Lights, Camera, Crashing

The next day approached much faster than I would have liked. Surprisingly we all arrived at the same time to host the club today, discussing the unfortunate forceful changes. "I thought about it a lot last night, and maybe having a lady manager isn't such a bad idea." Tamaki told us, while confusion spread.  "Why do you say that?" The twins asked, curious to find any good that could come from our new member. The conversation shifted onto Haruhi's feminine side coming to the surface, however I was uninterested in whatever nonsense the king had now. Feelings of overwhelming and insecurities made itself known. Something just didn't feel right. My walking pace slowed which caught the attention of the Shadow King and two others. "Is everything okay? You seem a little off." Kyoya asked worriedly. "Lee-chan you're not sick are you?" Honey asked while Mori tried to examine my facial expression. Honey's questions caught the others' attention. "Wait, Lena you're sick?" Hikaru questioned while the others waited for an answer. I conjured up the best fake smile I could before dismissing their thoughts. "Guys, I'm fine, just a little tired is all." I told the hosts, which allowed them to resume back to their fanatics as we have now reached the club room.

"Now that the attention is off of you, what is really wrong?" Kyoya asked quietly so only me and him could hear. My fake smile dropped as we reached the desk. I put my head down bracing myself for the conversation because I knew he wouldn't leave me alone about this. "Same thing as yesterday." I told him, a few moments passed as the boy recalled the conversations of yesterday. "That feeling hasn't gone away?" Kyoya asked as a way to verify the topic. I gently shook my head before speaking, "No, I think it has actually gotten worse. Because now I feel a little nauseous." I told him, a small hmm resonated. "Do you think-" Before Kyoya could finish whatever he was about to say, our lady manager arrived. "Hey everyone!" She yelled out. "You'll be happy to know that your new manager, Renge, has baked all of you some cookies." She told everyone. Tamaki began to twirl up beside her, happy at her attitude. "Isn't she lady like? I'm so moved by your generosity." Tamaki told the girl, while he began daydreaming.

"I didn't bake these cookies for you, you phony prince." Renge yelled while smacking Tamaki in the face, knocking him out momentarily. "You just got K. O." Kaoru spoke while him and his twin began poking Tamaki's face to try and reawaken him. I lifted my head, unaware of the events taking place. "You got Kyoya Ootoried?" I questioned before everyone began to look my way. "No! K. O. means knocked out." Hikaru informed me while he began laughing with his twin."Oh. My bad. But on an unrelated note, who wouldn't want to get Kyoya Ootoried?" I asked nobody in particular as Kyoya's face began to turn a light pink color. "See Lena gets it!" Renge said happy to have someone take notice of the boy. "What do you mean by that?" Haruhi asked innocently. "If you don't know then never mind." The twins told the female before walking away.

Honey was the first one to try the cookies. "She wasn't kidding, these cookies really are burnt." Hikaru informed everyone as Mori came up behind Honey, taking the cookie out of his hands and placing it away from him. Honey gave Mori a questionable look. "Don't eat that Mitsukuni, it's bad for you." He told the boy. Without a second to spare, Renge turns into a realistically Medusa version of herself before beginning to start chasing them around the room. While Mori picked up Honey and ran from her. "She's scaring me!" Honey cried out as the other hosts paid no attention.

I walked over to where all the commotion was before taking a seat next to Haruhi. Haruhi glanced at the bag of cookies before giving me a pleading look to also try them. "If we die, I blame you." I told the girl before we both took a small bite. "They're not that bad at all, they've got a good flavor to them." Haruhi told the twins before they looked between each other and started to smirk. Hikaru lifted a cookie up to my mouth copying his brother's fanatics with Haruhi. Hikaru then took a small bite from the other side of the cookie before gently licking off crumbs from the side of my face. "Ugh, please don't ever do that again." I told the boy as Tamaki started to shout and glare at the shady twins. "Did you see what they just did?" The blonde yelled. "What are they doing? I told you those shady twins can't be trusted! They're trying to seduce them!" Tamaki yelled once again but this time in Kyoya's face.
