In the club, Haruhi watched as the usual activities went on. Tamaki 'swept' the girls off their feet (and often into nosebleeds), Kyoya sat in the corner typing on his computer, the twins were up to their mischievous antics, and Mori overlooked Honey eating cake. To her, it was a rather peaceful day, and she was happy with no surprises in her future.
Then the door knocked, and she got curious. This late into the club, and someone was arriving now? Curiously, she stood to get the door when it opened itself, revealing an older man, grey hair in a ponytail and black suit sharp on his body.
None of the people knew him, but Haruhi did, and got confused.
"Vlad?" She called tentatively, all attention shifting to her in confusion now. He looked for the source, before he smiled.
"Indeed, Haruhi." His smile, a gentleman's look, had a bunch of girls blushing as he entered, making his way over to her. "And how are you faring on this lovely afternoon?"
"Fine, Vlad, but what are you doing here?"
"Excuse me, sir." Kyoya called from behind, walking over to them. "Though I mean not to intrude, might I inquire as to who you are, and to what purpose you have."
Vlad looked over, studying over the teen, before he smiled again. "Well trained, perfectly said. Something I would expect from an Ootori, and something I know your father prides in, though he might not show it." Ignoring the hint of shock on the teen's face, he faced him fully and answered, "But you did ask. My name is Vladimir Masters, and have come to help someone...get some fresh air."
Haruhi looked confused, before she happened to glance back to the door. Her confusion turned to quick realization, and then unhidden joy as she ran passed Vlad (who was chuckling as he watched) and wrapped her arms around the teen there.
"Danny!" She squealed, hearing a chuckle come from him. Unknown to either of them, a blond perked up at hearing that name, putting down his fork full of cake.
"Well a hello to you too." Danny laughed, hugging her back. "I think this welcome is fitting for a man like me."
"Prat." said jokingly, Haruhi released him and stepped back, happy confusion on her face. "What are you doing here?"
"Well," Danny looked to Vlad, who was smiling fondly at him, "Vlad happened to visit me at the apartment. We talked, and he asked if I had met the club you were a part of. I said yes, but never visited. Then…"
"I took it upon myself to deliver young Daniel here." Vlad finished. "He spends so much time cooped up in that apartment, and needed sun, so I talked with the headmaster and he allowed me to bring Danny here for afterschool."
"I hope you don't mind, Haruhi." Danny rubbed the back of his neck, which Haruhi knew as his nervous sign.
She smiled, grabbing his hand. "Not at all! Come on!" Excitedly, she pulled him while he chuckled, pulling him to a nearby empty couch.
"I think I shall be off then," Vlad bowed to the group, causing quiet squeals around the room. Still smiling, he exited the room, closing the door behind him.
With him gone all attention turned to Danny, who sat next to Haruhi smiling around the room. Surprisingly, he was dressed in black dress pants, with a white buttoned shirt and black tie. To be honest, minus a jacket he could pass as a student in the school, he had the childish look and laid-back style for it. Speaking of childish.
"DANNY!" Came a (not-so) manly scream, a blur of yellow hair, and then Honey was in Danny's lap, hugging the raven teen closely. Smiling (and fighting his blush) Danny hugged the tiny blond (whose face was in his chest, covering his own blush) back. Girls around the room squealed, yelling 'Kwai!' and similar phrases, with Kyoya noticing and planning already.
"And it's always a pleasure to see you, Honey."
"Would you like a piece of cake?" Of course, the sweet tooth kid couldn't forget his sugary sweets entirely.
"I would love to, but later, ok?" Danny asked, sagging a little into the seat. He looked a little tired, making Haruhi look at him with a slightly narrowed eye. He nodded, though no one but Kyoya and Honey saw it. She nodded in return, relaxing her own stance.
"Excuse me.." Came a quiet voice, and a sole girl walked up, fighting the blush on her face. "B-But can we know who you are?"
Danny smiled, making her face redder, as he sat up straighter. "Why, how rude of me. Not introducing myself to all you lovely maidens." That comment made the girl faint, and others squeal. His voice was different than the others, seeming a mix between Honey's childish and Mori's experienced. "My name is Danny Fenton, Haruhi's cousin actually. Sorry for the intrusion, if you forgive me."
