Hugs From The Captain!

---

“Good job, matey!” Magnum yells out when you drop a large sack of coins on the ground. You breathe heavily and your arms are shaking, but by God you carried that shit onto the ship. In the middle of a gunfight, no less!

You don't respond, preferring to hit the deck as bullets continue to fly. You cover your ears with your hands and squeeze your eyes shut tight. No matter how long you'd be on this ship, you were sure you'd never get used to this part. You don't know how long you were on the floor, but when you looked again, two other crewmates were on the floor as well and it was silent. You scramble to your feet and look around, sighing when you notice the other ship sailing away.

"Good job, Y/N!" One of your mates says loudly, still on their stomach on the floor. Ah, yes. Gunshots. Ringing in the ears. Love it.

“Thank--!” You’re cut off with a squeak as Magnum squeezes you in a giant bear hug.

“Aw, you’re doin’ fantastic! That was wonderful! I never thought I’d have such a great first mate!” He turns to another crewmate. ���...no offense”

“Some taken…” he sighs and rests his cheek in his hand.

"Mag-" you can't finish before you wheeze a breath out, and the captain takes that as a sign he should put you down. He does, holding your shoulders as you sway, and brushes you off a bit.

"Apologies… I get a bit excited," he flushes.

"You're-" you clear your throat, "you're fine."

"Anywho, let's all celebrate tonight! I have some o' that fancy whiskey in me cabin!" He suggests.

"Fancy?" You croak.

"Ya know. Fancy! The bottle actually has a label on it!"

"Right… uh, sure. We can do that. Ok."

"Fantastic!" He reaches out for another hug but freezes when you flinch away. He plays it off by grabbing a rope and telling the crew what to do.

You sigh in relief. You love the guy, you do, but goddamn he is strong. Sometimes a hug is a bit too forceful. You were sure he's cracked a rib before.

You stand next to him, waiting for him to let you know what you can do, but he just smiles and sets a hand on your head.

"Ye were wonderful today. Yer arms must be tired. Ye should go rest," He explains.

"What? No, I'm fine!" You put your hands on your hips. He squints at your arms, and you look down and notice they're shaking. You let them drop.

"Mm. Go rest," he instructs and you cross your arms before sulking away to your room.

--

You lay on your bed completely still. You'd been in this position for the past 4 hours. It had gotten dark and you were sure you missed dinner.

Ok, fine, your arms hurt before.

But now you couldn't feel your body at all. Everything was completely numb. Maybe carrying a giant bag of gold coins that was nearly the same size as you wasn't the best idea.

You hear the door creak and your heartbeat speeds up but you literally do not move a single muscle.

"Mate? Y'alright?" Magnum asks. You groan in response. That was supposed to be a "yeah". He walks over to your bed and you manage to move your neck a bit to look up at him.

"I have a feelin' yer bein' dramatic." He chuckles, a deep sound that echoes through your room.

"How dare you," You whisper, your throat hoarse.

"It can't be that bad."

"Not everyone is a seven foot tall mass of muscle."

"There's a bit I'm pudge in here too, don't worry."

"Whatever."

"We're celebratin'. Ye wanna come or are ye gonna lay here for another 6 hours?"

So it was 6, not 4.

"Magnum, boss, cap, mate, I don't think I can fucking move, much less dance with you people." Because whenever there's drinking, there will be dancing. You've been here long enough to know that is a fact.

"Here, I have an idea."

"Wha--" He lifts you up like you weigh nothing and you feel your face heat up a bit. He pulls you into a bone crushing hug. Literally. You hear and feel your back crack in several places. He drops you onto your feet and, again, you sway a bit, and again, he steadies you. You stretch your limbs, sighing.

"Uh… thanks. Still don't think I can dance, though..." You scuff the floor with the toe of your boot.

"Eh, thas alright. Ye can sing, can't ye? Ye know a few shanties?" He asks.

"... a few…" You say with a smile.

"Good! I'm sure they'll love to hear ye," He gently sets a hand on your shoulder. He sets it gently on purpose. You know because he was about to slam it down with a force that would probably dislocate your shoulder, but stopped a few centimeters away and made sure to let it down soft.

"Mm. We going now?" You pat the hand on your shoulder.

"If ye want."

"Bet. Let's go."

--

After an hour or so, you had exhausted your voice and all the shanties you knew. Magnum was right, the other crewmates were very excited to hear you sing. They even chanted beforehand. As soon as they recognized the songs they joined in they joined in. They started dancing after a while, too.

You're sitting by a light in the corner, sipping your drink. They're having a lot of fun, and you can't help but smile. You feel… safety. Comfort. Affection. Love.

You love these people. This is your family. This is a group of people who you might have never known if your life had gone just a bit differently. You thanked whatever being is out there in the universe for giving you this… family. This feeling of pure joy.

You hear loud creaking towards you as Magnum approaches. You tilt your head back to look up at him behind you.

"Oi. Ye alright?" He inquires in a voice much quieter than you're used to.

"Yeah, I'm good," You say, matching his volume.

"Ye were actin' like we were goin' ta haveta saw yer arms off," He teases.

"I thought you were!" You defend jokingly.

"I'da been the one to do it."

"Woulda given me a cup of beer and said 'it's basically an anaesthetic'."

"Well, of ye drink enough…" you both chuckle. You look down at your drink and swish it around in your cup a little. You can feel him staring at you and it starts to make you uncomfortable.

"What is it?" You snap a bit on accident. He frowns. "Sorry…"

"Ye sure yer alright?" You groan loudly in annoyance.

"Yes! I am absolutely sure, 100%--"

"Tell me and I'll buy ye a treat next time we get to shore." You both stare at each other for a moment. Your arms are in midair since you were cut off from your dramatics. He had an eyebrow raised and was looking at you suspiciously. You drop your hands onto the table.

"I feel useless." You say bluntly.

"Wha? Why? Did someone say somethin'? I'll shoot them out o' me cannon right now!" Magnum panics.

"See, this is why I didn't want to tell you!" You sigh and fall back in your chair.

"Wha d' ye mean?" He furrows his eyebrows.

"There's no… nobody said anything, I just… I got a bag. One bag!"

"Aye! An' that was very--"

"Mags, they each got at least two. Some even had three. You got seven. Plus a chest."

"Ok, so we're a little… little stronger than ye, what about it?"

"I'm not… useful to you! I'm not as strong, I'm not good in a gunfight, I can barely talk my way out of anything--"

"Ye talked John out of his potatoes."

"I thought his name was Jack?"

"Eh, he-he never corrects anyone. I called him James the other day and nothin'."

"Huh. But that doesn't count. I know him."

"Ye are useful, and even if ye weren't, yer a valuable… valuable? Yea, valuable member of this crew. I haven't seen 'em dance this much in months. I haven't smiled this much in months. Ye are a very important part of me ship. Crew. Me crew."

"...Mags, are you drunk?"

"Not the point. Wha I'm sayin' is we love ye and now we're attached and ye can never leave."

"Ah, I see. C'mon. Bedtime," You stood up and walked over to Magnum, putting a gentle hand on his arm. He squints at it.

"No," He looks up at you.

"Mags…" You warn.

"No," He crosses his arms and leans back.

"Magnum," You cross your arms. Is he really doing this right now?

"Call me captain," He smiles brightly.

"...I'm not doing that," You can't help but smile back.

"Please?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Why do you want me to?"

"I like it."

"Ok, Mr. authority complex."

"Stop psychoal… psychoan… psy--"

"Psychoanalyzing."

"Yeah that."

"Only if you get to bed."

"...bah."

"Bah, yourself. Stand up."

"I'm a lil tipsy, it's fine." He says, swaying a little. You put your hand back on his arm and he stares at it as you lead him to his cabin.

"You'll thank me in the morning when everyone has a pounding hangover and you just have a headache." You pat his arm.

"Mm. Mate?" He asks, still staring at your hand.

"Yeah, Mags?" You open his door and let him walk in. He looks at you standing in the doorway with this… weirdly soft look on his face.

"...I love ye." He whispers. Ok, that was way too quiet and a very uncharacteristic thing to say.

"Love you too. You're drunk." You repeat.

"I know. I still love ye."

"Thank you. Go to sleep."

"Cuddle?"

"No, you smell like whiskey."

"Please?"

"No. Love you. Go to sleep."

"G'night."

"Night."

--

"Morning, everyone." You smile over your cup at the tired and annoyed faces that walk through the door. Some mumble a "good morning" back, some only give you a wave, some straight up ignore you. Magnum walks in, visibly doing better than the others, and makes his way to you.

"Uh…" He scratches his beard.

"Hm. Let me guess…" you tap your chin with a finger and raise your eyebrows.

"...thank you." He sighs.

"Called it," You tilt your seat back and put your feet on the table.

"Yeah, yeah…" He grumbles.

“Sleep well?” You sip your drink.

“Eh… yeah…” He says after a couple seconds.

“That’s a hesitation I hear,” You raise an eyebrow.

“Mm… dream was a… a little bad…” He sits in a chair across from you.

“Bad? Bad how?” You tilt your head, and the look he gives you isn’t a very good one.

“Eh, jus’… jus’… mm…”

“Don’t wanna talk?”

“Not… really…”

“Ok. Coffee?”

"Aye." You stand up and get another cup of coffee with a little bit of sugar and some whiskey and hand it to him.

"... sugar 'n whiskey…" he says, surprised for some reason.

