The day of the swim team's departure to "unknown waters" rolled around and they were all extremely excited, except for Rei. Makoto researched the Ootori family (against the loud protests of Rei) and found out that they were one of the richest families in Japan. Makoto also found out that Ouran Acadamy was a prestigious school for the (fucking) filthy ritch. He saw a brochure, and in one of the panels he saw something about a "Host Club". He questioned it, but kept it to himself. Makoto wondered if he should mention it to the swim club. He could tell that it would be an awkward conversation nonetheless.

They were walking down the street, and Nagisa was bugging Rei (as usual). Rei had been insistent on making everyone leave for the airport one hour after school, after swim practice of course. School basically ended at 5 and boarding time was 10… Rei just didn't want to be late. He knew that his uncle was upset about people being late, even if it was because of a missed plane (especially because it involved losing money). Either way, the rest of his friends were a bit miffed that they only had one hour to say goodbye to their families. This added to their skepticalness of why Rei had seemed to be acting up, of course, they all knew that he wasn't going to share anything about that anytime soon. (Maybe it just wasn't beautiful enough… (sorry about that one)).

After saying their goodbyes (Makoto was tackled by his siblings and Gou was told by Rin not to go off and get in trouble (Gou slapped him for that)), the group headed to the airport and lost Nagisa for a half hour in the food court. Rei used this little skirmish to support his reasonings to get to the airport extremely early.

"Rei-chan, what's your family like?" Nagisa asked while chewing on a bread roll. The group had made it to terminal T (where they were supposed to board their plane) and were currently waiting.

"I told you for probably the 50th time Nagisa, you will find out when we get there!" Rei whined at Nagisa. Rei was obviously getting annoyed with the constant pestering.

"But we want to know nooow~" Nagisa said. Haru nodded and Rei groaned.

"God dammit, Nagisa!" Rei practically shouted. He noticed that a few people looked at him, and he blushed, but he didn't really care. Some of the families even covered their children's ears.

"Now, now, guys, we mustn't terrorize him," Makoto said, trying (I repeat, trying) to keep the peace.

Rei sighed and Haru just stood there…. Breathing and stuff.

Haru noticed that Rei was looking at him and they had a staring moment.

Makoto looked jealous: those staring moments were supposed to be shared by only him and Haru.

As Rei continued to look at Haru, Haru finally questioned him, "What's up, Rei?"

"Nothing, my family isn't beautiful!"

"But you are," Nagisa said with a punk voice while wiggling his eyebrows (We don't own 50% off, that belongs to Octopimp and Sparky).

"HOLY SHIT WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!" The entire group jumped back in surprise. Parents, once again covered their children's ears whilst glaring at the group; blaming them for the bad futures that their children would now have.

"What do you mean?" Nagisa asked innocently.

"Okay then…" Rei said. He was still a bit traumatized.

They continued to bicker from then until it was time to board the plane. Once they were on the plane, they all fell asleep (except for Haru cuz' he never sleeps!).

Timeskip brought to you by: Kyoya's glistening glasses.

When the plane finally landed in Tokyo, the team got off and took a well deserved stretch. Rei noticed that his stomach was not pleased with the plane trip. He excused himself from the group to tend to his nausea. Rei found the nearest bathroom (with difficulty, for it is a fucking airport) and then proceeded to throw up the bread Nagisa bought him earlier. After a few minutes of continuous barfing, he heard a knock on the stall door and then heard, "Are you okay, Rei?" It was a familiar voice- Haru. Of course, Rei wasn't expecting this.

Rei didn't respond.

"You can tell me, it's not like I'll tell anyone else," Haru said in a monotone voice.

"How did you know that something was wrong?" Rei asked.

"Well… you've made it really obvious," Haru said. Right after that, Rei got another wave of nausea and threw up some more of what was nothing now.

"Man, are you air sick or something?" Haru asked, with his poker face.

"I-I guess," Rei stuttered and then coughed.

"What's really wrong?" It sounded as if Haru was reading off a teleprompter, and doing a shitty job at it. Rei decided to ignore this and think this random act of kindness was from the heart of Haru.

"I don't think I should tell you… It wouldn't be fair to the others, would it?" Rei asked.

Haru sighed and then said, "Let me in, Rei."

Rei sighed (lots of sighing) and opened the stall door. Some guy at the urinal shouted, "GAAAY!"

They gave him a death glare and he shut up.

"Go on," Haru said.

