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

[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]

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.

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.'

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

A dream like student life? [and then he smiles] That sounds really nice. I bet it really was your mother checking on you. She seems to be very kind and smart, I'm sure she's always watching over you and really proud of you.

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

I think so, too... [She smiles at him.] And she's right. It really is like a dream.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[of course he blushes] I'm glad.

[he looks down at the table, pushing the mandarin back and forth again before looking back up at Haruhi with a smile]

I'd like to pay my respects to your mother again some day. I could come by your house without the others this time. If that's okay of course!

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Eh? [She blinks.] As long as you don't cause a commotion like last time... [She only means the arriving in a limo and stuff.] We can go home together after school some day, all right?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he would flail at the commotion bit, but the last part of her statement stops him.] You mean we can walk home together? Do we get to take any buses or trains?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah, I do. Is that all right?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Of course, it's really really great! I've never been on a commoner's bus before. It will be a lot of fun!

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

[This could be a bad idea...]

Just let me know when you want to come over.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Hmm...is there a day that will be best for you?

If it's a day when Ranka-san will be there, please let me know. I'll make sure to bring a gift for your father as well.

[although, he's a little scared of Ranka-san being there really, all things considered.]

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Most days will probably be all right, unless I have a lot of homework.

[She'd rather her dad not be there, either, if she wants it to be peaceful.] It might be better if dad wasn't there, so that he doesn't have to worry about guests.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Maybe tomorrow after club?

[he lets out a small sigh of relief too] If Haruhi thinks that best.

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

That should be all right.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[looks down, blushing]

Ah, Haruhi, what kind of flowers does your mother like?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

[She tries to think of a specific flower but then she just smiles softly.]

I'm sure she'll like what you pick. Sempai knows flowers very well.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

That's true! Would you like to help me pick them out?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Ah, all right. We'll stop somewhere on the way home.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

...stop somewhere? Is there a floral arranger and available gardens on the way to your apartment? I'll have to at least make an appointment, won't I?

[virginaesthetic.livejournal.com]

A-Ah, I usually see flowers at the grocery store or in the department store.
