Lookie here! Another chapter! I wrote a flashback about Zander and Dani, I think it's super good. What do you think?
Just thought you should know: I don't own OHSHC, But i Do own the crossdressing Dani, the adorable Zander, and this fabulous plot!
"Dani! Dani! My tummy hurts!"
It was a regular Saturday. Mom went out to go grocery shopping at the market down the street and my dad was at work. It was slightly sprinkling outside our little house in Geneva, Switzerland. I was 10 years old at the time and I was in charge of watching
Alexander until my mom came home. I was rather young to be watching my younger sibling, but she was only gonna be gone for a couple of hours and I was very responsible. Or at least I thought. Alexander, or Zander as my family likes to call him, was 5 years old and just started kindergarten. He had darker blond hair and big brown eyes and the biggest brightest smile.
"I told you not to eat all that cake Zander! Now you've ruined your appetite!" I told him sternly.
"I'm so sorry Dani! But it looked so yummy I just really wanted some!" Zander said. He sat on the floor and started to cry.
"It's okay Zander! Don't be sad! How about you go take your nap early. When you wake up, you're tummy won't hurt anymore!" I told him, giving him a hug.
"Okay! Help me find Bun-Bun!"
He ran out of the kitchen towards the living room. I put the turkey sandwiches Mom made for us in a bag and put them in the fridge. It was obvious he wasn't going to eat them. Suddenly, he came rushing into the kitchen again.
"Dani! I can't find Bun-Bun!" Zander wailed. "Do you think he ran away? I don't want him to leave!"
"Zander calm down! Let's go look for your bunny, I know he's in the living room."
"Okay sissy..."
We searched the living room for about 10 minutes. No luck. Then, I happened to look behind the couch.
"Found him!" I said, giving the pink bunny with a pink,green, and blue checkered jumper back to it's owner.
"BUN BUN! YOU FOUND HIM!" Zander said excitedly, running to his stuffed animal companion. "Thank you so much sissy! Bad Bun-Bun! Don't ever do that again!" He said, giving him a big squeeze. I smiled. Why was my brother so cute?!
"How does your stomach feel?"
"Oh, It still doesn't feel good..."
"Well, when I'm sick Mommy gives me medicine. I'll find some for you too! Go lie down with Bun-Bun, okay?"
"Okay Dani!" Zander said. He zipped up the stairs.
I went to my mom's bathroom and opened up the cabinet over the sink.
"Now what does mommy usually give me? I think she give me this and this!"
I pulled out a bottle of white pills and some fizzy stuff you put in water. It tastes super yucky but it helps me when my belly hurts. I put two fizzy things in a glass of water and walked to Zander's room. He was sitting under his covers clutching his bunny, obviously uncomfortable.
"Here you go Zander. Drink it all down!" I said, giving him the pills and the cup of fizzy salty water. "Mommy gives me this and it makes me feel all better!"
He took a sip of the water then immediately spit it back in the cup.
"Zander, drink the water!"
"But it doesn't taste yummy Dani! I dot want to!"
"Zander..."
I gave him my signature look that said "You better do it or I'll tell Mom". He sulked a little bit, then plug his nose and drank the entire glass.
"Good job! That wasn't so bad! Now let me give you this medicine. I think 2 will be okay!" I gave him the pills and he swallowed them. "Good job buddy! Now go to bed Zander... you will feel better when you wake up!"
I tucked him in and gave him a kiss on the head. Before I could walk out of the door, he spoke up.
"Wait! I have a present for you!" he jumped out of bed and went to his school backpack. Out of it, he pulled out a string with some beads on it.
"I made you a bracelet in school! Do you like it? The art teacher helped me make it!" He wrapped the string around my right wrist and tied it in a knot.
It was a braided thick string, with blue beads and blue dolphins.
"Thank you so much Zander! I love it!" I said, giving him a hug.
"You're welcome big sissy! Promise to never take it off?"
"Never ever!"
"Pinky Promise?"
"Pinky Promise."
Back To Reality
"Umm... Dani-chan? Are you alright? Does your head still hurt?" the small boy asked.
I came to my senses to find the entire host club staring at me. The little boy was standing next to me, pulling on my jacket sleeve.
I jumped back in surprise. "Oh! S-S-Sorry. You just... looked r-r- real familiar.. t-thats all." I said in a shaky voice, putting on a forced smile.
Why the hell does he look like Zander?!
"That's okay Dani-Chan! Do you want to hold Usa-Chan? He makes me feel better!" he said happily, holding up a pink bunny.
Okay, now I'm seriously starting to freak out, this little kid is almost identical to my little brother! He even has a freakin stuffed bunny! What the actual hell!?
"No thank you! I don't wanna take your bunny away from you!" I said, slightly pushing his outstretched arms to the side.
"But Usa-Chan wants to say hello!" he said, his eyes getting wide.
No, I'm not making him cry. Making him cry is like making my little brother cry!
"Okay then! Let me say hi!" I gently took the bunny away from the kid and help it up. "Hello, Usa-Chan! Nice to meet you! My name is Dani!" I said, shaking it's paw and giving it a hug. I looked at the pink bunny.
He looks a lot like Bun Bun...
I stoked the stuffed rabbit while looking at him, thinking of Zander. The little boy gave me a very surprised look... did I do something wrong? I looked up at Kyoka, who smirked at me.
The little kid gave me a big smile. I gave him back his bunny and ruffled his hair.
"He's a very cute bunny!" I said to him.
"Usa-Chan likes you too, Dani-Chan! What are you doing in here, anyways?"
I opened my mouth to speak, when Kyoya stepped up,
"We were offering Daniel the role of a host, Hunny, but he turned it down and was about to leave when you came in."
Hunny's eyes got really big again. He turned towards me and said "But... but... why don't you wanna be a host? You would be really good! Please don't leave..."
My heart dropped.
Damn it... I can't say no to Hunny! He reminds me too much of my brother... I would never want to hurt Zander's feelings!
"Um.. Actually... I think I'm going to reconsider..."
"So you want to be a host? How Marvelous!" Tamaki spoke up, glitter appearing all around him.
I need to learn how he makes glitter appear too! That would make me look so fabulous!
"Yay! Dani-Chan is a new host! Isn't that exciting Takashi!" Hunny said, climbing on the tall guy's shoulders.
Takashi didn't reply... but I swear he looked up at me and gave me a slight smile. I'm pretty sure I completely melted on the inside.
"Why do you wanna be a host now? I thought you needed to 'get used to your schedule' or something.." The meaner twin said.
What did I do to this guy to make him be so hostile towards me!?
"Alright Daniel! Starting tomorrow, you will be part of the host club! Come by this same room right after school tomorrow!" Tamaki said, sitting him a chair, completely cutting off the mean twin. "But for today. You must stay and observe everyone hosting. Pay close attention to moi, Daniel. I will teach you everything you need to know!"
"Just call me Dani, please."
All of a sudden, I was being picked up and swung around again.
"DANI YOU ARE JUST SO CUTE! YOU ARE GOING TO BE A GREAT SON YOU'RE GONNA BE PERFECT FOR THE HOST CLUB..."
He continued spinning me and shouting nonsense. I just started laughing and let him do it. Finally he put me down and walked away towards Haruhi. I happened to glance over at Kaoru and Hikaru, who was standing with Kyoya. Kyoya looked up at me, smiled at me, and then looked back down to what he was doing. He is up to no good...
The twins look at me. I waved politely at them. They both waved back, one a little more enthusiastically than the other.
Okay seriously.. What the heck did I do! Can someone explain?
