This is my first OHSHC so please be nice. Also give me some suggestions, but don't flame. Constructive criticism is welcomed.
Anyway, this is a KyoyaXRenge story, because I like the couple. I opted for a calmer, a more down-to-earth Renge. In addition in my fic Renge figured out that Haruhi is a girl.
Renge was sitting quietly on a chair, in a corner of the Third Music Room. The hosts were entertaining clients, well almost all of them. Takashi Morinozuka, for short Mori, was also silently sitting beside her. It had been a few months since Renge had come from France to Japan. By now she knew all the dynamics in their little group and she had also figured out 'the secret'. Really it had only taken her a couple of weeks to put the pieces together and discover that Fujioka Haruhi was actually a woman. It was plain obvious by the way the short freshman interacted with the people around her.
That's not to say she was doing a poor job at being a host. In fact she was designated by many girls around campus, Renge included. Now one might wonder if Renge knew that Haruhi was a girl, then why didn't she expose her secret and why did she designate the little brown-haired girl. Once she understood that Haruhi was a girl Renge seriously pondered the situation and figured out that the other teenager must have had a good reason for joining the host club. Besides even a fool could see the love between Haruhi and the Phony Prince and as much as she disliked Tamaki for the way he acted she admired the love those two had.
However that was only part of her reason for not exposing Haruhi. The other bit was more selfish on her part. She truly, honestly loved Kyoya Ootori and she could see it as clearly as the fact that the sun shined that Kyoya also liked Haruhi very much. If she said she wasn't jealous it would be a lie, but that's how love is. When you really love someone who likes another you have to choose between fighting for them and letting them go.
And speaking of 'Mommy', Tamaki's nickname always brought a mental snicker that threatened to spill if she let it, so she just disguised it as a cough; Renge looked towards the spectacles-wearing second-year student to see him smile charmingly at a fellow student, who was giggling her head off. That smile was part of why she thought herself in love with him when they first met. In contrast, now she knew the smile to be fake so she looked past it every time he used it. That fake smile reminded her of a time when she lived in a world of fantasy with Myabi-kun as company.
Her love for Myabi faded when she met Kyoya and started falling for the real him, the 'Demon lord' with low blood pressure, a cunning attitude and a frightening temper. And even though her description made him sound like a monster he wasn't one. Kyoya just did whatever it took to achieve his happiness, there was no doubt in that, however if and when he hurt someone he wasn't necessarily happy about it.
Her inner rant was interrupted when Mori touched her hand. This movement startled Renge to the point where she barely held in a scream. Her frightened eyes turned upon Mori and promptly relaxed when she saw who it was. Being so lost in her thoughts she didn't really take the time to consider the other persons around her. As an apology she offered Mori a small smile and focused her full attention to him. It was unusual of Mori to speak to her so maybe he had something important to say, in which case she would carefully listen to him. To say she was unprepared for his request was an understatement. In an impartial voice the tall 17-years-old boy asked:
"Renge if you are bored just sitting here, would you join me for a walk?" Renge just gaped at him with an amazed expression before realizing she looked like a total fool and nodding her head towards Mori. With a merry voice she intoned her agreement before sitting up.
As the two made their way out Renge failed to notice the ice-cold glare directed towards them by Kyoya, who was trying to ignore Tamaki and his foolish comments. His blond 'friend' was completely obvious to the fact that their 'manager' walked out with one of the hosts. Now Kyoya was not jealous, he was just annoyed that Mori, for no reason whatsoever, went somewhere with Renge. Tamaki finally noticing the foul mood of his friend looked around for something that might've upset Kyoya. His gaze circled the room, not finding anything until he noted the fact that the 'Otaku' and Mori were not there anymore. However he doubted that the absence of those two would upset 'Mommy' so he opened his mouth to ask Kyoya what was wrong, when he was interrupted by the twins who simultaneously let out an 'oh my god'. Tamaki's attention was on them as they started telling the other hosts that the 'Otaku' had forced poor Mori to keep her company. Their rant was stopped by Haruhi who corrected them by saying that Mori had actually offered to take Renge out for a walk.
At this point Kyoya put on his usual mask, even though he was seeing red. He stood from his place and made his way towards the window. He overlooked the gardens of Ouran, spotting Renge and Mori sitting under a tree. Without realizing it his fingers gripped the wooden frame of the window. Renge seemed to be chatting away, occasionally showing a piece of fruit into Mori's mouth. Kyoya just had to wonder since when they were so close. Mori himself looked relaxed periodically nodding at something Renge had said; he even had a small smirk on his face. Whatever Renge was saying obviously amused him. His attention was snapped to the way her dainty fingers held a piece of fruit guiding it towards Mori's mouth. The teen sitting next to her grinned at Renge before opening his mouth to allow her to drop the fruit. In a second, which felt like hours to Kyoya for some unknown reasons, all was over.
Renge started giggling as she waved her hand up and down before she suddenly looked in the direction of the Third Music Room's window. Her eyes widened at seeing the whole host club at the window looking down at her and Mori. Silently she wondered if they saw her little game. Is they did she would sure be questioned about it. It was not like she was ashamed because she and Mori had a total innocent relationship. In the time spend with this boy they formed a bond with one another, she also realized that she only saw him as her brother and he himself said that she was like a little sister to him, albeit a bit annoying at times.
Dun, dun, dun! Chapter 1 ends here. Tell me how I did, please. Should I write more?
