I'm going to be taking a break, I'll be back around the beginning of May to continue this story.


Chapter 9: Daniel's First Date!

Soon enough the day Daniel has been dreading had come, the contest's conclusion. Once Club hours were over Kyoya would announce the winner of the contest and then he would have to go on a date with whoever won.

He really didn't want Tamaki or the Twins to win, it was hard enough to deal with them on a normal day with others around. He could just imagine the type of date Tamaki would make him go through. He would go all out on the romance, take him for dinner and really try to woo him. It was still Tamaki though and he really didn't want to go through that. The twins on the other hand...

He had no idea what their date would be like and that scared him. They were unpredictable and he hated that.

"Elle-chan!" Honey exclaimed, giving the male hardly any time to react before Honey jumped on his back, smiling happily.

"H-Honey-senpai, give me a bit of a warning before you jump on me like that," Daniel told, the smaller male.

"Okay! Anyway, the contest is ending today! Are you excited to find out who won?" The blonde asked smiling brightly.

"Don't remind me," Daniel muttered. "And not really, I don't like how I'm forced to go on a date or get involved in this stupid contest." He told the other with a grumble.

"Cheer up, Elle-chan! I'm sure it'll be fun, who knows what could happen!" Honey told him before jumping off. "See you at the club, Elle-chan!" Honey left, waving at him before running off while Mori followed after the blonde.

"That's what I'm afraid of," Daniel told himself as he waved the two off. He almost didn't notice Mori was there with them, he was really quiet. He also couldn't believe Honey and Mori were both third-years. You'd never have guessed if you first saw Honey.

Ever since the start of this contest he has been getting more attention from the guys at school, they were getting more cocky and confident about them being the ones to take Daniel out on a date. The male was losing hope in the people at this school. He's been flirted with multiple times and has received love letters in his locker, it wasn't as extravagant as when Aaron decorated his locker, but this was more annoying.

He felt his eye twitch as he could see some letters sticking out from his locker, he was afraid of opening it. Were guys really this desperate for him to notice them or date them? Apparently, they were as he opened his locker and stared with a blank expression at the waterfall of letters addressed to him.

All Daniel could do was let out a sigh as he cleaned the mess and stashed them away, he couldn't wait for the day people would realize he's actually a guy. Though the fact that it could potentially ruin any chance of him getting into a good college for deceiving a whole school was a huge factor in how good he was at pretending to be a girl.

He really didn't have to do much with how he acted, it was his looks that most mattered in how his gender is perceived. He just hoped he didn't look more masculine as he continued Ouran Academy. That would definitely give things away.

Once Daniel stepped into class he saw that the Twins and Haruhi were already there. The three were talking, though it seemed the twins were the ones leading the conversation. They only stopped when they saw the male enter the classroom. Daniel could only sweatdrop when the twins immediately grinned at him with a glint in their eyes.

"Danielle! Sit by us!" They told him in unison, already motioning to an empty seat by them. He looked over at Haruhi for some help but the girl had her nose stuck into a book causing him to sigh and head over.

"We were just talking about what the contest results are going to be at the end of the day." They told him.

'Of course, they were.' Daniel thought to himself before Haruhi spoke up.

"I keep telling them there's a low chance any of the host club members would win, especially those two and Tamaki," Haruhi told Daniel, in a way trying to make him feel better.

"That's not true, Kyoya did say we can enter as many times as we want so we just had to make sure we entered more than everyone else." They snickered.

"Why do you guys even want to win so bad?" Daniel couldn't help but question them.

"Obviously we want to hang out with you without the others getting the way," Kaoru replied which gave the male a weird feeling in his gut.

"Plus we want to see you in that dress." Hikaru snickered causing Daniel to immediately lose that feeling, replacing it with irritation and a slight blush.

"You two are awful." He bluntly told them which they just laughed in response.


~During Club Hours~


The whole day was just talking about the contest much to Daniel's dismay. Everyone who knew about it couldn't stop talking about it. It only made the male uncomfortable. Though today's theme in the Host Club didn't make it any better.

Apparently being Pirates and Mermaids were what the guests were into right now. He didn't get it, nor did he want to.

"Why do I have to be a mermaid?" Daniel asked as he pulled the curtain from the changing rooms.

"Because you're already posing as a girl, it makes sense." The Twins told him, the two of them were dressed as pirates.

"Don't worry, Elle-chan! I'm going to be a mermaid too!" Honey told him as he came out wearing his own costume like a mermaid.

