DISLCAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB I ONLY OWN RIN AND HER FAMILY!
"I can't believe it…" Rin was completely and purely astonished. That little brat Shiro was drowning is customers. And he was a little brat he practically just told them he had a girlfriend and they are still fawning all over him! Even Mei! Her only customer…and last possibly.
"Well…" Kyouya came up behind Rin and casted a shadow over her "It seems that Shiro has more customers in one session than you have had since you've started." Rin almost felt like crying, this was just so damn frustrating, what was she doing wrong? And the fact that Kyouya had to throw some salt in the wound just made it worse. "If you keep this up you're going to have to find a different way to pay off your bill." Kyouya's glasses reflected light in a taunting manner "Unless somehow you miraculously get more customers by the end of the week I cant let you continue being a host."
"Ill figures something out…" Rin bit back through clenched teeth and snatched up her Brown leather backpack exiting the host club. "I always do…"
"What's wrong Sweet pea?" Santo asked with a mouthful of fish "You haven't touched your cod do you want me to cut the head off for you?" Santo looked at Rin's fish "the eyes are unappetizing…"
"Dad can I ask you a super weird question?" Rin suddenly asked grabbing her dad's knife and sawing off the fish's head. "How did you get girls to notice you?"
"Did?" Her dad stopped shoving fish in his mouth sounding a bit offended "Rin your dads still got his swag and he knows how to woo the ladies." His eyes suddenly went wide "Umm Rin if you're…trying to tell me something I just want you to know that I will love you no matter what." He stated sounding uncomfortable. Rin stabbed the Fishes head with her fork and stopped to look at her dad with furrowed brows. Santo suddenly had a sweat dripping down his forehead "it's natural for kids your age to feel…curious I mean I know I was there was this one time-"
"DAD NO!" Rin whined and pointed at him with the fishes head "That's not what I meant!" she set the fish head on his plate. "I…I need to know for a friend." Guitar
"Is this about the host club?" Santo asked
Rin suddenly when wide eyes "WHA-ACK!" Rin choked on her fish and her dad hit her on the back.
"ya' alright?" he asked.
"I never told you I was in the host club. How did you find out?!" Rin managed to choke out taking a drink of water.
"Your friend Kyouya called me."
"Kyouya called you?" Rin was completely shocked. It never ceases to amaze her how he gets his information let alone her dad's cell phone number.
"Yeah." He shrugged "he told me about your debt. I'm proud of you by the way." he pointed at her with his fork "working off your own debt by working hard and not asking Yone or Daichi for it."
"The monster in law?" Rin scoffed "I would sell my own kidney before I asked Yone…" She muttered
"Still you haven't let the fact that Iku is marrying someone rich change you, your still my little girl." He pinched her cheek
"Dad!" she whined and shooed his hand away but with a smile on her face. "So you're okay with me being in a host club? I'm basically flirting with girls the entire time pretending to be a boy…"
"Your not drinking, doing or selling drugs, stripping, standing on a corner, or getting pregnant… or doing anything illegal, honestly you could do a lot worse than a host club." Dad shrugged "So…you wanna know how to get a girl to notice you huh?"
"Yeah!" Rin exclaimed "I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I make sure my breath is minty fresh, I smell fonaminal, and I try my best to be flirty..." Rin sighed and leaned back in her chair "I'm a failure as a woman I cant even figure out how to woo my own gender…"
"Are you entertaining?" her dad asked.
"What?"
"Do you entertain the girls?" Santo folded his hands in his lap.
"One girl didn't know what dub step was so I brought in my CD player so she could listen to it…" Rin remembered how Mei had passed out.
"Clever but not quite flamboyant enough to get other girls attention." Dad explained. "What's something you could do?"
"What can I do? Read to them until they fall in love with me?" Rin asked "I love reading and writing but using fancy words is kinda Tamaki's thing and they would choose Tamaki over me he has the voice of a god!" Rin slammed her head on the table. "Maybe I could just serve tea and clean up…"
"No you won't" Her dad said in a stern voice "You're not a Half-asser." He stood up "wait here." He left the room for a moment leaving Rin puzzled. Then he came back with a book "You're a girl what do you like?"
She eyed the book in his hands "Books."
"No." he corrected and set the book right in front of her "Food."
"Food?" Rin picked up the book turning to the first page
"You're good at making little girly desserts and crap." Dad messed up her hair as she read the page.
"100 easy to make desserts…" Rin sighed and shut the book. "Dad this is a great idea but they already serve snacks at the host club."
"What kind of stuff?" Her dad sat don and shoved a considerably large piece of fish in his mouth.
Rin shrugged "Cupcakes, bon bons, scones, cookies…pretty much everything sweet…"
"What about macaroons? And do they have those special smore cupcakes you and Iku like to make." Her dad asked with a mouthful of fish.
"Macaroons?" Rin thought for a moment. "You know I don't I've seen people eat macaroons… and they only have chocolate strawberry and lime I think…" Rin looked at the book and turned to the glossary. "I can't make macaroons and cupcakes every time I go to the host club…"
"Just do it every once and awhile…like a special thing. The point is to make you known first."
