Do I exist? Ch 8 OHSHC BXB fanfic

Stuck In The Rafters

Itsuki's POV

Re-chan and I are starting to watch an anime together, Free! It's about a competitive swimmer named Haruka. I haven't read the manga yet so it's a new experience for me. I believe Re-chan has seen it but that's okay.

"I'm going to get snacks. Don't start without me." I tell Renge, she was about to press play but stopped. I go to grab our regular snacks from the kitchen, which she has permitted me to enter and use.

This Friday the hosts planned to do Arabic costumes and from what I can tell they failed. Instead of a bustling club I see the discarded costumes on the side of the room, no guests, and the hosts fussing over an elementary schooler. They seem to be training him to be a host. Seems like a job for Renge. Quickly texting her that she might want to assist them I get our rice, cupcakes, coffee, and Puchao gummies.

I've been using my friendship with Renge to introduce her to all types of 'commoner' candy. She is utterly fascinated and after Wednesday's Hello Panda success I thought I'd branch out and try gummies.

Going out to the main room, tray in hand, I see the twins and Tamaki fawning over how manly Haruhi is and how she is most definitely a he. When she offers the middle schooler a tea tray he purposely drops it and blames Haruhi. Setting down my tray I go and get a closer look and the situation. Kyoya calls out that the broken tea set shall be added to Haruhi's debt and Tamaki tries to assert his kingliness. As I'm behind the elementary schooler I hear Tamaki in his most demanding voice command.

"Noisy brat! Isolate him." With that the twins pull a rope and I am stuck in a cage with an angry kid who looks very fed up with the host club and their antics. WAIT! Why is there a cage in a music room? Actually it's the host club, why wouldn't there be a random cage hanging from the ceiling?

As I stop panicking and accept my fate, I look at Haru, she questions the hosts about the cage and they just give her deadpan looks. Seeing she can't get me out she shrugs and I shrug back. Looks like I'm waiting until they let the kid out. Reaching for my phone to tell Renge of my predicament, I realize I left it next to the tray. As I take in the hosts I realize that they won't let the kid out for a while, which means I'm stuck in here. Sighing I sit on the cages side, legs between the slats and head resting in between two bars.

The twins seem to be getting bored and Tamaki is quickly losing any logic as he lectures a middle schooler about pleasing women. I don't get why a middle school cares what women think, I mean he's still a kid. Maybe he has a crush and doesn't know how to handle it. I guess it doesn't matter, the host club will now and forever insert themselves in his life and he will never escape their crazy plans and ideas. I'm sure he'll get everything figured out and the host club will help in some weird way.

Glancing at Kyoya I see him looking directly at me, smirking. What is with him and smirking, add that with the evil genius anime glare he gets on his glasses every time he gets an idea makes it seem like he's planning my ultimate demise. His attention is drawn away by having to describe the host's types. I slightly tune him out as I drift off. There's something about being caged and uninterested that makes me tired.

"-and now our group is complete with the addition of Haruhi, the natural" Kyoya finishes and Haruhi looks downright confused.

"The natural?" I giggle quietly. She didn't know her type, she really is a natural at almost everything especially being oblivious. For all her book smarts she is definitely naturally clueless to many people's emotions and advances towards her, friendly, romantic, or otherwise. The sound of a motor introduces Renge to the scene as she lectures and guides the hosts through choosing a type for the middle schooler whose name seems to be Shiro.

After declaring Shiro to be the naughty type I feel a jolt and have no time to untangle myself from the cage bars as it is hoisted into the air. The hosts have let Shiro out for host training and now I am all but forgotten by Haru and Kyoya and must live out my life in the rafters stuck sitting on a dangling cage, oh woes me.

Renege POV

Where is Suki?? I got his text, went to manage the hosts, and bam gone! Searching my lair I check all his favorite places. It may only be a five room underground lair but there are a lot of places to hide, get lost, or worse become injured. I hope Suki isn't hurt! Where could he be? Under here? I lifted up a blanket, but the human-shaped lump is just a pillow. The TV is still paused and my phone is by the remote. Texting Suki again I think. Maybe he is still getting snacks. Might as well check.

Using the boring way, not the amazing portable motor lift, I exit my lair. The music room is now abandoned by the hosts. It's dark except for the light from the windows, giving the room a haunted feeling. Okay find Suki, get out of this room, and watch anime while stuffing our faces with commoner candy. Good plan.

"Suki? Are you in here" I call out, maybe he got distracted by something. As I walk to the kitchen I see a tray. Is that the snack tray for Suki and I? It must be judging by the spread. So he was here. Maybe he went to help the hosts, that would make sense. I should call him one more time.

*bzzt bzzt bzzt*

I look down and see Suki's phone by the tray.

"Oh Suki, what's the point of giving you a phone if you're just gonna abandon it?" Sighing, I grab it and make my way to the lower school in search of the hosts and hopefully Suki.

Unknown's POV

The twin, Suki, is missing? I should help look for him. I need to recruit him and finding him would be a good start.
