I found this community through a pimp in an Ouran community. It looks like it would be fun so I decided to join!

Title: Afteglow
Rating: G
Genre: General
Pairings or Characters: Haruhi POV, Haruhi/Tamaki
Warnings: None.
Summary: Haruhi thinks about her life after the Host Club.


When I had enrolled in Ouran Academy for my freshman year in high school, I had never expected to be thrown so rapidly into the world of the rich. Being forced to partake in the school’s Host Club, pretending to be a boy (though it was troublesome and annoying at times) I had so quickly started to love every minute of my time in the Third Music Room.

But those carefree times of high school have passed by almost too quickly and now I am a first year university student, with my flamboyant boyfriend at my side.

I know, I can’t even believe I can call Tamaki-sempai my “boyfriend” now, but that’s what he wants and I’m more than willing to accept it. When he had graduated Ouran a year before me, he confessed everything openly, without anything left unsaid. After the incident with the beauty Éclair Tonnerre, our relationship had grown so much, but there had be no spoken words of our true feelings until then.

But that day, with the scent of roses and the cheering of the graduates, I had accepted Tamaki’s feelings wholeheartedly. He had told me how much he loved me, wanted to stay with me, and possibly go to the same university after I graduated. He even told me that if money was a problem, that his father would be happy to help pay or find scholarship money to get me into college. I knew that even if I had declined his father’s offer, that Tamaki would have done something for me anyway. I ended up getting a full scholarship on my own, just based on my grades and test scores.

So that’s how I ended up going to this prestigious university, spending most of my days between classes and my time Tamaki. I feel so at home being with him, like I could spend the rest of my life beside him; I think sometimes, that I couldn’t live without him. That I might just collapse and never wake up without being able to hear his voice or touch his skin.

I guess I just feel like a different person from when I first walked into that room at Ouran. I’ve started to care more about my looks, I even grew my hair back out and try to look more ‘girly’. Mostly because of Tamaki’s constant suggestions and persuasions to do so.

I often find myself missing the others from the Host Club while walking through the campus grounds. We had grown so close, and had really become a family. I cared for everyone so much, and ever so often I get a phone call from someone and we catch up. But things won’t ever be like they were, but I’ve accepted that now, because I couldn’t be happier right now where I am. And I know we'll always have those friendships until we die.

Yesterday, Tamaki proposed to me.