"You're technically a merman, Honey-Senpai," Haruhi told the small blonde as she was dressed as a pirate.

"Come on, the Boss is going to get into another fit if we keep wasting time." The twins told him as they headed off.

"W-Wait, how am I supposed to walk!?" Daniel exclaimed. Mori came over and picked him up, bridal style causing the male to blush in embarrassment.

"You look so cute, adorable!" Tamaki commented once Daniel was brought over to the others. Daniel honestly expected Tamaki to be a pirate but the male was also dressed as a merman. This made this experience even worse.

"You can put me down now, Mori," Daniel told the tall male, already having enough of today. As soon as the male was put down it was time to open up the Host Club and entertain some guests.

It was fine for the first part of hosting, but pretty soon the guests were curious about who he would want to win the contest.

"So, Danielle, which one of the hosts would you prefer to win?" One of the girls asked while he was drinking some tea causing him to cough.

"E-Excuse me? Repeat that?" He asked which made the girl giggle in amusement.

"Who would you want to date?" The girl asked which garnered the attention of the other hosts.

Daniel couldn't stop himself from blushing in embarrassment at that question. "W-Well, I-" Before Daniel could finish his reply the twins showed up.

"Well, Danielle, which one of us would you date?" They grinned at him making the male get more nervous and irritated about answering the question.

"I would never date any of you willingly." Daniel snapped and turning his attention back to his tea. It was more sugar than tea but it was the only way he would drink it without gagging.

"I'm sure that's not the case, you got so nervous about it so you must like one of us." Hikaru grinned causing Daniel to shoot a glare at the twin.

"May I have your attention, please. Since the Host Club is close to ending for the day we'll announce the result of the contest for Miss Danielle's first date." Kyoya announced giving Daniel a feeling of dread and anticipation on who won.

Everyone else gathered around in anticipation as Kyoya started rummaging through the box to pick at random. 'Please let it not be the twins or Tamaki. Please let it not be the twins or Tamaki.' Daniel pleaded mentally as he watched Kyoya take out a slip of paper, unfolding it as he read the name.

"Congratulations, Hikaru and Kaoru. You two are the winners." Kyoya announced, showing the slip of paper where the names, 'Hikaru and Kaoru' were written on it. There were some disappointed noises from some guests and squeals from others. Tamaki was on his hands and knees in shock as the twins grinned in victory and high-fived each other.

Daniel was pale at the thought of having to spend a day with the twins, alone. The shock appeared too much for him as he fell over, passing out.

When Daniel woke up he was no longer in the club room. "Huh? Where am I?" Daniel asked, sitting up before realizing he was in the nurse's office.

"You're awake, that's good. Your friends brought you here after you passed out. I've contacted your mother and she will be here shortly." The nurse told him. "You didn't get a concussion, but you should be more careful." They told him, making him nod.

"I will, thank you." He replied, glad that it was all over. The nurse just smiled and nodded before the door opened.

"My baby, are you alright!? I came once I was told you fainted." His mom told him, going over and hugging him, kissing his face.

"Mom!" He whined. "I'm fine, stop kissing me," Daniel whined as the nurse giggled, amused at the scene.

"Oh, hush and let your mom love you." She cooed, but let go of him so he could get off the medical table. "Thank you for taking care of my child." She told the nurse.

"Anytime, it is my job after all." The nurse smiled as Daniel and his mom left.


~At Daniel's Home~


As soon as Daniel was home he just laid on the couch, groaning. He has told his mom about what happened and she wasn't any help.

"Darling, it's not as if it's a real date, you're just going to being spending time with your friends. When is this playdate anyway?" She asked, sitting by him and petting his head.

"I don't know, but I don't want to spend time with them, they're just going to tease me the whole time." He whined, not mentioning having to wear that stupid dress they picked out for him.

"That's what friends do. It's what your friends back in Kita did." She told him.

Daniel didn't have a reply for that, it was true. His friends back in Kita always found ways to tease him, one in particular with pink hair.

The sound of Daniel's phone ringing made him look up, he could only think of who it could be as he sat up and answered. "Hello?" He hesitantly asked before hearing Hikaru on the other end of the line.

"Hey, Daniel, glad you're alright! Kaoru and I plan on picking you up at seven tomorrow night for our date!" Daniel heard followed by some goodbyes from both twins and Kaoru telling him to say hello to his parents for them making him groan.

"I'm guessing that was them?" His mother asked with a giggle as Daniel nodded.

