My first crossover! I'm very excited about this one because I LUV the Elric brothers and the Hitachiin twins! :D And don't worry, the M rating is for a reason, but that won't come until later. Also, I am writing while I'm skipping class! I am SO busy lately -_- I apologize in advance if I don't update for a while...
Please review so I have the motivation to go on with the story. . . ^_^
"Rich people just piss me off."
"Now, brother, don't be so judgmental. You just have to give them a chance!"
"Yea, right. I can't wait until this year is over."
"But brother, we just got here!"
Profane mumbling was the only reply. The younger brother just sighed and continued people-watching with his older, and distinctly grumpier, counterpart. Alphonse Elric was a little taller, a little thinner, and a lot nicer, which showed on his brightly smiling face. Other students smiled back as they walked by, wondering who these new blond boys were. They attracted quite a bit of attention, but no one was brave enough to approach them just yet. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Edward Elric was glaring daggers in every direction and scowled at anyone who so much as glanced his way. He wasn't naturally untrustworthy, it just came from years' experience of people trying to kill him or use him. This new high-status lifestyle would definitely take some getting used to.
On the other side of the courtyard sat another set of brothers, who were watching the mysterious new transfer students from a safe distance.
"So Tamaki thinks we should recruit them for the Host Club?"
"Yeah. Don't you agree, brother? I think they would fit in perfectly. And of course Kyouya insisted that they join because of how many new clients they would attract."
"Hmm. . ." Hikaru gazed across the courtyard at the newcomers. "Well, they certainly are attractive. . .Though I notice they don't have uniforms yet. Oh no, you don't think they're scholarship students like Haruhi, do you?"
Kaoru laughed and shrugged his shoulders. "Should we let the boss take care of this one, then?"
This time it was Hikaru's turn to shrug.
After a few more minutes of watching the strangers Kaoru came to a decision. "I think we should handle this one, the Boss would just scare that short one away."
Hikaru nodded assent. "So where did they come from, anyway?"
"We're from Germany!" Alphonse grinned at the first brave girl who had stopped to talk to them. "We're finishing our senior year here at Ouran Academy while we begin a physics program at the University."
"Oh, wow! So you're taking college classes right now? You both must be geniuses!" The unwitting girl fawned over them in typical fangirl fashion. "So have you chosen whats clubs you'll participate in? Maybe the Science Club?"
"Well, we only just got here, so we haven't really thought about that yet," Alphonse admitted. "Honestly, we're always so focused on our studies that we rarely have time for anything else." He glanced at Ed, who was glaring off into the distance, pointedly ignoring the poor girl. "But I'm sure we'll find a club to join in the next couple of weeks," Al assured the girl.
"You should join the Host Club!" two mischievous voiced recited in unison. "Power, prestige, privilege, all can be yours with the Ouran High School Host Club. We'd love to have both of you as our newest members." The voices came from a pair of red-haired twins that Ed hadn't noticed before. They sounded friendly enough, but he thought he saw a glint of something suspicious in their eyes for a second.
"What's a Host Club?" Al asked innocently. Ed elbowed him in the side, violently protesting his brother's involvement with the snobby rich kids.
"What's a Host Club?" Kaoru asked, glancing at his twin. "Why don't you stop by today after school and find out?" he suggested with a smile.
"Just come to Music Room 3," Hikaru added. "We'll be expecting you."
And with that they sauntered off across the courtyard. Ed watched them go with a mixture of irritation and curiosity in his eyes. Those twins were so confident, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with their richness. And instead of being frivolous and haughty like the other students they'd encountered, these two were obviously intelligent and clever. In fact, they had seemed a little flirtatious in their invitation. Ed leaned forward and rested his chin on his hand, gazing thoughtfully after the twins. Maybe he and Al would stop by their Host Club after school, at least to just talk with the twins again, who seemed to be the most promising students at Ouran so far. Even if they didn't make any real friends here, and Ed didn't expect to, they were at least going to need some allies.
Suddenly one of the twins, the one that had smiled at Al, looked back over his shoulder at Ed as if to tease or taunt him. Ed's cheeks blushed a bright crimson, and he quickly looked away. Maybe he and Al would end up with friends as well as allies here at Ouran Academy. . .
