I'll Always be by Your side (OHSHC: Takashi 'Mori' Morinozuka x OC)

Chapter Twenty Three: Kirimi

The Host club was cosplaying playing again today, this time as a police department. They were all in male police uniforms, except for Carala, who was wearing a skirt with the uniform.

A little girl came in.

"Reverse harem?" She said.

"EH? Did she just say reverse harem?" Carala shook Takashi's sleeve.

"Megane?" She pointed to Kyoya.

"Lolita? Stotic?" She pointed to Mitsukuni and Takashi.

"Yandere?" She pointed to Carala, who blinked in surprise.

"Nerd? Twincest?" The little girl pointed to Haruhi and the twins.

"Brother?" The little girl jumped into Tamaki's arms, but Carala paid no notice.

"Yandere? Yandere?" Carala cried. "I'm fine with tsundere, but yandere?! Do I look like a yandere, Taka?!" She grabbed his collar and shook it.

"..You will if you keep doing this." Takashi muttered, pushing her hands away.

"Kirimi.." A creepy voice said, and Carala whirled around.

"Nekowaza san?" Carala tilted her head. "You two are..related?"

"She looks as if she really hates him." Mitsukuni said.

"Too much light means death for Master Umehito." A woman said.

"But our little princess hates the dark." A man's voice continued.

"They have completely different natures, which is why they're called the Romeo and Juliet of the family." It turned out a maid was talking.

"Oh! Catchy!" Carala said, clapping.

"Thank you." The maid curtsied.

The maid continued talking about Nekowaza's condition, how light kills him, but Carala was half listening. It reminded her of..Yukihanna.

"Big sister, look!"

Carala turned around and gasped. "Yuki! Your hair!"

"Mommy let me dyed the tips white so it's like my name!" Yukihanna told her cheerfully, and Carala patted her head.

"Yes, it's so pretty! Maybe I should dye my hair tips red.."

"But Tekila nee, your hair is already pretty!"

"Basa senpai, Mori senpai! Go secure Nekowaza senpai!" Tamaki suddenly shouted, snapping Carala out of it.

"Yessir!" She and Takashi started running after Nekowaza, who was surprisingly fast, despite his long black cloak.

"Got you!" Carala grabbed his cloak, but he was still running and she accidentally tripped, falling to the ground, but dragging Nekowaza with her.

"Don't try to run away." Takashi looked down at Nekowaza and picked him up, ignoring his protests.

And so Nekowaza's hellish training began.

Carala didn't help, she was busy doing homework, since she was practicing martial arts and watching anime most of last night.

Nekowaza was trying to charm Kirimi, using a teddy bear as his practice partner. Tamaki told him to use the eyes of his heart, but Tamaki couldn't even set an example of charming a Haruhi doll.

"Easy." Takashi muttered under his breath, but Tamaki heard him.

"If it's so easy, Mori senpai, then go sweet talk Basa senpai!" Tamaki shouted.

"Certainly." Takashi walked over to where Carala was, while the whole club watched.

"Carala.." He started, making her look up.

"What is it, Taka? I'm trying to do homework." Carala asked.

Takashi gently put his hands under her chin and tilted it up, so she was looking into his eyes and leaned close

"I just want to tell you that your smile is so sweet, like a rose with the morning dew. Just one smile makes my dark as midnight day turn into a sunrise of feelings in my heart. I'll stay by your side forever, until the world stops spinning."

The whole club was silent in awe, watching intently, waiting to see how Carala would react.

Carala blinked in surprise for a few seconds, then smiling her usual signature smile.

"Thanks! I'll stay by your side too! But please go away when I'm changing or in the bathroom." She told him.

The host club turned white at her response, and Takashi went OTL in the corner.
