Description Models, Muscle, and Commoner's Games

"Really?!" the twins practically screamed at me as I threw the tenth dress over the rung for them to catch. "These have to fit. You just don't want to wear them!" they accused.

"Actually, no," I growled as I turned to the final dress. This was getting really annoying; I hated trying on clothes. "Every one of these dresses has been for girls with cutting boards for chests and hips like a pencil."

I heard some chuckling from behind the curtain and smiled to myself a little. It was completely true, too; the dresses that had been able to get over my butt were much too small to cover my chest.

This was the same for the last dress, which wouldn't budge more than an inch above my belly button. I sighed, pulling it off and throwing it over the rung, hearing a collective groan.

"This can't be true!" Hikaru exasperated.

"This has never happened!" Kaoru continued.

Irritated, I ripped the curtain to the side with a glare on my face. The entire Host Club focused on my face, my body – only clad in my bra and underwear - , back to my face, then glued to my half-naked body. After all the years of stripping on the field, not to mention dancing like this in front of a whole crowd, I felt no hint of embarrassment.

"Oi! Do your mom's models have my size? No, they don't because models have no meat on them, no muscle! And I," I said as I waved a hand down my body, "obviously do." I turned from the boys and stalked to the clothing rack myself. "Now I'm gonna choose something since you don't know what to look for!"

I searched through the clothes in the stunned silence of the Host Club. I could feel their eyes burning on my skin, but I brushed it off easily. I found a black shirt that seemed like it would fit me and pulled it out, looking it over.

It was actually a lot better than I had thought it was at first glance. The collar was an inch or so wide and wrapped around the back of the neck, not connecting to the rest of the shirt in the back. The collar came to a point near my collar bone and a little below that, in the middle of the chest area, was a diamond shape cut out from the cloth. The shirt itself seemed like it'd cling to the body, which was what I liked.

"Nice," I mumbled as I pulled it over my head and adjusted it. The diamond cut-out didn't fall too low, but it did show a portion of my cleavage line. Fiddling with the bottom of the shirt, I stepped in front of a mirror and checked it out. I fell in love with it immediately. I didn't have much curve, but the shirt really played them up as well as defining my muscles a little.

Spinning around to face the boys again, I gave an innocent smile to the twins. "See, this fits. Can I keep it?"

I was pretty sure I caught them off guard; all the boys were staring speechlessly at me, a little red in their faces. I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Big whoop, you're looking at a girl. Get over it middle schoolers.

"Uhm, yeah," Kaoru trailed off before shaking his head a little. "Yeah, go ahead and have it, just change or-or something – just get your clothes back on."

"YOU SHOULDN'T SHOW SO MUCH SKIN IN THE PRESENCE OF SO MANY BOYS!!!" Tamaki screamed, grabbing hold of my arm. In my shock, he managed to pull me over to the dressing room, throw me in and swipe the curtain shut. "You can't be too careful, especially with these two perverts here!"

"Hey, who are you calling perverts?!" the Hitachiins yelled. "We're not the ones who grabbed her while she was half-naked!"

"You make it sound like I was being dirty when I was preserving her innocence!"

"Stop yelling!" I raged from the dressing room. I had pulled my skirt and spandex on, and was just shrugging on the white button-up; my new shirt was folded in the corner of the room. I yanked open the curtain, the unbuttoned shirt flying away from my body with the wind. I glared at the three of them for a moment before I started to work on the buttons.

There was grumbling about how I needed to cover up. I scoffed at them. "Oh please. I've been playing soccer for years, and I always have to change. You think I'm gonna find a bathroom every time just because I'm worried about what people are gonna think or see? Give me a break – like I care," I growled with finality.

"Now," I sighed, "I thought of an awesome game while trying on those stupid dresses, but we're gonna need lots of space and stuff."

"Well, this house is big and it's got lots of stuff in it," Honey said, putting a finger up to his chin in thought. I smiled at how cute he looked.

"That's good, but I was hoping for outside," I explained as I walked over to the window. "It's a really nice day, and I don't want to put it to waste."

"What is it you have in mind exactly?" Kyoya inquired.

I gave him a cheerful smile. "Ever play hide-and-go-seek? I was hoping you'd have enough room, but I also don't want to get lost in your house. But I bet your back yard is enorm- yes it is." I cut my own sentence off, going from cheerful to flat as I looked out the window.

The yard was huge. I bet I could fit three or four of my size of house in all that land, and that was with space between each one. Rich. People.

"Well, I guess that settles it then. Let's go outside and play!" I said, perking myself up.

After herding the boys out of the room, I explained the rules to them as we walked down. The twins and Honey seemed to understand pretty easily; the others took a little more explaining. Trying a few times to explain it clearly to the others, I gave up and let the other three tell them.

As we stepped outside, a soft summer breeze bumped into me, carrying with it the smell of trees and flowers. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the scent before turning my gaze to the six boys.

"Alright, now to choose who's it." I poke a hand at my chest. "I can't be it because I don't know this place, so I'll probably get lost rather than find anyone."

They looked like they were going to argue, but after a moment of thought they seemed to agree. Tamaki babbled for a few moments, with a groan and laughter coming from the group, and a moment later he said, "Kyoya's it!"

"You have to count to 30!" I yelled behind my shoulder as I took off between rows of flowers and shrubs. I took turns randomly, not having any clue where I was going. My legs coursed with a numbed pain after working constantly for days on end. If I wasn't in the shape I was, I probably wouldn't be able to walk right now, but after a few years I'd gotten used to it.

I broke into a clearing and instantly jumped back. I peaked around the bushes, looking to see if there was anyone there; it seemed clear. I stood up and looked around. It was a basic rich-person garden: statues, flowers, a fountain, and benches. Shaking my head, I slunk over to the statue, pressing my back to the cool stone and facing the towering shrub in front of me.

