Recipe 10: Rose-Flavored Spring Rolls of Nurse Advice

"Master Hikaru….wake up….Master Hikaru you're going to be late for school."

One of the twin maids shook Hikaru gently trying to wake him up. She looked at the clock by the bed and took note that it was almost eight. She hoped that he would wake up soon without being too late for school. She looked over at the empty bed that spoke of the other young master Kaoru who had left early that morning to go meet the young lady friend she often seen him with.

"Go away Aiko," Hikaru mumbled pulling his pillow over his head to block out her voice. He turned over almost as if to get her to stop shaking him to wake up. "I'm not feeling well today please leave me alone."

Are you sure?" asked the maid. "Master Kaoru will be disappointed that you didn't come to school today."

"He won't care," Hikaru mumbled. "He'll barely notice that I am not even there when he's with that girl."

Romey sneezed.

"Are you okay Romey?" Kaoru asked sitting down the dough he'd been tossing in the air. "You sound like you're catching a cold."

"I am fine," Romey went to go wash her hands. "I don't why I sneezed."

"Maybe someone's talking about you?" Kaoru asked shrugging.

"That's not what causes a sneeze Kaoru-dear!"

~Back with Hikaru~

"I am sure that you're wrong master Hikaru," Aiko pulled the sheets off of Hikaru's body and shook her head turning away to avoid his bare body curled up under the sheets. "And would it kill you to wear pajamas to bed?"

Hikaru shivered and reached for his blankets but heard the door shut and he found himself alone. "Damn it Aiko I want my blankets back!"

"He's not coming in today," Christy, sighed sitting the cappuccino on the counter in sadness. She had prepared a maple latte with extra foam for Hikaru and he had not even came in. She looked up at the clock noticing that it was almost time for her to go to class. Yeah Hikaru was not going to show up anytime soon. Maybe she could try at lunch when the café reopened for the lunch rush.

"Christy he'll show up give him time," Renge smiled gently. "He wouldn't not show up for his breakfast because he'd forget."

Christy shook her head. "I doubt he'll ever come in here again…not after what a good I acted like the last time he was here."

"Come on Christy don't be like that!" Renge slapped her on the back. "He will show up and then you can try to ask him out."

Christy shook her head.

The sound of the bell chiming seemed to snap the girls out of their conversation as lo and behold Hikaru arrived. He was straightening his tie and his hair was not its usual spiky style but rather flat and not at all volumized by gel.

"Speak of the devil." Renge smirked. "Go on Christy go ask him if he wants his usual."

Christy nodded and quickly rushed over to Hikaru. "Good morning Hikar-waaaaah!" She slipped and crashed to the floor in front of him. "Aww man! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

Hikaru raised an eyebrow but held out a hand to her. "Are you okay?" he asked. "You shouldn't be running in a place like this."

"I…I…" Christy stared up at him and blushed a soft crimson red. "I am fine I just…"

"She's not fine!" Renge shouted. "Hikaru can you take her to the nurse? She sprained her ankle or something."

"Seriously?" Hikaru asked rolling his eyes but he knelt down and picked up Christy. "Hang on to my neck ok? If you fall again it'll be my fault and I can't live with that guilt on my head."

Christy looked at Renge who gave her two thumbs up. She leaned against Hikaru's chest pretending to be hurt. "Thanks…" she whispered. "I'll be sure you get free lattes and cappuccino for a week for this."

"It's not a problem," Hikaru mumbled though he had to admit that Christy was a rather amusing person to hang out with. Even if it was just a trip to the nurse's office.

"Suou next time please look at what you were eating." A blonde nurse sighed as she put the bottle of ipecac syrup back on the cupboard. "I am just glad that you didn't ingest too much of those poison berries."

Tamaki groaned and laid back on the bed as he covered his eyes with his hand. "I'll be more careful."

The nurse nodded and went to the next bed. She sat down on it and looked at Honey. "Haninozuka what's wrong today?"

Honey held up his finger, which had a splinter in it. "I touched the wood that I was cutting shop class." he teared up. "Can you get it out for me?"

The nurse shook her head and removed the splinter with tweezers before she put a bandage on it and kissed it. "There you go."

Honey smiled. "Thank you nurse-san!"

The nurse sighed and went to the other bed where she saw that Mori had a bandage around his head. "Are you okay Morinozuka?" she asked gently checking the bandage. "I think the lump on your head should go down in a few more hours. Just stay here and rest as much as you need to."

She then went to another bed and saw Haruhi sitting there. "Fujioka are you feeling better?" she asked.

Haruhi nodded. "Yes ma'am but I still feel sad that I miss my mom," she whispered.

"Oh my, poor Fujioka!" The nurse took Haruhi into her arms and hugged her much to the dismay of Tamaki, Mori, and Honey. The three of them knew Haruhi wanted the nurse to give her hugs where as they never got one. "It'll be all right; your mother is in heaven watching you and wants you to smile."

Haruhi nodded. "Yes ma'am."

The door opened and another nurse with dark hair and light brown skin walked in with Kyouya leaning on her shoulder. "I found Ootori on the field," she said. "Is there an available bed?"

