{Edward's p.o.v.}
"So..., who are you?"
I turned my head to see what looks like a guy. He was wearing a baggy sweater and jeans. He was also wearing a pair of big glasses, like how fuery wears. His hair is scruffy and unkempt, like he never heard of a comb. Despite the appearance, the voice holds some femininity... I don't know why...
He/she tilts his/her head "You look kinda irritated..." I rest my hand in my palm "Yeah, I am... I met the host club..."
Roses engulf the screen and as they flew away, text appeared being narrated by Edward
(Starting today, Edward Elric! You are a host!)
{Earlier, 3rd person p.o.v.}
Edward and tamaki stood before a large porcelain doors, that of music room#3. They had came to ouran academy and will soon meet the host club, tamaki smiled "Ready for work, my little piglet?" He raised his finger while winking
Edward grabbed tamaki's shirt and lifted him high, to about his tippy-toes since Tamaki was taller, and raised his fist preparing to strike "Who the hell you're calling 'little', ya pompous bastard..." He growled
Tamaki nervously smiled while wagging his finger "Ah, ah, ah... need I increase the amount of money for the damages you caused?..." Edward, begrudgingly, let's go 'No need to increase the bill' he thought
He grumbles "Just what the hell is a host club anyway..." Tamaki smiled as he preformed a variety of moves while answering "The host club is a joint project, where incredibly handsome men with simply too much time on their hands, as they entertain beautiful maidens who also have too much time on their hands." He ended with a bow
Edward compiled this information "So, essentially... You guys are man-whores?..." Tamaki gasped in shock as he nearly tipped over, 'Moron...' Edward thought
Tamaki stood up smiling, regarding his composure "Not at all, we simply provide dazzling entertainment. Now... behold!" He pushes the door open as Edward's vision was engulfed in a bright light, soon followed by flying rose petals
When the light died down, he caught a glimpse of the room's occupants. One was a young man, who's height and appearance dictates he's a preschooler. Another is a really tall and stoic looking guy, besides his titan height, nothing of interest. One is is a rather height-y size wearing a pair of glasses, which the light is reflecting of them so he couldn't see his eyes. The next two were both identical, with matching red spiky hair
(I'm not going into details on how they all look like, look it up on Google from this point on)
Both of the twins, in unison "+Huh? Boss, who's this guy?" The twins walked up to examine Edward
Then the guy in the glasses spoke up " I would like to hear too, tamaki" he pushed his glasses up a bit higher, examining Edward from afar
The Lolita walked up, holding a stuffed bunny, with eyes of innocence "Hello, are you tama-chan's friend? Would you like to hold usa-chan?" He smiles holding the bunny towards Edward, which he just shakes his hand "Um.. nah... I'm good..."
The titan host came up behind the Lolita and stared at Edward "..." edward began to feel uncomfortable, 'So... he's a character...'
Tamaki smiles "Ah, as you remembered from this morning, I contacted you all of... the recent damages to my home..." He stared off to the side, remembering all the money going into repairs. He is extremely rich, so money isn't truly an issue, but still... remembering the time with his mother... ugh...
Glasses continued "Ah, and you then mentioned... our new dog?" He looked at Edward in interest "Edward elric, I presume? My name is kyoya Ootari, of the Ootari group." He extended his hand, which Edward then shaked "Yeah.. it's Edward, okay kyoya..."
The Lolita smiled "Ah! You are our new friend! I'm mitsukuni Haninozuka, but you can call me 'Honey-senpai'!" He smiles as he pointed at the titan "And that's takashi!"
Takashi looked at Edward "Takashi morinozuka, just mori please..." "Don't talk much?.." Mori-senpai nods... doesn't seem very important...
The twins walk up and talk in unison again "+We're the hitachiin brothers, hikaru and karou!" They smiled, Edward took notice of the speech patterns, one has a noticeable higher pitch in the voice the other is lower and...familiar. Just which is which?
The twin on the left said "I'm hikaru." And the twin on the right said "And I'm kaoru." They both smirked as began to run in a circle in quick succession, they stopped, also deciding to put on identical hats, they smiled "+Now let's play the 'Which one is Hikaru' game!"
To anyone else, this would be really hard... "The one to the left is Hikaru" They shake their head's in no "+Nuh uh"
Edward frowned "Nah, I see the difference" And he walked away from the twins. The difference between them is that kaoru had a softer voice pitch, while Hikaru sounded like ling, a voice he could recognize, making it a bit easier
Honey-senpai ran up holding some cake with a smile "Edo-chan! You want some cake?" He said, holding the pastry over. Edward shrugged and took the pastry, then taking a bite "And who you're calling edo-ch-" He stopped as he tasted, 'What...'
