Feels Like the First Time

Chapter Five - Let The Fun Begin

"So, what did this host club actually entail?" I asked the group four drinks into the party and a long chat with Haruhi about, well, everything.

"The same as all Host clubs." Tamaki, as he had insisted I call him, shrugged in response.

"Well, since I've never heard of one I could do with a bit more of an explanation. Especially since it sounds rather shady." I said with a giggle, Mei and Haruhi laughing with me.

"What do you mean shady?" Tamaki shrieked, apparently alcohol didn't help that side of his personality.

"Well, I mean, it sounds a bit like an escort service." I responded making Ootori smirk and the twins burst out laughing. Tamaki just dropped his jaw in disbelief.

"It wasn't anything like that," Ootori said after a short pause. "The girls would pick a host and we'd just talk to them, entertain them." My brow furrowed at his answer.

"What school allows this to be a club? I don't see the point in it."

"Hey, boss. You should show her." The twins said in unison with a mischievous smirk.

"What a great idea, Tamaki." Ootori said with a sardonic smile. Oh no, I thought as I looked to Tamaki who seemed excited by their idea.

"My princess," Tamaki crooned at me holding out his hand and I fought to hold back a hiccup of laughter. Tamaki looked confused when I didn't take his hand. "Would you care to dance, my princess?" He asked after a pause.

"There's no music." My voice was shaking with the laughter I was trying to hide.

"Ah, my princess, but we only need the music of our love." He insisted. That was it, I couldn't keep in my laughter anymore. I was doubled over so didn't notice that Tamaki had thrown himself into a dark corner. When I lifted up my head, Mei and the twins were crying with laughter, like I was, and Haruhi was just shaking her head with a slight smile.

"Did he use that line on you?" I asked Haruhi wiping the tears from my eyes and checking my make-up hadn't run.

"No! In fact, it was him using those lines that meant we didn't get together for so long." She replied with a roll of her eyes and making me laugh again.

"So, you all did that?" I asked, I couldn't imagine any of them acting like that.

"No. We all had separate acts." Ootori answered me.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, Kyoya was the cool type," Ootori pushed his glasses up his nose when the twin said this.

"We were the forbidden love type," the other twin said as they wrapped their arms around each other.

"Honey was the Lolita type," one said again, the other then following with, "and Mori was the wild type."

I just stared at the twins for a second, too stunned to be able to say anything. I then cleared my throat and looked at Mei who was still laughing, tears now streaming down her face. Ritsu just looked at the men as if he were really bored of all of this. I looked at Haruhi who had a similar look to Ritsu and I had a thought.

"Wait, wasn't Haruhi in the club as well?" I asked, Mei had told me this last weekend when we'd spoken about the meeting after my show.

"Ah, yes, Haruhi was the natural type! She seemed to have a very honest way of speaking with the girls, luckily for her." Ootori said flashing Haruhi a smirk and she just rolled her eyes at him.

"So how did no one know you were a girl?"

"I don't know. I guess because I didn't really care. It didn't and still doesn't really matter to me about my gender." Haruhi said smiling at me warmly. With that look, I could see why she was the 'natural type'.
