"We contacted Honey-senpai as soon as you called us."
"We think this is necessary for you to get over this fear."
"It's not a fear..." Kyoya tried his hardest to shake off the twins accusations. He didn't want to seem weak but he knew deep down that he really was scared of the obvious.
"This will help for sure."
"Leave it to us." Kyoya had heard these same words from the twins over and over and he still couldn't get himself to believe them fully. But as Honey skipped into the room, clutching a toy of some sort, he realized they weren't joking.
"Kyoya!" He plopped happily on the couch across from Kyoya and started picking through the assortment of desserts on display. "Yummy!"
The twins smirked happily in the corner, proud of this ultimate decision. They decided this couldn't backfire no matter what. Honey was the perfect balance between innocence and intimidation for Kyoya. He wouldn't be able to stop himself.
"Hikaru and Kaoru said you wanted me to talk! I don't know why but-" He shoved a thick piece of strawberry cake into his mouth, "I'm happy to do it. This is really good!"
He smiled like a child and hugged his animal closer, rocking happily back and forth with his legs crossed. Kyoya's stomach turned; he didn't know what to expect from Honey. This outcome could literally be anything. And as he patted the spot beside him, urging Mori to sit down, Kyoya thought he saw a thought flicker past the lolita's face. A thought that would normally never register in the boys mind, or so he thought.
"So Honey, are you going to tell us now?" Kaoru spoke softly, not wanting to ruin the moment with too much speaking. Honey nodded melodramatically, widening his already big eyes.
"Well! It happened a couple years ago..."
"Hello Honey-senpai! Happy Valentines Day!" A group of girls were bunched by the water fountain, waiting for the perfect moment to catch Honey on his way from class. One brunette was particularly brave in addressing him before her friends could.
"Hello girls! Don't you love Valentines Day! Especially the candy." They squealed loudly at his greeting. "Would any of you mind opening this package for me?"
He was holding a small baggie of cinnamon hearts in both hands, trying desperately to rip it open to reach the snacks. The plastic was twisted and mangled from his previous attempts but he continued to try. Before the girls had the chance to do anything, Mori was behind him, taking the struggle into his own hands. The bag opened in the first try, gliding simply at Mori's strength.
"There you are Mitsukuni." The girls trembled at the deep tremor of Mori's voice and when Honey placed a single heart into Mori's open mouth, they almost fainted at once.
"Honey and Mori-senpai are so cute!"
"I wish they would act that way with me!"
"Shh Megumi! They're going to hear you!" The two girls bickered back and forth but kept their eyes on the two boys the entire time.
"Excuse me!" Honey looked up at the brunette with a sparkle in his eye. "Do you want to share!?"
She could hardly stop herself from whimpering. He was addressing her. Honey, the adorable pink-cheeked host who could hardly be found without some sort of sweet, was asking her to share with him.
"Y-yes! Thank you." She bowed slightly even though it felt ridiculous.
"You're Mao right?" She inhaled quickly, he knew her name?! Before she had the chance to answer, he plopped a small spicy heart into her mouth. "They taste so good!"
Mao's friends squeaked with jealously. Nothing like this had happened to them before outside of the host club. In fact, nothing like this had ever happened to them in the host club!
"Do you want to come and play with us?" He beamed at her and filled her palm with more hearts. She thought about keeping them for a minute instead of eating them, but with everyone watching she knew she couldn't get away with it. Words escaped her and she nodded, dazed. She pinched the soft skin from inside of her wrist to make sure she was really awake.
"Yay!" Honey jumped up and down, cheering. Mao left her friends with gaping mouths at the fountain to accompany Honey and Mori to wherever they were headed now. She had never been to this part of the school and her stomach inched its way into her throat at every corner.
They reached a small door decorated with child-like drawings. They were all made out of crayons or paint and had Honey's signature along the bottom corner. This must be a room specifically for him. She didn't know they could do that even with their power.
"This is my play room! Sometimes I come here for breaks but usually I have my snacks between classes." Honey ran around, touching little things here and there. The room was piled with books, stuffed animals and even a good-sized couch. It screamed Honey in every way and Mao smiled to herself at this fact.
She sat on the couch, watching Mori play silently with Honey. They really were cute together in every way. It was too bad they were cousins, they could have a good industry like the twins. Mao knew she would, was, falling for it herself. Mori was the silent, gentle side of Honey's wild being. They suited each other perfectly.
"So Mao, do you like to play?" She was confused at first, she didn't really 'play' anymore but when it came to Honey it was cute.
"What do you mean?"
Before she knew what was happening, Honey closed the space between the two of them. He looked up at her from behind his blonde bangs and smiled without showing any teeth. When he began speaking, his voice was slightly deeper, the kid in him suddenly gone. "Would you like to play with me?"
He set his hand on her knee and let it wander farther up, not minding her skirt at all. She was too stunned to stop him and deep down something begged her to let it happen. Mao didn't know when this would ever come around to her again anyway.
"You're really pretty," He was still speaking lower, roughing up his voice just enough to up the sex appeal in the room. He closed his eyes slowly and opened them again to stare into her eyes. For once she saw him as a teenager instead of a little boy. Hell, at this point, he was closer to a man. "Mao."
He whispered the name into her ear, letting the chill take over her senses. Who was this boy? Mao hardly noticed Mori standing in the corner, perfectly motionless. He was almost like a statue and for the moment, it seemed completely normal to her.
Honey climbed on top of her, pushing her arms to her sides. He hardly weighed a thing but his skin was warm and it filtered into Mao. "I've never done this before, besides Mori. But that doesn't count! Have you?"
She shook her head violently. She had in fact never done this with another living soul. Until this moment, she had never been approached by a boy of any kind. And when Honey's soft lips touched hers, she marked off the 'first kiss' stage in her mind. Was she really going to lay here like a dead body until it passed?
"Valentines Day is so much fun isn't it?" He kissed her again and again, all over. Honey was like a wild animal stalking its prey. He had no boundaries and before she knew it, her dress was piled on the floor, collecting dirt that she couldn't seem to care about.
Mori disappeared from the corner, but Mao's vision was hazy from pleasure. She finally knew in this moment how eighteen Honey really was.
"...It wasn't much though. We ate cake after! And made a blanket fort! Oh and we-" Honey was lost in the small details that Kyoya wasn't in the mood to know. He hadn't even thought of the 'after' part yet and it worried him to dive in any deeper.
The twins snuck behind him and both set a hand on his shoulders. They set the list on his lap and pointed to a girl on the list. "So, what do you think of her?"
"Good enough."
