Haruhi sat in her futon cupboard, curled up into a tight ball and crying. She had her hands clamped over her ears, but it still wasn't enough to block out the storm. Silently, she wondered when Tamaki was going to come--however, she was distracted from those thoughts when another rumbling clap of thunder echoed through her house.

Tamaki raced up the steps of Haruhi's apartment complex; he'd forgotten an umbrella in his rush to leave, and was getting fairly soaked by the rain, but he didn't consider that particularly important at the moment. He reached her door and pounded on it once or twice before remembering that she had said she'd leave it open and letting himself in.

"Haruhi?" he called as he closed the door behind him and looked around the room, not seeing her. "Where are you?"

Haruhi heard Tamaki calling and hiccoughed, trying to steady her breathing. She pulled herself up with the cupboard door and slid it open, stepping out shakily. "H--Here--"

There was another loud bang and a bright flash. Haruhi's legs buckled underneath her and she tumbled out of the cupboard in a heap.

He raced over and knelt down beside Haruhi, automatically putting an arm around her as he did so. "It's okay," he said soothingly as he tried to comfort the trembling girl. "It's okay."

She hiccoughed again and ended up clinging to Tamaki when the tiny apartment building shook a little with the rumbling force of the thunder. "Sorry," she mumbled while she hugged him.
