Men in Suits

Haruka's POV:

Ever since I released my very first composed song, I have been getting calls non-stop from famous companies who wanted to hire me. Apparently, they took a liking to the music I make.

I took various jobs around the world, each time visiting a new place I have never seen before. They pay for my visits so that I wouldn't have to worry about it and concentrate on making music. It was all a new and exciting experience for me.

People now call me the "Shooting Prodigy" since I am the youngest composer who has ever reached the high point in music making.

As you can see, I'm still getting used to being famous. The academy that I attended wasn't the best start for me. I didn't make any friends there and every day, focused on improving my scores and one day that all paid off when I got a phone call from one of the most prestigious music company asking me to work for them.

I was surprised at the time but now I believe I can make music for everyone to enjoy.

The place that I am currently staying in is the Nanami Mansion. I don't have to travel often anymore and stay nice and comfy in the mansion. I live alone at the moment and the agency is working on getting me some helpers.

This will be my first time being served by anyone, I just hope that I can keep my composure and make friends with them.

I continued to stare out the window, anxiously waiting for the arrival of my helpers. I avoided using the word "servant" because it just makes them sound like slaves coming at my every command.

My fingers drummed the glass table, making a high-pitched ring. It's my habit every time I get nervous.

It was my first day meeting these people so I was well prepared and dressed for the occasion. I wore a cream-colored strapless dress that went up to my knees, white heels and a pink bow for my hair.

I know. It doesn't sound like I put much effort to in it, but I wanted to make my first impression a good one, so that they don't mistake me for an overly fancy woman who cares for no one but herself.

I chuckled as I remembered some of the classmates I used to have would do that to attract attention, but ended up more than they had bargained for when they would make a fool of themselves.

The sound of a door shutting brought me back to reality as I eagerly glanced out the window, a black limousine parked outside of the gates. My eyes lit up with excitement. "They're here!"

I stood up and pushed my chair in. Jogging in heels wasn't my first intention, but I ignored the pain as I raced down the double staircases that lead to the front door.

It automatically creaked opened and I smiled as I went up to the gates.

I noticed seven well dressed men standing in a row at the gates, each holding a differently wrapped gift. My driver; Hyuga Ryuya-san tipped his hat at me. "Nanami-sama, I have brought your new butlers who will also stay at this estate with you."

They were going to stay with me? Seven men under the same roof as me? The thought of that made my heart flutter.

"O-okay, wh-why don't you all introduce your-yourselves." Great, all these men are making me stutter and acting like a complete fool. They're probably thinking that they should disable their contracts.

"Ittoki Otoya here!" The man with the red hair stood forward and did a quick friendly bow. "I look forward to serving you, Nanami-sama!"

I nodded and laughed nervously. "I look forward to it too." He seems nice enough. Very energetic by the looks of it.

He walked up to me and handed me an expensive little box. "Th-this is for you!" He stuttered out.

My eyes widened as I accepted the gift. So he was also nervous, good, I'm not the only one with a heart that is doing leaps in my chest.

"Thank you, Ittoki-kun." My hand found the lid and I slowly picked it up. A small gasp left my lips. Sitting in the box, was a thin head band speckled with small diamonds.

He nervously scratched his head. "I-I didn't know what girls would like. But I did my best!"

I looked up at him, my eyes glittering. "It's beautiful! I love wearing headbands!"

Ittoki looked surprised at first, but then blushed and stared at the ground. "I-I'm glad you like it!" His turn was over and he stepped back in line.

I handed Ittoki's gift over to Hyuga-san, who accepted it gracefully.

The next man had a serious expression on his face, which gave me the impression that he took his job seriously. "I'm Ichinose Tokiya."

I nodded slowly to him. Gosh, he's looking at me with those eyes; I don't know what to say! "U-Umm-"

He handed me his gift; which was a big bouquet of roses. I accepted it, but on that moment, our hands lightly brushed one another, and I felt my face beginning to turn red. "Th-thank you for the roses! They smell lovely." Kind of like you too.

Tokiya's eyes softened and nodded, stepping back into the line.

Once again, I handed the roses to my driver.

I looked back at the men and saw the next one step forward.

He seems like the shortest one there. "I'm Kurusu Syo, pleased to meet you." He wore the same suit as everyone else, but added in his own personal touch by wearing a black hat with bobby pins in his hair.

