Chapter 5: The Hideyoshi Sleepover!

The weekend, the two days of the week where there was no school. It was great, no Host Club, no pretending to be a girl, just relaxing and enjoying some needed alone time. That's what Daniel wanted but nope, that wasn't going to happen this weekend.

At the moment though, the male was in his room, laying in his bed, wearing an onesie. Daniel planned on staying in his room all day and just enjoy the comfort of his bed while surrounded by his stuffed animals and watch videos on his laptop. Of course, leaving to go to the bathroom and get something to eat but that was what he wanted his day looked like for him today.

Until he heard his mom call him downstairs. Daniel let out a whine as he got out of his bed and put on some slippers as he headed downstairs to see what his mom wanted. What he saw made him want to die.

"Daniel! There you are, your friends from school are here for a sleepover! Isn't that great!" His mother told him with a smile as Daniel had a blank expression on his face as he saw the Host Club members, minus Haruhi, in his house.

He felt his soul leave his body when the situation dawned on him; he would have to deal with the Host Club for a whole night but the worst part was them seeing him in his pajamas.

"You're so cute, you little fuzzball!" Tamaki exclaimed hugging him, Daniel blushing in embarrassment as he snapped out of it from his mom giggling at them.

"L-Let go of me! Why are you guys here? I didn't hear anything about having a sleepover, especially in my house!" Daniel exclaimed once he broke free.

"You said we could the other day though." The twins replied earning a confused look on his face.

"What do you mean?" Daniel asked.

"It was during a club meeting, we asked you if we can come over for a sleepover!" Honey said happily.

"Your exact words were, 'Yeah, sure, whatever.'" Kyoya told him, reminding Daniel of the last club meeting. He was tuning things out while doodling and he was asked something and he just agreed.

"I did... Didn't I." Daniel muttered to himself.

"Now that's over, show us around your place! We want to see what you have here." The twins said, the others nodding in agreement.

Daniel glanced over at his mother who seemed to find this amusing with her big smile on her face.

"While you boys do that, I'll cook up some food for you all!" His mother told them before happily heading to the kitchen.

The long-haired teen could already tell him if his mother knew how to cook so he immediately told them off. "Don't worry, only I can't cook in my family. My mom can cook." He told them, seeing them relax a bit from the reassurance.

"Let me change out of my pajama's and then I can show you around," Daniel grumbled as he headed upstairs.

"Ooh, can we see your room?" The twins asked.

"No way." Daniel's immediate answer was as he hurried upstairs. This was not what Daniel had in mind for how he spent the weekend. Why are his parents even allowing them to stay over unexpected!? It was probably because they were kind-hearted people but still.

Once he got to the safety of his room he changed into some casual clothing; A red and white striped t-shirt with some blue sweatpants and a pair of grey socks. It was better than being in a fluffy onesie for the time they're here that's for sure.

When he headed back down the stairs he found that the Hosts exploring the living room. "Who's this, Daniel?" Tamaki asked picking up a picture showing a short, plump woman with black hair and pink highlights tied up into a ponytail. Her outfit was a pair of overalls while holding a tray full of cookies with a big grin on her face.

"That's my Aunt, Yua. She's the one who owns the pastry shop I mentioned during club hours." Daniel said walking over next to the taller blonde to look at the photo.

"Can she make cakes?" Honey asked jumping up onto Daniel's shoulders causing the teen to stumble a bit, surprised about the sudden weight he had to carry.

"Wha- Yeah, she makes the best cakes from what I've had before. She can make anything she tastes really." Daniel smiled looking at the photo.

"Your aunt must be very talented," Kyoya noted.

"Too bad those genes didn't get to you." The twins said, making Daniel glare at the two of them.

"One, ow. Two yeah, she is. Maybe you guys can try some of her treats one of these days." Daniel told them.

"Hey! You can show us around your house now!" Honey exclaimed excitedly as the others nodded in agreement.

Daniel let out a sigh but knew it would happen eventually. "Alright, let's go. You guys already have seen the living room, and the kitchen is where my mom went. You guys can see that last." He told them as he headed up the stairs with the Hosts following him as he carried Honey on his back.

