AN: Noblemen's Host club chapter 2! I have a little surprise for you guys at the end of this chapter so keep reading! Please pardon any misspellings and or grammatical errors. I will be using some reference from Les Yeux Revolver by NotreDame. It's in French just so you know.
disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji or the concept of a high school host club. If you dont know that's from Ouran High School Host Club.
Maylene walked groggily and with dismay and surprisingly not lost, to the abandoned dance room. She had bags under his eye's that were visibly under her glasses since Sebastion has yet to give her her contacts. The train has barely been invented and they come up with contact? Next thing you know they'll discover signs of life on Mars she thought. She stopped in front of the massive door and looked up with wary eye's at the thing, cursing it for the people that lay inside. Slowly she opened the door and poked her head inside and walked in ignoring the shower of white rose petals.
"Seems our protégé has just walked in" said Sebastian
"Dont call him a protégé just yet" cut in Ciel. He snapped his fingers and immediately Sebastion walked up to her and presented her with eye contacts thin as it can get.
"This is supposed to help me?" she asked skeptically. She stared at the little thing that lay on the pad on her finger
"Just put it on and no complaints" ordered Ciel, Maylene couldnt help but think it sounded so...ironic...I guess you can say. Maylene sighed in defeat and took off her glasses and put the contacts in place. She blinked a couple of times and then, in disbelief, rubbed the rim of her eye's trying to feel for her glasses.
"How!" she exclaimed trying to decipher what was happening
"As I told you before; please do not underestimate me" he told her
∑(º_º) - haha lol sorry I dont usually leave stupid little things like that. Plus it matches her reaction
"Quite the difference it made" said Joker putting a his hand to his chin in a thinking matter
"Agreed, she has really distinct eye's" said Drocell putting a hand to her cheek. Maylene felt a large hand place itself on her shoulder
"Wow ! Our clients might tell your a girl at first glance!" Bard exclaimed. Maylene made a little "hmm?" and turned her head to look a him but Finny was already waving his hands and shaking his head in a vigorous "that's not true!" statement.
"Relax Finny, I already new" he told him holding both hands up. Finny looked shocked and confused so Bard continued with an explanation.
"I figured out around the time Jocker and Drocell found out" Finny seemed to take that as an answer and relaxed even though it didnt really answer him at all.
"Enough with this nonsense we're running out of time" said Ciel. The boys nodded and disappeared. Maylene soon found herself in the school uniform; dark blue jacket with a plaid tarnish gold on the collar and the ends on the sleeved folded up leaving the same pattern to show. Under that was a regular shirt with a plain white collar and the same dark blue colored tie. Ciel and Finny wore thin, whimsical bows though. She wore black pants and expensive looking shoes. Ciel and Finny wore dark green plaid shorts. In truth she looked very handsome.
"Is it really alright for you to just give it to me?" she asked
"Oh we're not giving to you" said Joker
"Think of it as a loan, it gets added on to your debt" finished Drocell. Before Maylene could react Bard dragged her over to the next table where Elizabeth was sitting drinking a cup of tea.
"Oh well dont you look dashing" she said smiling putting her tea down.
"Uhh...thank you" she said not sure what to say
"Well dont be shy! Sit sit" she put a hand in the direction of the chair in front of her. Maylene took the seat awkwardly and avoided making eye contact. Elizabeth smiled and decided to make it easy for the poor "guy" and start the conversation.
"So, Maylene, how do you like it here"
"Oh! Uh...well everyone's been nice I suppose..." she trailed off
"Mmhmm, mmhmm, do you have any hobbies?" she asked
"Well yeah acually...umm...I like to sneak out into the forest and just think" she told her
"Really? You must be very deep. Are you joining any other extra-cariculum activites?" she asked, her head was resting on the hands.
"Um...no I really dont have time..."she muttered. I just have to entertain her for a small amount of time right? If that's the case, then I know just the story.
"You see...when I was little, I had two brothers. They used to take me to the annual Carneval that would be held in my part of London. Was it safe, in my perspective back then, yeah, to others here now, no. One day my bothers let me go to the shooting range with them betting that if I were to beat their best score I would get a portion of their meals for a week. Of course the booth tender let me do it, he was even laughing along, but when I got to fifteen fake wooden birds flung in the air they werent laughing anymore. They stared at me. In awe I like to think. My brother's took me away and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before telling me I did a good job and that it was well worth the meal. Of course I didnt plan on excepting them, I loved them too much. But I never got a chance to deny the food, a man in a black trench coat stuck out a white gloved hand out to me and told me to come with him..." she paused. I probably shouldnt tell her the whole truth...
