"The oddest thing happened at lunch today. A bright pink stuffed rabbit fell into my lap!" The girl talking was a transfer student from Lobelia Girls School named Hoshiko Yamada.(Her parents had pulled her out once they realised how terrible the school was.) She held the rabbit out for the other girls to see. "That looks just like Hunni-senpai's rabbit!" Exclaimed one. "This must be destiny for you two to be together." Hoshiko shook her head, making her cropped reddish hair dance on her head. She didn't know what the girls were talking about but she wanted no part of it.
She pushed herself from her desk and exited the room, nearly tripping over the too long cuffs of her jeans. Chess club could wait for another day. For now she would bring the rabbit to the lost and found. But just as she rounded a corner she heard crying and wailing coming from a certain music room. Being kind hearted she decided to investigate. But when she opened the door she was greeted with a strange sight. A group of gorgeous men stood before her (three of wich were hiding behind an expensive looking couch). The one who looked the oldest glanced up from his notebook and adjusted his glasses. "Uhm... hello?" Tried Hoshiko.
Kyouya P.O.V.
Kyouya's glasses glinted in the light as he turned toward the slowly opening door. He used his long fingers to push them up, clearing his vision. Unlike my mind, he thought. Hunny had been wailing incessantly and without relief all day. Apparently, Bun-Bun was missing. Hikaru and Kaoru had thought that they should offer a reward for finding Hunny-Sempai's bunny. Quickly, Kyouya had shot down that idea as it had little-to-no benefit for the club as a whole. They were so popular, that everyone would be searching the school regardless of a reward anyway.
Returning to reality, Kyouya glanced up from his Ledger, examining the person who stood before him. It looked like a thin boy was standing there, looking slightly shocked. "Uhm... hello?" Th boy said. Tamaki, already beginning to grow excited, stood and began to make a speech. Kyouya stuck out a hand in warning. "But Mommy..." said Tamaki. Kyouya just shook his head.
Kyouya walked slowly over to the boy, looking down at him and adjusting his glasses once more. "Why hello there," He said coolly. "Are you lost? Or are you here to visit the hosts? Although it's rare, it's not unheard of for one of your gender to visit us." He opened his book. "We only have three instances of this nature recorded. Snapping it shut with a thud, he made a motion for the boy to step in.
Hoshi's P.O.V.
Hoshi stepped forward and frowned slightly.
"I heard someone crying, is everything ok?" She asked looking past the man at Hunni. The blonde boy was on his knees crying and wailing about his bunny.
"Takashi! Where's my bunny!" He wailed.
The taller boy kneeling beside him gave a one word answer.
"Eating."
"What?"
"He wanted to eat with the pretty girls at tea time."
Hunni's cries stopped as he turned to Tamaki (the one who had accidentally dropped the oh so precious rabbit).
A pink ear was sticking out of Hoshi's bag as this was going on, she was putting two and two together slightly less quickly than she wished to be.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Kyouya straightened glancing back and forth between the commotion. He showed no sign of emotion, and noticed the Bunny's ears sticking out of the boys bag. Mori pointed it out and Kyouya stepped towards the newcomer. "Thank you for finding Hunni-Sempai's precious article. Your name is...?" He trailed off pointedly. He had stepped so close that Kyouya could have easily reached around and taken the bunny. He found himself feeling something strange at being so close to this boy. He wasn't sure what it was, so he ignored it.
Hoshi's P.O.V.
Hoshi looked confused for a second, but then beamed.
"So that's Hunni-sempai! I see now." She quickly pulled off her back pack and unzipped the top to reveal the precious item. Hunni's cries stopped instantly and he bounded over to take the stuffed rabbit with a great big grin on his face.
