She scanned the table of food and settled on the platter of fresh vegetables, just a few steps down. Of all the delicious-looking food there was, she ended up picking up a slice of carrot and started munching on it. The last thing she wanted to do was eat something "messy" and ruin her dress in the process. Part of her knew she shouldn't be acting like this, but she just couldn't help it. It was like an automatic reaction.

But the piece of carrot was helping her stomach. After finishing it, she grabbed a napkin and placed several other vegetables on it and continued to eat.

She looked down in the direction of the desserts that Tamaki-senpai pointed out. They were the most decadent sweets she'd ever seen. Chocolates, cakes, pies, and tarts. Hunny-senpai would've had a ball at that table, she thought absentmindedly.

"Let's go look at the desserts," she said as she finished her food.

A random person accidentally bumped into her then. It was just a slight nudge, purely innocent, but it caused her to stumble forward slightly, and grab Tamaki's wrist to balance herself again.

He smirked at seeing that Haruhi chose to eat the vegetables. He reached over and grabbed a carrot himself to much on. She was so cute while she ate healthy.

He nodded to her, heading towards the desserts table. Tamaki turned his head, looking at everyone else at the ball. They all had such beautiful clothing and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was like the events the host club had. He just wanted to see everyone cheerful.

Tamaki's eyes snapped open as Haruhi grabbed his wrist. He turned quickly. At first, he thought that maybe, she could be trying something but noticing her face, Tamaki shook the thought from his head. He reached over Haruhi and put his hand on her shoulder, trying to help her steady herself. "Are you okay?" Tamaki asked her with a concerned look on his face.

He should ttly feed her cake... LMAO. jk

When Haruhi had herself steadied, she promptly dropped Tamaki's wrist and straightened herself out. She felt a little embarrassd just grabbing him like that with no warning. It was just that his wrist was the closest thing to grab on to. A slight blush crept up to her cheeks in her embarrassment. She felt like such a klutz.

"I'm fine," she told him as she brushed her hair out of her eyes. She had only been here for two months, but her hair had already started to grow out. It was still short enough not to pull back, but her bangs had seriously started to grow out. She figured she would need some sort of a haircut soon.

"Let's go to the dessert table, hm?" she said and started in that direction.

His hands fell back to his sides when Haruhi released his wrists. He noticed the piece of hair in her face and as he watched her brush it away, he felt the urge to place it behind her ear himself. Tamaki wanted to see if her hair and face were as soft as they looked.

At once, Tamaki took a step away so he was out of reach. He mentally shook his head. He couldn't go around, thinking of feeling Haruhi's hair. If Haruhi noticed how he was acting, she'd be freaked out. He sighed to himself. Who would have thought it was this hard to be friends with someone you loved more than a friend?

"Yeah. Dessert." He nodded his head, following Haruhi. As they made their way to the table, Tamaki noticed a few pieces of vanilla cake with white frosting and topped with a single strawberry. Haruhi liked strawberries, right? "These look good, don't you think?" He picked up two plates and held one out to Haruhi, hoping she liked this kind of cake.

[reallyiamagirl]

"Yeah, I do," she answered him. She smiled as she took the plate from him and said, "Thanks."

The first thing she did was pick the strawberry off the top of the slice of cake. Then she took a bite. The strawberry was delicious. She hadn't had one in a while, and these were exceptionally sweet and mouth-watering. It was like a sweet explosion in her mouth.

The funny thing about Haruhi was that she wasn't a sweets type of person. Sure, she would indulge herself every once in a while, but desserts weren't on the top of her "things to eat" list. She also wasn't a big fan of icing. So when she finally got to the cake, she took her fork and skimmed off the icing that covered the top of the slice, and eventually took her first bite.

As she continued to eat her piece of cake, she observed the slowly-filling dance floor. So far, everyone she watched was pretty good at... whatever the dance they were dancing was. She just noticed all the twirling the women were doing, probably prompted by their partners. Haruhi wasn't the most knowledgeable person in those matters.

When she was finished, she placed the plate back on the table Tamaki had grabbed it from, and clasped her hands behind her back again.

"You know, I wonder who left this dress for me," she said, trying to start some sort of intelligent conversation between her and her senpai. "It's too weird how it just fit me perfectly and all."
