"Welcome to the Ouran Host Club."

Little did I know, that was the sentence that ended my newly free Highschool life, and started the repayment of the debt. Which began that very day. Now I was donning the periwinkle blue uniform, one that fit much better than the previous I'd gotten before school had started, and had to return. Showed off my figure nada. Course, not that I cared, didn't have a figure to show off. I trudged around the room slowly, grabbing plates and fixing dishes and newing the tea. Basic beginners errands. They didn't dare send me out to get anything though, they'd had a couple troubles with Haruhi with that before. Something about instant-coffee. It's not THAT bad.. Is it? I drank a lot of tea in my recent years, don't remember much about the taste of coffee. But it was manually grounded, not instant. Couldn't taste much different though.

I was merely distracting myself, trying to ignore the blonde and the rest of them. I've already come to know them all by name. The blonde moron was Tamaki-sempai, then of course the person who damned me, Kyoya Ootori, the shadow king. Huh, fitting. The one dressed as a Princess was Haruhi-chan, and I still felt bad of him in that outfit, and of course the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru. Then last two were Mori and Hunny sempai. Hunny was the small blonde, and Mori the tall silent guy, both third years amazingly. First day, and I had them all watching me carefully, especially Tamaki. I'd slap him with the silver tea tray if I dared, but I didn't. That wouldn't end well for me at all.

So yeah, even though I was technically a host, being brand new and all, I was the errand boy, or to them errand girl, for the day. In addition, the twins told me I needed a trait, like they had. The whole mischievous, cool, silent, or Lolita deal. Mine... Couldn't figure it out at all. Oops.

At the moment, I was cleaning plates away from Hunny-sempai's table, talking with him happily. He was just too adorable, and he liked sweets, like me. But unlike this kid, I could not, even in my wildest dreams, eat an entire cake in one sitting. My teeth were too sensitive and my stomach couldn't hold that much sugar neither. I took care of the plates, then returned, taking a seat with Hunny, and therefore Mori too. I asked for a piece of lime cake, and got practically half the cake instead. Shrugging it off, I picked up a fork and started to eat it, having careful conversations with the girls at Hunny's table.

I heard abrupt girly squeals and glanced over quickly, on the verge of panic, only tofind three girls swooning over how close Hikaru and Kaoru were to each other. I almost choked at how intimate their relationship seemed to be at this one moment. Only an inch or two and they'd be making out. My face went bright red when I pictured it. I quick shook it from my head, returning to a conversation with one of the girls. Must be their allure, it was working on every girl and myself.

"What do you do for fun Naoki?" One of the girls asked lightly, leaning forward, the others joining her in the leaning. Oh god they were getting closer, I may or may not have been panicking.

Hunny looked at me excitedly. "Yes, Nao-chan, tell us about yourself." He quiped. It seemed the whole room went silent when he said that. The pressure, damn this club.

I cleared my throat, milling in my thoughts, picking and choosing what I wanted to use to my advantage. Eventually, I just spilled it. "Well, Im new to Tokyo, very new. I moved here earlier during summr break, around the end of it. I live with my father, it's just us two. My mom left us when I was younger, Dad won't tell me why. I do all the chores and cooking myself. We have maids and such, but I don't enjoy them. They're simply friends of mine, and I wish to do the house chores because... Well because it bides me time. My father is the head of a horse racing company, even though we do more than just that in all. From racing to cross-country, dressage, and even jumping of all types. I do them all as well, and I have a horse for each. We're obviously pretty well to do." Thinking about other things, I grinned slightly. "Also, I'm a homosexual male." I added quickly in there. "I'm a jockey for my father, and also stable hand and exerciser of the horses. I'm most passionate about show jumping." He finished, smiling pleasantly, waiting nervously for the onslaught.

One.

Two.

Three.

The girls disrupted the nervous silence, swarming me. I jumped and laughed nervously. "Who in the Host Club do you have a crush on? Whats your favorite horse. Favorite horse-track?" The questions rolled in, and I answered them easily. "No one. I haven't had a crush for awhile now, and I don't plan on anymore. My favourite is my show jumping made, Neige. She's a dapple. Grey with white snow like dusting. And I don't really have a favourite track. I love them all." I answered every question that bounced off me, and by the time I had finished, it was time to end the club.

Waving as the last lady left, I slumped and walked away the second the doors were closed. Dropping onto a couch, my eyes slipped closed, simply enjoying the tested silence. Just as I got comfortable, the quiet was shattered with major stupidity.

"S-so.. Naoki-chan is actually Naoki-kun?" Tamaki asked, his purple eyes upset, and I smirked, looking at them all. All of them, minus Kyoya, looked like they were deer in the headlights.

"Yes. Stop letting looks fool you. Just cause I have feminine looks, doesnt make me a girl. Look at Haruhi for an opposite example." I had finally realized Haruhi was a girl, not a guy. Took me a bit, but I got it. I felt really really bad for that.

"And are you really gay?" The violet eyed male asked softly, and received a terse nod from me, as I relaxed on the couch.

"I'm first figured it out when I was in junior school. I liked all the boys much more than the girls. It wasn't a 'ohh girls have cooties' thing. It was simply they didn't attract me. I thought they were pretty and cute, and I wanted to be pretty and cute too, but I only wanted to date guys." Shrugging it off, I returned their stares.

"Alright, so the things we didn't know about Naoki-kun. One, he's a male. Two, he's gay, and Three, he rides horses." Kaoru ticked off the things on his fingers, draped over Hikaru's back. I'm starting to think that 'brotherly love act' wasn't simply an act. "You seem to be more down to earth with girls, and guys. You can be on both sides of the field and be perfectly fine that way, comfortable even. You're... The perfect best friend I guess." He murmured, thinking, the flashed a Cheshire grin.

"You're the best friend type then!" Tamaki said excitedly. "Or something like that." He laughed and waved a hand.

I almost glared at him as I got up. How dare they try to put me in some stereo type. "Im a people pleaser. Nothing more, and nothing less. I don't wish to have a type, I just want to be me. Now, seeing how my errands are done, finally, I'm leaving, I have a house to clean, food to cook, and horses to work." I snorted and started for the door, pissed with these guys already.

"Not quite, Naoki-kun." Kyoya replied from a table, looking up, a cool grin on his lips. "You will spend all week training. You will join one, or at times two, members at their homes. They'll teach you the basics of their type, and act, for two hours after club activities are done. No one objects, of course. Here is how it will go. Today, you train with me. Tomorrow is Tamaki, Wendsday is Haruhi, Thursday are Mori and Hunny-sempai's, and Friday will be Hikaru and Kaoru." He watched me calmly.

"B-but! I have chores and other training to do at home! I cant do this as well." I objected sharply, blinking. "Please Kyoya-sempai, my maids and servents arent used to having to do all the chores. We only have three maids and two servants. Even if I owe you, I have a schedule. You know, the things you live by." I mumbled darkly.

"Sorry, but it's just two spare hours. And only for a week. You will do it." Kyoya left no room for objection, his grin making me wanna slap, or punch, him. However, sadly, I had to go along as well with this stupid plan.
