Hello to all readers. I decided to bring out the next chapter a little earlier than I thought. Hope I got the ?-Chan and sempai parts right. And to clear something up. My OC is a BOY! He is of the male gender. I know it sounds like I'm talking down but I have had some people confused about the gender so that is the only way I can make it clear.

What could Haruhi mean? What am I about to do? Well, no matter what, I still have the rest of the afternoon classes to work it out.
My last class of the day was an elective. I chose Creative Writing. I sat down near the front of the class, relaxing since this was the only class of the day where I knew I wouldn't have to cope with those twins.
A hand touched my shoulder and I looked to see a smiling red-haired boy. "Hi Hikaru." I sighed.
He looked around. "Haruhi's not around. How did you know?"
I smiled. "I didn't. I just guessed."
Kaoru, as I initially knew who he was so I decided to play a game of my own, pouted. "You're not allowed to guess."
"Well, I did." I retorted. "Oh, and by the way." He looked at me. "Tell the real Hikaru to get out of my briefcase."
I turned around to catch a frozen Hikaru with his hand in my case, as I suspected. I smacked him on the head and he retreated. "Now, why are you here?"
"We decided to take Creative Writing this year." Kaoru told me.
'Great. That's all I need. I need some back-up.'
They took desks either side of me. I could not escape them. I looked at the chalkboard in front of me. At least it was written in English.
The teacher stood up from his desk. "Good afternoon class. For those of you who may new, my name is Nakaru-san." He walked to me and leant down and whispered to me. "For the record, it's best to call me Sensei when I'm the only teacher around." I raised my hand but he lowered it. "If you require my attention in front of another teacher, you will have to call me Nakaru-san."
I nodded. "Yes Sensei."
He smiled, showing his approval. I was already told this in my maths class and Haruhi helped me a little. Just enough so I wouldn't offend anyone.
"Ok class, I want you to write an essay about what you hope to achieve this year. And try to make it fill a page. And write it in English." The class moaned. "How else am I going to give you lot extra credit?"
I looked down at my paper. At least I'd ace the extra credit part. I decided to write that I hope to be able to speak Japanese so I could be a translator like I dreamed. Against my judgement, I also wrote that I hoped to be able to be myself and keep my friendships intact.
The bell rang and I looked at the clock. It was three o'clock. Hikaru and Kaoru quickly rushed away.
I assumed they were going to the music room they asked me to go to. The girls in the class began squealing and forcing each other out of the way. Eventually, they all left the classroom.
"What's with them?" I asked.
"Host Club." One of the boys passing by said.
'What's a Host Club?'
I looked at my map and found myself following the group of girls to the aforementioned abandoned music room. Or, supposed abandoned music room.
I heard various girls cries and my mind telling me to leave and just go to my rented apartment, but my curiosity was ruling me.
I looked at the door. It was just like the other doors; tall, white with golden handles. I slowly reached for the handle. Grabbing it, I took a quick look around. No-one was to be seen. I turned to the door and pushed down on the handle.
I closed my eyes as a flurry of rose petals came out. I heard various conversations being held. I looked around to see groups of girls around on luxury sofas, drinking tea of all things.
A tall figure approached me. He had dark hair, glasses and a black book. He seemed intimidating but I guess he had to be. "Can I help you?"
He took me off guard. "Sorry?"
"It's not often we get male customers." He told me.
"Customers?"
He seemed suspicious. "You come here and yet you don't know what this room is?"
Hikaru and Kaoru asked me to show up." I told the man.
He sighed. "I'll kill those two."
I looked behind him to see a small blonde-haired eating a large cake as if it was nothing. With him, was what whom I thought as a bodyguard.
"Welcome to the Host Club." The authoritarian figure bowed.
"What exactly is a Host Club?" I asked.
"Allow me to explain." A new voice said. I jumped as a blonde boy appeared out of nowhere. "We are a group of charming men who have too much time on their hands who choose to entertain women who have too much time on their hands. My name is Suoh Tamaki."
