JD: Thank you my beautiful beta *Hearts* Enjoy! Review!
Elementary Host? Part Two
"Right now we have the perfect blend of characteristics. I'm not so sure we're going to find a new type beyond these." Kyoya act like the conversation I want to have now more than ever, will never happen.
"His age suggests the boy Lolita type..." Hikaru said at once and I pull Honey close to me when he start to whimper.
"But that would overlap with Honey-senpai." Kaoru pointed out. I look to them slightly confused but they waved me off easy. They do know this boy looks scared as can be right? I wonder looking back to the boy.
"Am I in the way now?" Honey cried and I pull him even closer going down to his ear.
"Hon-Hon, no one will ever replace you." I coo at him softly and he cling to me tightly as he cried. Mori look to me with a slight raised eyebrow and I shrug my shoulders slightly.
"Tepid! Quite tepid!" I heard someone yell out and startle-…that just isn't the word for it. I jump and Mori caught me. Much like those old Scooby-Doo shows when Scooby gets scared and Fred or one of the others catches him. The next thing I know is I hear a motor and a girl is coming from out of the floor.
"Like I said, this is supposed to be a music room, right?" I tap Mori on the shoulder and motion him to put me down. He did so without much trouble and I pull Honey to me hugging him tightly trying to make him stop crying.
"Gentlemen of the Host Club, to think that you'd be so lackluster in your character analysis, I am a little bit dumbfounded." this brown hair and eyes girl looks familiar but not sure how. She is wearing a school uniform and pink bow. She's pretty but who is she?
"Alright. Renge-kun, Miss Manager, how would you work with the material he's got?" Tamaki asked and I snuggled to Honey on the floor not really caring what they are doing. Honey needs some loving! Honey was dragged away from me by Tamaki who picked him up easy. "We've already got the boy Lolita type covered with Honey-senpai." He told them and I snatch my cuddle buddy away from him and growl softly as I snuggle back to the adorable senior.
"This is why I said you're lackluster! Listen up!" The girl yelled out making everyone jump slightly as she pointed out. "While it's true that there are some girls who feel their hearts beat faster in a way that's hard to explain over boys of younger age group, or who have baby-faces, who we call Lolicon fans, it is still a fairly broad category, whose preferences can be further split into even more delicate classifications. Yes, while Haninozuka-senpai may represent the adorable little boy type of the boy Lolita category, in that one's case, the direction he should take is the naughty-boy type, without a doubt!" The girl is slightly freaking me out and everyone is either paying extra close attention or still in state of shock. Is Kyoya taking notes?
The cage was then lifted off the boy and the girl start to blow a whistle 'training' the boy. I picked Honey up, grabbed Mori's hand then pull them off to the sidelines with me and Haruhi. Haruhi was the one that was leading me. Once there I leaned against her still holding Honey and wondering what the hell is going on. I leaned my head to the side.
"What the hell?" I ask and the others looked just as confused as me.
"Never mind!" the boy screamed out making me jump slightly out of being startled- not scared like the girl did to me. "There's no way I'll make her happy with this." he said before running off.
"Who's her?" Haruhi and I asked at the same time.
"Hey, Shiro!" Tamaki called after him. "You still have your applied technique lesson coming up!" I want to bonk him in back of the head now. Seriously?! Was he NOT listening!?
The door was slammed shut and then the girl was standing on the thing she came on in with her back turn to us. I turn to face her when she said. "Younger boys are just no good for anything, huh?" She started to spin down in to the floor again. "After I took the trouble of coaching him, he won't keep going."
"Seriously!?" I screamed at her making her stop almost completely down. "I feel sorry for the boy because most wouldn't like having to do that stupid stuff!" I growl out. My protective nature is showing. I am really a wolf inside and I know it.
"Lee." Mori said putting his hand on my head and making me stop though I want to strangle this girl.
"What a selfish kid, not taking a liking to the lessons he was getting."
"Typically, no one would take a liking to that sort of lesson." Haruhi spoke up surprising Tamaki. I smiled; finally someone is batting for the kid! I mean I'm pro anything Honey and Mori, even if the kid was mean to Honey, but something about him draws me to him.
"Don't worry about that." I said standing up straight handing Mori Honey.
"Aren't you a little bit concerned about him?" Haruhi asked making everyone think about it besides me. I walk over to her and lean against her again.
"He was saying he doesn't have any time." I said and she nodded her head. "What could that mean?" I wonder though I don't trust my brain to not go to a bad place. Not naughty just dark.
"What's more he said something about a 'her.'" Haruhi added looking to the now closed door. Kyoya is writing in his notebook like always and Tamaki looks surprised and interested.
~Next Day~
"No." I said flatly walking pass them to where I was heading. The twins deflate slightly pouting. They want me to dress up in a girl middle school uniform. They want both Haruhi and I to do it but I keep on pushing off my final decision on joining the Host Club so they can't force me in to dresses or girly outfits.
Yet.
No one asked you.
