Tamaki's Lil Sister

Chapter 18

It was the next day, and all the hosts were in Music Room Three, excepting Haruhi. I didn't know where she was. I was slouching against a twin, too tired to stand up straight. After a long day at school, and a few hours hosting, I was ready for bed. I spend all last night reading on my phone under my duvet, a bad habit of mine.

"Tama-Chan seems to be enjoying himself, huh?" Honey asks.

"He looks rather miserable to me." I heard the twin I was supporting myself with mutter. I could distinct the voice as Kaoru's.

"Don't be so cynical, Kaoru. Everything's going according to plan! I could see how this would play out from the start, without being jealous of the likes of you." He proclaimed from his chair.

"God, where's a melon when you need one." I muttered sleepily. Kaoru sniggered at the memory.

"Indeed, this anime has always been a school love comedy! Haruhi and I are clearly the necessary two parts of that." Tamaki turns around and speaks at a wall, like he's speaking to an audience. What a fantasy, thinking this is an anime. I don't know how his imagination is so wild.

"Then what are we?" The boys chant, as I glare over at Tamaki. He was going to be bluntly harsh. Rude. I wished I had the strength to walk over and clamp my hand over his mouth.

"The supporting homo-homo cast, of course!"

"And what I am?" I snap.

"The girl best friend who helps advice the protagonist female on her actions, like what to wear for a date!"

"Nah."

"Yeah, we agree with Chi on this one. I'm kind of disgusted by this." Hikaru says wearily. I finally gather the strength to waddle over and flop onto a sofa. I listen to the rest of their conversation from the comfortable sofa.

"On the other hand..." Kaoru begins.

"Don't you understand, sir?" Hikaru looks over to me.

"If it gets out Haru-Chan is a girl, she won't be able to stay in the host club. Chihiro too." Honey clings to his bunny. Tamaki looks stumped.

Honey continued rambling. "But if they both wore girls' clothes, they would look even more cute!"

"Haruhi wore girls' clothes until Middle School, right? She must have been very popular with the boys." Hikaru commented.

"Yeah."

"According to my investigative report, Haruhi would get declarations of love every month. The numbers are approximately the same for Chihiro." Kyoya recited.

"Oh, then his highness wouldn't be able to get close to her." Kaoru sighs sarcastically.

"We'd be okay though. We're in the same class as the girls. We'd see them still." Hikaru says to his brother.

Just as I start falling asleep, the door opens and I see Haruhi's face peeking through.

"Sorry, I'm late, I was just–"

"Don't worry, Haruhi! We're going to make sure we protect the secret that you're a girl tomorrow at the physical exams!" The last thing I see is Tamaki yelling in Haruhi's face, shaking her violently. Again.

"What about your sister– oh she's asleep!" Kaoru says. My eyes are shut and I drift off into a deep sleep.

When I open my eyes, the first thing I see is a pillow, covering my face. I tend to grab stuff and cuddle it close to me when I sleep. When I was little, whenever I got nightmares, I would crawl into Tamaki's bed and curl up with him.
