Something Sweet

Ch. 10: A Maid's Day With Her Guests

This summer vacation, I had nothing to do so I asked Haruhi if she wanted to hang out and found out she was gonna work at a bed and breakfast in Karuizawa. I decided to join her and she gladly let me and the owner said it was fine since I insisted on working for free.

After dealing with the rooms upstairs, I saw the Host Club outside on the patio and so I came with a tray of drinks. "Hey." I say coming out.

"Y-Yuuto!?" They all yell. I was in a maid's uniform and my hair was cut to my shoulders neatly.

"You're here too!?" Tamaki yells.

"Yes, I didn't have much to do this summer." I say, handing everyone their drinks.

"But you cut your hair." The twins says.

"Does it look bad? Rumi wanted to cut it since it got too long. My vitamins make my hair grow fast so my hair will be back to normal again by the start of school." I explain.

"No, it looks nice." Karou says.

"Edgy, it suits you." Hikaru says making me give a small smile as I handed him a drink.

"You look so cute with your new hair and the maid dress!" Honey says taking my hands and spinning us.

"Yes, adorable and refreshing! Haruhi didn't want to wear one but after Yuuto-chan saw how upset I was, and she offered to wear it." Susuzu, the owner, comes out flittering about.

"Wait... I called you and you didn't answer!" Tamaki accuses.

"Yeah, we wanted to invite you to Fiji." The twins say.

"I wanted to go to Switzerland!" Honey adds.

"We went out to a resort for a few days." Kyoya shrugs plainly, although this earns yells and looks.

"Well, my father kept calling me on my phone because he wanted me to work so I turned my phone off. Kyoya called Gary so we were able to make plans. I didn't have much plans since Rumi and her family were traveling so I decided to come with Haruhi to the pension." I explain and they nod understandingly.

"But you went to a resort, alone with a boy!?" Tamaki yells.

"It was vary relaxing." Kyoya says, pushing up his glasses.

"We had some fun." I add with a shrug.

"Yuuto-chan, I believe your cakes and other sweets have finished. Please go put them out, they're gorgeous!" Susuzu cries and I nod.

"Vary well." I nod, taking my metal tray and walking away.

Somehow after much loud accusations outside, a battle to be refreshing had started to get the last room available so they could stay and be served by me and Haruhi even though I'm sure they had their own cottages nearby.

Kyoya had taken a liking to the fresh red berry juice so I came to pour him more. "This job seems to suit you." He observes.

"I suppose I like taking care of others. Most would see it as a character flaw." I say but he smirks.

"To an extent although you don't seem to be so naive as to let yourself be overused." He says and I nod, looking out to where Mori was cutting wood. "Care to bet on who wins?" He asks and I give him a small smirk.

"You say yours first." I say and he pushes up his glasses.

"Although Tamaki only has refreshing looks and is overworking himself because of this contest, if he was given some guidance he would win. I bet a day off from the Host Club."

"Yes, but the twins are vary devious and manipulative. I bet a day off from the Host Club as well that the twins win. If I win, we both take one." I say, knowing Mori would only follow Honey around but Honey was more cute than refreshing. We shake hands and I notice Haruhi twitching.
