The Cool Type

The Lady Manager

"Tamaki, why are you so beautiful?" A girl asks our host club president. "because I want to be pleasing to your eyes." He cooed. "Why is your voice so mellow?""So that my voice can touch your heart." He said. "Why do you always look at me with tearful eyes?" "Because your smile overflows the springs of my heart." He cooed as tears flowed down his eyes. "Dramatic." I grumbled. I looked over playing with the ends of my hair. "Reina do you mind singing for us again?" one of my guests (I learned soon her name was Yuki) asked. I smiled at her warily. "I don't know Yuki-" "Oh please?" Yuki's friend, Aimi asked. I smiled at them, they were too sweet. "Fine." I said. Only because you asked so nicely." I said. I picked up one of the guitars and decided on a song from the US, they seemed to be a hit whenever I sang them here. "Hey god it's me; I hate to be a bother bight I could use a minute or two." I started.

(Kyoya's POV)

"If you've got a little love left in your back pocket. Rain it down like pennies in this wishing well of tears. I know that you're busy but if you can hear me talking: We could us a little more heaven down here. We could use a little more, heaven down here." I listened to Reina's melodic voice sing to her regular guests: Yuki and Aimi. I enjoyed her presence and listening to her vocals. "Hey kyoya-senpai...why do we always find you staring at Reina-senpai?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked from behind me. "Her voice is enticing, it's hard NOT to stare." I answered simply. 'Why would I ever let them know I may have...what does Reina say...caught feelings for her? It would be humiliating!' I thought to myself as she continued the song. She talked about this artist before, and this is the only song I've heard her perform by this one. "We could use a little more heaven down here. We could use, we could use, we could use a little more heaven. We could use, we could use, we could use a little more heaven." She finished. The girls clapped. She bowed.

The guests went back to their usual conversations. Hikaru and Kaoru began their usual set of emotions tearing up for each other.

(Reina's POV)

I noticed Kyoya observing me. He totally caught feelings but like we said...he could never be seen with me...a commoner. We decided to keep whatever it is we have underwraps for now. "Haru-chan! Reina-Chan!" I heard Honey-senpai's weepy voice. Odd...he was fine minutes ago. What the hell is with these crocodile tears? "I lost one of my sandals." He cried. "You were just wearing them a while ago weren't you?" Haruhi asked. "I'd have to agree love, I don't remember seeing you take them off." I said sympathetically. "Mitskuni." Mori-senpai's deep voice rumbled he came and placed the sandal on Honey-senpai's foot. "Takashi." Honey responded. "It was lying over there." Mori explained. "Takashi!" Honey said giving him a tight hug. The girls went wild. "How is it that everyone can get so weepy so easily?" Haruhi asked. "So I'm not going crazy." I said.

     Haruhi nodded only to bump directly into Hikaru, and a small bottle of eyedrops fell to the floor. I picked it up and we looked from the bottle back to Hikaru. "This?" We asked. "I should let you know, it's a common practice for a host. There isn't a girl who hasn't swooned over moist eyes!" Hikaru and Kaoru said. "First of all: don't say the word moist...it's uncomfortable." I said. "secondly: THAT'S CHEATING!" Haruhi and I said. "Don't be so rigid." Hikaru said poking Haruhi's cheek. I sighed. "Reina, Haruhi. These are for you." Kyoya said giving us a glass confectionary item. I pursed my lips. "We can have these?" Haruhi and I asked. "Do you like confections?" Yuki asked me. "I do, but I might just give it as an offering to my daddy." I said with a sad smile. "He loved sweets so much. Baking with him was always a fun thing." I said. Haruhi must've said a similar thing about her mother, but Tamaki wasted no time coming towards us both. "How admirable of you both! Such devotion to your parents! Here take as much as you like." Tamaki said handing us more and more confections, tears streaming down his face. "Tamaki are those more eye-drop crocodile tears?" I asked, slightly annoyed with his overbearing and uncomfortable invasion of my personal space. 

