Stupid sister. What did she know? Fumizuki Academy was NOT a dangerous school. Sure they battled for no reason on a daily basis, but no one got hurt. Just their avatars, which, when you really think about, only got their abilities from the grades the students made, which encouraged the students to do better academically in order to earn more power. You can't ever go wrong with bonus' for good things you're supposed to anyway, right? That made sense, well, enough sense. Yeah. She had sent him to Ouran Academy, a supposedly 'safe' private school for smart rich kids with nothing better to do but waste their time on school work and shopping. He didn't quite understand how she could afford to get him in here, with his grades, while he was still taking very, very, very, very, very, small portions of uncooked ramen for lunch. He knew this school was going to be hard, that was a cold hard fact even a baka like himself couldn't forget. Eh, oh well. At least he'd try…most of the time.
With a simple roll of the eyes, Akihisa grinned, striding into the school. It was big, and pink. Not bad for a rich kid school, but it'd be so much better if it had a large flat screen…just above the entrance. Yeah. That'd be cool. Ah, oh well, life can't always go his way, but everything would be so much fun if it had. Before he got very far, he ran into a couple of kids, stumbling backwards and onto his rear. Blushing heavily he fumbled to stand up, waving his hands around franticly with a nervous smile wiggling across his face, "I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to! Please, take my lunch..my bag…anything you want!" He giggled oddly and held out his belongings, his head shamefully facing towards the ground. How could he even look at them. These rich kids all had such nice uniforms, whereas Aki couldn't even afford a decent meal. Pathetic.
"What is he doing?"
"I don't know. Hey, kid.."
"Yes?"
"Not you. Him. Hey, you."
Aki lifted his head, the same odd smile plastered there, tight and awkward. They were. They were. Odd looking. What the hell? This kid had STRIPES on only HALF of his head, was that normal? And..the boy next to him. Well, he wasn't so weird. "Uhuh. Ehehe. I'm really sorry!"
"For what?" The odd one shoved his hands in his pockets, speaking with a cool voice.
"For running into you."
"You ran into us?"
…..
…..
…..
"NO! Hahah, no, haha. Uhum, no. I'm just kidding. You know us new kids, with all our jokes."
"You're new here?" The not so odd one cocked a brow, speaking in a formal manner that wasn't really expected.
"What is this..20 questions or something?"
"Well, welcome to Ouran, I'm K-"
"I am God."
"Really!" Aki's eyes lit up.
"Would you let me finish my sentence for once?"
His first new friends at a brand new school, how exciting. If he wasn't so hungry it'd probably be better, but hopefully lunch would come up soon. Man, was he starved. Kid and Naoi were really fun to be around! Naoi was so funny with all his God jokes, really, he just kept them coming. He was so funny Aki could barely even breath during the first class period. No really, Naoi knocked the breath out of him with a single blow to the stomach. Wow could that guy pack a punch or what? Haha. Second class, he was lucky to be with Kid. Kid didn't talk much, but he did stare. Second class wasn't exactly his favorite, he would of much preferred laid back, and humorous Naoi.
Finally, lunch time!
Aki walked down the halls with Kid, meeting up with Naoi and two other boys in the cafeteria. It smelt really good in here, and the decorations were even fancy! Aki's mouth began to drip with moisture as the fellow boys sat around him, their neatly packed boxes full of rice balls, fish, bread, all sorts of thing. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to pull out his ramen portion. They might laugh. But he was so hungry.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Kid spoke through a mouthful of rice, dodging Naoi's hand that was eagerly trying to wipe crumbs from his face. Naoi sure was helpful. If only Aki could have a friend like him at this school.
"Oh. Hehe. All I brought was this…" Aki reached into his bag, pulled out a rather large food box, removing the lid to reveal his perfectly cut piece of ramen.
"What…is that?" The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, who had joined them earlier, said in unison as they stared down into the box. Hikaru picked up the uncooked noodles and help it up to his eyes as if examining it, "Hey, Kaoru, I think I need a microscope. I can't seem to find Aki's lunch." The twins laughed.
Aki sunk down in his chair with a sheepish smile.
"Don't worry about them," Naoi took the cap from his head, whacking the both of them in the head. Kid nearly had a spazz attack once that hat was off of Naoi's head.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF ASSYMETRICAL GARBAGE, PUT THE HAT BACK ON, PUT THE HAT BACK ON. I HAVE TROUBLE LOOKING AT YOU AS IT IS. PUT THE HAT BACK ON."
