Kings of the Host Club

Ari swayed back and forth lazily, ‘dancing’ as much as he could while seated on a bar stool. He was on another blind date; this one had been set up at a bar that was fairly nice without being one of those overhyped hipster types. He’d come fairly early on purpose, so he could grab a seat at the bar itself, which was near the dance floor and so had the best view of the live band. 

He’d already had a few dolls come up to ask him to dance, but Ari was determined to at least meet his date before looking for some other type of fun for the night. He’d ordered a fruity cocktail so he wouldn’t feel bad about hogging two barstools, but he’d barely touched it so far. He hummed along as the band started to cover a popular pop song, and checked his phone to confirm that their meeting time was fast approaching, and his date could be here any minute. 

The only descriptors he’d gotten were “purple”, “Sloth”, and “Glassy ears”, so he hoped the other bun had enough information to pick him out of the crowd when they got here.

The soft cascade of lighting as the popular music flowed outside of the bar doors. a soft violet succubun had to check his letter again just to make sure he had the right place. He looked up at the neon signs, "Neon Nights". That name seemed to fit the bill! He seemed to have entered with just a few minutes to spare too, thank god. Mewmi might have gotten distracted on the way to the bar. He might have showed up earlier if he didn't stop to buy a few sweets for later. They were tucked away in his small bag that also ironically had a few things that run on batteries...Like a microphone! In case of a karaoke emergency.

From what Mew's friend said, he was looking for a pink Lust Bun named Reverie. Mewmi was very excited to meet this new person. He always loved meeting new people and from what he was told, this person was just as much of a social butterfly as Mew was. His tail wagged a little thinking that maybe if he didn't find a partner for the night then maybe he might make a new friend. Mew should get used to these kinds of interactions though as he had recently become a new host member a month or two ago. Mew would look around the bar searching for this bun before spotting Ari's soft pink coated ears at the bar with a drink already. He seemed to be saving a spot for Mew which made him rather happy to see. 

Although as he drew closer, he would come to his surprise when his blind date looked somewhat familiar. Mew felt like he recognized these pretty pink bunny ears from somewhere. Although maybe it wasn't time to focus on that. Introductions! That's what they needed, Mewmi smiled sweetly, as his tail swayed to the music, "Hi, it's nice to meet you! Are you Reverie?"
~~

Ari turned to take in the bun that had called his name. He was a gentle violet colour, with glittering star motes in his Glass and a pretty face like Ari’s own. “Hi, yes~” He pushed the stool he’d been saving closer to the other bun. His date seemed bubbly and energetic, and definitely fit into the bar’s playful atmosphere.“They didn’t give me your name. What can I call you?” 

~~
Mew moved over to the offered seat, hoping up into it since he was a little shorter than average and wiggled back into it. The violet doll had chosen a rather appropriate outfit for a bar, High waisted shorts with cute star buttons, a lavender violet crop top button up with matching star buttons, and a leather harness over the top of his crop top. The violet bun was very much like a ray of sunshine, he beamed as he offered his hand for a handshake, “ My name is Mewmi but everyone calls me Mew.”
His soft violet eyes took in the other male. His Blind date was very handsome, he felt like he wasn’t the only one that thought that though. The lovely soft pinks of his ears and hair like cherry blossom petals. His playfully flirty way of moving, it was like the two were in the middle of a dance instead of a conversation but Mew didn’t know all the steps. Mew’s eyes sparkled with interest as he complimented him, “Your eyes are so very lovely like sweet pink lotuses. It makes it hard for me to want to look away. Why did you sign up for a blind date? I’m sure that you would have no trouble finding a partner.” 

~~ 

Ari took the other bun’s hand, holding it for a touch longer than necessary before taking his hand back. “Mew? That’s cute~” In fact, everything about his date was cute. His fluffy hair, the way he talked, the way he used stars as his signature motif the way Ari did with hearts. His body language even reminded Ari of the way a Phloof looked; soft, bouncy, and like he was always excited to have fun. 

Ari smiled as Mew complimented him, surprised that it was his eyes that Mew found interest in. Some buns were a bit put off by the deep blackness that took up most of his eyes, choosing to focus on his lips or body instead. Others saw the mischief in them before they saw the beauty. But Mew had compared them to beautiful flowers with all the sincerity one would use to tell a partner they loved them. 