"Yeah. You like it that way, right?" You ask, worried you'd gotten it wrong.

"Aye, aye I do…"

"...is something wrong?"

"...no. Nothin'."

"You… sure?"

"Aye."

"Ok… I'm gonna… go see if the others want anything." He nods as you walk away.

That was. Very weird.

You shake your head and walked up to John. James. Whatever.

"Mornin'... Joseph." You say experimentally.

"Mornin', Y/N." He smiles. So, he just answers to anything. Great.

"Need anything? Coffee? Food? Drugs?"

"Why would we need drugs?" Another mate asks.

"For your hangovers, duh." You clap your hand on Jim's (Jake's?) shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll spike your drinks." They all thank you at different energy levels as you leave to get their individual cups of coffee. You feel someone staring at you and turn to see Magnum gazing at you from his seat. He clears his throat and turns away once you see him. You sigh and distribute the cups among the crewmembers. One of them stares at you as you hand them a cup.

"What?" You ask defensively.

"He's in love with you." She comments.

"Yeah, I know…" you sigh and sit down at her table.

"You know? What do you mean you know?!"

"I mean, I know!"

"Do you like him back?"

"That's a difficult question."

"What does that mean?"

"It means I love him a lot but he's a greedy bastard with an authority complex and he hugs way too hard."

"The hugs are not that bad." You give her a look. "Ok, yeah, they are."

"Uh-huh."

"You could… teach him how to hug and see where that gets you?"

"I think I'd hurt his feelings if I suggested that."

"Then just… hug him!"

"What? No!" You whisper-shout to get your point across but also make sure Magnum doesn't hear you.

"Why not?!" She whisper-shouts back.

"That's… weird! I don't give hugs! Hugs are not a thing I give! I get hugs I do not give them!" You both stare at each other for a minute.

"You're touch starved," she raises an eyebrow.

"No shit, so is he."

"One hug! That's it!"

"I refuse."

"I'm sure it'll make him happy!" You pause, thinking about it. He did seem a little upset when you flinched at him. You glared at the pirate and she gave you a shit-eating grin back. She knew what she was doing. Fuck.

"One hug." You hold up your finger to emphasize the point.

"That's all I ask." You point at her and stand up from your seat. You walk over to Magnum. He looks up at you, eyes widening for a moment.

"First mate." He nods.

"Captain," You nod back, "Can we talk?"

"...uh."

"Just real quick? Somewhere private?"

"Uhhhh."

"Magnum."

"Ok. Yea, we can… do that." You nod and began walking towards his cabin. After a couple steps you realize he's not following you and turn around. There he is, sitting at his table.

"Mags?"

"Hm? Oh! Comin'."

He makes his way over to you and enters his cabin. You enter afterwards, shutting the door behind you. You look at him, this 7-and-a-half foot giant of a man, fidgeting. Nervous. You squint at him. How are you gonna go about this?

"You hug too hard." You state. He frowns and drops his hands to his sides.

"Oh…" He says, sounding disappointed. Fuck hurting his feelings, he was gonna hurt your organs, goddamn.

"You need… you gotta be softer. More-More gentle. Like… like, uh…"

"I'm not sure I can--"

"Here, lemme-just…" you shuffle over to him and wrap your arms around his torso. You feel him tense up under your touch. You lay your cheek on him and just squeeze your arms a little. You can't reach all the way around, but it seems to be working pretty well for what you can do. His arms are just frozen in the air, and he keeps moving them just a little, like he wants to hug you back but can't. You inhale a little and smell gunpowder, wood, and coffee. It's a comforting smell, mostly because it's just his, and you can't help but squeeze a little tighter and nuzzle into him. His breath hitches and his heartbeat speeds up. You grin.

You're fucking with him. Not on purpose, but it's happening.

You finally pull away after a few minutes, giving one final squeeze to his midsection before finally stepping back. You look up at him, an innocent smile on your face. He just stares down at you, a blush on his face. His eyes are a little foggy, and you start to get a little worried. Maybe that was… too much, too fast.

"Mags? You okay?" You whispered. He seems to snap out of whatever trance he's in at that because he sucks in a breath and drops his arms.

"Aye! I'm alright! I'm going to uh… go now!" He announces loudly and stomps out of his cabin.

You chuckle as you watch him walk robotically over to the front of the ship, almost tripping over himself and yelling at anyone who laughed. You sigh, shaking your head and sitting on his bed.

You'd wait until he told you about his feelings. You'd wait until he was ready. You could do that... You could do that.

You look out the door again, seeing the crew all working, and him just standing at the wheel. He has a dopey, crooked smile on his face and his hands keep twitching like he can't contain himself. He catches your eye and looks at you. You stick your tongue out and scrunch up your face. He smiles wider and it looks like he chuckles. He looks away, embarrassed. You smile again before standing up and leaving his cabin, planning to ask what you can help with.

Hugs are good enough for now.

MASTERLIST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Monday afternoon and Mira Fujioka walked with her sister Haruhi to find a silent place to do some studying.

The girl was stunning, standing at five foot seven inches, she had long black hair, wide brown eyes filled with happiness and love. She was dressed in a pretty pink dress that stopped a little above her knees, she matched it with pink heels and a pink bow that kept her half up hairstyle up. She looked nothing like her sister who had shaggy brown hair and wore a dark purple sweater over a white dress shirt along with black pants and brown shoes. She felt bad but her sister looked like a guy who just didn't wanna try anymore. It was pitiful but it was her sister who couldn't care less what she looked like. It was quite amusing.

As they had to forgo another noisy library, both the girls sighed. "How hard is it to find a silent place?" The black haired girl irked. Haruhi chuckled at her sisters frustration, slipping her hand into her sisters. With a calming squeeze, she tugged her past the library, "Calm down. I'm sure we'll find somewhere to go." As she voiced that they walked by an abandoned music room. "How about this?" Mira asked, looking back at Haruhi with hopeful eyes, not wanting to walk around anymore. "An abandoned music room...might as well since it seems that this is the only quiet place." Haruhi shrugged, opening up the door as her sister peered over her shoulder. Mira realized quickly what a mistake that was as she was pelted with flying rose petals, letting out a yelp as she spit them out of her mouth. "Uhhhh...Haru?.." she said in awe, seeing 6 incredibly handsome men sitting and standing in the middle of the room. "You see the boys too, right?.." She mumbled to her sister who simply nodded her head before seeming to lose her mind, backing up against the now closed door a bit scared. "T-This is a h-host c-club?!" She whimpered out, hand letting go of Mira's, who was busy studying the room and it's occupants, to squirm against the door."

"Oh wow, it's a boy and a girl!" Mira heard in unison voices. Her interest peeked, she focused her attention on the boys. She noticed two orange haired twins, two blond boys, one tall and one rather small, and two ravenettes. She couldn't deny that they were handsome, probably why they're in a host club. "Hikaru, Kaoru? This young man is in your class, isn't he? While the lovely young lady is in Tamaki and I's class." The glasses wearing ravenette asked. The twins answered him in perfect unison, "Yea but he's shy, he doesn't act very sociably, so we don't know much about him."

So the twins are Hikaru and Kaoru...now to match the names to the identical faces.

Mira thought to herself as the ravenette spoke up once again. "Hm. Well that wasn't very polite. Welcome to the host club, Mr. Honor student, as well as you, miss." Mira gave him a soft smile at his acknowledgement of her before continuing to scope out the men as her sister freaked out.

Mister?...oh they think Haru is a boy...I told her to try today..huh that's a pretty vase.

She thought and walked over to said vase, smiling softly at the intricate detail as the tall blond jumped out of his chair, "What?! You must be Haruhi and Mira Fujioka! You're the exceptional honor students we've heard about!"

Mira smiled at his excited voice, Haruhi, however, wasn't having any fun here. "How do you know our names?.." "Why you're infamous. It's not every day two commoners gain entrance into our academy. You two must have audacious nerves to fight your ways into this school." The glasses wearing man said. "T-Thank you?" Haruhi said, not knowing if it was a compliment or an insult. "You're welcome!" The blond said, pulling both Mira and Haruhi into his sides. "You two are true heroes to other poor people! You've shown the world that even poor people can excel at an elite academy!" Haruhi was put off by the physical contact and shuffled her way away, having to pull Mira with her seeing as the sweet girl had no problems with the gentle embrace. The blond tilted his head and followed them, not once missing a beat in his speech. "It must be hard for you two to constantly be looked down upon by others." Haruhi had an annoyed face, shuffling away more, "I think you're taking this poor thing to far." She mumbled, sighing as Mira giggled at her unfortunate predicament. "Spurned, neglected, that doesn't matter now! Long live the poor! We welcome you, poor people, into our world of beauty!" He finished, standing in a charming pose. Mira giggled once again as she was tugged by Haruhi, who began walking away, wanting her to follow her. "We're outta here." Mira stayed put however, not wanting to leave this lovely world they've wandered into. "Hey, come back here Haru-Chan! You two must be like superheroes or something, that's so cool!" The small blond said in a cute voice as he stopped Haruhi from leaving, dragging her back to Mira, as he looked up at them with a happy face.

My heart...who is this person and why is he so adorable..

