Lost and Returned (Ouran High School Host Club love story)

Chapter 13

So first, everyone wanted to go to some resort that Kyouya's family owned, which ended up being more troublesome than it was probably intended to be, but everyone came out of it okay. I really wasn't sure how I ended up getting dragged along with them, Mori and Hani were the ones that kind of ended up leading me there- though now looking back it was just like secret kidnapping. Since I wasn't thinking about it, I didn't take that camera there, and looking back I wish I had, there were some pretty scenes in there that I could have gotten references for. The few weeks after I continued to take pictures at the club for Kyouya, I took about a week and a half's worth of pictures. Of course I made copies of the ones I wanted to try and recreate and learn from. It seemed like Kyouya was okay with the quality of my pictures, and I managed to see one of the books that he had made, not all the pictures were in it- but he said that he saved some for a later copy down the line.  Of the pictures of the hosts I did keep, Tamaki ended up being the first one I ever tried to sketch up out of the bunch, and I wasn't sure if it was on purpose or if he just naturally did it, but in every picture I took of him it looked almost like he expected a camera to be on him at all times. Then again knowing Tamaki, he almost always looked like he was posing for something, so it was probably natural at this point, but it made him a lot easier to draw which was why I started with him. The twins were complicated since drawing two people in the same picture was hard for me, it was hard to get the height right and make sure the anatomy for both was in place. Really I needed more pictures though, the more I drew the better I would be, but the club was getting repetitive really it was almost tiring- well picture wise, everything else was still crazy and unpredictable. 

"Let's go to the beach!" That's the first thing I heard when I entered the club, well it was warming up some, but I really didn't think we would be going to the beach or anywhere so soon after that last little trip. Where did this idea even come from? 

"When did this happen?" Haruhi apparently was at the same place I was, well at least I wasn't the only one that was confused about this. Though the boys seemed excited, well most of them, two of them seemed the same as they normally were. That wasn't surprising, it would scare me more if they were bouncing up and down excitably. 

"It'll be fun! I thought about it the other night~" Tamaki was grinning like a fool, he must really want to go, though looking at Kyouya I had a feeling that he was the one that was doing all the actual planning for it. Tamaki never seemed like he was the best at organizing things, and really I was worried about what would happen if he had to organize and do everything for something. 

"Guys I really don't think I want-" Haruhi was stopped as I tried to go over to Kyouya, might as well find out some information about how this came about, but next time I looked over Haruhi was being shown some swimsuits. It was like they forgot I was here, but then again, I didn't feel like being pushed into anything either.

"So is this really going to happen?" I looked up at Kyouya he was still writing in his book and typing onto some calculator on occasion, he sure was thorough that was one thing that no one could take away from him, even if it was frightening with his personality type added in. 

"If Tamaki says it, then it will, he is the club president after all." He spoke with a smirk,  I refrained from rolling my eyes, he made it pretty obvious to people that knew him, that he was the one really running things behind the scenes. That's probably what kept the club from going broke though. 

"I'm not wearing that! I need to go home, if we're not doing anything else, I have to study and clean up!" Oh yeah, I was going home with Haruhi for a bit today, more so because I needed help with a history lesson I missed the other day than anything else, but I agreed to help him clean up a bit too. There was also something that I wanted to ask him about.

"Bye." I waved at some of the others, they were pouting about the fact that Haruhi and I were already leaving, but there was no reason for us to stick around, plus Haruhi wanted out even faster whenever there was another big plan going on, or he was just being harassed by Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki. Though things have been aggravating me less and less as things go on, they still manage to work on my nerves- like they do Haruhi- but I think I'm growing a patience for them now, or I'm just getting used to them.

"You can set your stuff in there, do you want anything?" Haruhi had a nice little apartment, I took off my shoes as I entered and set my bag where I was told before I shook my head.

"No not right now." Really I was just here to get some notes from that missed class and help clean up a bit since Haruhi seemed like he really just wanted to get to studying so that he could be prepared for the test that's in two days- another reason I was here. Cleaning didn't take long, it seemed like the apartment was already pretty clean, it was just a few things here and there that really needed to be done. It wasn't until we sat down planning on studying that I even bothered to think about asking about what's been bothering me. "Haruhi?"

"Hm?" He looked up as he got out the last of his things, he had a lot of notes and things to look over, he was always diligent, and in some ways I envied his ambition, he was so sure of what he wanted to do and would do what he needed to get there no matter how hard the work might be. Haruhi was an admirable person, but lately something about him had been bothering me.

"Haruhi, are you a girl?"