"It turned out that my family...they...they got a good paying job somewhere far away and that my brother's were to come with them and that I was to stay here to look after the house. It wasnt proper for a child to live alone so...I found I guess you can say, a person to look after me, and he still does. His names Grell, he's the one who got me into this school" but left me with a huge debt to pay!
"Really?" she asked curious. On the inside Maylene smirked with relief that she's entertained.
"Yeah, it's hard from time to time, living with someone I dont know and didnt really trust. At first I thought he was trying to take my dads place, I absolutely hated him..." her voice drifted, with honest remembrance. Elizabeth sat there, intent and eye's showing signs of sadness, remorse even.
"But that was back then" she reassured her with a dazzling smile that made her blush. "The more we had to stick together the closer we got. I really began to trust him when I was coming back from...a small job when I was fourteen. A strange man came up to and put his lips next to my ear and whispered something about staying with him for a night or two. I didnt get a chance to shiver from the feeling of his breathe on my ear, I was busy trying to cover up the smell of whiskey and bur-bin on his breathe" Elizabeth gasped and pleaded for her to continue with her green eye's.
"Luckily Grell was there and took the position of a fatherly being and knocked him away with so much anger that I fell to the ground on my behind staring through my bangs in shock. It was then when I started trusting him as a kind of father though he liked to take a much more motherly role" she finished with an honest chuckle. Elizabeth's eye's went wide in awe and softened into a soft smile followed by a gentle tucking behind her eyelids. Finny and Bard were crying rivers behind a sofa as well as Druitt. Joker and Drocell had their mouths slightly open and eye's wide in shock as Ciel studied her an intense eye. Sebastian stood by the two students side as Elizabeth slowly opened her eye's again and nodded towards him with approval. Sebastian nodded back and wrote something down and walked away. Elizabeth got up and Maylene went "ah-" not sure what to do.
"Mr. Maylene, if I may call you that?" she told him
"Uh...yeah?" she replied
"I would like to schedule another appointment with you next week, perhaps over a cup of Chamomile?" she smiled and walked out of the room. Once she was gone Maylene blinked twice and just sat there for a second.
"I-...I passed... I passed...! I passed! Oh my god I passed!" she cheered getting up from her seat.
"Yes yes Miss. Maylene you certainly did pass, with flying colors I might add" said Sebastion
"Maylene~!" cried a teary eye'd Finny who tackled the poor girl and began to cry in the crook of her neck
"Im sorry! Im so sorry! So so sorry!" he begged.
"F-Finny! There's nothing to be sorry about!" Finny was pulled off be Bard who helped her up and pulled her into a hug.
"If you need any help, any at all, you know who to call" he told her
"Uhh...thanks Bard" he let her go and she felt a hand on each of her shoulders
"Wow~ thats pretty good" said Joker
"You're a natural" continued Drocell. Maylene nodded a thanks and turned to see Sebastian holding Druitt, the very person who would be smothering her with pity kisses whether he knew she was a girl or not. She made an exasperated face and turned to see Ciel. She rose her eyebrows questionably, he closed his eye and got up and walked towards the door stopping in front of Maylene not bothering to turn around.
"Good job"
Maylene's eye's widened as she broke into a smile and hugged the small boy who turned a slight hue of pink
"Get off!" he commanded, successfully hiding the slight hue of pink
"Thank you so much! I'll be sure to pay every sent I owe you!" she exclaimed. Once he got her off, he coughed to regain his composure and continued, only stopping at the door.
"Your first official day started tomorrow, you'll still be in basic training" he told her. Even though she didnt go after him this time, she broke out another smile of pride.
AN: fml...I just found out I've been spelling Sebastian's name wrong this whole time. Lame.
How I used to spell it: Sebastion
How it's supposed to be spelled: Sebastian
Or can it go either way? They both look correct dont they? Anyway on with the surprise!

As per normal the host club was taking guests when a particular just walked in. Envious was the feeling almost all other girls, with the exception of Maylene (duh) and Elizabeth, felt. Making the school uniform look better on you in any aspect you walked in gracefully and played your part.
1.
