A/n So you can see this as romantic or platonic I'll leave that up to you. I just very much liked the idea. It may be weirdly written. I struggled keeping a consistent point of view.

LEAVE REQUESTS!

"AH! It's just frustrating! I wish they'd justacknowledgemypersonalityalittle. When they come home it's just Y/n! Gounloadthedishwasher, godothis, godothat, nowgotobed! They hardly ever ask about my day. I guess I'm being a self centered brat but the way-" "Y/n calm down"

You blew out a raspberry at Haruhi's statement. "I'm calm." You said. She snorted in response continuing to walk down the street.

"Ok explain why you're angry at your parents this time. Slowly." Sucking in your cheeks and blowing out a sigh you complied.

"I'm tired of being treated like a maid instead of a daughter.... I don't mind doing chores, you do chores. But you're acknowledged for your achievements. Your dad will talk to you about things. Mine won't, I know they care. But they're stupid and Don't listen to me... "

You and Haruhi had been best friends for ages. Since elementary school, and she still let you Vent about your parents. Recently she'd been venting about her new friends from her elite school. You currently spent one if your off days making your way to her house.

"Do you think you're just reading the situation Wrong? It's clear they care. Have you ever talked to them about it?" Haruhi tried reasoning.

"I've tried"

"You've tried?"

"I've tried"

"Okay then. Maybe just try not let it bother you."

"That's awful advice." You gasped out

"I'm aware."

"Anywho update me on what's going on at Ouran? Anything new?" You asked changing the subject.

She groaned and you laughed. "That bad huh?"

"Another schools students tried to recruit me...The guys at the club didn't take it too well. They dressed in drag, I didn't handle that part too well. The students we're from a girls academy and there was something going on about womanly love and honor to the arts." She said rubbing her temples.

"Maybe I sold go to that school then! Whatcha say Haru-".
"You go there I disown you. The girls we're more exhausting then dealing with Tamaki and the twins."

"Oh please, sweetheart like I'd get into an academy of any kind anyway". You replied with a sarcastic venom.

"True" Haruhi giggled.

"The guys must really care about you if they're willing to dress in drag for you like that."

"Maybe.. It's mostly because of my debt though. Its the only reason they'll ever socialize with me."

"Whatever you say Haruhi."

It was quiet the rest of the walk. You'd throw in a bad reference or pun in here and there receiving a glare or chuckle from Haruhi.

Once Haruhi's apartment building was in view you saw a crowd of people and a black limo.

A few boys began to climb out of the limo. One after the other. Haruhi groaned and leaned into a lamppost by the side of the road. "What's going on?" You whispered to her.

"It unfortunately looks like you're meeting the host club today Y/n." She practically hissed. "Oh it'll be fun, let's go!" You grabbed her hanhand and began walking towards the group.

Then you caught wind of the boys conversation. The tall blond who you assumed was Tamaki was saying something along the lines of "we're not here to judge the Fujioka families lifestyle! The words shabby, cramped and run down are absolutely forbidden!"

"What the hell?" You muttered in shock. Most of them looked like that was a normal thing for someone to say. You looked at Haruhi and pointed at the boys. "What?" You muttered.

She nodded with her eyes closed and rubbed her temples. Tamaki went on and on about "not offending anyone" Or "trying to not get kicked out". Haruhi began yelling at then while you just kind of stared.

Tamaki and Haruhi began arguing and the landlady got involved. It was interesting to see play out.

You looked over at the group and started putting names to faces.
"Okay the small Blond is honey, he could kick my ass.. Mori is the tall guy and the same goes for him." You sighed.

"The Hittachin twins are the gingers, avoid them..last there's Kyoya, glasses guy. He could have me murdered and make it look like an accident." You muttered to yourself.

"Y/n let's go, they won't take no for an answer" Haruhi called out to you.

You chuckled and followed her. The guys looked at you curiously. Except for glasses he just smirked knowingly ... He knew you... You knew he knew you and it terrified you.

"WHY HARUHI! WHO IS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FRIEND! WHY DIDN'T YOU INTRODUCE US! SHE'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE AMONG THESE COMMONERS" Tamaki yelled grabbing your hand and pulling you close.

"Well, you're definitely how Haruhi described. He flipped and ran over to her talking about how 'his daughter' was talking about him.

"She talks about us? " The twins asked unison. You nodded. Walking to the stairs before Tamaki grabbed your shoulders and tanked you backwards "My dear you must tell me what Haruhi said about me!"

"She said you're overbearing and obnoxious-let go of me!" You shrieked. Jumping forward falling on the stairs.

"Holy crap" You muttered eyes wide gripping your chest.

You heard everyone carrying on over what you had said. Haruhi came and grabbed your arms and you walked up the stairs. They all followed.

Haruhi gave a quick lecture to them about being quick so they'd leave. Once you were inside you walked over and sat in the usual stop you went to when you came over and looked at the group again.

"Who are you exactly?" One of the twins asked eyeing you rudely... 'Hikaru, maybe?' You thought.

"Hikaru don't be a jerk! That's my friend y/n, I've known her since elementary school!"

'I was right, I win.' You thought to yourself.

"Hello.." You said waving slightly as they all casually filed in.

"Is it necessary for all of us to introduce ourselves?" Kyoya chimed in, still smirking. 'Yeah he scares me." You thought.

"No it's not, I know who all of you are. You knew that though." You looked up at him from your spot on the floor. He chuckled and pushed up his glasses and walked toward Haruhi.

Honey ran to you and kind to tackled you. You yelped, quickly trying to sit up. "Hi n/n-chan! Does haru-chan really talk about us? You know who we are?"

"Yeah.... You're Honey-senpai Right?" He squealed and jumped off you. "Takashi! She knew my name!" He giggled like a five year old. Mori gave a short reply.