Naoi didn't seem to mind it though. He simply slid the hat back on with ease and grinned over at Kid, who by the looks of it, was having a real heart attack. The Hitachiin boys began bickering amongst each other, trying to 'soothe' one another's head. This was all so odd. Aki had friends, close ones at that, back at his old academy, yet none of them were as close as these boys. It felt really nice to be hanging out, just a few awesomely awesome manly men at a lunch table.
"Anyways. Would you like some of my food, Akihisa?" Naoi offered up a slight smile.
"Really!"
"Sure. I probably won't eat most of it anyways." Naoi laughed lightly in amusement.
Aki eagerly held up his chop sticks to dig into the rice when Naoi's hand suddenly had grasp of his. Everyone at the table stopped and stared. Naoi shook his head, "Akihisa, you must try the bread first, the taste from that will help ease the plain flavor of the ric, considering I didn't bring any sauce. Here." Akihisa felt his face grow hot, Naoi placed a small piece from the roll against his lips with a determined face. Aki couldn't help but tremble when he took a bite. Having another man feed you was helpful and all but..everyone was staring. So much for manliness.
He offered up a weak smile, swallowing the bite and slouching in his seat, "Thanks."
Naoi smiled and turned his attention back to Kid, "Are you done over there?"
"No. I'm not done. Cakes are done. Pies are done. But people are finished or through. But, in my answer to your question, I am finished, if that is in fact what you're asking." Kid said with a smirk.
"Smart ass."
The day went by quickly after lunch. Akihisa was stuck in the next few classes with Kid. Neither of them were very happy about it, but Aki knew if he put effort into it that he could get along quite well with the boy; after all, he had to if he wanted to stick around Naoi and the Hitachiin boys.
"Akihisa."
"Yeah?" Aki lifted his head from the sleeping position he had on the desk. Only ten minutes 'till class was over and then he could go home. Why not just sleep for the rest of the class period? It wasn't like the teacher had anything important to say anyways. He'd rather talk to Kid than learn about tonight's homework.
Kid leaned back in his chair, holding out his cell phone across the aisle, "You gotta phone?"
Aki smiled, "Yeah." He grabbed the phone awkwardly, typing in his number before handing it back to Kid.
"Thanks."
The odd smile Kid gave him was cute. Maybe they really could be friends!
Ring.
Ring.
"So," Aki threw his bag over his shoulder, making sure to apply both straps on, for Kid's sake, "What do you guys do after school?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yeah."
"Well. According to 'daddy', we're all a homosexual supporting cast. But, to sum up our activities, I assume you could say we're a bunch of attractive teenage boys who use their charm to entertain sad and lonely naïve girls into thinking they actually stand a chance with, what really is in this modern day time, a fictional 'perfect' man."
Aki laughed, probably louder than he should, "You're really funny Kid!"
"What?"
"Like I'd actually believe you're homosexual!" Aki held onto his stomach, wiping a tear from his eye.
"IS THAT THE ONLY PART YOU GOT OUT OF THAT?"
"Was there something else important in there?"
"YOU-UGH-ARG! YOU IDIOT, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M EVEN SOCIALIZING WITH YOU!"
Aki's face flushed and he began flailing. He hated making people mad, more so, he was afraid of getting mad at people. They may hurt him. He couldn't hurt them. But they sure could hurt him; really bad. "Oh, Kid, I'm sooo sorry!," Aki grabbed onto the boys shoulders, shaking him, "I didn't mean to upset you! I'll never think you're homosexual again, I promise!"
"That wasn't my point." Facepalm.
Aki followed Kid hastily to said 'club' room. He quite liked following Kid around. It was like having your own little leader, but not technically listening to anything he said. Aki liked being a follower; it didn't take much work.
Kid opened the door, holding it for Aki to go in first.
It was so…girly in here. Not what he expected at all. Man, when Kid said entertaining girls..he really meant entertaining girls. This place was busy! So many people! "Oh, look, it's Hikaru and Kaoru!" Aki grinned and took off for them in a mad dash.
"Hey, wait!" Kid almost took off after him but was held up by someone pulling him into the back room.
