"C'mon Y/N-Chaann!! You promised that you'd come this time! You can even eat some of the good ones?"A high pitched male voice whined as you refused once again to join the host club to pick strawberries for a tea party theme being held next week. 
Everyday since you helped sort out the fight between Hikaru and Kaoru you had been spending your lunchtimes with the club. The simple hour went by faster every lunchtime as Tamaki requested daily hugs, helping Mori out with watching over Honey-Senpai, the twins bickering over your attention and Honey pestering you about coming to the day out to the strawberry field all while Kyoya watched you carefully with an intrigued expression on his face.
Being awoken from your daydream, you look at Honey-Senpai who was sitting on your lap, his eyes looking into your own trying to convince you. Teasing him slightly, you shook your head side to side causing him to pout his small mouth slightly, his eyes flickering mischievously. Taking the opportunity of your faces being so close and your eyes being closed, he quickly pecks his lips against your cheek and pulls away as he runs back to Mori. 'We'll pick you up at your place Y/N-chan!!!' He shouts behind you in his sweet voice. Left in a flustered state with your head pounding, you rest your head in your cupped hands as you realise what you signed up for.

The car ride to the strawberry field was an absolute nightmare. The hosts had picked you up from your house at 7 on that Saturday morning, far too early in your opinion to do stuff like this. To add to the nightmare that this trip was becoming, the twins refused to let you shower in peace until you gave them your phone number, Kyoya-Senpai was commenting on the style and architecture of your house and Tamaki-Senpai was looking around your room like a lost puppy. Once you had showered and done your basic morning routine, constantly being stared at by the club, except Haruhi of course, she understood the struggle of the pressure that the club put on people all too well, you just barely managed a moment of 'peace'. When you told Lily, your maid, to serve the guests some tea, after much explaining of course. During these moments of tranquility for yourself, you gently rub oil into your cuts, all at different stages of healing, still grimacing whilst looking at them. Finally, after much bustling around your house and much secrecy of hiding the contents of your bag from Tamaki, you decided that you were ready for the painful day ahead.

The car ride there was hell for you, despite many other girls seeing it as heaven. The limousine that Kyoya had bought along was more than big enough to fit the 7 hosts and you, but they all somehow managed to make you the focus point of the journey. Honey was sitting on your lap, playing with Usa-chan. Mori was staring out the window, peacefully watching the green and hay-coloured fields pass by. The twins were bickering as per usual and were trying to get your attention, doing things like promising a lewd and long night of focusing on you, to gently resting their hand on your thigh and gently rubbing circles onto your skin. Kyoya simply sat and stared at you, whenever his icy eyes met your own e/c ones, you looked away slightly flustered whilst he smirked. Tamaki seemed to be lost in his thoughts, his eyes switching from you to the countryside whizzing past as the car drove through the peaceful area. The heat inside the car was immense, despite the windows being down and the aircon on as per Kyoya's  request and the heat was getting to you. Mentally face palming, you realise that it was a dumb decision to agree to coming on this trip in this heat, especially considering you wore a long sleeve dress. Despite it being thin, the heat was slowly getting to you and having Honey on your lap didn't help at all. Hoping it wouldn't affect your day too badly, you attempt to strike up a conversation with Kyoya as this was his limousine after all.
“Hey Kyoya-Senpai, where is the strawberry picking place we’re going too?” You ask, titling your head so you could make eye contact with him from behind Honey's narrow shoulders. “My parents own a strawberry plantation that produces hundreds of thousands strawberries annually. I thought it would be a good place to scout out for later tea parties we will be holding at the club, along with a bonding activity for you and the members. We will be approaching it soon enough.” Once hearing about the future parties, Honey's ears perk up as he turns his gaze away from the scenery. “Hey Y/N-Chan, have you ever been to one of the club's events? All of the strawberries we use in the cakes come from Kyoya's family’s strawberry fields.” The once quiet car was now filled with Honey listing all the cakes they had served whilst hosting and his favourite sweets. Looking around the car, you notice the same love and affection in all the hosts eyes whilst watching Honey was going on multiple tangents. They’re all looking at him with a loving care, an indescribable way that made you feel safe, comfortable with these people you had known for less than a week.

