Episode complete woo! I'll try to post the whole episode on the same day. The idea of having a cliffhanger is tempting, but I rather have it at the end of the episode instead of the first part.
Gothgirl4800: Nice to see you again! To answer your question, I'm following the anime. I don't read manga unless I absolutely have to as in I find myself reading it and there's no anime of it. I do know that Haruhi and Tamaki get married though. Anyways thank you, I'm sure phoenix will be happy to hear that you mentioned her XD
Here ya go part two!
Learning to Dance Part 2
The next day after school was done for the day, Honey-senpai and Haruhi were exempted from seeing clients. Haruhi is practicing with Kanako while Honey-senpai is teaching me how to dance. Off to the side, I can hear Kanako guiding Haruhi. My attention is suddenly grabbed by Honey-senpai when he grabs my left hand and places it on his shoulder, then takes my right hand as he places his left on the middle of my back.
"Relax and follow my lead okay?" he says softly looking into my eyes.
His childish persona is long gone as he pulls me closer. We start dancing. I look down to make sure I avoid stepping on his feet. He instructs me gently as we dance.
"Good, now do it while looking at me," he says.
I look at him, at that moment I realize how close to the same height we are with me being just a little taller than him. As I look at him, my ankle decides it's a good time to twist. His eyes widen and his hold on me tightens, preventing me from falling and ending up like Haruhi did with Kanako.
"Are you alright?" he asks, concerned.
"I-I'm fine, just twisted my ankle a little," I mumble, pink dusting my cheeks.
"Let's take a break," he helps me stand up and leads me to sit at the table with Kanako.
Haruhi looks at me, "How is practice going for you?"
I blush, remembering how close Honey-senpai and I were dancing.
"I-it's going well," I clear my throat.
Haruhi tilts her head confused while Kanako giggles.
"Right, I forgot; Haruhi is oblivious to those kinds of things."
Haruhi brings tea for Kanako and lemonade for me.
"Thank you, Haru," I smile.
I half-listen to their conversation when Kyoya comes in and Kaneko compliments the tea sets. Kanako's fiancé walks in with new tea sets and she freezes. I watch her. She nervously laughs when Haruhi confuses the boy with a tea sets seller when in fact he is a student. Kaneko and Suzushima stare at each other.
"Good grief; the miscommunication is heavy on this one."
Kyoya explains what the boy's family company does. I drink the last of my lemonade as Tamaki comes over to the table asking Kanako if she is enjoying the host club. Haruhi calls her out for her and 'that boy' seeming kind of close. Kanako panics and nervously excuses herself from the room. Honey-senpai attaches himself to Haruhi like a koala.
"Haru-chan! Guess what? They do know each other!" he says," Suzushima is Kasuga-chan's fiancé."
"Kyoya, how long have you known about this?" Tamaki crosses his arms.
"About the two of them being engaged?" Kyoya asks as he opens his black book, "Well, as you know, I conduct general searches on all of our customers," he explains, "The two of them were childhood friends, it seems that their engagement was arranged by their parents," he reads, "I didn't think the information would benefit us, so I disregarded it," he snaps the book closed and turns back to Tamaki.
"I see," Tamaki mumbles, unsure.
Kyoya explains who Suzushima is, and the twins join in the explanation. They mercilessly call the poor boy boring.
"They cater to girls, so it makes sense they don't really care about guys."
Tamaki decides on his strategy, which pertains to our club's main mission: to make every girl happy! The next day comes along and the twins run to me with a pink pen and paper.
"Write a love letter!" they demand.
I raise an eyebrow, "Write a what now?"
"The boss told us to get you to write the love letter for Suzushima," Kaoru explains.
"Because let's face it Haruhi is too dense for this kind of thing," Hikaru shakes his head, explaining further.
"Alright," I sigh, "I'll write the damn love letter."
They grin and hand me the things they were carrying.
"Give it to Kyoya-senpai when you're done!" They say walking away.