Mira thought to herself as she inwardly "awwed". Haruhi has different thoughts though. "We're not superheroes. We're just honor students. AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING HARU-CHAN?!" She yelled, causing the cute kid to rub back to the tall black haired guy, who instantly tried to calm him down with a pink bunny plushie. "Haru..why'd you do that?.." she scolded her sister in her soft voice but stopped once Haruhi looked at her with an annoyed expression that was soon wiped from her face at the tall blonds next sentence. "Who would of thought the famous scholar would be so openly gay. I get a young princess visiting us but I've never met a willing young prince." He mumbled, shocking Mira as she slapped a hand over her mouth to keep her laughter in. "Openly what?.." Haruhi asked, looking at the man in shock. "So tell me, what kind of guys are you into? The strong silent type? The boy Lolita? How about the mischievous type? Or the cool type?" He asked, pointing to each boy. When he got to the cool type, Mira noticed that the boy was staring right at her. She tilted her head and gave him a pretty smile before focusing back on the blond and her sister. "Uh...i, uh.... it's not like that! We were just looking for a quiet place to study!!" She exclaimed, slowly backing up. Mira furrowed her brows as she watched her sister move closer and closer to the vase, "uhh...Haru?.." she tried, being drowned out by the blond boy. "Or maybe, you're into a guy like me?" He started, lifting Haruhi's chin up with his fingers, "What do you say?~" Haruhi gasped and jumped back, proving Miras fears true as she knocked into the vase's podium, causing the beautiful piece of art to fall toward the floor. Both girls gasped, Haruhi leaping forward to try and catch it seeing as Mira was too far to possibly reach it in time. Both girls braced themselves as it reached the floor, shattering into pieces. The twins approached Haruhi, standing over her. "We were going to feature that vase in an upcoming school auction!" One of them said. "Oh now you've done it commoner. The bidding on that vase was supposed to start at eight million yen!" The one with a raspier voice stated. Mira and Haruhi both gasped, "What?! Eight million yen?!" Haruhi shouted, starting to count on her fingers as Mira started to pick up the broken pieces carefully, not noticing the glasses wearing person coming to kneel next to her. "How many thousand yen is that? How many thousands are in a million?" Haruhi mumbles to herself before straightening, "Uhhh we're gonna have to pay you back..." She told them, Mira sighing at the mere thought. "With what money? You two can't even afford a school uniform. What's with that grubby outfit anyways?" They asked, directing the question to Haruhi.

Mira gasped softly as a large hand reached down next to her to pick up a piece of the vase. She felt herself blush a soft pink at the mans presence.

I wonder what his name is...he's so handsome..

She thought to herself, as she locked her eyes on him. "Well, what do you think we should do Tamaki?" He asked the blond boy, standing up before offering his hand to Mira to help her up. She smiled to him in thanks, slipping her hand in his as she stood herself, looking at the man in question.

Tamaki...so we've got Hikaru, Kaoru, and Tamaki..

She thought to herself, her blush finally leaving her cheeks. "There's a famous saying you may have heard Fujiokas! When in Rome you should do as the Romans do. Since you two have no money, you can pay us with you're bodies. That means, starting today, you're the host clubs dog and kitten." He said with a proud smirk.

I better not be the dog.

Mira sweatdropped, walking over to Haruhi as she noticed the girl go pale. She let out a yelp as she fainted, "H-Haruhi!" She gasped.

Later that day

Haruhi was instructed to get the clubs groceries which left Mira by herself within the club. She occupied herself with tending to the boys and their guests, not really minding her new job. She went about her time, smiling at the guests, giggling softly at the girls words of praise on her looks, thanking them with a soft blush and a cute smile. Occasionally, she was interrupted by the twins, which she didn't mind. She thought their antics were quite adorable and didn't mind being looped into their games.

As she was near Tamaki and his guests, pouring them fresh glasses of tea she heard a voice speak up. "May I have a word, Tamaki?" She wouldn't be bothered but it wasn't one of Tamaki's endless praises, so it peaked her interest. "I've recently heard the host club is keeping two little kittens without pedigrees." A red haired girl with a smug look said aloud, knowing that Mira was listening. It was then that Mira decided she didn't mind being called kitten, when it was the boy's and their antics, but she certainly didn't like hearing it come out of the girls mouth. "Well, I wouldn't call him that.." Tamaki chuckled. She frowned a bit before her eyes landed on the returned Haruhi, smiling widely at the sight of her sister. "Speak of the devil!" Tamaki started once he saw Haruhi, "Thanks for doing the shopping, Little Piglet, did you get everything on our list?" He asked.

Mira giggled softly at the nickname, walking over to give her sister a welcome back hug, as she handed Tamaki the grocery bag. "Hey, wait a minute..what is this?" Tamaki asked, holding up what Mira recognized as their supermarkets instant coffee brand. "Just what it looks like, it's coffee." Haruhi said bluntly, already done with this club. "I've never seen this brand before, is this the kind that's already ground?" "What do you mean, it's instant coffee?" Both girls said, one of them softer than the other. "It's instant?" The girls on the sofas asked. Tamaki gasped in awe, "Woah! I've hear of this before. It's commoners coffee, you just add hot water." He exclaimed. "I didn't know there was such a thing." "So it's true then, poor people don't even have enough tome to grind their own coffee beans." Two girls stated, the last comment irking Mira a bit. The sweet girl was startled by a deep voice appearing next to her, "Commoners are pretty smart." Kyoya said, appearing along with Hikaru and Kaoru. She learnt their names by finally gaining the courage to ask a little after Haruhi left. "One hundred grams for three hundred yen." "That's a lot less than we normally pay." The twins stated. "I'll go back and get something else. Excuse me for not buying you guys expensive coffee." Haruhi said annoyed. "No I'll keep it." Tamaki declared before standing, "I'm going to give it a try. I will drink this coffee!" He shouted. Mira smiled softly and shook her head in amusement as the girls around him started clapping. "Alright, you two. Get over here and make some of this commoners coffee." He said, walking away. "Oh Tamaki. Now you've taken the joke too far. You're palate won't be able to stomach that crap. You don't have to drink it just because he bought it." Mira heard the red headed girl say sarcastically. Both girls turned to look at her. "I'm sorry. I was talking to myself." They didn't have time to decide if that was true before Tamaki called for them. "We're coming." Haruhi sighed.

"Mira. A word?" Mira heard Kyoya ask, she tilted her head but walked over to him, a little pleased to get away from Tamaki as well as that mean girl. "Yes, Kyoya?" "You are aware that the entire club believes your sister is a male. That doesn't seem to bother you or her?" Kyoya asked, smirking at her from behind his notebook. Mira smiled softly, "Why would it bother me if it doesn't bother her? Both Haruhi and I believe it's more important to recognize someone based off of who they are rather for what they gender as." She told him. Kyoya chuckled softly as he closed his notebook. "Which of them do you think will actually figure it out, is the real question." She said, turning her head to watch the boys, noticing the twins brotherly love as well as Honey and Mori entering the room. She smiled and walked back to Haruhi, who just stopped by Honey and Mori. Kyoya stood a bit stunned. In his family, status always mattered along with gender. So it was interesting to him to see someone with such a pure mindset. 'You truly are an interest, Mira Fujioka' he thought to himself, walking over to where the girls stood.

"Is that boy really a third year?" Haruhi mumbled. "Honey Senpai may seem young and childish but he's a prodigy. And Mori Senpais allure is his strong and silent disposition." Kyoya stated as he stopped next to them. Mira smiled as she watched Honey run up to them. "HARU-CHAN!" He yelled gleefully as he spun her around, smiling as he heard Miras giggles. "Hey Haru-Chan, MiMi-Chan, wanna have some cake with me?" He asked them, sending Mira into a fit of awwws at the adorable nickname. "Thanks but we don't really like cake." Haruhi said as she regained her balance, albeit a bit dizzy. Mira smiled and nodded at her words. "Then how would you like to hold my bunny, Usa-Chan?" The boy asked, holding out the cute bunny. "I'm not into bunnies.." Haruhi said. "Are you saying you don't like Usa-Chan?.." he said a bit sad. Haruhi and Mira both looked at the bunny before leaning down, Mira letting out a giggle as the bunny seemed to blush. "Huh, I guess he is kinda cute.." Haruhi stated smiling softly. Mira and Kyoya smiled knowingly to eachother as they watched Honey look at Haruhi with a knowing look before thrusting the honey into her arms. "Take good care of him, okay!" He said before running back to leap into his spot.

"You'll both notice that our club utilizes each mans unique characteristics to cater to the desires of our guests. Tamaki's number one. He's the king around here. His request rate is seventy percent." Kyoya informed them. "What's this world coming to?.." Haruhi asked, sighing as her sister gave a laugh, "Something interesting in my eyes." Mira responded to her. "And in order to pay off your eight million yen debt with us, you will act as the Host Clubs dog and kitten until you two graduate, oh I'm sorry I meant our errand boy and kitten." He smirked at them both, taking note of Miras noticeable blush as both girls stared up at him. "You two can try and run away if you wish, but just so you know my family employs a private police force of a hundred officers. By the way, do you two have a passport?" He asks them, meaning the girls wouldn't be able to stay in Japan.

Mira jumped a little as Tamaki appeared behind them, "You're going to have to work hard to pay off that debt, my little nerds~" he said in their ears, blowing on them gently. Haruhi yelped and pulled herself and her sister away, slightly hyperventilating. "Please don't do that again." "You're going to need a Make over or no girls going to look twice at you. And you, were going to have to find something to do with that beauty, Kitten." Tamaki said to both Haruhi and Mira. Mira whined in her mind as she blushed once more.

