Imagine Haruhi randomly feeling the chaotic influence of the Host Club and deciding to bring cascarones to a club meeting.
“Aaand what are these again?” Hikaru asked, voice full of judgment as he stared at the brightly colored eggs.
“These are cascarones.” Haruhi said, and picked one up. She turned to Kyoya, but the look in his eyes made her see a lifetime of debt and despair, so she turned to a safer option. She crushed the egg in her hand just before it made contact with Mori’s head, and released the egg shell and confetti, ruffling his hair to ensure it wouldn’t fall out too easily.
The twins’ eyes widened in excitement with a glint of trouble as they immediately picked up an egg each.
“Everyone has two cartons.” Haruhi said solemnly. “Use them wisely.”
Chaos and destruction unlike any ever seen at the Host Club quickly ensued.
There is no such thing as brotherhood or allies when a cascarones battle takes place. Tamaki was the subject of an uprising against the king. Kyoya lost all inhibition and went after the little loli boy who ran up the Host Club bank account with all his purchases of sweets. Mori also had beef with the same little loli boy, especially after he chose cake over his own brother, and Mori was left with the metaphorical “egg on his face.” Mori simply decided to return the favor.
Haruhi allowed her inner “mischievous type” to take over, and while she wasn’t quite brave (or stupid) enough to crack confetti in Kyoya’s hair directly, she did sneak over to his bag and hide a few. That night, when Kyoya swung his bag to the ground at home and heard a distinctive “crack,” he assumed it had been the twins and vowed to make them pay. Everything went according to Haruhi’s plan.
Tamaki, bless his heart, tripped over his own feet while trying to escape the onslaught of eggs, and crushed half his carton. Distracted by the pretty colors, he pranced about, desperately trying to fling the already crushed egg and confetti pieces on to the other Host Club members. Unfortunately, a window was open, and most of the confetti ended up back on him.
Hikaru made the “mistake” of finding a carton of regular eggs, which promptly resulted in everyone running for cover and ending the cascarones fight.
Because Haruhi made the error of introducing the eggs inside, it took over a week for the Music Room to return to some resemblance of its former, non-confetti egged self. Three months later, Hikaru found a few traces of confetti and a singular egg stashed away in the piano. Rumor has it, he’s still waiting for the perfect time to attack Tamaki.