Run. Run. Run. Run. "HEY, HIKARU, KAOR-" Aki's heart fell to his feet. He stopped in his tracks and nearly felt himself die right there. The scene before him, it wasn't what he expected. They were. They were. Embracing each other. Were people even supposed to have feelings for their family like that? Gross. But, Aki was going to be as optimistic as before if that really was the way they rolled; it really did seem to be a hit with the ladies. "Oh, heh, hey guys. What's going on?"
"Akihisa!" The boys beamed at once, acting completely different then before when he met them. They were…charming things now.
Rushes of swoons hit Aki's ear drums as the girls in that section began to crowd around the three boys, with little murmurs here and there, "He's soo cute!" "Aw, I wonder if they'll make him their pet!" "But what about Yuki?" "IS HE YUKI'S REPLACMENT!"
Aki had heard about this Yuki boy earlier. Apparently he was out sick for the week, otherwise Aki would have seen him at lunch today because they mixed up his schedule. Ah well, he must be the real deal around here. Along with his hot headed brother who only showed up when he did. More incest maybe? Who knows. Aki didn't even know the two and he already felt like he was closer to them than ever. Damn, gossip was all the rage amongst this rich kids, huh?
Kaoru pulled on Aki's hand, guiding him away from the table as Hikaru shouted, "Don't be long, I can't handle all these," Smirk, "pretty ladies."
Aki was lead to the back of the room. It was interesting to watch everything happen in the room, but he wondered if he should really be here, was what Kid said about their hobbies the truth? Homosexuality was seriously becoming a possibility.
"Sorry about that, Akihisa," Kaoru smiled sweetly. He was so different from his brother, it was hard to tell why they were twins besides their appearance.
"Oh, no, haha, it's fine!"
"If you say so. But, Naoi and Kid are in the back, I think they have something for you to change into."
"Thanks, Kaoru!"
Akihisa took one last glance as the other boy headed back to his brother. These people were so friendly and helpful! Aki grabbed onto the door Kaoru gestured him too, swinging it open with a grin on his face.
Light filtered out of the gap, sending small sparkles fluttering into his eyes. The room was bright for a moment, so Aki could hardly see anything, all he heard were the faint voices of Kid and Naoi…
"Hold still!"
"How can I hold still when you've got your feet up my ass!"
"There're on your back thank you, now hold still!"
By the time Aki could see, he had wished he hadn't saw anything at all. Kid was perfectly fashioned against Naoi's back, pulling at the strings of a delicate corset which neatly curved around Naoi's torso. Frilly short layers just barely met Naoi's knees, each over lapping the other with exotic colors. The top wasn't much different, except it wasn't on all the way due to Kid's struggling, the neck line was tugging at Naoi's upper chest allowing the fabric to just evenly reveal Naoi's perfectly carved collarbone and pale skin. Soft grunts came from the boy's lips as Kid tugged on the strings some more, causing the fabric to pinch the skin. Kid gave a heavy sigh, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his right sleeve.
Naoi flipped around to Kid, a disturbed, angry face grasping all of his features. Yet, he looked oddly…hot. Lipstick smoothed over his thin, feminine like lips, eye shadow just barely brushed over the very tips of his eyelids. He was…gorgeous. Aki felt the blood rising to his nose. He couldn't hold it much longer. Damn it. He was going to die in prison for all the wrong things that just went through his head, all the images of Naoi as a women, all the really hot and steamy things he could do with him all day long…OH GOD. The blood that had reserved itself in Aki's nostrils suddenly burst out and splattered the floor, giving off such a force that Aki's head went flying back to hit the ground.
A loud shriek came from Naoi as he hid behind Kid who was sternly glaring at Aki from where he stood, with his hands in his pockets. "And what exactly, do you think you're doing?"
With just enough strength to lift up a finger, Aki pulled his head up weakly to look up at Kid innocently. He tried to laugh. But he couldn't. Kid was giving him a look like he'd get stabbed if he even took one breath. Why would Kid care? Well then again, it was kind of awkward to react the..way he did. Man, he made some great friends, and he had already screwed them over. Perhaps he should've told them what kind of guy he was, who his best friend used to be and what kind of people he hanged around. Perverts.
"What's all that noise in here!" A tall blonde charged into the room, nearly stepping on Aki's head. "Uh-ugh, who is THIS?" The boy looked down at him with curious, yet worried eyes. Aki liked him. Not like that. This boy looked…friendly enough. Actually, he looked really friendly. If only Aki could give him a smile.
