Chapter Three

It was the end of my second day of Ouran Academy, and the twins hadn't talked to me once. I guess what I said really struck a chord or something.

I got up from my desk, collected my things, and headed out the door. I heard tons and tons of loud squeals and screaming, I look behind me and saw a huge crowd of girls around someone that I couldn't see. I shrugged and turned around. Just as I was opening the front doors of Ouran Academy to leave, a hand went over my mouth and an arm around my waist, and I was pulled into a closet. The closet door shut and the person locked it.

It was a tiny room completely dark that smelled like cleaning supplies. Probably the Janitor's closet. I looked beside me to the person, and squinted to make out who it was.

I saw shining eyes, and light hair.

Tamaki.

"What the hell Tama-" He clamped a hand over my mouth again, "Shh! They'll hear you say my name!" He whispered.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "I thought you loved this kind of stuff, though." He nodded, "Of course. I am a host after all."

"Then why-" He cut me off, making me purse my lips. "But apparently someone told the beautiful princesses that the first person to touch me would be my date to the ball we're holding on Friday."

"Oh, so-"

"But no one has a DATE to go there with, it's a host ball after all. All the princesses and princes there will get to dance with their favourite host or hostess."

"Hostess?" I eyed him suspiciously. "Oh yeah, the twins told Kyoya about how they're determined to make you smile and he thought it was really interesting, so they decided you'd become a hostess so the twins can have more time to make you smile."

My left eye twitched as I slowly took a seat on the ground, he just said that so casually..

Tamaki sat next to me. I turned my head, facing him.

"So they're bored and I'm their toy is basically what you're telling me."

He laughed nervously, "Of course not!" I glared.

"Yeah.."

I sighed. I looked back up at him, about to say something when the closet door swung open, and there stood a girl with determination on her face. She looked at me, then Tamaki, then me again. She was about to confront us when the whole crowd of squealing girls caught up, accidentally pushing the girl forwards.

She fell into Tamaki, which pushed him forwards onto me. I ended up on the ground, with him pinning me. I felt something soft on my lips, though.. I opened my eyes, and they widened.

Tamaki had been pushed onto me, and his lips were on mine.

All the girls shrieked.

Tamaki's eyes widened as well and his entire face went as red as a tomato.

"Tamaki what are you doing?! Get off her and come over to us!"

His lips lingered on mine for a bit too long, before he sat up, and all of the girls pounced him. But, he was able to make out,

"F-Fiona! You're….Hostess…Music room….3….Now…"

I understood and sighed, heading towards Music Room 3. I opened the doors, and rose petals flew all around me. I noticed no one was in the room other than the hosts. I guess all of the guests are mobbing Tamaki.

I looked at the twins, and they dropped their gaze to something else. I looked at Kyoya, he was smirking like usual. Haruhi looked bored, Mori was watching protectively over Honey, and Honey was playing with Usa-chan.

Nothing going on, I decided. So I turned around and opened the door to leave.

"Wait a minute, Fiona. The guests will be back shortly. Today we are cosplaying, you need to get in your costume."

I turned around and looked at him, with no emotion, "Costume?"

He nodded, "Twins?"

They nodded as well, though they looked like they didn't want to go near me as they picked me up, one arm from each of them under my armpits, and dragged me to a room.

"W-Wait! I can't be a hostess! I don't know how! No one even likes me, I'll have no guests, and even if I did get a few, they'd all be bored of me!"

The twins stopped, and stepped in front of me. I looked up at them with wide eyes as they started to talk,

"That's why we're going to get you to smile, then no one will be bored of your cold, emotionless attitude!" They finished, thrusting their fists into the air.

My left eye twitched. They just insulted me like it was nothing. I pursed my lips, then opened my mouth to retaliate. But before I could, the twins picked me up again the same way, and shoved me in a room with an outfit.

I looked down at the black and white pieces of cloth they had stuck in my arms. I shrugged and started to put it on. It'd just be like on the catwalk, wearing ridiculous outfits with no complaining. I finished putting it on and looked in the mirror.

"Are you kidding me?" I said. I was wearing a maid outfit, a black and white short sleeve dress with a white frilly apron on top, I had black socks pulled up onto my upper thigh, showing and big bunny ears on.

I sighed. I looked down at the skin showing on my thighs. Crap.

I didn't think any skin would be showing there today, so I didn't conceal all the cuts and bruises on it.

"U-Uhm.. Kyoya?"

"Yes, Fiona?"

"D-Do you guys.. perhaps.. have concealer and setting powder?" Suddenly a dramatic voice spoke up.

"Why would you need that, Fiona? Your face is flawless enough, you do not need to cover up." I guess Tamaki got out.

I sighed loudly, "Please. I really need some."

"Very well." Kyoya said. He yanked open the curtains and I gasped, pulling down the skirt of the dress to cover my thighs.

His eyes were wide for a second, before he put his 'cool and calm' face back on.

The twins didn't hide it though, their eyes wide and faces extremely red. As well as Tamaki. Haruhi looked at the outfit with disgust, and me with sympathy. Honey just looked at Tamaki and the twins with confusion, while Mori stared at the ground.

I shrugged. I took the makeup out of Kyoya's hands, and closed the curtain again, quickly concealing my thighs. I then walked back out with the 'perfect' skin on my thighs.

I noticed that the host club members all were in butler outfits with animal ears on. Honey and Mori had bear ears on, the twins had tiger ears on, Kyoya and Haruhi had dog ears, and Tamaki had bunny ears like me. They also all had animal tails to match the animal ears, as did I.

I shrugged for the hundredth time and sat down on a couch next to Tamaki. I looked over and we made eye contact before he looked to the side with a red face and wide eyes.

"Y'know, avoiding eye contact only makes what happened more awkward." I said to him, looking at the side of his face.

"What happened?" I heard Honey's high-pitched voice ask. Tamaki quickly raised his head to look at Honey,

"Noth-"

"We kissed." I cut him off.

Hikaru dropped the tea pot he was holding, it fell and cracked into pieces. Kaoru and Haruhi stopped in their tracks, looking at us wide eyed. Even Kyoya stopped writing in his little black book to look at us.

Tamaki's eyes somehow got even wider, and his face redder. He looked back down at the ground.

"You WHAT!" Hikaru yelled.

I sighed, laying a hand on my forehead. "It was an accident." Everyone still seemed shocked, and I noticed Haruhi slightly agitated. She masked it well, though.

A minute passed and everyone was still staring, except the twins. Hikaru was glaring at Tamaki, and Kaoru was looking at the ground, seemingly a little upset.

Well, I guess when a random girl comes along and kisses your boss, you'd be pretty upset.

That must be why the twins are so upset.. right?
