Chapter 17 - Pirate Biscuits
(Unedited)
Your POV
The next day, was just an ordinary day. Lessons, lunch, a lesson, and finally the host club. Today we were having a pirate themed event, so the club room was decorated very extravagantly.
Wooden planked wallpaper which resembled that of the inside of a ship was hung on the walls, as was a fake wooden flooring beneath my feet. There were wooden tables and chairs, and a giant cannon in the corner which I hoped was just for show.
Kyoya greeted me at the door with a nod while the rest of the club were setting up the room.
"For you." He said as he passed me a brown dress with patches and a slight tear in it.
"Thanks." I reply, before moving to the back room.
After changing, I view myself in the long mirror in the booth. The brown material reaches to around the same length as my maid dress; halfway up my thighs, with the end unevenly cut and flared, as if torn. There's a cream blouse above the chestnut skirt which puffs out. There are no buttons for the first few holes of the blouse, revealing a small amount of chest, and there's a small tear in the left side. I tie my hair half up half down and slide into the small dark brown pumps I was given before leaving to the club room.
Everyone is here now and in their costumes. They all have similar brown torn pants or shorts, with either little or no shirts on. They all have some kind of accent to their outfit, for example Tamaki having a white sash around his basically bare chest. I wave at them as I come in.
"Wow, you guys look cool." I compliment them as they stop to look at me.
"So do you, (y/n)-Chan!" Honey calls, running up to me and hugging me. I thank him and hug him back.
Soon, the guests all filed in, gazing in amazement at the extravagant decorations. They sat down with their hosts and began to talk as normal.
Picking up my tray, which today carried this non-alcoholic rum stuff, as we weren't allowed real rum at school, and 'sea biscuits' which in my opinion looked pretty gross, I began walking round. I had asked Tamaki if he thought the guests would prefer something more appetising, but he said he wanted everything to be "as it was in the good ol' days".
Walking around the tables, I do my usual thing, stopping for an occasional chat. I was stopped at the Hitachiins' table today.
"Wow (y/n) you look good today." One of their guests complimented me. I blushed and thanked them. It's not normally that the girls talk to me.
"Yeah, the dress makes your figure look really good!" Their other guest said. Kaoru and Hikaru nodded in agreement. I began turning bright red; I never normally get this many compliments.
"Yeah (y/n) you're so pretty!" They both say.
"U-uh, thanks." Fumbling my fingers, I side stepped from foot to foot. I don't know what to say.
"Come on (y/n) don't be so embarrassed." Kaoru smiles, glancing at Hikaru. They both stand up.
"You know they're only telling the truth, right?" Hikaru adds, and they walk closer to me.
"Um... why don't you guys have a biscuit?" Pushing my tray forwards, I gesture towards the kinda gross looking cookies. They look at them hesitantly, before picking one up. They inspected them, before looking at each other.
"3...2...1..." they say in sync, before placing their biscuits into each other's mouths. They gag slightly, before running to the back room.
"Oh my gosh!" One of the girls say in shock.
"Are they okay? What have you done?" She glares at me, before looking back on the direction the twins left. I guessed the kindness was too good to be true
After a minute, Hikaru and Kaoru returned, but they were grinning.
"Those cookies were gross." They said as they stopped next to us. "But, we though of a game." They smirked.
In the end, we ended up having a competition to see who could eat the most without needing a drink or spitting them out.
We all stood behind a table with a small stack of six biscuits in front of each of us. We also had a cup of water and a bin next to us. Kyoya did a countdown, and we got ready.
"Go!" He blew a tiny whistle that he had for some reason.
First of all, I though I was doing pretty good, and I got my first one down fine. When I looked to my left, I saw Tamaki struggling to even finish his first, which made me almost spit mine out as I laughed. However, when I looked to my right, I saw that Hikaru and Kaoru were already halfway through their seconds, Haruhi had started her third, and Mori had only one biscuit left in his pile. Honey just ate cake because he said the biscuits looked gross. I didn't blame him.
Swallowing my biscuit, which was pretty hard, I picked up my second one. Hearing a noise from my left, I turned to see Tamaki gulping down his water. Rolling my eyes I swallowed my biscuit and shoved the next into my mouth, keeping eye contact with him. He sighed and looked away, and I smirked.
My victory was short lived, however, as I ended up spitting the last bit of that third biscuit out. They were so gross. I downed my water, and watched the others.
Hikaru and Kaoru had finished on four, Haruhi finished on five, and Mori ended up eating the rest of theirs. Well, at least someone liked them...
When the club was over, we all gathered together while these large hefty men took all of the props away, and the room was turned back to normal. It felt really empty now.
"Did everybody have fun?" Kyoya asked, closing his pad and tucking it in his waistband. We all nodded.
"The biscuits were terrible though." Hikaru complains, and most of us agree.
"They weren't that bad!" Tamaki cries, trying to defend his idea.
I roll my eyes. "Whatever, but we all know that you barely even got to two before giving up."
"Yeah, Takashi had thirteen!" Honey says excitedly as he wraps himself around Mori's leg. Tamaki frowns
"Tamaki, don't be sad." Haruhi says to him, sounding slightly bored, but he doesn't answer.
"Yeah, at least Mori liked your cookies, right?" I looked towards Mori.
"Mm." He nodded, and I smiled.
"See! At least Mori has good taste!" Tamaki bolts up, grinning at Mori who just looks at him. I think he's smiling inside though.
We talk for a while longer, until I realise my mom will be waiting for me outside. I say goodbye to everybody and tell them I have to leave. I hug everyone, before meeting my mom at her car.
"Did you have a good day? What are you wearing?" She laughs at me as I hop into the car. I shake my head.
"The club had a pirate themed day and they made me wear this." I sighed, and she chuckled at me.
"Did you have fun?" She asks.
"It was ok. There were these really gross biscuits though." I say, and she nods.
"You have some crumbs on your cheek." She smiles as she wipes it off for me.
"Thanks." I say.
"Your friends sound like a lot of work." She says to me as she starts up the car. I nod.
"Yeah, they are, but I love 'em though."
