Damn Rich Bastards

6. Vacation Time

"Quiet everyone! This Host Club meeting is now in session. We have a matter of utmost importance and urgency to discuss," announced Tamaki, standing tall and speaking loudly from the front of the room. The rest of the Host Club were gathered around him, seated on chairs and couches.

"Vacation destinations!" he exclaimed with a flourish. "Men. Haruhi. Where shall we go? We have a two week break coming up."

Immediately, chatter broke out from Honey, Hikaru and Kaoru, with Mori nodding along every now and then. Kyoya and Haruhi simply stared at the blonde Host Club King.

Is he for real? Has he forgotten that we have tests before the break to get through first?

A throat was cleared from next to her.

"Tamaki?" Haruhi turned to see Kyoya eyeing his best friend in exasperation. "Have you forgotten that we have tests before the break to get through first? Maybe we should talk about this afterwards."

That's what I thought!

"Nonsense, Kyoya! We need time to prepare, we have so much to do! Destination, accommodation, budget planning, activities organization-"

"But Tamaki-senpai," interrupted Haruhi. "Don't you get other people to do most of that? Really, all you guys would do is pick where we go."

Tamaki's shoulders instantly drooped. "Why must daughter be so mean to daddy?" His voice was a whiny mutter.

Kyoya cleared his throat again. "Tamaki, you were saying?" he asked dryly.

"Yes!" He thrust his fist into his palm and nodded. "Destinations. Ideas."

Haruhi settled back in her chair. Maybe they would go to the beach, or maybe even Karuizawa. A trip to Tokyo could be fun; she had been there on a middle school class trip and there were some things she wouldn't mind seeing again.

"The villa in Spain?" offered Kaoru.

What?

"We also have one along the French Riviera," added Hikaru.

"And my family owns a resort in Fiji," said Tamaki.

Seriously?

"I've got places in Vietnam and Thailand," chimed Honey. "What about you Takashi?"

"Ah, Nepal," answered the stoic senior.

"I'd offer the Ootori hotel suites in New York but my brothers will be using them at the same time," said Kyoya.

Why am I even surprised anymore?

Tamaki frowned. "All good choices. Hmm... Haruhi! You pick!"

The blonde boy turned to fix her with an overly enthusiastic smile. The rest of the Host Club were looking at her as well.

"Uh... how about somewhere in Japan?" Her cheeks began to feel warm and she shrugged self-consciously. "I don't have-"

"Of course! How could daddy forget. Poor Haruhi doesn't have money! Commoners can't afford such trips, but never fear. I will pay for everything that you nee-"

"Passport," said Haruhi through gritted teeth and an irritated glare. "I don't have a passport."

"That's easily obtained, Haruhi," said Kyoya from her right, a small smirk playing on his lips. "But money is still an issue, for a commoner in debt, right?"

Tamaki stood tall once more. "New topic, men! How to fund Haruhi's trip. Kyoya, you get the passport. Hikaru, Kaoru, new wardrobe. Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai, transport, while I cover anything else. And Haruhi, you just pick where we go!"

The others nodded and once more looked towards Haruhi.

Haruhi sunk in her chair with her face buried in her palms.

Damn rich bastards.
