A/N: Alright! Sorry it took so long! I had trouble finding time to actually write! '^_^ DON'T HATE ME! So anyway, I was writing this and I had planned to make it longer, but I was like "NO!" So I have chapter four started! YAY!

Enjoy!

Al stared up at the large building. It was a pink castle, really? Who was in charge here?

Al walked up to the castle and passed many other students standing around the grounds before school.

The girls in the area started to giggle and whisper excitedly as he passed. Al didn't mind, he was used to people pointing and staring at him.

He walked to his class in a blur and sat in an empty desk, almost immediately he was bombarded with questions. People came closer to him and started to ask questions all at once. They formed a small circle around him and it kept getting smaller. He didn't like it. He started hyperventilating then just when he thought he was going to pass out someone saved him.

"Hey guys, leave him alone, he needs space." Al looked up to see a boy, - no wait is that a girl? - pushing his way through the crowd. Everyone listened to the girlish boy and backed away from Al.

"Hey, I'm Haruhi. What's your name?" The boy said with a smile as he held out his hand.

"..." Al just reached his hand up and shook it. He was still refusing to talk.

"Do you think-"

"He's shy?" Two boys with orange-brown hair spoke, finishing the others sentence.

~TIME SKIP!~

Al gathered up his things and he left school to go eat lunch and make his mission report. He held his lunch in one hand and a tan file folder in the other.
He couldn't find a single place that was quiet until he stumbled upon a door labeled 'Music Room 3'. It

must be abandoned... Al thought as he listened for music that didn't come.
He walked up to the door and grabbed the gold handle. He pulled the door open and was instantly assaulted with rose petals.

"Welcome to the Host Club!" Seven teenage boys said from inside the room. Al swatted at the rose petals that stuck to his face. He stared at the boys with confusion. What's a 'Host Club'?

Al was about to leave the room when a tall blonde with purple eyes came up to him and slung his arm casually around Al's shoulder. The boy then started to pull Al deeper into the room.

"So I see that another young man has come to show his true colors! Marvelous! So, what kind of boys are you into?" The blonde boy looked at Al with his bright purple eyes.

Al felt very uncomfortable standing next to this boy. He wiggled away from the taller boy and rushed to the door.

"Hey! That's the boy from earlier, right, Haruhi?" The two twins said in unison, pulling Al back to the center of the room.

Haruhi didn't hear, he was too busy arguing with the blonde that he wasn't gay.

"Well, Tamaki, judging by the lunch bag, I don't think he was looking for us." A black-haired boy stated as he pushed his glasses up then started to scribble something in his notebook.

The blonde, Tamaki, looked at the boy with big puppy-dog eyes and looked close to tears.

Al felt something tugging at his sleeve and looked down. A boy who looked like he was in first grade was staring up at him. "Hey, do you wanna have some cake with since it's lunch time?" He said with a hopeful tone. As much as Al wanted to have that cake, he couldn't. Shaking his head 'no' he headed for the door.

"Wait!" Al heaved a silent sigh as he turned around to see Tamaki pointing at him. Al raised an eyebrow as if to say "What do you want now?"

"You're good looking, how would you like to become a host!" The boy offered as if it was the greatest thing in the world.

"Sempai, that might not be a good idea, he doesn't talk much..." Haruhi said quietly from behind him.
"Well then, we'll have to fix that!" Tamaki responded as if he was accepting a challenge. "So, twins. Name." He ordered as he turned to the twins who saluted him.

"His name is Alphonse Elric, new transfer student from some place in Germany." They answered in unison.
How do they know that? Al wondered as he heard the information.

"So, maybe he doesn't know our language?" The small blonde wondered aloud.

"No, because then how could he have taken the entrance exam?" The bespectacled boy said as he continued to scribble in the notebook.

The hosts continued to argue about why he didn't speak much and Al took it as a sign to get the heck out of there. He blotted out of the room.

~Haruhi!~

Haruhi wasn't really paying attention. They were all coming up with the most unlikely reasons for Al not to speak.

Haruhi turned her head to study Al and noticed him slipping out the door. Maybe I should follow him? She wondered as she turned back to the discussion.

"Maybe he's an alien!" Tamaki shouted and Haruhi decided that she would follow Al.
She slipped out the door and started to wander the halls in search of Alphonse. She didn't have to look long because she found him sitting on the wall next to a window, eating his lunch and lost in thought.

"Al!" She said as she sat next to him. He jumped and made a move to leave when she grabbed his wrists and gave him a smile. "Don't worry, I'm not here for the Host Club."

Al nodded and continued to eat.

"So, can I guess why you don't talk much?" Al gave a nod. "Okay, well the teacher said that you might have some quirks because of some tragic thing that happened to your family... Did your dog die?" Al

hesitated then shook his head. Okay, so there was death... "Was it your mom?" Al tensed but shook his head nonetheless. "Okay, well I need a hint!" She said frustratedly.

"It was Ed. My brother."
