Chapter 8: Homesick
Hey guys welcome back to my channel〜 we have big news! I'm apparently now a performer for a Host Club! It's so stereotypical I actually might die hahahaha-
Okay yeah sorry I'll get back to the story. Come on Hinata get your shit together.
"Hinata! We're going to have you preform for the Host Club!"
"P-Preform!?!?" I cried.
*insert confused pikachu face*
Oh holy shit balls of snickerdoodles.....what the fuck have I gotten myself into...
***Time Skip brought to you by LMAO THIS IS SO STEREOTYPICAL LMAO I KNO***
Apparently rich kid Kyoya got together a whole fricking stage with his army. Holy shit. Rich kids are insane. Is this the true power of Kyoya *dun dun dunnn* ew
"You're gonna do so well dear daughter!" Tamaki tried to back hug me, but I pushed him away *heh, rejection*. The smell of flowers and roses were too strong for me; I ain't gonna go sneezing right before I preform.
"Isn't this going a bit too quickly? You just brought this whole 'preforming thing' up like 5 minutes ago and I never even agreed to this." I sweat dropped. Not that I even had the time to agree because once Tamaki mentioned it I looked to the side and I already saw like FBI sum agents building a whole fricking stage. Like damn.
As the last of the Ootori army trickled out of sight, Kyoya turned to me. "It's alright if you don't do this. I was going to deduce your debt by 2 million, but you'll manage without, right?" He smiled menacingly.
This little bitch-
"You....." I clenched my fists. "....alright then, fine."
I thought for a second. If I were to do this, I would need a special something. "Do you happen to have a guitar?" I grinned.
***Time Skip brought you by
Help me please whoever is reading this right now give me sum dat inspiration I'm actually dying***
Uh so a part of me wanted to play the "To Be Continued" riff because of certain obvious memey reasons or a meme song to crash the party. But of course, I wouldn't want to face the wrath of the Ootori Army coming after me and my family like "FBI OPEN UP!"
What is with me and all these references....This isn't even funny anymore...
So I decided to go with maybe a song people would know. Well actually, there's a slim chance anyone in the crowd would even know this song because all they ever listen to is shitty classical music :/
I sipped the last of my bubble tea that miraculously appeared out of nowhere and settled my self down.
It's going to be alright Hinata.....you'll reward yourself by going to a Ramen Shop afterwards and doing the Spicy Ramen challenge. Or should we do the Giant Ramen Challenge.
I decide to do both. But then postponed those plans to next week when I realized the money I had on me was to go shopping for my family. Eh, I'll just buy some YakiTori on the way home.
"Alright Ms. Nakamura, you're all set for going on stage." Kyoya said, eyes off his pineapple laptop. "Are you sure you can play the guitar and sing at the same time?" He questioned doubtfully.
Yes sir, I understand the whole
Holy Shit I didn't know that commoners had the ability to MULTITASK (?!?!) #bigsuprise #shocked #4reals
But it's because I'm a mere commoner that I can do this, so don't you look down on me and my social class you damn glasses rich kid.
Yeah, sure I'm set....even considering the fact that I had ten minutes to prepare.....
I stepped onto the stage. The lights in the room dimmed. Then, the spotlight was on me. Everyone fixated their attention towards me, awkwardly standing on stage.
I readjusted my guitar strap once more and checked the volume and quietly strummed it one last time to see if the strings were in tune. I slightly coughed into the mic, checking if it was on. I gripped my pick tightly between my two fingers.
I'll sing my life into this song. Because just so maybe.....I might relate to it in the moment.....
I glanced towards Kyoya and mouthed my count to three.
One,
Two,
Three

Homesick by Dua Lipa
Lyrics: Here, where the sky's falling
I'm covered in blue
I'm running and I'm crawling
Fighting for you
When the rain stops
Then, darling, what will I do
And I know I go all in
But why do I
You give me a reason
Something to believe in
I know, I know, I know
You give me a meaning
Something I can breathe in
I know, I know, I know
It's a bittersweet feeling
Longing and I'm leaving
I go, I go, I go
But I wish I was there with you
Oh, I wish I was there with you
There's a crack in my window
A bird in my room
Angels all over
That watch over you
When I'm walking on water
All my dreams have come true
Still, nothing means nothing
Without you, you
You give me a reason
Something to believe in
I know, I know, I know
You give me a meaning
Something I can breathe in
I know, I know, I know
It's a bittersweet feeling
Longing and I'm leaving
I go, I go, I go
Tell my heart to lie
But I know deep inside it's true
That I wish I was there with you
That I wish I was there with you
Oh, I wish I was there with you
You give me a reason
Something to believe in
I know, I know, I know
You give me a meaning
Something I can breathe in
I know, I know, I know
It's a bittersweet feeling
Longing and I'm leaving
I go, I go, I go
Tell my heart to lie
But I know deep inside it's true
That I wish I was there with you
That I wish I was there with you
Oh, I wish I was there with you
(Lmao I was originally going to do some Asian song I like cuz duh it's in Japan my bros, but this request came in and I'm like damn this sure does fit the gosh darn mood alrightie let's do this so ye)
I finished the ending riff and slowly strummed the last chord.
