"So, Yuki-kun, we heard you joined the Host Club..." A girl blushed, and I sent a grin at her, making the blush deepen.
"Yep! You're right! I did!" More like by force... it all happened so fast!
"Wh-why did you join?" one girl asked. I put on a thoughtful face.
"Hmm, well, I'd have to say... because the sight of your smiles just makes my day, ladies!" They giggled and blushed. I checked my watch. "Oh? It's time to go, see you around ladies!" I smiled, waving.
"See you later, Yuki-kun!"
-P.O.V Change-
As Yuki disappeared around the corner, their smiles fell, being replaced with looks of worry and concern.
"It really is true what Tamaki-sempai told us... he really did lose his memory..."
-Flashback-
"Ladies, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Tamaki said.
"What's the matter, Tamaki?" One girl asked.
"I'm afraid... Natsu has lost his memory." All of the girls gasped.
"R-r-really!?" They gasped. Tamaki nodded.
"I'm afraid so. So please, ladies, make him feel welcomed, and please, pretend nothing has happened." They nodded.
"Poor Natsu-kun..."
-End Flashback-
"We just have to try our best!" The girls agreed.
"For Nat — I mean, Yuki-kun!"
-P.O.V Change-
I sneezed. "Is someone taking about me?" I wondered, walking up to the doors of the Host Club. I opened the door, and a bunch of petals flew out. I blinked.
"Welcome." Seven voices said. I laughed slightly.
"Relax guys, it's just me!" They walked forward.
"Hey, you made it." I picked some petals from my head.
"Have you ever thought what a waste of roses this is?" I looked at the scattered rose petals. "But, it's a nice touch." I laughed. They nodded.
"Thank you for the compliment." Tamaki bowed. I blinked, smiling.
"You're weird, Tamaki-sempai." He froze, before going into a dark corner and assuming a dejection pose.
"Tamaki... sempai?" I asked, walking over. "Uhh... I'm sorry if I offended you..." He shot up, and suddenly, the background behind him was filled with sparkles and roses. I blinked. "You really are weird..."
"Just ignore him, Yuki." Haruhi said as she brought over tea sets to the different tables. Tamaki shot up, appearing beside Haruhi in an instant. I blinked, amazed.
"He sure moves fast..."
✪η✪
"Welcome, ladies." They squealed. As more guests came, they requested a host, and I was soon sitting in front of five girls.
"Nice to meet you, ladies, I'm Yuki Takahashi, and what are your names?"
"I'm Aoi Satsuki."
"Momo Kirishima."
"Saki Kirishima."
"Harumi Onodera."
The fifth girl was silent. I looked at her curiously. "Are you alright, miss?" she snapped out of it and gave me a shy smile.
"I-I'm Miya." I nodded, smiling. These girls were pretty weird... they blushed whenever I smiled, and complimented them. But, I did have a lot of fun. After everyone had left, we started cleaning up.
"So, how did it go? Did you have a good time?" Tamaki asked. I nodded, smiling. "That's good." I chuckled. Even though it was my first time in a... place such as this... it was fun. Never knew I could make a girl blush. Heh. As I gathered the plates, Hunny walked up and tugged on my sleeve.
"Yes, Hunny-sempai?" I asked.
"Do you want to eat some cake with Usa-chan and me?" I nodded, smiling.
"I'll just finish clearing up these plates, ok?" He nodded, and skipped over to another table. I smiled, picking up the plates and brought them over to a back room where Haruhi was washing the dishes.
"Thanks for helping clean up." Haruhi smiled slightly. I nodded.
"Don't worry about it. I am a member of the Host Club after all." She blinked, looking down for a moment. I could tell she was sad about something.
"Are you ok, Haruhi? You're sad about something, aren't you?" I said sincerely. She looked surprised, before giving a small nervous laugh.
"Of course not, why would you say that?"
"I can tell something's up."
"Well..." She started turning the knob of the sink so that the water was off. "I had a friend that was also in the host club, and she was really kind, a little short tempered, sarcastic, stubborn..." A small smile touched her face, "but she was a person who new how to make us smile, and even though she had a lot of tough things in her life, she was one of our best friends. You just... remind me of her." She finished. I nodded. The truth. I see, so I remind her of someone close to her. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
"It's a good thing you never forgot her, huh?" I said, lacing my fingers behind my head as I walked towards the door, "After all, with your memories of her, then that means your friendship will never really die. That's a good thing, right?" I looked back, smiling.
"You have no idea... Natsu."
✪η✪
"This cake is so good!" I exclaimed, taking another bite of cake.
"It's from the best baker around! Kyo-chan says that cake makes everyone happy! And boy, is he right!" He smiled widely, inhaling another piece of cake. (Man, I want some cake now...)
'Who the hell are you?'
(Uh... your conscious.)
"Really?"
(...)
"Who are you talking to, Yu-chan?" Hunny asked me.
"Hm? Oh, my conscious!" I smiled.
(You idiot, do you want them to think you're mental?)
'...'
"That was awesome!" I smiled, clearing away the dishes. Hunny smiled, and I leaned down with a napkin. "Hunny-sempai, you have crumbs on your face." I smiled, he laughed.
"Thank you Yu-chan!" I smiled, ruffling his hair.
"No problem." Before I took away my hand, he put one of his on top of mine, preventing me from removing it. "Hunny-sempai? Are you ok?" I asked, concerned. He had the same emotions Haruhi had, sadness, regret.
"I'm fine, don't worry!" He smiled. Fake. I gave him a warm smile, ruffling his hair again.
"If you're sad about anything you can talk to me, ok?" I smiled. He nodded, his big brown eyes glistening. "Awww... Don't cry, Hunny-sempai!" I swept him up in a hug. Sheesh, for a kid who eats cake 24/7, he sure weighs nothing! "Don't cry..." I cooed, hearing him sniffle. "Don't cry... Here..." I took a candy out of my pocket.
"It's supposed to be one of the best!" I smiled. He nodded, and unwrapped it, popping it in his mouth.
"It's yummy!" He smiled, I also smiled, happy that the pink and flowery aura was surrounding him again. He scampered off, and I stood up, before taking the last of the dishes to the back to wash them. I turned on the warm water, my skin erupting in goose bumps when the water hit my skin. I sighed contently, feeling the water run over my hands. I washed the dishes and put them on the rack, taking a cloth to dry my hands. I stretched, yawning.
"All done." I went into the other room to see all the hosts sitting on couches, relaxing. I smiled at the picture. One big family. I slung my bag over my shoulder. "Well, see you guys later." I smiled.
"See you later, Yu-chan!"
"Be sure to come tomorrow, too!"
"Of course!" I waved. As I walked towards the door, I looked back for a second, and tripped over my shoelace, I don't wear the uniform. (Yet, hohoho~) "Uwah!" I cried out in shock, hearing multiple calls of my name. I closed my eyes, seeing the ground come closer. I felt myself fall into something warm, and I opened my eyes to see a pair of grey eyes peering into mine behind two thin pieces of glass. I blinked multiple times, before turning bright red.
"Are you ok?" He asked, smiling slightly at my expression. I jumped back, looking at the ground and gathering all of my things that had fallen from my bag.
"I-I'm fine, th-thanks Kyoya-sempai." I refused to meet his eyes, because I knew my face was still red.
"I'm glad." I zipped my bag and bowed once to them."
"S-see you later!" I stammered before bolting through the door.
It was so warm, in his arms, and, even though I only met the guy, it was comforting.
It felt so right.