Honey-senpai smiled "That's a new recipe the cook's made, half cake and half milk!" That was all Edward needed to hear, he spat out the cake and proceeded to wipe his tongue "Disgusting cow mucus?! Disgusting! Disgusting! DISGUSTING!"
Hikaru stared blankly "...the matters with you?" Edward proceeded to blow a raspberry at nowhere "Milk is disgusting! I hate that shit!"
Both twins looked at each other, then smiled devilishly. "+Thinking what I'm thinking?..." they said before running out of the music room, only to return, with kaoru holding a carton of milk
Hikaru then grabs Edward from behind and holds him down, Edward growls "What the hell?!" Hikaru smiles "Don't worry, Edo-chan!" "We need to help strengthen your bones so you can stop being such a midget" Kaoru continued, smiling "+So you need your milk!"
Edward's eyes widen "You wouldn't..." Then he notice kaoru's choice of words "AND WHO YOU CALLING A HALF-PINT BEAN-" Taking advantage of Edward's opened mouth, kaoru pours the carton down Edward's throat. Edward's eyes widen as the lactose extract poured down his throat.
Kyoya took a step back from the madness and opened his laptop. He decided to some research on this 'Edward Elric' and see what to expect. Kyoya types in a search engine and was surprised to find...
Nothing
No birth records, no school records, not even a shrew of evidence of any Elric's! Though, he keeps getting recommendations of a book by Michael Moorcock. This is going to be a interesting experience
{Present, the he-she p.o.v.}
This guy met these rich morons too? Yeesh, these guys are malicious... "You too?..." The guy nodded "Yeah..." he looked at me with with his hand out "Edward elric, male dog of the host club's morons." He smiled
Why did he mention that he was a guy? Then again, it wouldn't be hard to confuse that with him.. I shook his hand "Haruhi fujioka, female dog of the host club morons." I smile, it is fun to say that out loud
He chuckled "They got you too, huh? What are you in for?" I sigh, that is a kinda lengthy story
"I was looking around for a place to study when I entered the music room and met these jerks. I try to escape but that 'suou' guy kept harassing me, knocking me into a 8 Million dollar vase..." I sighed, was that on purpose?... "And it broke, now I owe those jerks that much money..."
He scratched his head "I take it your not rich either?." 'he owes them money too? Better remember that' I thought "Nope, I'm just an honors student, I won a scholarship here." He smirks "You must be really smart then..." He stood up and I saw him looking at me, head to toe "So... why the guy look?..."
I sighed again, exquisite this guy is.. "I got gum stuck in my hair on the first day, so I cut it all off. And I couldn't afford the uniform here, so I just picked something out of my dad's closet." He nods, a look of understanding appears "Got it.." "Hey, mind I ask you something?"
He shrugs "Equivalent exchange, okay" I tilt my head, that sounded familiar.. "Um... first, what?" I asked confused, he smiles "To gain anything in life, something of equal value must be lost. You gave me info on you, so in return, I'll give you info." 'i knew that sounded familiar' I nod
"So... why are you here?..." "I was traveling and I accidentally broke some of that suou-idiots property, so now I'm paying for it..."
I sighed, 'suou does this on purpose, definitely..' "He got you too, huh?." He nods, sighing too "Hey, those guy's told me to go to the store and pick up some stuff, wanna come?" He nods, smiling "Better than being here." I smile, 'This guy is pretty fun'
{Later, 3rd person p.o.v.}
"Spurned, neglected but non of that matters now, long live the poor! We welcome you poor man to our world of ~crap!~" Edward spreaded his arms if giving a big hug. Haruhi had mentioned how much Edward sounded like that tamaki, so he decided to put his improvisation skills to work "I'll be king of the host club morons! And I know all the boobylicious girls!"
Haruhi giggled, enjoying Edward's mocking of the reason they're here. The host club morons told them to get them coffee beans and napkins. Little things, but it did empty haruhi's wallet a bit. They re-entered the building and returned to the music room... as the host club was open
The twins were performing a very homoerotic skit involving twincest, which the girls seeing gushed all over. This cause both Edward and haruhi to gag in revolt "Oh look... the homosexual supporting cast..." Edward muttered lightly so only Haruhi could hear, who snickered
Mori-senpai was seen coming in with honey-senpai, sleeping on his back, causing the girls there to sqee with delight. Haruhi snickered "Is that guy really a upperclassmen?.." while Edward stared as a memory popped up...
{Flashback, amestris, 12 years ago}
A young boy of three years is watching a baby boy of only a year younger than him, named alphonse elric. His brother, Edward, is looking after him while their mother was getting groceries and their father is busy researching.
"Ugh.." Edward sighed "This is boring... why did mommy asked me to do this, nothing is happening..." Then... *grumbles*..
"Huh?.." Edward stared at the child in front of him, as he was shaking awake and looks like he was about to...
