God had blessed him and FINALLY! He passed the test and got accepted into the school. His parents would probably be so proud right now...yeah...

"Oh, hey there, Takemichi-Kun." A familiar voice can be heard.

"It's nice to meet you again, Hanemiya-San!"

"Mahh...just call me, Kazutora. I'm only a year older than you."

"Of course, Kazutora-San."

"Mhmm...what class do you have next?"

"Math."

"I'll take you there, Takemichi-Kun."

"Thank you."

Suffice to say, the walk to class was taking too long for comfort. No one was talking and the teenage girls and boys have been ogling at Kazutora for the past...minute?

Wait...

IT'S ONLY BEEN A MINUTE?!

It felt like hours...heck, even YEARS. Eh...what harm could it do to make some small talk to ease the tension?

"Is there...anything interesting in this school?"

"Oh, there's plenty! I'm surprised you didn't know about it to be honest." Now this piqued the black-haired teen's curiosity. "In Ouran High School, we have 'host clubs'."

"Huh?"

The dual-haired male smiled before taking out a booklet of sorts and handing it to Takemichi. "You can read this later, Takemichi-Kun." Kazutora patted the younger's shoulder with the same smile still plastered on his face.

"Anyways, our school has multiple 'host clubs' where people pay to pretend to date us." He finished, running his hand through his fluffy hair. "It's pretty messed up for us to just make a job out of our appearance and be 'rent-a-boyfriends' but eh...we need money, kinda."

"Eh?"

"Yeah...this school's the first to do such a thing. Pretty wild, in my opinion."

"No offense but...aren't you all rich already?"

"Nahhhh...I'm not, at least. I'm a scholarship student just like you."

"Oh. Sorry."

"It's fine so don't worry your pretty little head about it."

"P-Pretty?!"

"You should get used to it because it's a business tactic to attract customers, Takemichi-Kun." The male proceeded to wink at the other before ruffling his hair. "I'm just warning you since...you're a scholarship student. You have a lot to lose, y'know?"

"Don't trust employees in host clubs...they're just grabby businessmen in the body of teenagers...not that I'm one to talk. Stay safe, alright?"

Takemichi could only nod, eyes wide and mouth agape.

"You better close that or else he will use that finger tactic on your mouth as promotional material." With that last warning, Kazutora left his side and began running as fast as he could.

Hoards of males and females alike ran after him as if he were water.

"Weirdo." A quiet and soft voice of a teenager could be heard. Takemichi turned around and luckily, his eyes weren't bombarded by artificial roses and sparkles.

Raven hair and brooding gray eyes were the first thing he noticed. The teen's black hair was parted to the right and a serious expression was etched on his pale face. He wore a scarf around his neck and had earphones.

That eye shape...it looked...eerie as if he's seen it before.

Takemichi swallowed his cowardice and decided to speak up. "You look...oddly familiar. What's your name?"

"Tachibana Naoto." The teen somehow heard Takemichi and took off one side of his earphones.

"Eh?"

"Whatever...let's just go to class first, Takemichi." The teenager grabbed the other by his wrist and dragged it to a desk that's in the middle. How did the guy know his name?!

"Tachibana...Naoto?"

"Yes, that's my name."

"Are you related to Tachibana Hinata, by any chance?"

A deadpan expression was sent Takemichi's way. "So after all this time you thought my sister was an only child...?"

"S-Sorry, Naoto-Kun!"

"Hahh...I don't know what my sister sees in you." The black-haired teenager scoffed before plugging in his earphones once again.

He was going to continue typing into his laptop when he came to a halt. "Well...you are quite the looker though." Naoto continued, nodding to himself while his black pupils studied Takemichi.

The latter became a blushing mess and buried his face inside of his palms. What he didn't see was the shit-eating smirk on Naoto's face.

"Oh, and to ease your upcoming confusion, Hinata and I are non-identical twins."