We walked behind the now dressed middle school uniform-ed Haruhi and Honey in an elementary uniform. They both look so cute!
"How did we get to this point?" Haruhi asked aggravated that the twins got her to do this but not me. I stuck my tongue out at her when she glared at me for not doing it.
"We snuck in easily enough. I look like I'm in grade school dressed like this, so I'll be okay, Haru-chan." Honey comforted her.
"We should have added a brown wig to his outfit." I told the twins. They gave me a confuse look and I shrug. "Their eyes look similar enough; just add a brown wig they would look like they are siblings." I told them causing a double take as they were imagining him with a brown wig.
"Yeah you do. I can understand you wearing an elementary-school uniform to sneak into the elementary school- and Honey-senpai, I do think you look good in that- but why do I have to dress up in a middle-school outfit?" She asked all confused-like after her mini-rant.
"All right, the mission is underway." Tamaki said in a creepy voice. The others are paying way to close attention to this and it's slightly creepy too.
I roll my eyes at them… idiots. They are all drooling over Haruhi saying how she looks like a little doll or something like that. Kyoya made a comment about how he just wanted to see her dress up like that.
"This is why I said no." I told him and he nodded his head in understanding. Once they went in to the room the hall clear out and we walked in afterward. "There's nobody here." Haruhi said after going in.
"Oh, there's no one here, is there?" Ask Tamaki.
"This takes me back."The twins chorused, walking in as I smirked slightly rolling my eyes.
"I wonder if the doodles are still on my desk." Said Hikaru…I think, I'm not paying close attention.
Kyoya who's right behind them answer. "The school changes out all the desks each year." I am standing beside Mori and Tamaki is in front of us.
"Let's go to the cafeteria after this." Hikaru suggest and I could tell Haruhi was getting aggravated at us, mostly them.
"…And the gymnasium, too." Kaoru added.
I hold my breath to keep from laughing at the look that Haruhi is giving them. "Good idea, good idea."
"If you're going to come in such large numbers, there's no reason to disguise ourselves and sneak in, is there?" Haruhi asked in a whisper and I smirk at Tamaki waiting for him to answer her.
"Who cares?" One twin start and I lean my head against Mori's arm a little light headed.
He look down to me tilt his head to the side as to question if I'm okay and I smile up to him and yawn slightly. "Tired." I mumble softly. He nodded his head in understanding and let me lean against him.
"There's nobody here." The other twin finished the thought.
Then there were footsteps and I pop the twins on the back ofthe head. "Tweedledum! Tweedledee! You jinxed us!" I grumbled at them as we all went down below desk level so no one can see us.
"If the teacher finds us" starts one twin and I wanted to pop them again.
"It sure will be a pain coming up with an excuse why we snuck in." said the other. I softly groan hiding my face in to Mori's pulled me closer to him and I felt a blush lightly cross my cheeks.
"Shh!" I look up to Haruhi. "Be quiet!" She whisper yelled at them with her finger to her lips. "Zip your lips!" She again quietly screaming at them and showing them a zipping motion with her lips and the idiot trio did it too blushing. Mori just pull me closer when I start to fall and rest me against his chest. I know my face is getting redder by the moment. My heart is barely keeping up with my body and it's beating so fast.
Haruhi got up and went to the door checking to make sure the teacher was leaving once the footsteps sounded to start to go away. I stayed where I am still trying to slow my heart rate down. "Looks like he's gone…" Haruhi said turning to us. "Lee, are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
I nod my head pushing myself off of Mori and straightening my shirt. "Yeah, slight fear of getting in trouble." I admit though part of me feels like that's a lie.
"Now that we've snuck in like this, how are we going to find out more about Shiro-kun?" Haruhi turn to the boys knowing I was just dragged in to this.
"Here's something interesting." We all turn to Kyoya who somehow ended up on other side of the room without us noticing… Shadow King can be scary. He's standing by Honey looking at the wall.
We all walked over to him, Haruhi is the one that spoke though. "What is it?" Kyoya just point at a picture and I softly gasp and did and awed, seeing it's the brat, Shiro, playing a piano with a pretty girl."Shiro-kun?" Asked Haruhi and I felt the twins get on either side of me letting me lean back to them.
"The Classical Music Club, huh?" Kyoya said what I guess was the most obvious thing.
Haruhi said out of her own amazement. "He seems to been joying himself." Then thought about it for a few seconds. "So Shiro-kun really can look like that, when he smiles." I smirk glancing to her from corner of my eye. Maybe she's been around me too long.
"Yeah." Said Tamaki and the twins let me lean on them more as I start to feel my eyes get heavy. Kaoru face was dusted with a blush and Hikaru just pull me closer to them with a slight smirk. I wonder why they are being so nice to me right now… should I be scared?
We are being led by Tamaki and Kyoya to where the Classical Music Club is held. Looking in to the glass of the room from the hall I can hear Honey say something. "There he is. That's Shiro-chan." He slightly cheers for finding the boy. I walk over to them tired and yawn slightly but saw a pretty girl that was from the picture walk over to Shiro and talk to him. After that she walked over to the grand piano and start to play a song that's really pretty but making me more sleepy then I already am.
