Enigma
Haruhi often thought about what sort of people the Host Club members were. And she always came to the same conclusion.
They were all enigmas. Each and every one of them.
Despite his grandmother's ridiculing and his father's teasing, Tamaki remained cheerful and open, full of life. The twins were very fond of Haruhi, although they had never had a friend before that wasn't their twin. Hunny was quite receptive of Haruhi and anyone else who liked his Usa-chan, and Haruhi knew Mori liked to keep quiet, but she found him opening up more and more to her.
Kyoya, on the other hand, was the biggest enigma of them all.
It seemed that he liked to control things, but from hidden in the shadows. He didn't bask in glory and attention like the others. Kyoya often kept to himself but not to the point of being antisocial. When he spoke it was important. His words were like a double-edged sword.
Haruhi found herself often wondering about Kyoya and his mysterious ways. One thing was for certain; she would figure out this enigma.
Kyoya pursed his lips and stared over the rims of his glasses. The current object of his attention was a puzzle to him. And Kyoya didn't like puzzles or games unless he was in control of them.
Kyoya hated to admit it, but he, like all the others, was intrigued with Haruhi Fujioka.
That girl was an enigma.
She had wants and needs like every other person, but she didn’t seem to be overcome by those wants. (He had subtly confirmed these thoughts through "innocent" emails with Ranka-san.) Haruhi was a girl who seemed to like the simple things. But why? Because she was a commoner? Were all commoners like this? Ranka-san certainly didn't seem to be that way.
At first, Kyoya only saw Haruhi as a pawn, not a girl, but then he found himself steadily watching her more and more. He told himself that it was nothing; that she was like a new species that needed to be observed.
But when Hunny brought her fresh strawberries, something in Kyoya roared to life as Haruhi's eyes lit up in pleasure.
That same something roared to life when the twins would cuddle Haruhi to their chests.
And when Mori would pick her up.
And when Tamaki would cradle her face in his hands.
Even when girls fawned over Haruhi.
And whenever he would catch himself with those strange feelings, he’d force them down.
What in the world was happening to him?
