[h1][color=firebrick]Yuuhei Seiho[/color][/h1]
Saturday Morning - Newspaper Club Room

[hr]

It took a fair amount of restraint to not laugh at his visitor’s slight retreat, but Yuuhei lost that tenuous grasp when she offered him an application for the club. The hearty chuckle subsided quickly and the president measured up the white haired girl with a now critical eye. Never in a million years would he have expected the shy looking girl to be interested in joining the Newspaper Club, but here she was, catching the normally perceptive blond totally off guard. Part of him wondered why someone like her would be interested in becoming a member, but he was simply far too excited from being surprised to care all that much.

[color=firebrick]”Are you now?”[/color] Yuuhei asked her good naturedly with a large smile as he plucked the application from her, turning away from her and holding it up to the light the same way one would hold a dollar to confirm it wasn’t a counterfeit. [color=firebrick]”Ishikawa Natsume-chan, eh?”[/color] The name certainly didn’t ring any bells, but reading a little further confirmed his suspicion that she was indeed a first year. Man did it feel good to be right. 

Wait, he was forgetting his manners. Again.

[color=firebrick]”Ah!”[/color] He looked over his shoulder so that he could meet Natsume’s eyes. [color=firebrick]”By the way, I’m Seiho Yuuhei, the president of this fine club. And over there,”[/color] he said, gesturing at the dark haired girl in the corner that seemed to be trying to make Yuuhei’s head explode with her glare alone, [color=firebrick]”Is Oshino Saika-chan, my vice president. She may look unpleasant, but don’t worry, she only rarely bites me.”[/color] While it was said teasingly, Yuuhei was certain that there had been times that Saika had honestly thought about biting his head off all too literally. But he liked to believe that was beside the point.

With a flourish, the president spun around to face Natsumi and dropped to one knee, the hand not holding her application over his chest. [color=firebrick]”The newspaper club would be happy to have you,”[/color] he professed with all the urgency of a man that was proposing. [color=firebrick]”I admit that we are a bit of an unruly bunch – well, at least I am – but I can guarantee that if you stick with us, your days will certainly become interesting.”[/color] And perhaps for the first time in the entire conversation, Yuuhei had a look that was completely genuine and serious. Too bad most of its impact was lost given the completely over the top pose he was striking, but hey, he was trying dammit.
