"I love pocky."
Sip.
Gulp
"I love tea."
Munch.
"I love-"
"You love pocky and tea, right? We all got it."
"...food."
"..."
"..."
"How was I supposed to now?! You were chanting 'I love pocky' and 'I love tea' for the past twenty minutes during our break! You had an unreadable expression the entire time as well, which made your chanting even creepier. Just...shush Maru! Study or something!"
"...cringy Haru."
.......
Maru POV
I flung my legs up to rest on the armrest, watching Haru study for our english class test we are to have tomorrow. I took a quick glance over the notes Haru took during our teacher's lecture, but not one word was foreign to me. I sighed in frustration. After the 'Kirimi' incident, I looked through around thirty books in the public library about childcare. There's not a thing I don't know right now...but I wonder, if I stayed long enough, will there be things I never knew about before?"Maru!"
I flinched at Haru's half-shout.
"Ah, sorry Haru, did you ask something?"
"Sigh. Yes. Can you help me translate this sentence?"
'My house has been renovated.'(** These will be when any character is speaking english.)
"So, this sentence, **my house is being renovated** basically is, 'watashinoie wa kaiso sa rete masu,' translated. It would be considered as past tense."
"Wow, you're good Maru, but I guess it is to be suspected."
I shrugged. My parents had a British english teacher, and a english teacher from America fly over to our house when I was little just to teach me the language, the teacher from America knew seven languages, so he stayed for two months I think...one month and two weeks more than the British teacher since I learned the language by that time.
Man, did I have trouble with grammer."Ah, also this one."
............
By the time Haru was able to do the rest left on her own, a crowd has gathered around our seats. Most were the customers of the hosts...the hosts as well at the front of the crowd behind Haru and I."KYA! MARU-KUN! TUTOR ME!"
Emergency emergency. Act Maru, act! You were trained for situations like this- except it was from paparazzi and not...man-tearing teenage fangirls.
I pull my signature closed eyed smile toward the crowd, praying that that random background with those fluttery chicken feathers or something appeared."I'm sorry angels~"
I grabbed Haru's head and hugged her close to my chest protectively like a 'guardian angel.'
I'm so sorry Haruhi Fujioka. I will repay you.
"But I belong to Haru, and only Haru. her every wish is my command to fulfill~ Only for Haru will I show my secrets~""KYAAAA!!!"
Like magic, they're out. Maybe it's because I look hot as a guy??? I'm not sure, but this is one of the talents I, the 'prodigy child' am creeped out about. I believe I am labeled as one of the 'Mary Sue's' in stories. The only difference is that I'm real.
Haru leaned away from me, back to her worksheets in front of her.
"Take responsibility Maru. I called the last time."
Sigh. Poor nurse, we have to call her, at the very least, three times a week- when it's serious.
Riiiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggg. Riiiiiiiiiii-
"This is room 03 head office for the nurse! What is the emergency?"
I chuckled embarrassingly.
"It's the host club again..."
"...ah, I see. How many did your angelic type send to heaven this time?"
"Ahaha...the angelic one sent about...I'm estimating nineteen."
"At least that's improvement from yesterday! What was it...26?"
I scratched the back of my head.
"...28."
"...we'll arrive shortly."
I hanged up, smacking my face into the wall, careful as to not let the surviving customers see. I felt my contact about to pop out of my right eye, but I was quick enough to slap my hand over it.
"Wa! Maru-kun, are you okay?"
I glance around the room to see everyone's concerned gaze- my 'friends' just had this weirded out expression.
I cutely blushed back, trying to tone down my charm while I spoke.
"Ah, it's nothing, I just thought a fly landed on me, that's all~ Continue your time angels~"
I let out a breath of relief after they bought it, returning back to their conversation with their favorite hosts.
I walked back over to my spot across from Haru, grabbing the box of open pocky off the glass table between us. She was staring at me as I ate, her gaze practically screaming 'that was a close one you numb-skull.'