"I guess that is true…" Rin smiled and stood up "Do you wanna help me?"
"You want me to help?" He asked with a mischievous smile "You'll have enough batter for about 1 cupcake if I help."
"I don't want you to help me make them I want you to go to the store and get me some ingredients and If you get them now ill let you have all the leftovers." Rin stood up still looking at the book. "What would you think about this?" she showed him a picture of a dessert "and some butter cream filling?"
Rin walked into the host club the next day with a tray in her shaking hands covered in tin foil. She was a bit nervous. She stayed up late last night making cupcakes and macaroons and it didn't help that her dad ate about 12 cupcakes worth of batter.
"Hey Rin." Haruhi approached her friend with a questioning tinge to her voice. "What do you have there?"
"Come here." Rin invited as she set down the tray on the coffee table. Removing the tin foil she revealed some pink macaroons and mini chocolate cupcakes with white frosting on top. Rin picked up one of the cupcakes and handed it to Haruhi. "Here try one."
Haruhi took a small bite of the cupcake and immediately went wide eyed. "Oh my god…"
"What what's wrong?" Rin immediately panicked. "Is it that bad? I thought I might have used too much coco powder…."
"No Rin these are delicious!" Haruhi took another bite of the cupcake. "What kind are they?"
"It's a double chocolate with marshmallow topping and crushed gram crackers for sprinkles." Rin smiled "And these are strawberry macaroons."
"What are you eating Haruhi?" a blonde girl approached the two.
"Rin made these cupcakes." Haruhi explained.
"I didn't know any of the hosts baked…" She said to herself "May I try one?"
"Of course." Rin picked up a cupcake. "Here." She grabbed her jaw gently much like Kaoru did the other day "open wide." He carefully fed her a small bite of the cupcake. "Do you like?"
"Y-Y-Y-YES!" she squealed more flattered by Rin's actions then the taste of the cupcake, which was very tasty.
"Can I have one to Rin?" one girl walked up shyly her eye contact with her shoes and her hands clasped behind her back. Rin walked right up to her with a cupcake in her hand.
"You don't have to be shy." Rin smiled and gave her a cupcake "And who would I be to refuse such a lovely girl a cupcake?"
Soon at least 7 girls surrounded Rin and her snacks munching and chatting away. Kyouya who had stood by unnoticed took notes as he watched the scene play out.
"Where did you learn to make these?" A girl asked while snacking on a macaroon.
"Yeah Rin not a lot of guys like to bake."
"Well it was something me and my sister always did together." Rin smiled "She worked in a bakery and she would teach me how so I could get a job there to when I was older." Rin smiled "I really liked baking with her… it helped us bond." Rin never did get to work in that bakery because they ended up moving to Japan before she was old enough to work there.
"Oh Rin that's so sweet!" One girl exclaimed.
"You seem really close to your sister!"
"I am…" Rin smiled "She's also the one who got me into reading and poetry."
"You read poetry?" one girl scooted up close so that their thighs were touching. "What kind of poetry do you like?"
"All kinds really." Rin pulled out a book from her bag "I could read you some if you like."
"I never heard you speak English Rin!" one girl sighed "You have such a lovely voice when you speak English…"
"Why thank you love." Rin smirked "I'm glad you like my English." She purred in English. Suddenly Kyouya clapped his hands and announced that the host club was closing for the day.
"May we see you again Rin?" One girl asked for her entire group of friends.
"Of course." She them flashed them a dazzling smile.
"Are you gonna make those cupcakes again?" another girl with hope in her eyes.
"And those macaroons to?"
"Yes I will…but I don't know when…" Rin mused "I usually just make them at random…"
"We'll have to come in a lot so we wont miss Rin's Snacks." A girl whispered to her friend as they left the host club leaving a beaming Rin behind.
"Well I guess you did figure something out." Kyouya quoted her as he came up to stand behind her "I have to say I didn't think you would."
"But I did and I made 5 appointments today and it is before the end of the week so…" Rin started "I can still be a host?"
"I did say that…" Kyouya pushed up his glasses "And I can only assume more girls will request you so yes you can continue hosting."
"Ri-Chan?" Honey sempai tugged on Rin's pant leg "Do you have any more of those cupcake you made?" he asked innocently.
"I knew you would want one…" she mused and pulled out a small pink cupcake box. "I saved one just for you In case I ran out."
"Thank you very much Ri-chan!" Honey took the box and practically glowed.
"When are you going to make more of these macaroons?" Kaoru asked with a macaroon in hand.
"Yeah these are really good." Hikaru added also with a macaroon in hand
"And more cupcakes?" Honey asked hopefully cake crumbs already smattered on his face. "I love your chocolate cupcakes! And this special frosting!"
"It's actually marshmallow topping." Rin smiled "Me and my sister call them smore' cakes"
"Will you make Smore' Cakes next time Rin? Please?!" Honey embraced her waist and looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
"I was actually going to make something new next time." Rin smiled and put honey down "Ill save you a cupcake every time I make them okay?"
"Okay!" Honey smiled. "Promise?"
"pinky promise." Rin smiled
