I'm American I know nothing about France.
I'm totes down for song requests but Simple Plan ain't really his style.
Xavier looks like a blond Matt Healy when Matty has his hair pushed back, except he's not as short as him. He's like, two inches shorter than the twins. You should watch the 'Girls' by the 1975 music video. Do it.
Thank you so much for reviewing and favoriting and following this story! It really means a lot to me!
Xavier pulled his tie, loosening it as he entered the club room. He only had a few more days until summer break, but he didn't know if he could make it.
"He already has his bags packed." Renge told the others when he went to put his things up. "He's very excited. We're heading out the second school lets out. Haruhi, you should come and visit us."
"Haruhi doesn't have a passport, so I'm afraid he can't visit." Kyoya said with a smirk.
"I'll get you a passport, don't you worry." Yuukio declared, nodding her head. "You shouldn't have to be stuck here your whole break!"
"No no, it's fine, really." Haruhi said, knowing if Yuukio got her a passport, she would know that Haruhi was a girl. The other members thought the same thing. "You haven't told her?" Haruhi mumbled to Kaoru. "You are her boyfriend.."
"It just hasn't come up." He whispered, sighing.
"I don't think it'll ever just 'come up'." Hikaru joined in.
"What's coming up?" Xavier questioned, joining them. He looked confused when they all jumped back, laughing nervously. "Weird asses." He grumbled and trudged off, plopping down on his usual couch, stretching out. Since it was so close to summer break, clubs were on break, but the Host Club still met up anyway to discuss their plans for the summer. Xavier just yawned and closed his eyes, fully intended on napping.
"Wake up!" Renge exclaimed, hitting him with a pillow. "Don't be such a lazy bum!"
"I stayed up late! Let me sleep!" He exclaimed, swatting her away. He groaned when someone pounced on him. "Who the hell is bugging me now?" He opened his eyes, staring straight at Hikaru. "G-Get off!" He exclaimed, blushing as Hikaru just grinned.
"Nah." He shrugged, laying on top of him. "You're pretty comfy and I do need a nap." He joked, resting his chin on Xavier's chest.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He just stared at Hikaru, uncomfortable beyond belief.
"He's so uncomfortable he can't even move." Yuukio chuckled, smiling at the two.
"I'm just taking a nappppp." Hikaru was having too much fun teasing Xavier, but he was going to have to go his whole summer break without seeing the male, so he was trying to have as much fun as he could before the break started.
"Please get off." He whined, unable to push the male off of him. Hikaru looked slim, but he was heavy like a boulder when he didn't want to move. It pissed him off, because he knew he was stronger than the twin.
"Awah, you don't like being this close to me?" Hikaru asked with a pout.
"He's enjoying himself too much." Renge sighed as Xavier struggled to get up, but Hikaru kept him pinned down.
"He's going to be happy to have a break from us, I bet." Kaoru said as the two continued to fight.
Hikaru groaned, bored to death. It was day three of summer vacation and he was in Paris, France, with nothing to do. His mother was doing a fashion show here, and Yuukio was a part of it, so of course Kaoru tagged along, which meant Hikaru came as well.
"What's wrong?" Kaoru asked, coming out of the bathroom of their hotel. Yuukio followed him out. This would be strange, but, her bedroom connected to theirs by the bathroom. It was the last room available since the fashion show brought a lot of people to the city.
"Bored." He grumbled. "I don't have Xavier to torture." He drew little circles in the sheets of the bed. He had stayed cooped up in the hotel room because he could barely speak French and the others were worried he'd get lost in the city if he went out by himself. "No fun when he's not around to bug." He was missing Xavier more than he thought he would. The thought of a long summer break without him just seemed depressing.
"You miss him?" Kaoru questioned, not very surprised.
"I don't miss him." Hikaru muttered, embarrassed. Okay, he did miss him. "I miss bugging him."
Yuukio and Kaoru exchanged looks. "You do know he lives a few blocks away, right?" Yuukio questioned and Hikaru sat up instantly.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I got his address and everything. At this time of the morning, he should just be getting up. Do you want to go visit him?" She asked, knowing what his answer would be.
"So he lives here?" The twins questioned together, looking up at the building. They had gone through security and were now standing at the front door, looking up at the large blue building. They heard yelling from inside, but Hikaru couldn't understand it. Yuukio knocked on the door and a man answered it. He had light brown hair tied back in a small ponytail, with gray eyes. He looked to be pretty young, maybe in his thirties.
"Hello, can I help you with something?" He questioned as they heard Xavier yell in the background. "Xavier!" He shouted back and was hit in the head with a piece of toast.
"Yup, right house." Yuukio said, hearing Xavier curse at him in French. "We're that idiot's friends from Japan. I'm Yuukio and this is Kaoru and Hikaru." She introduced themselves. He smiled and shook their hands.