I had only been there for a few seconds when harmonic voices scared the shit out of me.

"You know, that's not a very good hiding spot," they said, coming from either side of the statue.

"My god, the statue coming to life couldn't have scared me more," I said, putting a hand to my chest to calm my heart.

"That would never happen," they stated simply.

I faced them and puffed. "Okay, then where are you two hiding, since you're always attached at the hip?"

They didn't seem to hear the last bit of my question. "Well, we're gonna hide with you. You don't know the place so if you get lost, then we're here."

I opened my mouth to object, thought about it, and grumbled to myself. "Alright, well then let's go somewhere else," I said as I pushed past them, taking another turn at a run.

"Ah – hey, wait up!" they called as they scrambled after me. I looked over my shoulder, not knowing I had covered quite that much distance. I guess I was getting faster.

As the twins got closer, I turned again. "Keep up, boys!" I laughed, jogging down another lane.

-F-

"God . . . dammit," panted Hikaru.

"Next time-," gasped Kaoru.

"Let one-,"

"Of us lead."

"We know . . . where we're . . . going at least," they closed together, pulling in breaths. I frowned down at them; I had hardly broken a sweat.

We were hiding under a large tree, the branches and leaves coming down to brush the grass. It was great cover, and we could look through the holes in the leaves to see if anyone was coming by. I leaned on one of the branches and looked up at the tree.

Eh, why not?, I thought. I'm bored. I grabbed another branch and hoisted myself up onto the lowest branch. My feet found a hold and I stood, grabbing the next branch and pulling myself up through the tree. I heard the sound of surprise from below.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Hikaru hissed. "They could find us with you shaking the tree like that!"

"Be careful! You could get hurt!" Kaoru called out softly.

And they think they can pull off the exact symmetry thing, I smiled to myself at their responses. I kept climbing, shouting down at them, "Quit looking up here, perverts!" I laughed as they fell silent, even though I had spandex.

Poking my head out of a break in the leaves, I took in a full breath. The warm air filled my lungs, feeling like I was breathing pure sunshine. I giggled at the thought. Thinking about it for a bit, I decided that the good weather, short practice, no work, no parents, and the fact that it was Friday that was putting me in such a good mood.

"Found you!" Kyoya yelled coolly from the ground below. I felt my stomach drop a little. He was good, and still managed to keep his cool composure. "You too Hikaru and Kaoru."

"Aw, man! I told you we'd be found!" Hikaru shot angrily to me from below. I stuck my tongue out at him and made my way down.

"Hey! Be careful!" Kaoru yelled up, looking angrily concerned when I slipped farther than I had meant to.

"Eh, I'm fine. Watch this!" I said, jumping off my current branch and letting my body drop before snatching onto a lower hanging one. Kaoru looked like he thought I was going to splat on the ground. "It's fine, dude, I use to climb trees all the time," I laughed.

He looked a little irritated. "Fine, get hurt from jumping off trees. See if I care."

I jumped down and landed, hard. I stood and shrugged. Outside of the cover of the tree, Kyoya waited for us a little impatiently.

"Come on, I've found everyone else and they headed up to the back porch to wait for us," he called as he walked away.

"Charming fellow," I mumbled, following after him with the twins close behind.

"Thanks for getting us caught," Hikaru pouted.

I felt myself irk. "You were the ones that teamed up with me."

"Yeah, to make sure you didn't get lost," retorted Kaoru sourly.

"Ugh. If that's how you feel, how come you're still hanging around me?"

They looked at each other over my head. "Kyoya's too much of a sourpuss."

"I heard that," came Kyoya's chilled response. I snickered.

We got to the back porch in a few minutes to see that the other three were sitting at a table sipping drinks. They waved over at us. I listened to all their little adventures and how Kyoya had managed to sniff everyone out while thinking about something in the back of my head.

"Hey, Shay. What're you thinkin' about?" asked Honey cutely. I smiled instantly at him, softening my eyes.

"Are you sure your name doesn't come from the way you act?" I asked him as he laughed. Then to answer him, "Not really a lot. Just thinking about what to do tonight, really."

"Uhm, we're going to your place, remember?" the twins butted in pointedly.

"Actually, I'd hoped you would forget. There's not that much room, or food, and you're all boys. . ." I ended quietly. "Plus, I wanted to do . . . something tonight. But, I don't know," I said, leading them on unintentionally.

"Wait, what're you talking about?" Tamaki asked, his ears pricked as he leaned forward.

"Well, I wanted to go somewhere for a few hours tonight. Late at night," I emphasized. "And you guys are welcome to come, but I don't know if you'll like it. And I'm not gonna tell you and ruin it. But it's a lot of fun, for me at least."

The Host Club exchanged looks with each other. "Alright," they all said together, throwing me off; I thought only the twins could do that.

"Whatever you're doing tonight, we'll accompany you, and in exchange we get to spend the night at your house," the twins said like they were offering me a one-time deal.

"What?! Sleep over?!"

"That's what you said earlier today."

Oh. Right. Trapped in my own words, damn. "Okay, fine you can all sleep over." I checked the time. "How about, everyone goes home and gets ready for a long night of fun and then we'll meet up here. Just wear normal clothes, and something you can move in, too," I said as my feet danced up the steps to the house. "Let's meet back here in . . . two hours or so. Then we'll pile into my car and have fun."

"Wait!" Honey called, stopping me. "How late is the fun gonna last?"

Adorable, I thought. "Probably until three or four." Confused looks from the boys. "In the morning." And their faces dropped, disbelieving. I laughed. "See you guys in two hours!" I ran through the house, remembering last second to grab my brand new shirt.