"Bloody hell."
I look at the paper and the pink pen.
"Do I write it like it was in the anime?"
In class, I think of what to do.
"I could but I don't remember what they wrote!"
I zone out of the class.
"Do I treat it as if I was writing one to him?"
I feel my face start to get warm from thinking of writing a love letter to Honey-senpai. The bell saves me from my brain short-circuiting. Tamaki turns around.
"Did you write it?" he asks, eyes sparkling.
I shake my head, "I've never written a love letter before."
He holds his chin, thinking.
"Write it as if you were writing one to Honey-senpai," he says seriously.
I freeze up, "H-How do you know about that?!" I hiss quietly, face bright red.
"I'll kill those doppelgangers!"
He chuckles and grins, "The looks you give him are close to the ones that my clients give me."
I groan and hide my face in my hands in embarrassment.
"Who else knows?" I mumble.
"Kyoya and I believe the twins, probably Mori-senpai as well," I hear him say.
I sigh, putting my hands down, "Is it that obvious?"
He smiles softly patting my head, "Relax, I have a feeling that he feels the same way."
I tilt my head to the side, confused, "How can you tell?"
He chuckles, "I caught him staring at you when you were working a few times, or when you're in costume, or when you pretended to cry," he shudders, "He was ready to murder me."
My eyes widen.
"Really?"
During club hours after I finished taking inventory and taking orders, I start working on the letter. I glance at Honey-senpai who is entertaining his guests. Words start flowing, within minutes the letter is done. I hand it to Kyoya. He reads it over and smirks slightly.
"I see you followed Tamaki's advice," he looks at me.
I stick my tongue out at him ignoring the blush on my face, "Shush it, it was good advice."
The day of the event it's here and I successfully learned how to dance the waltz without stepping on toes. Before the party started the twins threw me into a changing room with a package demanding for me to put it on. When I opened the package, I saw a beautiful pale green dress. The dress has long see-through sleeves that flare out with some glitter at the end, off the shoulder sweetheart neckline, and a flowing ankle-length skirt with a glittery see-through layer on top. The package included the shoes which are the same color as the dress and low heeled.
I come out of the changing room only to be received with a flash.
"Perfect!" Hikaru grins, holding the camera.
"Does it feel comfortable?" Kaoru asks, checking the dress for anything out of order.
"It does, but I have to ask," I look at Hikaru since Kaoru is busy with my hair now, "Why green?"
He grins mischievously, "Because that's what Honey-senpai said."
"Eh?" I blink surprised.
"He said so?!"
"There!" Kaoru takes me to three body length mirrors.
My eyes widen at my reflection. He didn't do anything complicated on my hair like most would have done. My hair was put in a bun except for two strands of my hair that were made into braids and wrapped around the bun with a pair of small pink roses pinned on the side of the bun.
"Wow," I smile, "I like it."
"We are not done!" they say, pulling out their professional makeup kit.
Hikaru sits me down on a stool," Close your eyes."
I close my eyes and I hear them start working. I feel one of them put something around my neck.
"It feels like a choker."
Then what I believe are earrings.
"They feel small."
Something else is wrapped around my waist.
"A bow?"
"Alright, you can open your eyes now!" They say proudly.
I look at myself once again. The makeup is simple like usual. The earrings are small pink roses. The choker is light green like the dress with a small pink rose dangling from it. The bow is pink like all the other accessories. I look amazing.
"You two outdid yourselves this time," I look at them through the mirror.
They high five each other with identical grins on their faces.
"He said my color is green, so going by their roses then that's my rose color?"
Party time! The hosts are at the stairs welcoming their little lambs as Tamaki calls the guests. I stand between the orchestra and the food buffet. My eyes land on Honey-senpai and I notice a pale green rose on his jacket's breast pocket. I feel a blush spread across my face.
"Are they seriously playing matchmaker?!"
I hear Kyoya's voice coming from my earpiece.
