Haruhi and her Mother put Honey up in a hotel for the following week as he (unlike the others) he had nowhere to stay for that time. They originally were going to take him to Misuzu-san's Inn since they trusted her. But Honey began crying when they got near it, and Haruhi knew why. The place was rumored to be haunted before Misuzu-san had purchased it, and their wasn't a single resident of Karuizawa who hadn't heard rumors of spooky ghosts and creatures roaming about at night. She didn't know why people were still scared of that place especially since Misuzu had completely redesigned the decor and color scheme to have an almost Eastery feel. But they did not have the time or energy to convince him it was no longer a scary place.
"Wha!" Honey exclaimed when they showed him the hotel he would be staying in. It wasn't overly fancy, in fact Haruhi found more than one or two things to complain about in the hotel room they walked into it. However Honey thought the place was amazing. He ran over to the window and looked down. They were on a really high floor so all the people below looked tiny. Then he ran over jumping onto the bed.
"I haven't slept in one of these in a long time!" Honey said grabbing the pillow he pulled it close to him.
"Bun Bun!" he said taking his stuffed animal he put it on the fresh white pillow, which immediately looked smudged and dirty.
"Alright, first off, you need a shower, and we'll have to cut your hair."
"Wha!?" Honey exclaimed grabbing the blond strands of his head frowning. "I don't want my hair cut!"
"C'mon, it's no big deal haven't you ever had a haircut before?"
"Not since I was really little…" Honey pointed out.
"Well, then," Haruhi smiled. "How about you take a shower, and tomorrow we'll have someone come cut your hair."
She reached out grabbing part of the strands in her hand, "I think this might be long enough to donate…"
"Donate? Hair?" Honey raised an eyebrow at that idea. "That's stupid. Who would buy hair?"
Haruhi laugh a little at that, "Lots of people buy hair silly. Some people lose their hair due to heredity or illness. So people buy hair so that they can wear it and not feel self-conscious."
Honey frowned looking down at the strands in his hand.
"Alright, we'll wait a week then until we cut your hair," she said smiling. "Sound good?"
Honey was still frowning when Haruhi suddenly smiled spinning around, "Well then go ahead and just have fun here, your meals will be free too so eat whatever you want downstairs. We'll send someone to come get you in one week for the show."
She smiled at him, "Until then enjoy yourself Honey!"
"It's Mitsukuni," Honey said only she had already hurried out.
Just before the week was up Haruhi went out to check the progress on the old building that was being repaired. Last time she had seen it was when she had picked it out, and it had been a dump! This time however, it looked gorgeous; they even had some of the fountains in the field working. She was taken on a tour of the renovations.
"It's perfect!" Haruhi was telling her father when a voice to her right called her attention.
"Oh Haruhi!"
She turned to find Hitachiin-san standing there smiling brightly. She was wearing a rather elaborate dress with fur cuffs.
"Oh, hi," Haruhi said. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I AM in the fashion business so I thought I might make the clothes for this project of yours…" she explained.
"Well, actually I had already anticipated that you might do the clothes, but I was looking for a good time to ask—"
"Well I already had some outfits in mind," she said happily and spinning around she snapped her fingers. No less than forty models came in from out of nowhere. Boys and girl standing next to each other wearing matching uniforms, but each pair was different in design and color. "I designed all these!"
"I see…" Haruhi said nervously looking up at her father who shrugged. Why had she made so many designs rather than just asking Haruhi the kind of outfits she wanted on her show?
"Please pick the uniform design you like," she said smiling. "There are twenty different boy and girl designs. So think it through."
"Uh… okay," Haruhi said walking down the line looking at the different uniforms. "This dress is cute…"
She stopped in front of a yellow one, "But can we make the skirts longer. This is a school for rich kids I don't think they would have skirts this short…"
"Oh I suppose so," Hitachiin-san said frowning. She clearly liked short skirts as hers was quite short.
"Hhmm…" Haruhi kept walking. "This one for the guys is nice looking…"
"Uh, that's a part of a different set…" Hitachiin pointed out.