"It seems our judgment on the new boy was mislead. Not only is he asymmetrically hideous, but he's also a homosexual pervert."
"That's not true!"
"Huh?" Everyone's attention snapped towards Naoi who had jumped out from behind Kid. He was covering his chest with crossed arms, as if he had breasts, and had his knees awkwardly tilted into each other. Heh. He looked like he had to pee.
"It's not true! Akihisa didn't know! I bet he didn't even recognize me in this get up!"
"You're…defending him?" Kid cocked a brow.
"I'm defending him as much as any of us would defend each other."
"That's not very much, then." Kid crossed his arms, taking a leaping step over Aki's body, pushing Tamaki out of the way and charged out of the room. Aki stared up at the ceiling, pulling himself off the floor and took off in an immediate mad dash for Kid. "KID! KID! KID!"
Whoops.
Aki slipped, grabbing on to things near him. On the way down, he ripped off a table cloth, tore the edge of a girls dress, and broke several china glasses. Finally, he toppled over on top of Kid, his original target. The blood from his nose had already dried into two small little stains that lead down to his upper lips and the awkward smile he offered Kid was kind of sloppy.
He watched in satisfaction as Kid forced a smile, "Baka."
Tamaki was furious. So furious he had to send the ladies away that day. Akihisa had made an entire mess of the Host Club and he wasn't even there for less than an hour. Some first day. Of course everyone in the club forgave him, except Kyouya. He was charging Aki with more money than Aki could even count on his fingers and toes for all the damage he had done to their property. They suggested working with the Club, but Aki had to turn them down, he was here strictly for school, and knowing him, if he got involved any deeper then he'd probably only end up increasing his debt rather than reducing it. Instead, he got himself a job as a pool boy (waiter, basically) at the Hitachiin home. Like they really needed him, the first day he was there, he had to sit through an hours worth of introduction to all the other staff. There were the cooks, the gardeners, the nurses, the waiters, the pool boys, the janitors, the managers, the designers, the workers, and a few other things he forgot. Their weren't that many on each team, but hell, there were a lot of teams!
Hikaru and Kaoru had their own division, though. Most of the workers belonged to their parents..well, their mom's company. Aki was well..their only waiter in the division. They had two of everything else but a waiter. He barely knew these boys and now he'd have to work for them. Geesh. It was already the weekend and Aki was prepared to get his job finished for the day so that he could get home and do his homework. Or read some of his special magazines. Whichever suited the moment more.
"Good afternoon, help!" The two boys slid up against each other, greeting him in unison.
"Haha! Good afternoon, you guys!"
"Hm, so formal in an offsetting environment? That's new." Hikaru contemplated the idea while Kaoru leaned against him with little interest.
"So, uh, I have a lot of homework to do.."
"You're already asking for time off?" Hikaru cocked a brow.
"The boss won't be too happy to hear this." Kaoru did the same.
The two began speaking in unison, their hands locking devilishly as their face darkened and directed themselves toward Aki, "I wonder what Kyouya would say."
"Oh, heh, I didn't mean it like that! I just wanted to know how much I had to do?"
"Not much," Koru smiled, "Just a little list we made."
Just a little list? What kind of..:
Wash clothes
Wash dog
Clean pool
Do homework
Clean room
Go grocery shopping
Bleach the toothbrushes
Polish and wax the floor
Make sure assorted combs are in the right place
Make beds
Pack lunches for the rest of the week, labeling each.
Clean the bathroom
Go pick up cat from groomer
Call private teacher, cancel meeting
Pick up mom's pain killers from doctor
Iron the clothes
Set out outfits for school on Monday
Call chauffeur and schedule dinner arrangements with the parents at finest restaurant
And, make sure to have fun!"
Aw man. This was going to take forever. Oh well. Might as well get started now.
Ding. Ding. Buzz. Buzz.
Aki's phone went off, he flipped the device open to reveal a new message symbol. He didn't have time for texting right now! Ugh, oh well, just one glance..then he'd start!
"Sunday; 2:25pm new message from Kid!
Wanna meet up at the park later? We're all having a big cook out. We could sit together…if you want. Xoxo"
Aki shut the device with a small, delighted smile and let out an almost swooning like sigh. Kid liked him. Kid really liked him.
