The afternoon light shone through the corridors of a Japanese private high school. Most of the classrooms were closed and the hallways almost empty. Well, except for the band of 7 friends looking for Music Room Three, home of the Ouran High School Host Club. A girl with shoulder length chocolate brown hair and matching eyes huffed, looking at the room numbers again and biting her lip.
"Are you sure it…" Kira started asking
"Was number three?" Akira finished.
Both of them tossed one, long, reddish brown braid over her shoulder.
"Yes! He said it was three! I'm not deaf!" Hakura said, placing her hands on her hips.
Akita looked up at Hakura, pouting slightly, "Hey, that's not nice to say in front of Keiko, Haku! Say you're sorry!"
Hakura sweat dropped, patting the shorter girl's head and signing "sorry" with the other hand. Keiko couldn't have heard the comment because she was deaf, but Akita was insistent on making Hakura apologize. Meanwhile, Jeanette was complaining about her sore feet while Gabriel was muttering that they were right in front of the room and no one here had the common sense to look up. Hakura heard Gabriel's muttering and turned her head upward to look at the number on the door. Sure enough, it was the room they were looking for.
Hakura giggled, and then composed herself to politely knock on the door. Haruhi opened the door and a bunch of overused but still somehow fresh roses flew out, making Hakura sneeze, Akira squeal and try to catch them while her twin pushed them away. After the petals cleared, Haruhi stepped aside so her friends could come in. Hakura looked around and when she spotted Kyouya, she let out a soft giggle and threw herself into his arms while she was still slightly off balance. To prevent her from falling, the raven haired male caught Hakura and spun her in a small circle. All the while, he wore the tiniest smile. It was a mere twitching at the corner of his lips, but it was still a smile. Everyone just stared openmouthed while Hakura giggled again, burying her head between the crook of Kyouya's neck and shoulder. Kyouya rolled his eyes, running his fingers through her hair subtly. Finally, someone broke the heavy silence.
"Is something going on that we don't know about Kyouya-sempai?" Haruhi asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
Kyouya shook his head, looking to the remaining guests that were around Karou and Hikaru. He didn't want to tell their friends while the unwanted guests were still here. He gave Karou and Hikaru a look, telling them they had to dismiss their guests quietly. The girls left chattering and Hakura politely shut the door behind them, walking about over to Kyouya and clinging to his arm. As soon as the room was empty, the questions started.
"W-What was that?" Tamaki asked, blinking and staring at Kyouya and Hakura.
Haruhi sighed. Sometimes, she wondered why she picked Tamaki over Kyouya. They were both attractive, but Tamaki was kind of... (how could she put this nicely?) dumb. She sighed softly, putting her hand on Tamaki's shoulder.
"There's no need to have a heart attack, Tamaki. I'm sure they'll explain," she said evenly, not looking at Hakura or Kyouya.
"There's something different..." Karou started
"About those two..." Hikaru continued.
"What is it?" they both asked.
Hakura looked at Kyouya with pleading eyes. Kyouya shook his head, another tiny smile making its way onto his lips. Hakura couldn't wait to tell everyone. She was so happy and she could barely contain it. She looked at Kyouya, againg, who finally nodded in agreement. When the words that she uttered reached her friends ears, most fell over in shock.
"We're engaged," Hakura said, giggling she then gave her fiancé a kiss on the cheek.
Keiko and Akita were the first to recover.
"Yay Haku-chan is getting married." She started running around and caught Hunny's attention. Hunny himself was still in shock. Akita giggled and grabbed his hand making him run with her and cheer. Tamaki ran up to Kyouya and Hakura with tears streaming down his face,
"How could you keep this from us, Mommy? I thought you loved us?"
Kyouya shrugged while Hakura went to go drag Kyra, who was wrestling some rose petals, away before she got hurt.
"I never had a reason to tell you guys," he replied, adjusting his glasses
Tamaki gasped and ran to his emo corner to start sulking. Haruhi sighed and put on a smile for the rest of the girls (by this time Hunny and Akita had stopped running).
"Hello my name is Haruhi, the one in the corner is Tamaki. The twin on the right is Hikaru and on the left is Karou. The little 4th year is Mitsukuni Haninozuka you can call him Hunny, the tall silent one is Takashi Morinozuka or Mori, and you obviously know Kyouya ." Keiko frowned slightly. She tried to read Haruhi's lips but the other female was talking to fast, so she tapped her cousin on the shoulder and signed 'Repeat please?'.
Akita grinned and signed back, 'Haruhi brown hair girl, Karou left bang, Hikaru right bang, Tamaki tall blond, Hunny short blond, Mori tall short black hair, and Kyouya glasses.' Keiko's eyes widen in realization and she signed, 'So fiancé?'
All the girls nodded and Jeanette spoke up to introduce the girls, while signing "My name is Jeanette. The brunette is Hakura. Akira and Kira respectively and little senior is Akita and the tall ravenette is Keiko."
Kira turned to the hosts to say, "If you want to talk to her than either get anyone of us or talk nice, clear, and annunciate but do not over do it" the host club nodded.
Akita, bored of the introductions, pulled on Kyouya's pants leg, "Excuse me, but could you tell us the story of how you and Haku-chan got engaged?" Hunny gasped excitedly.
"Yea can we Kyo-chan?" Hakura asked.
Kyouya looked towards his fiancée, who reattached herself to his arm, then turned to the small seniors and nodded. The two cheered once again only to be picked up by their respective cousins. Mori feed Hunny a piece of cake and Keiko did the same and started to braid Akita's hair. Kyouya glanced at Hakura to see if she was ready; then began.
"We actually met when we were very little. It was kindergarten, actually. We were in the same class but we never noticed each other. That is, until someone started picking on Hakura. I forget who it was, but it doesn't really matter. I remember chasing them away and talking to her. She was surprised; she said it was because no one wanted to talk to her because she was too smart. But I was nice to her and kept asking if she was okay. When it was our last day, I told her something we'll never forget." Kyouya said, as Hakura signed, smiling softly.
"What did you say? What did you say?" the two pairs of twins asked all in eerie unison.
Hakura blushed, but continued to sign while Kyouya chuckled, stroking her hair, "I said that I would marry her one day."
Akita smiled widely, her eyes shining, "Awww! That's so cute~"
"Uwaa! Wait, does this mean that Kyouya-san will stop being part of the Host Club?" Hunny asked, frowning.
"Nah. He'll find a way to stay." Hikaru said.
"Yeah. We can't get rid of him THAT easily..." Karou continued.
Tamaki placed Haruhi on the chair he was sitting on and ran over to Kyouya, attempting to hug him. Kyouya, however, stepped aside, leaving Tamaki to fall on his face. Hakura gave Kyouya a reproachful look and helped Tamaki up. Fake tears streamed down Tamaki's face.
"Mommy, that was mean." he said, pouting. Kyouya just shrugged
"I never claimed I was a nice person." Kyouya replied.
Everyone with the exception of Tamaki and Kyouya laughed. Even Mori smiled and Keiko let out a silent laugh.
