Author's Note:

I'm sorry I've been busy and had the WORST writer's block, like ever (oh I've been so creatively drained lately T_T) and to top it all off I've been uber-busy. Gah.

And good news to all! LOSGAP has finally become a beta!!!

*meeps for joy*

I'm beta-ing for BlackWingzObi for her story "More Behind the Mask"- it is epic, and I am proud to beta it *wipes tear from eye*.

She's an epic authoress so you'd better read her story! :3

Well now that I've slowly numbed your brain cells, it's time to get back to the story so I can rot the rest of your brain cells! Yay!

LOSGAP =D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first time in just about forever, no one in the Host Club could say a word.

Silence lay over the room like a thick fog, but instead of deadening the senses it sharpened them- I felt like I could hear every breath taken- there was little of that though, since we were all holding our breaths to hear what everyone had to say.

"So you're not Sora and Kita Zawahira." One of the twins, Kaoru I believe, said slowly. "Your names are actually Alexis and Alena?" He asked and I nodded.

"I'm Alexis- call me Alex- and Kita's actually Alena." I explained and the twins nodded slowly. "I thought your voices sounded familiar." Hikaru said, a slow smile spreading on his face.

"You're superstars!" I felt a tiny projectile fly into me in a super-hug. "Alex-chan, Lena-chan, you both are famous! You're like heroes!" Hunny exclaimed, then he leaped over and gave Alena the same superstar glomp.

Alena smiled faintly and petted his head, but I noticed she had eyes only for Mori.

He was impassive, as per usual, but I could have sworn I saw something flicker through the depths of his eyes when he looked at Alena. I averted my eyes from the two of them, feeling like I was intruding somehow, and looked around the room for Tamaki.

I heard the door click shut and turned my head, realizing with a shock that he was gone.

OOO

"Sora! Er, Alex!" I heard Miki call after me as I turned and hurried to the door at the back of the room, realizing it led to a sort of meeting room, with a long table and some chairs arranged around it.

Tamaki was standing at the large window, his back to me and his face turned skyward. For a moment I considered turning around and leaving him, but I had to know what he thought of me now that he knew I wasn't who he thought I was.

Is he mad? I wondered as I took a few steps closer, trying to see his face.

"Is there anything else you've been lying to me about?" Tamaki asked quietly and I came to a halt. "I wasn't lying to you." I replied truthfully. "You lied about who you are." Tamaki responded, still not looking at me.

"I just wanted to start over." I said softly.

There was a long silence as I stared at the back of his head, hot tears pricking painfully behind my eyes as I blinked repeatedly, holding my breath and hoping that everything between us was for nothing because of this lie.

Tamaki turned around slowly, and something my chest cracked at his eyes- he wasn't mad. He was hurt. And that was much worse then any anger he could have thrown at me.

"What could have been so bad that you threw away your identity to get away from?" He asked and now it was my turn to look away. "I feel like I was just starting to get to know Sora-chan." He said as I took a few cautious steps closer.

"But now I know that Sora-chan is not Sora-chan- she is Alex-chan, and I feel like I have to get to know you all over again." He said and I smiled faintly as I looked up at him. "You do know Alex-chan." I told him firmly. "Just because I have a different name doesn't make me a different person- I'm still the same, adorable, slightly insane, girl." I said.

There was a moment's pause before Tamaki shrieked and tackled me, knocking me clean off my feet. "SO-ALEXIS-CHAN!" He exclaimed. "Daddy is very proud of that cute face you just made! Very proud!" He squealed as he hugged me tightly.

I froze in his arms, shocked that he really was fine with it- was it really over that fast?

Just as this thought crossed my mind however, Tamaki pulled back slightly so that he was looking at me. "You could have told me." He said suddenly and I blinked up at him. "I wouldn't have told anyone! I am very good at keeping secrets!" He exclaimed, his hold on me tightening with excitement.

