♠ Dream ♠ [3]

Warnings: host club shenanigans, lots of flirting and pretty boys.
Dream Effects: childish fun, and possibly some heart-quickening attraction

Except for one slightly flustered- and bad-tempered-looking redhead boy in a corner, flowers in hand, the seven members of the Host Club are ringed by dozens of squealing girls. "The Host Club is back," they whisper amongst each other between squeals. "They're finally open again!"

"Tamaki-sama, it's so wonderful to see you here again!" one bold girl finally admits, her voice high-pitched with excitement. "The whole Host Club... it's been so long!"

"Of course, my princess," Tamaki says, grasping the girls hands in his. "Do you think I could ever truly leave you? Indeed, every day I pined of our separation for our reunion, waiting for the day I could once more lose myself in your beautiful eyes."

The girl swoons.

"Hikaru, you told me the same thing once," Kaoru murmurs suddenly, looking shyly away from his twin. "Was it just a line you fed me? Something untrue that you have told to others?"

"Kaoru!" Hikaru grabs Kaoru's arm, placing a hand on the other's cheek to turn his head so that their gazes meet, eyes smoldering as they stare at each other. Kaoru bites his lower lip, pink tinging his cheeks. "Kaoru, I could never look at anyone else. You are the other half of me. I could never separate from you, not even for a moment, and if I could I would look into your eyes forever..."

A girl grabs onto her friend, close to fainting as she lets out a breathy "Kyaaaaaaaa--"

"--when I woke up, I couldn't find Usa-chan," Hunny says, his brown eyes wide and sad as he hugs said pink plush bunny closer to his body. "I looked and looked and I thought I was going to cry, but... but Takashi told me it was going to be all right and that we'd find him together. And when we walked into the kitchen--" Suddenly his eyes light up. "--there was Usa-chan, and he was surrounded by so many cakes, too!! The cook must have just made some new snacks and found Usa-chan where I'd dropped him. But Usa-chan and Takashi and all celebrated and had a biiiiiiiig reunion party-- with lots of cake, of course!"

He giggles, Mori gives a rare smile and ruffles Hunny's hair, and a girl covers her eyes with her hands. "That is just too cute!!!"

Haruhi looks up at Kyouya, who, predictably, is scribbling in his ever-present black book. "Requests are higher than ever," he murmurs, sounding incredibly pleased. "It seems as though our customers love a little tragedy, after all. I'll have to keep that in mind for future events. Make sure you don't screw anything up too badly anymore, Haruhi, because some debts aren't quite easily as payable as your last one. I'd have to say it was mostly your fault we had to close in the first place, so I'm going to let you work to repay the money we could have made during that time, all right?"

He's the Shadow King, all right, Haruhi thinks with a gulp as Kyouya smiles, his aura all the more menacing with the cheerful look.

She herself turns as her name is called. Her three most loyal customers look just as elated as the other girls as one of them asks, "Haruhi-kun, aren't you so glad that you're all together again?"

"Gladder than anything," Haruhi says with a wistful smile. "The Host Club is so important to me. They've all taught me how to laugh, how to get angry, how to cry, even how to love with all my heart... and to be able to share that with you is half the fun of knowing how."

I see what Tamaki-senpai meant when he called us a family, Haruhi thinks as the girls beside her blush, and why even though I know we can't be together forever... we can dream, and try our very hardest to remain so.

She laughs and holds out a hand. "Welcome to the Host Club. Whatever your dreams, we promise to make them come true!"

[... so her heart might've been racing just a bit at all the scandalous goings-on in the club, but that's to be expected, isn't it? By all means, she's part of the target audience. However a certain name manages to wake her up just the slightest bit, not to mention Tamaki's appearance in the dream.]

Oh... you are Miss Haruhi, are you not? I beg your pardon, I hadn't meant to intrude upon your dream, however...

Well you see, I've heard of you from Master Tamaki and simply had to inquire.

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, it's all right, you didn't intrude. A dream is just a dream, after all, and there's not much to do about their being public.

I am Haruhi, but [cautious, because she knows the kinds of things Tamaki is known to say] if you've heard of me from Tamaki-senpai I wouldn't necessarily pass your judgments on that.

[identity profile] suppressedtime.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
How understanding of you. I suppose that is true enough, considering our current situation.

[She laughs just a bit.] Well, I don't know about that. He's spoken of you with nothing but the utmost praise, and I see no reason to doubt him thus far.

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes he can be a little... scarce on correct details. [this is said dryly, but then she laughs] He's stupid sometimes. But he's a person I really respect nonetheless.

I do have to ask your name, though-- I'm sorry I don't know it.

[Oh... how blunt! But that just makes Sharon laugh in response.]

