I follow Kyoya into a room full of flowers and fangirls. There seems to be some order in this chaos of fan-service, for I see groups of girls surrounding the hosts. The cacophony ceases. Heads turn. Eyes focus on me. I don't look down. I smile shyly.
Hunny races toward me and drags me to a cluster of fan-girls.
"Lucy-chan!" he exclaims, "I am so glad you came! Ooh! I'd better introduce you to the other hosts. That is, if it's okay with my friends."
He turns toward the small crowd, his face a mask of puppy-dog-eyed cuteness.
"Oh, of course it's fine with us, Hunny!" they concede, "That is, if Mori-san will keep us company!"
Hunny claps gleefully, and pulls me to another cluster. "You've already met Tamaki and Kyoya, so there are only three more hosts for you to meet!" he chirps, "I'll introduce you to the twins, first."
Hunny pushes his way through the circle of fan-girls surrounding two red-headed boys. "This is Hikaru," he confides, pointing to the one on the left, "and that is Kaoru. They're first-years."
I can tell that they are twins and troublemakers. Yes, I think that I may become good friends with them. I grin. Both of them grin back. Then, they both take out green caps.
"Lucy-chan!" they chime, "Let's see if you can remember which one is Hikaru! Close your eyes."
I do.
"Now open them!" they are both smiling like Cheshire cats, "Which one is Hikaru?"
For me, it is easy. Hikaru has a spot on his uniform. When I guess correctly, their green eyes widen. I imagine that it would be a little odd. It was odd back home, too. I am extremely observant, you see, so I notice little details that others do not. Sometimes people don't like when you can tell a lot about them from the tiny details.
Hunny grabs my arm again, "Now you meet Haruhi!"
He points to a brunette in the boy's uniform. I look at him in disbelief.
"But Hunny," I whisper, so as not to embarrass anyone, "that's a girl."
