Tamaki walked the corridors of Ouran High School, going to the main office to meet their new student. His new job around the school was introducing new students and showing them around the campus, etc. Today, the school was recieving a tall, dark-haired male named Kazehaya Shouta. The blonde made his usual charming smile as he walked over to the boy. "Why, hello there.." Tamaki greeted, somewhat flipping his hair back in manner that usually swooned his fellow students, well, the female ones. Kazehaya scoffed somewhat, doing a roll of his eyes. Tamaki's large ego hadn't noticed the other boy's gesture, and decided to go on with his talking. "I am Tamaki Suoh, it's nice to meet you.. Kazehaya Shouta, was it?" He tried to remember from the information he recieved from the office. They usually told him first, so they didn't have to go through the "embarrassment" of introducing themselves. "Yeah," Kazehaya replied, nodding. "That's me." Tamaki grinned and started to walk off in his usual dramatic manner, using his hand to gesture for the other male to tag along. Kazehaya raised an eyebrow and just followed behind Tamaki to explore the campus. "C'mon, c'mon, we don't have all day!" he said obnoxiously, the charming smile staying on his face as the new kid followed behind.
Kazehaya made a look of annoyance as Tamaki lead the way to wherever they were going to. He was in a bit of a foul mood- transferring from one school to another. He missed Sawako.. he loved her. Kazehaya sighed and ran a hand through his hair, hoping that this move would be worth it.
Tamaki slowed his steps so Kazehaya was at his side. He noticed the boy had rather.. handsome features, even when he looked like he'd be anywhere but at Ouran. "I believe we should start the tour at the garden.. and then save the Host Club's room for last.." the blonde went on, continuing to make gestures with his hands as he talked. Tamaki liked to hear himself talk- it soothed him.
Alright... Kazehaya thought as the two walked outside. The dark-haired male noticed that Tamaki was a bit of a stuck-up kind of guy. But.. Kazehaya had to admit.. he thought it was kind of cute when people wore uniforms. It looked cute on Sawako, and it looked a bit.. sexy on Tamaki. He blushed a little at the thought, realizing what he was fantasizing about. What are you doing? He asked himself, as he found himself checking Tamaki out. You like Sawako, remember?
The two almost reached the garden as Kazehaya's dark eyes stared straight forward, refusing to look at the blonde next to him. "Where you from?" Tamaki asked in his soft voice that he used especially to swoon the girls of Ouran. He tried to make conversation with the bloke, he seemed like the kind that could possibly work at the Host Club. He had an attitude, good looks,.. and he was pretty fit as well."Not too far from here.. the last school I went to was much smaller than this one.." Kazehaya replied, looking around Ouran. It was large.. expensive, too much to his liking. But he was transferred here by his parents.. so he was stuck with it. No friends, no Sawako, no more of his favorite small coffee shops that he went to regularly. He'd get new friends eventually, but they wouldn't ever compare to Sawako.
Tamaki lead around the garden, the smell of roses filling the air, other types of flowers joining the perfume-like atmosphere as well. "Don't worry, Kazehaya," the blonde reassured, looking over to the boy and having a smile on his lips. "I'm sure you'll feel welcome here soon enough.." Tamaki put a hand on Kazehaya's shoulder in a way to be comforting, unable to resist his habit of acting like a host. Kazehaya glanced at the hand in a bit of curiosity, but was also somewhat weirded out.
Tamaki removed his hand from Kazehaya's shoulder, and continued to smile at the boy in a way to welcome him.. but it was still freaking the dark-haired boy a bit. They walked around the campus, occasionally talking from time to time as they passed by dining halls and music rooms and classrooms and so on. Tamaki wondered what Haruhi was doing- wondering if she missed him..
He decided to skip the rest of the tour to go back to the Host Club's room to see Haruhi and the rest of the gang. He hadn't talked to Haruhi in days, she had been very busy since she was no longer a host- well, she quitted temporarily- because she had finally paid off the vase. Tamaki knew she was visiting today, though, to have a tea party with Honey for fun.
Tamaki and Kazehaya finally arrived to the Host Club's reserved room- the place where a girl could go and a boy could give all of his attention to her, and vice versa. Where all the female students became swoon by simply the cuteness of Honey, or the forbidden love by the twins, or perhaps.. the "prince-type", Tamaki, that swooned women by the touch of a hand..
When they had entered, Kazehaya could have sworn he felt Tamaki's hand brush his own. It made him almost blush like mad- but he quickly calmed himself- sudden human contact drove him wild.. the thought of him and Sawako almost kissing before.. was too much. Kazehaya wasn't very smooth when it came to kissing and holding a lover.. and he had many admirers, but never had kissed any of them.