"Takashi, maybe you should bring Lee back to the club." Honey said with a frown. I look down to the smaller Senior and then the bigger one nod his head answering his older cousin.
"Mori, you don't have to." I said real fast shaking my hands in front of my face.
"It's fine." he said scooping me up and I slightly squeal hiding my face in to his jacket. I hate it when people do that.
He placed me down on a couch and I grab his arm pulling himdown beside me. He sat down and I put my head on his chest curling up to hisside. I glance up and saw a light color in his cheeks. I don't know if he's blushing or if I'm just so tired I'm seeing things….. again.
I closed my eyes and had a few minutes of quiet before the door open and I could hear Shiro yelling something about putting him down. I look up just in time to see Tamaki dropping him on to the couch not far from Mori and I. "What do you think you're doing, you idiot king!?" Shiro yelled at him.
I don't think I've ever seen Tamaki this upset or serious. EVER. I didn't think it could happen. "You're the idiot." He told the younger boy who looked up in surprise. "Teach you how to make women happy, you say?" He ask and I snuggle closer to Mori with my eyes half open watching things play out but too tired to really take them in yet. "Don't make me laugh!" Tamaki is really fired up. "However much you ask, how are we to answer that?" Tamaki is still slightly screaming at him. "It's not some unspecified number of girls you want to make happy, it's just one girl, Kamishiro Hina, isn't it?" he asked in a softer tone. The boy looks very surprise that Tamaki could figure that out."Only you can find the way to do that, right? Listen to me, as hosts, it's our job to make girls happy." he explain but still fired up just not yelling. "But the truth is, when it comes to a single girl that you like, it's not as a host that you must face her, but as a man." Tamaki explain and my eyes are starting to get heavy again. I'm fighting the sleep though. "It's not a full-fledged host that you want to become; it's a full-fledged man, isn't it?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. There's no time." Shiro told them. Mori start to get up making me whimper softly and he stop settling back down pulling me closer to him. His warmth is comforting me. Don't judge me. "I just wanted to at least watch her play as much as I could before she left. That's all."
"That set piece was a duel arrangement of a Mozart sonata, right?" Tamaki asked and I'm slightly surprised that he knew that. I did only because of my grandfather's obsession with Classical music.
Tamaki walk over to a side of the room that's always curtain up and open the curtain to revile a piano. Tamaki look at it lovingly as he walk over to it and open the key part up getting ready to play it looks like.
"Has there always been a grand piano in this room" Haruhi asked and I smirk looking back to where she is.
"I never been behind the curtains so I didn't know it was there." I told her with a smirk though it's a tired one.
"This is supposed to be a music room, after all." one twin started.
"Yes, even though it may not be in use." the other finished that thought.
"It is a music room, after all." Kyoya said sipping tea.
"Music room." Said Mori with his deep voice making me smile and close my eyes again.
"It was there before; it was just where you couldn't see it." Honey said and I yawn letting myself be drifted in to sleep by the music Tamaki is playing, didn't know he could play.
For the next week we did nothing but help Tamaki teach Shiro how to play the piece for when Tuesday come.
I ran back after dropping a letter/invitation off with Hina and got back in to the club smiling as I called "Places everyone she's coming."I am mostly dressed and surprisingly for this I'll wear ugly white and not my pretty black stuff. We are all dress in white and have red ties with yellow strips going around them. A twin on one side with Kyoya, Haruhi, and of them is the other twin, Mori with Honey on his back and I behind him across from Tamaki. We all held out our hands motioning the pretty girl forward as rose pedals fly around us.
"Welcome, Princess. We've been waiting for you." we all said at once. White tail coats and brown paints along with black nice shoes that men wear to church.
"Today's main program will be Takaoji Shiro's piano recital." Tamaki introduce for us as he motioned to the grand piano. He then walked forward pulling out a chair for the girl. "Princess, if you please." Tamaki spoke so softly and proper it's so strange to his normal crazy personality.
"Let's play together." Shiro said with a smile and light blush making the girl blush a little more than normal but eyes lit up.
"Okay!" She cheers slightly glowing from happiness. They played the piece.
I smile leaning my head on Tamaki's shoulder so he can hear me but I not interrupt the two kids playing music. "You did well." I told him softly. He smiled down at me.
"We've done a good thing." He agreed and slightly corrected me.
"Wholehearted love..." Haruhi started then let her voice fade slightly then look up to Tamaki. "Is that another way that Shiro-kun takes after you, Tamaki-senpai?" She asked him. I pull away then walk over to Honey placing my hand on top of his head. He looked up to me with a huge smile and I smiled back at him.
I could just barely hear Tamaki answer her and look to seethe look he was giving her. "Yeah, positively so." He agreed with a look that made me realize that he's completely infatuated with Haruhi, isn't he? And I bet he's absolutely clueless about it.
