YES! I love my Sergant! Your welcome! And I haven't seen School Rumble yet...
Well, sorry this is late, I was gonna post this on saturday but my dad told me to go to bed and I was all "It's only ten o'clock Daddy!" And then he told me that we were leaving for my Gradma's at four in the morning and I decided sleep is beautiful.
~Enjoy!
Al woke up on Monday and gave a small sigh. He didn't want to go see the hosts. He had a meltdown yesterday! He really wanted to curl up in a small ball and grow mushrooms in the corner like Tamaki.
There was a light knock on the door then Haruhi called from the outside. "Al! We're going to be late! Hurry up!"
"Coming!" Al called back as he grabbed his keys and books off the counter and then headed out the door.
Haruhi was wearing the school uniform and a bright smile. Al smiled back and then shut the door.
"So, why do we have a meeting this early anyway?" Al asked as they headed for the school by foot.
"To discuss the theme of the day! We have a theme each day to keep it interesting for the guests." Haruhi explained.
"Oh. Hey, so can you tell me what I have to do? I've never been a host at all, actually, I've never you know... stuff..." Al said as he started blushing.
"Stuff?" Haruhi giggled. Al started to laugh at how stupid he sounded.
"You've never talked to a girl before?"
"Well, I have talked to Winry, but that was about mechanics and doctor stuff. I did talk to May Chang too! But, we ended up screaming scientific theories at each other... Then there was Riza, but she asked me about how Ed and I were doing on our... well it's not important." I said, covering for his almost slip.
"Okay, well I'm sure Sempi would just love to teach you to be a host!" Haruhi said as they approached the tall school.
They walked inside and went up to Music Room Three.
"AL-CHAN!" Honey ran up to Al and glomped him.
"H-honey!" Al greeted the upperclassmen.
"So, you ready to get fitted for your costume?" The twins asked, suddenly appearing on either side of Al.
"Um, I, Uh," He stammered as they dragged him to the changing room and then behind one of the curtains.
"Can you get out?" He asked quietly after they handed him his costume then sat down on the floor.
"Why?" They asked in unison.
"I- I can't change with people watching!"
"Why not?"
"GET OUT!" He said loudly. The twins stood then shrugged at each other before finally leaving.
Al sighed a sigh of relief and started to change into the costume.
~TIME SKIP!~
"Al! You almost done in there?" Tamaki called through the curtain. Al had been in the room for over twenty minutes and they had to discuss the whole day with him through the curtain!
"I'm done, but I'm not coming out!" Al responded stubbornly.
"Why not?" The hosts asked in unison.
"Well, I... I don't like this costume!"
"Why not? It's pretty! And I think it'll go great with you! It's from a mythical land that's based off Germany!" Tamaki tried to persuade the boy.
"Not coming out!"
"Please?"
"NO!"
"Oh for Pete's sake!" Haruhi gabbed the curtain and yanked it back, revealing a shocked Al in a blue military like uniform.
"You look amazing, Al!" She said, stunned by how good the shy boy looked in the military uniform.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!? WHAT IF HE HAD BEEN CHANGING!?" Tamaki bellowed as tears fell from his eyes comically.
"He said he was done changing." Haruhi responded.
Al sank to the floor and stared at the ground. He looked conflicted and scared.
"Al-chan? What's wrong?" Honey asked as he sank lower to the ground to see Al's face.
"N-nothing. I'll wear the costume. But, where did you find this?" He asked no one in particular.
"We found it in a book that our mom used to read to us!" The twins answered with a confused tone.
"I-I see. May I borrow the book some time?" Al asked the floor.
"Sure..." The twins answered with unsure voices.
~Time skipping because Kaito!~
Al walked down the hall with the twins and Haruhi as they headed for the host club. It was hard to get to the music room because girls of all kinds crowded the entrance as they waited for the hosts to get ready.
Al stuck close to Haruhi and Kaoru, he didn't want to get lost in this sea of girls.
"Oh my gosh! He is soooo cute! I wonder if he's the new host?"
"I wonder if he'll let me request him!"
