Separate Crushes
Finally we're back in school. And i've been avoiding Huni as much as I can. I can't stand the fiery sensation he leaves on me after touching me. Luckily, he's a third year and i'm a first, so I only have to bare with him in the Host Club. Which, by the way, has gotten like 30 more guests. Kyoya should be bowing down to me by now.
Today i'm wearing a black long sleeve top with the shoulders ripped, my black skinny jeans with my belt and combat boots. For accessories, I have some headphones and my fake glasses. Once the bell rings, ending class, I grab my bag and walk out with Kotetsu tailing me. We walk through the marble hallways in silence, smiling slightly to the people who pass us. Heading up the flight of stairs, my pace slows involuntarily.
"Ne, what's wrong Ko-Chan?" Tetsu asks, looking back at me. I stopped in front of the music room.
"I... have a feeling that today isn't going to go well..." I murmur, and slowly enter the room. Petals and bright lights greet us like usual, but I hear a squealing voice. Instant annoyance his me like a wall.
"B-but Renge.. we thought you went back to France?" Tamaki asks sheepishly. I see this girl with caramel hair and a pink bow running around the room.
"Yea, we thought we got rid of you after that movie shoot." The twins chime, their expressions blank.
"I had to visit my Father, he came down ill and I had to make sure he was okay. I'm back now though, and as excited as ever to be your manager again! Ah! You two must be Ryuko and Kotetsu!" This crazy person shouts, running over to us. I have the urge to punch this girl in the face. Repeatedly.
(A/N : Sorry to you Renge lovers, but she annoys the living hell out of me)
"O-oh, um.. hello?" Kotetsu says nervously while I walk off, pulling out a bag of kitkats.
"Goodbye."
"Ryuko.. be nice." Kyoya warns, giving me a stern look as I walk past him.
"You think i'd be nice, Shadow King?" I reply, giving him a smirk.
"Ryu-Chan~! My cupcake is still as sweet as ever~!" Huni shouts, bounding into the room with Mori trailing behind him. I groan, glaring at him as he bounces up to me. I soon hear a loud gasp and a woosh of air as Renge comes over to us.
"Are you two dating!?"
"No." "Yep~!"
"You guys are the cutest!! You're even shorter than Huni-Senpai, and it's the right combination of sweet and sour personalities~!" She squeals loudly, making me flinch.
I turn to Huni, "Hands off the merch."
"Places beautiful people~ The club will open soon!" Tamaki says, and I go to my sofa as the others greet the guests. My guests flood around me, a few of them having little bags of sweets, which I gladly accept.
"Ah Ryuko-Kun you're wearing your glasses again~" One girl fawns, and I smirk, winking.
"Can we take more pictures? Please Ryuko?"
"Aw why not," I smile, "Only if you don't brag about me~" a chuckle escapes my lips. "Who'm I kidding?" The girls giggle, pulling out their phones and taking selfies. "Won't you like a picture?" I ask a girl who's standing in the back. Her hair was blonde, but had streaks of pink in it. Hm, she must be new. "Who might you be?"
"I'm Nichi, I just transferred here last week."
I nod, "Chill name, I like it."
"Stuff like this doesn't really appeal to me, but one of my friends was talking about how there was a Badass type, and I decided to look into it. What type of music do you listen to?" She asks, brushing some hair behind her studded ear. Most of the girls were standing behind me, their phones still poised in photo-taking position. Glancing to my sides, I notice a lot of them giving her mean stares. Hmm.
"Um well, a little of everything actually. Panic! at the Disco is pretty cool, same with 21 Pilots." I shrug, and see a smile graced her lips. "Oo, do I see this as an invitation for a photo~?" I flirt and she laughs. Taking this as a yes, I go to stand next to her and kiss her cheek, but instead she wants to stand back to back with our arms crossed. Cool pose~
"Ryuko, Ryuko, take a selfie with me!" Huni skips over, cake smeared on his lips. I make a face and go to reject him until i see the guests' faces.
"Tch, fine, but remember what I said earlier." I mutter and he takes out his phone. He puts an arm over my shoulders and sets the camera up. I do my signature smirk while Huni smiles his usual adorable Lolita smile. Just as he's about to hit the picture button, he turns his head and kisses my cheek, snapping the picture. I'm positive i'm wearing a shocked expression. The bastard giggles and skips back to his table. Almost instantly all of the guests surround me, asking a bunch of questions.
"Alright ladies, I apologize but the club will now be closing." Kyoy announces and everyone pouts. As they all exit, I start marching over to Huni, but someone calls out my name. I look over to see Mikori.
"Eh? Hey Mikori, I was wondering where you were today." I say as she walks over to me. "The club's closed already, but i'd be happy to see you-" I get cut off as she grabs my shirt and pulls my body to hers. Her lips crash onto mine as she kisses me for a brief moment. Just as quick as it happened, she pulled away and darted out of the club after shoving a slip of paper into my hand.
"Wh-wha..." I slump onto a couch, my hand covering my mouth. Too. Many. Kisses!
