I hid in the shadows the moonlight ♛ of a chilly night illuminated

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya appears with his laptop on the Plane, so he has good reason to be surprised when there is SNOW around him]

...what?

[Wrapping his laptop up in his blazer, he looks around. First instinct? Someone brought a snow machine. To the Plane at large, and so whoever may be responsible, even if it is Lapis and Lazuli]

I don't think that this is an advisable idea.

[A sigh. He pulls off his glasses to clear up the fog]

[Haruhi doesn't really feel like getting up.]

It's pretty comfortable, isn't it?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[his eyes glaze over and he blinks. When he opens them again, they're filled with stars. He nods enthusiastically.]

It is, it is!

[wistfully]

Haruhi is comfortable with Daddy~

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Walking around would probably be bothersome right now, too.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I see, I see! Haruhi doesn't want to walk around in the crowds with all those people. Haruhi is comfortable here and would rather spend alone time with Daddy at the kotatsu!

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

I keep thinking it's going to be snowing when we go back, too.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

It's all really strange, isn't it? I think we're lucky though. We can enjoy the refreshing coolness of snow here, and then return home for warmer weather, and all it takes is a single thought.

[She nods and frowns a bit.]

I hope that doesn't give us colds.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I never get sick!

[but then he frowns a bit, too]

But that's why it's good there's so many articles of warm winter clothes for you to wear. That will keep you from catching a cold.

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

I don't really get sick much either. It's still good to be precautions.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[nods and gives a small smile] Do you have any steps you take to keep yourself healthy?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

It's good to keep medicine around, especially stomach medicine and something for coughing. But at the first signs, taking cough drops or drinking tea is a good way to help. Sitting in warm baths and letting the steam relax your lungs is good, too. Getting everything done in the day when it's warm in winter...

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[that smile turns touched and almost proud] No wonder you never get sick. You really are very grown up about a lot of things. I bet you're very good at taking care of people when they're sick, too.

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Ah, I don't know about that. It's all pretty common sense. But...whenever dad got sick, I'd always have to take care of him.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[his smile remains touched and proud] I'm sure Ranka-san was very grateful to have you there. Does he get sick a lot?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Not very often. He still manages to sometimes. He used to get hungover a lot more though. That was annoying.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh. Was it because he missed your mother?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

That was part of it. He worked longer hours, too. And sometimes his friends would bring him home drunk and I would have to tell him he was being an idiot. I just wanted him to get some rest.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

He was really lucky he had you there to take care of him. He's better now though, right?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

He's fine now. We're happy. And we keep trying hard for mom, so she can be proud of us in heaven.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he blushes and smiles] That's good. I'm sure she is really proud of you both.

[pauses, and continues a little uncertainly] Ah, Haruhi, have you noticed that people can come here from the past, from a long time ago?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

[Haruhi thinks about it.]

I guess it makes sense. A few people seem to be from different times.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Kyouya and I met Madame de Pompadour, so people are coming from at least a few centuries back.

[hesitates and then grabs a mandarin from the bowl, playing with it and keeping his eyes there. Finally he looks back up at Haruhi again]

I just thought, maybe, it wouldn't be so strange then to meet somebody from the not so distant past here, too.

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Sempai...?

[It takes her a minute but considering where this conversation came from and the way Tamaki is acting, she manages to connect it. A moment of honest surprise before she looks slightly down.]

I had a dream about my mom not long ago. I thought maybe...it was just her checking in on me. But nothing like...that. That sort of dream would be...

[Wonderful? Cruel? Too much to think about?]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he looks down too, feeling like he brought up something maybe he shouldn't have, not so carelessly at least. He's quiet for a minute and then finally speaks up]

What happened in your dream?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

[She's still a bit distracted, now that she thinks of the possibility of her mother appearing. She has no idea how she'd feel about it. Happy, of course, but her dad couldn't see her and if she was from the past, then what about the future?

Still, she tries to push those thoughts down and looks back up.]

It was very strange. A lot of it didn't make any sense. But I remember my mom telling me she wanted me to enjoy student life. 'A dream like student life.'
