Haruhi sat at a table with three chatting girls sitting around. She was dressed in the boys uniform and once again in the Host club room/music room entertaining three guests. The girls giggled as they ate small cakes and drank tea, talking incessantly about everything. Haruhi smiled and complimented them, striking up conversation while she felt like killing Kyoya for letting three of the most annoying girls select her as there host. Of courses they didn't know Haruhi was a girl. 'Rich Bastards.' She cursed over and over again as she tried to be polite. She had a fake smile plastered on her face though none noticed.
"So Haruhi do you have a special girl at the moment?" Girl A asked batting her lashes.
"No at the moment I'm single." She smiled without thinking.
The girls squealed making her want to cover her ears.
"You must have had a special girl before though." Girl C said.
"No I haven't."
"Ooh!" They all squealed again.
Haruhi saw some of the others look over but ignored them.
"So have you kissed anyone?" Girl B asked.
"Well there was the kiss at the Christmas party but I wouldn't call it a kiss…" Haruhi started.
She remembered when she had to award a girl a kiss. Tamaki had interrupted and pushed her into the girl causing their lips to touch. Haruhi wouldn't classify it as a kiss.
"What does a kiss taste like?" Girl C asked.
They all looked at Haruhi with dreamy eyes.
"Well…" She started.
She thought a moment. What did a kiss taste like? The almost non-existent curiosity she had in her, flared. She held her chin and thought a moment.
"I'll have to tell you later." She said giving a bright smile.
The girls almost swooned at the smile. Then they each started to chat and stood excusing themselves. Most of the customers were gone now. The other members of the Host club were scattered and a few were gone. Haruhi stood up still thinking. She was very curious about what a kiss tasted like. 'A kiss is just the feeling of one's lips pressed against another lips. A kiss would have no flavour. Would it?' Haruhi was puzzled now. Logically a kiss was an action and had no taste but maybe it did have a taste. Maybe it was just the breath of the other person too. Who could tell? Well those who had kissed of course.
She walked over to Tamaki. He had been labelled a kiss-a-holic so he had to know. She walked up to Tamaki who was at the moment eating some 'commoner's snacks'. She tapped him on the shoulder and he looked at her smiling.
"What is it Haruhi? Daddy is here for you."
He opened his arms expecting a hug. Haruhi gave him a look that said he was an idiot.
"I wondered what a kiss taste like." She said.
He looked at her. Suddenly his eyes got distant and hazy.
.--.
"Why a kiss tastes like this." He said.
He leaned over and his lips pressed against hers. Haruhi was startled but then retuned his kiss of passion.
"Oh Tamaki I love you." She said when they had finished kissing.
"Stay with me forever Haruhi." Tamaki said.
.--.
Haruhi just watched him stand there with that look in his eyes that said he was in the middle of one of his fantasies right now. She just walked off, not wanting to know what he was thinking. She saw the Hitachiin twins next. They smiled and waved as she got closer.
"Hey Haruhi we saw you talking to milord. What did you ask him?" Hikaru asked.
"I asked him what a kiss tastes like."
They looked at her and blinked in surprise.
"But you have kissed a person before; at the Christmas thing right?" Kaoru said.
"I wouldn't count that as a kiss." She said looking off.
"Why the curiosity?" Kaoru asked.
"Yeah, you have almost no curiosity." Hikaru said.
"Well some girls asked me and I told them I would tell them later."
"Oh." The two chorused.
"So do you know what one tastes like?" She asked.
The two looked at one another. Then they looked out the window.
"What a nice day! We should go play a game!" They said.
Haruhi watched them a second as they started to talk about the weather.
"You don't know do you. I bet you two have never kissed a girl."
The two both flinched and fell into a small gloom which was rare. Haruhi sighed and walked off to find someone else. She wandered around a moment before she saw Kyoya typing at his laptop. She jogged over to him and stood there as he typed. After a minute he looked yup.
"Yes? I'm quite busy if you hadn't noticed. If this is a stupid question I will increase your debt."
'The shadow king is grumpy.' Haruhi thought. She smiled brightly, turned around and ran off. If he knew he wouldn't tell and he probably didn't know. That left Hani and his silent partner. If neither of them knew Haruhi would never know the answer to her question. She looked around the room and didn't see them but she saw their bags, so she knew they had to be around the school some where else. She jogged of to the other club rooms and didn't see them. No one else was around to ask either. She was about to give up when she finally found a girl who had seen them.
"I saw them by the infirmary." She said pointing down the hall.
"Thanks." Haruhi shouted running off.
Sure enough as she reached the infirmary she saw the two. Mori was sitting outside on a bench where the nurse had kicked him and the nurse was looking at Hani. When the nurse walked off Haruhi slipped in. She decided to ask Hani first.