Rei gave him a confused look. He knew exactly what Haru was talking about, but he was just stalling (Haha… stall and stalling… cuz' they're in a stall… get it? "This is why I have no friends" - Kalu 2016 "That moment when you're one of Kalu's friends"- Shad 2016). He didn't want to talk about it, even if Haru would really keep his word about keeping whatever Rei said a secret. Haru just kept staring at him with the same face and waited for a response from the boy with red glasses. Rei finally gave in. He had to tell at least one person. Haru would be the perfect person.

"My second cousin, Kyoya, and I are pretty close, I-I think. And we're kind of the only sane people in our family, which is saying something."

So far Haru wasn't getting the point.

Rei continued, "Kyoya and I, are really, um, competitive, to say the least. Everything we do is a competition; grades, games, who can push their glasses up sexier (I totally won by the way), and even who could get the most attention from our teachers."

Haru still waited for Rei to finish, still giving him the same look he always has and not saying a word.

"I'm just worried that when we meet up with Kyoya, we are going to end up competing for who can kill each other in the most creative way possible…" Rei said sarcastically.

Haru finally realized the problem. He started to awkwardly pat Rei's back as Rei started to vomit. Again.

Once Rei was finished (which he obviously rushed), he grabbed Haru's hand and put it to his side. He shook his head, and looked to the side awkwardly.

As they exited the stall, the same man from earlier shouted, "GAAAY!"

"WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!" Rei shouted.

Another man who exited the stall next to Haru and Rei, was in tears.

"Your story moved me so much," he said.

"Hmm?" Rei asked.

"You know…" the man started again, grabbing Rei's hand and holding it with both of his, "You are really strong. How you have managed to keep up with this type of relationship is beyond me."

"Uhh, thanks?" Rei awkwardly scratched the back of his neck.

"Listen honey, from one gay to another-"

"I'm not gay!" (yes you are Rei, yes you are).

The man continued, "You're gonna family problems like this all of the time. But guess what? That's what makes family awesome. Every family has its quirks and that's what make you you, as cheesy as it sounds. Stay strong, and remember, a little competition is fine. Don't try to see who kills each other the best though."

Rei awkwardly retracted his hand from the man and thanked him.

"Thank you for your advice," Rei said, "It's better than this guy's," Rei pointed to Haru who was just staring at the water pouring out of the sink.

"No problem, Mister…" The man urged for the name of the boy with the red glasses.

"Ryugazaki Rei, and you are?" Rei asked.

"The name's Morow Hisoka," He licked his lips, washed his hands, and strutted out of the bathroom like a queen (WE DON'T OWN HXH EITHER).

Rei was slightly (by slightly, we mean extremely) creeped out. Haru was too busy staring at the sink to notice.

R, and ei got Haru's attention, notifying him that it was time to head back to the others. Once they found Makoto, NagisaGou, Nagisa began to shout at Rei again, "Rei! Are you okay!? We sent Haru to check on you because we were so worried!"

"I'm fine, Nagisa," Rei said calmly.

"Okay…." Makoto said with an unsure voice.
"Guys, let's get to the exit so we can meet up with our ride," Gou said.

The group agreed and headed towards the exit. The airport was like a maze, and Nagisa accidentally took some six year old girl's penguin suitcase, for it was the same style as his. The team face palmed.

"You guys judging me?" Nagisa asked with his punk voice. The group then freaked the fuck out and Nagisa pretended as if nothing happened. It's like he had some ultra persona or something.

The team decided to just brush it off and deal with the situation, so they could meet up with Rei's second cousin They got Nagisa's bag back and began to walk to where their ride was said to be. Rei was beginning to get nauseated again.

The group plopped down on the benches and waited for, umm, well they didn't actually know what they were waiting for

. So, they made the smart decision to just sit there and hope that Rei's cousin would walk up to them.

"What's this guy's name anyway?" Gou asked Rei.

"Oh, I haven't told you yet?" Rei asked, truly baffled about the fact that he forgot to tell them.

"No, you were too busy complaining about how 'not beautiful' your family was," Nagisa chirped.

"His name is Ootori Kyoya," Rei said blushing with embarrassment.

Everyone nodded.

In the corner of his eye, Rei could see a figure in the distance. He looked forward and his glistening purple eyes gazed upon a floppy-like figure jumping up and down like a maniac while holding some sparkly and illegible sign. He saw the familiar figure next to the floppy thing: Kyoya, who was clearly trying to keep his cool and pretend that he wasn't associated in anyway with the blonde.
