"Welcome!" Rose petals swirled out at the guests and a cool, rose-scented breeze blew their hair gently. There were fangirl sighs and squeals, and then the host club was officially open for the day.

It was Marley's second day of hosting, and so far he enjoyed it. Being petted and fawned over constantly, sitting on the most comfortable chairs, and being fed quality food? That was the life for Marley.

Although there was more to being a dog host than met the eye. Tamaki had brought in his own dog, Antoinette, to teach Marley how to 'channel your cuteness'. Neither Marley nor Antoinette wanted to waste time giving Marley lessons, however, so they spent the time getting to know each other.

Marley stuck his tongue out, wagged his tail, and cocked his head, which meant, "I like you."

Antoinette did the same, without cocking her head. This meant, "I like you too."

Marley sat down next to her, yawned, and kept wagging his tail. This meant, "I'm a little sleepy, but I like hosting."

Antoinette blinked, meaning, "Me too."

Marley dipped his head toward the human hosts, who were busy with their clients. He meant, "What do you think of their dynamic?"

Antoinette sighed, then barked. Everyone looked over at her for a second, then resumed their talk. She looked back at Marley and flicked her ears.

That meant, "My master has a strange obsession with having a family, so he calls himself the 'daddy' and the others other family members. Your master, Mori-senpai, seems to have a thing for the brunette, the girl in boy's clothing. The others are all just friends, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Kyoya-senpai is secretly in love with my master."

'So Mori-sama likes Haruhi-senpai.' Marley thought. 'I think she likes him too.' Marley had been observing the shy glances and small smiles that came from the female host, directed at Mori.

Marley yipped softly at Antoinette, meaning, 'We should try and get them together."

Antoinette blinked a couple times. This meant, "Who? Tamaki-sama and Kyoya-senpai? Or Mori-senpai and Haruhi-senpai?"

Marley thumped his tail on the ground, which meant, "Both. Unless Tamaki-senpai isn't in love with Kyoya-senpai."

Antoinette dipped her head. Meaning, "It's worth a try."

Marley touched his nose to hers, meaning, "Mission established."

Antoinette stuck her tongue out and wagged her tail more, which was the dog equivalent of grinning.

It was settled. Operation G.O.M.P. (Get Our Masters Partners) was officially in motion.

Just then, Kyoya snapped his black book shut and said, "Unfortunately ladies, the host club is now closing. Thank you for coming and we hope to see you again."

Some of the girls chorused "Awww", but they all left, chattering excitedly. The humans all sat down, either to do a spot of homework or to have one last cup of commoner's coffee before going home.

"Well that was very successful." Kyoya spoke up. Everyone looked at him. "Since word has gotten out about Marley, requests for Honey and Mori have doubled." He smiled. "Well done."

Antoinette barked. "Congratulations!" She meant.

Marley blinked modestly. "Thanks." He meant.

Tamaki was watching the two dogs communicate with his chin in his hands. "Do you ever wonder what they're saying to each other?" He asked.
