III. THREE

Kiss Kiss fall in love

── ✧《✩》✧ ──

     Kyoya sat us down at a random table. I thought of soloing this whole host shit until I remembered I'm horrible with other people. Plus, I think we're a pretty good duo. A bunch of ladies sat down with us, over time some left and others came in. They could tell we were nervous but still decided to check us out...they're really sweet wow.

     We were really engaged in conversation until one girl spoke up, "So why did you join the Host Club?"

     'Oh that's the million dollar question--'

     Haruhi mumbled up a bullshit response about our family and our struggles and how we desperately need the host club--which isn't wrong i guess.

     Another girl gasped, "I see, your mother was sick and passed away ten years ago. Who does the chores around the house?"

     "Oh, I do them myself. My mother taught me. She was an amazing cook, and when she went to the hospital, she left me all kinds of great recipes. It was fun to create each dish, especially when they turned out well, and it made me happy to see Y/N and dad enjoy it. I've had a hard childhood, but the three of us have managed to make it through okay."

     "Haru i has been taking care of me ever since our mother passed away, we may be the same age but Haru is millions of lightyears away from me." I whispered to the girls, Haruhi avoided their glance and turned into a murmuring mess.

     She placed a hand on my head and roughed up my hair a bit, "Y/N's been a big help as well...even when they're sick, he... never fails to lend a helping hand, even when they're sick all the time..."

     "Sick? Like right now--" A girl was going to get up but Haruhi quickly grabbed her hand. Assuring her back to the couch.

     "It's not contagious, it's...the same illness my mother had. I was lucky that it had skipped me, but Y/N started showing signs only a few years ago." She explained as a bunch of girls started to sob.

     'So... that's what's wrong with me... the condition was unknown to us...Oh, please tell me I wont die...'

     They wished for me to get better and offered to give me as much chicken noodle soup as they could get their hands on. I waved them off with a smile. "I don't need any medicine as long as i get to see you ladies, i feel myself getting better already just by sitting here!"

     "So uh..." the same girl looked bashful, probably guilt sinking in. "I-Is it okay if tomorrow... We request to sit with you again?"

     "Yeah, we'll really appreciate that ladies."

     I agreed with Haruhi, "Please continue to send us your support!"

    "Haruhi, Y/N! Come here for a minute." Tamaki shouted at us, we looked back and forth between the two of us.

     We had no more customers...so it shouldn't be a problem if we went right?

     "I'd rather not, remember yesterday?" I whispered to Haruhi.

     "You're right...What's up?" she sighed and walked over to the two. I, on the other hand, rushed to Mori and Honeys table.

     "Here N/N-chan! Please have some cake!" Honey offered me my favorite slice, I was going to happily take it before a hand got to it first.

     "No can do," Mori scolded the both of us, "Y/N is sick, remember? Too many sweets may be too much for them."

     "And who told you that nonsense?" I rolled my eyes. He pointed over to Haruhi, I groaned and explained that I could have some in small amounts. He looked at me suspiciously before cutting me an even smaller piece from the already small slice. "I cant have anymore?"

     "Later."

     "Ahhh, how cute! Y/N is new but you guys already have such a tight bond!" A girl screeched.

     Another hooked onto her arm, she shook the other girl back and forth "It's like Mori-senpai is Y/N's personal doctor! Kyaaaaa!"

     "Of course! I asked Tadashi to take care of Y/N as well!" Honey senpai glistened as he held up a slice of cake to a girl's face, and she happily took it. "We all must do our part to take care of eachother! Isn't that right?"

     Mori grunted in affirmation, and we were interrupted by Haruhi shouting for help. She made eye contact with Mori, before I could even move, she was already by her side.

     She was holsted in the air, and Tamaki's jaw dropped. "U-Uh... Mori-senpai, you really didn't have to go that far.--Come on little one, let Daddy give you a big hug."

     'Oh fuck no, im out of this shit if he tries to refer to us as his daughters.'

     "I've already got a dad, I don't need another one."

