I felt the water push up through my lungs and out of my mouth. I was turned onto my side as I coughed violently.

Mori rubbed my back and helped me stand up. 

I let out a shaky breath and wrapped my arms around his waist. He patted my hair.

"It's alright now. You're okay," Mori reassured.

I took a deep breath and let go of him. "Thank you," I murmured.

"What the hell were you two thinking? You guys aren't martial arts masters like Honey and Mori-Senpai. What made you guys think you would stand a chance against them?" Tamaki shouted at Haruhi angrily.

My heart rate rose almost instantly at the volume of his voice. He looked livid.

By the time Tamaki turned to me I had mostly tuned him out, a almost high pitch ringing in my ears blocking out his angry voice.

"Are you even listening? You could have died, Mathieu! You're sick, what you did was stupid! You almost drowned!" He yelled at me. 

I bowed my head slightly, biting back the tears that were trying to well in my eyes. "I, I'm sorry, I was only trying to help, I wasn't thinking," I spoke softly, trying to keep my voice even. 

"That's right! You weren't thinking!" Tamaki snapped.

"The doctor is here, let's go get you two checked out," Kyoya said softly, putting his hand on my shoulder. The twins let go of Tadeo and he ran to my side, making sure I wasn't about to keel over.

After the doctor gave me the all-clear I went to my room. 

Once I was behind closed doors the tears just didn't seem to stop. I don't think I could bear it if Tamaki stopped talking to me, let alone hated me. I didn't think it would be a big deal, everyone was okay. It was just a bad situation. 

Once I calmed down I fed Tadeo and took a shower. After my shower, I changed into a t-shirt and cotton shorts and sat down on my bed. 

Tadeo came up and put his head in my lap, looking up at me with his big puppy-dog eyes. "Good boy," I whispered, scratching behind his ear, making his tail wag and his leg kick slightly.

I got up when there was a knock on my door. I opened it to see Kaoru.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked me worriedly.

"Yeah, I was just still reeling, I guess. It all happened so fast I didn't really have time to think. I was just so worried about the girls and Haruhi, I just, followed my gut," I rambled.

"Do you feel like coming down for dinner?" Kaoru asked.

I nodded and followed him downstairs. 

Once I got to the bottom of the stairs I felt like someone was watching me so I looked over at Tamaki and he avoided my gaze. I returned my gaze to the ground and sat down in between the twins. They both grabbed on of my hand.

We started dinner and I didn't eat. I didn't like fish so I just picked at the food on my plate.

"Aren't you hungry Mathieu? These crabs taste in-crab-ible, get it?" Haruhi giggled. 

"I'm not that hungry," I murmured.

Haruhi and Tamaki started to bicker again so Kyoya went to go show Tamaki to his room again.

"Excuse me. Goodnight you guys, I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused today," I said as I got up and went to my room.

I opened the door and closed it behind me, sighing deeply.

"How are you feeling Mathieu?" Kyoya suddenly asked, making me jump.

"Sorry, I walked into the wrong room, I'm fine, sorry again for any trouble I cause today," I stuttered.
