Chapter 1

Mira was chilling alone, a bit of noise coming from one side of her headphones as she watched along with what she was watching while snacking on whatever she was able to find in her cupboard. All the while she was making a mental note to get more food here soon.

She normally didn't stock up but sometimes, snacking happened. She finished up her video, closing up the bag of snacks and off to put them away before stopping short and looking up at the ceiling due to noise from the room above her.

"What the hell..." She mutters to herself, ignoring it enough to put away her food before fixing her hair a bit to go see what was going on up there. She had heard the rumors that a large group moved into a couple of the rooms above her, though she didn't think they'd be that rowdy. Looks like I thought wrong, she thought to herself as she went to her front door, slipped on a pair of shoes that were easy to slip on, and went up to greet the neighbors, since she wasn't able to when they first moved in.

"I swear, if you two do NOT stop arguing, I will beat you!" Haruhi Fujioka threatened her twin companions, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. Her fists were clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms as her jaw clenched tightly.

"Oh, come on," her friend Kyouya Otori, sighed from the couch. "They do this all the time. It's best to just ignore them, Haruhi."

"Easy for you to say," Haruhi grumbled to herself, throwing herself onto the other side of the couch. She crossed her arms. "If they kill each other, it'll be in my apartment."

"Money can buy wonderful cleaning solution," Kyouya reminded. "It gets even the worst blood stains out of carpet."

Haruhi glanced over at him. "You know, you're right. If only I had money!"

Tamaki Suoh appeared behind them. "Kyouya, what are you upsetting my girlfriend for?" he asked before pecking Haruhi's cheek.

"He's helping me get away with murder the rich way, but then I'd get back into debt with him," she said, glaring at the bespectacled boy across the couch from her. "I'm not getting back into debt with any of you ever again."

The closer to the apartment door she got, the more she was starting to regret this decision. It's not too late to go back now. I could just ignore the yelling and go back to snacking and studying, she thought to herself, but as she snapped out of her thoughts, she saw she was outside of the room. ...Guess this puts a damper on things. She sighed at the thought, shaking it off as she turned to the door. She had to keep herself from just running back to her room.

She took in a breath before knocking on the door, a little harder than she thought she would. Then again, there was a lot of yelling in there so it wasn't all bad. She took a couple steps back to wait for someone to answer the door. There were quite a few people in there so as long as someone opened the door, it might just quiet them down…

Takashi Morinozuka heard a knock at the door and pointed to it.

His cousin, Mitsukuni Haninozuka nodded and ran to the door, giggling, bunny in hand. He threw open the door. "Hi there!" he squealed. "Are you our neighbor? Come on in!"

"Honey-senpai!" Haruhi called, hurrying over. "Don't just invite random people into my apartment without asking!" She looked up at Mira and blushed. "Uh, hi. I'm Haruhi Fujioka..."

Mira was surprised at who opened the door, her eyes widening a little more than they already were. Who-? No one mentioned they had a kid with them! She thought to herself, before looking at Haruhi with a small smile.

"I-It's alright... My name is Mira Coleman. It's nice to meet you," she said with a small smile, clearing her throat of the awkward stutter before going on with what she was saying.. "Um, I figured I would say hi, since I hadn't had a chance to properly introduce myself before," she stated, trying not to seem too awkward with her introduction. She wasn't good at this, anyone would be able to tell them. Though she was doing well, in comparison to other people she had the opportunity to introduce herself to.

Haruhi smiled warmly. "It's nice to meet you, Mira," she said.

Dammit! she thought. I'm so used to hosting! I don't have to do that here anymore!

Tamaki walked over and behind Haruhi. "Who is this lovely lady?"

"This is Mira," Haruhi said, gesturing to her. "She's our neighbor, Tamaki." She looked to Mira. "This is-"

"My name is Tamaki Suoh," he said, taking Mira's hand and kissing it. "I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, you lovely lady."

The twins were suddenly at the door, Hikaru leaning on Kaoru's shoulder. They peered at her curiously.

The dark-haired twin looked at her and smirked. "The name's Hikaru Hitachiin, and this is my brother Kaoru."

Mira smiles a little at this. "Same to you," she said, looking up at the others as they introduced themselves, a little more dramatic than she's willing to share with the general public. Especially the first. Though the second and third were pretty great, she wasn't going to lie. "U-Uh... It's nice to meet you all..." She stutters out, a small bit of blush on her face. Yeah, this was going to be fun. She hoped.

Mitsukuni wandered over. "Hello, my name is Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but you can just call me Honey-senpai!" he said, smiling. "Everyone else does! I'm the oldest here!" He raised his bunny up. "This is my bunny, Usa-chan!"

Mira looked down at him, smiling a little. "I-It's nice to meet you, Honey-senpai?" She tried it out, though it was a little weird to here. It was just weird to call someone senpai... Though was he really the oldest? "Oh, and Usa-chan as well," she had to add in, smiling lightly. It is pretty cute…

"Isn't she, though?" Honey asked. "And that's Takashi!" he cheerfully added, pointing to his cousin. "Everyone calls him Mori-senpai!"