"Add some deluxe sushi," he says.
"We have it, Haruhi likes it," I smile looking at the twins rubbing their faces against her head.
Soon the hosts were dancing with their guests except for Haruhi who was standing next to me.
"You look beautiful, did the twins dress you up?" she asks.
"Thank you, yes they did," I giggle, "You look good in a suit."
She sighs, "I still don't understand why I'm the one going instead of you."
I chuckle quietly, "Because he has seen me a few times already and no one knows that you're a girl. It's easy."
I step away the moment I see Kaneko coming up to Haruhi. I press my earpiece.
"The target has arrived, I repeat, the target has arrived," I say quietly.
The earpieces were suggested by me during the first year of the club after the first time Tamaki decided to throw a party for better communication between the hosts and me. It started with just Tamaki, Kyoya and I but as the clientele increased, we had to get more for the others. At the moment Haruhi is the only one who doesn't have one due to being the newest member.
Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai get into action and take Haruhi to the changing rooms of the club.
"Let the plan begin."
Several minutes pass and Tamaki comes up to me.
"Where is everyone? The guests are waiting!" He looks around a bit frantic.
"In the club room enhancing Haruhi's beauty," I check the food.
I hear him walk away then a few minutes later Honey-senpai, Mori-senpai, Kyoya, and the twins come back. Some of the guests come up to me, I notice they are the twins' regulars.
"Um, are there any new albums for the Hitachiin brothers?" One asks shyly.
I give them a dazzling smile, "There will be new albums for all the hosts later this month, would you like to pre-order the twins' album and be notified when they are ready to pick up? Or perhaps you would prefer for them to be delivered?"
They get heart eyes instantly, "We would like to pre-order and pick them up please!"
"Fantastic!" I write down their names on my clipboard and give them a smile, "I'll personally call you when they are ready."
They squeal quietly, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome," I smile.
They walk away. Kyoya appears behind me.
"How is the plan going?" I ask quietly.
"So far so good, Tamaki is with her right now," He says, "How is everything here?"
"All the guests seem happy and a few used this time to order a few albums," I look at my clipboard which is filled with orders.
"Why don't you go and have fun? I'll take over," he suggests suddenly.
I look up at him, "Eh?"
At that moment Honey-senpai comes up to us and extends his hand to me with a soft smile.
"Go on," Kyoya nudges me forward.
I shyly take Honey-senpai's hand and he leads me to the dance floor. He places his other hand on my waist pulling closer as I place mine on his shoulder. We start to dance. I keep my eyes on him and only him. Everything around us seems to disappear, all that's left is the music and us. Tamaki's words echo in my head.
He smiles softly patting my head, "Relax, I have a feeling that he feels the same way."
I tilt my head to the side confused, "How can you tell?"
He chuckles, "I caught him staring at you when you were working a few times, or when you're in costume, or when you pretended to cry," he shudders, "He was ready to murder me."
I look into Honey-senpai's eyes, god they are beautiful.
"Sorry to interrupt you love birds, but the grand finale is about to begin," The twins' voices come through my earpiece startling both of us.
"I guess we're needed," I giggle.
Honey-senpai chuckles, "Seems like it," his voice drops a few octaves sending my mind into a frenzy, "Shall we?"
I nod, unable to speak. I'm 100% sure that my face is red. He leads me to the terrace. There we can see Kaneko and Suzushima standing in the middle of the patio with a spotlight shining on them. Tamaki announces that they are the winners of the ball. We watch them dance as the cherry blossoms fall around them.
In the end, the twins announced that Haruhi will be the one to give the reward to the winner, Tamaki panicked when he found out it would be Haruhi's first kiss so he ran to stop it but slipped on a banana peel and ended up pushing her making her kiss Kaneko on the lips. Tamaki was even more dramatic. Overall the dance with Honey-senpai was my highlight of the party.
Don't be afraid to leave a review I don't bite unless ya are into that ;)
