I frowned as I stared in the mirror, my tail wrapped around my waist, ears flat against my head, scars, burn-marks, old and fading bruises marked my body. I sighed softly, finished drying my mop-top hair and got dressed in black Supernatural sweatpants and a black long-sleeved v-neck. I walked out, grabbing a beanie and slipping it on my head. I trotted downstairs and started making breakfast. "Hey Baby Boy, did you take your meds?" Ally asked, "Mm-hmm." I nodded, she smiled and plopped into a seat, Jay was sat beside her, followed by my parents. "Morning guys." I hummed, setting out breakfast. "You're adorable, smart, and can cook. Any guy would be lucky to have you." Ally teased, I rolled my eyes, a small smile playing at my lips, "Whatever." I huffed, she chuckled, the doorbell chimed, I sighed and went to answer the door. I found the entire Host Club staring back at me. I shut the door, "Go home. It's the weekend." I shouted and walked back to eat. "Who was that, kiddo?" Dad asked, "Some kids from school." I replied, Ally snickered, Paps and Jay chuckled, "Invite them in then. They came all the way here." he replied, I sighed, Ally opened the door again, "Come in guys. Micah's just tired this morning." she smiled, they walked in awkwardly, I finished and went upstairs to my room to finish up some homework.

"Are you okay?" Ally asked, "Yeah," I muttered, "You sure. Because you're not usually like this. What's wrong?" she asked, I sighed, pulling out my phone, "That's what's wrong. I've been trying to get it off my mind since last night." I explained, she read the message. "She's been pestering you?" she sighed, "Yeah. She won't stop bombing my phone. I'm about ready to change my number." I muttered, she smiled, "I'll go show this to your parents. Get some of that work done, okay Baby Boy." I nodded, she pat my head and left. I sighed, dropping my head onto my desk.

I woke up to someone tapping my shoulder, tiredly, I sat up, Takashi. I expected the monsters again. Not him. "I wanted to check up on you." he stated, I nodded, "I'm fine. Just tired, like Ally said. I don't get much sleep." I explained, he nodded, then suddenly lifted me up over his shoulder, "Whoa, what the hell Takashi?" I shouted, "They wanted you downstairs too." he stated simply, I glared at the floor, holding my beanie on so it didn't fall off. He carried me downstairs. Ally, Jay, and the twins laughed while Honey ate cake, Tamaki was in his emo corner, Kyoya was talking to Dad and Mom about business, and Haruhi was standing awkwardly. "Wanna set me down Takashi?" I sighed, he did so silently, I noticed his cheeks were slightly pink, I shrugged it off, "You're adorable when you're angry, you know that?" Ally teased, "I was sleeping perfectly fine before you guys had him drag me down here." I lied, I never slept well. Even if I looked like it. She smiled and pat my head, "And what kind of friend would I be if I hadn't disturbed that beautiful slumber?" she did it on purpose. 'Thanks, Ally.', "Thanks, dork." I huffed, she giggled, wrapping her arms gently around my neck from behind, resting her chin on my head. "You love me you know you do." "Yeah, whatever." I muttered. I saw everything change. Monsters started appearing, 'She doesn't love you. No one ever does, or ever will.' the voices started up, my body started to tremble as they started, reverberating in my head. Making me doubt everything. 'They came here to make fun of you.' 'They don't really like you.' 'They hate you. You're a freak of nature.' 'No one would look twice.' 'It's your fault your Mother hates you.' "Shh, you're okay Micah. Let's go to your room." she cooed, I nodded, she guided me upstairs as my head began to throb. She shut my door behind us, having me lay down, her lap as my pillow. She pulled off my beanie, gently rubbing my temples. "Whatever they're saying it's not true. You're cute, smart, bad ass, skilled, and nice. Seriously, anyone that you fall for is lucky. Anyone you trust will help you. I love you, Micah, so does Dad and Mom, and your parents, the Host Club, and Jay too. Even thought you guys just met each other. They love you buddy. I can see it." she smiled softly, "Don't let those monsters bully you so much. They don't know what they're talking about." "Why won't they just go away?" I whispered, "It's not fair." she smiled, "I know Baby Boy. It's never fair. But that just means you have to work double hard to achieve your goals." I nodded. "Thanks Al." I murmured, "No problem, Micky." she hummed, scratching behind my ears, I leaned into her touch, "You're a good guy, you deserve so much better than this." she sighed softly. "Don't you get tired of wearing that beanie?" she asked after a while, "I got used to it" I hummed, she chuckled, "It's been a while hasn't it?" "Mm-hmm." "You need to let your ears and tail out sometime. It's not good to go against your own nature." she said softly, "But... what will they think." I murmured, "They're your friends. You've known them for about a month now, and you're always a great judge of character." she replied, kissing my forehead. I nodded, she tussled my hair and pulled me downstairs, I fidgeted, nervously twitching as Jay looked at us wide eyed. Paps and Dad must have left, the others were still here though. I let my tail swish side to side as they stared at me in quite shock.