"Um... let's hope she doesn't find out you're a girl, huh?" Tetsu laughs nervously, holding out a batch of cookies to me. I take them slowly, putting a cookie in my mouth and munching it numbly. Looking down at the paper, I see a phone number, which is written in Mikori's handwriting.
"This is the best thing ever! It could be a love triangle! Huni and Ryuko have a secret gay relationship, while little Mikori has an undenying love for the badass type!" Renge squeals, dancing around me. "It's the best thing in all of history!"
I trip her as she goes by. Kotetsu gives me a look but i'm still incoherent. A girl kissed me. A female. Same gender as me. Yes she's attractive, and yes i'm faking as a guy but... I like Huni.
At this thought I jolt up from the couch, my face finally finding that crimson shade of red. "N-no!" I shout, and the hosts give me weird looks. "U-um.. I mean.. no, it's not a love triangle Renge. Would you shut up already?" I tell her, standing up and gathering my things.
"Onii-Chan where're you going?"
"I need to go home. See you tomorrow." I rush out of the room, putting the headphones over my ears and fumbling with my phone to turn on some music.
"Ryuko?" A voice asks and I look to the side to see Nichi coming out of a classroom. "Woah what's up with you? You're all red, almost like your hair." She giggles while I smile weakly.
"Just.. a long day I guess."
"Looks like it. Wanna hang out for a bit? Take a walk in the courtyard or something to clear your mind?"
"That sounds.. nice." Nichi smiles and walks with my as I pull my headphones back down.
"What were you listening to?"
"Ah I actually didn't have anything on, I was about to turn on Victorious." I admit, and her eyes light up.
"Oh that's one of my favorite Panic! at the Disco songs!"
I laugh slightly as we get outside. "I never thought girls would be into that kind of music. Especially rich ones."
"Yea, i'm kind of the odd one in my family. And school." She says quietly, "You don't think it's weird is it?"
"No of course I don't. I know exactly what you mean when you're the odd one in the family, and I love how i'm not the only one into this type of music. It makes it feel as if i'm not so alone, y'know?" I talk casually, my hands slipping into my pockets as Mikori slips from my mind. Nichi nods in agreement, happy with what I said.
Nichi and I walk into the rose maze, slowly making our way through while looking at all of the different colored roses and making small talk. As we walk past a row with black roses, I turn and pick one, deciding to be hosty, I hold it out to her.
"A black rose goes well with your type of personality, it fits you, and me." I smile, de-thorning it and then tucking it behind her ear. "Black is my rose color in the club, too."
"Thank you, Ryuko-Kun." Nichi says quietly, a light blush rising to her cheeks as she smiles shyly. Out of all of my guests, I really like her. I wonder if i'd be able to tell her i'm a girl too? Deciding to add a little music, I pull out my phone and turn on the Death of a Bachelor album. Nichi's face lights up as she listens to the music.
"So you listen to this, can you sing it well?" She asks me as we come to the center of the garden, where a fountain is.
"Oh ho ho~ Is that a challenge Miss Nichi?" I question playfully and she laughs.
"Maybe I am~"
Waiting for the next song to start, Victorious comes on. Singing in a male pitch, I sing. "Tonight we are victorious, champagne pouring over us, all my friends we're glorious, tonight we are victorious. Oh-oh-oh-oh victorious, oh-oh-oh-oh! Double bubble disco queen, headed to the guillotine, skin as cool as Steve McQueen, let me be your killer king~ It hurts until it stops, we will love until it's not-"
"Wait!" Nichi cuts me off, and I pout as the song continues. "Killer King! That's perfect!"
"Eh?"
"Everyone calls Kyoya the Shadow King, right? And Tamaki's just the king in general, but you can be the Killer King!" She exclaims, pointing at me dramatically. "Oh, you're also a really good singer."
"Hm.. I like it! Killer King~ It could be like a secondary name to The Badass Type. And thank you~ I mean, I already knew I was a good singer." I brag and Nichi playfully punches my arm.
Finding our way back out of the maze, a limo pulls up in front of the school. "Ah that's my ride. Text me sometime~" Nichi hands me a slip of paper with her number on it before climbing into the slick black expensive vehicle.
"We can record some music next time." I wink as the window rolls up and the car drives off. I sigh and slowly sit down on the steps of the school, the paper gripped in my hand, and I remember Mikori's number in my pocket. I pull out my cigs and light one, sucking on it as the time unfolds before me.
Renge and her stupid rants, the selfies, Huni, Mikori, kisses, sweets, Nichi, roses, and singing. Mikori. Who knew she had that much of a crush on me? I knew that hosting was basically messing with these girls' hearts, but woah. I wonder if I should actually text her or not...
Then there's Huni. I can't believe he kissed my cheek with all of the girls around. If my true identity is released, my parents would send me to America or something. Then after Mikori kissed me, I had that thought. Do I really like Huni? It can't be... I haven't even known him that long and he's only been a bastard to me. The fact that he was so excited that I was shorter than him pissed me off. Grr, I was just lying to myself. Yeah. I'd never have a crush on Huni. There's too many other things on my mind to do that.
Snuffing out my cigarette I stand up and start walking back home. I don't have a crush on him.