"And?"
"Well, I made the uniforms in pairs," she explained walking over to the blue male uniforms she had picked out. She put a hand on the shoulder of the female model next to him who was wearing a short dress of the same color blue. "See, blue with blue. Yellow with yellow. Etc."
"… Well," Haruhi said nervously. "I like the yellow dress there, and the male version of the yellow uniform is just awful…"
Hitachiin's eyebrow twitched. She was clearly insulted. "Look the colors need to match for a school uniform. It doesn't make sense if they don't—"
Ranka who was behind Haruhi's back was frantically waving for Hitachiin to come over. "Ugh, one moment, you keep looking…"
She went over to Ranka, "Ugh, what do you want?"
"Let her pic whichever uniforms she wants," Ranka said.
"They're supposed to match, it doesn't make sense if they don't match!" she snapped once again.
"Look," Ranka said taking off her sun glasses so she could stare intently at the fashionista. "This is Haruhi's first project. Good or bad I want the choices to be hers, understand?"
"But—" she stammered.
"Good or bad, if this project is a failure or a great success it will be because Haruhi made it so. It's difficult to grow as an artist if your choices are all made for you. She needs to figure out what works or doesn't work for herself, and I'll not have you destroying whatever image she has in her mind…" Ranka explained.
Hitachiin-san turned back to Haruhi who had walked down the whole line. "I like these two," she explained sticking with her original choices of the yellow dress and the blue male uniform.
Her frown was until then unmovable, but it suddenly softened. "Alright," she said. "The light blue male uniform with the pastel yellow female uniform, and we'll get that skirt lengthened as well…"
Haruhi smiled, it was all coming together.
Finally it was time to bring all the boys to the set, and she couldn't be happier. She had finished the script of the first episode the previous night and she was very tired, not to mention nervous. She hoped they would like it.
Tamaki and Kaoru arrived first walking in they were in awe at the large room they had entered. It was filled with a number of sofas and chairs.
"Hello," Haruhi said smiling at them. Today she was wearing a pink sun dress with a matching hat (that was currently hanging off the back of the couch). She had a fancy pair of white gloves on with an embroidered flower on it, but she took that off putting it in her matching clutch when they came in. She held out her now gloveless hand shaking both Tamaki and Kaoru's hands in a very businesslike manner.
Tamaki shook it nervously, he was wearing a sweater about four sizes too big for him, and pants that were clearly only staying up with the use of a belt. Kaoru appeared to be wearing an outfit he had worn maybe a hundred times before. His T-shirt had once had some logo on it, but it appeared to have been worn off. There were a number of holes in it as well. And on of the sneakers on Kaoru's shoe had the sole falling off it and appeared to have been duct taped to stay on.
She shook his hand enthusiastically too. "Please, both of you sit down. We'll start once everyone has arrived…"
Tamaki took a seat where she indicated and picked up the script that was in front of his spot. It even had his name on it.
He opened it and skimmed through the pages.
"So how have you two been?" Haruhi asked taking a seat opposite them.
"Good," Kaoru said smiling. "The kids at our orphanage are really excited to see this show."
"I'm glad, maybe someday we could invite them to the set to see the filming," she suggested.
"Kirimi would like that," Tamaki pointed out to Kaoru who nodded.
"So, um…" Haruhi felt very awkward trying to make small talk. "So… are you guys excited to be on TV?"
"Sure," Tamaki said smiling. "I was talking about it with Kaoru last night, if this show gets really popular we could visit children in hospitals as our characters to make them happy."
Haruhi blinked, "What about having a place to live?"
She thought for sure that would be the first thing these boys would want to get after being in orphanages all their lives.
"Well, sure… that'll be nice too," Kaoru pointed out.
Suddenly the door opened and a tall dark haired guy walked in wearing a sleeveless T and a pair of ratty old jeans with sandals. "Ah Takashi!" Haruhi said jumping to her feet she hurried over to him. "Alright! Sit over here with us, just look for your name."
