Hey decided to post another chapter. In this chapter you see another side of Harou. So read and enjoy!
The motto of the Ouran host club is…
Be strong, distinguished, and elegant
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I said setting down a glass with a loud thump.
"No! Wrong!" Tamaki shouted, hitting me upside the head with a large paper fan.
"Hey!" I shouted angrily, clutching my throbbing head, "You don't have to keep hitting me! Besides I don't want to do this anyway…" I glared at the blonde in front of me.
"Well Harou, if you want your debt to get dropped quicker you have to become a host. So when you put down your glass, cushion it with your pinky. You eliminate the harsh sound and show more grace." Tamaki said putting down a glass just as he said.
"You also waste energy trying to be so polite and graceful." I muttered bitterly as I stared blankly at Tamaki's face. My thick black glasses slid down the bridge of my nose, showing off my reddish brown eyes.
"Harou, look on the bright side!" Tamaki smiled pushing up my glasses before I could have had the chance, "When doing this you look classy and reserved."
A light blush appeared on my face as my eyes widened at Tamaki's sudden actions. I grabbed the temple (Side) of my glasses, "I still don't see why you do that…" I said my voice sounding kinda raspy.
Tamaki pouted lightly at my confusion but brushed it off and said, "Well at least when things get difficult, gazing up from below can be an effective defuser. Not to stimulating for you, I hope?" Tamaki said demonstrating his technic once again smiling. Tamaki continued to hold that position as I stared blankly at him.
"nope." I said boredly, tired of Tamaki's stupid 'training'
Of course because of my careless use of words Tamaki Teleported over to his corner a feel of depression surrounding him,
"Wait, Tamaki." I said grabbing my chest, and looking down, "I actually think I felt my heart skip a beat or two." I looked down at the floor innocently trying to get Tamaki out of his corner of woe. But before I could do anything else I was tackled in the side by a small figure.
"Harou!" Mitsukuni, the small ball of joy shouted hugging my waist, "Wanna share some cake with me?!"
My eyes widened and a blush came to my face. Not because of Mitsukuni but because of the thought of me eating tons of cake. "I really can have some cake?" I asked Mitsukuni quietly the blush still on my face.
He stared at me strangely for a moment before smiling, "Yeah! You can have as much cake as you want!"
My blush grew and I bit my lip, looking down at the floor fully embarrassed, "I'd like some cake…" I said looking at Mitsukuni through my thick glasses.
"Alright!" he shouted happily pulling me over to his table where Takashi and their customers sat talking to one another. "What cake would you like Harou?" Mitsukuni asked listing off the various cakes they had.
I awkwardly played with my hand, "The chocolate cake with the strawberries please…" I said pointing towards the cake that had three layers of chocolate cake and moose fillings then rich dark chocolate icing covering the top with small strawberry pieces bordering the edge of the slice and chocolate shavings sat neatly beside the strawberries.
"You like chocolate Harou-kun?" one of Mitsukuni's customers asked staring at the large slice of cake I asked for.
"Yes," I smiled awkwardly at the girl, "Chocolate's my favorite, though I do enjoy white cake with chocolate icing."
"Aww that's so cute!" the same girl said clasping her dainty hands together. The girl had curly brown hair that was pulled back neatly by a large white ribbon. Her eyes were quiet wide, similar to Haruhi's and mine, but her eyes were a nice shade of jade green compared to my own dead brown eyes.
"Cute?" both Mitsukuni and I asked tilting our heads to the side.
"Of course!" the brunette smiled, "I think it's adorable how you like sweets Harou! The only other boy I know who loves sweets as much as you is Hunny. So I just consider it nice that another man enjoys cakes and other various sweets."
"Yeah…" I said looking down at the small fork that came with my cake and scooped off a piece of my chocolate paradise. Just from taking a small bite of the cake, my mouth was filled with a rich bittersweet taste that set my face a fire.