"That idiot is my nephew. I'm his mother's brother. I guess you're used to his behavior. Come on in. You can call me Jackal." He let them into the house, which was beautiful. Xavier was munching on a piece of toast with baggy sweatpants on and nothing else. He looked miserable as he was scolded by an older maid. "Xavier, your friends are here."
"What friends?" He muttered as the maid yanked his ear and pulled him out into the foyer to greet them. "What the hell are you guys doing here?" He asked in Japanese, so Hikaru could understand.
"Came to visit. Hikaru was bored and wanted to harass you." Yuukio smirked.
"I get harassed here enough as it is." He glared at the maid and pulled away from her. "I really don't need anyone else harassing me."
"Oh, lighten up. It's good to know you made friends." Jackal put his arm around Xavier's shoulders. "Are they going out with you and Monique today?"
"Like I know." Xavier shrugged off the man's arm and started up the stairs. "Are you following or not?" He grumbled, turning towards the trio. They seemed surprised, but followed him up the stairs.
"You have a lot of maids." Kaoru noted as they passed by them. They all just looked at Xavier, who was ignoring them.
"They all suck." He told them. "Except for Ms. Clarisse." He said over his shoulder as he stopped at a black door. He pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door, letting them in. The room was much larger than his other one. All the walls were covered with posters and magazine cut outs. He had two large shelves filled with cds and musical instruments scattered around the room. He locked the door behind him and set the key on his large desk, covered with sheet music and cords for different things.
"Still a mess." Yuukio grumbled, sitting on his messed up bed. "Why do you have a lock on your door?"
"Because the maids like to stick their noses in places it doesn't belong." He grumbled, going through his clothes in his closet while the twins examined his room. "What do you guys want, anyway? To cause me more misery? The maids here are doing a pretty good job of it."
"Like I said, Hikaru was bored, and we missed you." Yuukio shrugged.
"I doubt you missed me." He muttered, picking through shirts. "They've gone through my stuff, again. It all smells like lavender." He sniffed a shirt before pulling it on. "Bet they threw out all my ripped pants…." He trudged over to his dresser to see if he was right.
"Well thank god." Yuukio said at that. "They're obviously just trying to help your fashion sense."
"And what's wrong with lavender? It smells nice." The twins said.
"That's not the point. The point is I hate it when they touch my stuff. I am my own capable person, I can do things myself. They treat me like I'm still a child half the time. They all yelled at me for not eating much this morning, but I never eat a large breakfast. They used to force me when I was younger, now they're just pissed I don't take their shit anymore." He grabbed a pair of pants and went into his bathroom to change and do his hair.
"I'm sure they're just worried about you." Yuukio said, hoping to make him feel better.
"They should be worried about my mental health." He rolled his eyes while styling back his hair. "It's whatever though. I won't be here for too long." They could hear him pulling his pants before brushing his teeth.
"Guess the couple of days haven't been the greatest..?" Kaoru questioned, almost afraid to ask.
"I've considered jumping off the Eiffel Tower a few times." He said coming back into the room to put on some shoes. "But I know Stella would murder me." He plopped on his bed to put on his socks and shoes. "I know you all didn't come around to listen about my shitty maids and childhood, so what's up?"
"Can we hang with you today?" Yuukio asked as sweetly as she could. "I want to meet Monique!"
"Uh…..well….I don't know. I'm sure it'll be fine since we spent the last two days alone together. I guess she should meet you guys since I've talked about you."
"Oh, you talked about us?" Hikaru asked with a smirk.
"Badly." Xavier said with a small smile as Hikaru frowned at him. He ran his hands through his hair with a small sigh. "Well, c'mon. I guess you all could meet her." He gave in and they all smiled, following him out of his room and down the stairs. "Told her I'd meet her at the tower." He said as the guards let them out of gate. "Keep up." He called over his shoulder as he dashed across the street. He had picked back up on city life easily, and the others could note how his French accent was coming through.
"There you are!" A girl exclaimed loudly as they approached the towel. She had chestnut colored hair that was up in two high pigtails and was curled at the ends. She had straight bangs and dark green eyes. Her skin was tan and she was absolutely beautiful in her pink floral dress. "Who are they?"
"Sorry I'm late, babe." Xavier apologized, leaning in to kiss her cheek. "These are my friends from Japan, Yuukio, Kaoru, and Hikaru." He introduced them. She smiled widely and shook their hands.
"I'm Monique! Zavy has told me so much about you guys!" She said and Kaoru had to translate it to Hikaru, who didn't seem so eager to meet her.
"He's told us so much about you. You're much prettier in person." Yuukio said, trying to be nice.
"Oh, I am." Monique smirked, flipping on of her pigtails over her shoulder before she latched on to Xavier's arm. "Baby, let's just hang around today. I don't feel like doing anything too fancy."