     The rest of the day went on as normal. Me and Haruhi walked all the way to the train station and home. I was shivering, when dad saw us he immediately engulfed us in a hug. For the first time in a while, he had prepared dinner for the three of us. It was set already but I was so tired that I couldn't even keep my eyes awake anymore. I sat next to dad as he softly shoveled some rice into my mouth. I mindlessly chewed until i just rested my eyes on his shoulder.

     He looked at me in his chest and caressed my head, "She's getting worse everyday...she barely has energy to eat with her poor old dad anymore..."

     "Well, we were doing a lot of exercise and things around school today..."

     "Is that why you didn't come home earlier?" Haruhi explained to him all about the host club, our debt and everything else. "I would have offered to pay for the debt...but if you guys have a solution set out already, that's fine.. Just make sure N/N doesn't use too much energy... Some exercise and new adventures might be just the thing you both need."

     He softly picked me up and laid me down in what I was assuming was a shared room with Haruhi.

     "I'll clean up--"

     "No, honey. Go have your time, your dad and only dad has got this pumpkin." He pushed Haruhi into the room with me. She sighed and just changed out of the uniform. Soon we were both asleep.

     The next day went as normal, nothing out of the ordinary. I was focused so much on myself that I forgot to warn Haruhi about her bag and to keep an eye out for it.

     "Hey, what happened to my bag?" She asked as we walked out of the classroom, it was time to go to the host club.

     "Maybe... you left it... never mind, found it.." I pointed towards the lake outside the window.

     "Ugh, are you kidding me? Then how did that happen?" She sobbed, "It had some of your medicine in there--"

     "You have my medicine in there?"

     "No! I mean backup-- anyways, I didn't think there were bullies at this school." She sighed as we rushed down the long hallway.

     "This sucks, some of the medicine is staining your notes. Lets rush--"

     My shoulder bumped hard into someone else's. There was Seika Ayanokoji, the girl who's been obsessed with tamaki. "Oh! It's you again. I bet you love having Tamaki making you over and fawning over you. It's useless though. You're always going to be a second-class citizen."

     She looked down at her fan, expecting one of us to pick it up. Haruhi didn't move, but I took this opportunity. "Allow me, Ma'am. As a apology for bumping into you..."

     "Finally some manners coming out of you--"

     I picked up the fan and tossed it outside the window, right into the pond. "Whoops, my hand slipped--"

     She slapped me. Hard. My face stung.

     I looked at her astonished, she really fucking it me. "Y/N! Listen here, you can mess with me but don't you dare--"

     The girl quickly ran off, Haruhi looked between me and her.

     "She's not worth it--"

     "...you're right. I have a feeling that girl's the one who threw my bag in the pond. I can't be bothered with her right now though. I've gotta find my wallet or we won't have any money for food this week." She pulled my hand when she remembered. We finally made it to the bottom of the steps and immediately ran towards the pond. I took off my shoes.

     I rolled up my pants and sighed when i felt her eyeing me, "Don't try and stop me from helping you, i want to eat too."

     "...If you get sick again, I swear on everything..."

     "Yeah yeah, let's get over this so that my grippers aren't exposed to the world."

     "Fine--whats grippers?"

     I ignored her question as we searched the pond. I could feel myself getting sicker by the minute, but I need to help her find the food stamps. I turned to see Tamaki looking at us disappointedly, "Hey, commoners! You've got some nerve skipping out on the club like that. Why is your bag all wet?"

     Haruhi looked at me before telling Tamaki, "It's no big deal. I got it. I just can't find my food money."

     "...Hm?" They started taking off his shoes as well. I took out her bag from the water and put it to the side.

     "Hey, you don't have to do that. You'll get wet." She argued with him.

     Tamaki chuckled, "A little water never hurt anyone. Besides, people are always telling me that I'm dripping with good looks. Oh, hang on a second. What are you looking for? What's the matter, you're staring off into space. You're not falling for me, are you?"

     Haruhi scowled as she took the wallet out of Tamaki's hand, "No way!"

     "Whose bag is this?" He asked.

     "Haruhi's" I sighed.

     We quickly picked up all of Haru's items and ran all the way upstairs. I felt a cough rise in my throat, I tried stifling it—but Haruhi glared into my soul.

     "This is why I did want you to search with us—" she tossed a towel in my direction. We scurried to our seats only to see that the girls who promised to be here today were nowhere to be found?