"We have one guest room, I'm sure you all won't be able to sleep in here," Daniel told them, opening up a door that led to a small, plain bedroom.

"The attic is in the hallway, you get to it by pulling this string attached to the trapdoor," Daniel said, demonstrating, the others looking in awe as a staircase came down as the trap door opened. "Nothing's really up there to see and I'm not going up there to show you," Daniel said to the disappointment of the others as Daniel closed up the attic.

The rest of the tour was showing his parents' room, his mom's office, which they didn't enter. His mom didn't like her things to be messed with, she worked with paint, crafts, and just art in general. His mom was always working on something new.

Soon enough the last room on the second floor they didn't see yet was Daniel's room. He really didn't want to show them, he was going to try to just head downstairs so they wouldn't notice but a certain pair of twins weren't going to let him skip out on showing them his room.

"Hey, you forgot this room! This must be your room." The twins said heading to the door, a grin on their faces.

"No, not my room, you're not going in there!" Daniel exclaimed hurrying over and blocking the door before the twins could get to the door handle.

"Awe, why not?" The red-heads asked as the other came around.

"Can we take a look, please, Da-chan?" Honey said giving him puppy dog eyes. Daniel grit his teeth before letting out a defeated sigh.

"Fine, don't mess with anything though." Daniel glared at them as he opened the door to his room with a slight blush on his cheeks.

He could already tell he was going to get teased once they all came into his room. "I never would've suspected you would be into stuffed animals," Hikaru said as they all were already exploring his room.

"I think it's so cute!" Honey said holding one of his stuffed animals, a pink, fluffy dog with floppy ears.

"Who would've thought my little boy would have such a cute side!" Tamaki exclaimed hugging the teen, making Daniel squirm.

"Stop that! Let me go! This is why I didn't want you guys in my room!" Daniel said blushing brightly as he got away from the blonde.

"Oh, don't be like that."

"It's not every day we see your soft side." The twins told him, wrapping their arms over Daniel's shoulders.

"It makes you that much cuter!" They grinned hugging him, squishing the teen between the twins.

Daniel couldn't stop his blush as he grits his teeth. "Stop hugging me, damn it!" He snapped, struggling against them until they finally let him go.

"Everyone, out of my room, and stop touching my stuff!" Daniel told them, pushing them out of his room.

"But what are we going to do while we're here?" The twins asked as Daniel finally got them out of his room, shutting the door behind them.

"I don't care as long as my room stays out of it," Daniel muttered heading downstairs to the living room. He was already exhausted and the sleepover wasn't even half over.

"Ah, boys, you finished looking around? I finished the snacks." Daniel's mother told them, smiling brightly once the others got downstairs.

"Oh, what a wonderful gesture, Mrs. Hideyoshi!" Tamaki exclaimed as the woman smiled and placed down a plate of pigs-in-a-blanket.

"Oh, please, call me, Hana." She said, feeling flattered by Tamaki's politeness.

"Um, excuse me, what are these?" Honey asked holding the finger food.

"They're hot-dogs wrapped in croissant bread or 'pigs-in-a-blanket'. It's a recipe my husband got in America." She answered, smiling as the others picked up some and started eating.

Once Tamaki took a bite his eyes widen as he quickly went over and took Hana's hands. "These are incredible, Hana, you have a gift!" Tamaki told her making Daniel facepalm.

"Oh, it's nothing, anyone can make them. Well, almost." She giggled as Daniel felt like that was aimed at him.

It seemed that the others got what she meant to as they all nodded not helping with the fact Daniel can't cook for shit.

"Excuse me for asking, but where's Daniel's father?" Hikaru asked, tilting his head along with Kaoru.

"Him? He's working right now with his sister at the pastry shop. He won't be home until later tonight." Hana replied.


~Later that day~


The next four hours were spent by the seven of them playing board games, and just games in general. Daniel's mother would pop by to check up on them before going back to her office to continue doing her art.

