Kyoya Meets his Match! (an Ouran High School Host Club Fan Ficiton)
Melody was a new girl at Ouran Academy. Her dad's business caused them to move to Japan from the United States. She was quite nervous because she didn't know anyone. She felt like she stood out, the way she looked, talked, everything. But then she got there, everyone was so nice and fascinated by where she came from. The school is so beautiful. She thought. She made friends very quickly. At lunch Melody sat with three of her new friends: Mai, Lyila, and Yuka. The girls explained everything and everyone in Ouran Academy. A big topic: Boys.
"What's a host club?" Melody asked with a confused look. The rest of the girls just shrieked eagerly. "Oh my gosh, Melody you have to come with us!" Lyila said. Melody didn't really know how to respond. Her eyes looked so anxious that she just had to say yes. "Um…okay?" then the girls gave her vivid details about all the members of the host club. It was explained to Melody that the Ouran High School Host Club was a place where girls go to drool over really hot guys. Melody thought it sounded like a male strip club.
"We always sit with Tamaki," Lyila said
"Oh he has the dreamiest eyes!" Mai blushed as she closed her eyes, almost looking like she was going to faint. Lyila and Yuka just sighed and followed what Mai did. Melody was a little nervous, but she really was curious and wanted to check it out.
Melody, Lyila, Mai and Yuka all went to Music Room 3. Melody was very nervous as they sat down on a couch and was served tea. The room was flooded with girls who were also being served tea by some really hot guys. Interesting, Melody thought. Her thought was interrupted as a very handsome blonde boy came to her group. By the way the girls were drooling over this boy, Melody knew it was Tamaki. She could see why the girls all loved Tamaki, he was quite the charmer.
"Hello my princesses, you look as darling as ever. Oh how I missed my beauties. My heart yearned for you; never leave me my side again." Then Tamaki struck them a look with his gorgeous blue eyes, causing the girls to go wild. Yuka was even crying. Melody just sat there in awkwardly, watching the girls' reaction. Then Tamaki turned his attention to Melody. He looked down, his fringe covering his eyes. Then in one swift move, he had Melody in his arms, holding her face, his only a few inches away. Melody froze in shock.
"I'm so sorry my princess. Forgive me, I did not realize we had a new guest. When I saw you, your beauty stood out to me. I am Tamaki, welcome to the Host Club. I look forward to entertaining you. What is your name princess?"
Melody blushed, unable to say anything. She was a little frazzled by his charm and also she felt awkward by the fact that she was in the arms of a total stranger.
"That's Melody Knight!" Mai said, helping her friend out.
"Yeah it's her first day at Ouran Academy!" Lyila added
"She's from New York!" Yuka said
Tamaki's eyes widened. "Princess Melody. What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. And New York! How wonderful! I heard the national flower of New York…is the rose." Then Tamaki pulled out a rose out of nowhere and handed to Melody. She awkwardly took the rose and Tamaki smiled and then released her. "Thank you…"The girls were yelling and crying again at this point. When Tamaki turned around and continued on with something else, Melody leaned over and whispered to Lyila, "Is he for real?"
It was like talking to a post. "Sigh, isn't he the greatest?" her eyes were glued to Tamaki. Melody just rolled her eyes and gave up. Soon enough, Melody grew bored. She got tired of seeing all girls cling to this one guy. So, she told Mai that she was going to the bathroom and she would be right back. Then she got up and walked around.
Melody walked around aimlessly around Music Room 3. She passed another group of girls, but this time surrounding some orange-haired, crazy look alike twins. Those must be Hikaru and Kaoru. Melody knew who they were, but she just didn't know which one was which. Then Melody passed a little boy eating cake. How cute. That must be Honey. Isn't he a third year? Doesn't look like it. Melody thought. But next to that boy was a taller boy, he didn't say anything. Mori, another third year. Melody watched them curiously.
"Um, excuse me miss?" a unfamiliar voice said which startled Melody, causing her to jump back, almost knocking over a tea tray. "I am so sorry" Melody said
"That's quite alright. I just wanted to know you wanted some coffee." A boy with brown hair and big brown eyes said. He seemed friendly so Melody took a cup.
"You don't look like you're from here, are you new? I'm Haruihi by the way." Ah, Haruhi. He was Lyila, Mai and Yuka's second favorite host. "Yes, I am new. I just started today actually. I'm Melody, it's nice to meet you." She said.
"So where are you from?" Haruhi asked, sounding interested.
"Oh I'm from New York." Melody said with an awkward smile.
"Wow New York! Must have been quite a travel. Why such a far move out?" Melody explained her dad's company. "That's amazing! Well, are you liking Ouran Academy?" Haruhi asked. Melody hesitated to answer. She just looked down, and sighed. "It's…overwhelming." She looked up to see Haruhi with a confused look. Then Haruhi smiled at Melody. "Yeah I felt the same way when I first came here. Don't worry you get used to all the craziness." His words seemed to calm Melody a little. He was so easy to talk to. Melody nodded. "Yeah… just a lot to take in."
Then Tamaki called out for Haruhi. The brown haired boy rolled his eyes and turned to Melody. "I'm sorry I have to go talk to my sempi."
"Tamaki? Yeah I was just sitting with him with some of my friends. He is very…dramatic." Melody said. Haruhi just laughed. "Yeah he's the president of this host club. He was one of the people to create this club. He's very good at what he does." Tamaki yelled for Haruhi again. "Coming sempi, hold on!" Haruhi said, "I'm sorry. Nice talking to Melody. See you later." Then he was gone.