(Time skip brought to you by the fact that I remembered this story like 3 years ago and am finally updating it now)

After dozing off listening to the host club ramble on about cakes and sweets for a little, you awaken to the sound of the car tires on a gravel drive. Sitting up straight, you see that surprisingly Honey had too, fallen asleep on the car ride there and you gently shake him awake, resulting in a little groan as he slowly opened his eyes. As you rub your eyes, getting used to the sun you see Tamaki and the twins stifling laughter. “What’s up? Is something wrong?” You ask, slightly concerned. “Well Y/N-Chan, I didn't know that cute girls snore even cuter” Hikaru chuckled as you turned bright red from his mixed comment. “We’re here” announced Kyoya, turning away to hide his smirk from the rest of the hosts. 
As you reached for the door handle, you were surprised at the driver opening it for you, not expecting to get that service here despite getting it at home. Bowing your head slightly as a sign of thanks to the driver, you slowly step out onto the paved pathway as you let your eyes adjust to the blinding sun. Reaching for your hat in your bag you notice how large this farm really was, as your eyes adjusted to the light it only seemed to get bigger. The twins immediately began placing bets on who could pick the most strawberries and how the loser would buy lunch for the whole group, Honey became distracted by the daisies that grew beside the path as Mori collected the sun umbrellas. Tamaki stood next to you, staring at the never ending strawberry patch, the beautiful green leaves in rows and the small area of small shops selling various strawberry based goods. Kyoya was quietly talking to the driver, presumably discussing the arrangements of picking you all up.
Feeling a slight tug on your dress you tilt your head downwards and see Honey holding up an intricate daisy crown with yellow dandelions woven in. Grinning form ear to ear you accept it, gently taking it from his hands, much to Honeys delight. Surprised that your hat was already off, thanks to Tamaki who was wearing it instead and looking like a puppy that someone had dressed up, you placed the flower crown on your head, letting it rest on your H/C locks. After adjusting it a little, you turn towards the hosts, slightly embarrassed due to all the attention. In return you got shocked looks from them all. Mori was looking away, his face all flushed and his hand rubbing the nape of his neck, Kyoya had a mix of shock and delight on his face as your eyes met, the twins were gobsmacked with their mouths wide open like a fish, Honey looked on with joy, excited to see how delighted everyone was with his gift. Tamaki stood as stiff as a board, his face bright red as his expression changed from one of shock to admiration and a softer, more proud look resided on his face. Noticing how all the hosts had reacted in a similar way, you looked down shyly as you fumbled with your long sleeves awaiting anyone to say anything to make it less awkward for you. It was Kaoru that broke the silence, “woah, Y/N, YOU LOOK SO CUTE IN A FLOWER CROWN!!!” He exploded, wrapping his arms around you jumping up and down with glee. The sudden compliment made you blush even harder, prompting even more compliments from the twins, Honey and Tamaki. Realising they weren’t making fun of you, you join in with the laughter and banter. ‘Maybe I’ll have more fun strawberry picking than I was expecting to today.’ You thought to yourself as you and the hosts started to make way towards the strawberry patch with the sun gently shining on the group, causing an aura of happiness and enjoyment to radiate around everyone.

A/N:
Heya!!! I just want to say thank you for 500 reads on this story, I would have never expected to get even 50 when I was drafting this story up nearly 4 years ago. 
I randomly remembered about this story last night, causing me to log in and write some more of this fanfic. I dont think the parts I’ve added are particularly good, considering I haven’t written in months but I’d hope to get back into this. Again, thank you so much for reading my story, 12 year old me would’ve been so proud and happy to see her dumb writing ideas going somewhere <3
