PRONOUNS USED FOR HARUHI AND SOL: He, him, his, etc.

-Early Monday morning-

Two black silhouettes loomed in the window of one of the apartment buildings. Hair combs brushed through both heads of hair, clothes were changed from t-shirts and shorts into fancy suits, and ties were tied up next to the necks. Exiting from the apartment door was two handsome young men, both still pretty young. One stood slightly taller than the other and they both seemed somewhat scrawny, but they were still quite the lookers.

"You sure you want to go to school with your injuries?"

"I'm fine, I can handle myself."

"Are you sure? Does it hurt to walk a lot?"

"No, I am fine. Quit worrying."

The taller boy shuffled the hair of the other, both smiling as they walked down the street towards one of the many established schools in the area.

-Currently-

"There you two are!"

A startled Mitsukuni smiled wide in excitement as the doors to the host club opened, revealing Haruhi and Sol behind them. Tamaki looked up from what he was doing and for a moment he seemed confused, but that was normal. He then flashed a most-likely-fake serious look at the two boys. "Where have you two been? You're late!"

Haruhi's large brown eyes and Sol's yellow-orange eyes glanced at each other, both holding back smiles. "Sorry. We lost track of time, " Haruhi stated, purposely leaving out why his arrival took longer than normal. He wasn't about to admit to the rest of the host club that he had to get Sol awake and dressed in his living room for the first time since he moved in. The rest of the host club only knew that Haruhi was a girl, they didn't know about Sol, so telling them that Sol was now living with her would most likely cause all of them to go into a frenzy, which she wanted to avoid at all costs.

"No being late, you two. Now hurry up and get ready for class, " Kyoya stated from behind his black notebook that he carried everywhere. Both of the late boys nodded slightly, making sure that they had everything in their bags as Kaoru and Hikaru walked over to them.

The four boys walked out of the music room together and went to their class together. As usual, the lectures were pretty boring, yet they still listened. When one would get confused, another would help out. The four of them were a pretty good pairing. All of them were pretty smart and learned quickly. They were exceptional students.

By the end of their class, the boys were worn out. But they all knew that their day wasn't over yet. All four of them trotted down the hallways, hurrying to get to Music Room 3 before the host club would open. As all four of them opened the doors together, they were greeted by the usual bright light and rose petals, which shut off abruptly when the other hosts realized that it was just the other members. All four of them were pushed to the back room to get changed, for it was another one of their cosplay days. When they got to the back, they saw something that none of them had really seen before. They still changed into them, though.

All of the hosts were in the main room except for Haruhi and Sol, each one of them wearing different animal ears and tails. Tamaki was the first, his hair slightly fluffed outwards with a lion's ears and tail on. As to be expected, Honey wore bunny ears, a fluffy little tail, and had a little pink nose painted onto his own. Mori had floppy dog ears and a fluffy little tail on, as well as a little black nose. Kyoya wore the ears and tail of a grey wolf. The twins both wore tiger-striped ears and tails. When Haruhi walked out of the back room, he wore the small ears and the bushy tail of a squirrel, which he had to admit he was slightly fond of. As for Sol, when he walked out of the back room, he had the pointed ears and the fluffy tail of a red fox. All together they were an odd mix of animals, but they were all handsome nonetheless.

Once it was time for the club to open, girls began walking into the rose-petal-filled light of the music room, all letting out surprised gasps when seeing the boys dressed as animals. A lot of the girls wanted to pet their ears and tails, others fawned over how cute or handsome they were. Many girls sighed in happiness every time that Tamaki said that he was the King of the Host Club, being literal considering his cosplay. Some of the girls asked Kyoya if they could be part of his wolf pack. Girls commented that Mori was like the guard dog of his precious, little bunny. The twins had their striped orange tails wrapped around two girls, as well as each other, making small purring sounds. Multiple girls petted Haruhi's tail at the same time, saying that he was an adorable squirrel. Then there was the girl's for Sol. There were the usual three, but Sol was beginning to get more attention, his current cosplay causing some commotion. A few of the customers of the other hosts actually went to investigate Sol, falling for his fluffy tail and how the bright orange worked well with his eyes and hair.

Sol still wasn't used to the attention that he would start getting because of the host club. For one, he was only used to other boys being around him from when he was little, but this club got full with girls every day. If he was going to make it through this school year and get rid of that debt, he had to learn to deal with it. As much as he hated to admit it, getting a lesson or two from Tamaki or Haruhi was tempting. He didn't know what girls liked or how they reacted to certain things. What if he said the wrong thing and offended one of them? He didn't want to make any of the customers leave the club. So far he was doing a good job of making them leave with smiles, but that was only the three that came to him every day. He was starting to get to know the three of them. But the other girls that were now starting to request for him were different. He didn't know anything about them or what things they wanted to hear or how to make them happy like he did the others.

At the moment, Sol stood over near his window, watching as a few girls he didn't know walked over, asking his name, if he was a member of the host club, and asked about his cosplay. As far as he could tell, the three girls that usually came to see him hadn't showed up yet, so he was only with the ones that he didn't know.

"So you're a new host, then? When did you join? We never see you over here. Why don't you have your own table?"

"How did you join? Did the other hosts make you join because of your looks?"

"I really love your tail and ears! They fit you perfectly! They almost match your hair and your eyes!"

"Do you mind if we pet them? They look so soft!"

Sol wasn't really sure how exactly to answer them. He knew the answers to these questions, but the most he could do was nod when they asked to pet his ears and tail. Despite the fact that the ears and tail weren't really, he could feel every time that one of the girls would pet them, giving him chills down his back. He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not, but it felt odd. It was like he could actually feel their touch through the ears and tail, as if they were really connected to him. But he knew that wasn't true. It still felt like it, though.

Each time they would touch, he would flinch, which would make the ears and tail flick, which the girls laughed and smiled at. When these girls were finished and began to leave, his regular three walked in the door and approached him with smiles.

"Aww, look how cute you are with your ears and tail!"

"So animals is the theme today? Of course you got put in a fox outfit."

"Could I pet them?"

"Yes, of course, " Sol answered, lifting a part of the tail and moving it towards the girls. Each of them took their turns petting the tail and his ears, feeling the soft orange fur and giggling when them suddenly touching them would make him flinch. He was more calm with these girls than he was with the others, so he was more willing to speak with them.

"We saw that you've been getting more girls visiting you lately. Do you ever get uncomfortable?"

"Yeah, at times. I'm still only used to you three coming to see me, " Sol said, scratching his head behind one of his ears. There actually was something that some people might have noticed about Sol. The other hosts in the club would entertain the girls and make them happy before sending them on their way. They would know some of the girls personally, but they more just made them happy and let them go. Sol, only having three regulars, was able to get to know these girls more personally and not just entertain them because he was a host. To be honest, he couldn't deny that he was more so their friend now instead of just a host that they liked. He knew their names, what classes they were in, and knew some things that they were interested in. It was the same from them to him. They knew a few things about him as well, more than just his name. They didn't know everything about him, nor were they going to know. Hopefully no one in the host club other than Haruhi would knew certain things about him.

"We actually have a question for you, Sol." Sol looked to them in interest. They always had questions, but they usually just ask. "Would you like to eat lunch with us today? We saw that you always sit with Haruhi at lunch. He could sit with us too, if he would like." This was the first time that the girls had asked him to do something like this. Honestly, he couldn't say no. He nodded with a smile at the girls, looking over at Haruhi.

"I will ask if he wants to join us later on."

It took way to long to write that XP. Anyway, not a whole lot happened, but it still is gonna lead to something else that will be a bit more exciting.
