Yuuto offered to walk Haruhi home, to the dislike of the club, simply because of the trouble she had to endure.
And whilst the girl really felt the effort was unneeded, she just couldn't deny him for some odd reason—so she met him halfway.
Which is how they ended up in this hallway, where Haruhi stare out the window behind an ever-trekking Yuuto, who hadn't yet noticed her falling behind.

He stopped as he noticed the lack of echoing footsteps following his own, and swung around, looking for the smaller.
He saw her transfixed with something just outside the window and let his curiosity get the best of him, slowly turning and meeting her side.

"?"
While he did not speak, his interest was glaring. His questioning went unanswered by a return of words, but instead by the scene they both now gaze upon.
A backpack, he could only assume was hers, next to a fountain and various items swimming in its waves.

"Ah."
"I didn't think there would be this kind of petty bullying at this school. You'd expect rich people would have a higher level of maturity.."
Yuuto nods in response, recognizing the irony just as Haruhi undoubtedly had, though she didn't upset at it, instead letting out a little chuckle before beginning to sprint through the hall.

Yuuto does not join her in pace, though his strides grow larger, following at a consistent distance.

On the way, they whip past one of Tamaki's 'princesses' who halts Haruhi, pulling her close and whispering into her ear whilst staring into Yuuto's eyes behind her.
And while he doesn't listen in, he wishes he had with the way she breaks it off, an evil smile on her decorated lips and a scheming aura surrounding her.

When they arrive at the fountain, Haruhi quickly takes off her shoes and rolls up her pant legs, stepping in and wading through the lightly whipping waves of the fountain.
Yuuto follows, sending a ripple through the water again.

"Senpai! No. I can do it myself, please don't get yourself all wet!"
Though Haruhi yells in worry for the taller, he continues to float through the water, picking up the discarded items that bounce and sway at his movement.

——

Tamaki stands at the edge of the fountain, neither of the duo noticing his presence.
He watches as they blindly push through the water, looking under lily pads and through tall grass, but not finding what they're looking for.

"Hey, commoner! And Yuuto too. You've got some nerve skipping out on the club like that..."
He points at the two scorningly, teasing anger in his eyes, though his facade quickly breaks and concern shows instead.

"Anyways, why's Haruhi's bag wet?"
"It's nothing senpai, I'm dealing with it, Yuuto is helping me."
Tamaki seems to consider something, standing with his hands in his pockets before he too, joins to help.

"Woah! No way, I don't want you and Yuuto all wet, you'll get a cold!"
"A little water never hurt anyone. And I want to get Yuu- I mean- both of you out of here as soon as possible."

"I found it, Haruhi."
Yuuto interrupts, holding up a black zip-up wallet.
Haruhi halts her fruitless searching, then stills, staring into space in thought.

"Haruhi?"
Yuuto questions in concern.

"You're not falling for him, are you?"
Tamaki asks, in what seems to be a jovial tone, though his eyes fail to reflect the emotion.

"As if."
Haruhi grabs her wallet from Yuuto's hand, rushing to the edge of the pond and pulling herself out.
She shivers at the mixture of her exposure to the cold air and the piercing glare that was burning holes into the back of her head.
She pays the glarer no more attention than he deserved and throws her bag over her shoulder.

"Get somewhere warm, okay?"
Haruhi exclaims as she walks off, leaving the two to their devices.

"Yes. And tell me when you find who threw your bag in here."
He voices back, watching her nod widely in acknowledgment.
As her back disappears, he turns to his leader offering his hand.

"Don't glare, it's rude."
He sternly expresses, pulling him out and taking his arm to escort him back to the club.
