Looking around the room, Yuka just sighed. He had resolved to work off the debt instead of paying it off. It didn't seem right to leave Haruhi with half, even though he offered to pay out her side of the debt too. He got a flat out no for that effort.
Yuka was also feeling guilty over the whole mess. If he didn't suggest going into the music room. If he just dragged out Haruhi instead of freezing. If he was paying attention to his surroundings better, the stupid vase wouldn't have been broken.
Haruhi didn't seem to blame him, so there was that.
Today was the fourth day. With all the excitement from the last few days, he still hadn't gotten a chance to tell the rest of the club yet. He will have to take them to tell them after club activities today.
The last few days have been something. Going from an errand boy to a host was something he honestly didn't expect to happen. He didn't know how to flirt with girls, but he did know how to talk to them. He was considered a natural like Haruhi in that department and he often teamed up with her for the first day, or so.
He did get a makeover just like Haruhi. Not as extreme as hers though. The twins got him a new uniform and gave him a haircut. He switched back to his contacts the second day, but his hair was still an unkempt mess. He had to give them props, they gave him a pretty rad haircut. Instead of the long hairstyle that it was, he had a shorter hairstyle that was easier to manage and style now. The sides were buzzed cut with the top longer. He still had his bangs, which were still long enough that he could flip them off his face and the length was long enough to barely cover his right eye. In short, he really loved it.
Then the whole reveal that Haruhi was a girl was yesterday. It didn't surprise him. He had a feeling Haruhi was a girl. There were hints before the reveal. She reacted differently to simple things. To Honey and his bunny, the look on Mori's face when he picked her up, Kyoya's smirk when he thought no one saw him, Haruhi kicking the twins out of the changing room, and the fact she looked to girly to him. All of these were hints he got.
Today he was having a totally different distraction, besides what he was going to tell them later on. Tamaki chooses to have a theme day. A Bali theme. The worst possible theme for Yuka. Hot guys half dresses. He was half-dressed. He had a hard enough time hiding when they were fully clothed, now he was trying his hardest to control his blushing and other body reactions.
It did get easier once customers started coming in. He had a distraction then. In between customers, he tried to think of how he was going to tell his club members about both issues. They did have a right to know he was gay after all. That and his thoughts kept going back to his little girl. He knew that would have to come up at some point that he was a 16-year-old father. He also knew it wouldn't look good for him, or the club for that matter.
He breathed a sigh of relief as the last customer left for the day and they went about changing out of their costumes and turning the clubroom back to normal. One problem down. Two more to go.
As he left the changing room, he noticed Tamaki in the corner eating what looked like ramen noodles.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Yuka as he turned his attention from Tamaki to the rest of the club.
"Tono, lay off the noodles and help finalize our party plans?" said the twins "It's not like her sickness started today."
"Sickness?" asked Haruhi.
"The classic 'fickle female' disease!" stated the twins.
"Oh, shit," muttered Yuka as he started to move away from Tamaki. He knew why Tamaki was upset and he knew he had to move away, or get trampled.
"In other words, Haruhi. Tamaki is upset because Miss Kanako choose both you and Yuka as her new hosts," stated Kyoya.
"She choose me too?" asked Yuka.
"Yeah, she did. She enjoyed talking to both of you, even if it was separate. She heard that you two sometimes team up with customers and was interested in it," explained Kyoya without looking up from writing in his notebook.
"Haruhi, you need to dress like a female and Yuka needs to come out of the closet! He gets female clients that don't know he is gay! It's not fair to his customers!" yelled Tamaki as he dug through a trunk.
Yuka froze at that.
"Tamaki!" hissed Haruhi as she glanced at Yuka, along with the rest of the club.
Tamaki froze in whatever he was searching for and turned around slowly. He looked apologetic from what Yuka could tell.
"Am I that transparent?" asked Yuka as he looked around the room. He wasn't mad. He did plan on telling them. He shouldn't be shocked that they knew beforehand, but the way Tamaki yelled it didn't help.
