36|| I Love You

--------------------------

"I wondered why you were late..." I exhale and shake my head as my mother gives me an apologetic smile.

"I should've told you guys." My mother says as she strokes Ageha's hair.

"So... Wait," Mita speaks up. "You've been in a relationship with Haruhi's dad for more than a year and now that Haruhi, the twins and Kako know... You're planning on getting married?"

Ranka and my mother nod.

Miya squeals.

"You're going to be sisters!" Miya claps, bouncing up and down. "We're going to be big family now!" She grins and sighs contently, Hikaru watching her with sparkling eyes and red cheeks.

"If I may ask... When is the wedding?" Ana asks in her British accent. Her voice causing Tamaki to grin.

"Well uh... We... We haven't planned anything yet." Ranka scratches his head, looking at my mother.

"Then let's do it!" Tamaki throws his hands up.

"Let's plan the biggest wedding ever!" Honey chimes in.

Everyone else nods in agreement and we all turn to look at them.

My mother and Ranka look at each other and break into a smile.

"Really?" She looks at me and I nod. "Haruhi?" She turns to Haruhi and she smiles.

"Yeah."

Ageha gives my mother a side hug and Ota wraps his arms around her neck from behind her, giving her a peck on the cheek.

"You've worked so hard for us..." Ota says.

"...If it makes you happy." Ageha tightens her arms around her and I take a deep breath, trying to hold back tears.

Ranka looks at me and Haruhi with a big grin.

9 months later

"Pretty." Ana says, looking at me with sweet smile that showed off her deep dimples.

I look down. "Thanks. You look... Amazing." I say, looking back up. "You always do."

She chuckles and continues to braid my hair.

"You're really good at braiding... How did you learn?" I say and she smiles, not looking up.

"I... Don't know." She shrugs. "...My mother told me that she never taught me..." She says with furrowed brows and a slight pout. "...For some reason, I also know how to make flower crowns. I don't know why but, every time I start braiding or making flower crowns... I hear a voice whispering and telling me to loop it this way... That way..."

I look at her from the mirror.

"...But every time I do braid or make flower crowns... My heart hurts and my head is trying to tell me something, as if i'm forgetting something or.. Someone... But my thoughts are always cut off by that voice." She sighs and finishes doing my hair. "Hah... Sorry... I'm just... Blabbering." She chuckles, looking down.

"No, It's okay..." I say and she takes a deep breath.

"Ana-hime~" A voice sings and her face brightens.

"I should go. See you." She strokes my hair and gives me a warm, motherly smile, before leaving.

I stare at the door.

Ana...

"Fuck!" A familiar voice hisses.

Miya stumbles into the room.

"Are... You okay?" I say as she glares at the bottom of her dress.

"I am going to fall and embarrass myself." She says with an exasperated sigh and flops down next to me.

I chuckle and she gasps.

"Oh!" She takes the heels off and throws them aside before jogging over to a pair of white converses.

Knock knock!

I walk over to the door and open it.

"Oh!"

Hikaru and Kaoru stood there in black tuxedos, hands in their pockets, hair up, Kaoru's hair leaning slightly to the right and Hikaru's to the left.

Speechless at how good Kaoru looked, I just stood there, gaping.

"Ahaha! Look at you turning all red!" Hikaru pokes Kaoru's cheek.

"Hikaru!" Miya appears behind me and smiles at Hikaru. "You look handsome." She says and his face turns a shade of red. "Hahaha! Look who's face is red now!" Miya glomps him and pinches his cheek.

Kaoru and I watched them walk down the hallway, holding hands and joking around.

"Ahem!" Kaoru clears his throat and I slowly turn to face him.

"Kaoru." I croak out and clear my throat.

"You look beautiful." He smiles and then looks down.

"T-Thanks." I purse my lips and take a deep breath.

"Ready?" He asks, looking up with a beautiful smile.

I stare at him, forgetting to breathe and blink.

"Yeah!" I yell out and he flinches. "Er..." I laugh nervously and hear him chuckle.

Suddenly, he wraps an arm around my waist and I look up at him. He smiles and leans in, eyes closed and lips puckered.

I quickly shut my eyes.

Chu!

His lips peck my cheeks and I open my eyes to see him smiling, amused.

"Oh? You wanted me to kiss you here instead?" He pokes my lip.

Irritated, I pull away from him and glare at him with my brows furrowed.

"Stop teasing!" I huff, turning away from him. "Wah!" I scream as my legs wobble.

Kaoru wraps both arms around my waist from behind and holds me up.

"Pfft. Cute." He whispers into my ear and I stand up.

Without turning around to look at him, I storm down the hallway.

He catches up to me and I feel his eyes on me. I can see his amused smile from the corner of my eyes.

I see my mother up ahead and freeze.

"Wow..." I smile and my eyes tear up.

"Oh! Kako!" She sees me and grins.

I walk to her and hug her.

"You look beautiful." I say and pull away to look at her.

"Thank you. You look like a princess." She says, stroking my cheek with the back of her fingers. "Oh Kaoru! You look like a prince." My mother giggles and Kaoru walks toward us, scratching his head with a smile.

"We're starting!" Tamaki yells out as he grabs Ana's hand and walks to the door.

"Oh my god!" My mother gasps and grabs both mine and Kaoru's hands. "Get ready~" She sings, placing my hand on Kaoru's. "Gotta get last minute touch ups! Bye sweetheart!" She skips away and I giggle.

The doors open and Tamaki and Ana step out first.

"Hey..." I hear Kaoru's voice and look at him. He stares at me as if waiting for a reply.

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

This is the second last chappy! Ah! Sorry it was confusing, weird and rushed. I just want to quickly finish so I don't have to worry about it anymore *sigh*

I hope the little bit of fluff made up for it.
