Okay so yay… I totally forgot all about this (just being truthful here) well until I noticed in my email box that someone favorite this and then I realized… I still haven't finished this. *hides from angry readers… if I have any left* X.X
I'm not even gonna try to explain myself cus I am such a fail.
~Nelson's POV
Not much has been happening since the Dark Magic Club and now, besides Tamaki ranting on and on about some festival and Ran finally coming back there hasn't been much. Rina and the twins enjoyed annoying me as usual and everything seemed to be same old same old… and I hated it. I mean this club seemed to never leave me alone and now all of a sudden it just became some sort of everyday thing.
"Today we shall have fun by going outside." Tamaki said forcing everyone to carry things down the MANY staircases while he watched smiling at his amazing idea.
I glared at him as he sat on a couch. "Get off your butt oh Loyal Pain and help out." I said throwing a pillow at his head.
His hair was messy for the first time… and that made him super mad. "I can't tend to my guests if I look like some messy slob."
Rolling my eyes I walked away. Haruhi was carrying a box of china carefully. Walking next to her I smiled and asked, "So how's your dad been?"
"Okay… some old some old, I guess." She always hated talking about her life at home and stuff. Her dad was her least favorite subject of all, just like me.
"He still… ya know… dresses like a woman?"
I had only met her dad once and that was totally by mistake. He was leaving a bar and tripped on his high heel. I just happened to be walking by and saw him trying to pick up his coins. So being "nice" I bent down to help, I handed him the coins and without knowing I said, "Here you are lady." He smiled at me and once he stood up to take the money. Just then Haruhi came out of nowhere and said, "Hey Dad, sorry I'm late." The word Dad rang in my head. I gave him the money and said sorry, then bolted away before they could say anything.
We reached the garden without breaking anything, thankfully. I mean those evil twins were trying to make me trip the entire time, and almost succeeded. The last thing I needed was a giant debt to pay.
Setting everything up for hosting hours I began to wonder what the heck my family was up to, since me and Haruhi were on the topic of parents. My mom was probably baking, her new meaning in life since I started high school, my dad was sleeping, and Zen… Zen was probably beating some kid up for some reason that is unknown to all. Haruhi was lucky to have the most normal family here, I mean I guess having a dad being a cross dresser is hard, but not as hard as being the kid of killers.
"Hey!" Turning my head I saw Ran running towards me. "Nelson!" She tackled hug me.
Pushing her off I tried to relax. "Yes?" With that one word… my voice did a new talent, cracked. It was so loud in the peaceful garden that everyone stopped and looked right at me. Great.
Tamaki put an arm around my shoulder, "Ah youth! I remember begin young like you Nelson… I think it's time for a man to man talk." Oh God no! I ran for it, the picture of Tamaki giving me any "talk" gave me goosebumps.
"Hey there little man." Rina said close-lining me with her arm. "You aren't gonna skip out now are you?" Her smile looked normal enough to anyone who didn't know her… too bad I knew her and her smiling was like watching someone telling you all the horrible deaths that will happen to you if you didn't do what they said.
Standing up I tried to avoid her (and Tamaki) and get ready for the customers. Rina had been… weirder than usual. I mean if smiling is bad enough, she has been saying "nice" things. Maybe things weren't completely normal because of Rina. Ever since the whole Black Magic Club scared me she tried to scare me twice as much!
"Oi, slave, come over here." Rina said sitting on a couch as I tried to make my customers happy. She was
Looking over at her I sighed. "I'm busy; I have other people to attend to other than you oh Royal Pain." Maybe me trying to stand up for myself wasn't such a great idea... She managed to get me to come over in the end. "What is it?"
"What is tomorrow?" She had got to be kidding me!
"Tomorrow… Saturday… What is there something important?" Truthfully I knew what tomorrow was… her birthday. She hated it whenever I did something for her, no seriously she did. Back when I was little I had gotten her a Diary because I had thought girls like that kind of thing… she used the book to hit me and then explained how birthdays are stupid like she always does on her birthday. The year after that I got her a bunch of flowers, in return she shoved them down my throat. There are more, but lets just say I am never getting her any toys, music, books, flowers, or anything that could ever be used to hurt me again!
Rina looked at me seriously. "It's Ran's birthday idiot, and she wanted me to invite you to a…"
I cut in happily. "Really? What is it? I'll come!" I smiled big at the thought of being alone with Ran on her birthday. Just then I realized, they shared the same birthday!
"Shut up you stupid hormonal boy!" She proceeded to hit my head with such great force that I fell to the ground, with a stupid grin on my face… I was so happy that I could be there with Ran on her birthday I didn't care what Rina did to me. "It's a dinner at our apartment from 5:00pm to the unknown, don't be late or else."
She got up to leave me in my fantasy….
"Hello there beautiful." I said leaning down to Ran's eye level. "I didn't know what to get you, so I thought you might want a kiss from me instead."
Rina smiled sweetly. "Oh Nelson!"
"Ran!"
Romantic slow mo running scene (A/N: Which makes absolutely no sense since he was so close to her a moment ago when he leaned down to her eye level… oh such a fantasy…)
"Nelson!"
"Ran!"
"What is Nelly doing?" Honey asked Rina.
