Chapter Ten - Host Club Fiasco! Twin Troubles
• • •

A bell tolled off in the distance, echoing, ricocheting around. It was snowing outside. Two little boys sat off in the distance, their white and blue coats, both entirely identical, billowing in the light wind. Little feet hung down from the bench.

Do you remember the first time we played that game? It was so long ago.

The bell rung once again. There was the reverberating sound of children squealing, having fun throwing snow at one another, and chasing each other.

All you could hear was the shrill giggles of happiness. Except from where those two boys sat. There, they watched at the children play, no emotion slipping onto their stoic features. The bell had finally stopped ringing. The two boys, the two twins, the two entities, held hands.

They were alone, sitting on their bench quietly.

"Hey, do you wanna make a snowman with me?" a small voiced asked.

It was a little girl. Her face held a smile, and the warmth coming off from her was so friendly, even the lonely twins couldn't help but notice it. "Which one of us are you talking too?" the little boy on the left asked.

"The both you, silly," she laughed. The other one began to speak.

"There's nobody here named both of you!"

She just gave them another dazzling smile. "Okay then, I'm talking to Hikaru and Kaoru." The two boys still sat on that lonely bench, holding hands tightly.

"Oh really," they harmonized. "Then which of us is Kaoru, and which of us is Hikaru? Can you tell?"

The little girl paused for a moment, starstruck.

She had no words for the little boys. She only looked into their faces and stared.

"Connor!"

Connor was suddenly tackled as he entered the Drama Club room. He cried out and fell on his butt, but not before his skirt flew up and showcased his girly panties.

"Get off me!" Connor screamed to Kanji.

Kanji happily obliged and then dusted herself off. Connor still sat on the floor, legs wide open, his arms hanging in front. He still hadn't mastered the art of crossing his legs. Or at least closing them like a decent women with any sense. "I hope you know that your pink panties are showing," Kanji chirped, when Connor glanced down and yelped, turning a bright pink.

"Excuse me for not having anything else to wear," he said, face still tinted. "I didn't do my laundry again, and I couldn't wear anything dirty.

Kanji laughed and then held out her hand, helping up the young cross dresser.

"Today I have an important job for you, straight from the boss," she stated.

"What do you mean, 'job'?" Connor asked. .

Kanji smirked and placed her tiny hands on her miniscule hips. "The boss is Chou Tanaki! She pays me for this you know. And the job you'll be doing is simple. We need information from Kaoru Hitachiin — just ask him questions about his mother. As long as no one suspects you're a guy, you'll be fine. In fact, even as a boy, you sort of look like a girl anyway, so it won't be hard to convince people that you are one."

Connor groaned. I hate this. Chou-san has everyone in on it. Is there nothing she won't do?

No, there isn't, a voice echoed in Connor's brain. He immediately jumped back, pretending that he didn't hear that.

"What club do I have to go to?"

Kanji smiled. "The Host Club."

"The Host what?"

"Welcome!"

As soon as Connor entered the room, along with several other girls, he was met with a sight. Kanji on the other of him just yawned as if it was a movie she'd seen to many times, to the point it bored her. Around them was seven boys; three of which looked familiar to him.

In the center of the boys sat the one, the only, Tamaki Suoh.

"Welcome to our house of beauty, my little kittens." Then he sent out a wink that had Connors cheeks flushing.

Kanji grabbed the edge of Connors skirt and pulled. "Hey, Callie, who do you wanna go with?"

Connor ignored her, eyeing the two other boys he seemed to know. He didn't know where. They were twins, that was obvious, with identical spiky orange hair, and deep, catlike, amber eyes. They had mischievous smiles, welcoming, promising, and also a little leering. Connor neared the boys, tilting his head and leaning over, looking at them. The boys then looked at him and frowned.

"Is there something," left one began.

"You need?" the right one ended.

"Yuzuha!" Connor finally shouted. "I know where I know you! I met one of you at a party with your mom, Yuzuha-sama!"

"You met our mother?" the right one asked. He pursed his lips, the face seeming familiar, but also foreign.

He couldn't place where he'd seen this girl.

Connor just shook his head and smiled at them. "Sorry I'm like really rude right now," he apologized, and then held out his hand to the boys. Each one shook his hand, although wearily, while other girls watched in envy. The one on the right introduced himself as Kaoru Hitachiin, while the one on the left introduced himself as Hikaru Hitachiin. Connor was slightly distracted by his mission. He wondered why Chou would need information about Yuzuha. Biting his already swollen lip, he kept his mouth shut.

Connor scanned the twins over, noticing the one named Kaoru had a bit of an orange flower petals poking out of his breath pocket.

Kanji, the small pink haired girl had gone unnoticed for quite a few minutes until she pulled hard on Connors skirt.

