The Strange Gamer

Chapter 22

So, the whole curse thing begins! Mwahaha. Poor Honey! Also some more Gema backstory!

............................................................................................................

"Achoo!" Honey sneezed.

Gema held out a tissue for him he had sat in the middle of him and Mori. He took one and blew his nose. The guests went straight to freaking out.

"Oh Honey! Do you have a cold?"

"It's easy to get sick when the seasons are changing." (Yeah, tell me about it)

"No, I'm fine." He replied with a smile.

"Take care of yourself. Actually, I feel slightly feverish myself." A girl said.

Gema stood up quickly and made his way over to her. He placed his forehead on hers to check her temperature. She was slightly warm. The guests were blushing at this scene as they didn't expect Gema to do anything during his break from his games.

His actual thought process went along the lines of this: 'If she is sick, she could get the other hosts sick. As much as I don't want to come here, I would rather the others be healthy.'

"You are slightly warm. You should go home and get plenty of rest. It's no good if you're sick." Gema said as he helped her up like she was a delicate flower.

She blushed. "Okay, Gema-san!" And she rushed out the door.

Gema sighed as he took his seat. "It would be ashamed if the pretty ladies all got sick so please take care of yourselves." He gave them all a lopsided smile.

The other guests went a bright red. "Of course!" They squealed.

Gema nodded and went to stand. Mori grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his lap before he could make it very far. Gema frowned up at Mori.

"I have to go set up my table. I have some guests soon." He said while squirming to getaway.

"No." Was all Mori said before burying his face in the crook of Gema's neck.

The guests watched with wide eyes and red cheeks. They hadn't expected Mori to be close to someone other than Honey like the rumors said. Little did they realize that they would soon be joining the little fan club for Mori and Gema shippers. They were currently at war with the Kyoya and Gema shippers.

"Oh! Haruhi! Gema! Let me tell your animal fortune! Are you a bunny? Or maybe a bird!" Tamaki called out. Recently, he has been getting better with the whole father thing.

"I don't really care about that," Haruhi said.

"I can't really move," Gema replied.

"I'll make it quick!" Tamaki pleaded.

Haruhi sighed before pulling up a chair. She looked over to Gema to see him a little busy with Mori clutching him. She sent him a smirk which lead to him flipping her the bird when no one was looking.

"Huh? Why are you sitting so far away?" Tamaki asked as he realized Haruhi had sat a good few feet away from him.

"I'm just being safe." She stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

In all fairness, it was because the last time Tamaki had asked for something, she ended up falling and skidding her knee. It had been because Tamaki had kicked the leg of her chair and it toppled for some unknown reason.

"What should I do? How do I get Haruhi to sit closer to me? I know! I'll see the answer by cartomancy!" He yelled.

Gema smiled as he saw Nekozawa coming up behind him. The Black Magic Club must have something they want to come here. It's that or he just wanted to mess with Tamaki again. Either or, Gema was fine with it.