Melody continued to walk around. She set her now empty cup of coffee down on a table. Melody walked over to the window and stared out of it, looking into the sky. Then she turned around and saw another boy. The boy had raven colored hair and his eyes were hidden behind glasses that glared brightly. He was quite handsome. He was sitting at a table alone, typing away on his laptop. Melody wondered why he wasn't surrounded by any girls.
Kyoya sat down at a table with his laptop going over the club's finances as he did every week. He was usually than man to do so. Just another day at the Host club. With the same crazy girls and the same crazy acts the boys put on to entertain the girls. All for the money and business. Kyouya sighed and leaned back in his chair, removing his glasses. The very few moments in the day where he can take a break. Yes, the business of the Host club was very successful, just as he thought and expected. But while Kyouya controlled the whole business, he was also quite bored. Bored of the crazy girls, bored of the way they drool over their assigned host, and bored of everything. Kyouya shook it off and began to work on his laptop again. He mustn't over think things like this. It was then Kyouy looked over the top of his laptop and strangely saw a girl staring at him. It was Melody. Kyoya didn't know her so he thought she was just another guest of the host club. She seemed shy by the way she jumped back when he saw her.
"Um, hi." Melody said awkwardly. Kyoya said nothing, closed his laptop, got up and walked over to Melody. Since she was a guest, Kyoya had to show some manners. "Hello princess. Are you lost?"
Melody was surprised how handsome he was now that he was closer. "Oh I'm not lost. My friends and I were sitting with Tamaki, but I got bored so, I'm just looking around. Then I saw these crazy look alike twins and a little boy and some cake.-" Melody stopped herself because she was rambling. She giggled lightly and shook her head. "I'm sorry, I must be rambling." Kyoya watched her carefully. "No its quite alright. What can I do for you today?"
He is so polite. "Nothing really, like I said I was just walking around."
"Do you not like Tamaki because there are others you can sit with." Melody just shrugged and turned to the window again. Kyoya watched her carefully. "I don't know. I'm just not into the whole fake romance thing. I mean I've only been here for about twenty minutes and from what I see like a million girls come here to get swept off their feet, but probably none of them will have an actual relationship with them. Their "so called relationships" never pass that door." And I would hate seeing someone I love flirting with some other girl. So, what's the point?" Kyoya's eyes widened, but said nothing, causing an awkward silence come between them. When Melody saw Kyoya staring at her, she grew embarrassed and her cheeks grew red. "Oh! But who am I to say anything! That was so rude of me. I mean I don't even know anything about you and to be so open! I'm the one that doesn't belong here! I am so sorry. This place is really beautiful, really!-"
Kyoya put his hand up to stop her. "No it's quite alright. That was an interesting observation in its own way." Melody looked up at the raven haired boy and smiled. "Can I ask you something?"
Kyoya pushed up his glasses, causing them to glare. "Sure princess." Melody turned to look out the window. "All these guys are surrounded by girls, so why aren't you?" Kyoya thought about it for a second and pushed back his glasses. "Well I am the one who handles the business ends of this club. All the girls come here to get entertained by our members. There are different types: wild, strong and silent, natural, lolita, romantic, and the cool type."
"So this is all for money and fake romance?" Melody asked, raising her eyebrow.
"To an extent, but our top priority at our club is entertaining our guests. I have a guest every now and then, and every member loves serving our lovely guests like you princess." Kyoya said with a suave smile. Melody laughed and slightly nodded her head, as if she gets it. "Okay. I have one request." She met Kyouya's eyes.
"Don't call me princess." Melody said, turning her head, smiling at Kyoya. Her voice was stern, yet friendly. It kind of amused Kyoya. "Then what shall I call you?" he asked, playing along.
"Melody. Melody Knight" she said sticking out her hand for a handshake. Kyoya gazed at her. Slowly he took his hand out of his pocket, grabbed her hand gently, bought it up to his lips and placed a kiss on her fingers. "It was very nice meeting you, Melody. I am Kyoya Ootori." Melody blushed. So this is Kyoya. He is so charming. The girls told me he was intimidating but right now it doesn't seem so. –"
"Melody!" her thought was interrupted as Lyila called for her, running over to her. Embarrassed, Melody pulled her hand away from Kyoya and before her friend reached her, leaving Kyoya's hand empty."
"Melody where have you been? " Lyila asked. Then Lyila gave her a confused look when she saw Melody next to Kyoya. "Come on!" before Melody could even say something Lyila grabbed her arm and pulled her away. Melody looked back at Kyoya once more before, giving him a "I'm sorry" look. And then she was gone.
Kyoya's hand that was once filled with Melody's warm, soft touch was now empty. He turned his attention back to his book, but he couldn't get her off his mind. "Kyoya-sempi?" Haurhi walked over to the raven haired boy, deep in thought. "Are you okay?" Kyoya's eyes lowered and then his head shot up, staring off into the distance. Haruhi followed his gaze. "Haruhi, do you know anything about that girl?" he gestured toward Melody, who was now sitting with Tamaki again, with a bored expression.
"Huh? Melody? I just meet her. She's a transfer from New York."
Kyoya placed his thumb on his bottom lip "New York? Interesting."