“You flatter me! Saying that as if you think you aren’t a sweet treat yourself.” Ari leaned his elbow onto the bar, crossing his fishnet-clad legs and gently brushing his shin against Mew’s leg as he did so. “But to answer your question, I love meeting new people, and these blind dates give me a chance to talk to people that aren’t regulars at work.”

~~ 

Mew noticed the other’s hand lingering on his. Ari’s hand was rather soft and warm it felt..Comforting. But then again Mew was a big lover of physical affection so anything involving physical touch made him feel in better spirits. It also meant that he was a little more sensitive to it as well, always wanting to lean into touch or seeking out any sort of physical affection he could get. Ari seemed to be very friendly but they had just met so time could only tell what Ari’s true personality was like. Even the way Ari said Mew’s name like a song instead of a word, it was so very nice to his ears. His eyes beamed softly as he heard the other call his name cute, “Thank you! I think your name is very elegant and lovely! It fits you well.” He smiled sweetly at the other.

Mew couldn’t see any sort of negatives in this new person, in fact, it was quite the opposite, he felt rather attracted to learning more about him! Mew wasn’t the type of person to see the negative in anyone, no matter how rude or crass someone was, he always saw a positive lighting. Seeing Ari’s smile caused Mew’s tail to curl with delight behind him.

The Sloth Succubun was surprised when Ari complimented him back, calling him sweet and brushing his shin against Mew’s in a subtle flirt. He would lean in towards the other like a flower in need of sunlight, “I wanted to say this earlier, but you do look a little familiar to me. What do you work as? Maybe I’ve seen you at your workplace?”

—----
“I’m part of the waitstaff at a host-club style cafe!” Ari furrowed his brow, tilting his head as he studied Mew closer. He was certain he would’ve remembered somebody like this, but then again, Ari saw a lot of people every day. “We have live performers sometimes, did you maybe come to see a show and I was serving a table near you? I don’t think I would forget spending time with you~”

~~ 

Mew looked surprised when the other bun admitted he worked at a host-club cafe before chuckling melodiously, “I see now~…” His violet eyes took in the other soft pink Bun rather playfully. Mew’s tail caressed the side of Ari’s leg as he spoke to the other with a playful look about him, “I’m a new Host. My title is an ‘Idol Host’, I just started a month and a half ago but I haven’t gotten on stage yet because there was a scheduling mess up. I perform next Saturday for the first time. We must have missed meeting each other until now because I’ve been in private rooms.” 

It seemed as if the bar was getting a bit more rowdy from the change of music. A particular drunk patron beside the back of Ari’s seat seemed to be bumping quite often against the back of it. As the drunk patron tried to drink while dancing too close to the bar.  By the fifth time, Mew’s leg moved over and pressed in between Ari’s legs. His foot resting against the bottom of the chair and both of his muscular arms took a hold of either side of Ari’s seat before he pulled him up close. Mew’s voice came out almost like a low pur, “I hope you don’t mind sitting closer to me, I can hear you so much better this way…With No interruptions.”  His leg stayed inbetween Ari’s legs, making it impossible for their legs not to touch.

~~

Ohhhhh… As soon as Mew said it, Ari remembered a conversation he’d had with Kyril about the new host that had just been hired. He nodded. “That’s right! Forgive me, I’ve also been quite busy in the private rooms lately, with it being Matentines and all ~” 

Ari was trying to focus on his conversation with Mew, but another bun, presumably drunk by the way they were dancing, kept bumping into him. Ari opened his mouth to say something to them, but all that came out was a soft surprised noise as he suddenly found himself almost nose-to-nose with Mew. It took him a moment to realize that Mew had pulled him, chair and all, closer to him to get him away from the drunken stranger. Ari gave Mew a coy smile, placing his hand on the other bun’s surprisingly muscular upper arm. “No, I don’t mind at all.” 

~~ 

Mew smiled softly, “No, it’s okay, It sounds like we both have been busy! This holiday really has been going by like a whirlwind.” 