"Guys, this is Takashi! He don't talk much so… Yes or no questions would probably be best with this guy," she explained as he sat down in the appropriate spot.
"Wow, you're really tall," Kaoru said looking at him.
"But aren't you Japanese?" Tamaki asked. "I thought all Japanese people were short…"
"Just stop talking," Kaoru said putting a hand on Tamaki's shoulder.
"Well, my Dad was short," Tamaki pointed out.
"Oh good! The food's here!" Haruhi said as a woman from a side door wheeled in a tray of snacks and set them out the coffee table before them. "Thank you."
The woman set out the snacks which consisted of Cakes and cookies and sweet buns before she bowed and left room.
"So, it's nice to meet you Takashi," Tamaki said smiling he held out his hand, which Takashi shook but he didn't reply.
"So if you can't talk how are you gonna be in a show?" Koaru asked.
"I'm sort of gearing him to be a strong silent character. He never speaks but he's always there…" Haruhi pointed out.
"So, um… Haruhi-san," Tamaki said turning back to her. "You come from the Fujioka family, but I'm afraid I don't fully understand what your family does…"
"Oh!" she said. "Well, we're an entertainment family. Over the years we've been a part of numerous TV shows and plays. Not to mention a few Broadway musicals. My Mother is a professional dancer, my Father is a model, my sister Renge is writer and painter as well as a professional mangaka. She been in numerous plays as well. My other sister Kanako has written numerous plays and is a rather talented gymnast. Basically we just entertain. My sisters and I starte in a movie when we were younger called "The Trio in Tokyo," maybe you've seen it."
"The Trio in Tokyo," Kaoru said. "I think I have seen that…"
"You have?" Tamaki asked turning to him.
"Yeah, before I came to your Orphanage, one of the Foster Mother's I was placed with would play that movie to keep the kids quiet while she went and drank in the next room. C'mon I'm sure you've seen it. It was about three little girls who got lost in a big city and all this silly stuff happened to them… and in the end their parents found them…"
"I don't remember that…" Tamaki said sounding a bit upset about it.
"Well, I can get you a copy if you want to see it," Haruhi said, and Tamaki's expression lit up.
"Haruhi! Here he is!" called a voice from behind her. Haruhi turned to see her sister Renge rushing in draggin' by the arm a black haired boy with glasses. He had on a pair of faded black jeans and a button down white type. He did not look happy.
"Here he is! This is Kyoya!" Renge said happily. "Look how cute he is! Turns out he's a REAL glasses character. I found out he needs them, so I got a prescription filled for him! Doesn't he look handsome?"
Haruhi got up and walked over to him. "Hello Kyoya," she said smiling. "I'm glad you came, please sit over there with everyone else, your name is on your script…"
"Okay," he said dully sounding very uninterested he took a seat with the others. He hadn't had a new pair of glasses in some time, and he was very grateful that Renge had bought him a pair. Everything looked so clear and precise. He hadn't seen this well in years. Which was great, because reading when everything looked fuzzy was very difficult.
"Now, Renge what are you doing here? I thought you had a chapter update due by the end of the week," Haruhi said raising an eyebrow.
"Oh I do," she answered. "I just wanted to make sure Kyoya got here okay."
"Well he's here, and he's okay, so if you want to get back to—" she began. Only Renge suddenly interrupted.
"Actually I thought I'd stay here and listen. I'm an expert story teller after all, so you might need my help!" she explained with a smile and she ran over sitting on the arm of the chair Kyoya was in forcing him to lean to the other side in an annoyed manner.
She was just about to continue and try to get her sister to leave when the door opened and a dark haired teen came in. He had on multiple layers of shirts and button downs. His Jeans were overly baggy making him look like a bit of a punk, and Renge suddenly gasped cheerfully. She rushed the door grabbing his arm and practically dragged him over to the sofa seat where Tamaki and Kaoru were sitting.
"Get up! Get up! Get up!" Haruhi said excitedly practically throwing Tamaki out of the seat she sat the new kid right beside Kaoru and then turned to her sister.