Rina looked at me as I still smiled so big at the thought of Ran. "Honey… there are some things in this world that weren't meant to ever be born, and one of those things is that puppy love boy who should be on a tight leash." Rina walked away upset.
Later that day I walked home skipping at the thought of picking out Ran's birthday present. This was going to be amazing! Suddenly I noticed Haruhi walking ahead of me. I ran towards her and smiled. "Hello Haruhi, isn't it a wonderful day?" (A/N: Sorry to be adding so many Author Notes, but I just realized that this moment reminds me so much of a video on YouTube called "[BTS] Tamaki's Great Day"…. WATCH IT!)
"Nelson… are you okay?" She looked at me worried.
Smiling big I said, "I'm gonna be celebrating Ran's birthday tomorrow, so I'm going to buy her a gift."
Haruhi smiled at me for a moment before saying, "Well you seem happy… so what are you going to get her?"
I froze. "I… I am horrible at buy gifts." All my memorizes of Rina came to mind… me buying girls gifts wasn't good apparently.
"Well what does Ran like?" She asked trying to be helpful.
Ran… Ran… she was hyper and fun… she liked… "I have no clue."
Haruhi laughed and said, "I'll help you then, I just need to stop by my place."
I hugged her. "You are a life savoir."
We hurried off to her house, which wasn't too far away. Her father usually worked late at night so I wasn't surprised to see him inside the kitchen drinking instant coffee with his hair all messy and no makeup on.
"Haruhi!" He ran to his daughter and tried to hug her, but she ducked and hurried off to her room to grab something.
She had left me… alone… with her father!
"He..Hello!" I said bowing respectfully. "I'm Nelson, I don't know if you know me…. I'm Haruhi's friend!"
He looked me over and smiled at me… somehow his smile reminded me of Rina's smile. "I am Ryoji Fujioka, Haruhi's father, but you can call me Ranka. So how do you know my darling daughter again?"
I took a step back, how could he be so much like Rina? "Ummm… I go to the same school as her, I live near the area and we are both the top students… and ummm… I work at the host club…"
Suddenly, his mood changed. "The host club! How has Kyoya been? I miss them all so much, well almost all of them… that King of the Fools is someone I could live without. Are you anything like that stupid daughter stealer?"
"No!" I said getting more and more worried, he looked like he was ready to throw me out the window if I gave the wrong answer.
Smiling again he said, "Good!"
"Dad, me and Nelson are going to be looking for a gift for a girl he likes." Haruhi said coming back.
My face went bright red. "Haruhi!" My voice cracked again.
Ranka smirked and said, "Nothing to worry about, I understand completely…" He pulled me to the side and whispered, "Just as long as you stay away from my Haruhi."
"Understood Sir!" I said bowing again.
Haruhi grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the house. I could tell that Ranka didn't like me too much.
"Sorry about him, he's just a weirdo." Haruhi said hurrying towards the stores.
I laughed and said, "He's just worried about you, I can understand."
We walked on to more stores and looked at all sorts of things that she might like. Toys, games, accessories, books, music... EVERYTHING! But nothing looked amazing for the girl that I loved. It has to be the best gift ever.
After three hours of looking at things Haruhi ended up having to leave me to do her homework... I still had no clue what to get her! I hurried into a store that had jewelry.
"Hello there, can I help you?" A clerk asked me as soon as I entered.
"Umm... I am looking for something a friend would like..."
She smiled and asked, "Is this for your girlfriend?"
"No! Umm... at least not yet." I said going red in the face.
Laughing she led me towards her table. "We just got two new sets that are perfect for special occasions." She hurried and brought back four small boxes. "There are made to be in a set, but you can buy it separately if you want." She opened the first two. "This is a simple necklace and matching ring." It was bright pink flowers that look amazing! Opening the second she added, "This necklace and ring has two hearts meaning together forever, but I guess you can say that this one if more meant for couples who are already dating." The ring looked familiar... I had seen that necklace somewhere before, I had bought someone that before...
"How new is that design?" I asked pointing at the hearts.
"That design is very popular; we have had it for many years. But this is our new addition, our first one..." She pulled a different box and opened it, "Our first one was designed by the founder of the company for his wife when they got married; each necklace and ring had a heart with wings on it to say that love can soar." She set it aside and added, "They are very expensive since they are no longer made."
I looked at the necklace and remembered getting one for Rina back when they were cheaper... I HAD GOTTEN RINA A NECKLACE THAT MEANT ABOUT LOVE SOARING? No wonder why she hated it... But then again she never threw it at me (she beat me to a pulp); she just shoved it into her pocket... I wonder if she has it.
"So what do you like?" I looked at the newer necklace and ring... But my eyes went over to the old one, and the ring... I could always buy the matching ring for Rina, and the new necklace and ring for Ran. I opened my wallet and noticed I didn't have nearly enough for both ring and necklace if I was going to get Rina that ring...
Rina wouldn't even like the ring anyways, she hates celebrating her birthday anyway. I walked out of the store a poor man, I wonder if I made the right choice? I mean what if it was all for nothing? I walked home worried.
My mom was baking like I thought she would be, my dad was asleep like I thought, and Zen he was beating up some kid for some unknown reason...
"STOP HITTING ME!" I yelled at Zen as he continued to beat me up for some unknown reason. Gosh I hate it when I'm right.
