The Calm Before The Storm [OPEN]

[Kyoya Ootori]

"Humph... This won't do at all...", Kyoya muttered to himself as he flipped through a magazine of designer curtains, his finger fiddling the last page he was on as his eyes went through each of the curtains that were displayed, a slight displeased, but calm, look on his face as he discarded the possibility of putting those curtains on the music room. It wasn't like they weren't pretty or too "commoner-like" for the room the Host Club held their activities in, actually, if a commoner had curtains like these, people would assume they were wealthy but just living in a very simple house, but in Kyoya's mind he could not picture them representing the Host Club and thus tagged them as unworthy. Everything had to be perfect for the guests after all.
The Shadow King handled everything around the club, from the treats to the tea, passing through the tea sets and events, everything was plotted by him, with the exception of the "missions" the President of the club pulled out of his hat every now and then. It gave him something to work on and bestowed him a break from the regular school activities.

He sat alone on the couch in the great and luxurious Music room, the fresh cut flowers in front of him stood in a vase, a sight that would relax the guests as they sat down with their chosen hosts and got what they had come there for. Kyoya awaited the arrival of someone as he entertained himself, browsing the magazine for a decent pair of curtains to replace the ones that were, despite being completely fine and expensive, were starting to grow plain through his eyes, thus the need to buy new ones. The guests deserved a perfect time spent in that room and every little detail, no matter how small or trivial as it sounded, was important to satisfy their guests. What would happen if they grew bored of the curtains unconsciously? That would probably affect their disposition of coming to the club, even if they didn't pay attention to those details.

With a slight sigh, the Vice President of the club closed the magazine and placed it on top of the table, only then to reach for his laptop and place it in front of him. After turning it on, he proceeded to navigate through it, going over the expenses and events he already has saved in there. Despite doing this countless times, he continued to do so because everything had to be perfect to the last tiny and almost insignificant detail. It was his job after all...

Akina sighed as she wlaked around the school a little bit before it was going to end. She walked down the hallway, her feet seeming to lead her towards the third music room. She placed her hand on the handle and turned it and opened the door and saw a rather dashing young man sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine. She saw him get frustrated, close the magazine, and pick up his laptop and open it up. She grinned and realized that this must be the hosy Kyoya Ootori.

She walked more into the room and shut the door quietly behind her. She padded lightly around the couch to where he was sitting and she sat on the couch across from her. "Hello Kyoya. I'm sorry to startle you, but you seem frustrated about something. Is there anything I can help you with?" She smiled gently offering her assistance to him. She opened her schoolbag and pulled out her own laptop and opened it and typed rather quickly trying to finish her paper that was due the next day.

[Kyoya Ootori]

As Kyoya's mind was busy going through the file that had the Halloween event all laid out, completely focused on finding errors or things that would be the event's undoing, he failed to notice the girl that had managed to slip through the door and into the music room. In all honesty, the boy did not expect anyone to enter that room at that time, seeing that the Host Club was not open at the time due to the fact that some had classes to attend to, but the door was unlock most of the time; this was Music Room 3 after all.

Before he knew it, a girl was taking a seat in front of him on the other couch in front of him, blue eyes looking upon him. He did not show any signs of being startled, merely looking from his laptop, grey eyes looking through the glass. He gave her his usual calm and cool smile and replied; she was probably referring to his aggravation over the curtains, "Greetings Akina-hime. Don't worry you did not startle me, I was merely flipping through the magazine in search of something. I thank your kindness but it's merely a trivial matter and I'll attend to it shortly.", he then maintained his smile, polite and as charming as usual.

"I'm afraid the Host Club isn't opened yet Akina-hime. Most of the hosts are preoccupied with classes at the time.", the boy said, though by the time he had finished his sentence, the girl had already pulled her laptop and started typing rather quickly. Kyoya pushed his glasses up gently with his middle finger, assuming she had work to do. "I see you are preoccupied yourself... If you require my assistance I'd be happy to help.", he said calmly, just before returning his gaze back to his laptop monitor, though this time, he wouldn't check the Halloween event now however... He had something other in mind he wanted to check.

Using the touch pad, the made his way from the Halloween event file to the costumer database, only to insert the girl's name and make her file pop up on screen, his left index finger always touching the ESC button but not pressing and waiting should the girl decide to try and see what he was doing. He figured it would be rude of him to be checking her file with her standing in front of him, but it was his job to keep himself updated and there was no better way to do so than to check the database to see if there have been any changes. What she didn't know wouldn't hurt her, plus he wanted to check something.

Akina looked up over her laptop screen and resumed working a moment later. She sighed frustrated and kept deleting and typing the same sentence over and over again. She sighed gladly once she finally got the words she wanted in the sentence. She blew out a breath of air upwards causing her bangs to lift and fall moments later. She stretched in tiredness and decided to take up Kyoya's offer for assistance. She stood up and walked over to him and waited for him to look up at her.

She peeked at his computer screen and realized he was having trouble choosing decor. She supposed it was for the next Host Club gathering. She smirked and knew which one would go perfectly if only he would allow her to help him. She was a girl after all and girls usually tended to know what decor went well with themes. She cleared her throat and saw him look at her a moment later. Kyoya, I don't suppose you would mind taking a look at my paper would you?[/color]