"Are you okay Harou?!" Mitsukuni asked concerned because of my bright red face. "Is something wrong? Did you not like the cake?" he asked grabbing one of my hands.
"No no!" I shouted, my face still cherry red, "I just never had a cake that was this good before and it shocked me. That's all I promise, I'm sorry for worrying you Mitsukuni."
"Really? That's it?" Mitsukuni asked with wide eyes. I nodded my head mentally cursing my face for always getting really red when I think about chocolates and sweets.
"Wait…" another one of Hunny's customers said, "You called Hunny Mitsukuni. How come?" she asked
I shrugged my shoulders, as my face starting to cool down, "I don't know I just am not a huge fan of using nicknames unless the person tells me to do so. I just feel weird not calling them by their real name."
"Oh…" everyone said not really understanding my reasoning.
"Hey! Harou!" an idiotic blonde called out, "I have something for you to do!"
"Coming Tamaki!" I shouted getting out of my seat, I turned towards Mitsukuni and his guests, "Sorry I could stay and talk more but you know, job of an errand boy. By the way Mitsukuni, you can finish off my cake!" I give the said boy a closed eye smile, "I really enjoyed it. So just eat the rest for me, I won't get around to doing so. Alright?"
"Okay!" Hunny smiled picking up the chocolate cake and stared eating the rest of it.
I smiled at the young looking teen and walked over to Tamaki who was sitting with a group of his customers. "What'cha need Tamaki?" I asked putting my hands behind my head, lacing my fingers together.
"Well the club was running out of some supplies, so can you go out and get some more?" Tamaki asked handing me a slip of paper, "Here's a list of all the stuff we need."
"Okay," I sighed sadly as I stared at the stupid list. I was taken away from delicious cake to go shopping… that's just great. I turned to walk out the door, but I was stopped short when someone grabbed my wrist and spun me around roughly. "Ahh!" I squeaked collapsing into the chest of someone.
"Careful there." That someone cooed pulling me back and wiped the corner of my mouth. A furious blush appeared on my face as I looked up and saw Tamaki smiling down at me a smudge of dark chocolate on his thumb. "Harou you had some chocolate on the corner of your mouth! You won't become host club material if you eat so sloppily!" He scolded with a joking tone in his voice/
I frowned at Tamaki, "You know I could have wiped my mouth myself right?" I crossed my arms and quickly walked out of the Host club with the list clenched in my hot fists, as my long bangs covered part of my burning face.
And what I didn't know was that when I left the music room, I also had left a red faced Tamaki, and a girl who glared daggers of ice.
*Third P.O.V*
"Tamaki, are you okay?" one of his customers asked the frozen blonde. He didn't respond, just stood there with a bright red face.
"Tamaki?" Kyoya asked as he walked over to his best friend, "What's wrong?"
Tamaki quickly snaps out of his daze and waves his hands widely back and forth, "It's nothing Kyoya! Nothing at all."
"You sure?" Kyoya asked not believing Tamaki's answer.
"Yeah," Tamaki smiled towards his friend, "I just didn't have control over my body for a moment."
Kyoya raised his eyebrow but said nothing about it and walked back to the customers he had.
"Sorry about that." Tamaki gave his current guests a kind smile, "so do any of you princess's want more tea?"
"Yes please!" the girls beamed
*Harou's P.O.V.*
I sighed as I finally got the groceries that Tamaki had asked for. When I left the store I had everything I had bought in a large paper bag. Surprisingly enough the bag wasn't all that heavy even with all of the stuff I had bought.
'Tamaki and the others better be happy with this stuff because I'm not going back out to re-buy all this stuff for more fancy high priced stuff.'
I walked back to Ouran and up to the third music room where the host club was. Although I did have some trouble getting the large doors open I managed and I snuck in. I was able to set the food down without breaking anything.
"Hey, the kitten's back from shopping!" Tamaki smiled as he looked back at me and reached into the paper bag and pulled out the instant coffee I had bought. "Eh? What's this?" he asked staring at the coffee container.