"Hello Haruhi!" He sang with flowers decorating every word.
"Hello Hani. I was wondering if you knew what a kiss tasted like." She said.
"Like cake probably." Hani said nodding.
Haruhi almost sweat dropped. Her eyes twitched. Then suddenly the nurse returned.
"Well Hani, you're fine. I called home for you and they sent a car for you. It should be here in a minute."
"Okay!" Hani smiled.
The nurse blushed and quickly walked off.
"What happened?" Haruhi asked
"I was battling Chika and some one walked into the middle of the fight. The only way to avoid hitting him was to take Chika's hit." He smiled.
"Where is Chika now?" I asked.
"He got embarrassed for hitting me under the circumstances and hurried home."
Haruhi brushed away the flowers floating around and smiled back at Hani.
"Mitsukuni your ride is here." Mori said from the door.
"Okay Takashi!" Hani said.
Mori walked up to him and Hani got on his shoulder like a piggy back ride. Mori headed out and Haruhi decided to see them out. She walked beside them and Hani started to talk about his favourite cake and what kind he would get Chika to make him feel better. 'Chika hates sweets.' Haruhi thought as Hani rambled on. She noticed that Mori glanced at her a few times as they walked towards the door but ignored it. When they stepped outside Haruhi saw a large black car waiting. Mori helped Hani in.
"Are you going to come, Takashi?" Hani asked him.
"I will get our bags and bring yours to you." Mori said calmly.
"Okay!" Hani sang making more flowers spring up.
Mori shut the door and they watched the car drive off.
"Oh! Do you mind if I come with you? I need to grab my bag too." Haruhi said.
He nodded once and they walked off in silence. Haruhi glanced at Mori a couple times. She had known how tall he was but she hadn't known he was that tall. He had a pretty handsome face when you were close too. Haruhi hadn't really looked at him before. She tore her eyes away and walked in silence sorting her thoughts. She doubted he could answer her question but thought she should ask anyways. She was embarrassed to ask though. She always got skittish around Mori. Then she thought of another question to ask him.
"Hey Mori…" She started.
He looked at her as he kept walking.
"Would you mind if I called you by your first name, Takashi?"
He blinked. A small tinge of red filled his cheeks.
"Go ahead."
"Thank you Takashi."
She smiled brilliantly and he blushed a bit more. They continued in silence again but the mood had lightened. As they reached the Music room they found it locked. Takashi pulled a key out. Haruhi looked at it.
"Who else has keys for the room?" She asked.
"Kyoya, Tamaki, me." He said.
Haruhi smiled up at him. He opened the door. She saw her bag in the corner and walked over to it. She grabbed it and looked around. Everyone was gone and the lights were out. Takashi walked to the small couch where his bag and Hani's bag was and scooped them up. Haruhi walked back over to him.
"Hey Takashi?"
He looked at her.
"Do you know what a kiss tastes like?"
He blinked. Then he turned a fain red.
"Why do you wish to know?" He asked.
"Well I was curious."
"You're never curious."
"But I did get curious."
She was a bit surprised. They were having an actual conversation… almost. He looked down at her. She stared up at him with her large brown eyes.
"So do you know?' She asked.
She blushed slightly as he stared at her a moment. He reached down and cupped her face in his hands. She blinked at him wondering what he was doing. Suddenly his lips pressed against hers. Her senses exploded with pleasure. She let a small gasp escape and Takashi's tongue slipped into her mouth fighting against hers. She felt his arms move. One wrapped around her waist and the other held the back of her neck deepening the kiss. She melted into him. She unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer. When they finally ran out of air they pulled back breathless. Haruhi just stood there getting air.
"Does that answer our question?" He asked.
"What question?" She asked still numb with the pleasure.
He smiled.
"Your question was 'what does a kiss taste like'."
"Oh." She said.
"Did you get your answer?"
"Not really." She said.
"Then we'd better test it again."
He leaned down again capturing her lips. He felt her relax and kiss back. He leaned over slightly pushing her back. She fell onto the couch and he followed still kissing her. Their tongues battled and their lips moulded to the others. When they ran out of air again they broke apart. Takashi smiled and slowly stood up. Haruhi also stood up. Takashi grabbed the two bags and Haruhi grabbed hers. As they walked out of the music room Takashi shut and locked the door, before pocketing the keys. He grabbed Haruhi's hand. She looked up at him. She was flushed and he guessed he was the same.
"Haruhi…" He started.
She smiled at him questioningly.
"Will you go out with me?" He asked.
Haruhi blushed but still smiled.
"You know, I think I will."
He smiled down at her and they walked off down the hall.
"So did you find out what a kiss tasted like?" He asked.
"I kiss's taste can't be described but it is very tasty." Haruhi said.
She smiled up at him.
"Maybe we can capture the taste next time." She suggested.