"See, didn't I tell you," Haruhi said. "They look exactly alike! Kaoru, this is Hikaru. For the show, I'm planning to advertise you guys as twins."
"Twins?" they said together suddenly looking at each other.
"We'll have to dye one of their heads though…" Renge said suddenly running her hands through Hikaru's hair. "It's nice and soft, so it should dye nicely."
Haruhi lifted Kaoru's chin, "They have different eyes though, so one of them will need contacts…"
"We'll have to keep Kaoru's hair, because it most matches Hitachiin-san's hair…" Renge pointed out. "You are pairing them with Hitachiin-san yes?"
"That's what I planned, but she didn't really agree to adopt two, so I'll have to ask her…" Haruhi pointed out.
Tamaki who pulled himself off the ground looking up over the arm of the chair frowning.
"I'm not changing my hair," Hikaru pointed out and glancing at Kaoru he added. "We don't even look anything alike…"
"If there is anyone here who can't see a resemblance between these two, please raise your hand," Renge said smiling, and only Hikaru and Kaoru did. "That settles it, you guys can't see it because you're you. But we can see it and that's what's important."
"Anyway, we're just waiting on Honey now…" Haruhi said checking her watch. "Where is he? He should have been the first one here, he's closest…"
Frowning Haruhi took out her cell phone dialing the number of their house servant who had been instructed to pick up Honey.
"Hello," answered an exasperated voice on the other end.
"Where is Honey?" she asked immediately without so much as a greeting.
"Fujioka-san… it's… He won't wake up… We've tried everything and the person who came the closest got a lamp thrown at their head, and that was me!"
"He threw a lamp at you," Haruhi said in surprise. "Well… just wake him up!"
"I'm dabbing blood from my forehead right now Fujioka-san, no one wants to go near that kid… can't we just wait until he wakes up on his own?"
"Ugh…" Haruhi sighed. "Fine… fine… just bring him here the moment he gets up!"
She closed her phone and turned back to the group. "Um… we're going to start without Honey…"
"Who is Honey?"
"He's this cute little kid I found on the street," Haruhi explained. "He will be the last member of the Host Club."
"Host Club?" Hikaru said raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah, I still got to explain the plot to you. Well… basically you are all going to be students at a rich school and you're also going to be a part of a club at the school called the Ouran Host Club."
"Host Club, like those bars I've seen popping up around Japan lately?" Hikaru asked frowning.
"Uh, yeah kind of. Your job as members of the host club will be to entertain other rich students. Now, I will be the newest member of the Host Club but you will mistake me for a boy…"
"Huh? You're doing cross-dressing?" Renge said. "Like Dad? That's actually a good plot; did Dad give you that idea?"
"Uh, no. I got the idea from Honey. See, he has long hair and I mistook him for a girl when we first met," Haruhi explained.
"Oh…"
"Tsk, so what we're just gonna flirt with a bunch of girls on camera…" Hikaru said frowning.
"Well, yes… but there is a lot more to it than that…"
"It sounds stupid," Hikaru explained with an exasperated sigh.
"Uh, well a lot more is going on than just that…" Haruhi said looking slightly hurt.
Tamaki seeing this suddenly spoke up, "I think it's a great idea. Really good, and there is room for lots of comedy in a plot like this…"
Haruhi's expression perked up slightly.
"Okay, well, I thought we would go through some lines to see how our characters mesh together. This is called a script reading and we usually do this before filming so everyone knows what they're supposed to say… Go ahead and pick up your scripts and we'll start reading…"
The boys awkwardly shuffled through the papers turning to the point they were supposed to, and slowly they began going through the script.
It didn't take too long before Tamaki started to get really into his lines even doing elaborate motions that weren't necessarily called for in a script reading. However, he seemed to be the only one having fun with it.
"NO!" Shouted Renge suddenly hitting Hikaru and Kaoru in the head with a rolled up script. "Didn't you read below the lines Haruhi wrote… You said the lines together, you're supposed to be in sync! Now try it again!"
"Renge could you not hit my cast!" Haruhi snapped. "We really don't need your help, they were doing just fine..."