     We waited a few moments until a certain redhead sat down in front of us, 'not good...' we made small talk before she looked at me, "You look awful."

    'Keep it in... keep it in'... "we were looking for haru's bag...it was in the pond."

    She softly smiled at my explanation, "You should take better care of yourself, one cold and it'll be the end of you. How did your bag end up in the pond anyway?"

     "Well uh, I guess I accidentally dropped it out the window at some point." Haruhi's eyes twitched at that comment.

     Ayanokoji gasped, "Oh really? That must've been terrible. I can't imagine what I'd do if my bag fell into the pond."

    I could tell that Haruhi was looking at me for help. 'Why would she request me when it's obvious she doesn't like us?'

     "And you actually made Tamaki search that dirty old pond with you." She gasped and put the tea cut to her lips. "How astonishing! You do realize he's a blueblood and not a commoner, right? The only reason he's paying attention to you is because he's trying to turn you into a gentleman."  Ayanokoji put the tea cup down and folded her hands under her chin. "Don't start thinking he cares about you just because he's doting on you."

     Haruhi looked at me worryingly, "Now I understand. She's jealous of us."

     Her face flushed red as she kicked the table below us, she grabbed onto haruhi's hand while i grabbed her other hand as well. Ayanokoji screamed as I pulled my sister backwards, the redhead screamed as we fell on our asses.  "Leave me alone! Somebody help, he just attacked me!"

     "How if we're on the other side?!"

     "S-Somebody do something! I pulled back in time but stopped them before they attacked me again.Teach these commoners a lesson!--KYAAH!" She was going on a rampage as the twins splashed water on the three of us. Damn, even when I pull us back--we still get soaked.

     I let out a sneeze as we stood up. "Really, water?"

     "Why did you do that? Do something, Tamaki. Haruhi and his sick infested brother just assaulted me."

     Tamaki pulled up the now wet girl, and she coiled into his side. He pulled back, "I'm disappointed in you. You threw his bag into the pond, didn't you?"

     "You don't know that. Do you have any proof that I did?"

     "You know, you're a beautiful girl, but you aren't classy enough to be our guest dear. If there's one thing I know, Haruhi and his brother are not that kind of a man."

     "But, why Tamaki? You idiot!"  She punched him hard in the stomach, she harshly shoved against my shoulders before running out of the host club. All the girls slowly went back to talking with themselves.

     Tamaki walked towards the both of us with a hand on his chin "Hmmm... Now how am I going to punish you? Because it is your fault after all....Your quota is now 1000!"

     "Its our fault that shes bullying us---"

     Tamaki hushed me and rubbed our heads, "Come on. I have high expectations for you, my little rookies."

     "We only have one uniform, you two can decide between the two of you who can wear---" I walked away to the towles and just layed down on the couches. I'll let haruhi take this one. "I guess Y/N is okay with just the couch. This is the only spare uniform we have. Sorry, but it's better than a wet one, right?"

     Haruhi looked at it and sighed, "Thanks a lot you guys. I'm gonna change. Dry off Y/N, I don't want them to get any sicker."

     The twins happily jumped at me with blankets, I was too tired to even react to them. I actually felt horrible, why was the AC so high in the room?

     Tamaki--who had no idea that Haruhi was halfway done changing walked into the changing room, "Haruhi, here you go. I brought you some towels...."

     "We could call the police on you for that..." Kyoya grinned.

     "So, you're a girl....?" Tamaki was actually shocked, his jaw slapped the ground.

     She came out of the changing room and fixed the tie."Biologically speaking, yeah"

     "What about... Y/N?" The club followed HAruhi as she sat down next to me.

     "Yep." She answered, I waved to the group and gave them a thumbs up, "Listen Senpai, I don't really care whether you guys recognize me as a boy or a girl. In my opinion, it's more important for a person to be recognized for who they are rather than for what sex they are."

     The blonde was in a stumbling mumbling mess,

     "Well isn't this an interesting development?" Kyoya grinned, i don't think anyone payed attention to it tho. "Now, I could be wrong but I think we may be witnessing the beginnings of love here."