The games they played were Monopoly, that game alone took two hours before Kyoya was pronounced the victor by making the properties he had super expensive to pay off once he got hotels on those. Daniel ended up the first to go bankrupt in the game. He couldn't stop going to jail or landing on someone else's property. He had the worst luck and he couldn't help but be salty about it.

Daniel was grumpy about losing against everyone at Monopoly so he chose the next game, which he hoped he wouldn't lose at. This game was Clue. It was a fun game he played before he moved to Ouran, he would play it with his friends a lot. They would get more into the game as they played. His friends would pretend to be the characters and he would play along. It was so goofy but it was fun.

He didn't expect the hosts to do the same but they did enjoy the game, even Daniel forgot about his loss at Monopoly as they played a couple of rounds of Clue.

It wasn't until six when they finished playing and a half-hour later when Daniel's father came home. "Hey Dad, what did you bring home?" Daniel asked looking over as his dad came in with a container of what he assumed was sweets.

"They're cupcakes your Aunt made for you and your friends when we learned about your sleepover." His father told him before looking over at the Hosts.

"These are your new friends? Well, it's nice to meet you all." He greeted them with a smile.

"Are those really for us?" Honey asked excitedly looking at the container of cupcakes.

"Yes, they are, Mitskuni." His father told the smaller male.

"You know our names?" The twins asked.

"Of course I do, you two are the Hitachinn brothers, Hikaru and Kaoru. You must be Takashi Morinozuka, you're Tamaki Suoh, and of course, Kyoya Ootori." His father told them which confused Daniel greatly.

"Wait, I never told you their names, Dad," Daniel exclaimed.

"Well of course you don't, Kyoya calls your mother and I to check in with us about you." He told Daniel, causing the teen to look at him in shock. "It's quite a pleasure to meet you in person, Kyoya." His father smiled, shaking Kyoya's hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hideyoshi," Kyoya replied with a smile before letting go, letting Daniel's father head to the kitchen to put down the cupcakes.

"Kyoya-" Tamaki started before Kyoya quickly cut him off.

"We're taking care of the Hideyoshi's son, it's only natural to inform Daniel's parents on what we're doing. That would usually be your job to do so." Kyoya told the blonde, making him flinch dramatically as if an arrow stabbed him.

"Kyoya-senpai, why didn't you tell me you call my parents!" Daniel exclaimed before looking over at Tamaki. "Senpai, don't sulk behind the plants!"

After that revelation and some setting up, Daniel's parents were both in the kitchen cooking dinner before they could have cupcakes. It wouldn't take long but for some people, they were a little impatient about waiting for cupcakes.

"Daniel-chan, are you sure we can't have cupcakes now?" Honey asked Daniel, holding onto his shirt.

Daniel looked down at Honey, seeing him giving him puppy dog eyes. It was hard to say no but it was his parents' decision, not his.

"Sorry, Honey-Senpai, you'll have some after we eat." Daniel patted his head as the smaller teen deflated. Daniel gave Honey a sympathetic smile as they waited for dinner to be made.

Dinner wasn't anything big like Daniel assumed the other hosts were used to, it was normal for him. It was Spaghetti with sauce with some breadsticks.

"Hope you all enjoy and help yourselves to as much as you want," Hana told them with a smile.

They all thanked Daniel's parents for the food before they all ate. One person, in particular, was just excited to eat the cupcakes so they wanted to finish their food.

When it was time for dessert everyone took a cupcake and was finally able to taste Daniel's Aunt's cupcakes.

"These are incredible! I never tasted anything so good!" Tamaki exclaimed after having one bite.

"We might just have to include your Aunt's desserts for the guests at the Host Club," Kyoya told Daniel while said the teen was still eating his cupcake.

"Yeah! These are so delicious!" Honey told Daniel as he ate his third cupcake.

"Well, I'm glad to hear you like them, I'll be sure to tell Yua about how much you like them." Daniel's father chuckled, amused at their reactions to the cupcakes.

Soon enough it was getting late and it was time for everyone to go to sleep, or at least his parents went upstairs to go to sleep.

Daniel dressed back up into pajama's, avoiding wearing his onesie for obvious reasons. Though that didn't stop the others from cooing over him.

