dictated

[hostess]

Kasanoda and Hunny:

Have either of you spoken with Tamaki-senpai lately?

Kallen:

Hey.

[And then, added in later:]

Tamaki:

Do you want to have lunch?

Comments

[kickthecanplz]

No, why?

[hostess]

Er. I was just - wondering.

[kickthecanplz]

[hm.]

... So how did the date thing go?

[note - he does not know Haruhi and Tamaki went on the date!]

[hostess]

It.. didn't go how I had expected it to.

[Haruhi takes a breath, and.. for some reason, assumes Kasanoda knows.]

[kickthecanplz]

[Oh this is going to end well.]

How do you mean? Did Tamaki not want to go through with it?

[hostess]

Er --

I think Tamaki and I are dating now.

1/idek

[kickthecanplz]

...

[what.]

[kickthecanplz]

[That.

That wasn't what he was expecting.

Um.

What.]

[kickthecanplz]

[Seriously? Those two dummies were actually able to get pass their awkwardness and denial and start dating?

Is this real? Is this a dream? Is this a loss?]

[kickthecanplz]

[And... why am I getting so worked up over it? I wanted this to happen, didn't I?

And Haruhi's not a liar. Hell, she's blunt! So this has to be true.

Huh.]

done!

[kickthecanplz]

...

[There's a bit of a sigh. half resigned, half happy. This is best for everyone. he is genuinely pleased that they're together.]

That's great.

ahaaha

[hostess]

[And she's.. horribly embarrassed. But at least she's sparing him the sordid details.]

It was.. sort of an accident.

[kickthecanplz]

... How do people accidentally start dating?

[why does he ask questions he doesn't particularly want answers to?]

[hostess]

[Well, if he's going to ask...]

He kind of kissed me. I think that's when I realized he really did -- er. Like me, too.

[kickthecanplz]

... Oh.

Um.

Good! Good. I knew it. Good.

[hostess]

I still don't think it's a good idea.

[kickthecanplz]

What? Why? You like him, he likes you!

[hostess]

What if he leaves tomorrow?

[kickthecanplz]

[... point. and didn't kasanoda loudly once make it a point to never start dating here because of that line of reasoning?]

... Well... If you both managed to get your feelings across here... Maybe you can do it again back home.

[hostess]

I wonder if I even have these feelings at home, though. I've been here... almost a year now. A year in a week.

[kickthecanplz]

And you could still know him in a year back home.

Look... maybe I shouldn't butt in on this, but... you two... make each other happy. I just think you should hold onto it.

[hostess]

I.... guess so. Thanks, Ritsu-kun.

[kickthecanplz]

... Frankly, I'm surprised Tamaki's been so quiet about it. You'd think he'd decorate his journal in glitter while dancing about it.

[hostess]

.... I hope he doesn't. It's no one else's business.

[kickthecanplz]

He does think of the Host Club as a family... but if I see him, I'll try to let him know to be a little quiet.