"H-hello" Maylene stumbled out. [y/n] smiled and took the seat across from him.
"Hello Maylene, how are you?" she asked, her [h/c] hair falling elegantly on her shoulders
"...man that was supposed to be my question" she mumbled to herself. [y/n] only giggled light heartedly and Maylene smiled that she might be doing this right.
"So...um, how is your day?" she asked
"Fine, even better now that Im here" [y/n] said. Maylene began to rub the back of her head nervously, a habit she picked up from her brothers
"Oh...um...thank you...or your welcome...I dont know" she drawled. [y/n] only giggled some more
"So I here you have a unique past?" [y/n] asked
"Oh that is...that is" Maylene's faced became drenched in remembrance, sadness and thought. [y/n] blushed seeing this side of the boy, the said that got hurt and will never fully heal.
"Im sorry" [y/n] apologized
"Huh? Oh! There's nothing to be sorry about! Now that Im here, I know that all that happened was in the past. Yeah it still hurts but with you and everyone else here-" she put on a beautiful smile " the burden becomes easier to handle". [y/n] was blushing wide eyed then smiled. Throughout the whole appointment [y/n] couldnt help but think that, Maylene, was an incredibly kind, friendly person. But she also thought, that there was more to him, then meets the eye.
2.
"Welcome Miss. [y/n], can I be of any service?" [y/n] took her seat nonchalantly and let out a sigh.
"Something wrong" he asked
"Nothing. To many people hopping to partner up with my company. These people get tiring, really, they hold no interesting factor" [y/n] complained. Ciel took his seat next to you and placed some chamomile tea in her hand. [y/p] blinked and looked up at him confused.
"It'll help with the stress" he stated simply and took a sip from his own Earl Grey. [y/n] smiled at him, she was about to do as she was told when he took her chin in her hand.
"You have really beautiful [e/c]. They become even more beautiful if you just smile" he told her. She felt her heart quicken. She didnt say anything at first.
"You have beautiful eye's too, you should smile more" that's when Ciel let go and [y/n] wasnt all to thrilled about that.
"Smiling, true smiling...is for those who in which God can trust moments that can bring happiness to the world" he said. [y/n] didnt understand and stated so. He chuckled.
"Im not surprised"
"Maybe I will never understand" she said. He looked the other way with the usual frown but shoved a piece of cake in her mouth
"Mmm!" a muffled sound came from her mouth. He turned to her and smiled
"Those who do not understand the hardships of the world are to good to understand" she looked at him again. This was abnormal from the usual appointment.
Then why...why do you understand?
3.
"Hello Sebastian!" [y/n] exclaimed, [h/l] hair waving joyfully with each step. Sebastian turned to see you and smiled. You stopped in your tracks as he bowed.
"It's a pleasure to serve you this evening Miss. [y/n]" he exclaimed. You blushed and took your seat on the bench looking up at the sky above.
"Why arent we inside with the other's?" she asked
"Because, indoor lighting would do no good to reveal the true beauty that lies in your face" he stated calmly looking her in the eye. [y/n] quickly turned her head away turning bright red. Sebastian walked closer and ran his hand through her hair, taking a stand and inhaling the light sent that graced your hair.
"Your hair smells like white roses and honey, and is soft and silky, like a cats" he said. [y/n] watched him and then smiled, she adored that little cat fetish he had. Than she realized something, how can he tell her hair smelled like roses? Roses smell were already very subtle and [y/n] diluted the smell even more by adding some water and honey. Plus he could tell you used white roses.
"Sebastian, how did you..." her voice drowned out. He put a finger to her lips.
"Im one hell of a host"
4.
"[y/n]!" cheered Finny.
"Hello Finny!" she exclaimed. Finny ran up to her and grabbed her hand, to which she blushed, and led her over to the couch.
"Here take a seat!" he offered.
"Happy as always I see Finny" you exclaimed looking at him.
"Why not be happy!" he told her. She smiled.
"True" Finny nodded an affirmative but his eye's changed once he saw a bird pass by in a window, his eye's following after the bird. You watched him, never seeing this side of Finny. As minutes passed you began to worry
"Finny..."
"Where do you think it's going" he stated more than asked. [y/n] was confused and looked down.
"I dont know, Im sorry..." Finny turned to look at her, his face quickly turning into one of panic.
"Im sorry! I didnt mean to hurt your feelings! It's just, birds, they remind me a times..."