Edward eyes widened "W-wait, Don't cry..." Edward tries to console al, while he was shaking "Wait! You're hungry, right?.. let's get something to eat.." He tried to pick up the baby and realized he was too heavy for him to lift "grr.. come on.." he growls then gives up
He looked at the baby, as a tear leaked from his eye...
Edward gritted his teeth and tossed the baby on top of his back and carried him like that, heavily panting as he travelled down the hall
He reached the kitchen and quickly, and begrudgingly collected the milk from the fridge, giving it to Alphonse in a bottle, which Al happily drank
Edward smiled until he sawed his mother standing at the doorway, who giggled "M-mom?!" She smiled "You did a good job, my little man." she calmly patted him on his head, causing Edward to blush slightly, hearing his nickname
"Mommy... I couldn't lift Al.. like you do.." she smiled "Don't worry about that, Edward. You did remarkable for your age.." he smiled at his mother, always thankful for her kind words.
She smiled "Maybe you can help look after winry too, hmm?" Edward eyes widened as he collapsed with the thought of looking after both kids at his age. Alphonse sawed and giggled at his funny brother
In the years since then, Edward had looked over these two. And after the human transmutation, whenever Edward was too tired to walk himself, the youngest elric would repaid his brother for the service all those years ago...
Haruhi snapped her fingers in front of Edward, having spaced out for a minute. "Hey, Edward.." Edward shook his head and looked at her "Sorry, got lost there for a second.."
'Lost in what?..' Haruhi thought about until.. "Oh speak of the devil! Thanks for doing the shopping, little piglets, did you get everything on our list?" Edward, mind out of the memory, gritted his teeth at the 'little' comment as he and haruhi left the items on the table.
Both were sweatdropping at these rich idiots reaction to instant coffee and how Tamaki made a big show on drinking it... 'I hate all these damn rich people..' who thought this? Both of them
After making coffee for the club, both took a quick swig at the coffee they made "Edward, aren't you going to put some cream in?" Ed gritted his teeth "I hate milk..."
Haruhi, after finishing, was immediately tackled by honey-senpai "Haru-chan!"And spun her around, 'Did they know?...' Edward was interrupted by honey-senpai "Hey, haru-chan. Wanna have some cake with me? He asked smiling, haruhi replied very dizzily "Thanks.. but I don't really like...cake.."
Honey-senpai then offered for her to hold his toy bunny and was surprised at her reaction at usa-chan as she looked on the verge of sqweeing. He could just imagine a light going off in Honey-senpai's brain. He smirks, 'None of these morons could tell?..'
"You notice that our club utilizes each man's characteristics to cater to the desires of our guests." Kyoya pops up, scaring both host dog's while explaining how exactly the host club operates "Just so you know, Tamaki is number one around here. He's the king, his request rate is 70%" we looked to see the king of the host club talking to several women. The dog's scoffed "Just what the hell is the word coming to..." who said that? Both
"And to pay off your debts to the host club, you will ask as the host club's dogs until we all graduate." He smiled "I'm sorry, I meant our errand boy's" haruhi stares in shock wile ed grumbles 'That long?.. yeesh, the next time I see truth, I'm knocking the bastard out...'
Kyoya made a comment about his family's private police force and what should happen if they tried to escape, being the only way to leave.. is to leave Japan altogether. Edward didn't mind while Haruhi looked terrified, Kyoya then made a comment on them having passports
"You two are going to have to work hard to pay off your debts." Tamaki moved behind both of his new dog's "My little nerd.." he blow into haruhi's ear, scaring her. She breathe hard "please don't do that again.." he looked at both of them before turning his full attention to Haruhi
"You need a makeover, or else no girls are ever going to look twice at you." 'It's confirmed, he's an idiot." Thoughts of Edward or Haruhi? Need we say? Haruhi said "Well yeah, I'm not trying to get girls to look at me.." 'Because she/I am a girl..' both...
"Are you kidding me?.." The vision of everyone in the music room was blinded by a large bright white light, the Tamaki is seen holding a rose "It is the most important thing..you'll have to learn to be a gentleman to please the ladies, like me." Tamaki smiled as he posed, holding the rose. Edward physically gagged, honestly wanting to tell that Haruhi is a girl, but she wants to see how long until they figure it out 'I expect... graduation if they try really hard.'
Haruhi wholeheartedly mentally agreed "I just don't think it's all that important," Tamaki shook slightly as haruhi continued "Why should I care about appearance's and labels anyway, I mean it's what's on the inside, right?.. I don't even understand why you guys have a host club like this..." Edward chuckled, quite a way to put it, huh?'
Of course, Tamaki didn't catch the meaning "It's a cruel reality, isn't it?" Both Edward and Haruhi figures slump as he continues, striking a lousous pose "It's not often that god creates a person like 'mou', beautiful both inside and out." Both of them stared at the host who is clearly in love with himself, deapanned looks all around 'God huh?..must've been a slip-up, he isn't so merciful..' Edward darkly thought.
