The Host Club's Florist - An OHSHC Fanfiction

❀ Chapter 23 : Calla Lily ❀

┍━━━━━━━✿━━━━━━━┑

Sumire walked to the host club in a bit of a rush. Her ankle had healed quite nicely and right now she was late to her duties, today she was just serving, which was actually a lot more taxing than just sitting down and hosting.

"Hey sorry I'm late," she rushed it beelining to the changing room to change into her usual serving outfit. The twins said they had some new outfits for her coming in, but it hasn't arrived yet. She just hoped it wasn't anything weird.

"I sincerely apologize but Sumire is not hosting today."

Sumire stopped in her tracks before dashing to serve the plates of cake and approach Kyoya who was conversing with someone just outside the door.

"Oh I wasn't- I just didn't know where to find her and I wanted to give her this book-"

"Kyoya-senpai I heard my name," Sumire walked over giving Kyoya a curious look. Sighing, Kyoya opened the door further and Armin waved hi shyly.

"This young man wants to have a word with you," Kyoya stated throwing Armin a cold look before walking off with his notebook in hand.

Sumire smiled at Armin who looked pretty terrified, "Sorry about him, he's kinda strict on guests and stuff. What's up?"

"I was spending time in the library and I found a book that reminded me of you," Armin rambled rummaging around his bag to pull our a nicely sized book and handing it over to Sumire.

"Battle Royale? This is pretty thick," Sumire flipped through the pages, the books was at least an inch and a half thick.

"It's about a death match and there's a movie adaptation too. I remember you said you liked action and thriller, I thought you might like it"

"Hm, I think I'll read it actually. Thanks Armin, you're very sweet"

Armin smiled bashfully a small blush covered his face, "I-I think your senpai is getting mad, I should go, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"I'll be waiting," Sumire waved bye and shut the door, putting the book inside her bag and resuming her work.

"Sumire what'cha reading?" Hikaru plopped down on the sofa beside her peering on the cover.

Kaoru sat down as well, "That's a really thick book, I don't think I can finish that"

"One of my guests- Armin gave it to me. I could talk to him about it when he comes by tomorrow," Sumire absentmindedly answered her eyes not leaving the pages.

Honey hopped over carrying Usa-chan, "Sumi-chan is taking her hosting pretty seriously, right Takashi?"

"Hn"

"That's true, have you figured our your type?" Haruhi wondered aloud straightening the tablecloths and vases.

Sumire didn't even bat an eye, "Nope, can't be bothered"