"Yes, over there near Suou." the nurse said as she let Haruhi go and walked to where the nurse was putting Kyouya. "What happened?"

"He collapsed." The other nurse explained. "I don't know why…but every week these boys seem to get sick…it's such a mystery."

"I bet anything that the Hitachiin brothers are not too far behind." The blonde nurse heard Tamaki let out a loud moan. "Can you take care of Ootori? I'll go check on Suou."

The nurse nodded and helped Kyouya to the bed before she began checking him. "Oh dear you're dehydrated…I'll go get you something ok?"

Kyouya nodded.

The nurse headed off to go get Kyouya some water.

"Suou please stay in bed and don't try to leave," the other nurse shouted before going to check on the other hosts.

"Here you are Ootori," the nurse gave Kyouya a bottle of water and put a cool wet cloth on his forehead. "Just lay here quietly and I'll be back to check on you."

"Nurse!" called out Kassanoda as he poked his head into the room. "Class 1-D needs your help. There has been a fight and we need you."

Both nurses looked at one another before rushing out of the room. They called to the hosts to stay where they were until they came back.

"Class 1-D is messing with our thing here!" Tamaki shouted once they were alone. "What kind of idiots' fake illness?"

"Tama-chan we're doing that now," Honey said. "We got hurt on purpose so the nurse-sans can take care of us."

Haruhi shook her head. "I think it's shameful that all of you are taking advantage of their kindness."

"You're one to talk."

"I…I was missing my mom." Haruhi mumbled blushing.

"I can understand Tama-chan, Takashi, and Haru-chan but why are you pretending to be sick Kyo-chan?" Honey asked.

Kyouya stayed quiet. He did not want to tell them that he wanted the new nurse to take care of him. Needless to say that his illness was truly that…an illness. He had not taken a break during gym class.

The door opened and the hosts quickly let out loud groans.

"Nurse are you here?" Hikaru called out he looked around the room and saw the hosts were there. "Oh it's you guys…I forgot that it was Monday."

"What are you doing here Hikaru?" Tamaki asked. "And why do you have a girl?"

"She was hurt," Hikaru explained. "I brought her here so the nurse could check on her. I really think she hit her head hard because she keeps leaning against my chest and zoning out."

"I see," Tamaki shook his head. "Well the nurses are busy with Class 1-D right now…you'll have wait unfortunately."

"Aww man really?" Hikaru sighed. "Guess I'll have to wait…I just hope that this girl won't die in my arms."

The nurse returned and took note of Hikaru. "Oh my Hitachiin are you ok?" she asked. "Let me guess another case of twinitius?"

Hikaru shook his head. "No," he stood up with Christy still in his arms. "She tripped and hit her head in the café today. I brought her here."

"I see," the nurse looked at Christy and noticed her flushed face. "Please bring her to a spare bed over here."

Hikaru followed the nurse.

"Nagami-san can you care for my other patients?" asked the nurse.

"Yes Kiriko." a large muscular man entered the room wearing a male nurse uniform. He took note of the hosts and smiled. "All right who is worst off?"

Tamaki got out of bed quickly. "What do you know, it's a miracle I am fine!" he took off out of the room like a shot.

"Me too me too!" Honey rushed out of the room after Tamaki.

"Mitsukuni wait for me!" Mori ran out of the room after removing the bandages from his head.

"Uhh I don't miss my mom anymore," Haruhi ran out of the room.

"Would you look at that…? I made a speedy recovery." Kyouya put his glasses on and took off out of the room as well.

Nagami smirked. He knew that the hosts were faking and the moment he came into the room they would suddenly recover and run out of the room to avoid being taken care of by him.

"You may go now Hitachiin," Kiriko smiled gently. "She'll be ok and thank you for bringing her here. You really are a sweet boy."

Hikaru blushed and looked away. "I just didn't want her to die…," he mumbled before leaving the room.

Kiriko shook her head and then smiled. "I take It you're suffering from love sickness?" she asked Christy.

"No, I hit my head." Christy insisted.

"You don't fool me," Kiriko giggled. "The flushed face, the way your temperature is rising and falling and I think I can hear you heart beating against your chest. You have a crush on Hitachiin don't you?"

Christy blushed more but nodded. "Yeah…is it that obvious?"

"Not at all," Kiriko said. "Most of the time we girls feel so strongly for someone that we just end up wanting to spend a little time with them even if they don't notice it."

"I don't know if he'll ever notice how I feel about him," Christy whispered. "I've liked Hikaru since the moment he set foot in the café…he's so wonderful!"

"Well you should tell him," Kiriko said. "I am sure he'd be glad to know there is a girl that likes him."

"Are you kidding?!" Christy cried. "Every girl that goes to the host club likes him! I don't think I'd stand a chance."

"Then you try to let him see your potential," Kiriko stood up as the door to the room opened and she saw Chairman Suou enter. "Oh dear, Chairman is something wrong?"

"We need to talk."

"Right," Kiriko smiled. "Malone-san if you're feeling better you may go now."

"Yes ma'am." Christy stood up and left the room. She felt renewed about how she would confess to Hikaru. She did however wonder what the chairman wanted to speak with the nurse about. All she heard was Anne-Sophie, France and visit. Oh well it was none of her business.