[Ally's P.O.V.]

Micah fidgeted, "Awe my darling son is so cute!" Tamaki shouted, glomping Micah in a hug. I chuckled, he shot me a glare, "I hate you." "Love you too buddy." I smiled, feeling a familiar pair of arms around my waist, "He seemed happier now that he's shown everyone." Jay commented, "I knew he would. He just needs to open up a bit more." I smiled, he chuckled, kissing my cheek softly. "H-hey.. Hands off the tail." Micah huffed, wrapping his fluffy black tail around his waist, the others and I laughed, Honey giggled, Micah's eyes flickered towards the window for a second, he sighed and let a small smile grace his lips. Tamaki went to hug him again, "Oh hell no. He's mine!" I shouted, pulling Micah into a hug. Tamaki went to his emo corner, Micah laughed softly, causing me to smile, wrapping my arms around his neck gently, placing my head on his, "See, they adore you." I whispered, his ear twitched, "Thanks Ally."

The Host Club decided to stay the night, Micah's parents agreed. I sighed, "Dorks." "Micah, kiddo. Can we talk to you for a moment?" Oliver asked, "Sure." the neko replied, somehow managing to get out of the twin's hold. He followed Oliver into Hisoka's office. I frowned, knowing the look in Oliver's eyes. Tamaki, the twins, and Honey eves dropped in on their conversation. "Guys, let's just wait till their done. If they didn't mind us knowing they would've spoke about it around us." I said, "It's true." Haruhi added, Mori picked up Honey and carried him over to the cake. Jay grabbed Tamaki whilst I dragged the twins away.

About an hour later Micah walked out, he flashed a fake smile before heading to his room. We exchanged looks, I stormed upstairs and into Hisoka's office. "What the hell happened?" I growled, "Ally, sweetheart, it's nothing to worry about." Oliver tried, "It is when he has that look. You know how much I know him. He can't hide anything from me. Neither can you. Now what happened." I snapped, Hisoka sighed, "It's his Mother. She's trying to get custody over him again. They said she's changed, she's been through rehab and all that bull-shit, and now they're trying to take Micah." he explained, I growled, "After.. after all that bitch has done to him. Hell. Fucking. No. I'll kill her if that's what it takes. Spare me the consequences, because I will do it. I'm not going to sit back and watch my best friend, no.. my brother, crumble down because of her!" "We know darling. How do you think we feel about this. I don't want to loose Micah either." Oliver replied, Hisoka cracked a confident smile, "She can try. But she's not getting my son. I'll die before she does." "Kyoya, dear, would you check on Micah?" Oliver asked gently, Glasses nodded and left, the rest of the Host Club staying behind. I sighed heavily, Jay wrapped his arms around my waist, his chin against the nape of my neck, "Calm down Allison. You can't do no good when you look like you're ready to slaughter someone." he said softly, barely above a whisper, "Tch, you're lucky you're you, or else I would've punched you." I muttered, causing him to kiss my cheek lightly, "I know."

[Kyoya's P.O.V.]

I approached Micah's door, it was wide open, furrowing my brows, and adjusting my glasses and entered. "Micah. Are you alright?" I asked as soon as I saw him laying on the bed. His ears twitched, "Yeah." came his muffled reply, I smiled, taking a seat at the side of his bed. He shifted, giving me more room. I noticed his hands twitch, across the back of his hand was a red mark, like he'd rubbed his thumb against it roughly multiple times. "Would you like to talk about it?" I questioned, "No..." he mumbled, "Would you like to talk about something else then?" I replied, "Like what?" he asked, uncovering his face from the pillow. His eyes were red rimmed and puffy, I smiled slightly, "Well there are are a lot of things we can talk about. But..." I trailed slightly, setting my book aside, "..I'd like to talk about us." "What do you mean?" he asked, "I want to ask you out. On a date. Tomorrow night." I answered, "Kyoya, I..."
