Happy 2019

"Ryuuji."
The teen stood in front of the desk, fiddling with his shirt. His bandaged hand hid in shorts and he glances around the room nervously.
"Father. I'm sure you're aware of the conflict at school today."
The man sighed and gestured to the older man blocking the door to leave. With a bow, he slipped through the door.
"Well, i'm aware that you broke someone's nose. Would you explain the reason why?"
The boy winced and straightened up to the best of his ability.
"I assumed that he harmed Haruhi in someway. It was rash, I know."
The older of the two stood and walked to the file behind him, "When I allowed you to go back to Ouran, I expected you to avoid conflict and do your best in your studies. You are allowed to interact with others of course, I would not keep you away from potential business partners and friends."
He pulled out a letter and passed it the boy. "But remember, you are to focus on the family. If we have another incident like this, you will be home schooled again. That is all."
Ryuuji nodded and slipped the letter into his pocket. "Of course. Goodnight father."
He walked out before his father could respond. He nods to the older man guarding, before making his way to his room. He fingers the letter in his pocket as he scoffs.
"Focus on family, huh. Isn't Haruhi family?"

I was in a better mood today.
My charge wasn't here today either. But it was fine. A letter from her was enough. Camilla being safe drowned out the scolding from my father, numbed the pain from my hand, and made me feel better about being a host…
Not that much.
I dragged my feet walking to the club room. It hurt my head to think about it. The squeals, the flying roses, and worst of all; Tamaki. The thought of him sent shivers up my spine. I stopped in front of the door, pushing it open slowly.
"Ryuu-chan!" My tiny senior jumped on my back, causing me to land face first through the club doors. "Ah~, I'm sorry."
Pushing myself up with my elbows, I see Usa-chan in front of me wearing my hat. I lift up onto my knees, Honey still on my back, and start to crawl.
"Did I really leave my hat with you?" I stop so Honey could grab Usa-chan, and crawl again.
"Yeah! Renge-chan dragged you out quickly, so we couldn't give it to you," He held onto my hood as I moved, "We washed it just in case."
We stopped in front of the host club and their early clients. Tamaki obviously had to open his mouth.
"What are you two doing? As hosts you're being disrespectful, ignoring the ladies!"
I scoffed and fixed him with a glare, "The ladies will be fine- we're playing cowboys, obviously."
The girls squealed and Tamaki went on a rant about family and we were on our way. We walked to Mori, who was drinking tea and reading.
"Takashi look, I'm a cowboy!" I neighed as I circled the table. The clients with him started to giggle. One girl, I'm sure is their regular, spoke.
"Saito-San is so much like an older brother right?" The other girls nodded in agreement.
I stood up and hooked my arms under Honey's legs. I walked us to the closet of sweets for a treat before we actually start. Or at least, I tried.
"Ryuuji!" Tamaki rushed in front of me and shoved a laptop into my face. "Look what those devious twins did to Haruhi!" I snached the laptop from his hands and glared at him till he disappeared.
A shirtless Haruhi smiled at me sweetly. I blanked out for a second, i'm sure, before remembering she's not that masculine.
"Haru-chan looks great, right Ryuu-chan?" Honey states as he pokes me. I nod and relax myself. I hand off the laptop to the ladies quickly surrounding me, and make my way way to the twins.
"It looks nice, but when the hell were you able to get a picture of Haruhi? Hidden cameras?" Tamaki appeared and added his input.
"That's right! How did you get naked pictures of Haruhi? Did you bribe her?!" The twins stare at Tamaki like the idiot he is.
"It's obviously photoshopped."
"We did a good job, huh boss."
"That's a waste of of your skills! ...But if your going to do it anyway, could you photoshopper into this dress?"
I kicked him the back before they could answer.
I decided to finally get the cake and ignore anymore possible drama. I walked into the pantry with Honey. I place him and Usa-chan down and wander around."
"What cake do you want Honey?"
"Strawberry cake! But then again, we just got a Blueberry cake. And Red Velvet…"
Tamaki's ranting resonated from the other room. I close the door and join him by the shelves.
"Take your time."

When Honey and I finally bring out the cakes, the twins are glaring at each other. We place the cakes in front of the girls and make our way to Haruhi. She glances between us and the twins nervously.
"Ryuuji… where were you guys?"
"The pantry. We were going to come out earlier, but we heard a scream of terror."
Honey stared at ...Hikaru? Kaoru? "What's going on Haru-chan?"
"Ah, well-"
"You grind your teeth too loud!"
"You toss and turn so much you fall out of bed!"
"Sex pixie!"
"Sicko"
"Your momma wears too much makeup!
"We're through!"
I turn to the rest of the club, who looks varying levels of worried.
"So uh ...what happened here?"
