CHAPTER FIFTEEN
"strawberries"

for some reason, she was now holding the five-year-old-looking boy in her arms, as he clung onto her like a baby. they were all in haruhi's house, despite the girl's annoyance.
she carried the small boy in her arms as he wanted a tour of the house, the tallest of the bunch with them. she learnt that the small boy's name was haninozuka mitsukini, but preferred to go by honey. what shocked the girl was that this boy was a third year, seventeen years old, just like her. yet he looked as if he was only seven years old.
the tall one was morinozuka takashi, but preferred just mori. he was tall, standing at around 6'2. he was a silent guy, but wasn't shy. he hadn't said much to y/n, but he would give her small smiles as they walked around the apartment. y/n couldn't deny the fact that he was undeniably handsome, and looked like the strong type as well due to the subtle yet visible biceps in his arms. definitely y/n's type.
maybe she should've headed back into her house to grab a shirt... she was still in her sports bra, and that may have been a bit innapropriate as she was with a bunch of boys. she didn't have much to worry about really, she was covered pretty well, as it was the type to cover her breasts and upper abs, so it looked like a thick strapped cropped top. but her stomach area was still exposed, because of her loose pants.
she honestly didn't know why she needed to give them, well honey, a tour of the house. haruhi's, as well as the other people's apartment in their building, house was pretty simple. there wasn't really much to see, and didn't really need a whole house tour.
"have you really never been to an apartment house before, honey-san?" she asked him, placing him down onto his own feet.
he nodded, a bright smile still displayed on his face. "yeah! this is my first time! and it's so cool! thanks for showing me l/n-san!"
she smiled at his excitement, literally like a little kid going to somewhere fun for the first time. nodding at him, she ruffled his hair, seeing as he was around her shoulder height. (yo i changed her height from 5'7 to 5'9)
"it's no big deal, and please, don't call me by my last name. y/n's alright." y/n smiled at both of the boys, earning a continuous nod from him. "you can head back to the living room with the others, i'll go help out haru-chan."
his eyes widened in gratitude. "really?" as she gave him a sincere nod, the boy jumped happily and ran back to the room. "alright, thanks y/n-san!" and as he ran back towards the room, y/n turned towards the kitchen, where haruhi was currently at.
"hey doll." she called out, slightly frightening the girl. turning around, haruhi noticed her female senpai walking towards her, a smile on her face. "you need any help?"
haruhi smiled back at her, shaking her head. "no, it's alright, i'm almost done with the tea so it's all good. i also prepared you your large cup of coffee."
y/n usual smile turned into one of warmth, taking the cup into her hands. "you didn't need to, my house is right next door."
the short haired girl shook her head. "but i wanted to. take it as an apology for not taking you to the markets with me this morning."
she scoffed, smiling after. "fine, i will."
"you think they'd care that i don't have matching cups? i have no clue how rich people are when it comes to being a guest at someones house." haruhi asked, beginning to poor some of the tea onto different cups.
y/n shook her head. "they should be alright. it's just cups, if they fret over that then they can leave."
a laugh left haruhi's mouth, but before she could speak, a voice interrupted her. "i'm sorry haruhi, you don't need to go through all that trouble... we don't need the tea, we can just have water!"
both the girls heads turned around, seeing one of the ranga twins extending his arm out towards the short girl. y/n sweatdropped at his dramaticness, whereas haruhi responded simply. "what? it's no trouble, besides i've already made it."
haruhi turned around to continue pouring the tea, whereas y/n watched as the boy was suddenly sitting beside his brother and the blonde, the three deadpanning as they said, "oh, well then in that case-"
"they're weird." y/n told haruhi, turning back around as she grabbed a couple of cups, and haruhi beginning to take the other.
she was introduced to the host club earlier, however, as expected, she had already forgotten their names. the only ones she managed to remember was honey and mori, as she spent a couple extra minutes with them (and she practically held honey as if he was a kid).
"all of them are." haruhi continued. "but you get used to it i guess." the two were now at the table, handing the tea out to everyone, except y/n as she had her coffee. "okay guys, the tea is ready. i'm sorry that we don't have any matching cups."
"that's alright, haru-chan! here! have some sweets! you too y/n-san!!" honey smiled brightly, bringing a box of sweets onto the table.
"uh, are you sure, honey-senpai?" haruhi asked unsurely, eyes looking over the cakes.
"go ahead," one of the red-headed twins stated. "we're rich so we eat this stuff all the time."
a bunch of whispers followed after this, causing y/n to raise her eyebrows at the three boys.
"i'll take the strawberry cake then." the young girl made her decision, honey placing the cake onto her plate.
y/n's eyes were trained onto the three men she was looking at earlier, eyeing them weirdly. she didn't know what thoughts ran through her head, but all she could tell was that the three boys were oddly moving around their upperboddies, with somewhat greedy (?) looks.
she then felt a tap on her shoulder, causing her to turn her head around the other way. mori was looking at her with his usual-serious expression, holding out a plate of cake for her. "do you want some?"
she shook her head, smiling at mori's offer. "it's alright, i haven't eaten breakfast nor lunch yet. and i don't eat sweets that much."
"what about fruits?" he asked.
she thought about it. "yeah, i do eat fruits, it's healthy so-"
"here, you can have my strawberries." mori told her, holding a fork which had a strawberry on it, motioning it to her mouth. "open."
"what-" but before she could ask, he had already placed the fruit inside her mouth, gently of course. her eyes widened at the action, chewing on the fruit as he took the fork out.
"thank you..." she mumbled softly, somewhat flustered at the sudden gesture.
haruhi noticed the interaction between the two, smiling amusedly. "wow, mori-senpai, you managed to make y/n-senpai blush. you're probably the first one to ever do that-"
"keep eating your cake haruhi!" y/n exclaimed, trying to shut the girl's mouth.
honey tilted his head in confusion. "has y/n-san never blushed before? isn't blushing normal?"
haruhi snickered, "yeah, but i'm not talking about the embarrassed or tired type of flustered. normally she's the one making people flustered with her flirty comments, yet she's the one who managed to blush at mori feeding her a piece of strawberry."
as mori widened his eyes at the new information, y/ laughed nervously, starting to get up. "hahahaha, alright i need to go finish making my lunch. thanks for the strawberry, mori-san."
"no wait, y/n-senpai--"
"see ya later haruhi," she walked towards the door. upon exiting, she turned back around to look at the other people inside. "it was nice to meet you guys,"
