Chapter 8: Host-Club

Once the bell rang, I bolted towards the place Kyoya and I were supposed to meet. The twins were still stalking me, despite the best efforts of their brunette friend, trying to get them to stop, and it was starting to freak me out. Kyoya gave me a weird look as I came around the corner, almost knocking him over. "Don't.. ask.." I panted, him smirking as he started walking.

The two of us walked towards the third music room, Kyoya listening intently whilst I explained how I knew Haruhi was a girl. He was pretty amazed at the end of it.. since nobody else had figured it out.. but I thought that was stupid, since it was bloody obvious. "So, why are we going after school? Are you guys in some sort of club?" Kyoya glanced at me, before pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

I was still swooning over him. "You'll see soon enough."

...

After being bombarded with questions from the Hitachiins, I was confused as to how I ended up sitting on a sofa, in-between the two ginger-heads and opposite the two third-years. Kyoya was off somewhere and the blonde guy was in the corner growing.. mushrooms? "So, you're Kyo-Chan's old friend?" I directed my gaze from the blonde one, who was still growing mushrooms in the corner and occasionally glancing back at me, to looking at the third-year eating a piece of cake.. These people were weird.

Nodding, I stared awkwardly at the floor. I wasn't good with new people to start with, and these guys were just insanely odd, so that made me even more on-edge.. I didn't even think Kyoya liked these sorts of people.. Them being childish, annoying.. kinda weird. "Yeah.. I used to know him ages ago, when I was seven or something." The boy shoved another piece of cake in his mouth. I watched him, until he asked if I wanted some. "Oh.. No, I'm good." I held my hand up.

It took a while for the tension to break.. but after a few more of the 'hosts' started talking about the club and asking me some kinder questions, I felt as if I had known the boys, and Haruhi, for ages. "Do you even know our names?" The smaller boy asked. I shook my head slowly. "Well.." He glanced around. "Those two are Kao-Chan and Hika-Chan." He pointed at the twins. They grinned at me.. I'd stay away from those two.

He then introduced me to Tamaki, who blatantly ignored me and continued growing mushrooms, Mori, who just gave me a grunt and Haruhi.. who I'd already met before. He then introduced himself as Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but I could call him Honey. I glanced around once more, before realising Honey had run off with Mori. I bit my lip and scouted the room for Kyoya, using him as a safe-place. I walked over and pulled up a chair, looking over his shoulder. "Hi."

Kyoya pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose again, before glancing at me. "Hello, Alex." He continued to type. I watched his fingers move, my mouth slightly open in a.. weird way. "So, I presume you've met anyone?" He closed whatever he was typing on and turned towards me. I glanced back, Tamaki now staring at me, before nodding. "Do excuse Tamaki. He's quite the child here." Kyoya explained, turning back to his computer. "And please, don't eat any of the mushrooms. They're poisonous."

"Didn't plan to.." I mumbled, watching as the blonde looked away. I turned back to the screen when I heard more typing. "What're you doing now?"

"Emailing your mother."

"What?!" I squeaked, looking at him.

"She asked me to give you an update, anyway.."

"Fine. Alright. Just don't embarrass me."

"When have I ever done that?"

...

After a long while of talking to everyone, a few girls walked in. Kyoya stayed with me at the computer table, whilst I watched the blonde that was growing mushrooms in a corner and glaring at me sprung to life. The odd aura was gone as he greeted the girls. "Kyo." He hummed as I tugged his sleeve. "What exactly is this club?" He glanced over at Tamaki, before he smirked.

"We refer to it as the host-club." My eyes widened a fraction and he smirked again. "Don't look so surprised, Alex. Tamaki and I created the club just before we graduated." I blinked, looking around. I had taken my eyes away for a few seconds, and, suddenly, the room was flooded with guests. They were all talking, drinking tea, eating cake.. in Honey's case. I blinked. I really didn't know what to do, apart from sit awkwardly with Kyoya.

"Kyoya!" Two girls squealed, completely ignoring me. I did the same, looking at his screen. "It's good to see you today!"

"As is it nice to see you." Just when I thought he was going to leave me with the safety of his computer, he pushed me off my chair and in the direction of the girls. My eyes widened in surprise and he just smiled. "This is a dear friend of mine, Alex. It'd be nice of you two if you could sit with him today." The girl looked at me, before their eyes lit up. I swallowed.. Were they like.. crazy fan-girls or something?

I glared at Kyoya as I slowly approached a table with the girls. I knew how to please people, such as my mother and father with little shows I'd often do when I got bored.. but entertain two girls for god-knows how long? How the hell did Kyoya expect me to do that? He flashed me a smirk, before returning to typing on his computer and scribbling on his clipboard. The other hosts were glancing at me, especially Tamaki.

"We heard you come from France!" One squealed. I nodded slowly. "It must be so nice there! Do you come from Paris?"

"Oui." Who knew a few French words could make a girl swoon. I linked my fingers together and rested my chin on the digits, glancing around for some sort of advice as the other hosts entertained. Hikaru and Kaoru seemed awfully close together, gay, even, which was slightly weird. Honey was smiling like a kid and eating cake, Mori sitting beside him with a stoic look on his face.. Haruhi was just talking and Tamaki seemed to be doing better then the rest of them.

The club went on in a blur and, before I knew it, Kyoya had sat down beside me. "Well, that was amusing to watch." He grinned, patting my on the head to let me know he was there.. even though I had heard the chair move and the comment. I groaned and leant my face in my hand, gripping my blonde locks softly. "What's the matter?" He looked at me funny.

"Nothing." I mumbled. "Why did you leave me with them.." I whined, resting my chin on my crossed forearms.

"Because I thought it'd do you good to get to know some people in the school." He defended with a shrug. "And it seemed the girls enjoyed talking to you."

I huffed, before I was bombarded by the twins. They swooped me up and hugged me from either side. "You know." One mumbled. "You're a really good host." Their eyes lit up and they looked over to the blonde one, who was talking with Haruhi. "Boss! We have an idea!" They shouted in unison. I glanced warily at Kyoya, who was just smirking, and then let them drag me over to Tamaki. "Since Alex is such a good friend to Kyoya, why doesn't he become a host?!"

"What? No, tha-!"

"That's a wonderful idea!" Tamaki cut off. He was smiling.. but, for some reason, I could just tell it was at me. A few minutes ago, he was glaring at me and sulking in a corner. And, suddenly, he made me blush. "Kyoya, what do you think?!"

"It's a brilliant idea." The grin on his face told me he wanted this more than I could comprehend. There was a weird, sappy look in his eyes that he only got back when we were children. His mother and father never noticed it and I was sure nobody else did.. but he only had the look in his eyes when he was with me. And for that, I was willing to put up with these idiots just to stay close to him.. And keep the sappy glint in those perfect eyes of his.


Mmm... So... My little Alex is going to join the host-club?! How amazing!