She straightened and smiled at Kyouya. "My name's Hoshi Yamada. Its nice to meet you, senpai." She gave a slight informal bow and zipped up her bag.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Hoshi Yamada. Huh. That was the name of the transfer student. He couldn't recall where Hoshi had been from, just that he was a transfer. Kyouya flipped open his book, scanning the pages. He couldn't believe it. He had no information on Hoshi at all. This was not acceptable. He would just have to get closer to him to find out more. He closed his binder.
Kyouya took Hoshi's arm, intending to lead her over to a couch. The second the two boys touched, an almost electric shock traveled up Kyouya's arm. he ignored it, his face staying cool. "Would you like to come sit for a while?" He asked.
Hoshi's P.O.V.
Hoshi went rigid and stared up at the boy. "Oh! No I have to get back to the club room."
Hunni was suddenly hugging her leg and squealing.
"Hooooooshi-sama! Please stay here and play with us!"
She frowned slightly and shrugged.
"But the chess club..."
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Kyouya waved his hand as if to dismiss chess club. "Arrangments can be made. Came, and be our guest." He steered the boy named Hoshi over to the couch. Kyouya sat across from him. HE had a strange feeling in his stomach, he absent-mindedly observed. He felt a strange attraction to this boy. He hoped he wasn't gay, he thought, in a detached, objective kind of way.
Hoshi's P.O.V
Hoshi allowed the man to lead her over to the expensive looking couch that the three had previously been cowering behind. Two boys, slightly younger than herself, stood before the two with devilish grins on their faces.
"I'm Hikaru."
"And I'm Kaoru."
They kept throwing each other obviously fake loving glances and Hoshi rolled her eyes.
"Hello. Nice to meet you, Hittachin-san, and Hittachin-san." She said it more out of politeness than actual pleasure.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Hoshi rolled her eyes at the twins. Kyouya wondered if Hoshi was interested in any of the club members. He may have just come to give Hunni his bunny, but still. Maybe this was a good business opportunity.
"Do you prefer any of our hosts? We have the princely type, the forbidden brotherly love type, the boy lolita type, the tall and quiet type, and the cool type." He motioned around the room in turn.
Hoshi's P.O.V
Hoshi sweat dropped and shook her head.
"This is all very nice, Kyouya-sempai, but I'm not interested in anything like that. I just want to-"
"Sit and enjoy the tea? Good choice Tenju-sama." Cried the twins in unison, making her sit at a huge table full of sweets.
She sweatdropped again.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Hmm. Kyouya couldn't quite figure this boy out. Was he homosexual? He didn't seem interested in any of them, but still. It was hard to tell. He coolly assessed Hoshi's movements and actions, trying to decide what kind of a person he was. How could the important information be extracted? He got up, walking over to the table that he was now seated at, studying him.
Hoshi's P.O.V
Hoshi sat rigidly, but politely as one of the twins poured tea into a tiny cup. Hoshi accepted it with a smile.
Tamaki joined the four at the table and took Hoshi's hand in his. He said something about being a slave to her beauty and then planted a kiss on her hands. She found herself blushing and slowly slipped her hand away to rest it on her lap.
"Why, Yamada-san! Your skin is so smooth! What products do you use?" Asked the flirtatious blonde.
"Milk soap and shea butter lotion. I have very dry skin." She said with a slight blush and a slight embarrassed slump of her shoulders. She glanced at Kyouya briefly and then back to Tamaki.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Hoshi was unashamedly flirting with everyone. He didn't seem to be interested in the hosts or the girls. Bi, maybe? Kyouya's glasses flashed as he thought. Kyouya could usually easily figure simple or complex matter like these out quickly. He then analyzed, in an almost detached way, that he was attracted to Hoshi. Ahh well. He shoved the thought away. Hoshi glanced at Kyouya.
Kyouya's face hinted at a smile as he said "Yamada-kun, would you like me to escort you to chess club?"
Hoshi's P.O.V
Hoshi looked surprised at him. As did the other hosts. Tamaki frowned and placed a hand to his head in annoyance.
"Kyouya-senpai..." She gave a bright smile.