"Host Club!" Tamaki called, clapping his hands as if he was calling a servant. Honey skipped over, his bunny in hands. "We have a new student and I believe, we hosts, should.. break in the new kid.." the blonde added, as the rest of them presented themselves to Tamaki. Haruhi stepped forward, her hair much longer than when she had joined the club, and wearing a casual white dress. "Hello there.. I'm Haruhi," she greeted, making a half-smile at Kazehaya. Haruhi held out a hand to shake Kazehaya's to complete their introduction. And then.. it happened.
Kazehaya felt himself blush slightly as he looked at the girl known as Haruhi. She was really.. cute. Not cuter than Sawako, of course. But.. cute. Really cute. And her smile was so... he couldn't even put it into words. No no no! His thoughts interuppted him, snapping him back to reality. "I.. I'm Kazehaya Shouta," he replied, shaking the girl's hand.
Haruhi giggled softly, letting go of the new kid's hand, "It's nice to meet you, Kazehaya."
"He's cute," Kaoru and Hikaru said together, grinning widely as they appeared behind Kazehaya, causing the dark-haired boy to jump, feeling rather alarmed.
Kazehaya was now blushing furiously at the compliment, one of the twins coming more closer to his face that was covered in shades of red. It was Hikaru or Kaoru.. no one could really tell. Except Haruhi, of course.. she could tell the difference. "D'aww.. he's blushing!" one of the twins muttered, giggling.
"That's enough, boys.." Kyoya scolded, keeping the calm face he always kept. Kazehaya blinked a few times again, the blush starting to fade away. Finally.. he thought, regaining self control of his emotions.
Honey tilted his head to the left slightly, staring up at Kazehaya. Kazehaya was staring at Haruhi without realizing it, and neither did Haruhi.. "HEY!" Honey senpai shouted, tugging on Kazehaya's shirt. He looked down, seeing a small blonde that looked about 5 years old. "Do you like cake?" the tiny blonde asked, making a very.. kawaii face.
Kazehaya raised an eyebrow, "Uh.. I guess.." He answered unsurely as Honey walked away, forgetting to introduce himself. Tamaki stepped closer so he stood next to Kazehaya, brushing his hand on the dark-haired male's leg.. accidentally, without noticing he had did so. Kazehaya's face turned a bright pink again, glancing at Tamaki's hand. "Oh, sorry," the blonde laughed, moving his hand away from the other male's leg. "Uh, yeah.. no worries," Kazehaya replied, bringing one of his hands to his face to feel how warm he was. He was like a stove. He got all embarrassed so easily.
"That's Honey," Tamaki added, gesturing his hand (the one that had been touching Kazehaya a lot lately) towards Honey senpai who was running over to a table for some cake.
"That's Mori-senpai," Tamaki continued, gesturing his hand to a dark-haired, tall male that was around 'Honey'. He looks loads like Ryu... Kazehaya thought, remembering his best friend that he had left behind. He hoped he and Chizu were getting together soon.. the tension between them was unbareable. "And Kyoya," he pointed to a male with dark hair and glasses, holding onto a laptop.
"Kao-" Tamaki began, pointing to one of the twins. "Er... Hik-.. or.. Well.." The blonde was unsure, he could hardly tell the difference. The one he was pointing to called out his name ("HIKARU!"). "Kaoru," he said, being totally oblivious that it was indeed, Hikaru. The redhead rolled his eyes as he went with his twin to a customer that just stepped in to assist them. "And Hikaru," Tamaki finished, pointing to Kaoru.
Kazehaya thought it was a bit too much to take in all at once. He'd much rather have a one on one conversation. He missed Sawako.. and her smile.. and her laugh.. and how she always said "Uhma.." whenever she was in thought. His eyes drooped slightly, remembering her face.. regretting that he hadn't kissed her goodbye. "WELL, KAZEHAYA," Tamaki said loudly, clapping his hand on the other male's back, snapping him away from all thoughts. The blonde grinned widely, hugging the dark-haired male by the side to bring him close. Kazehaya was taken aback, surprised by sudden closeness. Tamaki was really warm.. and smelled like a cologne that was rather.. refreshing and nice. "WELCOME TO THE HOST CLUB!"
"T-Thanks," Kazehaya replied, his cheeks starting to tint with blush already. Tamaki walked away, telling Kazehaya that he'd be talking to Haruhi for awhile, and to feel free to talk to anyone around. He was a social butterfly, right? Kazehaya wasn't shy. He had loads of friends at his old school.. he was sure he could gain some new ones here..