"They weren't in sync!" Renge pointed out in a matter of fact tone.
"It's a script reading, its practice. They don't need to be in sync right now!" Haruhi snapped back. The two were nearly nose to nose in with their arguing, and Tamaki started laughing at that. Haruhi and Renge turned to him frowning.
"I can really tell you two are siblings."
They glared back at one another about to continue their little argument when the door opened the next second and a blond boy entered looking rather bubbly and smiling.
"Oh Honey finally," Haruhi said dropping her argument she walked over to him.
"Good morning!" he said cheerfully.
"Honey, did you throw a lamp at my servant?"
"Huh? No…"
"Honey," Haruhi said more sternly.
"I didn't!" Honey answered. "Why would I throw…"
He paused like he was suddenly thinking. "You know there was a broken lamp on the floor of the hotel room you rented me… It wasn't there yesterday…"
Sighing, Haruhi put a hand on his shoulder. "Never mind then, everyone this Honey."
They all turned, surprised by the small boy that was presented to them.
"Wait..." Kaoru said looking at him.
"I thought we were supposed to be a high school host club, why is a little kid here?" Hikaru asked.
"Well, my plan is to actually make him a senior!" Haruhi pointed out.
"Uh, this kid isn't gonna pass for a seventeen year old," Hikaru pointed out, he was beginning to feel this whole thing was getting stupider by the minute.
"I know that," Haruhi sighed. "But that's part of the reason why it's funny."
"If you have to explain why something is funny, then it's not funny," Hikaru pointed out, and once again Haruhi looked upset by his words. Tamaki rushed over throwing an arm around his shoulder.
"Hikaru! Quit upsetting Haruhi!" he snapped.
"Seventeen?" Honey said questioning it, a small frown on his face. "But I'm sixteen…"
"Sure you are sweetie," Haruhi said smiling ruffling his hair, and she noticed he had the rest of the strands clipped up in the back.
"Hhmm…" she said looking at his hair. "Renge call our family hairstylist, I think these boys need makeovers…"
"Oh this will be awesome!" Renge said taking out her phone. Her eyes had lit up upon Haruhi's words. "This will be so great!"
With the script reading forgotten Haruhi had her family's personal hairstylist team on the scene within ten minutes and enough salon chairs were set up for all of them.
Each of them sat down and had their hair combed and styled according to Haruhi's vision. Most of them didn't need any drastic changes. Hikaru however was one of those that did… Reluctantly he ended up agreeing to have his hair dyed and the room began smelling of the chemicals from it. While they waited for that to set in Haruhi was desperately trying to convince Honey to let the stylist cut his hair.
"NO!" Honey whined.
"Honey please, you're a boy you have to have your hair short."
"NO I DON'T WANNA!"
"Honey be reasonable… boys just don't wear their hair this long," Haruhi said frowning.
From the corner of her eye she saw Takashi's figure pass her and he walked over kneeling before Honey he took his hand and patted his head. Honey blinked at him wondering what he was doing when suddenly he heard the sheering sound of scissors cutting through hair, and suddenly his head felt lighter. He gasped reaching back. The pony tail that the stylists had put his hair in was now gone and he spun around to find the hair stylist holding his hair in her hand.
His eyes suddenly filled with tears and he started to wail. Mori kept patting his head until the wails trailed out into sniffles.
"See," Haruhi said trying to cheer him up. "You're fine. Your hair is cut, and it wasn't the end of the world…"
"…" Honey sniffled as the lady started to tidy up the rest of his hair and even out the strands and his bangs. After a moment Honey glanced at the guy still holding his hand.
"What's your name?" he asked happily, but Takashi (as expected) didn't answer.
"That's Takashi," Kaoru said as he walked by. His hairstyling was already done. "He doesn't talk."
"Oh? Why?"
"We don't know why, he just doesn't talk…" Hikaru answered from the chair where he was currently letting the hair dye set.
"Huh… Maybe he lost it," Honey suggested smiling brightly. "I'll help you find it."