Tamaki continued to praise himself to the high heavens while Edward and Haruhi mentally wondered how to describe the over condescending host "There's a word for guys like him.. hmm.. what is it?.' both thought, deciding on.. "Obnoxious!" Causing Tamaki to retreat into the corner in a fetal position, emitting a dark aura
Quickly apologizing to him, Haruhi not Edward who very much meant it, Tamaki immediately hopped back up. The twins, who both walked over, remarked on how Haruhi would go far looking as "HE" is, proving to the dogs that the host is full of morons. Hikaru removed Haruhi's glasses revealing her big Brown eyes to the host club and to Edward, who could've seen it before but he kept thinking about fuery with those glasses 'So that's what she looks like without them, huh?.. nice I suppose...'
The host club immediately went to action on giving Haruhi a guy makeover, leaving Edward in the music room with the guests, Tamaki shouted as he left "Keep the guests entertained!" And the door slams, Edward eyes diluted "How the hell can I do that?!" But was rewarded with silence... he turned to see all the girls staring at him, making him awkward "uhh..."
Something fell out of Edward's pocket, catching everyone's attention. Edward looked down and sees his research notes/ Travelogue 'Huh?... how?.. I wonder..' he opened the book And he read all the exploits of him and Alphonse, he smiled in remembrance
"Hmm?" "What's that?.." were what the women of the music room thought curiously about the book.. before Edward noticed "Oh.. sorry.. um.. " He nervously began reading his book, all the women noticed his appearance, and.. How good he looked!
His golden hair braided with a tied bow at the end, his nice facial structure giving him a angular look, his fashion sense was elaborate and very distinctive, was it made by some long by an up and coming designer? But the most intriguing part of him is his eyes, which seemed like two dazzling pools of pure gold, the same with his hair. Many swooned, wondering who was this new host...
Edward noticed the stares, and read his old notes "Um..." He looked at a girl who just raised her voice to catch his attention "W-what is that?.." she asks, how can he responded to this?!..
"It's um..." the exploits of his adventures? "Old story's I made with my brother.." They nod, all intrigued, he has a brother, who?.. "You have a brother? Where is he?.." Edward gulped, he doesn't know what to do now... "He's... gone.." 'Or rather, I'm gone' looked down
The girls all stared, realizing they went to far... except one "Um... what did you two.. used..to write?.." the girl's all stared at me the one who spoke with glares, making her begin to retreat from sight. Edward sighed, looks like it's story time... "Wanna hear?.." They all stared at Edward and silently nods, waiting for his words
Edward sighed, 'Al, looks like I'm going to talk ourselves...'
{Story time, Edward Elric edition}
A average sized teen of fifteen was seen walking cross a mountain of sand in the middle of a desert. He was wearing a every distinguished outfit, also carrying a suitcase. He sighs, tired and hot "Augh... I hate deserts..it's nothing but sand.." He falls face first into the sand, extremely tired. "Ugh...if there was some grass I could turn it to bread.. I'm starving!.."
He picks up his head and get on his knees , looking around "Hey Al, where'ja go?.." his voice gains a bit of brashness "Al! Hey!" A voice appears, "Down here.." then a huge metal fist grabbed onto his leg, causing the teen to scream...
Edward happily continued speaking of his and Alphonse's trip to liore. The girls, still thinking it was a made up story, were incredibly drawn into the story being told. Edward got to the part where he revealed his automail after beating up the chimera's. So he decided to pull a sight host-clubish act, gripping onto his coat and jacket. He decided not to tear them off this time
He put on a convincing cornello impression "Wait! Your limbs! They're fake!" Then returned to his voice "Brilliant deduction.." he gripped his coat and slowly takes it off, causing the girls to blush "Don't look away, you need to see what happens when you try to bring a human to life! When you cross into God's territory or whatever the hell it is! Is this what you want! Look!" He took his coat, making all the females blush
And impressing the returning host club...
Hey, back here you see... been a while since I visited the host club and they were still waiting. Ha ha.
I don't envision this to be yaoi, I... really have the desire to avoid it at all costs. So you seen... I don't read that many stories here... I am perfectly fine with those with homosexual interests and tendencies, (I, myself, am not.) So long as they seem natural... and don't have them making out or don't heavily describe very detailed homosexual... lemons, to say now. I am not fond of yaoi, but I am not going to hate on it for people who are
This chapter is really, really clustered... ugh, whatever. Read rate and review
Reviews:
RCRC36: Ah, thank you
Miss mystery: Read the paragraph up there. I'm not going to not say Edward could end up with any of the guy hosts, it's just not likely...
Yukinaru suzumi: Thanks, nice