"You gave off hints. Staring too much. Practically drooling when we first met you. Blushing too much around us guys, but not around the girls," explained the twins with a shrug.
"Guess I got to work on that, huh? I need to keep this under wraps. I mean I am not ashamed, or embarrassed about being gay. I am comfortable being whole I am. It was one of the things I was planning on telling you guys anyway. Just if word gets out, I may cause problems for you guys. I will lose customers. Possibly cost you guys customers as well if it got out you covered for me. But maybe the girls won't care. I just " Yuka rambled as he nervously looked around the room. "That is if you still want me to stay?" he questioned as he found an interesting spot on the ceiling to look at, "I understand if you don't want me too..."
"Of course we want you to stay!" exclaimed Tamaki before he hugged Yuka "I am sorry I outed you. So, so sorry. Please forgive me! I should have never said that. I am sorry if I made you feel unwanted, or in any way that we don't wnt you here."
"Why wouldn't we let you stay, Yuki-chan?" asked a crying Honey as he joined the hug.
"And our brotherly love act isn't exactly a straight act. Why would we have a problem with you? We love making you blush!" smirked the twins as they joined in on the hug, "Who else would we tease so easily"
"Ok, I get it. Get off!" laughed red-faced Yuka.
After everyone pulled apart and went back to harassing Haruhi, who in turn yelled at Tamaki for blowing up her middle school picture without her consent (which Tamaki dragged out of the trunk he was digging in earlier) and making her go to the dance to cut her debt down; he brought out his cell, which went off during the whole ordeal. Looking at the text, he glanced at everyone and got their attention.
"I have something else to tell you…" he started before the door opened up. An older woman came in carrying a little girl. As soon as the little girl saw Yuka, she started to protest being held, holding her arms out to the young man.
"Down!" demanded the girl. The woman complied with a laugh as she set the girl on the ground. The little girl ran as fast as she could to Yuka, who in turn swept her up in his arms.
"Hello, daddy," giggled the girl as she kissed his cheek.
"Hello, princess," whispered Yuka as he gave her a quick peck on the cheek, before turning his attention to the woman. "Thanks for picking Emi up for me, Aunt Sakai."
"No trouble, Yuka. Love spending time with this little angel," Sakai said as she gave Emi a quick tickle "I see you guys are busy. My name is Okamoto Sakai. I am Yuka's aunt. I wish I could stay for proper introductions, but I have to run. I am sorry I had to drop Emi-bear off so suddenly."
"I just got called into work and I know you still at your club. If Yamato wasn't working, I would have asked him to watch her..." explained Aunt Sakai as she gave the diaper bag to Yuka. He knew she was apologetic and would have loved to stay if she wasn't called in.
"It's ok, Aunt Sakai. Can't be helped. You are a doctor after all, " smiled Yuka "We will see you when you get home later, ok?"
"See you both later, but not too late. This little one should be in bed when I get home tonight," stated the woman before kissing Yuka and Emi on the cheek, before running out the door. Yuka turned around to the very shocked club members.
"Um, this is Emiko or Emi for short." Yuka gestured to the girl in his arms.
"Emi, these are my new friends. That's Tamaki, Haruhi, Hikaru, Kaoru, Honey, Mori, and Kyoya," Yuka said as he ended the introductions "Emi is my daughter."
Hi! It's me, the author.
Hope your enjoying the story so far. Thank you for all the likes, follows, and reviews. It really makes my day seeing those.
I posted this on archives and here, so if you are one there and see this, no worries. It's suppose to be there. Reason I like is ao3 is because I can add author notes without adding to the story like this. I only have two stories on there.
Anyway, it doesn't mean I won't continue posting on here. I still prefer this website a little more. I will be posting a chapter every week until further notice. I may hit writer's block and such, so I am not promising anything. I do have several chapters written for this story, so you guys will be getting more chapters.
This story is more of a challenge and is a way to expand my writing. I have never written children before, so this story is a first for me.
Thanks again for the likes, follows, and reviews. They are appreciated a lot.