Mori smiled patting his head once more before he went over to the sofa and sat down alone. Honey looked back at the stylist. "Are you done destroying my hair yet?"
Looking thoroughly offended the girl turned his head back to stare forward, "No."
"Speaking of which," Hikaru said glancing up at Haruhi. "Didn't you say you were going to cross-dress for this show?"
"Yeah," Haruhi answered.
"Then, shouldn't you cut your hair too?"
Haruhi blinked reaching up grabbing a handful of the long strands of brown, "Yeah… I guess I'll have to… cut mine too."
Tamaki who was still having his hair fawned over by his stylist glanced up at her. That was such a shame… her hair was so pretty… "Can't you just wear a short wig?" Tamaki suggested.
"That'll be a hassle to deal with, I'll just cut it…"
"Don't do that!" Tamaki said jumping up almost making the stylist cut a part of his hair he wasn't supposed to cut.
"Please sit still!" The stylist snapped pushing him back into his seat.
"But Haruhi… your hair is so pretty…"
"It's just hair," Haru said sitting in what had been Takashi's spot. She let the stylist put her hair in a ponytail, and then chop it off. Her ponytail joined Honey's in a bag to be donated. Then the stylist began to even out her strands and Tamaki looked like he was going to cry.
"And you should be done now," said one of the stylists to Hikaru, she removed the cap from his head rinsed out the dye. Everyone watched as she began to blow-dry his hair. And slowly but surely, it began to match Kaoru's exactly.
"Wow, you really do look alike!" they said staring. Hikaru was handed a mirror. Sure enough his hair looked like Kaoru's now, and though he didn't want to admit it. They really did look like they could be twins...
They spent the rest of the day in discussion and practice about the show, and when night came Haruhi told them that they were going to stay at her manor. So they all piled into the Haruhi's limo which turned out to be quite an ordeal. As the boys quickly got rowdy and Honey tried to climb out the sunroof twice because he said he wanted to go road surfing. Takashi kept him in his seat after the second twins had busted into the mini fridge (which in any other limo would have been filled with alcohol, but this one was filled with soft drinks and chocolate milk containers). When Tamaki found the button that revealed their driver he poked his head through and began carrying on a rather loud conversation about what it was like to be a limo driver. The only two of the boys who were being the least bit quiet were Takashi and Kyoya. Though, Renge kept trying to engage Kyoya in conversation, to which he was giving one worded answers.
"Here we are," Haruhi said climbing out first.
Hikaru let out a low whistle. "Man, how many rooms are in this place?"
"Um..." Haruhi frowned. "I don't know, I never counted."
"About forty," Renge inputted as they went inside.
The boys were standing in awe at the entrance and grand staircase to break the silence Renge rushed over grabbing Kyoya's arm. "C'mon Kyoya, you can sleep in my room!"
"Or," said a kind voice from atop the stairs. "The boys can sleep in the room we designated for them..."
They looked up to see Haruhi's Mother standing at the top of the stairs.
"Our maid will show you to your room. At the moment, we've put up beds in our Library while we prepare the guest rooms for you all," she explained.
An old woman emerged from around the corner at the top of the stairs.
"Good evening young Masters, I am Shima Maezono. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask. For now, please follow me to your temporary rooms..."
"She called us young Masters," Honey said smiling.
"I've got some things to discuss with my Mother," Haruhi said. "You guys have a good night."
With that Haruhi started to follow Kotoko to the other room.
"I'll tuck you in Kyoya," Renge suddenly exclaimed and Haruhi turned right around grabbing her arm and pulling her after their Mother as well.
"Well, come along young Masters," Shima headed down the upstairs hallway and the boys followed her.
"Aren't we supposed to stay with these families who are supposedly adopting us?" Hikaru asked frowning.
"Well, see... they wanna see how the show goes first. Should the show be a success, then they will have you move in with them." Shima explained.
"And if it's not?" Hikaru asked frowning.
"I suppose that bridge will be crossed when you get to it..." Shima pointed out. "Well, here you are."