"Whatever you wanna do." He shrugged, letting her snuggle up to him.
"Let's go to the tower! Have you three ever been up there?" She questioned, turning to the three as they walked towards the Eiffel Tower.
"I have, it's beautiful." Yuukio said, not letting Monique's rudeness affect her mood.
"We haven't. We don't usually come to France with our mother when she's on business." Kaoru said, since Hikaru couldn't speak well enough.
"Then this will be fun! I'm so glad you're back home baby. I missed you!" She giggled and Xavier looked embarrassed at how affectionate she was being.
"You must be in a good mood." He mumbled to her. Yuukio saw the flash on anger on her face before she smiled at him again. "Uh, I missed you too, but I already told you that the other day."
"It's nice to hear it." She said through gritted teeth, not being as friendly as she came off. "We can eat at the restaurant in the tower too. It'll be fun!"
"She's pretty nice." Kaoru said in Japanese, looking to Yuukio and Hikaru as the couple walked ahead of them.
"No." Yuukio growled, crossing her arms. "Something is wrong about her. She's as fake as Barbie."
Lunch wasn't as bad as Yuukio thought it would be. They didn't have much time to talk since they were eating, and their food came surprisingly fast. She assumed it was because the wait staff knew who Xavier's mother was. Nonetheless, it was nice, and seeing the view from atop of the tower made the twins happy.
"We should go to Jadin Du Luxembourg or maybe Île de la Cité !" Monique exclaimed as they left the tower. She was still clinging onto Xavier, and Yuukio could tell he wasn't used to her being like this.
"Whatever makes you happy, babe." He shrugged, letting her pull him around.
"So, Monique, what do you like to do for fun?" Yuukio asked, trying to get to know her better.
"I like to play the flute." She said and Yuukio cringed. Flute players were either cool, or really, really annoying. "I wanted Xavier to write sheet music from one of my favorite songs for flute, but he said he couldn't."
"Flute is too high and the song is just too low. It won't sound right." He told her, glancing to her.
"What song is it?" Kaoru asked while Hikaru just trudged along beside him.
"Homewrecker." Monique answered. "It's by Marina and the Diamonds."
"Oh! I love her! I really love that song too." Yuukio seemed excited, but Monique did not. "It is a low song…"
"It is. I could easily write it for cello, if you want." Xavier offered and Yuukio nodded her head. Monique gripped his arm tighter, angry. "Sorry, babe, but the flute is too high pitched."
Hikaru couldn't really understand what any of them were saying, but he knew Monique wasn't being nice by the way she was glaring at Xavier. He was starting to feel like a fifth wheel, but at least Kaoru and Yuukio were interacting with him as they walked around the park, taking it all in. Every time Xavier tried to talk to them, Monique would whine about something.
"So, Hikaru, do you not speak French?" Monique asked him, in French. He just stared at her, trying to figure out what she had said.
"No, he's shit at French." Xavier answered for him. "He speaks Japanese, of course, and English, right?" He glanced to Hikaru, then to Kaoru, who nodded his head for his brother. "French isn't his strong point. It pisses him off when I speak it and he has no clue what I'm saying." He chuckled and Monique laughed, but it was fake.
Yuukio just sighed, not enjoying herself much. She was trying to be positive and talk to Monique, but it was hard to get along with the girl. It seemed she had something snarky to say about everything. It would sound like she said something nice, but you could tell it was dripping with venom. She had no clue how Xavier put up with it, at all. It was stressing her out, because Xavier, whether he liked it or not, was now one of her close friends, and she couldn't stand seeing him in a relationship like this. Monique was a fake flower coated with perfume that gave you a headache with every whiff.
"Relax." Kaoru said, holding her hand. He could tell Yuukio was having a hard time with Monique, everyone could. Xavier even looked embarrassed at how Monique was speaking to them. She obviously didn't want the others there with how much she was hugging onto Xavier. It was really pissing Hikaru off, he didn't know why.
"I'm trying." She said and she was happy that Monique couldn't speak Japanese. "It's just difficult."
"I hate her." Hikaru declared, crossing his arms. "I hate how she sounds. It's annoying and high pitched. She's just fake."
"Exactly." Yuukio agreed, nodding her head. "Xavier is surprised at how affectionate she's being, she's obviously putting on an act."
"Zavy, we should go put a padlock on the Pont de l'Archevêché!" She exclaimed happily.
"Uh, yeah, maybe later." He didn't seem as excited to do it.
"Why not now? Don't you love me?" She questioned, furrowing her brows.
"Yeah, of course I do, Mona. We don't have a padlock to put on the bridge though." He told her, making perfect sense. She huffed, not pleased with his answer. Xavier just sighed, looking away from her.