"Yeah, they're coming at seven pm tomorrow. They also said hi to you and dad." He muttered.

"Oh, how fun! They're such sweet boys." She said making Daniel sigh. If only she knew them how he knew them. How all of the Host Club knew them. They're anything but sweet.


~Saturday, 6:30 pm~


Daniel was just dreading this date as it came closer and closer to seven. Early he was sent a text from Kaoru to bring extra clothes. He was confused by that text but didn't question it. Those two were always up to something.

So there he was in his room in some casual clothing as he held his stuffed animal, Dodo. "What am I going to do?" He asked the small, German Shepard toy, staring at its brown, eyes. Obviously, he didn't receive an answer before hearing his mother call him from downstairs.

"Daniel! Come down, sweety! Your friends are here!" She told them. This made him groan, they were early, but he forced himself to get up, placing his stuffed animal under his pillow before heading down with a bag of clothes he was told to bring.

As he walked down the stairs he saw the familiar red heads talking to his mom at the front door. They faced him once he was at the bottom of the stairs.

"Hey, Daniel, ready?" The twins asked with big grins on their faces.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Daniel muttered heading over.

"Have fun you three, tell me all about it when you get home, Daniel." His mother told them as the three walked out towards the limo parked in front of his house.

"We will!" The twins told her with smiles on their faces and a wave.

"Yeah, yeah, bye mom!" Daniel told his mom, giving her a hug before following after the twins to get in their limo. A part of him was a little excited since he never been in a limo before, but then again he was going to be alone with the twins, and who knows what they have planned for him. He was just glad they didn't show up with that dress to his house.

As soon as the limo started driving off Daniel couldn't stop himself from looking out the window. He had conflicting feelings about being in a limo. On one hand, he felt so excited and important for being in a limo. On the other hand, it felt inefficient, why would you have a long vehicle with so many seats if there weren't that many of you? A smaller vehicle would have been just as fine.

"So, what are we doing?" Daniel asked the twins, looking over at the two across from him.

"Well, it wouldn't be much fun if we told you." They grinned which caused him to roll his eyes.

"Whatever." He replied before looking back out the window and seeing a huge mansion. He couldn't help but look in awe which the twins noticed.

"Like what you see?" Hikaru asked with a grin as the limo parked and the chauffeur opened the door for them.

Daniel rolled his eyes, stepping out as he looked back at the mansion. As soon as they got to the entrance the door opened for them. "Welcome home, young masters." A pair of twin servants greeted them with smiles on their faces.

'Are all of their servants' twins?' Daniel thought to himself as he followed the twins.

"Before we do anything there is something you have to do, Daniel~," The twins told him. The male was confused before the twins took out the dress causing his heart to drop to his stomach. This date was already turning out to be awful in Daniel's mind.

The next thing he knew he was in the Twins' room dressed up in that monstrosity of a dress with a blank expression on his face.

"You look so cute, come one, spin around." The twins told him with their phones up, recording him. Daniel growled at them but begrudgingly span around for them.

"Awe, don't be like that, D. Just think about all the food we're going to have for dinner." Hikaru grinned,

"It should be ready for us, right now." Kaoru continued with a grin as the two saw Daniel perk up slightly.

Daniel's eyes were wide and sparkling at the spread once they made it to the dining area. "Dig in," Kaoru told him with a smile and Daniel didn't need to be told twice. Everything looked so delicious and it made Daniel want one of everything, maybe even more.

The twins both sweat-dropped once they were all seated down and watching Daniel gulf down the food. "Uh, Daniel, you should really slow down. You're going to get sick." Hikaru told the male.

Daniel did seem to pause slightly, but otherwise completely ignored the twin besides slowing down a little bit. The food was just so good to the male and he didn't want to waste anything. Though it proved to be his downfall.

As soon as the food reached his stomach it hurt, it was awful. He ate so much and it was biting him in the butt. Daniel could do nothing but lay his head on the table. The twins were on either side of him, rubbing his back in an attempt on making him feel better.

"I don't want to say, 'I told you so', but I told you so," Hikaru told the male. Daniel's reply was lifting his head and shooting the male a glare with a 'shut up'.

Kaoru looked between his brother and Daniel before leaving them on Hikaru. "Hikaru, can you go get some medicine for Daniel? I'll stay here with Daniel." Kaoru told his brother. Hikaru hesitated but nodded and left the room, leaving his twin with Daniel.

