Beware The Physical Exam!

Slipping on the outfit Kyouya had given her, Shun gazed at the mirror to observe her reflection. Her dark brown hair was combed and neatly parted to the right, and—sporting a black button-down vest and a long, white waist-apron—she was fit to be a proper waiter, although she noticed that the seams at her shoulders felt a bit too tight. Pulling back the changing room curtain, Shun stepped out quietly while fumbling with her brown string tie.

Honey's face immediately lit up upon seeing Shun's appearance. "Wow, you look really handsome, Shu-chan!" he complimented brightly.

"Oh, uh, thanks, I guess." Shun shrugged her shoulders casually.

"So, what do you think of it, Shun?" Tamaki inquired as he twirled over to her in a brilliance of rose petals and sparkles.

Shun stared at him blankly. "It's okay." At her answer, Tamaki fell over dramatically, as if he had been horribly offended. "Although, my shoulders feel kind of cramped."

"That's because your shoulders are broader than Haruhi's." Hikaru appeared on her left, resting his elbow on her head while Kaoru mirrored him on her right.

"Gee, thanks a lot," Shun muttered.

"If you had just let us take your measurements, we wouldn't have had to give you an outfit in Haruhi's size," Kaoru pointed out.

Nudging the twins' arms off of her, she hastily scurried over to Haruhi. "There's no way I would let you guys take my measurements."

Sighing in exasperation, Haruhi turned to Shun and began undoing her tie. Shun watched her inquisitively.

"What are you doing?" Shun asked.

"Fixing your tie. You completely messed it up." Haruhi chuckled. "There," she said as she finished, patting Shun's shoulder gently. Shun rubbed the back of her neck and sheepishly grinned in gratitude before noticing Tamaki staring at the both of them while smiling tearfully. Suddenly, he rushed forward and swooped them up in a suffocating hug.

"My little girls are so adorable!" he cooed affectionately. "Haruhi is so motherly towards Shun! How cute!"

"Get off me!" Shun shouted as she tried to pry herself from Tamaki's grasp.

At the reception...

These damn rich people, Shun thought bitterly to herself. I can't believe I have to wear this ridiculous getup and attend a frilly flower-viewing session. Shun tugged at the uncomfortable collar of her dress shirt in irritation. Why did I have to get stuck with the waiter outfit? Why couldn't I have worn one of the kimonos with the looser collars? She was soon pulled out of her morose thoughts by the girls seated in front of her.

"Are you alright, Shun? You look a bit uncomfortable." One of the girls was looking at her with a concerned expression. Shun quickly waved her hands in reassurance.

"No, no, I'm fine. It's just that I'm not really used to wearing this kind of stuff." As she spoke, an idea entered her mind. "Actually, if you don't mind..." After pulling the tie around her neck loose, Shun undid the first two buttons of her shirt and exhaled contentedly. Ah, much better. Looking up, she noticed the girls' faces had all flared crimson, and they erupted into a fit of electrified squeals.

"Shun, you're so daring!"

"You shouldn't do that! I won't be able to handle it!"

"You're so handsome!"

The girls at this school are really weird. Seeing as they were distracted, Shun quickly leapt at the chance for a break. As she was walking over to a cloth-covered table to grab a few snacks, she abruptly turned her head at the sound of a cup clattering, which was followed by Kaoru wincing in pain.

Shun glanced over at the twins' table and was about to walk over—until she saw Hikaru lift Kaoru's burnt finger to his lips and kiss it tenderly.

"Really, Kaoru. You have to be more careful. From now on, keep your eyes on me, okay?"

"Yes, Hikaru."

The girls all began shrieking at this, and one may have even fainted. It's not just the girls at this school that are strange. Sighing tiredly, Shun drew out a cloth napkin from the breast pocket of her vest and handed it to Kaoru.

"Here, Kaoru." She pushed the neatly folded napkin into his hand. He looked slightly surprised at the gesture.

"Uh, thanks, Shun."

After witnessing the 'heartwarming' scene, the guests seated at Hikaru's and Kaoru's table immediately began chatting amongst each other with enthusiasm.

"Shun caring for Kaoru is so adorable! And Shun is so bashful, look at him blush! Ah, I can't take it! It's overwhelming!" One girl placed the back of her hand against her forehead and turned away.

The one seated next to her began to chastise her friend. "No, you have to watch this! You may not get another chance! Who knows if it will happen again!" she scolded.

"You are absolutely right, my guests," Kyouya agreed as he suddenly appeared beside the two of them, his voice adopting a much friendlier tone. "All beauty is fleeting. Just look at these cherry blossoms. You'll never be able to see them like this again."

Shun gaped at him, completely flabbergasted. Since when did he turn into some enigmatic poet? He's definitely different from when I first met him. She shuddered at the memory, but she was distracted again when Kyouya swiftly pulled out a photo book with a picture of the Hitachiin twins on the cover.