Mew heard the other’s soft surprised sound as he had pulled him forwards, his ears perking a little to the noise. He was going to laugh a bit but then Ari began to touch him more. A special weakness of Mew’s. The bun was built like a Himbo but he wore such cutesy soft looking outfits that it was hard to pay attention to that unless you were up close and personal, and well now Ari was up close and personal. Mew let him keep his hand on his arm as his tail hooked onto the other bun’s and curled around it, “Are you hungry? Would you like me to order you something to eat? Or maybe, would you like to share a drink with me?”

~~

Ari smiled at the feeling of Mew’s tail winding around his own. Ari used his tail to gesture a lot when he was talking, and he specifically intertwined his tail with those he was flirting extra hard with. He wasn’t sure if Mew was as calculating with his body language, but Ari had no reason to complain either way, twisting their tails closer together. 

He also noticed that Mew had phrased his question as if he was happy to treat Ari tonight, which was always a bonus. “I’m not really hungry, but I’d love to see what you like to drink. We should get to know each other better if we’re going to be working together ~” 

~~

The feeling of the other bun wrapping his tail around Mew’s tail tighter was very comforting to him. He enjoyed it quite a bit. He ran his fingers across the counter space flirtatiously as he responded back, “I’m a hard liquor kind of person but I love my fruity drinks the most. My two favorites are ‘Sex on the Beach’ and a ‘Cinnamon Roll shot’. Have you had them before?”

He would get the Bartender’s attention and order the Sex on the Beach  as well as two shots drink before keeping his soft violet eyes on the other male’s eyes, “Do you your own host club title? Or is that a secret that I’ll have to learn along the way?” 

He had a mischievous glint in his eyes when he said that but it disappeared a moment afterwards. Surely this sweet violet bun wasn’t being devilish, right?

~~ 

“Sex on the beach is nice, the drink is even better ~” Ari said playfully. “I haven’t had a Cinnamon Roll shot before, but I trust your taste.” 

At the other bun’s second question, Ari just smirked. “I’m king of the host club, Mewmi. I am my own title.” The bartender dropped off their drinks, and Ari picked up one of the shots and held it up to Mew. “‘Reverie’ means ‘daydream’, darling ~”

~~ 

Mewmi chuckled softly, "Well, As long as sand isn't involved both are very good to me! Last time I had an experience like that, I was finding sand for days." 

The Violet bun was rather surprised when he heard that Ari was the 'King of the Host Club'. That must mean he was his boss in some way, does this mean he shouldn't be out flirting with him like this? Well...If Ari seemed fine with it then Mew was going to go along with it too. Mew would speak with a flirtatious tone as he softly tapped their shot glasses together in a cheer, "And what a wonderful daydream you are~ I hope I never have to wake from your grasp." 

Instead of drinking his own, he would graciously place his shot to Ari's lips and pour it into his mouth flirtatiously.

~~ 

Ari’s eyes widened, not only at the burn of cinnamon hitting his tongue, but also at Mew’s bold move. Is that how he wants to play? Not one to be upstaged, Ari grabbed the back of Mew’s neck and brought the other bun the few inches it took for him to be able to press their lips together. The tip of his Devil’s Tongue snaked forwards and gently pried Mew’s lips open, after which Ari tilted his head enough to pour most of the liquor into Mew’s mouth. 

He pulled back and licked his lips. “Trying to get me drunk, Mewmi?” He winked, taking his own shot. 

~~ 

Mew had a flirtatious look about him as he purred out, “Good Bun~” but definitely was not expecting Ari’s reaction. Grabbing the back of his neck and pulling him forwards to reveal his long tongue. It made Mew shudder with delight but that wasn’t even the start of it as he felt Ari push his tongue into his mouth. His hands moving over to the other doll’s waist and holding onto it. Mew willingly took this as Ari poured the alcohol into his mouth through their kiss, he let out a small groan but would swallow the alcohol. Mew wiped at the side of his mouth of a little dribble from the kiss before speaking, “No, not by alcohol at least. I might be planning something else though.” 

His hand would run down Ari’s thigh before speaking again, “How can I convince you to skip on the bar and come home with me? I feel like we might have more fun in a more…Intimate setting then here.”

~~

Ari unwound his tail from Mew's, waving the bartender over to give them their bill. He glanced sideways at his date, raising an eyebrow. "I think you'll find I've already made up my mind, no convincing necessary ~" His hand went to where Mew was touching his thigh, and squeezed the other bun's hand. "Let's see how good I can be, yeah?”