We had a small conversation using telecommunication for a bit before Haru left my area to greet her next appointment who were patiently waiting for her. I sighed, going into the back room to grab my bag, pulling out Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare that our teacher gave us. The sad thing was that they simplified the story so much, it's become uninteresting for me...I guess once I find to most obvious mistakes it will become amusing for me to read...a well.
I went back, flopping down onto the couch, scanning my eyes down the page.
I got bored.
There is nothing interesting about this choice of literature. I've already read all sorts of versions in my short life so far, and this one just bores me.
Having no choice, I start secretly stalking the hosts. Discreetly gazing my eyes over the rim of the couch- crap. Ootori already caught my gaze. He pushes his glasses up, still keeping our stare down. I think he's cheating. No one can see behind his glasses when they gleam. I awkwardly wave before returning back to my mission- of the utmost certainty, I did not dare check to see Satan's reaction.
Hitachiin twin's were doing the usual...twincest...yaoi...ooh, Tamaki is attempting some of my tricks...ouch, he messed up on that one. Try covering that one up you womanizer...ah, sweet, dear, cousin Haru, always so perfectly innocent...huh.
I stared at Honey's and Mori's table for awhile. Honey seemed to be eating an extra amount sweets today, and Mori...he seems extra worried. I listened as much as I could in their conversation from where I was stationed, since it looked like Honey was also struggling a bit with something.
Haru suddenly came into view of my sights, and I saw she was done with her customer's appointment and was heading over to their area. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here is where the drama happens."Honey, if you eat that many sweets you'll get cavities."
"It's okay Haru-chan! I always brush my teeth! Nom no-"
Ok. Pause there for a second. When the scene closes in on a particular character, you know the episode's gonna be about that character.
And there's always a person who jinx the star if the show.
Maru presses play.
"-m, ow!"
I flinched. The sound echoed throughout the room, every movement stopping just to watch Honey.
"Are you okay, Honey?"
"Ah! It's okay, Haru-chan! I'm fine-"
Like a tsunami, Mori was already pinning Honey down, forcefully opening his mouth to inspect the teeth inside.
"KYAAA!"
I wished it wasn't illegal here for violence to occur at school. Your sweet host is in pain, and you're squealing in excitement because a guy of the same gender is showing their concern by checking their friend for injuries- have mercy on these people, will you?
To be honest, even I had to have the devilish red tinge surface on my pale cheeks.
Anyways, if you stood close enough to the scene, you would've been able to see Mori's eyes widen the slightest bit. He only muttered one word that led to possibly my demise.
"Tamaki."
The blind nodded, and immediately, I rushed over to him, grabbing his shoulders, looking deeply into his eyes.
"M-Maru?!"
His face splattered with embarrassment, most likely because of the human contact and distance between us I created, but that was not important.
"Don't do it Tamaki."
His blush only died down slightly, as he tried to look serious and grown up.
"Sorry Maru, but it's the only way,"
He didn't remove my hands from his shoulders, so I kept them there, gripping tighter by the second, giving a stone hard glare. Blondie's red face started to have sweat-drops slowly make their way down his forehead, yet my intimidation was not enough to stop the few words I was dreading.
"U-Until Honey r-recovers from his cavity, s-snacks are banned from the host club!"
And at that moment, I deflated, falling down to the ground in slow motion, defeat written from head to toe.
"AH! DADDY! OUR DAUGHTER FAINTED! DO SOMETHING DADDY!"
"Sigh, I thought as much. I'll call the nurse."
Ah, a girl's worst nightmare. (Haruhi doesn't count. Haru is a weird creature.)
Their food being taken away, but in my case, banned.
"...p-pocky..."
"Uh-oh, emergency boss, Maru is broken!"
"Maru you weirdo! Get up! Food isn't the end of the world! Just ask Ranka!"
"WAAA! I'M SORRY RU-CHAN! Wa- ow!"
"..."
Might as well go on vacation while this is happening. I'm sorry, but I just can't stand the thought of not having any sweet food at all for a few days.
Maybe Kuro and I could take a trip to Hawaii or something..maybe take Shui instead and have Kuro rest more at home...sigh...I still need to fix that motorcycle bike helmet.
"MARU!"
Uwa...I guess I'm taking a nap.