"That's why I've compiled this picture book that captures the beauty of each and every day." Shun gawked when Kyouya pulled out three more books and fanned them out in his hands in front of the girls.

"Incidentally, I've prepared similar books of the other hosts as well." Kyouya smiled charmingly at the two girls. "If you ladies are interested in collecting all four of them, I'll discount the whole set for you."

Shun's jaw dropped open in shock. He's turning it into an enterprise?!

The girls immediately yanked out their wallets. "I'll take them!"

"Me too, please! But, if I may ask, are there any photo books of Shun available?"

Kyouya adjusted his glasses before materializing another book out of thin air. "Well, of course."

Shun could feel her face burn fiercely with anger. "You can't take pictures of me without asking! That's illegal!" Stomping over to Kyouya, she attempted to snatch the book from his hands, but he held it above his head, far out of her reach. Feeling a force pull her back, she whipped her head around, only to see Hikaru and Kaoru with their arms resting on her shoulders.

"Calm down, Shun. They're just pictures," they assured her nonchalantly, as if it weren't such a big deal.

"Would you mind not using me as an armrest?" Shun muttered under her breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Haruhi standing alone. She pushed the twins' elbows off of her back—ignoring their indignant protests—and made her way over to Haruhi. Standing next to her silently, Shun mimicked Haruhi's actions as she closed her eyes and took a deep, calming breath.

Haruhi briefly peered over at Shun. "Are you feeling alright? I know they can be difficult sometimes, but these guys are all good people," she reassured her sympathetically.

Smirking, Shun lazily slung an arm around Haruhi's shoulders. "I'll be able to stick it out as long as you're here. I'd probably lose it if I didn't have you around to keep me levelheaded all of the time." Haruhi laughed out loud at that.

"Haruhi, Shun," Tamaki called. The two hosts both turned to face him, the person in question posing with his back to them. "How are both of you doing? Are you having a good time?" he asked them in his typical princely manner.

"Not really," Shun mumbled sourly.

"The flower-viewing reception is going quite well." Tamaki turned around a bit. "But even so, it's rather tiring to spend more time being admired than doing the admiring."

"Wow, senpai, you're blooming in more ways than one," Haruhi said, looking unimpressed.

He abruptly pointed at her. "You noticed!" He struck a dramatic pose and continued with his self-praising speech. "Yes, today my beauty is quite splendid. I'm in full bloom!" Winking at Haruhi, he waved his finger at her in a teasing gesture. "I bet you'll fall for me soon!"

Glancing over at Haruhi, Shun could see her eyebrow twitching.

Haruhi was then curtly pulled back by the twins, who had begun discussing what courses she would be choosing for the term.

"It's too bad you're not taking all of the same classes, Shun." Hikaru had grabbed Shun's arm and tugged her towards them, halting her journey to claim an enticing frosted shortcake. "It would be a lot more fun if all four of us were together."

"Thanks for the tempting offer, Hikaru," Shun griped, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "but I'm afraid I'll have to decline." Her eyes drifted over to the shortcakes on the platter nearby, and she wriggled out of Hikaru's grasp to continue weaving her way towards the table, not noticing him stare after her in bewilderment for a moment.

After finally grabbing a cake, Shun was about to happily stuff it into her mouth until she heard a loud commotion near the back of the reception.

What could they be getting into now? She sighed exasperatedly to herself as she approached the hosts that were making a ruckus. However, before she could get a word out, Tamaki reached out and roughly grabbed both Haruhi and her by the shoulders, which caused the small cake to fall from Shun's hand. She could only mourn over her loss for a second, as Tamaki immediately began babbling in both of their faces.

"Listen, Haruhi, Shun!" he said with a panicked expression. "I want you to stop hanging out with those shady twins from now on!"

"Who are you calling shady?" Hikaru interjected.

"Yeah, take a good look at yourself, boss!" Kaoru retorted.

Tamaki bounced backwards with a shocked expression before it hardened into a determined one as he tightened his fist in front of him.

"Alright, then! We can't keep hiding the fact that you two are girls from the school any longer!" He shook his fist. "All daddy wants is for you to go back to the girls you used to be, for you to surround yourself with girl friends and start leading a wholesome life!" Tamaki wailed, then gripped the two girls' shoulders again and began shaking them back and forth.

"So do it, change back now, change right now!"

"You don't have to rush things, they'll be found out soon enough," Hikaru said matter-of-factly.

"Physical exams are the day after tomorrow," Kaoru added.

"Physical exams?" Haruhi looked at them questioningly, while Shun looked as if her stomach had just barreled down into her shoes.

"P-Physical e-e-exams?" Shun stuttered meekly to herself.

Haruhi placed a finger against her chin in thought. "Then that means... there's no doubt. They're gonna know that I'm a girl."

Wobbling on her feet, Shun clumsily fell to her knees and planted her hands on the ground in front of her. What the hell am I gonna do?
