Broken Boys Like Broken Girls. // Hikaru x Reader

Chapter Five- Beware

"Well it was fun while it lasted chica," I say, "want some tea?"

"Oh you," Tamaki mumbles as he stares off. 

"He must be having a great daydream," Honey says.

"If he pops a boner I'm drowning him in his stupid instant coffee," I groan.

  "He's kind of creeping me out," Hikaru says.

"Envious, Hikaru?" Tamaki asks, "This is all part of my strategy. While you've wasted time blinded by your jealousy, I've foreseen the outcome of this charade. This anime is obviously a romantic school comedy. Haruhi and I are the main characters. So that means we are love interests."

 "Actually this is a fanfic about an anime but okay," I say.

"Yeah, then what are we?" The twins asks.

"You boys and girl are the homosexual supporting cast," Tamaki says, "So, please make sure that you don't step across this line." He draws a line across the floor separating us.

"You've gotta be kidding," I say with the twins.

"Hey listen, boss," Hikaru says, "I don't think you get it."

"If word gets out that Haru-chan is really a girl, then she won't be able to be in the host club any more," Honey says as Tamaki spaces out, "But if Haru-chan started wearing girls' clothes, I bet she'd be even cuter than she is now."

"She dressed like a regular girl when she was in middle school, right? She must've been pretty popular with all the boys," Hikaru says. I roll my eyes at the comment. Who cares how many guys she attracts.

"Yeah, according to my investigative report, someone would declare their undying love to her at least once a month," Kyoya says.

"Oh, I see," Kaoru says, "So the boss wouldn't even be able to get close to her."

"She'd have a line of men waiting to get to her," I say.

"But we'd be able to because we're in class with her all day long," Hikaru adds.

"No way," Tamaki says. Starting to tear up. 

"Hey guys, sorry I'm so late," Haruhi says.

"Don't you worry, Haruhi!" Tamaki says, "We're determined to keep your secret.No one will find out that you're really a girl during tomorrow's physical exams. So please, promise you'll stay our beloved secret princess."

"Sure," Haruhi says,

"You know what. I think both of us would be a little peeved if we had to watch all the guys flirt with her," Hikaru says. I know he is just teasing Tamaki but I can't help but to feel a little frustrated. 

"Then that settles it," Kaoru says.

"Listen up, squad members," Tamaki says pointing to a white board with our instructions on it, "At tomorrow's physical exams, position yourselves in formation A. And then wait for your orders."

"Yes, sir," We say.

"I've got it," Haruhi says, " You guys are worried because if they find out I'm a girl, I can't be a host and therefore can't repay my debt. My balance is 5,333,332 yen. Well, guess I'll have to come up with another way to pay you back."

"Do something. The subject doesn't appear to have any motivation," The twins say.

"Like literally none at all jeez," I groan.

"Why do we get stuck with such difficult heroine?" Tamaki asks glaring at me the switching to Haruhi, "Are you saying that you hate being a host? That you hate this club?"

"To be honest, I'd have to say yes," She says crushing all of our souls just a bit. I mean damn we all have worked our asses off to get this club where it is. "I mean you guys aren't bad. But If it gets out that I'm a girl, there's nothing I can do, you know?"

"She doesn't seem to care one way or the other," Hikaru says.

"Well before we do anything else, we have to find a way to motivate her," Kaoru.

"How?" I ask them.

"Fancy tuna," Mori says. It all clicks in our minds. 

"Oh that's right. You didn't get the chance to eat any during last episode's party, did you?" Tamaki asks.

"Did you hear that? She's never eaten fancy tuna before. Isn't that awful?" Hikaru asks.

"Its just the worst thing I've ever heard," I say.

"Talk about a difficult childhood," Kaoru says.

"If only Haru-chan could stay in the host club, she'd have the chance to eat all kinds of yummy things whenever she wants," Honey says.

"Exactly Honey-senpi," I say,

"What are you talking about?" Haruhi asks, "Don't be silly.Just because I'm poor and I've never had it doesn't mean I'm so much of a glutton that I'd go on fooling everyone about my gender just to try some fancy tuna...." She looks around us then sighs, "Am I really gonna get to try it?"
