The Overflow

Chapter 7

Fake It Till You Make It

The host club is now open for business. Catching the attention of all the ladies around the school. Endless chatter filled the air as each host performed and entertained their guests. However today's scenery was much different than the other typical days, as the host club was set up in the host club but to look as if we were outside once again. The host club went on with dramatic scenes and occasional teary eyes from the hosts. The host club king Tamaki seemed to be the most dramatic of them all.

"Oh Tamaki, my dearest Tamaki, why are you so beautiful?" A guest called out, wishing to gain the boy's attention, which happened to work. Tamaki turned around, staring into the guest's eyes before responding flirtatiously. "I'm hoping to catch your eye, even for just one second." Tamaki replied before another guest called out to him. "And why is your voice so very sweet and mellow?" The girl asked. Tamaki's smile widened even more before responding. "To set your nerves at ease, so that my true feeling might reach your heart." Tears began to build up in his eyes. "Why are your eyes filled with tears every time you look at me?" A girl called out to Tamaki, gentle tears flooded his vision. "Because the sight of your beautiful smile causes the fountain inside me to start overflowing." Tamaki concluded by letting a few tears fall. The guest he acquired started to blush while trying to control their ever beating heart.

Not much farther away the twins stood with their guest being a little less dramatic than Tamaki but way more mischievous. "I think it's adorable that you're wearing matching kimonos!" A guest called out bringing the attention onto the blue and orange fabric that littered their bodies. "Our mother designed everything the hosts are wearing today. If you see something you like, we can take an order for you." Hikaru told the guest, trying to promote his family business. "Our grandmother even helped us put them on." Kaoru added on before Hikaru took the action of grabbing and holding his brother's chin. "But you know the only one who will be undressing you is me, Kaoru." Hikaru told his brother as their act of brotherly love continued with occasional tears.

Haruhi looked unimpressed with the displays of each host member. As we made our way back to the Shadow king's hiding area. Once Kyoya took notice of our presence, he began to double check the scheduling for the club. "Haruhi, you've booked another appointment. It seems you've had a pretty steady flow of new customers lately. Keep up the good work. I'm not going to charge you interest on your debt like I normally would, so keep this up and you should be able to pay it off." Kyoya stated before looking at a scroll. Haruhi looked happy for a brief moment, before I leaned closer and whispered in her ear. "Just wait for it." I whispered to the female before receiving a puzzling look. "Although the rental fee on that kimono you're wearing is nothing to sneeze at." Kyoya informed the girl, giving a closed eye smile. Haruhi's face displayed a deadpan look before mumbling. "So that's what you meant." I gave the girl a small smile before guests began to approach our area.

"Hello Kyoya. I can't get over how great you look in that kimono. Are you planning to release any more picture books of the host club?" The guest asked. "Unfortunately we don't have anything planned at present ladies." Kyoya informed the girls before going back to his casual work. The twins must have overheard the conversation because next thing we knew, both Hikaru and Kaoru popped up over the wall. "But doesn't the club make a lot of money?" Hikaru asked before his twin followed up. "From the sale of promotional items?" Kaoru asked. Kyoya seemed preoccupied with the calculations of the budget. "That's true but most of the items are poor quality." I told the twins. Nods of understanding began to showcase before the Shadow King gave more information on the subject at hand. "Those photo books were full of nothing but amateur hidden camera shots. However, if we wanna create some higher quality money making products, I'm afraid we'd have to drop money from the school's budget." Kyoya concluded while pushing up his glasses. "That's out of the question." I warned the hosts while giving them a stern look. The twins gently lowered their heads back under the line of view and Kyoya went back to his computer.