They all walked into the small room with the table. You heard mori mutter an "ow". You almost laughed.

Everyone kept making small talk and Haruhi began preparing tea. They went on and on AGAIN about how Haruhi didn't have the materials to make tea and it was tragic.

"Guys, she has a teapot they aren't broke calm down.." You muttered from your corner.

They sighed. Haruhi came back in with the tea and distributed the cups. You picked up yours and sipped it. "Holy crap, fancy tea" You muttered. Kyoya quietly snorted. You wrinkled your nose and looked down.

Honey pulled out a package of cakes and placed it on the table. "Here! Haru-chan and n/n-chan can pick first!"

"Really?" You asked suprised you we're offered one.

"Yeah go ahead!" Honey added, Hikaru made another comment about being rich.

You quickly thanked Honey and grabbed a small strawberry cake. Tamaki and the twins we're calling Haruhi adorable. Mori began putting strawberries from his plate onto hers.

"Here you like strawberries right? You can have mine." He said. Haruhi lit up saying "thanks, that's nice of you mori-senpai!"

Yeah she's adorable, you thought before picking little bites of your cake.

Everyone continued flipping out. Once We'd all finished the snacks the twins asked about lunch.

Kyoya asked Haruhi to order something but she denied saying she'd regret it. He cut in saying "oh don't worry Haruhi, we'll just pay for it using the profits from the photos of you we auctioned off."

You lost it... You busted out laughing as Haruhi twitched. "Oh my god, you're all crazy." You laughed covering your face.

"Shut up n/n, you're no better." Haruhi said smiling. You stuck out your tounge as the guys stared at you.

"How are you no better?" Kouru asked smiling at you softly. You sucked in your lip and began thinking.

"By being a distraction who's good at bringing in attention." Haruhi answered. You snapped and pointed at her "yeah that, I'm very good at that."

"That's not a good thing" Haruhi said as you stood up. "You love me anyway though."

"Yeah I do. Now about lunch-"

"Could you make us something Haru-chan? We'd love to try your cooking!" Honey piped up.

The 3 of the more obnoxious of the boys nodded excitedly.

"I'll have to go to the supermarket again. N/n stay here and make sure nothing explodes."

"Aw don't leave me!" You whined.

"she won't have to we're going too!" One of the twins exclaimed.

"Nope!" You both said. But they were already exiting the household chanting. Tamaki had stayed behind. You walked and leaned outside the apartment door.

Tanka was making his way home. "Hey Ranka how's it going?" You asked as he approached.
"It's fabulous dear! Thanks for asking, it was such a dreadfully long shift." He turned to enter his home and froze.

You leaned over too see what happened. Haruhi was 'pinned' under Tamaki. You laughed. "Ranka Don't freak, I have no doubt it was an accident. Tamaki is too blind to ever make a move that blunt."

He nodded and smiled at you.... Then stalked over and threw Tamaki against the wall. You laughed again walking over and sitting on the railing outside the apartment.

"Goofballs" You muttered chuckling.

The rest of the host club made there way back up to the group and began introducing themselves to Ranka. You watched from a distance. Kyoya...... Had been keeping tabs in private. Haruhi screamed and you laughed uncontrollably. You felt her glare.

"Y/N GET OFF THE RAILING! YOU'LL FALL OFF AGAIN!" Haruhi yelled.

I got a couple chuckles and a few concerned comments from the host club.

"Oh hush I didn't die last time! Are we going to the supermarket or not?"

"Yeah, yeah wait a minute. Guys you stay here we'll be back soon." You hopped off the railing waiting for her.

By the time you two we're walking down the street you were laughing at Haruhi again.

"I mean you shouldn't be surprised, why on earth would he not keep tabs? You're the one who told me he keeps track of everything and that it's scary!"

"Oh shut up, you would have been just as frustrated."

"But it wasn't me so I'll laugh at you. Also... I nearly died when Tamaki used the hosting thing on me when he noticed me." You continued laughing

"It was pretty funny knowing that wouldn't work. You're a worse heroine then me! I thought you'd say something about it. "

"Nah that group is scary, Mori and Kaoru seem the most calm so I think I'd get along with them..I'd get along with Tamaki if he'd chill out a little bit. I wouldn't know how to talk to honey as nice as he seems. Hikaru seems kind of unapproachable and uninterested, but kyoya scares me."

"They'd all become approachable over time. But after spending an hour with them that's very fair. Especially all of them at once." Haruhi said with a small smile on her face.

"Haruhi, you know how much they all care about you right? Plus it's so clear how much you care about them. I really think as crazy as they are they're a good group for you. "

"What?"

"You've come out of your shell again! You'll joke with me again! You stopped doing that for so long, it's good having you back." You smiled brightly at her.

"Hey, n/n I can see the sadness hidden under your eyes. What's wrong?" You sighed and chuckled.

"Couldn't ever get anything past you could I? It's fine, we talk about me too much. Anyway did you hear the crack when Tamaki hit the wall? It was so loud that-."

"N/n, don't change the subject. What's going on?" You felt her glare, you knew you wouldn't get off the hook easily.

You hesitated as the supermarket came into view. "I guess I'm just a little selfish, and disappointed. I couldn't really make you happy or help you. After meeting the boys I realized how much you don't need me around. In thinking maybe at some point you'll realize you don't want Me around either... "

"I could never get rid of you y/n. I love you, you're my funny sane friend who's always been there for me. I'll always want to have you around."

You smiled gently wiping a tear from your eye looking at the ground as you walked. "Thank you Haruhi. I love you too."

You we're both unaware of the group of males behind you who couldn't take the emotional scene they'd just witnessed. Or how it had brought a few of them to want to adopt you into their group.