"C'mon Con- Callie! Time to pick our host!"

"Oh alright," Connor huffed. He looks around and frowned. He saw Tamaki, but seeing this side of Tamaki was giving him goosebumps. He glanced at the twins and wrinkled his nose in distaste. They were hovering over each other, looking super into it. I definitely don't have a gay, twin fetish, he muttered internally. His eyes skimmed some more and landed on a cute guy with glasses. He looked decently normal.

"I want to see him," Connor pointed towards the boy with glasses.

Kanji snickered. Connor, suspicious, asked her why she was laughing. "I never though you'd be into the intellectual type. You seem like a guy- girl who prefers idiots."

"You mean like that doof?" he said disgustedly, pointing at Tamaki. He had never pegged Tamaki as a boy toy.

Kanji smirked. "Exactly. Now let's get going firecracker. Time to work your magic!"

It was grueling.

Connor was a mess.

For some reason talking to Kyoya was so very difficult, although Kyo pretended as if he doesn't realize that Connor was stuttering, or that he twisted his skirt around his hands nervously.

It was so difficult to talk to someone so normal; someone who seemed to be...not weird. Kanji, Jade, and Ranka - hell even Chou - were all strange in their own way. It made talking to them easier but it seemed to be that they knew how it felt to be strange. Not only that, he need information from the twins but he didn't want to seem obvious.

A boy dressing as a girl seemed to be a flaw within itself.

It came to the point where he almost spilled tea on himself and Kanji dragged him away to a corner.

"What are you doing?" she asked. "You have one job, Connor! One job!"

"I know, I know!" he replied with animosity. "But I can't do it! I don't have the confidence..."

Kanji sighed and then pointed at Connor. "Look here man, you're a girl. Act like it. Pretend that you're Callie, not Connor from the wazoo, but Callie! Are you prepared to die? Because you know if Chou finds out u were a complete ditz, Candi will hunt you down and murder your ass."

Kanji shoved a piece of paper in Connors face. His eyes widened, and the paper fell from his fingertips. It was a list of all his living relatives, their address, and other information.

Connor felt tears well in his eyes.

He felt hopeless. The anxiety was beating down on him. He couldn't do this for himself. But for his family? That was a different story. But he realized what Kanji said was true. He needed to stop worrying about the negative, and focus on his goal: to survive the next hour. He needed to be Callie. He was Callie. He is Callie. So he took a deep breath and then glanced down at his freshly manicured nails.

He clenched his fist then smiled brightly at Kanji.

"I'm Callie."

"Yep. Now scoot your ass and hurry up! Glasses is gonna replace is with the next Barbie if we don't get a move on."

But before Connor - now acting as his role as Callie - could move, there was commotion.

"Well, I don't see what's so funny. I'm honest, I speak my mind, and I don't hold back. It's sneaky people like Kaoru who are the trouble makers," one of the twins said, glaring at his identical brother.

"Don't turn this on me, Hikaru. After all, I'm the one who's always going along with all of your selfish games!"

The left twin, the one without the orange petals, growled. "I may suggest them, but you are the one who really gets into them, Kaoru. If you hate it so much, then why don't you just stop?" Callie stared at the twin, trying to decipher what was going on. I thought twins were close, he said to himself. You'd think having the same face would make them be really good friends and all, but I guess it's the opposite. Maybe if I had a twin we'd hate each other.

Meanwhile, the fight went on. "Because I hate to see you make an ass of yourself in front of everyone. It was your idea to call Haruhi our toy, but I noticed you were quick to make a pass at her. Admit it, Hikaru. You're actually in love with Haruhi, aren't you?"

Connor pursed his lips. Are they starting trouble or...?

"Huh?" the left twin exclaimed.

"WHAT?!" Tamaki screamed, making Connor even more confused. Who was Haruhi?

"You've got it all wrong, Kaoru! Man, you're such a freaking idiot."

Connor couldn't watch anymore and quickly pushed everyone out the way, standing in-between the two boys, immediately stopping them from fighting. He frowned and crossed his arms, legs apart. This was an opportunity to get closer to them.

"If you two are gonna fight, do it somewhere quieter where people can't hear you talk about this Haruhi girl. Seriously, you're both making an ass out of yourselves!"

Everyone stared at Connor in disbelief. Had he really uttered those words?

"Sex pixie!" the right one pointed to the left one.

"Sicko!" the left shouted to the right.

"Your mama wears too much makeup. That's it. We're over!" the screamed simultaneously.

Connor was starstruck, left in the middle, mouth open.

"Oh shit," he groaned. "What did I do?" It seemed all he managed to do was aggrivate the situation.

Well done, dumbass.

I'm sorry for the terrible long chapter. Is it too long?

Just letting you know, Connors in for some real shit.

Bye!