I... completely understand what you mean, awful as it may sound. It's all meant in the best intentions, of course. I'm so glad that Master Tamaki's affections for you are returned to a degree.

And oh- please forgive me. I am at fault for that. My name is Sharon Rainsworth, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Haruhi's not much one for mincing words. At "Tamaki's affections for you", however, Haruhi turns red and fumbles for a minute before responding]

Well, stupidity doesn't make him less of a good person. And no, it's not your fault! I'm happy to meet you, too.

Actually, I think Tamaki-senpai has mentioned you before. Did he... I think he said he held an event based off a holiday in your world?

[identity profile] suppressedtime.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[She notices and simply giggles in response, refraining from commenting on it. She knows what it means.]

You're correct. You certainly understand him, Miss Haruhi!

That is correct. Oh, how wonderful that was, to recreate Saint Bridget's day here... Had he told you the details of the event?

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think anyone can truly understand what goes through his head, but I do know him well. [for someone so transparent, he can be shockingly difficult to read at times]

He told me that it'd based off a legend, and men gave feathers to the women most important to them.

[identity profile] suppressedtime.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And that makes her smile.] How wonderful. I hope not to overstep my place, but I find your relationship with him to be very... reassuring.

Ah yes, that's correct! It's a beautiful story, Miss Haruhi. I do hope that you can experience the festival one day. Perhaps in some time we can recreate it again...

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[afghjlkjhg] Re-- "reassuring"? In what way?

I'd love to learn more about it and take part in the festival myself. I'm sure we will!

[identity profile] suppressedtime.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[SO CUTE. Aaahhhh. But Sharon has to remain as dignified as possible. For now, she will continue to give gentle pushes in the right direction.]

It's... well. Certainly even the most complicated of people need someone to understand them, no? And Master Tamaki truly seems to adore you. That you may reciprocate it even the slightest is something that I find very wonderful.

[giggles] I'd be more than happy to indulge you with information at any time. I was unable to participate in the actual festival in my home world, so having the chance to recreate it here... it truly makes me very happy.

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I do... care for and respect him... very much.

[and speaking of her respect for him, here's a reason for it]

Tamaki-senpai's very reason for starting the Host Club was to make other people happy. I'm very glad he was able to make you so. I look forward to being able to celebrate with you next time!

[identity profile] scaryoniichama.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
A family, mmm? That does sound like Suoh.

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... he'll do anything to keep a family whole and happy.

[a moment's solemnity for serious memories that happened back in Tokyo, but it's soon time to rag on Tamaki again.]

He calls Kyouya-senpai "Mommy" and himself "Daddy".

[identity profile] scaryoniichama.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
How terribly amusing...

Would that you make you his... 'son'?

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haruhi has nearly forgotten that Nekozawa isn't supposed to know her gender, since she hasn't had a need to conceal it in Somarium, but now she remembers]

Ah... he does quite like to think of himself as my father, yeah.

[identity profile] scaryoniichama.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[truth be told, he find out about the secret here in som! but it's fun to mess with people.]

Then the others are your dear siblings?

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[and oh, how Nekozawa is a master at messing with people. particularly Tamaki.]

I think Kaoru and Hikaru are, but Mori-senpai and Hunny-senpai are our cousins, or something. I'm not sure quite what goes through Tamaki-senpai's mind.

[identity profile] scaryoniichama.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The only one who knows what goes through his head... is Suoh.

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
His is certainly a delusional mind.


[Tamaki-bashing party ftw?]

[identity profile] scaryoniichama.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
His makes for interesting dreams, at least~

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's what you'd call them...

[identity profile] scaryoniichama.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And what would you call them~?

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Delusional fantasies, mostly, in which no one acts the way he or she is supposed to act.

[she sounds as though she's insulting him, but really she's just upset he'd think the host club would ditch him so easily (in regards to his latest dream).]

[Well, that was very certainly unexpected but Rise couldn't help but amused by what she had seen. A small laugh escapes before she opens her mouth to speak.]

Wow, I didn't never thought that was how the Host Club was really handled.

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-04 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haruhi sheepishly rubs back of her neck] Well... usually it's a bit more organised than in my dream, but that is the main idea of it, yes.

[personal profile] popstar 2010-09-05 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She knows the general idea at least but she hasn't seen anything like that going on in the Host Club sessions here.]

But you were all guys back there, huh?

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[um. yeah. about that.]

I'm... actually a girl. I was careless and was forced to join the Host Club as a male host to pay back a debt, but now I stay because I really do have fun.

Oh, I know about that, Fujioka-san. We've met before when you were here last so you don't need to worry about anything.

I should probably introduce myself, huh? Rise Kujikawa. Nice to meet you again!

[identity profile] ootorospring.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh... we did? [still a weird concept] Well, it's nice to meet you, too!

Uh-huh. We met during one of the host club events here.