Mira chuckles and nods a little, then looking... How did they fit a skyscraper in there? "H-Hello there," she stutters out, waving over to him. This is quite the array of people here, which surprised her.

"And then ignore the guy on the couch," Haruhi mumbled, "he's not that nice of a person."

"That's not nice," Tamaki pouted. "Kyouya is a great person."

Haruhi sighed. "The guy on the couch is Kyouya-senpai," she said, gesturing to him.

Mira raised a brow, waving over. "Hello there."

Kyouya rose from the couch. "I was unaware of us having a neighbor," he said. "Pleased to meet you. I am Kyouya Otori." He took her hand in his and bowed out of respect as he shook it.

Mira blushed a small bit at this, though smiled a little. He seemed pretty chill, though there was something else about him that seemed off. "It's very nice to meet you. I'm just downstairs, though I'm pretty quiet... For the most part, at least."

"Well you're welcome to join us anytime," Tamaki invited, smiling. "You are always welcome with us. We used to hang out with beautiful ladies such as yourself on a daily basis."

Mira raises a brow at this, nodding to his invitation either way. Should... Should I be flattered or...? She thought to herself, though shrugged it off. "Yeah, I'll definitely do so... And I'm just downstairs, so you're free to come and chat."

"Or you're free to come here," Hikaru offered, a devilish smirk on his face.

Mira looked at him, shuddering the slightest bit at this. "Alright, then... I'll keep that in mind," she said, and it wasn't a lie. Not like she'd shrug that off, or even have a chance to.

Kaoru peeked at her from behind his brother. "Would you like to join us tonight? We were just discussing what movie to watch."

"Discussing," Haruhi scoffed. "Right. I thought you and Hikaru were going to kill each other."

So that's what that was all about? Mira thought to herself in shock, though she tried to hide the fact that she was that shocked. "Um... Sure, if you guys don't mind having me. I don't mind either way."

"Come on in," Haruhi said, smiling. "It'd be nice to have another girl here."

"Oh, I can imagine," she chuckles a bit at this, though she was being serious. She felt bad as far as that went though she didn't really mind hanging around. That seemed nice enough at least.

"These guys used to make me crossdress and pretend to be a boy!" Haruhi sighed. "All to pay back a stupid debt that I owed them."

Mira's eyes widened a little as she heard this, getting inside and sliding off her shoes at the front door. "Really? That's... that's a story I wasn't expecting but I'll go along with it."

"These guys are kinda shady, but they're great people," Haruhi continued.

Mira nodded a little to what she said. "Glad I wasn't the only one who got that vibe, no offense."

"They're my six best friends," Haruhi honestly answered. "Even if they can be a bit much." She regarded Tamaki with her large, brown eyes. "Yes, I am referring to you, Tamaki."

Mira smiled a little at this, watching her with a small chuckle. They really did seem close, something that she was a bit jealous of. Can't do anything about it, though... she thought with a small shake of her head. "It happens. I know the feeling too well in all honesty."

Haruhi leaned in close to her. "Just never get into debt with any of them," she whispered. "You will regret it. Not that it won't make you a few friends along the way, but Kyouya-senpai never stops harping."

Mira nods a little, watching this. "Yeah... I'll keep that in mind for later on, then," she said, shuddering lightly. She didn't want to know what happened with that, though she made a mental note to ask farther down the line.

Haruhi groaned. "So did anyone decide on a movie?"

Hikaru saluted her. "Not exactly. Kaoru still would not agree with me!"

Haruhi groaned. "For fuck's sake..."

Mira smiles a little as she heard the progress on the movie. Yeah, she figured that was the case. At least they were quieter this time around, she thought to herself. "I-I'm fine with whatever, though. So whatever you guys want, I guess."

"What American movie would you suggest?" Kyouya asked, pushing his glasses to the bridge of his nose.

Mira hums a little as she thought about it, shrugging a bit. "Well... There are quite a few that I would recommend. Has anyone seen Perks of Being a Wallflower or otherwise?" she asked, looking at the others. She doubted it, as the American part of the question was highly emphasized, though it was still worth the question, she guessed.

"The Perks of Being a Wallflower?" Tamaki asked. "What's that about?"

"Well... How would I explain it..." Mira hummed to herself in thought. "It's about this boy in his first year of high school, and he suffers from depression and such. He's bullied and the like, though is able to find a group of friends that accept him for who he is. Then the normal high school drama, facing his depression and that sort of thing," she explained roughly as best as she could. "Sorry if that wasn't great, I'm not the best with explanations..."

"Sounds decent enough," Haruhi said. "I wouldn't mind watching that. Do you have it?"

"As long as you're sure. I can bring it up as long as everyone's alright with it," Mira offered with a light smile. Though she wasn't going to force it, she was pretty damn excited about that.

Kyouya looked at all of the others. "I think that sounds suitable. Go ahead and get it, Mira."

Mira nods a little at this. "Alright, I'll be right back then," she said before heading downstairs to grab it. This was definitely going to be an adventure…

Kyouya turned to Haruhi. "You don't mind not being the only girl anymore?" he asked. "You may not get as much attention anymore."

Haruhi put her hands up. "I am perfectly fine with that."
