"So forget about quitting and come back to the club,"
A man with glasses put his hands on the boy's arms.

"If you play piano, you're sure to be popular with all the ladies,"
He continued.

"Sir, you need to take your hands off that child right now,"
You spoke out, approaching him with a glare.

He backed away slightly,
"I-It's not what it looks like, I swear!"
He cried out before running off.

"Little boy, are you alright? Did that man try anything?"
You knelt down to the child's level to assess for damage.

He just looked at you with a shocked expression,
"That was my piano instructor,"

You scoffed,
"It's always the piano instructors..."

He shook his head with a confused expression,
"What? No he's not one of those creeps, he just looks like that,"

He watched your expression shift with slight nervousness,
"So I just accused a regular teacher of..."

The child nodded, and you sighed.
"To be fair, you can never be too safe. Anyways, if you're fine, then everything's great!"

You pulled a candy out from one of your pockets,
"Here, a candy for your troubles,"

He stared at the treat you placed in his hand, then back up at you.

"Do you not like that flavor? Do you want sour watermelon instead? If you really like blue raspberry, I guess I could give you some from my reserves,"

The boy politely shook his head, still just a little shocked at the events leading up to this. The biggest question he had was: who the hell were you?! You seemed to be a high schooler from the south building, but the way you acted made it obvious you didn't come from money.

Still, you were kind enough, and he did always want to find out what poor people candy tasted like.

He unwrapped the sweet treat and popped it in his mouth, his lips curling up into a forced smile as all the artificial sugars and flavoring lit up his tastebuds.

You chuckled,
"Good, right?"

You placed another candy in his hands,
"Another one for your troubles. Tell your teacher I said sorry okay?"

You stood up and looked around,
"I just gotta find out where I'm supposed to go now. I can't believe I got lost!"

You walked away from the young child who stashed the candy in his pocket. Maybe, just maybe, his crush would enjoy it. That was if he'd be able to give it to her.

"Welcome to the Ouran Host Club!"
You could hear the other ghosts greeting a new guest.

Currently you were occupied with preparing the tea stockpile for later use, so you'd have to miss out on the initial greeting, but that was fine with you.

From what you heard, it seemed like an elementary schooler had entered the room, and unintentionally boosted Tamaki's ego.

"I want the host club king to take me on as an apprentice!"
You heard the young voice exclaim.
