The Adventures of Hiromi Fujioka (OHSHC fanfic ~ Haruhi's Twin)

Chapter 23: Haruhi and Hikaru's First Date!

Hiromi woke up and turned off the buzzing alarm next to her. Haruhi had the early morning shift that day. She got out with her usual outfit and apron on and saw Haruhi sitting at a table talking to someone, as well as all the hosts sitting at a different table and the twins sitting on stools by a counter.

She walked over to Haruhi and the boy realizing it was her old friend Arai. "Arai?!" She smiled with a small jump as she walked over.

"Hiro, hey!" He said as she walked over and hugged him. She grabbed a chair than sat with them. I've only ever here Haruhi call her that. I wonder why he can too..., Kyoya thought writing in his journal.

"How have you been?" She asked sitting with them. "I haven't talked to you since middle school." She shot a glare at Haruhi then looked back to Arai.

Haruhi had rejected Arai right before he left and Hiromi felt bad about it because she was the one to tell Arai to go for it.

"I've been good. I've been working at my uncles produce shop." He said as the three talked some more.

"So these guys are all in a club with you?" Arai asked looking at them.

"Yeah." Hiromi nodded with a smile.

"Host Club." Haruhi added with annoyance.

"Oh ok." Arai said noticing Haruhi's disinterest.

"Hey Haruhi! Don't you think you should be working? You shouldn't be slacking off!" Hikaru said making Hiromi turn around.

"Misuzu said I could have a break." Haruhi said back.

"It's my shift anyway." Hiromi said standing up. "I'll be right back." Hiromi smiled as she walked over to Hikaru.

"What's wrong?" She asked looking at Hikaru and picking up his drink.

He just looked away with a grunt as Kaoru looked at her. She looked at Hikaru with her brows scrunched and a pout on her face. She was mad that her friend wasn't even acknowledging her. "I'll be right back with your drink." She said with a sigh.

She got him a refill and then walked back over to Arai and Haruhi and sat down. They were talking about old friends and Arai began to blush. Hiromi chuckled and Arai nudged her. "Hey don't get mad at me, this is all-" she began to say before being interrupted.

"I'm just saying! It's obvious this guy has a thing for Haruhi!" Hikaru said loudly so they could all here. Hiromi looked at him her eyebrows furrowed again. "It's sickening to watch him try and flirt."

"What the heck Hikaru?" Hiromi asked looking at him still sitting down.

"Would you quit acting like such a jerk!" Haruhi said looking at him.

"Her don't worry about it Fujioka. He is right I did have a thing for you once." Arai said as the hosts, excluding Kaoru and Hikaru looked at him in shock including Haruhi. Arai always called Haruhi, Fujioka, even though Hiromi had the same name. Arai and Hiromi became friends and he was one of the few people who ever called her Hiro.

"Wait what?" Haruhi said looking at him.

"Why do you look so surprised?" Kyoya asked Haruhi.

"How did you not know?" Hiromi asked slightly angry and very amused by her sister.

"You have to let us in on this story Arai. Now what happened?" Tamaki asked as he began to explain.

"Well Hiro was giving me a pep talk..." Arai began as the flashback commenced.

"Arai don't be nervous okay. You can do it. I'm sure of it." Hiromi smiled holding his arms on either side of him.