Syo seems like he's about my age and that eased the nerves that was making me nervous. "Pleased to meet you too, Kurusu-kun!"

He blushed at that statement and looked away, his cheeks glowing pink. "You… you can call me Syo, if you want."

My eyes widened in surprise but I didn't want to disappoint him. "Th-then, Syo-kun…"

I heard oohs and chuckles from the line behind Syo and that made me blush hard.

"This is for you." He gave me a glass key chain in the shape of a music note with a small heart attached to it.

"Uwah! This is really cute! Thank you, Syo-kun!" I held gift in my hands, admiring how pretty it looks.

He scratched his head and laughed nervously. "You're welcome."

I gave the gift to Hyuga-san and continued on.

"Shinomiya Natsuki, at your service!" The next man went up to me and gave me big hug. "Wow! You look even cuter in person!"

My face heated up. "N-nice to meet you too, Shinomiya-san!" I managed to choke out.

He suddenly released me. "Sorry, didn't mean to squish you there! But here you go!" Natsuki brought out a small plush toy of Piyo, the new popular toys brand that was beating all the cute things out there.

"Ahh! I've always wanted one!" I rubbed the doll against my cheek, feeling how soft it was. "Thank you, Shinomiya-san!"

His face lit up with delight. "No, thank you!" With that said, he stepped back in line.

And once again, I handed the plush to my driver.

"I'm Hijirikawa Masato; I look forward to serving you." He bowed politely.

I bowed back to him. "Nice to meet you, Hijirikawa-san." My first impression of him was that he was very polite and probably has good manner skills.

He placed a long box in my hand and I looked curiously at it. "I wonder what's inside…" I lifted the box and there sat two silver pins, with a butterfly attached to it.

"Beautiful…" I whispered. Masato coughed and looked away shyly. "I'm glad… you liked it."

I nodded to him and he stepped back in line. I closed the box and handed them to Hyuga-san.

The next man stepped forward and bowed to me. "Jinguji Ren. I hope we get to spend time together, my lady."

Blushing must be my thing today because once again, my face grew hot. "Y-ya…"

He smiled at me. "Can you come a little closer?"

I tilted my head to one side. "Uh… s-sure." My feet moved forward and I saw his arms wrap around my head.

I felt the beating of my heart beat faster. The other men frowned as he then pulled away.

Resting on my chest was a diamond heart necklace, sparkling in all its glory. I gently rested my fingers on it. "This is… beautiful…" I looked up at Ren. "Thank you."

He smiled again. "Anything, for my lady."

Ren stepped back in line and then the last man stepped forward.

"I'm Aijima Cecil. I had no idea that you looked this… beautiful." He grabbed my hand and brought it up to his lips.

My eyes widened. "Wha-what?!"

A playful look was seen in his eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel… uncomfortable."

I glanced behind him and saw the other men. I could feel the steam that was coming from them.

"U-umm, its fine… I think…"

He released my hand and pulled out a small pink flower. "This… is for you."

I accepted the flower. "Thank you."

Cecil smiled at me and stepped back in line.

"Nanami-sama, there are more butlers who are coming to serve you, but they won't be arriving until about next week." Hyuga-san told me.

I stiffened and stared at him. More are coming?! Will I be able to take it?! Ahh, this is almost sounding like a reverse harem!

Hyuga stared at the men. "Your rooms are on the bottom floor, each of you have your own with your name plate on it. Well I look forward to working with each and every one of you."

The men looked at each other and then made their way into the mansion, some stopping to smile at me or saying a quick greeting.

I however, stood there gawking at the ground. "Is this the start of something memorable? Or another drama?"

I sighed as Hyuga walked past me, holding the load of gifts. "It's not healthy to stay out for long." I glanced at him. "I won't stay long."

He nodded and went inside. I turned around and stared at the mansion. "My new life with these men…" I chuckled to myself, "I wonder how everything will turn out..."

This chapter was only the introduction of the characters (even thought most of you already know who they are). Each chapter is a different butler with some interaction with others. Criticism is available for me to make my story better.

As you all know, I deleted my other story: Silent Heartbeat, because I thought that it wasn't going anywhere concerning the plot, so I'm sorry if that upset any of guys. T_T But I hope that this story will entertain you guys just as good!