I'm never this blushy..what gives...

"Yea well I'm not trying to get girls to look at me. And don't hit on my sister." She deadpanned. "What? But that's the most important thing. You have to learn to be a gentleman and please the ladies..like me~" he said, holding out a rose. "We just don't think it's all that important." Haruhi said. "I mean all that really matters is what's on the inside right?" Mira asked. "I don't even see why you have a host club like this." Haruhi said, sighing softly in annoyance. "It's a cruel reality, isn't it?" Tamaki started, causing both girls to sweat drop. "It's not often that God creates a perfect person like me, beautiful both inside and out." He says. "Say what?" Both girls say in unison, staring at him with a look of confusion. "I understand how you feel since not everyone is blessed as I am but you must console yourself. Otherwise, how would you go on living? And think about this you two, why do you think they put works of art in museums? Because beauty should be shared with the world!.." As he spoke both girls drowned him out with their own thoughts.

I wonder what he's writing..

Mira thought, watching Kyoya write in his notebook with interest. She was brought out of her thoughts by a declaration made by her sister, "That's it! Obnoxious!" She stated causing Tamaki to go sulk near a podium. "Haru...that was mean!" Mira frowned as the twins laughed, "You're a hero alright~" "Uhh I'm sorry, Tamaki Senpai..your lesson did strike a small chord with us though." She said hopefully. "Really it did? Let me teach you more, my friends~" He said, happy once more. "Boss?" The twins asked. "Call me King!" "You can teach them the basics of hosting, but he is not going to get very far without looking the part, you know. Maybe if we took off his glasses it would help." Hikaru said, removing Haruhis glasses, gasping softly at her wide brown eyes. "Hey I need those! I used to have contacts but I lost them on the first day of school!" She stated, not noticing the speeding blond heading for her. "Hikaru. Kaoru." Tamaki said. Both boys saluted and dragged Haruhi off somewhere. Mira watched in awe as she picked up the fallen Usa-Chan. "Kyoya. My hairstylist. Mori-Senpai, go to the eye doctor and get him some contact lenses." "What about us, Tama-Chan?" Honey asked excited as he pulled Mira to stand with him infront of Tamaki. "Honey-Senpai, Kitten. You two, go have some cake." He instructed. The two frowned and went over to a table, sitting down before digging into some cake. "It's just us three guys..everyone else said they were too busy." Honey said as they pouted, eating silently as Haruhi was made over.

After a bit, Haruhi was done changing and came out. "Is it really okay for me to keep this uniform?" She asked as Mira ran up to her, "You look so good!" She giggled, holding her sisters hand. "Haru-Chan you look so cute." Honey said happily. "If we knew that's how you really look, we woulda helped you out sooner." The twins stated. "Who knows, maybe they'll draw in some customers." Kyoya said. "You know, that's just what I was thinking."

I highly doubt that, Tama..

Mira chuckled as Tamaki upgraded them both to hosts, Mira for men and Haruhi as a host for girls.

"A host?.." they both said, not so sure about their ability to pull it off.

"Kitten, it seems you're already being requested. A few boys from our class came to see you." Kyoya informed her after Haruhi left to tend to her first clients. "Did they? Huh..alright then, I think I can manage." She shrugged, heading off to where the three boys wating for her were sitting, trying to calm her blush before she got there.

It can't be that difficult...Right?

She greeted them with a sweet smile, sitting across from them as she switched her brain to flirt. "Hello, sirs~ My name is Mira, I hear you requested me?" She tilts her head cutely, giving them a happy close eyed smile. The three boys instantly blushed, nodding their heads quickly. "W-We did. I'm Rin, that's Taka, and that's Boku." Rin introduced. All three of them were tall, around six feet, but they looked nothing alike. Rin had silver hair with crystal blue eyes. Taka had black hair and he had hazel eyes that shined golden in light, and Boku had dyed pastel blue hair with green eyes that were shielded by black framed glasses. They were all incredibly handsome and Mira considered herself blessed to have such handsome men even want to indulge in her time. "It's lovely to meet you all!" She said happily, "May I pour you all some tea?" She tilts her head. The three men nodded, asking questions as she served them. She answered all of them flawlessly until Boku asked about her family, seeing as her and Haruhi were siblings.

How do I tell them that my mother passed away and my fathers a transvestite?

She smiled sadly as she finally put her answer together. "Oh well...our mother is no longer with us, and our father is usually at work to support us. Which is why Haruhi and I came to Ouran..we wanted to make a path for ourselves so that soon we ourselves can support our father. Haruhi doesn't quite know what he wishes to do with his life but I want to be an artist. My mother used to paint in her free time and sometimes I'd be her little assistant.." she trailed off, her eyes slowly getting glossy as she felt a tear fall, "I was always happiest with a paintbrush.." she says softly, sniffling softly as she wipes her fallen tear, not noticing the three boys and the host club as well as her sister watching her with a mix of sad and happy looks. Happy on Haruhis end being as this is the first time Mira talked about their mother to people since her passing. "That's so sweet..I'm sure you're an amazing artist.." Boku said before each of the boys smiled at her, "So Mira? Is it okay if we possibly request you tomorrow as well?" "Of course, I'd love that, sirs!" She smiles at them happily.

A little bit away, the host club were watching her and Haruhi with interested looks. "She's a natural hostess and he's a natural host." Tamaki started, watching them both in awe. Kyoya nodded as he kept his eyes on Mira, "No training needed." He responded as he watched her. "Have you forgotten about me, Tamaki?" Kyoya discreetly rolled his eyes at the red heads words, going back to write in his notebook as Tamaki focused on his guest. "Oh, no Princess~ I'm just a little worried about our new host and hostess." He smiled charmingly to her. "Well, that's obvious Tamaki. You sure have been keeping an eye on them." She says. "Oh, of course, I have to. I'm training him to be a gentlemen as well as training her to be a hostess." Tamaki smiles at her before snapping his fingers. "Haruhi, Mira! Come here for a minute." He calla them. Mira excuses herself politely and walks over to Tamaki and Haruhi, "What's up, Tama?" She asks. "I'd like you two to meet someone, this is my regular guest, Princess Ayanokoji.

It's that girl from earlier.

"Miss, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Both girls said with a smile, tilting their heads in sync. Tamaki gasped softly before sweeping both girls in to a spinning hug. "That was so cute! That air of bashfulness was very good! Super good, amazingly good!" He rambled on as Mira and Haruhi whined from being pressed into his chest before they managed to free themselves. "Mori-Senpai, help us!" Haruhi managed to yell out. Within seconds both girls were out of Tamaki's grasp and instead lifted into Mori's hands. Mira giggled softly as she noticed a faint blush on his cheeks.

Now all that's left is for Tama to figure it out~

She thought to herself before he let them both down. "Come on, let Daddy give you a big hug!" She heard Tamaki say. "We've already got a dad, we don't need another." Mira said with a giggle as she smoothed her dress out. Neither of the girls noticed the piercing glare Ayanokoji was giving them.

After a few minutes, Miras guests had to leave so she was walking with Haruhi to find her bag. "Where'd you last put it?" She asks as she looked behind the couch. She stopped her searching as she noticed Haruhi by the window, not answering her question. She walked over and gasped once she saw Haruhi's bag floating in the pond. "I didn't think there were bullies at this school." She mumbled before both girls ran out of the club room to get to the pond.

As they ran they noticed Ayanokoji walking back. "Oh, it's you two." She sneered. "I bet you two love having Tamaki making you over and fawning over you. And don't think I haven't noticed you and Kyoya's looks toward eachother. Give it up. You two will always be second-class citizens." She said before walking away.

Kyoya was looking at me?..

Mira thought to herself before her and Haruhi continued down to the pond. Both girls slipped their shoes off, stepping into the pond to gather Haruhis things. "Haru?" Mira said. "Hmm?" "Do you think that girl was the one that threw your things into the pond?" "Most likely. Don't worry about her, Mimi, help me look for my wallet and necklace will you?" She asked as she eased her sisters worrying. Mira nodded and felt around the pond for the two valuables. The necklace was more important seeing at it was the second half to their sibling necklace that Haruhi owned. Miras was fastened around her neck. The two girls were so occupied they didn't notice the two boys walking up to the pond. "Hey, commoners! You two have some nerve skipping out on the club like that." Tamaki said, standing next to Kyoya who kept his eyes on Mira. "Why is your bag all wet?" Tamaki asked. "I-It's no big deal, we've got it..we just have to find my wallet and necklace." Tamaki slipped off his shoes before staring at Kyoya to do the same until the boy sighed and nodded, slipping his own shoes off. As they stepped into the pond, Tamaki went to help Haruhi, while Kyoya headed over to Mira. "H-Hey, you two don't have to do that, you'll get wet.." Mira said to them. "A little water never hurt anyone. Besides. People are always saying we're dripping with good looks." Tamaki said. Kyoya stood up, holding a silver chain, "Don't think to much on it. He made me do it." He told her, handing over the chain with a smirk.

He may have asked you but you didn't have to actually do it.

Mira thought as she smiled, wading over to Haruhi as Tamaki gave her wallet back. "How'd your bag end up in the pond anyways?" "Oh uhh..I guess I dropped it out of the window at some point." Haruhi told him before all of them stepped out of the pond and headed back to the club room.