She opened the door to a large library. Beds had been pushed up against the bookshelves and whatever furniture had been there previously were missing.
"This is the best place I've ever stayed. Look at this bed!" Tamaki exclaimed rushing over he jumped onto one of them.
"I will come awaken you early, so please don't talk too much," Shima explained. "If you need anything in the night their is a call button by each of your beds. Feel free to use it as you please."
"Like for what?" Honey asked staring up at her.
She glanced down at him, a slight look of disgust crossed her face when she saw his filthy bunny. Taking a deep breath she answered him, "You may use it for anything. If you are ill and need medical attention. If you are thirsty and need something to drink. If you are hungry, etc."
"If we're hungry?"
"Yes."
"Tsk," Hikaru sighed falling back on his bed. "I can't believe I agreed to do this..."
"Are you kidding?" Tamaki said happily. "Who wouldn't agree to this?! This will be just like Annie!"
"What?" Kyoya asked taking a seat on his the bed he choose.
"Annie, the movie about the adorable orphan girl who gets adopted by a rich guy. We'll do this show and then we'll all be adopted into rich families and be like Annie as well!"
"I don't think that has anything to do with this situation..." Kaoru said frowning...
"C'mon, be positive!" Tamaki said cheerfully.
*beep*
Shima glanced over to Honey who had hit his call button and then spoke into it as though he thought it was a speaker. "I want cake," he said cheerily.
"I am right here," Shima explained. "You don't need to hit your call button if a servant is already here..."
"Oh..." he frowned. "I want cake!"
"It is late at night, cake will keep you up."
"But, you said we could hit it if we were hungry..."
"Yes, but you must request a sensible late night snack, and no. Cake is not a sensible late night snack," she explained as he opened his mouth. "I will bring you some warm milk and small cinnamon roll if you're craving something sweet."
"Yea! Thank you Shima," he said suddenly hugging her. She blinked a bit taken aback.
She cleared her throat when he pulled away and then said she would be right back. Honey headed over to his bed happily. The boys started looking around the room, and Kyoya began looking through the books.
"Hhmm Hhmmmm Hhm Hhmm," Honey hummed as he pulled back his covers placing his dirty stuffed bunny under the blankets and covering it up to it's chin. When he realized everyone was staring at him he looked at them... "What? Isn't it bedtime?"
"Yeah, I guess it is," Kaoru said grinning. He took off his shirt intending to put it in a drawer at the dresser on the side of his bed and to his surprised when he opened it he found it full of clothes. "Hey, look I got clothes!"
Upon hearing that they all checked their dressers and noticed there were clothes for all of them and in their appropriate sizes. Honey seemed the most happy when he found them and he proceeded to put on every pair of socks he found in the drawer until it looked like he was wearing very fluffy white boots.
"Honey what are you doing?" Kaoru asked.
"Wearing my new socks," Honey said happily.
"Yeah, but... all of them?"
Honey smiled at them tapping his toes together, "Sure, I bet my toes will be really warm tonight!"
"I'm sure your toes will be plenty warm enough with just one pair..." Hikaru pointed out as he pulled on a night shirt.
Honey opened another drawer finding the shirts and he proceeded to put on shirt after shirt. "Uh, Honey, maybe you shouldn't wear all your clothes to bed..."
"It's okay," Honey said. "I'll be really warm this way."
"Yeah, but..."
Takashi walked over to him and proceeded to take off his excess clothing despite Honey's complaining that he wanted to continue wearing it. When he finally got off all but the final pair of his socks he pulled back the covers placed Honey in the bed and pulled the sheets up around him. Honey blinked looking rather confused as to why Takashi was tucking him in. But a moment later the tall teen patted his head before climbing into the bed next to him and covering himself up.
Honey laid there blinking, and then his expression suddenly broke into a smile. "Goodnight Takashi," Honey said pulling his bunny close he snuggled under the covers and closed his eyes.
"Well that was weird..." Hikaru said and Kaoru pushed a pillow into his face. "Why is that tall guy acting like his parent?"