I had finished the song. Phew.
I wiped away my teary eyes. I guess I really do feel Homesick.
I slowly glanced up to look at the crowd. They all simultaneously blinked at once.
Then, unexpectedly, broke out into applause.
"Wowie." I thought (lmao)
I was actually slightly proud of my self. Have I been blessed by god to have not made any mistakes whatsoever during the song?! Well I don't believe in god but you get my point-
I bowed politely and stepped off the stage.
"I'm impressed Nakamura. We'll discuss later on when you'll perform every week." Kyoya said. HOLY SHIT HE ACTUALLY LOOKED UP FROM HIS COMPUTER FOR ONCE ADJSKSKSKSK-
"Thank you." I replied contently, then went straight into panic mode when I started thinking about what he would have said if I had made a mistake.
Y i k e s.
I start to crave tacos...for no specific reason *cough cough* the author is hungry while writing this*wheeze choke*
I walk off stage and set the guitar back into its case, then find a place to settle in the room. Haruhi gestures me over to her table with a few other girls, who seem very pumped up.
"Nakamura San, that was amazing!"
"I was so very impressed!"
"Was that in a different language?"
The three girls next to Haruhi bombarded me with questions very excitedly. I sat down in a seat, feeling proud of myself and a bit flustered receiving all of this attention.
"Thanks, thanks." I smiled and scratched the back of my head sheepishly. Thank the lord only a few kids came up to me. It would've been chaotic if a whole group came....
I guess I kinda jinxed myself, because a bunch a girls (and a few boys) came over to my table to talk to me as well.
And I guess that made me feel a bit.....happy.
When the host club was closing, everyone left one by one, saying that they'll come see me again the next time I preform. I thanked them once, more, then went to put all the rest of the equipment away.
Tamaki twirled over to me happily.
"Hinaaataaaa〜" he exclaimed joyfully
"Daddy is so proud of youuuu〜" he went to hug me, but was surprised when I didn't kick him again.
"Thanks." I smiled at him.
Tamaki froze for a few seconds, then disintegrated into dust and fell to the ground dramatically.
"Tama-Chan died!" Honey Senpai giggled, playing around with the remaining dust.
The twins roared in laughter.
"The lord died!"
"Nyahahahahahaha!" (lmao that kinda sounds like Kuroo's laugh)
"Im happy to see Ms. Nakamura opened up to the club a bit. And received a bit of attention from our guests as well." Kyoya adjusted the glasses on his face. "Now then, would you like to officially join the host club?"
"I thought I didn't have a choice." I chuckled a bit.
Kyoya smiles back (somehow).
Hey, maybe this host club isn't as bad as I thought it would be-
"I have one problem though. It's your clothes, Ms Nakamura."
I spoke too soon-
"What about my clothes....?" I asked, making it slightly obvious I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Hinata dear, do you really not like the female uniform of our school? I think it would suit you." Tamaki, who came back to life said.
I stood silently, looking off to the side. Would I really have to wear that puffy lemon uniform?
"Hey," Haruhi spoke, seeming like she had an idea. "Why don't we just let her wear the male uniform?"
"NO!" Three fairly obvious members of the host club whom I don't have to name yelled. Then realized what they had said and tried to explain. "I mean I-"
"Yeah, yeah I get it." I sighed, then glare at the trio. They sweat drop. "But if Haruhi can wear it, why can't I?"
"It's a different circumstance!" Tamaki squealed "though daddy wants to see Haruhi in the female uniform....." I hear him mumble. Well of course he does.
"How about we just modify the male uniform Tama-Chan, Kyo-Chan!" Honey-Senpai said excitedly.
"That's brilliant senpai!" I complimented.
"Ehehehehe...Usa-chan thinks so too.." he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, then nuzzled his head into Usa-Chan.
"Well I'm alright with it. I'll make sure to modify it to your liking." I emphasized that last part a bit angrily, as Tamaki and the twins shuffled a bit away from me in fear.
"Well, I'm done for the day. Goodbye. I will see you all tomorrow." I opened the door leading out into the hallway, then turned around and bowed to the club politely, then left.
Maybe I will enjoy this after all...
.....and maybe I shouldn't try to jinx myself again.....
