Daichi loves nothing more than entertaining guests with Kyoya, and today is no different. The tropical theme has them both shirtless which is a treat for everyone involved. Everyone.

Of course, Daichi sees Kyoya naked every day, but it gives him some new kind of thrill to see him bare some skin at school. It's all he can do not to drool over his senpai who stands at the juice bar, while the younger is left at a table of clients.

"Oh Daichi, I can't wait to see how handsome you'll look at the dance," a girl says.

"What collar do you think you'll wear?" another asks.

It takes a second for Daichi to think. "What... senpai wants." He smiles fondly at his senpai. "He -- always -- he picks what -- picks -- I l-love."

The girls could be heard squealing miles away.

That evening as the day is closing, the host club is returned to normal, and they're all gathered around a long table. Kyoya is typing something onto his laptop, and Daichi is standing next to him, looking very intensely at the screen. Tamaki, however, is moping in the corner with a bowl of ramen.

"Hey boss, why don't you stop eating that commoner's ramen and come over here to help us with the party planning?" Hikaru suggests.

"Does it really bother you that princess Kasuga has taken a liking to Haruhi?" Kaoru asks.

"He shouldn't be surprised. She's had the illness for a while now, hasn't she?" asks Kyoya. Daichi nods, not moving his eyes.

"What illness?"asks Haruhi.

"She's got the host-hopping disease," replies Hikaru.

"AKA never-the-same-boy-twice disease," Kaoru adds.

"Usually, our customers choose a favorite host and see them regularly. However, Princess Kanako tends to change her favorites on a regular basis," Kyoya explains.

"That's right," Honey says. "She started with Chi-chan, and before she chose you, she was with Tama-chan."

"Oh, so he's upset because I took her from him?" Haruhi deadpans.

"Shut up! I couldn't care less."

But Tamaki really does care. Still, there are other problems to deal with. Mainly the dance. Haruhi receives special instruction from Princess Kanako on how to dance. Quite frankly Haruhi's terrible, but she isn't the problem. A set-up is needed between Princess Kanako and Mr. Suzushima in order to fulfill the duty of the host club and make every girl happy.

The night of the dance comes quicker than expected, but our hosts are ready. The evening starts off wonderfully. Daichi however cannot cling to Kyoya like he usually would since this is such an extravagant event.

For some time he just stands staring at Kyoya dancing. A few girls approach him then. "What are you doing, Daichi?" one asks.

He sighs with a smile and red-dusted cheeks. His eyes are half-lidded and gazed over, but it's obvious who his focus is. "Dances handsome." The girls immediately know he's talking about Kyoya.

The girls all blush but one steps forward. "We all want to see the both of you dance together, but... would you settle with being my partner?"

Daichi takes his eyes off Kyoya and turns to the girl. He opens his mouth and closes it a couple times. Forming words usually isn't this hard, but he wants to make sure he gets his point across just right. "Senpai would be very disappointed in me if I turned down a dance... I'm not settling. You exceed my standards one hundredfold."

She blushes, and Daichi knows he got his words right. He smiles, both because she's happy and because he's proud of himself.

Daichi takes her warm hand in his cold one and leads her to the dance floor. That's how his night starts. She isn't the last girl he dances with, and he's glad for it because he's having so much fun.

After some time, Kyoya walks over to Daichi and his current partner. "Excuse me, princess," he says with a charming smile, "but may I cut in?"

She nods and steps away as Kyoya takes Daichi's hand and waist. A crowd of girls is now watching and blushing. "Senpai," Daichi says nervously, "don't know this."

Kyoya smirks. He's made Daichi dance the girl's part. "You don't need to. Follow my lead, and everything will be just fine."

And that's exactly what Daichi does. He's never enjoyed a night so much in his life. He couldn't care less if Haruhi kissed some princess. Daichi has danced with his king, and that's all that matters.