"Sadder times?" she asked. She couldnt believe such a happy boy had sad times.
"Yeah..." he made a somewhat sad smile then placed a hand over the hands you kept folded on the table.
"But you know, if you have really sad times, and realize things that make those sad times even sadder, it makes the happy times even happier" he told you and smiled, not like the hyper boy you knew, but like the boy your getting to know. You smiled and nodded in understanding.
Why is it, that a happy person always has sad consequences?
5.
You felt a strong hand on your back
"Good afternoon Miss. [y/n]!" exclaimed the large man. You looked up and smiled.
"Good afternoon Bard" she exclaimed. You two chatted idly until your stomach began to grumble. Bard chuckled and got up to get some tea and cake. Once he came back you noticed as he set the tea cup how rugged his hands were.
Bard, whats wrong with your hands?" you asked. He took a confused look at his hands and then glowed with pride.
"These are my birth mark" he exclaimed proud
"What!" you exclaimed in shock.
"Relax, Im just saying that my callused hands are kind of a...reminder to me as to where I came from"
"Huh?" she said confused
"Back in America, we do everything by ourselves, no matter how, when, why, other countries look down on us, no matter how many times, we come back"
"Is that why Americans are known as Comeback Kings?" she asked
"Yup! Not just born Americans, people from ever seas too. We put them straight to work. But I guess you can say it rubs off on them too" he said. You placed your cup down.
"Bard, tell me more about America" she asked.
"Sure!" he went on and on about all the wonderful things America has as she listened intently.
"But England has all that and more" you stated
"Yeah, you have all your fancy things and what not but there are two things you can never match in value or take from us Americans" he said.
"Oh and whats that?" she asked feeling some kind of a challenge. He looked up before muttering three words.
"Freedom, Independence, and the Pursuit of Happiness"
6.
"Joker..." muttered a faint voice
"Hmm? What is it Drocell?" replied said Joker
"...Oh it's nothing..." Drocell again muttered. Joker "tch"-ed and took his chin in his hand
"Look, if there's something you need to tell me than tell me" he ordered seriously. [y/n] watched the scene unfold right before her [e/c] eyes in amazement. To see he older twin show authority other than the kind gentle guidance was, in her point of view, attractive.
"I...I just wanted to say you looked really nice today" he said turning away. Joker blinked obviously not expecting that to happen, than chuckled and took his seat again.
"Geez, all worked up for nothing" he said
"Well, not really. It seems we have gained Miss. [y/n]'s attention" said Drocell pointing a finger at you, Jokers gaze following quickly suit. You jump a little from your seat from the sudden attention.
"I've been meaning to ask you a question Miss. [y/n]" said Joker
"I as well" continued Drocell. They both got out of their chairs and walked over to you both tenderly tracing the structure of one of your cheeks with his index finger. You could feel your face grow hot
"Who would you choose, me or him" they both said. You flinched at the question and looked down in shame, you honestly didnt know.
"I...I..." you mumbled, they leaned their faces in but you only turned whiter in guilt for being so cold towards them as individuals.
"Both..." you managed to say. You shut your eye's expecting some rash action like pouring tea on you to occur from them but all you heard was a chuckle.
"Thats good" they said
"Huh?"
"Having two dolls is better than one" said Drocell
"It's much more of a circus" finished Joker
7. ...if you really want
"With eye's deeper than the sky, colored a beautiful [e/c] by the grace of God so much so that nymphs envy you. [h/l] hair the color of [h/c] so rich that no magic can ever hope to duplicate. A smile as radiant as valuable as unfound treasures. A face that makes the hopeless smile. And a voice that can calm darkness that resides in all of out hearts. All these describe my beautiful [y/n]" (ha, i just made all that up right now) pronounced Druitt. [y/n] blushed at his boldness.
"Where did you learn to recite like that?" she asked
"Well, you of course" he answered taking a sip of his wine
"Me?" you asked
"Why yes. Looking at you, I can see what makes you so special, and recite then in words of equal value. Such as the way as the gentlemen" he announced. You looked in awe at him not noticing the dark aura of annoyance present behind you where all other hosts are.
"Than again..." he said. He set his wine glass down
"A person such as yourself doesnt need to be told"
"Wha.."
"You just need to realize yourself and you'll be just fine"
Paper Train- "There hoped you liked them! Dont forget to review, I really love hearing from you! Have a good morning/noon/night!"