A little while later

"Oh really? I can't imagine what I'd do if my bag fell into the pond." Ayanokoji said. Both girls found themselves sat next to eachother and across from her.

Why did she request us when it's obvious she doesn't like us?

Mira thought as she kept rambling. "And you actually made Tamaki and Kyoya search that dirty old pond with you two. You do realize they’re blue-bloods and not commoners, right? The only reason they’re paying attention to you two is because they're trying to turn you into hosts. Don't start thinking they care about you just because they're doting on you." She sneered at them. "We get it." Haruhi said. "You're jealous of us." Mira finished for her. In the blink of an eye, Ayanokoji reached across the table, pushing Mira to the floor and pulling Haruhi on top of her before letting out a scream. "NO HARUHI LEAVE ME ALONE! SOMEONE HELP THEY JUST ATTACKED ME!" She yelled. Mira gasped softly as she looked from where she landed, watching Haruhi closely. "Someone do something! Teach these commoners a lesson!" She growled before the twins dumped two pitchers of water on her and Haruhi. Everything was silent as Ayanokoji realized what they did. "Why did you do that?" She demanded as Tamaki walked over and helped her up, leaving Mira and Haruhi on the ground. "I'm disappointed in you. You're the one that threw his bag into the pond aren't you?" He said. "You don't know that..do you have any proof that I did?" "You're a beautiful girl. But I'm afraid you're not classy enough to be our guest dear. If there's one think I know, Haruhi and Mira are not those kind of people." He growled to her as Kyoya reached his hand down to Mira, "Come on, Kitten." He smirked at her. Mira smiled softly at him, slipping her hand in his as he helped her up.

It's like deja vu..

She thought to herself as Ayanokoji cried and ran out.

"Now how are we going to punish you two because it is your faults, after all." He thought for a second before pointing at them both. "Your quota is now one thousand!"

Both girls gasped, "One thousand?.."

Well, shit...that'll take forever..

Mira sighed as Tamaki helped Haruhi up. Kyoya smiled as he handed Haruhi a paper bag, "This is the only dry uniform we have. Sorry, but it's better than a wet one." He said. "Thanks a lot, you guys, I'm gonna go change." Haruhi said before heading off to the changing room.

"Kitten?" Mira turned to Kyoya, "Yeah?" "Are you alright? You took quite a fall." She smiled teasingly, "Why? We're you worried about me, Kyoya?" Kyoya chuckled, "Merely worried about wether or not you can still work. And I merely calculated how far it was to the ground from where you were sitting." He defended himself. "Kyoya, the only possible way you would of seen me from that spot was if you were actively looking for me. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone you care." She smirked, before heading off to join Haruhi.

'What an interesting woman..' Kyoya thought to himself with a smile as the guests leave and Tamaki goes to give Haruhi some towels.

After the guests are gone

"So..Haruhi, you're a girl?..." Tamaki asked, red faced. "Biologically speaking, yeah." She shrugged as Tamaki went into a panic. "Listen, I don't really care whether you see me as a boy or girl. Mira and i both agree, it's more important to recognize someone on who they are rather than what sex they are."

Mira smiled as Kyoya spoke up, "Well isnt this an interesting development?" "Oh, yeah." The twins smirked. "You know, I thought you were pretty cool earlier, Senpai!" Haruhi smiled at him, not noticing the now tomato red Tamaki that was covering his mouth.

"I could be wrong but we may be witnessing the beginnings of love here, Kitten." Mira jumped slightly at the voice next to her ear. Turning her head she made eye contact with an extremely close Kyoya who held a hand on her waist. "For who? You," She smirks and nods down to his hand, "Or Tama?" She said. "Well have to see won't we?" Kyoya smirked and took his hand away. Both Kyoya and Mira smirked as they thought the same thing they've been thinking all day.

What an interesting change.

(First film. Auradon prep library. 11:00 at night)

Evie: need some help?

Ben: yes please

(She uses magic to get Ben and the four books he’s got under his arms down from the ladder)

Ben: thank you.

Evie: anytime. Now. These are the ones you think can help

Ben: the ones I’ve read. Magic lore of the past century. Four volumes. 25 years each.

Evie: this could work. Still can’t believe fairy godmother let use the magic section. Thought it was off limits.

Ben (not entirely paying attention): it is.

Evie: Benjamin you shady little bastard

Ben (now kind of flat ignoring her): yes I thought so

(Evie looks momentarily annoyed. But then she sees he’s staring at jay)

Evie: you will not get far with jay

Ben: hm?

Evie: well. You don’t have freckles. You’re hair’s not curly. And you weren’t effectively raised by Mal from the age of six. Sorry. (Now fully entering the role of sibling). Now Mal on the other hand. I think she would love to date you.

Ben: I couldn’t. It wouldn’t be fair. I don’t even know if

Evie: she does. Trust me. She does.

Ben: ok.

Evie: does anyone else know or...

Ben: no. Just Doug Lonnie and Jane. Please don’t tell anyone else. Please. Especially my parents

Evie: hey hey. I won’t tell. I promise. I won’t tell

Ben: thank you

——————————————————————————————

Doug (sitting down next to Mal): hey.

Mal: hey bud. Sorry about the rat man

Doug: eh. It’s ok. I’m used to it

Mal: if it helps I’m rooting for ya

Doug: not really cause Evie’s made up her mind.

Mal: yeah well she’s wrong. You’re much better than that fake ass bastard. Soon she’ll see. She will see

Doug: you kinda sound like a super villain at the start of his origin story

Mal: I’m not super Doug my friend. Just a villain.

Doug: you know he likes you right

Mal: huh?

Doug: my best friend.

Mal: ah...yeah

Doug: and?

Mal: I like him too.

Doug: but

Mal: he’s him. I’m. Me

Doug: if it helps I’m rooting for ya

Mal (chuckling): it does actually

——————————————————————————————

Lonnie: whatcha drawing

Carlos: Jay

Lonnie: ahhh. May I?

Carlos: yeah sure

Lonnie: wow that’s really good

Carlos: I learned at Mal’s knee

Lonnie: cool.

Carlos: you’re scared of me aren’t you?

Lonnie: no. No. Yes. Yes. A little

Carlos: eh I don’t blame you. I grew up being protected by a dark fairy and a genie. So people know not to mess with me

Lonnie: ah. Question

Carlos: yeah?

Lonnie (pointing Mal then Evie): what’s their damage? They say their friends but they don’t act like it. What happened?

Carlos: I happened

Lonnie: heh?

Carlos: long story involving a heart rip, shrimp, Evie saving my life and Mal punting her into the barrier when they were thirteen

Lonnie: wow. That um

Carlos: sounds absolutely cockamamie and insane

Lonnie: yah

Carlos: buuuut every word of it is true

Lonnie: and you’re

Carlos: family. Mal’s essentially my mother. And Evie’s the sister she wants to throw in a sack and dump in a river. But she keeps her around cause otherwise I’d be upset. They don’t think I know but I do.

Lonnie: and you don’t blame Evie?

Carlos (scoffing): god no. You try denying your parents when they can control you through your literal heart. I don’t blame Evie. But Mal does. And that’s something she’s gotta work through herself

——————————————————————————————

Jay (plopping down next to Jane): god I hate reading. Do you hate reading?

Jane (looking terrified): uuuuhhhhmmmm....

Jay: wow. You really are scared of us aren’t you?

Jane (tiny little voice): yes

Jay: why?

Jane: because you’re

Jay: vks?

(She nods shamefully)

Jay: ohhhh. You don’t have to be.

Jane: I know. But

Jay: it’s difficult to look past the stories. You think I’m gonna turn into a snake and trap you in an hourglass.

Jane: well I do now!

Jay: I won’t though. Even though it would be really, incredibly, ridiculously easy. Just a snap of my fingers to be honest and the venomous fangs come out to play full force

(He hisses. Jane squeaks in terror. And Jay let’s out an enormous belly laugh)

Jay (still laughing): oh I’m sorry. Ahem. I’m sorry.

Jane: that was mean

Jay (feeling a little guilty): I know

Jane: could you teach me magic?

Jay (cracking his 1000 watt smile): certainly

——————————————————————————————

(Midnight. They’re all packing to go back to their dorms)

Carlos (feeling tired and whiny): jaaaaaaaaaay?

Jay: yeah?

Carlos (throwing his arms up): carry me?

Jay: do you even have to ask?

(He hoists Carlos up in his arms, Carlos buries his head in jay’s neck and they leave)

Lonnie: how long have they been together

Evie: oh they’re not

Mal: not yet anyway

Lonnie: why?

Evie: Carlos is waiting for jay to make the first move

Mal: and Jay is completely oblivious

Lonnie (looking at Jane): oh I’ve been there.

Doug: night guys

Mal and Lonnie: night bud

Evie (purposefully ignoring him): yeah night

(Doug leaves but not before he looks longingly at Evie)

Lonnie: hey uh Evie can I talk to you?

Evie: sure

Lonnie: So you and Chad

Evie (smiling happily): I know. He’s so handsome. And funny. And

Lonnie: a user. And a cad. And a cheater

Evie (smile faltering): what?

Lonnie: chad. he cheats on his girlfriends. Then moves on when he gets bored or they find out. He’s ghosted at leat two we know about. He may have “Charming” as a last name but that’s it essentially

Evie: oh my god. I don’t believe it.

