A/N: Okay, this is part of my Opposites Attract series. The first one focuses on HoneyxOC, the second focuses on KyoyaxOC, and the last one is this one, which is MorixOC. They all cross each other but mainly focus on the characters that each story is set for. Originally, "Cakes and Smiles" (HoneyxOC) was published on Quizilla (but never finished). Now, I'm putting that story on here if you are into a HoneyxOC pairing. The one that focuses on KyoyaxOC is called, "Brains vs Brawns". I haven't finished any of the stories as of yet, so I'll be updating whenever I feel like it. For now, I give you the prologue. Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club or anything that does not belong to me. They should belong to their respectful owners. Spoilers: May or may not contain them.

Prologue

Takashi Morinozuka is the opposite of his cousin, Mitsukuni Haninozuka. He does not talk much or becomes easily excited like Mitsukuni does. He is not as curious like his cousin either. But even though they are strangely the opposite, they fit perfectly to each other's personality. It is only his cousin and only him that can make Takashi feel comfortable. But ever since Sakuno Horikita came into Mitsukuni's life, Takashi felt just a little lonely without his cousin on his shoulder, but Takashi was not one to voice out his feelings. It is only Mitsukuni who understood him. Mitsukuni being Mitsukuni, he always managed to make Takashi feel better and Sakuno as well didn't dare go between the two. But Takashi, being the gentle kind that he is, he had to make excuses so he wouldn't interfere with the lovebird's time.

"ShiShi?" A female's voice called out. Takashi froze in place.

"That voice," Takashi thought.

He slowly turned around to see an upbeat-looking girl almost the height of Mitsukuni except she was a bit taller than him. Takashi's eyes widened at the petite fragile girl before him and his mouth opened agape.

"Shishi! It really is you," the girl shouted before she ran and jumped on him.

Takashi automatically held her in place with his right arm around her waist and the left holding where the legs are bent to hold her in place. The girl smiled brightly at him, giving the same aura like Mitsukuni does whenever he smiled.

"E-Ella," Takashi stuttered. The girl nodded happily.

"I missed you, ShiShi," she said before she hugged him around the neck and started crying tears of joy. Takashi seemed rather surprised at the sudden move. The people that crossed the streets looked over at the couple. Takashi felt himself sweating at how the people looked at him. Usually, Takashi wouldn't mind the looks. But in this case, it was different. When nothing else seemed to happen with Takashi and Ella, the passers-by continued on their way. Ella let go from her hug and started sniffling.

"Ella, why are you here," he asked quietly but gentle was his voice.

"School. I'm attending Ouran Academy in three days. Mom and dad made me live here, but I'm glad to see you again, ShiShi," she told him, her tears wiped away by Mori. "Where's NiNi? What school are you going to?"

"Mitsukuni is busy. Ouran Academy," he answered both questions. Ella nodded but realized something.

"You're going to Ouran Academy too," Ella asked though she yelled it out loud, her eyes widened and mouth opened in surprise.

She then smiled and rejoiced happily in a loud manner. The passers-by looked at them strangely before Mori nodded in an apologetic manner towards them. Ella then got out of his hold and stood in front of him with a smile.

"That means I can always spend time with you like before," she said happily. Mori nodded yet he seemed not too happy about it.

"Well, I've got work to do. I'm supposed to help out a friend at her workplace," she explained, "See you soon, ShiShi!"

She waved at him before she disappeared with the crowd. When he could no longer see her, he let out a sigh and shook his head. It wasn't long before Mitsukuni jumped on his back which made Mori surprised and flinch. Mitsukuni noticed his unusual behavior and looked over at Mori with concern.

"What's wrong, Takashi," asked Mitsukuni.

"Nothing, Mitsukuni. We should get back home," Takashi said. Mitsukuni didn't seem at all surprised at Takashi speaking so much, but he was rather looking at his cousin closely, knowing Takashi is lying.

"You know you can tell me anything, right Takashi," Mitsukuni told him before Takashi froze a bit before nodding.

"I know, Mitsukuni," Mori said with a small smile before saying. "How was your date with Sakuno?"
