A Beautiful Secret (OHSHC)

My Cousin

{Yu's P.O.V}

Haruhi's father soon came home. He immediately passes out, Haru told me this happens all the time. She gets up and starts to cook dinner.

I just wait quietly in her room awaiting her return. I wonder if she does all the housework. Where I came from I didn't have to lift a finger. It would be considered unladylike if I did anything.

I scope her room and notice she doesn't have much girly things. Back where I lived my room was filled with pink girly stuff. It's funny how our two worlds are so different.

Haru calls for me, I stand up and walk out of her room into the living room. Looks like she prepared some ramen. I picked up the chopsticks and begin eating. I feel Haruhi staring at me. I begin to write something on the napkin.

'What's so fascinating about watching me eat?'

"Oh! I'm sorry for staring but I was waiting for your reaction. I knew that you lived somewhere way more fancy then this. I thought you wouldn't like ramen.." Haruhi explains to me trailing off at the end. I giggle a little then continue to eat.

After I finished my bowl I went to kitchen to wash it. Haruhi insisted that she do it but I ignored her. I head back into her room and get my PJs on while Haruhi heads to the bathhouse.

I take my mask off and set it beside me. My face was trapped in there all day. At the mansion I had more time to take it off because mostly everyone knew what remains under it.

"Are you, Are You
Going to set me free?
Where I risked my life
For you to leave,

Dangerous acts did
Happen here, no
Mystery is thee,

If you came back,
Would you still believe?
Are You, Are You,
Coming back for me?

Even though I shot
It was for you and me,
Your blood flows slowly out
Quickly as can be,
I did shoot, but that was for me"

I place my mask back on my face and begin to feel my eyes getting heavy. I must've had a rough day. I fall asleep at the window not knowing when Haruhi came back.

{Haruhi's P.O.V}

Once I arrive back home, I put my bath supplies away quietly. I can't afford to wake up father, he's had a long day. 

I enter my room and I spot Yu sleeping near the window. I smile and grab a blanket and set it on her slowly. I changed into my pajamas and hop into my futon and begin to drift off into a slumber.

It was the next day, I got up to make Yu and I lunch. I searched the house for the old bento box. Maybe I should let her use mine, I don't want her to get sick. It's better if its me then her.

I clean the bento boxes out and begin to cook a quick meal. Yu walks out of my room with her board in her hand. I wish I knew why she wasn't talking. Something bad must've happened to her.

I finish packing the bentos and hand her the newer one. Yu just stares at it blankly. I truly want to be friends with her but it's so hard if I can't tell what she's thinking or feeling. Yu takes it and we head out the door.

***

We got Yu's schedule and everything. She has pretty much the same classes as me, which is good. As we walk down the hallway people look at her in a weird way. Girls can be so mean these days.

I head into the host club to check in with everyone while Yu just wanders off. I'm worried for her being all by herself. What if something bad happens again? Even though I don't know what exactly happened I just know that she got hurt badly in some way.

"Haru-chan!" Honey jumps and hug me. I hug him back, I set him on the ground. I head over towards the group. They all seem serious.

"Why so serious, guys?" I ask them, they snap out of it and then began to greet me. They were really into whatever they were doing.

"My daughter! How was your cousin?! Is she nice? Did she do any perverted things to you?!" I hit Tamaki as he piles me up with all his questions. So annoying, I say.

"Boss, you really need to calm down." Hikaru says walking over towards him in the corner. Tamaki begins to grow mushrooms again. That absolute baka!

"Haruhi is a big girl so she can take care of herself~" Kaoru adds to his brothers statement. Sometimes these guys can be really dependable.