If he could he would've just slept in his room and left the others in the living room to sleep but his mother told him otherwise. Everyone was in their pj's as they all had their sleeping stuff courtesy of Tamaki for telling the others about sleepovers and how they would sleep.

Daniel just wanted this sleepover to be over but the others wanted to stay up longer and watch movies just like other sleepovers they heard about and currently were discussing what type of movie to watch.

"I could care less what you guys watch, I'm going to get ready to sleep," Daniel told them as he headed up to his room to get some blankets and pillows for himself before spotting an old dog plushie that was hidden under his pillow.

He bit his lip as he thought about bringing his little dog toy. He never slept without it but he also didn't want to be made fun of by the other guys. Well, Honey-Senpai did have his own stuffed-animal he brought, a bunny he named, Usa-chan. He just hoped he wouldn't regret this decision as he grabbed the toy and headed back downstairs.

"Awe, I didn't know you slept with a stuffed animal too." Hikaru cooed spotting the toy in Daniel's grasp.

Daniel couldn't stop his blush as he glared at the twin. "Shut up." He told him before setting his blankets and pillows down as he started laying down.

"What's its name?" Honey asked, holding his bunny as the smaller one went over to him.

Daniel was hesitant to answer with the other hosts watching but they already knew about his stuffed-animal collection. "... His name is Dodo, I've had him since I was four. I have trouble sleeping if I don't have him nearby." He told them quietly.

"Awe, you're so cute, Daniel." The twins told him with Tamaki.

Daniel looked away, grumbling as he held his german shepherd toy close to him. "Shut up, what movie did you guys pick?" He asked to get the topic off of him and his stuffed animal.

He could already see Honey's happy expression fade as he hugged Usa-chan close to him. That wasn't a good sign, so they weren't going to watch a comedy. The twins had evil grins on their faces with a glint in their eyes. "We're watching A horror movie." They said as they held up a disc they brought over.

The feminine male just shrugged, deflating their confidence a smidge. On the inside though, Daniel was cursing and panicking. Why didn't he know better? Of course, they would choose a horror movie. Daniel hated them with a passion, a big scaredy-cat when it came to that stuff.

Not even thirty minutes into the movie and Daniel was clinging to Mori with Honey, while everyone was watching the movie. The twins and Tamaki were disappointed that they weren't the ones Daniel clung to during the movie. That was the whole point of choosing a horror movie.

Daniel was hugging Dodo tightly as he watched the movie, he ended up hiding and using Mori as protection with Honey. If anyone could protect them from this horror stuff it was Mori-Senpai. He was tall and intimidating with a stoic expression on his face, the perfect protector. He just hoped Mori-Senpai didn't mind him clinging to him as he was scared for his life.

After the movie was over Daniel and Honey were the only ones still awake, both staring at the screen as the credits rolled. "U-Um, that was a... Movie. G-Good night, Honey-Senpai." Daniel told Honey as he laid down.

"N-Night." He heard Honey reply. Not even a minute later Honey moved and laid next to Daniel, getting under the blankets with him. Daniel didn't object, silently in relief that he wouldn't be sleeping alone.


~The Next Day~


All Daniel could hear was the hushed whispers as he tried to continue sleeping. He didn't want to get up, but he could still hear what the others were talking about.

"He's so cute when he's sleeping, especially with that stuff-animal." Tamaki cooed at Daniel's sleeping form.

"Yeah, he is, but it's almost twelve in the afternoon. He'll have to get up eventually, we're getting bored of waiting." He heard Kaoru say as the Hosts watched Daniel, sleep.

If Daniel expected something like shaking his shoulder or something like that to wake him up, that would be wrong. Nope, the twins started hitting him with their pillows, causing Daniel to shoot up in surprise.

"What the hell!?" Daniel exclaimed as the twins grinned at him.

"Afternoon, Daniel!" They told him innocently as if they didn't just assault him with pillows.

Daniel rubbed his eyes as he relaxed. "Why couldn't you wake me up like a normal person?" He grumbled.