"I wonder if he has a dog? Or a cat!"
"I wonder where he's from!"
"I heard he's from Germany! Or was it Austria? I forget." The girls started to whisper about Al, and that scared him. How many questions would he be forced to answer?
"Common!" Hikaru hissed from behind him and then gave Al a shove forward.
Once inside the host club they all went to the dressing rooms to change into their costumes.
Al stepped inside one room but hesitated getting dressed.
"Please don't be angry, Ed." He said to himself as he started to change into the costume.
"Al? Where's Al?" Tamaki's panicking voice came from the other side of the curtain.
"I'm in here! What's wrong?"
"Nothing! I just need to make sure you remember how to set the tea cup on the table!" Tamaki's voice was dead serious. Al sighed then left the changing room and headed over the the frantic blonde.
"Like this." Al said as he showed Tamaki how to set the cup down with an extended pinky as a 'cushion' to muffle the sound.
"Perfect! You, my friend are ready!" Tamaki held Al at arms length and beamed at him. Al returned it with an unsure, shy smile that made Tamaki smother him in a large hug.
"Not the time." Kyoya said as he walked passed to let the girls in.
"Right. Places everyone! Places!" Tamaki said seriously as they rushed over to the center of the room and stood in a line.
The door open and rose petals blew out into the school hallway and then girls rushed in and the hosts greeted them. "Welcome to the host club!" They all said in unison, Al however had never spoke in unison and just pretended by mouthing the words.
The girls all squealed when they heard it, girl will squeal for almost anything.
They all then found the host that they had requested and spread throughout the room. Two blondes and a redhead all walked up to Al and gave him bright smiles. Al returned it with a smile of his own and then lead the girls off to an unpopulated couch.
"So, I heard you're new here, is that true?" The redhead asked as they all sat down on the couch.
"Um, yeah, I'm pretty new. I'm sorry, I don't know any of your names!" He said sheepishly with a small blush that made the girls squeal.
"I'm Jenny!" The redhead said with a smile.
"My name's Reine! That's french for queen." The short haired blonde said with a large grin.
"Oh, that's pretty cool..."
"My name's Wiegenlied." The tall blonde said with a small smile.
"That's pretty, it means 'lullaby' in German, did you know that?" Al told the girl who gave a giggle when she heard.
"That's funny." The girls and Al all giggled.
"So, Alphonse, where're you from?" Jenny asked as she took a sip of her tea.
"I'm from Germany." Al answered politely.
"That makes since, you do have an accent!" Reine giggled.
"I do?" Al asked, blushing a deep shade of red.
"It's cute!" Reine reassured the boy with a giggle.
"So, Alphonse, do you like being in the host club?" Wiegenlied asked as she took a bite out of her cookie.
"It's always interesting, I'll give them that!" Al said with a shy smile.
"Alphonse, what made you want to join the hosts?" Reine asked as she shoved a cookie into her mouth.
"Um, I was asked to join the club multiple times and at first I thought this was a bad club to be in but then I saw how much the hosts care for every one of their guests and I thought that maybe I could give it a shot." Al told her.
"Hmm, you're different." she said quietly.
"Really? I've been told that once or twice before."
"By who?" Jenny butted in as she and Wiegenlied leaned closer at stared at him expectantly.
"Uh, by, uh... By this one person. No one special!" Al was blushing furiously.
"Ohhh! Al left a girl back in Germany that he doesn't want to tell us about!" Jenny squealed suddenly a group of girls crowded around Al to hear if he really did have a girlfriend before he came to Ouran.
"Um..." Al was getting scared, girls were scary! He tried to sink back into the couch but he couldn't, it was too solid!
"Okay, everyone! Club activities are over for the day! I can't believe how fast the time flies!" Tamaki called over all of the voices. The girls looked on him with sad eyes before leaving the room slowly.
Once they were all gone Tamaki rushed over to Al.
"Alphonse! Al! They're gone, you can open your eyes now." Tamaki spoke gently.
Al hadn't realised that his eyes had been shut. H opened them and stared up at the hosts "How do you find this 'fun'?"
