So I got the idea for this story a few months ago. I was at Starbucks with my family and we were just talking when I mentioned to my brother, "What if the Host Club was here?" We both agreed that they would go crazy over "commoners coffee", we thought they would just love it there. So then I was like, "I gotta make that into a story!" and came up with this. So I hope you guys enjoy!


Tamaki woke to sunlight drifting into his room. More sleep would have been nice but he just had to go to school. He got out of bed only to be interrupted by a loud ring.

It was Hikaru calling. He could only imagine what those little devils could possibly want.

"Hello," ,Tamaki moaned into the phone.

"What's up, boss? Kaoru and I are really bored and were wondering if you'd like to go out and do something with us?" ,Hikaru said.

He felt himself pulling off a look of confusion. "You idiots do realize that we'll get in trouble if we ditch school, right?"

"What are you talking about?" ,Kaoru faintly called out. "Today's Sunday."

Realization rushed through him as he smacked his hand onto his face. He had forgotten, yet again, that it was Sunday. 'I need a calendar hanging from my ceiling or something. Geeze...'

"Right, it's Sunday, my bad. So what do you guys want to do?" ,Tamaki finally said back.

"We don't know. That's why we called you. You should see what Haruhi's doing and then call us back.",Hikaru mentioned.

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit then." ,He said.

"Okay, bye." ,Hikaru said, then hung up.

Afterwards, Tamaki called Haruhi's cell phone, the one the twins gave her, but had no luck reaching her the first time. So he tried calling her again right away, but there was no answer. he tried again, and again, and again, over and over, his heart stopping for a moment every time. He never got a reply. After trying to call her at least fifteen times, he just knew she was in trouble.

His eyes shot open. Finally fully awake, he called Hikaru back and reached him by the second ring.

"Hello," ,Hikaru answered.

"SHE'S MISSING!" ,Tamaki yelled back.

There was a short pause. "What do you mean she's missing?" ,Kaoru cried with worry detected into his voice.

"I've called her dozens of times and she's not answering! Something terrible has probably happened to her! She must have been kidnapped by thugs, drugged to death, and then sold into slavery! WE MUST SAVE HER!"

"Calm down, boss. You're being overly dramatic. That probably didn't happen." ,Hikaru explained.

Tamaki was about to break into another worried rant just when Kaoru spoke up. "Wait a sec, now I remember. She mentioned to Kyoya-Sempai that she found a weekend job."

They found that believable because she is always working even at home or when cleaning the clubroom. It made sense to them that she'd get a job but they were upset that she only told Kyoya about it but not them.

"How'd you find that out?" ,Hikaru asked his brother.

"I overheard Haruhi and Kyoya-Sempai talking about it. Apparently she's working at a commoners coffee shop." ,Kaoru said.

"A what?!" ,Tamaki said in excitement. "Well, we have to go then! Come on, we'll surprise Haruhi!"

The twins gave a devious smile in unison. "Good idea, boss! We should get the others!"

"Okay! You guys go get Honey-Sempai and Mori-Sempai and I'll go get Kyoya!"

"On it!" Hikaru hung up and Tamaki got dressed quickly and made his may to Kyoya's house. But dreading the Shadow King's reaction when he had to be woken up.

"Hey, Haruhi, do you need help with that? This machine can be pretty hard to handle." ,one of the workers named Marie said.

She shook her head. "I think I can manage it." Haruhi pushed one of the buttons on the machine and hot liquid came out of it and into the cup.

"Well, it looks like you're doing fine so I'll leave you to it." ,Marie said to her.

"Okay, thanks." She finished pouring the coffee into the cup and went on topping it with whipped cream and then delivering it to the customer.

This was indeed her ideal place of work. She had wished for a long time that she could work at Starbucks and really, the experience was everything she had imagined it to be. It was an easy place to work at. The coffee and refreshments were easy to make. The place was quiet and simple. Most customers come just to have coffee while studying so it's never completely loud inside. And she enjoyed that.

She was glad she didn't tell the guys of her job plans except for Kyoya. She would of told them but she knew they would want to hang out with her while at work. After what happened in Karuizawa, she couldn't afford for them to be a distraction and she didn't want to go through all that ruckus all over again. So she kept this to herself and was fine with that.

She welcomed each customer that entered the shop. The bell on the door chimed, signaling that another customer had walked in.

"Good afternoon, wel-" She stopped once her eyes fell upon the crowd of customers. In the lead was a blonde boy and five more guys she clearly recognized. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

Tamaki threw his arms up in the air. "COMMONERS COFFEE SHOP!"

"WOHOOO!" The twins cheered.

All the quiet customers were now staring at them in alarm. Tamaki took the time to reassure them. "Fear not, dear commoners. We are just here to examine the ways of commoners coffee shops."

Haruhi sunk to the floor and hid under the counter. She just wanted to crawl into a deep whole and not come out.


Okay! Tell me what you guys think! I'll have a new chapter up soon!