"That would've been boring." The twins shrugged.

"Your mom made a delicious breakfast!" Honey told him jumping on Daniel's lap, startling the teen.

"I bet," Daniel replied, still waking himself up. He didn't expect there to be some left for him since it was the afternoon now.

"Now that everyone is up now, let's go somewhere!" The twins told them. "Show us around, Daniel." The twins asked Daniel.

"Do I have to?" Daniel whined not wanting to go anywhere.

"Come on, it'll be fun!"

"Besides you can show us your favorite places here and have something to eat along the way." Kyoya hummed just as Daniel realized he was hungry.

"Fine, alright. Just let me get dressed." Daniel grumbled getting up as the others cheered as Daniel headed upstairs to get changed.

Once Daniel was dressed he went downstairs seeing his mother there to see them off. "Have fun with your friends, sweetheart!" She told him as Daniel left with the others before he could get more embarrassed.

The first place they to was a fast food place to eat. Not a good thing for breakfast but it was the afternoon, he already missed breakfast and he could care less.

"Wow, I've never been into a place like this." The twins stated all of them seemed to be in awe of the place.

Daniel let the others do whatever they wished as he headed to the cashier, getting out his wallet. "I'm not paying for your guys' food," Daniel told them as he looked at the board to choose what he wanted.

"How may I help you?" The cashier asked with a smile as the others came up to him to see how to order. The female cashier blushed slightly at the group of boys as Daniel ordered what he wanted and asked what they wanted.

Her attraction towards them vanished as they started asking questions about stuff that should've been common knowledge. Daniel already felt himself get irritated as he pushed them away.

"You guys pick out where we'll sit, stop bothering the woman." Daniel snapped at them, earning some protest but eventually, they did leave to find a place for them all to sit. The only one not going with them to find a seat was Mori who stayed by Daniel's side to help carry the food.

"Thanks, Mori-senpai," Daniel told the tall male as he carried two of the multiple trays of food they got. Mori just nodded as they went to the others who found a spot in a booth.

The long-haired teen felt better after having something in his stomach, even if it was a cheeseburger with fries and a chocolate milkshake. He still couldn't believe this was their first time coming to a fast food joint, they all seem so interested in anything that was apparently below their high-class styles.

It was amusing in Daniel's eyes. All of them were interested in this 'commoner' stuff as they put it, he could even see the interest in Kyoya's eyes about this type of stuff.

That didn't mean he wanted to be around them more than necessary, they were exhausting to be around and because of them, he would only have one day, no, not even one day, to himself to relax.

At least Haruhi didn't have to go through this with him even though he would've felt better with someone like him to help deal with the Host Club Member's craziness.

The rest of the day was just spent just walking around and visiting small stores and parks and just doing whatever the others wanted to do with some direction from Daniel. When they went back to Daniel's house, Daniel was ready to go back to bed.

"I see that you all had fun!" Daniel's mom told them when they came in.

"Yeah, it was great! There's a lot of stuff we haven't experienced before now!" Honey told her.

"Well, I'm glad." She smiled.

"Yes, we have enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home! Though we must be heading to our homes now." Tamaki said as they all were packing their stuff.

"Feel free to come over again." His mother told the others as Daniel gave her a shocked look.

"Oh, we will." The twins grinned.

Soon enough once they were all gone, Daniel let out a sigh of relief. "Finally!" He groaned, collapsing on the couch earning a giggle from his mother.

Alex Иαкαмцяа: Im honestly trying not to wheeze because the sam amount of chaotic energy in the original is the same here like- boi Im in school trying not to laugh- also GREAT STORY! **Falls off my chair** ACK-

I'm glad that you've liked this so far! That was the plan, I didn't want to change too much about the story, just some bits, and pieces.

I wanted to make Daniel's story not so much as a repeat of Haruhi's story in some places since others have whined about that in past reviews in the original.

Not much has changed but I did realize almost every story I've read starts with the main character breaking something belonging to the Host Club like Haruhi, including the original and I wanted to change that. I'm not saying every OHSHC fanfic has that, that's just what I've read.
