A/N - aw shit it's been a while and Ed and Kyoya are acting distinctly OOC and I promise I'm working on writing but this is turning out not as good as I want and this is super short but I'm just gonna shut up and let you read
Previously: Ed woke up in Tamaki's body and went to school. Kyoya quickly noticed that Tamaki was not really Tamaki. Ed has survived the school day and takes a nap while Kyoya goes to take charge, and Tamaki wakes up confused. Ed is back in control and meets Haruhi, and is about to meet the rest of the hosts...
"We don't have long before guests start arriving," Kyoya began, scribbling furiously in his little black notebook. "We can't afford to stay closed for the day, which means we either need to find Tamaki in ten minutes or see how well you can act."
"Huh? Why me?" Ed crossed his arms over his chest and took a step forward.
"Because, Tamaki-senpai is the host with the highest request rate, or something," Haruhi muttered just loud enough to be heard.
"Though Haruhi here is becoming a close second," Kyoya interjected, snapping the notebook shut.
"Hey, hey!" A small blond boy interjected. "The rest of us haven't gotten a chance to meet Edo-chan yet~!"
"That's right," His stoic companion agreed.
"That's probably because we should be open for business in just a couple minutes," one of the red haired doppelgängers said, shrugging.
"Yeah, doesn't leave much time for much needed introductions," the other said, mirroring his twin.
"Anyways, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance," the first one said, as his brother finished with a mischievous "Edo-chan~"
"Uhh," Ed tried to lean away from the twins who were languidly leaning on his shoulders, and shook out his arms to try to shoo them off. "Look, just… what do I need to do? From what I gather, your friend seems to be a delusional asshole."
"You got the delusional part right," Haruhi muttered.
"But Tama-chan is more of an idiot than anything else," the blonde boy piped up.
"And how would you know what he's like, anyways?" The twins leaned towards Ed again, and tripped over each other as Ed fluidly dodged the mischievous boys.
"Hey, I'm just calling it like I see it," Ed crossed his arms. "And is still don't know everyone's name!"
Kyoya stepped forward. "The Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Kaoru," he indicated the red-headed boys. "Haninozuka Mitsukuni and Morinozuka Takashi," the blonde boy and his stoic friend waved.
"But you can call us Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai!" Haninozuka- or rather, Honey, said.
"And with that, our time is up," Kyoya frowned. "Just… try to act like a conceited prince madly in love with everything, everyone, and especially yourself."
Ed found himself shoved into a gold chair with red velvet cushions so luxurious it would have been better to call it a throne. The hosts arranged themselves around him, posing with each other but all smiling. Ed tried to force a grin to his face, but it contorted into more of a grimace as the doors swung open and he found himself about to be swallowed by a sea of yellow marshmallow dresses.