"I'm sorry you got sick." Kaoru apologized. "Though, Hikaru did tell you to slow down. There was a lot of food." Kaoru told him, slowly rubbing Daniel's back in circles.

"I know, it's just, I didn't want to waste anything. I didn't know if I would have that stuff again, I'm not rich like you goes who can afford food like this daily." Daniel told Kaoru with a sigh.

"Well, if it makes you feel better, later we'll be going out for ice cream. Though we'll take note not to give you a lot." Kaoru teased.

Daniel could only roll his eyes at the teasing. "I'm surprised you know a place to get ice cream, don't you get expensive high-class ice cream made for you?"

"Usually, yes, but that doesn't mean we can't go out and have ice cream like a normal person. I always found those small ice cream shops nice. It's a huge difference from what I'm used to." Kaoru told him.

Daniel let out a hum. "I think you'd like my Aunt's bakery. She doesn't just make cakes and stuff. She makes ice cream too."

"Well, her cupcakes were good from that sleepover, so I'll take your word for it. As long as you don't make it though." Kaoru grinned as Daniel glared at him making Kaoru laugh.

The doors opened as Hikaru came back into the dining room. "I'm back, here," Hikaru said before handing Daniel some medicine and moved a glass of water close to him.

"Thanks," Daniel muttered as he sat up and took the medicine, followed by a drink of water. "So, what else are we going to do?" Daniel questioned, looking back at the two.

"We're going to play games!" They said with grins.

"... What kind of games?" Daniel asked as the twins' grins grew.

"Good games." They answered causing him to roll his eyes again.

"You can get changed first unless you like wearing the dress." They teased him.

Daniel immediately shot out of his chair and headed to get changed once they told him he could. He couldn't wait to wear his normal clothes again, he hated wearing that thing.

He let out a sigh of relief once he finished changing and exited the bathroom and nearly jumped seeing the twins waiting for him on the bed.

"Ready?" They asked, grinning excitedly.

"As I'll ever be," Daniel replied, wondering what kind of games they meant and if he had to be worried.

What he didn't expect was for them to have a game room. "You have a game room!?" He exclaimed earning a chuckle from the twins.

"Of course we do, what else are we supposed to do all day?" They shrugged as if it wasn't anything special, but the looks on their faces said otherwise.

"This is so cool!" Daniel exclaimed rushing into the game room, heading for one of the arcade machines.

"He's so cute." The Twins said before following after the male to play games too.

Daniel was having a blast playing these arcade games, at the beginning he thought this date would just be full of him being teased and messed with, but it was actually nice. He wouldn't admit it to them but he had fun, especially since finding out they have a huge game room in their mansion! He was even tempted to come over again just to play games.

He didn't know how long they've spent playing games, but Daniel was having fun. "Hey, Daniel!" He heard Hikaru call out to him, making the male look over to see the twin next to an arcade machine, holding an orange and blue gun attached to it. "I bet I can beat you at this game." Hikaru grinned.

"I'm not doing another bet with you guys." Daniel narrowed his eyes.

"Come one, it's not that bad, if you win you can get anything you want!" They told him.

It was a tempting offer, very tempting but he knew there was a catch, "But...?" He questioned.

"But, if you lose you have to have a sleepover with us." They continued with very confident grins, knowing Daniel wouldn't be able to resist.

Daniel bit his lip as he thought about it, it was just a sleepover, that was tame compared to the last bet about the dress. "Fine, you're on!" Daniel declared, walking over and taking the second gun while standing next to Hikaru.

It quickly dawned on him that he was at a disadvantage against the Twin, he hasn't played these games as long as they have, but he wasn't just going to let Hikaru win! He wanted to hold them onto their word about getting him anything he wanted.

Even though Daniel really wanted to win, luck wasn't on his side. "That's dumb! I should've got that!" Daniel exclaimed as he glared at the scores, Hikaru's was much higher than his. "I should've won." He grumbled.

The twins chuckled at him in response. "No need to be a sore loser about it would ice cream make you feel better?" Hikaru suggested, remind Daniel what Kaoru told him.

"Yeah..." Daniel muttered in reply, following the twins out to go get some ice cream.

"Don't worry, Daniel, we can head to your place so you can get your stuff for our sleepover first," Kaoru told him.

"Yeah, yeah. I just have to call my mom to tell her first." Daniel told them, taking out his phone and calling his home phone. Daniel only had to wait a couple of rings before he got an answer.

"Hey, honey, how is everything? Are you doing alright?" He heard his mother ask him when she answered his call.

