This day was the day the Host Club was hosting a flower viewing event.  It was set out-doors as you'd expect, where tables were set out with different kinds of tea sets.  It was lucky for us that no fowl weather there to ruin the occasion.  That and I don't want to think about the expenses of having to reschedule and plan something else last minute, especially if Kyoya isn't in a good mood from all the trouble.

The members were dressed differently, some were in butler uniforms such as Tamaki, Kyoya, Hikaru, Kaoru, and me.  Haruhi, Mori and Honey wore formal Japanese clothes.

"Welcome ladies.", the host club welcome their guests into the flower viewing reception.

"My princess, which cup would you like your tea in?  This Foley cup? This Worcester one? Or this Susie's Gardenia?", Tamaki.  "They're lovely. These are British antiques, right?  What type do you like, Tamaki?", Shiori asks in response.  "Which one?  Well none of these compared to my princess.", Tamaki takes Shiori's hand and answers.  "Oh, wow.  I really don't know what to say...", Shiori is swooned by that line instantly.

"You mean you've never been to Covent Garden?", Kaoru.  "No, all of our antiques are from Portobello Road.", Hina.  "I think you'd like Covent Garden, most of our Victorian pieces are from there.", Hikaru.  An accident of a spilled tea cup ends up burning Kaoru's finger.  "Kaoru.", Hikaru is the first to respond by healing the burn with his lips.  The girls was intensely.  "Honestly Kaoru, you have to be more careful.  From now on, keep your eyes on me, okay?", Hikaru.  "Yes, Hikaru.", Kaoru.  "Ahh, I can't take it anymore! It's too beautiful!", Kozue.  "That's such a waste! You should take it in carefully! This is a very important scene!", Hina.

"You're absolutely right, mademoiselle.  All beauty is fleeting, just take a look at these cherry blossoms, you'll never be able to see them this vibrant again.  And that's why I've compiled this picture book that contains photos that capture the beauty of each passing day.  Incidentally, I've prepared similar books of the other hosts as well and if you ladies are interested in collecting all four of them.  I'll discount the full set for you.", Kyoya.  "I'll take them.", Kozue.  "Me too, please.", Hina.

"Well now we know how the club makes extra money.", the Hitachiin twins.  "But I have to wonder.", Hikaru.  "When did he take pictures of us?", Kaoru.

*(!) I overhear what's going on a bit over on the twins side.  As much as it doesn't bother me much, it also just gives me a weird feeling as being one of the focuses of a photo book... (!)*

"So Kyousuke, what do you think of the cherry blossoms this year?", the girl at the table I was serving brought back my attention.  "Well, there lovely this year of course.  I just hope this tea goes well with the view of the cherry blossoms.", I then look to the flowing cherry blossom petals making their way down to the ground.  I could sense the girls swooning without having to look at them.  But there's another reason I look to the side....

Lately, I'm still having trouble talking to the ladies without fidgeting so much.  Yes, it's part of the shy type thing, but I don't want to mess up in the future if this keeps up.  So I had no other choice but to rely on... my brother.  Since the party, considering how many girls I had to dance with, it overwhelmed my nerves the more girls I danced with.  Telling my brother this, we've practiced lines after club activities trying to gain more confidence within me.  I could've practiced with the host club, but I fear that would make my nerves go over the top to say these lines or even hearing them say these lines to me.

But in the last couple of days, it's been getting better.  My brother, however, did give me advice if it still continues.

*(!) If your still nervous saying some lines, just look up with your gaze somewhere else and have a sincere smile.  It'll give you a chance to relax without looking at them, and it'll make it seem your shy but charming with confidence. (!)*
