All of us, except the twins, were sitting at a table in desperation. "Looking at the numbers... If the situation doesn't resolve, I'm afraid we're going to have to stop offering our brotherly love package. We're down one pair of loving brothers." Kyoya said.

"Easy solution. Dany becomes a host." Haruhi said. "No." I immediately said. "What? Why not?" Tamaki asked. "Simple. No one wants a host that looks like a raccoon dog, do they?" I said, then got up and his myself in the bathroom.

So by the next day, regardless of my protests, they made me a host. Breanna talked to me the whole time as the other hosts tried to get Kaoru and Hikaru to make up. Even after club hours, they were still fighting.

"Don't you guys think that maybe you should stop all this fighting? It's driving me insane!" Tamaki said. "What'd you say? It's driving you insane?! You've gotta be kidding me! How do you think I feel right now! I'm sick and tired of being mistaken for you, Kaoru! I hate your guts!" Hikaru shouted.

"You took the words right out of my mouth. In fact, I hate you so much I bought this! Belzaneff the curse doll!" Kaoru said.

Haruhi stepped in and stopped them, forcing them to make up.

"Hugs all around! C'mon, Dany!" Hikaru tried to hug me. "Don't touch me." I stepped away from him. "What? Why? You let Kaoru touch you!" He said. "Cos Kaoru didn't call me a raccoon dog!" I snapped and he stopped. "Oh."

"Oh's right! I tried not to let it get to me, then I was made a host and the only fucking person who talked to me today was my friend, Breanna! So thank you, Hikaru, for lowering my self-esteem!" I said and marched out, grabbing my bag from Kyoya, and taking the bottle out, drinking as I walked out.

I got home and immediately got a call from Kaoru. "Hello?" I answered. "Hey, you mind if we talk?" He said softly. "Sure. What's up?" I asked. "It's Hikaru. Ever since you yelled at him, he's been beating himself up over it." He said. "Nonsense. It hasn't even been two hours yet." I scoffed. "And I'm not apologising." I huffed.

"No! I know. You don't have to apologise. He just wants you to know that he didn't mean it." Kaoru said. "I don't care if he didn't mean it or not! You don't say something like that to or about a person!" I said.

"I know, he was wrong there. Listen, you sound pretty upset. I'll be at your house in thirty minutes with chocolate." He said. "Kaoru. No, you don't have to." I started. "I'm going to, no changing my mind, okay? See you in a bit." He said and hung up.

In exactly thirty minutes, there was a knock on my door and I opened it in my regular crop top and sweatpants to see Kaoru with a bag in his hand. "I brought chocolate. He said and I smiled and let him in.

I closed the door and Kaoru turned me and held my face in his hands. "You've been crying." He said and my eyes watered again. "Well yeah! Girls kinda do that when we're told we're ugly!" I said, crying again. Kaoru hugged me. "My brother is a jerk. I'm so sorry." He said, and moved me to sit on the couch.

"Rant to me all you want, I'm listening." He said, opening the bag and pouring out little boxes filled with chocolate, some chocolate syrup, chocolate whip cream, and chocolate ice cream. I grabbed the ice cream and two spoons. "I can't. I want to, but I can't." I sighed. "And why not?" Kaoru asked, and I took the whipped cream and shot some in my mouth. "Haruhi told me that you two dropped hints about Hikaru liking me. I don't know or care if that's true or not, and I certainly don't care now, but why would you even say that to a girl anyways?!" I cried, Kaoru rubbing my back.

"I work hard on my makeup everyday cos I'm so scared someone will see my face and comment on it. Then he goes and tells me I'm ugly while I wear makeup...!" I managed to get out. "I'm sure you don't need makeup anyway." Kaoru said. "I do..." I said. "And that's not even the bad thing. That bad thing is... It's not that I don't think I'm pretty. It's cos my mom taught me how to do makeup when I was nine. She said I have to wear it or else I'll never get a husband, my life will be a failure, and... And she'd disown me for being an ugly girl." I set the pint down and cried.

"Dany... I'm so sorry." He said, hugging me as I cried into his chest. "Kaoru, you're the best. Thank you." I smiled up at him, kissing his cheek. "Anytime." He grinned.

We soon fell asleep, Courtney not giving any shits as she walked in to go to bed.
