I do not own OHSHC.

"It's pink! IT"S FREAKING PINK!" Echo spat as she glared at the building in front of us. She folded her arms over her loose t-shirt, just like mine it was custom made, but hers had Eren and Levi from Attack on Titans standing back to back with the words, "I ship this, get over it." She had on her favorite black flare jeans and combat boots. Her hair was done, the front flat ironed and down and the back spiked up. Her ever present satchel slung across her chest. We often joked that if you didn't know her, she could pass for a man if she wanted to. And it was true she has been referred to as a male. But for today she decided to be female so she added a black bow to her hair and opted to not wear her chest binder, not that it made a difference, she was very flat chested.

"It's not so bad," I told her, "it could've been a bright hot pink."

Ouran Academy, one of the most elite schools in the country, maybe the world, was a light baby pink and looked like a castle. Around the school was multiple gardens, even from the sidewalk I could smell all the different flowers. I wonder if I'm allowed to eat lunch outside?...

Echo dropped her arms and muttered, "yeah that's true.."

"Now come on, I want see the inside." I grabbed her arm and listened to the click-clack of my stilettos on the ground as we made our way inside. It was just as huge as it appeared to be; with the high arches of the pillars, the grand halls and chandeliers. We paused for a while, taking it all in. "This architecture is amazing.." I said softly to myself. Echo must have heard because she deadpanned at me and said, "Really?"

I smiled sheepishly and shrugged, I had the tendency to wonder about things that most people didn't. Why something was made, when it was made, what were they thinking, how long did it take, what are other people doing in different countries, what are they thinking about and why etc. I was just a nosy and curious person like that.

It was was the last hour of classes so the halls were completely empty as we made our way to the office we were in when we enrolled. The meeting with chairman Suoh wasn't very long, maybe 30 minutes. It was mostly about our uniforms, light yellow puffy dresses. I didn't think they were so bad, Echo, of course, protested. She didn't like wearing dresses very much and if she did they weren't very girly. After some debating (arguing) it was agreed she could wear the boys uniform, it was better than the dress. I had asked the chairman if I could add some personal touch to the dress and, maybe because he was tired from arguing with Echo, he agreed.

And so we set off to explore the school, not wanting to get lost on our first day tomorrow. After getting turned around a few times we eventually figured out where the lunch room, art room, libraries, and class rooms were. I was in class 2-A and Echo was in class 1-A, chairman Suoh explained it was because I was a year older when really I was only a couple of months. My birthday was in July and Echos was in February which meant right know I was sixteen and she was fifteen. I guess it had to do with how their school system was set up.

We were looking for the music rooms when we saw a guy wearing a cloak and talking to a cat doll walking towards us. Only when he was right in front of me and Echo did he stop walking and looked down at us. Yes, down, the guy seemed to be at least 5'10" with that slouch of his and it didn't help that I was 5'1" and Echo was 5'3" but with my pumps I was at least an inch taller than her.

"Hello~," the guy said.

"Hi." "Hey," We greeted back. Echo studied the guy as I smiled politely at him, in theory the guy seems creepy and maybe crazy but he didn't give off any of those vibes he actually seemed kinda nice. Okay he was a little creepy but like I said mostly nice. I wanna cloak, I thought, preferably in dark blue…

The guy bowed, "I am Nekozawa, Umehito." Echo and I gave a slight bow back and Echo said, "Valentine, Echo and this is Cloud, Storm." My name sounds weirder backwards…. "It's nice to meet you Nekozawa-san," I said.

He held the cat puppet up to his ear then turned to us, "Beelzenef tells me you are new here."

"Uh..?" I couldn't find words for this. Beelzenef?…. Luckily I didn't have to, Echo did for me. "Yes we are," she answered, "and how does Beelzenef know this?"

"You are not wearing the school uniform." We both looked down at our clothes then back to him. "Touche," I muttered.

"I would like to ask if either of you, if not both, are interested in the Black Magic club." Nekozawa asked. "Black Magic.." Echo repeated, she seemed interested. "Would I get one of those cloaks?" I asked pointing at his. He smiled, "only if you want one." Echo and I studied him for a bit longer before she nodded, "sure I'd like to check it out, Storm?" I thought about it for a moment then shook my head, "nah I don't believe in magic and if I did it would go against my religion." Echo nodded but I saw her roll her eyes a little when I mentioned religion. We believed in different things, and she didn't care for when I brought mine into my decisions, but it never became a problem. "I'm going to keep looking around the school." I told her.

"Okay, I'll call when I'm done and we can go home." She replied. I bowed again to Nekozawa, "Thank you for the invitation and, again, it was nice meeting you." He nodded back, "You as well, and if you ever change your mind…"

I smiled, "of course and if you're getting rid of any cloaks…." He chuckled, nodding, then faced Echo, "If you'll follow me Valentine-san."

"Call me Echo," she told him as they walked down the hall. I waved and went in the opposite direction.

I was still wondering fifteen minutes later and starting to get sleepy, when I finally found the music rooms. Choosing at random, I opened one of the doors and stepped inside. It was as beautiful as the rest of the school but instead of music stands and a few instruments like I thought there was couches and tables with flowers. This place is so freaking weird…. I walked in more and made my way around the furniture, looking at everything. Reaching the back of the room I found something stranger. It seemed as if someone tried to make one of the couches into a bed. A pillow was at one end, a pink blanket with bunnies on it spread out and- the most curious thing of all- a light blue canopy hung from the ceiling over the couch. It looked like something for a toddler. I gave a yawn and thought, what the hell?... I was tired and a nap seemed great. So I slipped off my shoes and layed down on the couch, bringing the blanket up to my chin, letting my eyes fall closed.

I was almost fully asleep when I felt something poking my shoulder. I shifted and gave a small groan as I opened my eyes. It was a little blurry at first but when my eyes adjusted I found myself looking at a blond haired elementary student with chocolate brown eyes. "Yes?" I mumbled sleepily. "Why are you sleeping in my bed?" He asked quietly. I could hear other voices in the room but couldn't make out what they were saying. "Oh. This is your bed? I'm sorry," I was a little more awake now and started to get up, "I'll get up." I whispered. I was about to sit up when he placed his hands on my shoulders, "No, you don't have to I was just ask-" he yawned, interrupting himself, "-ing." Even in my sleep induced haze I notest he was adorable.

I scooted back some, laying on my side and pressing my back in to the couch to make more room. "Here, why don't you climb in and take a nap with me?" I asked, still whispering. He gave a bright smile, "then we can cuddle!" He hopped onto the couch and curled up into my chest as I tucked the blanket around him. He looked up at me, "I'm Haninozuka, Mitsukuni but you can call me Honey."

I hugged him close, remembering taking naps like this with my nephew, "I'm Cloud, Storm. Just call me Storm." Honey gave me one more smile before we closed our eyes.