       "How can you say that Reina? My tears are always genuine! Being able to cry without the use of eyedrops marks a true host." He said to me. "Uh huh how about I give you something to cry about if you won't get  out of my personal space." I said and he gulped. "Well haruhi, are you impressed? Have you fallen for me anew?" Tamaki asked her. "And, Reina what about you?" He asked. "Not really." Haruhi answered flatly. "Not likely or ever." I answered just as flatly. "My overtures don't reach you ladies? Perhaps I should alter my character somewhat." Tamaki said. "Blow me Suoh." I mumbled inaudibly. Haruhi rolled her eyes but looked past him. She tapped me and I looked ahead to. A girl we'd never seen before was peeking through the clubroom door. "Huh? We have a brand new guest!" The twins exclaimed. "What are you waiting for? Come on in!" Hikaru encouraged. I shuffled over to Kyoya. "You know everything. Do you know her?" I asked him. "Not a chance. You?" "I know everyone but she's a really new face." I answered back. "It isn't any fun to watch." Kaoru joined his brother. "Boys, don't crowd her. She might be shy." I advised and they seemed to back away as the new girl looked on. "Precisely Reina! I'm always telling you to be more courteous to our first time guests, aren't I?" Tamaki piggybacked off my words. "He just doesn't know when to quit!" I muttered. "Now mademoiselle." Kyoya said placing a hand on the small of my back. I took a deep breath. "I hate that affect you have on me!" I told him and he chuckled in response. 

        "NO! DON'T TOUCH ME YOU PHONY!" I heard a loud yell come from the new girl. Tamaki jumped back as she slapped him away. "Oh my stars!" I said shocked. All of us were shocked. "I'm...a phony?" Tamaki said. "Yes you are a phony! I can't believe you are the prince figure of this host club! The princely character doesn't go around spreading his love so readily how can you be so stupid?! It's almost like you're some dim witted narcissist!" She ripped Tamaki a new one. "Incompetent! Mediocre! The pits!" She screamed. Every word seemed to hit Tamaki as he literally fell in slow motion. "Oh it's a new technique! One-man slow motion!" kaoru observed. "Who is this bitch?" I muttered quietly, but feeling Kyoya's eyes I cleared my throat. "Kyoya! I've waited for you! My prince!" this girl said. "Who the-" "Excuse me! but I'm his fiance!" She sneered at me and I looked at her. "Watch your tone with me or so help me heads will roll." I spat back. "And you must be the "Lady like" Host? Sad." She said. "Kyoya?" I said my tone ice cold all though he was unphased. "Explain." I said. "I have no idea." He whispered to me. "Did she say Fiance?" Hikaru asked me. "Kyoya-senpai's?" Kaoru added. "Yes! My name is Renge Hoshakuji. I will be a first year in Class A starting tomorrow." She cheerfully said. I sighed and looked at Tamaki. "He looks mad." Hikaru said. "That's because mommy was hiding something from daddy." Kaoru answered. "Why do you insist on referring to us as husband and wife?" Kyoya groaned out in disgust. "Easy dark lord." I said flatly. He smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. Renge then pushed me out the way. If Mori senpai wasn't behind me I would've attacked. "It is indeed love at first sight. The way you kindly reached out and touched that kitty." Renge gushed. "Who?" I asked in disbelief. "Who are you talking about the twins asked. "Could you have the wrong person?"Haruhi asked. "My same question!" I added. "No! You can't fool these eyes! He is someone who is kind to everyone and yet does not seek in anyone to take notice of him! He loves solitude but is actually lonely." She explained. Definitely the wrong dude, Kyoya as much as I adore him and what we have: he revels in chaos and has the most bitch ass tendencies so who is she talking about?  "He's part of the simulator: Uki-doki memorial. Ichijo Miyabi. And that's you!" Renge finished pointing to Kyoya. 

   "Who?" Haruhi asked. "Wait...that's a video game." "SHE'S AN OTAKU!" Hikaru, Kaoru, and I exclaimed. "I see now; you're infatuated with a character. You're projecting the character infatuation onto me, going so far to convince yourself that we're engaged. This Miyabi character also wears glasses, right?" He asked. I looked it up and adjusted my own. "Yep... a spitting image except with more brighter skin and kinder eyes." I said. He rolled his eyes playfully at me as I laughed. "Whoa...deluded huh? Then the story of her being your fiance is." "Absolute bull." I finished for Tamaki. "I've never met this young lady until today." He said to me. "Kyoya, according to my information I understand the fact that you administer everything to this club." Renge said pulling him to sit down next to her. I sat on his other side. "That's right! Kyo-chan is our director." Honey confirmed. "The director? That's perfect! I've always imagined being the drawing card to someone's business." Renge said dreamily. "We don't need one. We're a host club after all." The twins said. "A high school Host Club." I added. "I've made up my mind. I'm going to be this club's manager!" She declared. "Key Kyoya." Tamaki started. "She's a daughter to a client that's important to the Ootori family; I ask that you are sure nothing but polite." He said and then looked at me. I sighed and looked at him. "Of course darling." I said with a bit of ice in my tone. "Everyone it's going to be a pleasure!" Renge smiled.