"Yeah, I'm doing alright, nothing's wrong, I just wanted to tell you I'll be sleeping over," Daniel told her, waiting for her response, a part of him hoping she would say he couldn't, but he knew his mom wouldn't do such a thing, she loved it when he hung out with his friends, sleepovers included.

"That's great! I'm guessing you'll be coming to get your stuff?"

"Yeah, we're about to head over so I'll see you in a bit." Daniel replied, hearing his mother's 'okay' and 'see you soon' before he hung up.

"You ready to go?" The Twins asked him while they waited at the door.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming." Daniel replied following after them to the limo that was already parked outside, waiting for them. That was going to take a while to get used to seeing that.

The ride back home didn't take too long, he wasn't going to be staying long, he was just going to get some clothes and then head out to get ice cream with the twins. He didn't even bother telling the twins to stay in the limo while he went out to get his stuff. He knew they wouldn't listen and follow him anyway.

When he entered his house he made sure not to be too loud, he knew his father would've been home by now and would be asleep by now. "You two be quiet, my dad should be asleep and I don't want him waking up." He threatened the two, glaring at them. The two responded by zipping their lips.

Daniel narrowed his eyes a bit more before looking away and heading up to his room, the twins following after him. Almost immediately the Twins were already looking around his room while Daniel packed some pajamas.

"Hey, where's your sleeping buddy?" Hikaru asked.

"Yeah, we want to see him." Kaoru continued.

"Dodo's somewhere you won't find him, and I'm not bringing him!" Daniel replied.

"Wait, found him." Hikaru grinned taking Dodo from under Daniel's pillow. "What were you saying about not finding him?" Hikaru teased.

Daniel could only blush in embarrassment before glaring at him. "Shut up, Let's just get ice cream already," Daniel told him, Hikaru chuckling in response before they all headed out and got into the limo.

"Oh, come on, aren't you having fun?" Hikaru cooed, holding Dodo in front of his face.

Daniel huffed and snatched the toy from Hikaru's grasp. "Yeah, I love being teased all the time," Daniel replied sarcastically with a roll of his eyes.

"Hey, it's not our fault your reactions are priceless." They snickered and poked his cheeks in response.

Daniel growled and swiped their hands away. "Stop it!" He exclaimed moving away from them as best as he could. The twins just pouted at that.

Eventually, they made it to an ice cream shop that was still open. Daniel already knew what flavor he was going to get, chocolate. He wasn't in the mood to be adventurous. The twins got their own ice cream, each with a different flavor. Hikaru got Maple flavored ice cream and Kaoru got Strawberry. Daniel made a face at the maple ice cream. "Why did you choose maple?"

"It's good, that's why. Maple's better than the other flavors anyway." Hikaru replied, licking his ice cream.

"Yeah right," Daniel remarked, having his ice cream.

"How do you know? Have you had Maple ice cream?" Hikaru mused.

"I don't need to try it to know it's not my thing." Daniel immediately replied.

"Come on, try some." Hikaru grinned, teasingly as he held his ice cream out to him.

Daniel made a face moving his face away from the ice cream as Hikaru kept moving it closer.

"No, stop! Kaoru do something!" Daniel tried getting help from the other twin as Kaoru was licking his own ice cream while watching them, amused.

"Okay." Kaoru grinned going over and holding Daniel in place.

"That's not what I meant!" Daniel exclaimed, struggling as Hikaru made Daniel have some Maple ice cream.

"There, not was that so bad?" They snickered as Daniel glared.

"Yes, it was," Daniel told them going back to his own ice cream, though he wouldn't admit it maple ice cream did taste okay.

The ride back to the Hitachiin Mansion was quiet, Daniel was feeling tired and was having trouble keeping his eyes open. He yawned as he leaned his head against the window, slowly falling asleep.

The twins noticed Daniel was asleep and kept quiet to not wake him. When they made it home Kaoru gathered Daniel's stuff as Hikaru picked up Daniel and brought him to the guest room. Daniel woke up slightly when they told him to get dressed and Daniel didn't argue when they helped him. Once Daniel's head hit the pillows he was out like a light.

When Daniel woke up the next morning he rubbed his eyes as he sat up. At first, he didn't know where he was until he remembered he was at the Twin's place. "Right..." He muttered as he looked around the room. He was surprised the Twins didn't make him sleep in their room, they can be considerate sometimes. "Yesterday wasn't so bad afterall." He commented as he smiled slightly as he recalled yesterday's events.