Instead of laughing at his enthusiasm, I was trying very hard to keep calm. We were lying on the floor of a dark room, our bodies pressed together, his face so close to mine I could feel his breath. Thank God he didn't reek of tea or anything gross- he smelled like roses. Which usually would be girly, but I think it was just because of the very unusual amount of roses in the music room.

Tamaki tilted his head quizzically, looking like an oversized puppy as he frowned thoughtfully. "Alex-chan, are you all right? You're very red."

The fact he had noticed how much I was blushing just made it worse. I blinked once, twice, then passed out in his arms.

OOO

I watched in faint amusement as Miki tried to settle Hunny, since it was just about his nap time but he was too over-excited about the day's events to go to sleep easily.

"You really should have told us." The twins said in unison, identical frowns on their faces. "Kyoya-sempai, can't you just imagine the amount of customers and cash they'll bring in?" They said as they turned their heads to the Dark Lord.

Kyoya smiled ever so slightly, pushing his glasses up his nose as he replied, "This should be good for profits."

I scowled at that. "You see, this is why we didn't tell you." I said. "We don't want to be something to profit off of, we want to be just regular people."

"Regular people don't go to this school." One of the twins reminded me. Haruhi looked up from where she was reading, blinked once, smiled slightly, and returned to her reading. I didn't press the subject of what the twins had said, not wanting to ruin Haruhi's little happy moment.

I leaned back on the couch and looked over at Mori, sitting next to me and being his usual guard-dog self. "So, you're really not mad about… this?" I waved a hand in the air as I frowned over at him, keeping my voice down so no one would hear me asking him.

"No." He responded. He turned his head to me. "I'm not mad." He said and I blinked, then smiled slightly. "Good."

There was a rather awkward pause before, to my great surprise, Mori spoke again, unprovoked. "I only wish you had told me."

I jumped a bit, startled, and turned to look at him in surprise. "Why?" I asked.

He didn't look away, his voice calm and his eyes steady as he replied, "Because I could have helped you."

I officially lost the fight against the blush and crossed my arms, trying to look less like a love-struck fan girl. "You did help me." I muttered. "Earlier. Thank you, for that."

Mori nodded once, and I had the feeling our moment was over.

We both snapped our heads to the left when the doors flew open and a very mad, very wet Alexis stormed out of the back room. I stifled a snort of laughter at the fact she was soaked with tea, her eyes flashing with rage.

"We're going home." She said, her voice laced with poison. Tamaki was right behind her, looking like a kicked puppy. "Alex-chan, I said I was sorry!"

"You didn't need to pour tea on me to wake me up!" She snapped. "Especially hot tea! I'm already blistering!" She glared at him.

"Uh-oh, mommy and daddy are fighting." Miki, having come up behind me without my noticing, whispered. I looked over my shoulder at her but she was already gone, wrapping her arms around Kyoya's neck to hide from Alexis's rage.

"But you were passed out! I needed to wake you up, and on TV they usually pour water on the victims!" Tamaki protested.

"Victims?! The only thing I'm a victim of is your stupidity!"

I didn't even see Tamaki retreating to his corner- in the blink of an eye he was gone, sulking in a far corner of the room. Alexis stared at him for a moment, looking like she wanted to say something before she turned her head, her hair covering her eyes as she growled, "Let's just go."

I nodded, knowing that I was most likely going to be handing her tissues for the rest of the night, and stood up. "Bye everyone!" Miki waved, dropping her head to give Kyoya a swift kiss on the cheek before she was gone, trotting happily along after Alex, who was already out the door.

"See you guys Monday." I sighed, swinging my back-pack over my arms. The twins lifted their hands in a lazy wave, Kyoya gave me a curt nod and Tamaki ignored me, wrapped in his corner of woe.

Haruhi looked up from her book, offered me a rare smile and a slight wave before returning to her copy of Gone With the Wind, and I turned automatically to Mori, sitting quietly in front of the little canopy-type thing Hunny was napping in. I hadn't even noticed when they both had retreated to their corner.

I lifted a hand in farewell and Mori nodded, returning to his book while he watched over his tiny charge. I smiled slightly and headed out the door, not looking forward to a long night.

OOO
