Chapter 3: The Job of a High School Host! [Part 1]
After Last Period~
Ciel's P.O.V
It's been a week since I joined the host club. I've pretty much grown used to it. I opened the Music room door, to find that it was in a tropical paradise. Okay. Maybe I'm not so use to the weird themes. It's only early spring and yet it's so warm in this room. Every member was shirtless except Haruhi, and surprisingly the King too. Once the king noticed me, he began his usually blabbing.
"Cuddling under a Kotatsu table fearing the cold is nonsense! And beside the heating system we have is the BEST!"
I watched as Mori carried Honey on his back and began running back in forth at a fast speed. Seems fun. I turned my attention back at Tamaki again.
"Gentlemen don't bundle up in bulky clothing. It might be chilly early spring in the real world, but here at the club, we like to surprise our chilly little kittens with a warm tropical paradise."
He began wrapping his arm around Haruhi's neck, making me flinch.
" Oh yes! We've turned this place into Nirvana!" The obnoxious leader finished.
Just like everyday after his blabbering, he gives me my costume. I noticed Haruhi was the only one not in costume. I walked to the changing room to put on my tropical outfit. I started wondering about Haruhi.
Me and Haruhi are growing closer every day, but we don't know much about each other. I'm glad we're friends though. I walked out of the changing room, ready for the daily life of a high school host. I was shirtless in a long black skirt. I looked down at my body and saw that red sign on my left side of my ribcage. I hope no one asks me about it. I sat down next to my favorite customer. I decided talking to more than 1 customer is faster than a one on one talk for every girl, but there was one girl I enjoyed talking to alone.
"Hi Ciel." Aya greeted cheerfully.
"Hi Aya."
She stared at the sign and asked, "What's that sign?"
Damn it I probably jinxed it.
"It's just a tattoo I received a long time ago." I lied.
"Oh really? That's cool. Tattoos seem painful though." she said looking into my eyes.
"Not really." I lied again. The sign was technically ironed onto my skin.
"Ciel? Can I ask personal questions?" Aya asked. "I just want to get to know you better." She explained.
"Sure ask me anything." I replied.
"What happened to your eye?"
"Just a small accident at my mansion."
"Have you thought about getting a new eye?"
"When something is gone, it will never return." I said touching my eye patch. The truth is I made a contract with a demon and under this eye patch shows the sign of the contract. Is what I wanted to tell her.
"Oh I'm sorry... D-do you mind telling me more about yourself?" Aya asked unsure.
"I was... humiliated as a pet ... my house was burnt, my family was killed. I was such a... powerless kid. Therefore, I returned to my mansion in order to make those people who put me through such fate taste the same humiliation. The successors of the generations killed three years prior would come to me as long as I am the head of the Phantomhive family that stands in their way. I'm waiting ...for them to come and try to kill me here." I confessed.
I just can't keep EVERYTHING from Aya. She's the most honest and innocent person I ever met.
"...I'm so sorry." She said with empathy. "My father was a scientist, who kidnapped people for test subjects, killed them, and made them into dolls. He eventually killed mom and tried to kill me too, but the cops locked him up real good, where he can never go out to see light." She confessed.
She lost both of her parents like me. Even though her story was completely different I felt a bit closer to her.
After my talk with Aya I decided to take a break. Reliving the past isn't easy. I turned my attention to Tamaki, who was talking to three girls.
"Oh yes! I almost forgot to mention to you ladies. Next week the ouran host club is sponsoring a party." Tamaki announced.
"We're throwing a party?" I heard Haruhi mumble.
"What kind of party is it going to be?" "Is it going to be Formal?"
"Yes in fact we rented the school's largest hall." I think Hikaru said.
" It's the perfect place for dancing for dancing." I'm guessing Kaoru said.
After that Hikaru started flirting with Kaoru and the girls, once again started going bizirk. A dance would seem nice. I had to spend countless hours practicing with Sebastian, so Why not? Might as well not let it go to waste.
"Aren't you going to wear a tropical outfit like the other boys?" One of Haruhi's customer asked.
"Yes I would like to see that." Another customer said.
I agreed with them. Haruhi barely wears the costumes.
"Well no I-I just don't think it's appropriate to wear anything, but early spring attire in early spring you know?" Haruhi replied.
Tamaki offered Haruhi a costume, but he got rejected. I couldn't help but smirk.
"Wow Haruhi you're really faithful to the seasons aren't you?"
"I think thats great I hope we're lucky enough that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the night of the party."
" The two of us dancing among the cherry blossoms it's so dreamy."
" You really think so? You know ladies, I think its really cute when you dream like that." Haruhi said, making them waver again.
Another girl, Kanako approached Haruhi saying that he's her new favorite host. Tamaki looked shocked and hurt, so after host club he started to eat "commoners" ramen. We asked him to help us with the party planning, but he continued to eat. Apparently he was depressed about Princess Kanako liking Haruhi, since she was his previous customer. Hikaru says she has the 'Host Hopping Disease'. When he said it, I thought about that Hag with blue eyes.
"Aka the never the same boy twice disease." Kaoru pointed out.
"Usually our customers choose a favorite host and then see them regularly. However, Princess Kanako tends to change her favorites, on a regular basis." Kyoya explained.
"That's right cause before she chose you, she was with Tama chan." Honey said.
"Oh, so he's upset that I took her from him?" Haruhi said.
"Oh Shut up! I couldn't care less! I'm running out of patience. Haruhi! it's about time you start dressing like a g-" Tamaki stopped and looked at me. Was he going to say girl? This perverted leader wants Haruhi to dress like a girl? Dressing like a girl when you're a guy is shameful. I shamed the Phantomhive name already, so I know how it feels to lose all your dignity by wearing a dress. Haruhi is a man and deserves to keep his dignity.
"Finish your sentence." I demanded.
"I was going to say gentlemen." Tamaki said regaining his cool.
I snickered. The host club seems to be hiding something from me. Maybe Sebastian can come here and find out the secret, but the school doesn't allow butlers. There is a party though. I have to make sure other guest that's not from the school can come.
"Tamaki, Can I bring an out of school guest?" I asked.
"Well of course. The more the merrier."
Yes. Now then I should go invite Sebastian. I bowed down and left the room, saying some excuse.
I quickly removed my eye patch and whispered, "Sebastian. Come to Ouran Academy Friday night to attend a party with me. I need you."
I could imagine Sebastian smirking and saying his famous line, "Yes, My Lord." I walked back into the host club room. When I walked in I saw Honey imitating me.
"I need you." Honey said dramatically in a deep voice.
He was apparently talking to Mori. Mori got on his knees and bowed down. "Hm."
Mori never really talks. Mostly just grunts, but he does talk to Honey sometimes. After Honey and Mori's little performance everyone started laughing and I started to blush.
"Wow, Ciel. You joined this club even though you have a girlfriend?" Hikaru laughed.
"How can you bring her to a party where you'll be flirting with girls?" Kaoru questioned jokingly.
"I invited my butler guys!" I shouted, feeling my face get hotter.
"It's as I thought. Ciel is gay." Tamaki concluded.
"I am not! I denied.
I stormed out of the club room and yelled, "Tell me the details of the party tomorrow! I'm going home!"
I started to walk home from school. Haruhi didn't make any remarks, which I appreciated. I sighed. I can't wait to see Sebastian. I miss him. Him being with me all these years even though I treated him like a dog means a lot to me. I would never be able to say this to him in person, but he's like a father to me. Even though we are bound together by contract, I see him as a father. He stayed by my side and I stayed by his up until I went to Ouran. I bet any other demon would have killed me already disregarding the contract, but he hasn't.
And soon, we will be united again.