Lonnie: I’m sorry

Evie: I don’t believe that Doug put you up to this

Lonnie: what? No! Nononononononononono! He didn’t

Evie (venomously): Chad is a prince. I am a princess no matter what that taffeta wearing pink bitch says! I deserve this

Lonnie: you don’t deserve someone who won’t treat you right

Evie (voice breaking): if not him then who

Lonnie: literally any other boy

Evie: it has to be a prince. It HAS to be. Anything else is not an option. It has to be him

Lonnie (“mom” mode activated): no. It doesn’t. Oh honey

(She goes to hug her but Evie rebukes her)

Evie (absolutely incensed): you don’t know me. You have NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON IN MY HEAD! I need this. I have no choice I need this. And I’m not going to let you or anybody else take it from me. So keep your pathetic after school special bullshit to yourself and don’t you DARE interre with my love life

(She poofs away in sapphire blue smoke)

Lonnie: I. I’m sorry

Mal: I’m not. She needed to hear it. He’s a dick. Doug isn’t. She should pick Doug

Jane: why?

Mal: because Doug’s my friend. And if she’s with him. Then I don’t have to deal with her

Lonnie: I knew your reason would be altruistic

Mal: ohhhh I’ve never been one for altruism. Back home it’s eat or be eaten sometimes literally

Lonnie: hey funny question. Has Evie ever...

Mal: been interested in girls? Don’t make me cackle kid. Quinlan tried to get her to join her gang sometime last year. But queenie caught wind of it and this is Sparta’d the poor girl. (Fake simpering voice) a prince is only good enough you see

Lonnie: poor girl

Mal: then Antony came along. But Grayson Clayton caught his eye and they joined together. Evie still doesn’t know.

Ben: I’m sorry. That you had to live like that

Lonnie and Jane: I’m sorry too

Mal (smiling in spite of herself): well. My friends and I are here now. And if the plan works. Then me and Jay never have to constantly look over our shoulders to protect Carlos again. I know he knows by the way

Lonnie (aghast): I’m sorry. I swear I tried to

Mal: honey. Relax. I can read minds. Part of my magic. By the way. The compliments very much appreciated but I don’t deserve it Lonnie. The only thing I know of that can repel my magic is iron Jane. And Ben. Think of the arctic. That should help

(Jane looks like she wants the ground to swallow her up. Ben looks guilty. Lonnie looks curious)

Mal: it’s easier to use telepathy here then back home. Nobody’s on constant guard here

Lonnie: the island sounds awful

Ben: QUEEN OF HEARTS!

Jane: huh?

Ben: I uh. I made a notary list. Keeps track of all the children on the isle of the lost

Mal (cocking an eyebrow): impressive. But there’s no use in fetching Quinlan. Once you get sent to Bald Mountain you never return

(An awkward silence follows until Jane looks at the clock and squeals)

Jane: half past pumpkin time!

(She leaves hurriedly)

Mal: pumpkin time

Ben: curfew. Jane’s gotta be back at fairy godmothers suite by midnight

Mal: what’s a curfew?

Ben: oh um. Uh. It’s the time when you have to be in. If not

Lonnie: you get your phone taken away for a couple of days

Mal: what about you guys

Ben: we all have them. Ours were extended for today

Lonnie: it only takes ten minutes to walk back to my room. Hopefully sleeping bitchy’s out cold

Ben: that’s not very nice Lon

Lonnie: you know she’s your ex now. You can badmouth her if you want

Ben: only if I were the dumpee. I’m not. She is. So she can say whatever she wants about me.

Lonnie (not at all buying it): well. Alright. G’night

Ben and Mal: night

(Lonnie leaves)

Mal: and then there were two

Ben: yeah. Heh heh. I liked today

Mal: I liked today as well. Ah

Ben: yes?

Mal: your bloods black. You look like you got attacked by a doctor who monster

Ben (overjoyed): you watch Doctor Who?

Mal: black blood

Ben: right uhhhh. Oh yeah! I chew pens. The ink cartridge must’ve burst and leaked. Can’t believe I didn’t notice it.

Mal: it looks lit it dried about an hour ago. What were you doing then?

Ben: uhhhh (flashback to 11:32 pm when he was chewing on his pen and tuning out Evie waxing poetic about chad in favour of watching Mal talk with Doug). I...don’t...remember

Mal (reading his mind but deciding not to embarrass him): ok. (She takes out a handkerchief) there you go (She starts wiping at the corners of Ben’s mouth. Then pulls away abruptly) here (She hands him the handkerchief and gets up)

Ben: thank you (he finishes cleaning his mouth). Are you ok?

Mal: yea ahem yeah. Always. No. Actually. I’m not.

Ben: why?

Mal: I really don’t wanna say

Ben (realising): oh. Oh god. I’m so sorry. If I’ve ever made you feel uncomfortable I wasn’t my intention

Mal (going up to him and hold his face in her hands): Ben. Listen to me. You did nothing wrong. It’s me. You can safely assume that whenever I’m gloomy. It’s my fault

Ben: why are you gloomy

Mal: because I want something that’s contraband. To me specifically

Ben: not everything’s off limits.

Mal: I’m not here to have fun. Or be happy. I have to. You know what I have to do. And you being here all...we can’t. No matter how much either of us want to.

Ben: ok.

Mal: I’m sorry. But. It’s not your fault. Just remember that it’s never your fault

Ben: but it’s not yours either. There’s nothing wrong with wanting something for yourself. You are allowed that.

Mal: I’m not. That’s just the thing. I’m not allowed anything. That could interfere with her... (practically spitting) plans

Ben: oh.

Mal: you know what I think of you. You know how much I. You know. And that’s all it can be

Chapter 9: Hurricane Katrina? More Like Hurricane Tortilla!

Wish I were thriving in this whole situation by now but it’s been two weeks of dorming and I want my mommy to make my lunches. But I’m just droning on and counting down the days until I can go home.

-Thursday, Hero class-

“...And since Iida-kun isn’t going to be in the Sports Festival” sensei turned toward me “You may sit out of this activity.”

“Can I go to the dorms?”

“No”

“Can I go to the nurse?”

Sensei sighed stressfully “Sure, but you’re not allowed to leave campus!”

I start to hover myself and my school bag “Yay! Later bitches!” I cried out weakly before leaving to the nurses office. I’ve been meaning to go to the nurse but I’ve just been so swamped with all my school work that I hardly have the time!

“Oh? What brings you to my office Iwata?” asked Nurse Eri when I walked in.

I set myself down and sighed “Honestly, I feel like I’ve been ran over by a bulldozer.”

“Come take a seat here” she points at an empty cot “Have you been sleeping enough? Drinking enough water? Diet changes?”

I think about it as she was taking my temperature “Oh jeez, I haven’t been doing any of those things, my diet has defiantly changed.”

She checks my eyes “You are showing signs of fatigue, hmm” she gets up to get something out of her files “Okay, when was your last depressive episode?”

“Uhhhh, not sure” I wasn’t sure since I’m also losing track of the days “a week ago?”

She scribbled something on her clipboard “Okay...When was the last migraine?”

“Never had a migraine” That I did know, but why that question?

“Good to hear....mood swings?”

“None”

“..Rate your quality of sleep 1-5, 5 being the best.”

“A 2.75, I don’t sleep more than 5 hours a night in a weekday” I added because I know they’d want an elaboration “On weekends I try to sleep more but at best I get 6 hours. Occasionally I get a nap.”

“Is this your dorm sleep schedule?” she asked looking up from her writing.

“Yes, at home I get more sleep.”

She puts her pen into her coat pocket “I have to say that, without going into other parts of this sheet, but it seems like you’re experiencing burn-out.”

I watch her get the head sensors “Burn-out?”

“It happens to everyone but it’s dangerous for telekinesis users” she said flipping on the machine “Instead of dampering your powers, it enhances them at a deadly rate.” The machine starts to blip “It looks like you aren’t in the danger zone yet, thankfully. What’s the biggest stress factor now that you’re away from home?”

I sneered “More like, what isn’t a stress factor!” I paused a moment to think of a serious answer “I’d say the workload. Being in two programs is double the homework and I barely get them done in time. Second would be the whole cooking myself food for the day, AND BEFORE YOU SAY JUST EAT SCHOOL FOOD, I’m picky.”

Eri sighed and put her clipboard down “Look, I’m probably not supposed to say this, but that’s what I was afraid of.” She made sure nobody was in the doorway “You’re the first student in this school that’s doing dual program enrollment and they don’t know how to adjust for your needs.”

That was unexpected “What do you mean?”

“The school is just winging it with your education, BUT with this apparent stress ailment with your quirk, we can lessen your workload and other parts of your daily routine” She explained “They have too.”

“Is it because of my mom?” I asked seeing how that’s usually the case.

“In a way, she was the first telekinesis user to attend this school and her needs alone had the school district change the way they do accommodations” They reached for the clip board “And that’s on top of being a donor and credible alumni, the school bends to her will when she isn’t happy with something. She cares so much about youth in hero education because of her experience.” A smile spread on her face “You know, your mom solved a case that involved my abuser when I was a child. If it wasn’t for her, I’d still be under heavy security and not realize my purpose or go to hero school. She paid for my schooling actually! So I’m incredibly thankful for her, wish she’d let us publicly praise her but she declines. There isn’t enough words or gifts in the world that can express how gracious I am, so the best I can do is serve others like she’d serve them.”

“I didn’t know she did all that for you” I was moved by her words “Did you think that you’d be treating her children?”

