The Only Name {OHSHC One-Shot for SarahG(Blogger)}

"Lilly, stop. Why would you waste your time there?"

"It's not that bad," I say with a shrug. "Besides, they're having a Valentine's day special even. I know you like this holiday."

"Yeah, but you don't."

I shrug again. "C'mon. Celebrate it with me. You're going back to America after this week and you never let me come here after school."

So, I manage to pull her there with much fighting. "Lilly-chan, you haven't been here for a while," says one of the Hitachiin twins. "We were getting worried."

My cheeks turn a slight pink. "I'm fine, Koaru. I couldn't get Alice-chan to come," I explain, motioning to my friend. "It took a bit of arguing."

"Oh? A first timer?" asks the blonde prince better known as Tamaki.

"Yes," I say. "I was planning on putting her with Kyoya."

So, I go to the twins, but we all three watch Alice carefully. She smiles at times, but it's pretty obvious she dislikes it.

I sigh. "What am I going to do?" I ask the twins. "I have been trying to get her to enjoy herself, but she's American at heart. Not Asian like me."

"But you're American, Lilly-chan," argued Hikaru.

I smile. "Well, in my heart I'm Asian. In my actual makeup, I'm American." I sigh. "Well, I should take her home, See you all in class tomorrow."

So, Alice and I end up getting picked up by my mom. She was just headed back from shopping.

"So, how was school?" my mom asks.

"It was fine," I say. "I finally got to visit the club again."

"The one Yasu-chan forced you to?"

I nod. "Yeah. It's fun there."

"And how is Koaru-san?"

"He's same as ever."

Alice's eyes light up. "Lilly, you're blushing!"

"Shut up!" I exclaim.

---

That night, I drag Alice out again. This time it's a dance. I wear a long red dress that goes down to my feet and covers my red flats. Alice wears a pink sleeveless dress that goes with a white jacket. I am immediately dancing with Koaru, and she finds herself with Tamaki. I decide she's in good hands and concentrate on myself.

"Hey, where's Alice?" Koaru suddenly asks. "She's gone."

"Huh?" I scan the room quickly. "Oh no, she is gone! What if she got lost?"

I quickly wander the room, but she's gone. I scan multiple rooms and eventually find her walking out of the rose maze with Tamaki. They were hand in hand and Alice was blushing a bit.

"I'll ask you about it tomorrow," I say with a dismissive wave. "See you."

And so I leave her.

Of course it was Tamaki. He was the only name she could ever remember...

Inspired Happiness {Tamaki Suoh One-Shot for XxXZuruiKitsuneXxX}

Sacrifice those you love and the life you lived to bring forth the life you want.

Happiness. Joy. Felicity.

Whatever you want to call it, that is what I like to see. Happiness when the world is collapsing. I want to be optimistic. And I was as optimistic as I could be while struggling to get by in the world.

"Hasegawa-san, what could you be up to outside the clubroom like this?"

I turn to see Tamaki Suoh looking down at me, a large smile on his face. I feel my face go red and getting caught. "I was looking for someone," I explain. "Then I forgot that they had to go home when school ended today. So, I'll be leaving."

I turn to leave, and I refuse to give him a chance to answer.

When I get home, I am greated by my father. Apparantely he has another boy he wants me to meet. His name was Yukio Yamamoto, and he is supposed to be inheriting his family's company since his twin brother doesn't want to take it seriously.

"It's nice to meet you," I say.

He's younger than me, but he is a rival for Haruhi Fujioka as top of the class.

"I'm sorry you have to be put through this, Hasegawa Mika-san," he says. "In all honesty, I have no intention of getting married."

"That makes two of us," I say.

My father is angry now. I bite my lip. I probably just unlocked all of his fury. Hopefully he doesn't unleash it.

So, we go through with the dinner and say our farewells. We don't plan on meeting again. Even though I refuse to admit it, I actually have someone I already like. Someone who is happy and lights up the room.

"I'm going to bed," I tell my father. "Goodnight."

He is obviously angry. In truth, I this is the third guy this month that I have rejected. He is probably reaching his limit.

The next day, I arrive at school and take my normal seat. Tamaki Suoh is next to me, but I try to keep my eyes glued to my desk.

"Hasegawa-san, I saw you yesterday," Tamaki suddenly says.

"Huh?" I ask. Then it clicks. "Oh, yeah. I really wish I could have just skipped that entire meal."

"Why?" he asks. "Did you not enjoy yourself?"

"Not really," I admit. "If I start to date and eventually marry a guy, I want it to be because I love him."

"That's an eccelent viewpoint," he says. "Marriage that is picked for you is never good."

I nod. "I'm glad someone at least agrees with me."

After school, I walk towards the exit. My father just called and is really angry. I'm reading to run away to a park or something.

On my way out, I get stopped by the blonde prince, Tamaki. "Hasegaway-san, why not come to the club?"

"Ah, thanks for the invite," I say. I think for a moment. Tamaki's smile always cheers me up. "Okay, I'll go."

The host club isn't that bad. Tamaki flirts with everyone, but he doesn't flirt strongly with me. It's as if he's handling a fragile rose which will bruise with the slightest movement. After the club has ended, we walk out together.

"I enjoyed myself," I say. "Thank you."

He smiles at me. "I did too. Thanks for coming, Hasegawa-san."

I nod. "I needed to relax."

"Is something bothering you?"

I nod again. "My dad. He's always bothering me. He's upset since he recently found out I've been looking into medical school. Is it so wrong to not want to inherit the family business?"

"I think it's actually fine to want to be a doctor," he says. "Someone like you helps people naturally, though."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you realize it? When people are around you, they can't help but be happy."

I laugh. "I think you've got it wrong. You're the one that keeps people happy."

"Well, then how about it's that way with both of us?"

"I like that idea."

We have reached the door. We stop, and turn to face one another. Before I realize it, his lips are against mine. For that moment, I feel happy.

Many images pass through my mind. Images of being upset but cheering up the moment I see him on television. His happiness was always something that kept me going...

When we pull apart, my cheeks are deep red. He says, "I love you, Hasegawa-san."

I nod my head frantically. "I love you too."
