"You should be hangin' off of dove." Xavier felt like he had said this before to Hikaru, but the male just wasn't getting it. Hikaru became more attached to Xavier over the weekend. Xavier was fine with it, but at the same time, he wasn't.

"I'm hanging out with her today after club. She was busy this whole weekend." Hikaru complained, sighing as they walked into the club room. Xavier spilt from him, going out on the balcony to have a quick smoke. He wasn't supposed to do it, but if you opposed it you'd get a death glare from him and his glares were piercing.

"You two are best friends?" Monique asked Hikaru, sipping her tea. Renge hadn't joined her yet and was approaching them with two plates with pieces of cake on them.

"Yeah, we are." He mumbled, not wanting to talk to her. She looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Problem with that?"

"No." She said, but it was obvious she had something she wanted to say. "Just don't get too used to having him around." She eyed him before looking back to her tea, taking a small sip of it.

"What does that mean?" Hikaru questioned but Xavier came back in at this moment and Monique just returned to her attention to Renge. Hikaru felt Xavier's hand pat his shoulder as he walked by to go to his couch. He turned his attention from Monique to Xavier, then to Haruhi as she walked by him. He followed after her eagerly.

"So, boss man, what do you have planned for the week?" Xavier questioned Tamaki, ready to go home. "Got a conference call to make with the mates and this is cutting into the time we have for it."

"We should do a police man theme one day!" Tamaki said, thinking it was an amazing idea.

"Okay this is going nowhere." Xavier stood, wanting to go home to talk to Vinny, Stella, and Isaac. "I'm shoving off."

"But it's still club time! You can't leave!" Tamaki exclaimed and Xavier just picked up his bag up.

"Yeah, no, sorry mate. I've got plans and it's not like I will really get a say in the themes this week. See you lot tomorrow." Monique rolled her eyes and Xavier caught it, giving her a glare.

"We should do a karaoke theme or something!" Renge suggested, trying to come up with a different idea.

"Xavier is the only one who can sing." Haruhi said, not liking the idea.

"Mona can sing too!" Renge exclaimed, smiling at her best friend. Xavier sighed, looking away from them with a pissed off expression.

"Unfortunately." Xavier grumbled, not happy Renge was pulling this stunt. Singing was his thing. "All she does is ruin amazing Taylor Swift songs." Xavier loved Taylor Swift, Unfortunately, so did Mona.

"I do not!" She exclaimed, glaring at Xavier. "I love Tay and I rock her songs. At least I don't sing the same depressing songs over and over again. The 1985? That's the band you're obsessed with, right?"

"The 1975!" He shouted and the two were at each other's throats, fighting over musicians and each other's taste in music.

"We're doing karaoke! I'll call someone about it when club is over and make sure I get the most modern machine!" Renge was just adding fuel to this fire.

"Oh joy, I get to listen to the sugar sweet pop star all day tomorrow." Xavier poked at Monique and she wanted to punch him.

"And I have to listen to the same old 'I hate this town I wanna leave' music you always listen to. Or the 'sex, alcohol, drugs' theme." Monique shot back, crossing her arms.

A growl came out of Xavier's throat and he looked so frustrated. "Fuck this." He turned and stormed towards the door.

"Oh yeah, run off like you always do." She called out to him. He flipped her off and slammed the door behind him.

"Karaoke time!" Renge squealed the next day in the club, standing up on stage with the tv prompter on her right and the speakers on each side and a mic in her hand.

Tamaki went up and sang, making a fool of himself, and the twins went up together with a few guests, singing a couple of love songs. It was actually a lot of fun until Renge pushed for Mona to go up there.

"You can sing?" Abby questioned and Mona nodded her head and smiled at her, making Abby giggle. All the younger girls loved Monique, which didn't surprise Xavier one bit. She was beautiful, talented, was a new student, and despite the ugly yellow dresses they had to wear, she was extremely fashionable.

Xavier hated how popular she was.

Mona scrolled through the list of songs on the tv screen before selecting one. The music started and Xavier inwardly groaned. Of course, Taylor Swift.

