The Silence I Needed (Mori x Reader)

Shippers and Shipwrecks

The highlight of my trip so far was definitely when Tamaki saw the pile of girls. He asked what was going on with a confused puppy look. Then all sixteen of us said "none ya'" without prompting. The shocked look in his eyes was priceless. The hosts gathered up Haruhi after a good ten minutes more of laughing (at the prince, for the most part). I expected the girls to split up after the hosts dragged us all to where the guests were meeting. They laid out their towels alongside mine and Benio's instead. She seemed to be having a normal conversation with a few girls, no idolizing going on. I am sure that made her happy. She did tell me, though, that one of the shippers, Miranda, had caught her eye. I don't think Mori will mind losing one of his guests to Benio. Especially if it has nothing to do with the Zuka Club.

Benio and I decided to get into the water today. Our group joined us and we ended throwing a ball around. Having friends is nice. It's been a while since I've had anyone more than Benio and Haruhi. We played lots of different games there, and I learned most of the girls' names. There's thirteen of them. That's quite a few names to learn. Mori and Hunny came over when they could pull away from some of the other guests. Mori pulled me against his chest right away. It was warm from the sun. All the girls squealed at his show of affection. Right. Shippers.

Hunny spun around in his bunny covered innertube. "So what are you ladies doing? Don't you want to spend time with the hosts?" His eyes teared up like he wasn't wanted.

"Of course!" Joanna stepped forward. I learned she's the one who started this mini club. "We love spending time with our hosts! We're spending time with (Y/N) because having different hosts means our club can't always be together.

"There's another club inside of the host club? Well, what is it?" Hunny stood up on his tiptoes to question us.

"Oh, yeah! We're the (Y/N) x Mori fan club! We're super happy for you guys and think what you have is so precious and romantic. We're the girls that want to protect your relationship because it's special even if you are one of our hosts."

Mori cocked his head to the side in appreciation. "Thank you." I told Mori about how they had shown up at the beach house with their, uh, questions.

"Are you going to tell him, Senpai?" Camille had called out. I facepalmed. Camille, I had learned, was the loudmouth of the group. All the girls leaned forward, interest piqued, and even Benio put her hands on her hips in question.

"Not right now!" I squeaked. "Um, girls, I've got a request for you!" This is a bad idea but Camille's question threw me off. "Why don't you guys set up a beach date for Takashi and I? It'd help a lot with the stress of the trip." I almost couldn't finish what I was saying because the girls were all squealing and jumping and nodding. They all ran off immediately, leaving Benio, Hunny, Mori, and I.

"What just happened, (Y/N)-chan?"

"A mess, that's what." Benio laughed. Let's hope she's not right.

Mori didn't seem bothered by anything that had happened. He seemed happy that we had people on our side, though. I could tell because of the way his arms relaxed around me when we were talking to those girls. He's been more tense because of the host club lately. I can see it at school. He's stiffer. during kendo. He's even more sensitive to his surroundings when the guests are nearby. I took his hand and kissed the knuckles. "They're all good babe, and so are we. They don't care if I say I love you. I love you Takashi." I turned in his arms to give him a proper hug, and he picked me up off the ground.

"Love you too, (Y/N)." Benio started making gagging noises and I started laughing as he put me back down into the water. Mori even smiled. The twins started calling back for their senpais then, so I sat down in the water, playing with a rock under the sand.
