WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yuuta sighed. He adored his brother, sure, and was happy, though he wouldn't admit it, when they retired tennis and applied to school together. In fact Ouran had been a double prize, because few knew who Syuusuke was and Yuuta was able to avoid comparison.

Unfortunately Yuuta had forgotten about Syuusuke's eccentrics during their separation. He had been abruptly reminded, however, when Syuusuke had sown up at his classroom and dragged him off, babbling about host clubs.

They arrived at the third music room to find several of Syuusuke's friends waiting outside. Yuuta was not comforted by the amount of trepidation he saw on their faces.

Suddenly the door opened and they entered in a swirl of rose petals.

"Oh, oh," a tall blonde declared, "You have arrived, o new members of my new club. Please make yourselves comfortable and do not be afraid to learn form our wonderful hosts."

Then a whirlwind of orange and blue appeared around Inui as the twins descended upon him and dragged him off to a side room. Yuuta mentally wished him luck and then Syuusuke was once again dragging him off.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Momo had decided that the Host Club was definitely worth joining. Currently he was surrounded by beautiful girls as he flirted and joked with ease. He turned a grin into a dazzling smile he focused on a lucky girl as he remembered Inui's earlier entrance.

-------

A few minutes after their disappearance the twins had pushed open the doors of the side room to reveal their latest work.

Inui's hair had been stylishly combed flat and they had forced him into contacts. He beautiful slanted blue-green eyes had still somehow shone with the familiar maniac gleam that made Momo shiver, but he was undeniably attractive.

-------

Momo's smile melted a bit as he remembered how Kaidoh had stared. He turned to look at his rival.

Kaidoh looked distinctly uncomfortable being surrounded by flirtatious girls. His shyness seemed to attract them like flies, and his tough exterior only encouraged them.

Momo chucked as he flinched away from a particularly tenacious girl and then winced himself when the enthusiastic president descended upon him and his group.

-------

Syuuichiro sat in companionable silence with Mori by the window. He smiled as he watched the rest of the club.

Kawamura was chatting with that nice boy, Haruhi, as they waited for their next client.

The president had taken it upon himself to teach Tezuka and Echizen social graces. Syuuichiro wished him luck.

Over in a corner he saw Inui and Kyoya writing in their notebooks. A shiver ran down his spine at the identical gleams in their eyes.

He turned to observe the Fujis. Personally he felt sorry for Yuuta. Syuusuke was avidly watching Hikaru and Kaoru perform one of their acts while slowly moving closer to his brother. Yuuta looked understandably nervous.

Finally Syuuichiro's gaze feel to his best friend. Eiji was happily eating cake with his new friend, Hunny, while the girls fawned over their adorable combination.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

It was after the club had closed when Hunny asked him a funny question. Eiji chocked on his tea.

"What?" he asked, sure he had misheard.

"I asked," Hunny said, sparkling faintly, "if you and Syuchi-chan would like to go on a double date with me and Takashi this weekend."

"Me and Oishi? Nya, but we're not dating," Eiji replied. Hunny's face fell.

"Ah, I'm sorry," he said, "i just though because you two are so close and look like you would be. I mean your all in sync,"

"Mitskuni." Hunny's rant was interrupted by a gentle hand descending upon his shoulder. The pair looked up to see Mori and just behind him, Syuuichiro.

Eiji was quiet. He and Oishi looked like they were dating? But they were only friends right? Then why were Hunny's words hitting a strange chord in his mind?

His train of though was interrupted by Oishi's voice,

"Shall we go, Eiji?"

"Um, sure," he replied, getting up. He was silent as they walked to the car waiting for them.

"Is something wrong? You're awfully quiet," Syuuichiro asked as they pulled out of the parking lot. Eiji looked at him quickly, then sighed and slumped against the seat.

"Do you like me Oishi?" he asked.

"Of course I do, you're my best friend," came the reply.

"No, I mean as in really like."

Eiji turned to stare at his friend and Oishi felt trapped by their verdant gaze. His heart sped up. he knew what he wanted to say. He wanted to tell Eiji how he loved spending time with him, how he liked to play tennis with him, though misty because he loved the energy Eiji exuded. How over the years he had fallen in love with his best friend. But the words wouldn't come. Instead he said,

"Why do you ask?"

Eiji looked out the window.

"I dunno. Hunny-chan said something to me today that made me think."

He turned back and Oishi felt his heart beat even faster.

"It made me think that I like you. That I really do like you, a lot."

Oishi could swear that his heart had stopped at that moment. His through attempted to work, but no words came out. He gave up and leaned forward, pressing his lips against Eiji's. After an eternal moment, he pulled back and looked in his friends eyes. There was nothing to say but,

"Me too."

And suddenly he had his arms full of a very happy Eiji.

-------

They stopped in front of Eiji's house and the redhead reluctantly pulled away from his new boyfriend. He exited the car and then turned around. Eyes sparkling with mischief he asked,

"We're going to join the host club?"

Oishi grinned,

"Of course."

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Tamaki smiled as he observed a happy couple in the garden.

He was alone so no one heard him as he said to himself,

"Good job Hunny-kun. I hope the next act is just a beautiful."

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

A/N: FYI: Syuuichiro is Oishi's first name.

The second act! Yay! I'd make speculations about the plot, but I already know what's going to happen, so I'll leave that up to you guys.