"People like you always want back the love they gave away, and people like me wanna believe when you say you've changed. The more I think about it now, the less I know. All I know is that you drove us off the road! Hey, all you had to do was stay. Had me in the palm of your hands, then why'd you have to go and lock me out while I let you in? Hey! Now you say you want it back, now that it's just too late, well could have been easy." She sang, her voice was light and beautiful.

"Oh wow." Misaki said in awe, watching Monique sing and put on a little show. Once she was done, the club clapped and she curtsied, smiling brightly.

"Oi, me next." Xavier knew she sang that song for him, trying to rile him up.

It worked.

He scrolled through the list, smirking as he picked his song and it started. She sat at her table and her faced turned sour when she recognized the song.

"Nice to meet you, where you been? I can show you incredible things. Magic, madness, heaven, sin, saw you there and I thought 'oh my god, look at that face! You look like my next mistake.' Love's a game, wanna play?" He sang, smirking at her face.

"How dare he sing Taylor Swift." She growled, balling her fists.

"Ain't it funny, rumors fly, and I know you heard about me. So hey, let's be friends, I'm dying to see how this one ends. Grab your passport and my hand, I can make the good girls bad for a weekend!" He winked at Abby and she squealed.

"I like this." Hikaru smirked, angering Mona further. It rbought him joy to see how angry Monique was getting at this, but what did she expect? If she was going to throw shade, Xavier was going to throw it back even harder.

"Got a long list of ex-lovers. They'll tell you I'm insane, but I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name. Girls only want love if it's torture. Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you. Girls only want love if it's torture. Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you!"

"He has an amazing vocal range." Haruhi said, impressed with his voice.

"All those years at that school did him well." Tamaki was also impressed.

"But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name." He finished and chuckled, jumping off the stage to return to his guests. "How was that, love?"

"That was wonderful!" Abby exclaimed and the others saw the look he and Monique shot each other.

"Just what happened between you two?" Kaoru questioned, not understanding it at all. Mona furrowed her brows and stood up, stomping over to the stage. She quickly went up the few steps and went over to the screen, thumbing for a song. When she picked one, she grabbed the mic as the song began to play.

"Flashing lights and we took a wrong turn and we fell down a rabbit hole. You held on tight to me, cause nothing's as it seems and spinning out of control. Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't you flash your green eyes at me? Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds? Didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twistin' 'round me. I should have slept with one eye open at night! We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it and we pretended it could last forever."

Xavier leaned back on the couch, crossing his arms as she sang, rolling his eyes at her. He was getting tired of her and the tension was getting too thick at home and he couldn't handle it anymore.

"I reached for you but you were gone. I knew I had to go back home. You searched the world for something else to make you feel like what we had, and in the end in Wonderland we both went mad."

He sighed as he saw her face and rubbed his temples, feeling tired. He was sick of fighting with her on this. It was almost two years ago and she needed to let it go. He had let it go, why couldn't she? She finished her song and returned to her seat. Kaoru looked a little confused, but he was putting the lyrics together in his head to make out what their relationship was like.

"That's it." He grumbled, tired of this. Monique was going to play victim no matter what he said, but it didn't mean he was going to sit down and take it. "Let me do a song for my version of the relationship." He got up and headed over to the stage. He scrolled through the list of songs, before stopping on 'W.D.Y.W.F.M.?' and hitting play.

"Two nights ago, she got that look in her eyes. Kaleidoscope, but that's only half the time. Three days before she told me that I don't even try. She's crazy, though, I guess there's something wrong inside." He sang, the song slow and fitting to Xavier. "Maybe you're right, maybe this is all that I can be. But what if it's you, and it wasn't me? What do you want from me? What do you want from me?"

"Four weeks ahead, I thought that I should think some more. I'm fucked in the head, and my mind is turning into a whore. Five months go by, and I thought about letting her go. She's crazy, though, and I guess she took control. Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no." He shook his head, giving her a disapproving look. "Maybe she's right, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we'll fight 'til it move us along. I can't deny writing this song. Hoping she'll find she's not alone. Maybe you're right, maybe this is all that I can be. But what if it's you, and it wasn't me? What do you want from me? What do you want from me?"