She stopped her scribbling “No, I always thought you’d lead different lives. But I guess even she didn’t know that it was going to be like this.”

Leaning back into the cot to rest my head “Mind if I just nap here?”

“You may, I’ll make sure you wake up when school lets out.”

I drift to sleep, but it wasn’t a peaceful sleep. Somehow I got this very vivid nightmare of fire everywhere and this tall figure grabbing me by the neck, chanting ‘We could’ve ruled this place together!’ and every-time was more distorted. The deranged eyes froze me and gasping for air, but then a sound like a gunshot rang out that woke me up. I sat up quickly and checked myself to make sure I was okay and that I just had a nightmare. By then it was after school, so I just left. The whole walk to the dorm had me thinking if I seen that thing in my nightmare. One would remember something so terrifying! Or maybe it’s a prediction and I’m gonna get hit with deja vu later?

“Hey, what do you want for dinner?” ask Beizu as I entered the room “It’s my turn to cook.”

“Oh uhhh hamburg steak?” I answered, taking off my uniform “I believe we have enough meat for everyone.”

“That might actually work” he said, getting up from his bed “What are you going to do?”

I give a sigh “Do homework and try to sleep early for once.”

Beizu left the room and I was left alone with my mountain of work. Upon finishing the easy stuff, I glanced over to the calendar... oh shit, my birthday is this weekend! How could I forget my own birthday?! I’m turning 17. No plans or (lets be real) time to do anything to celebrate. Wack! Wonder what my mom did on that day her 3rd year? It’s a good hour until dinner, I have time to do a little snooping. Beizu did say the cube had improvements done, so here it goes!

The room changes into her candy colored aesthetic, and on a bean bag chair was a young Mr Hitoshi and Mom.

“Mmm Hitoshi~” she softly moaned, eyes closed “I wish you could stay longer.”

“It’s almost lights out” He said checking his phone “I’m sure it won’t be a problem if I’m a little late. I’m getting “tutored” by the prettiest and smartest girl in school~”

“Shut up!” Mom playfully hits him “You flatter me too much.”

“It’s true, don’t blame me that I compliment you every chance I get” He holds her tighter “Everyone wants a piece of you but I feel so blessed that I have the entire world that’s you.”

She turns red and nuzzles herself into his chest “If you say so, I love you.”

“You’re amazing kitty~”

Her expression changed to disappointed “Hitoshi, can you just call me by my name?”

“Hm? You don’t like kitty?” he asked, looking down at his chest 

“It’s not that I don’t like it, I just prefer if you’d call me Ita” she looked back at him “Please?”

“Or do you prefer I call you my baby~”

She crinkled her nose “No, just Ita.”

“Aw but I want to call you something special, how about... Love~”

“Ita”

“Babe~”

“Ita”

“My cheeto puff~”

“Creative, but just call me Ita”

“I GOT IT! How about, My world~”

She had enough and just teleported him away. Leaving her slumped on the bean bag chair, she fixed herself so she was sitting properly on it, looking up.

She exhaled “What am I doing?” she said to herself “I wish you’d love me Tenya, I’d be so happy” she closed her eyes “If only I would cross the line and just get the rejection part over with.”

The hologram fizzled out and I was left with those emotions. Mom wasn’t happy with Mr Hitoshi, so why stick it out? I wanted to tell her that my dad does love her and to leave Hitoshi, as if I don’t know the outcome already. She was like me, lost and wanted to get things over with to get to the good part. Wish I had people wanting a piece of me like that, then I’d know who’s interested.

-Fast forward to Summer break-

I’ma keep it real chief, nothing interesting happens because it’s just me suffering for weeks at a time and wondering how I’m not collapsing out of exhaustion. Birthday sucked, sports festival was just quirk olympics, I finally figured out how to use most weaponry and Beizu improved the device so now it has pause and fast forward buttons.

But it’s June, I’m just chillin’ until I have to start training for the showcase. We’re hosting a summer bash and I’m on snack duty! 

“How the hell did my mom navigate around here in the heat?!” I whined, wiping the sweat off my face “And why is the nearest market on the other side of downtown?!”

“Stop your whining! I thought you wanted to go out” Beizu barked at me “Because you wanted to get things ahead of time.”

“Don’t mock me, I know what I said” I groaned as we crossed the street “Come to think of it, I haven’t been here since that one time I was with Gon in drag. Never really got to see everything here.”

“Oh yea huh? That felt like it was last year” he chuckled “but if you can bear the heat a little more, we can look around.”

We visited the candy store aunty Mimi won’t stop raving about. Then to the organic body store my mom gets all of her skin care from. Some other stores that were fairly new but for the most part, from what my mom recalls, most of the downtown area is the same from when she was at UA. We even dropped in the cafe that my parents had their ‘first date’ at...whatever that means.

“I expected this place to be more packed” Beizu pointed at the wall near the register “they pride themselves to be your mom’s favorite and that your dad loves the berry tart from here. They have their pictures up there for crying out loud!”

“I dunno, maybe it’s a slow day today?” I sipped my iced latte “It’s like, 2pm. Pretty sure everyone would be wanting lunch, not cafe sweets.”

Beizu shrugged as he took a sip of his drink “That makes sense...wonder what your parents meant by ‘first date’.”

I chortle “It’s probably something dumb like they so happened to be here at the same time and just hung out” I thought about it more “Or maybe my dad invited her to some coffee just to get to know her better? He did say he liked her way before she realized her feelings.”

“Then would this be a date?” Beizu joked.

“Depends, are you going to ghost me after graduation and later confess your undying love to me on a beach years from now?” I rolled my eyes and laughed “I’m joking, you wouldn’t hold back something like that, not for that long.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, like, you know what you want and you go for it. If you liked somebody, you’d tell them and not get all flustered. If you wanted something done, you’d do it yourself.” I look at him “You don’t overthink your actions or words, I admire that about you. Wish I could be as confident but I’m just a functioning mess.”

“Iwa, I don’t think you’re a mess” Beizu reassured me “You’re wicked talented and never give up on anything! I could never do dual enrollment, let alone be in A class hero and intel!” He put his hand on mine “And, for what it’s worth, you’re an amazing friend. I can’t think of anyone in the world that could compare, who’d go along with my ideas or go through life’s firsts.”

I look at our hands and turned mine to hold his “If you put it like that, then we’re a team” I squeezed his hand slightly “can’t break a pair if they’re like us.”

He looked away quickly “Hold up, I’m blushing” he cleared his throat “That was cute, what the fuck Iwa.”

“That good? Damn, I should write that one down” I took out my phone to write that down “swear I’m not even trying to be suave!”

“What would you say if you were being suave?” asked Beizu, still coming down from his blushing.

“Well, I guess I would do one of these” I prop my head up with my other hand on the table “Oye amor~ besitos for my one and only, then hit them with one of these.” I brought their hand up to my face for a kiss “Then say, Lets save the intimate kiss for behind closed doors~ I can’t have everyone looking at you when I express my love onto you~”

Beizu was frozen in place, redder than ever “That’s lethal Iwa!” He fanned himself “I feel like I read smut past my bedtime, where did you pick up on that?”

“My mom baby talks to my dad when she wants a kiss” I recall from my youth “He says he doesn’t like the baby talk but he blushes like crazy and gives into temptation to kiss her. Basically my mom takes control with the romantic shit, my dad tries and my mom just goes along with it.”

“I learned that my dad took the lead with the romantic stuff” Beizu added “The device showed the times he’d be tired but still give affection to my mom. He’s such a kiss ass to her” he laughed “Did everything for her around the house, basically a house husband when mom had to go to work on his off days. He even built that swing set in the backyard of my house!” his tone changed “He knew I was in my mom’s tummy before he died, prepped the house and everything even though I was months away from being born. Watching him fix up my room made me feel like he really wanted me and excited to be a dad.” He looked at me “I can only hope that if I become a dad, I’ll experience that same level of excitement.”

“Whatchu mean if you become a dad?!” I hyped “You will be a dad! Of course you will! I can already see them kids with pink hair and twisty bodies running around with toy tools and shit, yelling that they gonna fix things just like daddy.”

Beizu smiled again “You really think so? Will you be there with me?”

“Duh, them kids need friends! I’ll bring my kids and they’ll be friends just like we were” I fantasied, still holding his hand “Can you imagine all those mixed quirks? Our partners are going to hate us for being so chaotic natured! OH imagine if one of our kids marry and making us legally family? How crazy would that be?!”

“I do like the sound of that” Beizu shifted his gaze “Dang this place is starting to get packed!”

I turn around to see the line going out the door “Oh shit, we should zoot then” I got up and felt Beizu’s hand gripping mine “Hmm?”

“Can we hold hands the rest of the way to the market?”

I didn’t think much of this “Sure, but you carry the basket when we get there.”

“Deal” he agreed happily as we left the cafe.

We didn’t take long at the market, I always keep my focus when food shopping. Mom always liked taking me food shopping because I don’t ask for things and remind her to get things like rice and eggs. For being very chaotic natured, grocery shopping is the one thing that I refuse to fuck up! Lili gets distracted and lost in the freezer section, Tensei fights to push the cart and Hanaka will either throw a fit to sit with the food in the cart or will beg for things...after a while, it was just me and mom going food shopping because it was stress free. Thank God that I stuck to those good habits because Beizu is someone that doesn’t check brands before buying something. Wonder if this is how dad feels when things aren’t orderly? Wait, that gives me an idea!