"So it's basically a way for you to promise girls things they know they'll never have?"
Tamaki froze. "Well, I would not have put worded it quite like that."
"But that's what it is." I said.
Tamaki suddenly walked to a corner of the room and curled up into a ball.
Everyone seemed to ignore him. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Just leave him. I'm Ootori Kyoya."
"I'm David…" I realised I was saying it the wrong way around. "Sorry, I'm Thouran David."
"Nice to meet you." he smiled a little. "Who would you like to see?"
"I'll be honest with you." Kyoya looked down at me. "I only came because of Hikaru and Kaoru. This is the first Host Club I've ever been to." Kyoya nodded. "So I suppose if I had a choice, I'd say your most sane host."
Kyoya nodded again. That's the only action I've seen him do. He looked at the floor. "Haruhi! You have a request."
'Haruhi is a member?!'
Sure enough, Haruhi walked to me. "David?" I made a weak smile. "Twins?"
I nodded and he showed me to a sofa and poured me a cup of tea. "So, just out of curiosity, why would you pick me?"
"I asked for the most sane member." I told him. Haruhi looked at Kyoya who nodded again. "Does Kyoya-sempai only nod?"
"Basically." Haruhi smiled.
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
Haruhi seemed to consider this. "Just word it carefully."
I leant closer. "You're awfully feminine. Are you…?"
Haruhi held up a hand and whispered. "Girl? Yes. Gay? No."
"So how did you end up as a host?" I took a sip of tea.
"I accidentally broke a vase and the only way to repay the debt was to become a host."
I heard a loud squeal from one corner. I looked over but all I saw was the girls. "What's going on over there?"
Haruhi seemed to struggle for words. "Everyone here uses their qualities to cater for the girls."
Haruhi pointed to the small blonde boy and the tall figure with him. "That's Honey-sempai and Mori-Sempai. Honey-sempai is the boy Lolita. He uses his cuteness. Mori-sempai is the hard on the outside but soft on the inside." She looked around and looked at a corner. "The guy in the corner is our boss, the founder, and the princely type."
"Tamaki-sempai is the prince who sulks in the corner?"
"Sometimes."
More squeals erupted. I stood up. "Just what are they screaming about?"
Haruhi grabbed my arm. "You're not ready."
I looked at her. "I'm just taking a look."
I walked to the screaming girls and caught a quick glimpse of orange hair. Hikaru, or Kaoru. I walked around until I could see what was going on. And Haruhi was right. I was so not ready. The twins were straddling each other! Holding each other's faces and curled up like a loved-up couple.
I must have fainted because the next thing I know, I'm lying on a sofa with a pink stuffed rabbit sat on my stomach. I put the rabbit on the table and sat up.
"Yay!" called a voice. "Dave-chan is awake!"
I only just looked up to see Honey run and quickly tackle me. In the moment I just couldn't do anything. I heard footsteps from all directions. "How do you get this kid off?"
"There's a piece of cake you haven't eaten." Haruhi's voice said.
He quickly jumped off me and ran about the room. I sat up again and saw Haruhi with a cup. "Here, drink this." I took a sip. It actually helped a little. "I told you that you weren't ready."
"What happened?"
"You fainted." Kyoya said.
"Please tell me I didn't see that." I rubbed my head.
"It's what they bring to the club." Haruhi inputted. "The forbidden brotherly love thing."
"Besides, we can all be honest." Hikaru said on my left.
"There's always a few people who fantasize about twins." Kaoru popped up on my right.
"Leave him alone." Tamaki said from in front.
"Out of the corner then?" I tried to joke.
"I got the cake!" Honey called from somewhere.
"What's with him and cake?" I asked.
"Sweet tooth." Kaoru said.
Tamaki knelt in front of me. "Are you alright now David?"
I nodded. "I think so."
Tamaki spun around, somehow scattering more rose petals. "Oh how marvellous. You are now perfectly alright and it's all thanks to my leadership."
I looked at him. "Yeah." I stretched. "But the tea helped a lot."
Tamaki just froze and dropped to the floor.