He jumped off the stage again, pleased with himself.

"Don't you come over too much?" Monique questioned Hikaru as they walked up the stairs of Renge and Xavier's home. Renge was checking with the maid to make sure she brought up the right tea for her and Monique to drink, and Xavier was grabbing a snack from the kitchen. He had given Hikaru the key to his room so he could go ahead and roll around on the bed like he liked to do.

"Least I didn't move in." Hikaru replied, not letting her bother him. They got to the top of the stairs and Hikaru whipped out the key, hurrying over to Xavier's black door. "Have fun with your tea and crumpets, mate." He stuck out his tongue as he unlocked the door. "Cheers." He went in and shut it behind, leaving her red faced in the hallway.

"So what did you do to Monique?" Xavier questioned when he entered the room, two sodas in one hand and a bowl of popcorn in the other. Hikaru wondered how he got the door open, but let it go when Xavier shut the door with his hips and put the rim of the bowl in his mouth, biting onto it to free his hand to lock the door.

"Nothing?" Hikaru questioned, sitting up on the bed with a small smirk as Xavier walked over. He took the bowl out of Xavier's mouth and took the sodas, setting them on the bed and freeing up Xavier.

"Thanks." He mumbled and started to loosen his tie. "You sure? Heard her bitching about it to Renge. Whatever you did, I'm proud of." He chuckled and started up his after school routine of smoking and changing clothes.

"She was just being a stuck up jerk. I'm not going to let her insult me."

"She insulted you?" Xavier asked, annoyed now. Monique needed to back off his friends or she was going to have issues.

"Sort of. I insulted her back so don't worry about it." Hikaru twisted the top of his soda and took a sip before grabbing some popcorn. "Why? You getting all protective?" He wiggled his eyebrows and Xavier put out his cigarette and went to change out of his uniform.

"No." He replied, because yeah, he was getting protective. The members of the Host Club were his friends and that meant that Monique couldn't talk shit about them without getting shit from him. After he changed he plopped down on the bed, taking some popcorn for himself.

"Yes you areeeeee!" Hikaru was having a ball with this. Xavier looked frustrated but Hikaru wasn't going to stop.

"You and the others are my mates." He grumbled, glancing at Hikaru. "I don't like it when people talk horribly about my mates."

"Awah!" Hikaru launched himself at Xavier, hugging the male. "You love us."

"Don't love ya mate." He sighed deeply, knowing he should be used to this by now, but he wasn't. God, Hikaru was so like Stella. Hikaru pushed himself up and sat in Xavier's lap, trying to get comfy.

"Hey lay back on the bed more. I can't get comfy." Hikaru complained and Xavier shot him a look. Hikaru returned it, so he gave in and scooted back onto the bed more until Xavier had his back against his pillows and headboard. Hikaru adjusted and sat on his lap, leaning back against his chest to watch tv. "Much better."

"Why?" Xavier asked and Hikaru glanced at him. "You're so touchy feely."

"I like to touch people." Hikaru told him. "Not like, pervertedly, but you get it."

"Ah, well, I like to touch people. Pervertedly." Xavier replied with a chuckle. Mona was making him feel stressed and he was feeling like he wanted to hear Hikaru's cute sounds he made when they were kissing. He needed a distraction.

"I wanna cuddle." Hikaru told him, too comfortable to move. Xavier wrapped his arms around Hikaru's waist and put his chin on Hikaru's head. "Much better." Hikaru relaxed against him, liking this.

Xavier felt awkward but at the same time this felt normal. It was like Vinny and Stella were cuddling him and he felt stable. "Whatever you want to do." Xavier said getting comfortable. This feeling wasn't going to last and tonight he could be a wreck but right now he wasn't.

"Told you I could do this friends with benefits thing." Hikaru told him reaching behind him to pat his check. He accidently hit Xavier's mouth instead.

"This is totally working." Xavier grumbled.