Through all the girls squeals, Danny mentally thought 'Jazz would be proud of me. Knowing what to say to a crowd'. Honey, still sitting on Danny's lap, laughed and held him closer, making Danny's blush show through. That caused more nosebleeds.
"H-Honey…"
"So how are you doing Danny?" The twins asked, doing a rather terrible job at hiding their smirks at the sight. Knowing Danny was embarrassed, for all the right reasons, gave them ammunition against the poor guy when they needed it.
"Quite alright…" Dany replied, shifting a little to put Honey somewhere more comfortable. The girls were losing their damn minds at this point, which Kyoya noticed and smirked.
"Although this is a pleasant surprise," Kyoya called out, "I must ask that we give them some room. Less Danny explodes from the blood rushing to his head."
Though the blush intensified Danny glared at Kyoya, to which he gave an innocent smile back. Disheartedly, the girls cleared, but still glanced back at them from time to time. For the remainder of the day, Honey sat on Danny's lap, Mori watched over happily (which looked strange for the usually emotionless teen). The twins, whenever they did their act, would always throw a wink over to Danny, making him blush. Haruhi seemed to perk up since he arrived, becoming more cheerful with her guests and getting more requests than usual.
All the while Honey and Danny talked, neither of them pushing the either away, till one point when Honey grew tired. His eyes slumped a little, and slowly he fell into Danny's chest, still holding onto him in his subconscious. Just about every customer's brain shut off at the sight, and about 75% of the room fainted. Those who remained were stuck in this euphoric state, and couldn't keep up with their hosts. Seeing this, Kyoya closed the club early, and ushered all the girls (after reviving the majority of them).
Whilst the duo sat on the couch, the other 6 hosts stood off to the side, discussing a new possibility.
"I think he'd be wonderful." Tamaki gushed, eyes sparkling.
"He does seem to have a rather strong effect on the ladies here," Kyoya added, sounding calculative as usual.
"Plus him and Honey-"
"-Draw more girls-"
"-Than we do." The twins said, sounding rather impressed and a little jealous (mainly Hikaru).
"And Honey seems to be quite..comfortable with him," Haruhi looked over at the pair, who were both now sleeping. Honestly, it was one of the cutest sights she'd ever seen.
"Yes, he is." Mori spoke...sounding, happy. He even had a smile to go with it, which shocked all the hosts.
"I think we all agree." Kyoya paused, seeing the agreement in everyone's eyes. " Then when he wakes, we shall offer him the job." And all the hosts agreed to let the pair sleep. If nothing else, none of the had the heart to break it up, or disrupt the twins who had pulled out a camera at this point.
One hour later…
Groaning, Danny shuffled on the couch, barely awake. Yet he did feel a weight on his chest when he went to move. Groggily, he opened his eyes, blinking away the remains of tiredness. Looking around, he realized that he fell asleep in the host club, and must've for some time since no girls were around.
Shifting a little, he felt something grab his chest and, once upon looking down, renewed his blush strength. A small blond was nestled against his chest and, judging by the grip he had on Danny, wasn't going to move anytime soon. Trapped, all Danny could do was sit there and pray he didn't wake up Honey.
However his luck wasn't known for being good, because Honey started to groan a little, eyes blinking away his sleep. He gripped harder, yawning into Danny's chest, before he happened to look up. Blue eyes met brown, and, for a moment, they seemed to be entranced by the other.
"H-Hey…" Danny's voice quivered slightly, not used to the emotion behind this simple situation.
"H-Hi," Neither was Honey, who was never genuinely shy. Sure, he might put on an act for the girls but most people forgot that he was actually 17, and quite mature when needed. However, this was a moment where he was at a loss for words and resorted to a nervous chuckle.
A cough behind them made them jump, turning to see the other hosts look on at them, amusement on their faces (and evil smirks on the twin's faces). Danny blushed hard, nearly popping a blood vessel, while Honey managed to resume his childish air.
Yet none of them could forget the blush that blond had on his face, no matter how innocent he looked now.
