Ouran Host Club Hostess (DISCONTINUED)

Of Cats and Princes

It had been a bad idea to gorge myself on an entire box of white chocolate in the space of two hours, but it had been worth it. At least, to me. I'd shared some with Haruhi, but her appetite wasn't up to par with mine. She didn't feel the same way about sweet things as I did.

The long weekend ended, and I spent a lot of it trying to think of ways to repay the twins for the gift. I could bake them a cake, but I wasn't sure what kind of cake they would like. I wasn't rich enough to buy them presents. In the end, I decided to wait until I saw them and ask what they wanted. However, I had forgotten how affectionate chocolate made me act.

"Hikaru, Kaoru!" I ran at them and hugged them tightly around their waists with all the love and affection in my heart.

"Huh? - gack!" The twins staggered backwards and stared down at me in shock. "Uh...Kyoko?"

"Not that we aren't happy to see you..." Hikaru started.

"...but you usually aren't this affectionate," Kaoru finished.

That was true. But I was really happy right now. Chocolate did that to me. I pulled away, and ran a hand through my hair sheepishly. "I know...but I wanted to say thank you for the chocolates," I lowered my hand and twisted my fingers together. "It was really sweet of you and...I wanted you to know that I'll find some way to pay you guys back."

They both frowned down at me as though they weren't pleased with my words. "We don't need you to do that," Hikaru folded his arms across his chest. "We bought it for you because we like you."

"You're our friend," Kaoru told me sternly. "You don't need to pay us for gifts. We want to make you happy."

They were upset. I hadn't meant to upset them. "I didn't mean it like that," I waved my hands quickly. "It's just...you guys made me happy, so I want to make you happy. I'm just really grateful! didn't mean to upset you."

Their faces softened, and then Hikaru smirked. "Well..." Hikaru began. "If you want to repay us, you could do it with a ki-!"

Kaoru suddenly leaned over and began whispering in his ear. I watched Hikaru's facial expression for a hint of what was being said. First he looked annoyed, then mildly surprised, and then finally he grinned widely. That grin made me very suspicious of what had just been discussed.

They both turned to me with matching smiles. "Change of plan," Kaoru said. "If you want to repay us, then we want you to spend the whole of next Saturday with us."

The whole day? I stared up at them with wide, slightly surprised, mostly curious eyes. "Why the whole day?" I asked. "Don't we see each other enough?"

Hikaru leaned closer to me, and brushed a finger over my cheek. "Don't you remember what I told you when you came to our house?" He reminded me. "We're selfish creatures. Sometimes, we don't want to have to share you with anyone else."

I blushed at the way he said it, and the way they both stared down at me. I did remember him saying that, didn't I? I thought about the prospect for a second. It wasn't like I didn't like the twins, and I was relatively sure that I had nothing to do next Saturday other than laze around at home, study and watch some long-winded soap with uncle Ryouji.

After considering it, I decided to agree. "Okay," I smiled up at them. "Next Saturday, I'm all yours!"

Their eyes lit up, and they both leaned closer to me. "Really, Kyoko?"

I sweatdropped and shoved their faces away. "Not in that way, you perverts! Now, shouldn't we be heading to class? You guys are going to make us late!"

Unknown POV

"Did you guys hear that?" Three pairs of eyes watched the trio disappear down the halls. "They're going on a date next Saturday!" The girl let loose a very fangirl-ish scream. "My OTP may finally be coming true!"
