Ouran Second Gen (The Host Club is now closed, But please feel free to stalk with cookies and commoners coffee!!)

Pax heard Belle and hesitated. He took a trembling breath and stopped the tears and wiped furiously at his eyes. He breathed in before straightening himself out and walking towards Belle's voice. "Belle?" he offers quietly as he walks to her voice. He runs into her and smiles a little. "Sorry if I worried you. I needed a breather. Zephyr can be a bit much at times." He says cheerfully. He gave one of his shit eating grins that the group had grown to know so well. He ruffles the back of his head.

Zephyr was surprised by the sudden leaving of his brother, but when Belle followed, he stayed put. He looked over to the girl and offered a kind smile. "Yes, dear?" he asks curiously, tilting his head a little bit. "How may I help you?"

"Um, we couldn't help but notice the you and Pax are close to Belle, so um, how long have you all known each other?" The girl asked, looking at the ground as if it was some super personal question.

Belle smiled. She could tell he has been crying. He couldn't exactly hide it from her, but Belle decided not to bring it up. "I always worry." Hesitantly she pulled him in for a hug. It was weird not that they were older, but she still cared for him. "I have to get back. Are you going to stay out here or do you want to come back with me?"
(Sorry if it's not too well written. I'm a tad busy.)

He chuckles. "Pax and I have known Belle since we were little." he replies with a happy tone. "She's like a sister to us."

He smiled a little bit before hugging her back. He knew Belle could see right through him, but he was glad she didn't argue with him. He held onto her, and smiled. "I think I need a few moments. I'll return shortly, don't worry.
He says softly.

"Do you want me to scold Zephyr for you?" Belle chuckled and pulled away, with a smile. Of course he probably wouldn't want that, but she might as well joke about it and make him laugh. Then what the girls came to mind, asking her if she liked any of the guys. Her face turned a bit red. She didn't necessarily know, but just the thought made her embarrassed. She has always been a tomboy, and never thought of anyone like that, and no one probably though of her that way either. Shaking her head she put the thought to the back of her mind.

Pax chuckles, "Feel free to whack him in the back of the head for me." He says quietly and fidgeting a little. "Thank you, Belle for coming after me." He says softly. He bows a little to her. "I'm going to go on a walk. I'll be back." he smiles kindly before turning on his heel.

Zephyr was concerned about his brother, and you could see it in his eyes, but his customers talked to him he had no choice to stay. He knew that Belle had it handled.

Belle ruffled his hair before bouncing off. Zephyr was so mean to Pax sometimes. She opened the door with a smile and her girls ran up to her. "Is Pax okay?" Belle was taller than most girls. Which could be another reason for no one liking her. Patting them on the she hummed. "Yeah he's okay, don't worry." They all sighed with relief and went to sit down. Before Belle sat though she gave Zephyr a look saying that he needed to apologize. "We heard that you are a childhood friends with the twins." Oh, they did? She took another glance at Zephyr before turning back to the girls. "Yep, we're all really close." She wasn't sure what else of what else to say. Why were they so interested anyway? A girl with short black hair and bright blue eyes spoke up first. "Um, does Pax have a girlfriend." Ah, it makes more sense now. "Not that I know of." She looked up at the ceiling thinking. "Does he like anyone?" Belle shrugged. The girls wanted to get closer to them, and they were going to use her to do it. Oh well, not like she was new to it. "Sorry, neither of them have told me about any of those things. You'll have to ask them yourself." The girls were a bit disappointed, but understood.

Pax walked quietly, humming to himself. He had a beautiful voice. One of an angel underneath his broken soul. But he never sang. He hated singing in front of people. He had always felt like a clown. Or that people were annoyed by him. Pax did not have a girlfriend. He didn't really want one, nor did he think that anyone would be interested in a quiet soul like him. Everyone wanted Zephyr. He was fine by that really. Zephyr was popular and had more attention and respect from others. Pax, however did not.

Zephyr saw Belle's glance and shrugged hopelessly. It's not that he didn't want to apologize but Pax was so sensitive. He was just telling the story to make the girls laugh and get Pax's attention. He felt like he was lifting everything since Pax rarely spoke. He signed softly and continued talking happily with the girls.

Belle sighed. Even if they were twins, the two were complete opposite. Belle felt bad for Pax, but it was a brother thing that they needed to fix on their own. Belle went back and started talking to the girls again. Any talk of love at this point she tried to avoid. Belle didn't want to think of that right now. "So Belle I heard you have siblings. What are they like?" Family was another thing she hated talking about. "What about you lovelies? It's boring just talking about me, tell me about yourselves." (Sorry it's short. I wasn't sure of what to write.)

(It's fine)

Pax returns to the room, taking a deep breath before entering. He gives a cherry smile, forced, of course. But it wasn't obvious. In fact it looked like a real smile. "I'm back. I apologize for my sudden disappearance." He days quietly as he bows. He walks to his twins side, but gave him the cold shoulder, focusing on his notebook. Zephyr sighed quietly. He didn't want to set off the mood so he continued to chat happily with the girls, Pax only answer occasionally.