"Coffee." I said bluntly, "You said you wanted some, I mean it was on your list."
"But… ground coffee?" Tamaki asked pointing to the container in confusion.
"Not ground… Instant" I corrected the blonde
"Instant…" Tamaki muttered, and suddenly the other hosts where surrounding Tamaki and staring at the Coffee in amazement. "The one you just pour hot water in? How Proletarian!" Tamaki shouted looking over the case.
"I've heard of it, but never seen it…" Kyoya said staring intently at the box; his had resting on his chin as he observed the plastic container.
"So it's true! Poor people have no time to grind their bean!" Kaoru shouted in astonishment.
"I've always wanted to try it! Let's brew some up! Common folk coffee!" Hunny shouted happily, his tiny pink flowers floating around him.
I glared daggers at the Hosts not moving from my spot, "I get your fascinated, but so you know I'm not buying anymore coffee so you'll have to cope with that." I muttered even though I figured the host's couldn't hear me over their oversized egos.
"They're just messing around, you know." A snakelike voice said coolly, "that stuff won't suit their taste at all."
"Huh?" I asked sending a dead look towards the venomous female before saying, " I truthfully wouldn't expect it too."
"Oh, sorry… I was talking to myself." She smiled with fake kindness but her face showed she was shocked by my words.
"Ha, ha." I say with no amusement in my voice. I looked over the girl and saw she had silky dark red hair and sterling silver eyes that showed immense hatred.
The girl and I were split apart when Tamaki called out, "Harou! Make us some of this commoner's coffee! Everyone's keen to try it." Flowers surrounded the hosts and many of their guests.
"Master Tamaki…?" the girl asked, most likely questioning the boy's sanity as an aristocratic figure.
I sweat dropped, pouring some hot water and some instant coffee into a cup and handed one to every person who wanted to try it. "You know Tamaki; I won't be responsible if they don't like it."
"If they don't like it?" Tamaki asked smiling towards me. Many of his guests were unsure if they should drink the coffee, talking about how their father would flip or something like that. Of course Tamaki being Tamaki had to go and do something that would make me look down on him even more than I already do. He went up to one of the girls who were just looking down at the cups and grabbed her chin then asked, "Would you rather drink it from my mouth…?"
The girl was very embarrassed and managed to stutter, "No! A c-cup's fine!"
I was about to walk away but Tamaki grabbed my arm once again and pulled me over to everyone who had a cup of instant coffee and shouted, "And now a toast with instant coffee!" almost everyone cheered with Tamaki and took a sip of the hot beverage.
*Third P.O.V.*
Behind Harou and Tamaki two girls sat on one of the expensive couches that sat in the host club. They were some of the only people without cups in their hands.
"Doesn't it seem wrong for master Tamaki to drink such swill?" a girl with short brown hair asked her red haired friend, "Doesn't it, miss Ayanokoji?"
The red head chuckled and said, "Well… it's all part of a new project of his. Though he may be overdoing it a bit."
Over with the others Tamaki stood happily in front of Harou with a gigantic smile on his face, "Harou! Another cup!" he shouted holding his cup up.
"Did you like it?" Harou asked with little to no emotion yet sounded quite curious.
"Quite!" Tamaki laughed, "Lacks taste, but leaves an amazing after burn!"
"Great…" Harou growled snatching Tamaki's cup and filled it with more coffee, "Here" He said holding out the cup to Tamaki.
"Thanks!" Tamaki shouted drinking his new cup of coffee.
Harou sighed and walked off, leaving Tamaki alone to drink his coffee.
"Harou?" Tamaki asked watching the boy walk off towards the door, "Where are you going?"
"Bathroom." Was all the small boy said as he closed the door. Leaving Tamaki staring at the door with great confusion.
Hey finished the chapter. Hope people enjoyed it, and sorry if it was kinda weird or anything like that. I wrote this at like 11 o clock at night. But I love Harou around sweets he shows lot's more of his emotions and becomes really flustered!
