Haruhi tried to block out the noise of other students chatting as she searched the library. Her perfectly polished shoes brushed through much neglected carpet as she entered the 'boring' section of the library. This translated as the only section which wasn't occupied with gossiping girls looking for the newest vampire novel. All Haruhi had to do was find the right book then get to the host club. She took glee in the fact that this part of the library was mostly abandoned except the odd few, which meant she didn't have to shove by anyone to get to the book she needed.

After quick inspection she soon found the book she needed, its dark cover calling to her from between the many others. She saw the name 'Edgar Allan Poe' in beautiful calligraphy on the cover.

Her hand reached out to grip the inky black spine. At the very same time a slender, black finger-tipped hand appeared, stretching towards the book. Haruhi got to it first, her eyes slowly following the hand to its source. Nearly every finger was decorated with a ring. The hand was attached to rather slim arm, leading up to a striking face.

Haruhi froze slightly at the sight of him. His face was half-masked by layers of feathery black hair. But past it she could see his face was so pale it was almost translucent, which made his ashen blue eyes even more startling. His jaw sharp and slim. One thing that really caught her eye was the silvery gleam of two little studs under his bottom lip, one on each side. Haruhi remembered that people called them Snake Bite piercings. Appropriately named. His lips looked a rosy red against his almost-white complexion. The male Ouran uniform looked hugely out of place on him and he looked like the sort of person that would rather be wearing anything but a bright blue blazer.

He glanced at the book in her hands, his icy aura made her want to just drop the book and walk away. But his gaze held her there, half in fear and half in interest. His eyes thawed slightly, venturing upwards to look her in the eye. She watched as the corner of is lips twitched slightly, just for a moment, if she had blinked she would've missed it.

"Are you a Poe fan?" He asked with a voice like glass, cool and smooth, but with an edge that suggested one wrong move and you would be cut. His accent was different, British maybe?

"I hadn't heard of him until recently." Haruhi replied, managing to keep her voice normal and steady. "I have a book report on him."

"Lucky you." He said, completely sincere. "He's like an American Shakespeare, only better."

"Well I'll let you know if he starts to grow on me." Haruhi informed him, taking a step away from the dark stranger. He gave her a small nod as she walked away.

She didn't get far before she was met by a ginger-haired pair. But they weren't looking at her, but at the mysterious boy that was still lingering by the abandoned section of the library. They split apart, walking past on either side of her.

The boy had his back to them, unaware of their slightly stalker-ish approach. They were just a foot away before he turned to face them, his sweeping fridge covering one of his eyes as the other gave them a questioning glare. They simultaneously stopped in their tracks. There was moment of painful awkward silence before Kaoru said,

"Hi?"

"Hello." The boy replied sharply. "May I help you?"

"Yes." Said Hikaru, gaining back some of his confidence from the initial shock of the boy's stare. "We have a proposition for you."

"Have you heard of the…" Started Kaoru.

"Ouran host club!" The twins finished in harmony, their arms rose dramatically. The boy's eyebrows hiked up slightly. He crossed his arms, causing a clinking sound from the spiky bracelets he wore. The twins lowered their arms slowly. "We'll take that as a no."

Haruhi pushed through, attempting to save this train wreck. "Sorry about these two."

"The apology was unneeded, they did no harm." He said. "You seem nice, if a little…loud."

Haruhi gave him a smile. "That's them. I'm Haruhi and this is Hikaru." She said, pointing to the twin on her left. "And Kaoru." Pointing to the twin on her right.

"No guarantee I'll remember that." He replied, Haruhi could almost feel the icy wall he was putting between them, willing them to leave him alone. But the twins weren't giving up yet. Kaoru butted in, seizing his opportunity to keep the conversation going.

"And your name?"

"Andrew." He stated simply. The twins smiled at each other and in perfect unison they ran to his side, each hooking an arm over his neck. Haruhi could visibly see him take a calming breath as they leaned in closer.

"Andrew, we would like to offer you the chance to join Ouran's own Host Club!" Said Hikaru.

"No." Andrew replied, ducking out from under them.

"Why not?" Whined the twins.

"I don't want to." His voice was as sharp as a knife, cutting off whatever argument Hikaru and Koaru would've provided. Before they could annoy him any farther Haruhi gripped them by their collars and tugged them back to Music room #3.

Hello, thank you for reading.

I understand this is early into the story but I was wondering what sort of person you would like to see Andrew to be paired up with by the end of the story, (Because you know it has to be done.) I have three options in mind, either a pairing with another OC, or with Haruhi or make Andrew gay/bi and have a little Yaoi going on. I would normally just decide myself but I like all three options and I can't decide. Help!

Comment your ideas please.

Here are a few links to picture which match what my idea of what Andrew looks like