"What about your own club duties, Senpai?"
"Yes, Mother! You must help Daddy take care of the children!" Squealed Tamaki.
The twins smacked him squarely upside the head.
Hoshi kept her gaze trained on Kyouya.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Tamaki insisted on calling Kyouya "mommy" again. He sighed, standing. " Don't worry, daddy. It wont take mommy long." he said with a cool tone. He offered his hand to Hoshi, helping him up out of the expensive couch he sat on.
Hoshi's P.O.V
Once they were outside of the club room Hoshi giggled. "Mommy? What's with the cute nicknames? I didn't think you two were like that." She stated.
She had a sneaking suspicion that she had a slight crush on this older boy, but she brushed it off as hormones.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Kyouya walked out of the room, Hoshi trailing behind him. He giggled in a surprisingly girlish way. It reinforced the single thought in Kyouya's mind. Gay. Well, maybe not the only thought. There was the rising worry that Kyouya himself was gay, as he now realized he had an undeniable attraction to Hoshi. He smiled, bemused. "We aren't. It's just some ridiculous thing Tamaki has insisted upon, as usual." He decided to try an experiment.
Kyouya turned suddenly, trapping Hoshi against the wall. He was leaning on his arm, which was placed on the wall over Hoshi's shoulder. "I have to know. What exactly is it you seek to find?" His face was very close to Hoshi's, and he could feel the heat coming off of the boy.
Hoshi's P.O.V
Hoshi was stunned. Suddenly he seemed like a different person. She ran a hand through her hair, trying to hide her growing embarrassment. "What do you mean? I just wanted to return the bunny..."
She found herself wanting to touch his face, but she remained where she was.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Kyouya smirked, looking above Hoshi's head at the wall, not really seeing anything. He realized know that he was so close that he was strongly physically attracted to this boy. What was wrong with him? He had never felt this way before. Kyouya viewed the scene disinterestedly in his mind. He was acting almost opposite of his normal personality, but he didn't care. "If you don't understand, then nevermind." He breathed in and was surprised to find that Hoshi smelled like a girl. He moved his face closer, not even noticing how strange it must appear to this boy.
Hoshi's P.O.V
Hoshi began to panic. He was getting really close! She could feel his breath on her face. In a panic she pushed off of the wall in an attempt to get away. Her lips met his and her eyes grew wide. After a second she pulled away and slipped out from his reach. She scooped her bag up off of the floor and retreated a few paces.
She was blushing bright red and she brought a hand to her lips. "I-I..."
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Kyouya was extremely surprised when Hoshi leaned forward and kissed him. Kyouya was so surprised, that he lost his guard and he felt his mouth soften. The boy quickly pulled away, grabbing his bag, and retreating a few paces. Kyouya straightened up, turning around. Hoshi blushed, and the only thing Kyouya could think, was, Is this what they call 'shota'? Hoshi was adorable, and Kyouya could feel his cold resolve slipping away. "Well, I must admit." Said Kyouya. "That was quite a surprise"
Hoshi's P.O.V
She felt the warm sting of tears come to her eyes and quickly wiped them away. "I-I'm sorry, senpai. I..." She closed her hand into a fist and gave a slight bow.
She took another few steps away and waited to see if he had anything to say.
Kyouya's P.O.V.
Kyouya was surprised again when Hoshi began to cry and apologize. He felt his stomach lurch. Was this his fault? He thought about it. No, it wasn't, but he didn't assume that he wasn't adding to the drama. He stepped up to Hoshi, smiling and taking Hoshi's chin in his hand. "Here," he said, using his tongue too catch the tears on her face. "Now we are even." He smirked at his boldness, knowing that what he did was decidedly uncalled for. He took a step back now. "I will see you later, Yamada-kun." He smiled and began to turn away.
Hoshi's P.O.V
Hoshi wasted no time in getting out of the building. Ashamed and embarrassed she barely made any eye contact with the other students who were still there.
