It's raining today so I'm updating.
Yay rain! :D
Lol, despite this being a shortish chapter, this was also a bitch to write.
For many reasons.
But I won't get into that.
So like, enjoy if possible.
I glared at Hikaru and Kaoru through half lidded eyes after being woken up from my nap by the sounds of their lowered whispering. Said twins currently had their backs turned away from my resting form that had been occupying one of the new couches in the club room. Kyoya, who was sitting on another couch across me with his laptop, had noticed my piercing stare and lifted a corner of his lips into a small smirk. I think he was secretly waiting for me to do something.
But I only continued to glare.
"What are you two up to?" Haruhi questioned, eyeing the marker in Hikaru's hand.
"Nothing much." Kaoru grinned at the short brunette.
"We just thought that it'd be fun to mess with Rei a little, that's all." Hikaru added innocently. His innocent smile quickly transformed into a mischievous one as he turned to his twin. "So, do you think cat whiskers would suit her?"
"Indeed, it would." Kaoru nodded with an expression that equally matched his brother's. "Don't forget to color in her nose."
Hikaru's smile widened. "But of course."
My eyebrows went flat. Did they seriously think they could prank me?
Me?
Bitch please.
I was like the most unprankable person out there.
Not only that, but I've also been dubbed as the Pranking Queen by literally everyone in California that knew me. It was a title I received in the sixth grade after I singlehandedly set all the eighth grade lockers on fire during my first week of school.
And that was just for shits and giggles.
But you know, it's not like I was bragging about it or anything.
…Even though I totally was.
I heard Haruhi release a long sigh. "Would you two just leave her alone? I don't think she'd appreciate you drawing on her face."
This is why Haruhi is my second favorite female in this entire damn school.
Bless her and her crossdressing ways.
"She's not supposed to. It's a prank." The twins told her before turning around to face me but immediately froze once they saw my glare in place.
"You guys just want me to hurt you, don't you?"
They gulped at the menacing aura I was emitting.
Hikaru blinked at me with nervous eyes. "D-Don't tell me that…"
"Y-your blood type is AB too?" Kaoru ended fearfully.
I blinked.
The threatening atmosphere I had created diminished as I raised an eyebrow at them, obviously confused. "What does my blood type have to do with anything?"
"SO IT IS TRUE!" Tamaki suddenly appeared near the twins out of nowhere, causing me to jerk in shock.
"No, Tamaki. It's not." I glared at him. "And thanks for the freaking heart attack. Where did you even come from?"
The three ignored me and instead heaved sighs of relief.
"Thank god, we thought she might've been the same as Kyoya-senpai and Honey-senpai…" Kaoru said.
"And what seems to be the problem with that?" Kyoya asked without even glancing at them. "Is there something you three would like to share with me?"
They quickly cowered in fear from the boy. "Not at all!"
I rolled my eyes before launching the pink pillow under my head at one of them. I chuckled after I succeeded in hitting Hikaru in the face. "Dorks."
With a tired sigh, I moved to sit up from the couch but stopped as soon as I felt a jolt of pain course through my body.
"Ow…" I stayed in the same position for a moment while clenching my jaw, trying to adjust to the sudden discomfort I felt.
All hosts and Valerie stopped what they were doing to look at me with concern.
"Rei, are you okay?" Valerie asked, frowning a bit in worry.
"I'm fine." I exhaled slowly. "I guess I'm still a little sore from the fight. Honestly, I thought I'd be better by now. It's already been five days." I chuckled dryly before slowly sitting up properly.
All I really remembered after the incident were the hostile looks the members had on before leaving with the three bullies.
After that, everything went back to normal. Like nothing ever happened.
I asked Kyoya about it later but all he told me was that we wouldn't have anything to worry about anymore.
I didn't question him after that.
I was probably better off not knowing anyways.
Silence instantly fell upon everyone in the room. I glanced over their serious expressions and tilted my head to the side slightly. "Why did it get so quiet all of the sudden?" I asked.
I raised my eyebrows when Hikaru and Kaoru abruptly began stalking towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Tamaki questioned.
"To pay those jerks a visit." Hikaru growled with narrowed eyes.
"Let it go you two." Kyoya sighed deeply and closed his laptop to look over at the angry gingers. "We've already resolved the issue. There's no need to complicate things any further." He paused to push up his glasses. "Besides, I think they've already learned their lesson from Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai."
The twins stopped in their tracks at his words.
"That's right…" Hikaru shuddered at the memory.
