Kyoya sighed as Alec held onto his arm. Tamaki and Alec were talking animatedly about Tamaki's precious Beary, and Alec was even talking about making Beary a sibling, delighting the club president. They got several odd (and adoring) looks as they strolled towards their class, most directed at Alec.
When he finally noticed all the looks, he turned to Kyoya, his scarlet eyes honing in on the vice president. "What's with all the weird looks?" he asked, managing to make Kyoya sigh once again.
"You left your sunglasses in the club room." Alec swiftly brought his other hand up to his face, as if to double check if Kyoya was correct.
"Ack. I'm going to get way too much attention without those glasses.." he murmured.
"That's the point, remember? Consider this advertising for the Host Club," stated an unsympathetic Kyoya. Alec let out a quiet noise, something of a grumble, but went along with it anyway. The next few corridors passed by quickly in silence as they reached their classroom. The girls looked up swiftly, easily zeroing in on Alec. A small shiver ran down the newest host's spine as he hid behind Kyoya, head looking out from the left of his shoulder.
"What's with them?" he asked quietly as they started squealing. Kyoya didn't answer, but simply sat down in his seat. Alec was about to sit next to him, when an announcement came over the school's PA system.
"Attention Class 2A. Attention Class 2A. Your teacher is absent today, so please proceed to Lounge A6 for a free period. Thank you."

Alec flopped down on a nearby couch, lounging comfortably on the high quality furniture. Kyoya took his place at one of the tables, and started working on his laptop, while Tamaki sat in the open seat on the couch (near Alec's head). Alec yawned, revealing his rather sharp canine teeth, which seemed to please the girls to no end. A few seemed to be debating venturing over to them. The two hosts noticed this, and promptly called Kyoya over.
"What is it now?" he asked, glasses glinting dangerously.
"Protect us from those girls," ordered Alec lazily. Kyoya raised an eyebrow at Alec, who had the gall to order and OOTORI around. "Hey, don't give me that look. Think of it as protecting Club Assets," tried Alec, as the girls got closer.
"No," refused Kyoya, turning around. The girls were getting a tad to close, so Alec hopped off the couch and pounced on Kyoya, slipping his arms around his shoulders. The girls squealed loudly, talking rapidly to Tamaki about Alec, who they hoped (correctly) was the newest host.
"Kyooo~ya!" whined Alec, making the girls squeal louder. Kyoya stared down at Alec (who was pretty much dangling off him as he was dragging his legs on the ground). He sighed and just walked over to his seat at the table. Kyoya shoved Alec into a nearby chair, and sat down next to him, fingers rapidly typing a new estimate of the club's earnings. Alec grinned victoriously and put his head in his arms, ready for a cat nap.
He dozed off rather quickly, and didn't even hear the rest of the class come in, along with the seniors who had study hall. Among the newcomers were Mori, Hunny, and a few figures in dark cloaks. Alec mumbled incoherently in his sleep, and Hunny stopped the girls from squealing loudly. "Shhh! You'll wake up Al-chan!" he said, putting a finger to his lips with an adorably serious expression. The girls nodded and kept the noise down so Alec could sleep.
Not that his sleep really lasted all that long anyway. As soon as one of the cloaked figures got close enough, his eyes shot open. He got up and promptly pounced on the figure, who fell over because of the sudden extra weight. Alec landed on his feet, and he barely caught the cloaked figure before they hit the ground. "Whoops, sorry about that," he grinned, pulling the cloaked figure into a standing position. Both Kyoya and Tamaki were pleased: Catching someone in his arms like that was actually a rather heroic thing to do.
Naturally, Alec chose that time to attach himself to the cloaked figure, hugging them happily and flopping onto a nearby couch. He tugged the cloaked person with him, and they landed next to him. "Neko~!" purred Alec happily, nuzzling the cloaked Nekozawa affectionately. People simply stared. Alec, the cute new host, was hugging the president of the Black Magic Club. A few blinked to make sure they were actually seeing it correctly (and they were).
Some of the girls complained that they were much cuter and should be hugged instead. "No way, Neko's cute too," proclaimed Alec, who easily heard the loud girls. Nekozawa just sighed, used to his friends antics by now.
"There's no way that THING is cute," declared one of the girls. Alec glared at her, shooting her an icy look.
"He's way cuter than you," he said, sticking his tongue out at the girl. "At least he doesn't insult people like that. I can't stand people who treat others badly to make themselves feel better," he huffed. The girl and her friends glared at Alec, but the majority of the room broke out in squeals. It was just SO heroic that he was defending his friend after all.
"Take that back!" hissed the brunette angrily. Alec looked at Kyoya, who had a look along the lines of 'you'd damn well better take it back' on his face.
"Fine, I take it back," he said casually.
"Good!" huffed the angry girl.
"Even though you're cute on the outside, you're real ugly on the inside," he continued, flipping her off in the British fashion (a backwards peace sign). "Go learn to play nice and then I might take it back." Most of the room was surprised at his 'darker' hero side, but it fit Tamaki's expectations perfectly. The girl and her friends stormed out of the room, and a small crowd rushed Alec, asking lots of questions.
"What's your favorite food?"
"What's your favorite song?" asked another.
"Favorite host? Favorite tea?" The questions kept coming and coming. Alec put an arm around Nekozawa's shoulders as he answered.
"My favorite food is devil's chocolate cake, I don't have a favorite song. I don't have a favorite host, and I can't stand tea. Soda tastes much better." The girls seemed to notice his sweet tooth, and started asking about various sweet foods.
"Huh? Oh, my family runs the Blackwood Confections Company," he explained. "I grew up eating a lot of sweets, so I have a huge sweet tooth," he admitted, making the girls blush and plan for Valentines Day.
"Can we give you chocolate on Valentines Day!" a brave blonde asked nervously. The girls waited with baited breath. Honestly, these girls were something else.
"Sure, I love chocolate," replied Alec, shooting the girls and easy smile.
"Why do I need to be here?" asked Nekozawa softly.
"Because you're my favorite of course!" He told the occult obsessed teen as he glommed onto him. Several people in the room wanted to trade places with Nekozawa.
"Well you haven't changed a bit," sighed Nekozawa, allowing the cat-like teen to cling happily to him. "You're still very affectionate…" he muttered, making Alec grin.
"I can't help it, I haven't seen you since we were back in middle school."
As Alec and Nekozawa got caught up, Kyoya and Tamaki talked at their private table. "It looks like we'll make some good profit off of this," said Kyoya, punching more numbers into his laptop and snapping a picture for a potential photo-album.
"Definitely mommy~! You were lucky to recruit him first huh?" Kyoya nodded at Tamaki, punching in bigger and bigger numbers.
"That's an interesting way of seeing the situation," replied Kyoya. He would've gotten Alec in the club anyway, Ootori's specialized in that kind of thing, Kyoya especially. "It's too bad we can't recruit Nekozawa though," he added, making Tamaki stutter.
"O-Of course we can't! He's already very busy with his own club, and w-we don't even know if he's good looking enough to b-be in the club!" Tamaki was clearly panicked, but Kyoya calmed him down easily.
"Relax daddy. You're the president, so you make the decision, remember?" Kyoya reminded him, even though the real ringleader behind the Host Club was obviously him. Tamaki sniffled and calmed down, staring at Alec and Nekozawa.
"Well at least we know Alec's going to be a good host!" said Tamaki cheerfully, his attitude completely turning around. Kyoya hummed a quiet agreement, glancing over at Alec every once and again from over his laptop screen.
"It'll be interesting."
