Unlovable

Chapter Twenty-One

Mori's POV:

Adjusting his lab coat, Mori followed Mitsukuni into the health room. The glasses on the bridge of his nose felt a little odd but he ignored it. Dressing up as a doctor was part of Tamaki's plan to keep Haruhi's gender from being discovered. He didn't actually think the plan would work but had no problem with going along with it for now.

Once he and Mitsukuni were inside the health room they were immediately surrounded by a crowd of girls asking why they were dressed up like doctors. At that moment Haruhi walked by and looked in their direction. She looked extremely bewildered by their outfits. Trying to stay in the spirit of things, he and Mitsukini put their fingers up to their lips, pretending like they weren't surrounded by people who already knew exactly who they were.

His gaze swept indifferently around the room until it landed on a pair of intense blue eyes. Tsukino-san was staring at him with one eyebrow raised skeptically. Although he hadn't minded his role in Tamaki's plan before, for some reason being under Tsukino-san's acute scrutiny made Mori suddenly very aware of how ridiculous he looked. He felt himself start to blush and quickly looked away before she could notice. After a few minutes he looked back in her direction but Tsukino-san wasn't there anymore. It made him feel an odd mixture of relief and disappointment that she was no longer watching him. He spotted her heading across the room behind a blond nurse, an almost annoyed look on her face.

Mori couldn't help but watch her as she walked. Tsukino-san had this odd ability to make her presence dominate a room and yet when she wanted to she could fade quietly into the background. It was fascinating to watch her weave her way through a crowded room without anybody seeming to notice her. But then she stopped and her eyes narrowed. She turned around, almost as if she was trying to follow someone, and Mori couldn't help but wonder what she had seen. He didn't find out though because a crowd of girls stopped Tsukino-san from reaching her destination. Instead, as she forced herself through the crowd, she ended up over by where Hikaru and Kaoru were taking off their shirts.

The excited squeals could be heard across the room and Mori had to fight not to wince. Tsukino-san seemed to find the noise painful as well and for some reason Mori was relieved that she didn't seem to be at all interested in the show that the twins were putting on. In fact, she just rolled her eyes. He almost smiled at that.

And then he had to tear his eyes away because Mitsukuni was pulling on his lab coat.

"It's time Takashi." He said and Mori nodded.

While everyone was distracted by the twins he and Mitsukuni grabbed Haruhi and started dragging her away.

"Come on Haru-chan!" Honey said. "This way!" They moved too quickly for her to have any chance to protest.

And with that they pushed her into a changing room where Tamaki was waiting. He was finally going to put his plan into action, although Mori seriously didn't think that it would work.

"Mr. Fujioka," a brunette nurse called, "are you ready to be measured now?"

"Yes." And them Tamaki came out with a serious look in his eyes. "I'm Haruhi Fujioka."

"Wait," one girl said, "that's Tamaki."

"There's no denying it," another one said, "that's definitely Tamaki."

"Is he cosplaying as Haruhi?"

"What's going on? Is he trying to be funny?"

The sound of the twins' laughter reached Mori's ears and he turned towards them.

"I can't believe he actually did it!" Hikaru exclaimed.

"They recognize him!" Kaoru gasped. "I told you they'd see through it!"
