"What on earth is a Host club?" I gaped at Mei as I yanked my hand away from the blond in front of me.
"Do you not have them in the UK?" She asked with her signature somewhat amused smirk. I glared at her in response, I was getting sick of that smirk.
"A host club is where attractive young men with too much time on their hands entertain young women who also have too much time on their hands." The blond "prince" proclaimed, wrapping his arm around me and gesturing wildly as if I could also see the fantastical film he could. I shot a concerned, wide-eyed look at Mei who was enjoying this far too much. I looked to Ootori who seemed to be the practical one in this group.
"It was something we did in High School. It's not as bad as he makes it sound." He explained, with a glare at Suoh, now talking in Japanese. I gave him a disbelieving smirk.
"Well it sounds lovely," I said sarcastically as I attempted to pry myself away from the blond's grasp.
"It is lovely," he insisted. "We made them very happy. We still do!"
"I'm sure Haruhi is thrilled." I muttered in English still shoving at him with no success. "Fujioka-san, please tell your husband to get off me." I pleaded at her in Japanese but she was laughing too much to do anything but wave her hands in apology. I looked around desperately to find that everyone was laughing except Morinozuka who was frowning at me. I rolled my eyes in aggravation turning to Suoh. "Please, get off me." I begged him, my eyes wide in panic.
Instead of having my desired effect, his eyes began to sparkle as he shrieked "so cute!" and began to nuzzle my head as he had done to Haruhi earlier. My eyes grew wide and my hands began to tense but before I could really lose my temper I was ripped from Suoh's grasp. He turned to me like a petulant child as impressively strong arms held me about a foot above the ground.
"Oh my god, put me down!" I cried, my breathing starting to become heavy. My feet instantly touched the ground and I took a deep breath to calm myself. Suoh began to run at me again with open arms so I put my hand out to stop him, however, he just ran face first into it. I drew my arm back in pain making him face plant the floor. I stared at him in utter confusion. What on earth? I thought to myself, shaking my head.
I turned to see who my saviour had been. "Morinozuka-san, thank you. I'm sorry I yelled." I said with a small bow. I looked up and he smiled at me slightly and patted my head. Well, that's a new one, I thought.
"Do you not like being picked up, Hannah-chan?" Haninozuka asked looking up at me with a tilt of his head.
"No. I don't know why. Just one of those things, I guess." I shrugged with a chuckle. I took a second to study him finding him very childlike, however his eyes held a keen knowledge that betrayed his age.
"I guess it was a bit rude of Mori to just pick you up." Said the twin on the right.
"Yeah, Mori. You should be more careful." The twin on the left continued both sticking out their hands in a thumbs down gesture.
"Oh no, honestly, I really appreciate what you did." I insisted turning back to Morinozuka who had dropped his head. "It's not your fault." I continued, softly touching his arm and ducking my head to catch his eye. He lifted his head slowly and I smiled at him warmly. He gave a soft smile in reply and nodded.
"Hannah-san?" called a familiar voice behind me. I turned to see my professor and excused myself from the group.
After arranging to meet my tutor next week, I turned back to see the group arguing, well, by group I mean Suoh was yelling at everyone. I narrowed my eyes in frustration at the collection of strange people. I had been in Japan long enough to know that these men were unusual, even in Japan. From what Mei had told me I knew that they were all very well-off and came from highly respected families but they were nothing like what I had expected. The rich people I had met in the past had been nothing like this, although I hadn't met many, they had either been completely unexceptional or complete assholes. That's true for everyone I guess, I chuckled to myself.
"Hannah-chan," Haninozuka called me out of my thoughts. "You'll come, won't you?" I suppressed a snigger at the double meaning and rolled my eyes at myself.
"Come where?"
"To the party!" Haninozuka rocked onto the balls of his feet at this.
"What party?" I asked, still confused but charmed by his actions.
"Ritsu and I had organised a little get together for us all," Mei glanced at Ritsu at this with a secretive grin. I narrowed my eyes at that, just what was she planning. "We were going to invite you anyway so I just told the guys about it and Tamaki freaked out."
"Do you not want me to attend, Suoh-san?" I asked him; if he didn't want me there then I was more than happy to not go, my tutor had just informed me of a deadline so I could be getting on with work.
"No, that's not it, it's the opposite. Honestly!" Suoh responded, his arms reaching out towards me. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Tamaki wants to introduce you to the world so he was arguing that several other people should be invited to the party to meet you." Ootori informed me with an exasperated sigh. I gave Mei an incredulous look and she gave me her annoying smirk.
"Well, that's very sweet of you, Suoh-san, however, I doubt that Mei and Ritsu would like their party being overthrown." I turned to Suoh and gave him the smile I used on my niece and nephew when they were arguing.
"Oh, of course. I'm sorry for suggesting it, Mei and Ritsu. We should organise another party!" Suoh proclaimed, pointing a finger into the air.
"When is your party?" I asked Mei to distract her from killing Suoh.
"Next weekend, Saturday. It's just a garden party, we'll have some food and drinks. Everyone's staying over." Mei informed me, again glancing at Ritsu.
"Sounds wonderful."