"Yeah, who knew Honey-senpai could be so brutal?" Kaoru glanced back at the small blonde who was currently picking at the piece of cake in front of him in a trance.
"Messing with my friends is a big no-no." Honey muttered to himself in low voice, sending chills down their spines.
I smiled a little at Honey's protective nature before standing from the couch. I walked over to the redheads and threw my arms around the two in a hug, surprising the both of them. "Thanks guys. I'm fine though." I pulled away to grin at them before making my way over to Honey.
"And you are too damn sweet, Haninozuka." I hugged him affectionately. "I feel like I should be the one protecting you instead. Not the other way around."
Honey brightened up with a giggle before returning my hug sweetly. "I'll always protect you, Rei-chan!"
I internally squealed at his cuteness.
Fuck, I've developed a soft spot for this boy.
Oh well.
I looked over at Honey's side to see Mori watching me calmly.
I blinked at him. "Does Mori want affection too?"
He just stared at me weirdly.
I nodded seriously before releasing Honey to glomp his cousin. I nuzzled his dark hair. "Affection for Mori."
Said member stared at the others in both confusion and uncertainty while Honey just laughed at me.
"Okay, is anyone else weirded out by this?" Kaoru questioned.
Everyone slowly raised their hands except for Valerie and Honey. Kyoya just started jotting something down in his notebook.
Weird.
"Since when was Rei a hugger?" Hikaru stared at me strangely.
I glanced at him with a shrug after letting go of Mori. "I'm in a good mood."
"It just means she likes you guys." Valerie grinned. "And once she knows she likes someone, it doesn't take long for her to get emotionally attached."
Kyoya quickened his pace in writing. Seriously, what is he even doing?
…Is he writing this down?
….Well okay then.
I frowned at my best friend. "You just love talking about me don't you?"
"Of course I do." Valerie smiled at me innocently. "It's cause I love you."
My eye twitched and I buried my face into my hands. "Why must you be so cute?" I demanded while pointing at her.
"It's a gift." Valerie said in a sassy tone.
I immediately looked at her. "You've been talking with Dorian lately, haven't you?"
She looked slightly embarrassed. "Maybe…"
"Of course you have." I sighed, shaking my head. "Damn it, Dorian."
"Who's Dorian?" The twins asked in unison with curious gold eyes.
I gave them a long, flat stare. "Absolutely nobody." I said monotonously. "Don't worry about it."
They raised their eyebrows oddly at me but didn't question it.
With a random yawn, I strode over to Kyoya and plopped myself on the couch between him and Valerie. I sat there quietly for a minute, staring at the ceiling.
Another minute passed.
"I'm bored." I stated, earning looks from around the room.
"Oh boy." Valerie sighed knowingly.
Haruhi glanced at her. "Is there something wrong?"
Valerie merely shook her head before looking back at me when I exhaled dramatically. "Everything… turning dull…"
"Rei." Valerie told me in a scolding tone.
"Val." I copied her with a small grin and a sudden gleam in my blue eyes.
She sighed again. "Here we go." All club members paused to watch us with curiosity.
I frowned. "What? What am I doing?"
"You know exactly what you're doing." She gave me a look.
I made a sad face. "But I don't though."
She rolled her eyes, unconvinced. "Suure."
I pouted at her before turning my head to Kyoya.
He lifted an eyebrow at the mildly confused look I was giving him. "What's the matter?"
"Do you know what I'm doing?" I asked with a frown.
"I don't believe I do." Kyoya replied coolly.
"Well shit." I widened my eyes a little, feigning surprise. I then patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, Kyoya. We're smart people. We can figure this out together."
He scrunched his eyebrows together. "I wouldn't say I was particularly worried about it."
I cocked my head to the side. "Worried about what?" I asked cluelessly.
He blinked at me slowly.
"Are you feeling alright?" He frowned in genuine concern.
"Absolutely." I responded casually. "Why do you ask?"
He just stared at me blankly. "No reason…"
"What is she doing?" I heard Tamaki whisper to Haruhi.
"That's what we want to know!" I exclaimed while pointing at the tall blonde.
Honey laughed loudly. "You're so silly, Rei-chan!"
"Just a little." I admitted cheekily.
"What is even happening right now?" The twins exchanged a look with each other.
Honestly, everyone else looked just as lost as they did.
Valerie smiled humorously at the whole situation before shaking her head at me. "Oh Rei."
Honey is so precious guys. I adore him so very much.
So cute.
Anyways, that's it for this chapter.
See ya.