Back at the dorms, I borrow the device and head to Gon’s dorm.

“Iida-kun?! What brings you to my dorm?”

“Gon, I need to borrow your room for like, 20 minutes” I asked up front “I need to check something.”

Gon crossed his arms “Well what’s in it for me?”

“I’ll give you this bag of hot cheetos and Ingenium endorsed canned orange juice” I held out the offer.

“Take as much time as you need!” Gon was wide eyed and took the offer “I’ll be in the commons room, snacking.”

I close the door and lock it, and just in case, I pulled the drapes and stuffed a blanket under the door. I had to see what my dad did when he was denying feelings for my mom. After a few weird moments that I glimpsed into, I finally ran into a scene that made me question things. The date was near the end of the term their 3rd year...

“...I was just wondering if you’d like to come to the carnival?” asked Ita

“...yea let me just get my shoes-” responded Tenya, reaching for their shoes

“Cool! I got my little squad of you, Mimi, Jin, Hitoshi ready to go and-”

“Wait, it’s not just us?”

“Well, no, I wanted to go as a group so I can have one last high school memory with yall before I leave to take my exam in 2 days”

“Then I won’t go if Shinso is going too”

“Why? What’s wrong?” she got suspicious “you’ve been distant lately, did something happen?”

“It’s just that” he tightened his fists “you’ve been hiding things from me like you don’t trust me! How can you call me your friend, chosen family, if you don’t tell me everything?!”

“What are you talking about?!”

“About you and Shinso moving in together!” he raised his voice “do you not trust me with that?”

Now that was some hot tea! Dad raising his voice?! He never got that loud with us, no matter how rowdy we got.

“Well, then maybe we shouldn’t be friends!” he exploded whatever he had pent up.

“Tenya what are you-”

“Put some respect on my name! Last name to address me Palma-san!” he loomed over her with anger in his eyes, clearly not himself.

“Let’s talk this out, please tell me what’s wrong” she pleaded “this isn’t like you and I’m scared, talk to me.”

“There’s nothing to be said here!” he turned to finish packing “leave or I’ll throw you out.”

“I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s wrong!”

“You’ve always been the disobedient one” he picked her up, opened his door and tossed her out like rag doll before slamming his door closed.

I gasped at the sight of my dad having the audacity to not only yell at my mom but to physically throw her out of the room and slam the door. It made my blood boil in anger, how dare he hurt the one person that loved him?! Over her moving in with Mr Hitoshi?! He could’ve easily confessed to her and solved everything! Why did mom forgive this and still married him? If I were mom, I’d fight back and never talk to him again. The hologram fizzled away and that calmed me down to remember that my dad isn’t like that anymore. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t show anger, this was a bad memory that changed the way he treated my mom. I guess even dad had some traumas under that seemingly perfect image. I put everything back the room was before I left.

“Iida-kun! Where are you going?” asked Kage-san “Come join us for game night!”

“Yea! We could use someone to even out the teams” said Gon, sweating over the hot cheetos “Please? You can bring your friend too.”

“I, uhhh, have to go to my dorm for the day” I held up my phone to go along with my excuse “Class rep has summoned me for kitchen duty.”

They waved me off without further questions, which was relieving because I didn’t want to explain why I was there or what I saw. I ran to my dorm to tell Beizu what I found.

“BEI HOLY FUCK!”

He sat up from his bed “What? What did you see?!”

I explained what I saw “...like, I don’t get it! Mom unknowingly wound up a love triangle where my dad and mom clearly loved each other and better for each other. And my mom didn’t like Mr Hitoshi all that much but still went as far as living with him after graduation!”

“That is quite the drama that your dad started” Beizu pulled up his phone “But check this out, in your dad’s file, about 3 days after that date you saw” He held out his phone to show me “Your dad got into a fist fight during school hours with Mr Hitoshi. And the tea about that is that the school pardoned it because this was their first offense and graduation was a few days away to really have an affect.”

I look intensely at the proof “No way! Dad threw the first punch too?! This was serious business, but why couldn’t anyone say anything?!”

“Maybe it was different times” Beizu locked his phone “They were in this war with that villain group. Your mom probably didn’t want to get in your dad’s way, he did have an image to maintain for his family, and she was just a foreigner. There wasn’t time to admit the truth and she just went with Mr Hitoshi as something more realistic?”

“But this is my mom, she’d never settle!” I flop on the bed “You’d never hide things from me, right?”

“Never” He laid next to me.

“You’d point things out if I’m being dumb right?”

He rested his head on my chest “Of course!”

“Good, just making sure” I put my hand on his head “I’d hate to repeat what my parents did.”

“That won’t happen, I promise” Beizu looked up at me “I’d never leave your side.”

“It’s what I look forward to the most” I smile “a future with you, no matter what happens.”

This little moment calmed me down. Being roommates was the best decision ever!

FAST FORWARD TO THE AGENT DISPLAY....not much happened between, just better mental health and getting my agent license I guess? OH! I got a reduction in workload! If I had training in my agent courses, I don’t have to do hero training unless I feel like I can take on the workload that day. And thats on top of getting weekly homework from the hero course instead of daily work. Thank you mom for being so powerful that the school bends to your will without saying anything!

“Hey you killed it out there Iwa!” cried out the class rep as I took off my visor in the changing room “The spectators were in awe of that little flight trick.”

“Not gonna lie, thought I was gonna fuck it up” I wiped the sweat off me “I’ve been holding in a nasty fart the whole time.”

“Ew should I leave?” She gagged as she back away from me.

“Naw, I farted in the wing on my way here” I admitted “I strongly suggest not going that way.”

“YO I THINK SOMETHING DIED IN THE WING!” screamed one of our classmates that ran in “How are you guys not throwing up?! The smell is awful!”

The class rep narrowed her eyes at me “You disgust me, I came here to ask you out for some boba but you’re just another fart boy!”

“I DIDN’T WANT TO FART DURING MY DISPLAY!” I stressed my logic “I’m less confident when I fart in front of people.”

“It’s true” Beizu said, walking out of the bathroom “But what do I know, I’m just a fart boy, huh Gee-san?!”

“Both of you are disgusting fart boys with pretty faces!” huffed the class rep “I’m leaving to the stands! Formation time is in 10 minutes!” She walked out and started gagging loudly.

Come the stage part, I didn’t place in the top or anything, but I got my agent number! It’s 88, and that’s what everyone is going address me as when I’m in the field. None of my family came to see me but that’s a given, theres some shit going down in the real world. Mom feels bad for not coming but I told her that it was okay. I know how important these cases are for her to solve, plus it sort of feels like the reality of all children of agents and heroes, of course your parent isn’t always going to be there for school events! But back to me, I get swarmed with questions from agencies about my quirks and my other combat skills. It got me excited for this part of the training, the internship! Mom told me that she had a hard time choosing since basically every agency gave her an offer. Wonder if it’s going to be the same for me?

-Monday after the agent display, Homeroom-

“Okay, I’m passing back your offers” announced sensei after taking roll “No pressure, but I’ll need your decision by Thursday morning. Also don’t feel bad about the amount of offers your other classmates get in comparison” He stopped at my desk and plopped a dictionary thick packet “Think of it as having an easier time choosing.”

“Wow, that’s thiccc with three c’s!” Beizu commented “Gonna crack that thing open at lunch?”

“Yuh, I didn’t know that many agencies were in attendance that day” I said, feeling the weight of the packet “Didn’t think I was that impressive.”

I spent most of my free time that day reading through the offers, but one stuck out to me. Before I went to bed, I saw an offer from the agency Deku works at. They gave me the offer on the basis of “The order of Sir Nighteye”....What the fuck does that mean?! I’m gonna take it but do they have to be that cryptic?!

what makes you feel warm inside?i have a whole playlist of songs that just make me feel warm and fuzzy (a lot of them are just bc of like…personal significance and shit tho !) but yea no definitely certain songs and bands definitely make me feel like that warmth spread in my chest, yknow? for what’s your favorite halloween tradition?jhdskjadha this is a new-ish one but okay. two years ago i dressed up as diane nguyen from bojack horseman for halloween (because i literally own all of her clothes already so!) and it just looked like what i normally wear & no one thought i was dressing up but it was nice because it was so simple and it made me feel like hey at least i’m dressing up somewhat for halloween! so now i like closet cosplay as diane every year except no one i know watches that show so i just say i’m dressing up as myself from today last year, which, technically, i am. so at this point it’s really like 25% diane and 75% self-referentiality which is honestly the ideal ratio for anything ever what’s the last thing you learned?uhhhh hm…i’m not really sure?? i guess i learned what birdbox was last night when i looked it up lmao! as far as like Academia goes i’m a total literature nerd and was re-reading the love song of j alfred prufrock by ts eliot and looked into a particular line further than i had before and spiraled for a bit so i guess that!when’s the last time you felt obsessed? oh god constantly…i hyperfixate all the time it’s awful lmao but recently i’ve been hyperfixating on ……… survivor? the game show??? a lot and like i’ve binged like four seasons in two weeks and know everything there is to know about all of the players and all the history and “edgic” (if any of yall are survivor nerds you’ll know) and just literally everything about it. for no reason. i don’t care about it. what is wrong with me.what’s your favorite article of clothing? leggings!!!!!!! i wear them every second of every day ever idk how i’d live without em
