Right now, there are only happy stories here
The very happy stories of just the two of us
Charming in his innocence, Ai gives off the impression of naivety and ignorance. He seems protected from the outside world, always greeting with respect, bowing and smiling, without a care in the world. He's always bringing cookies or brownies or treats over to his guests from the kitchen, always listening to what the elders say and trying to please everyone. But in his private time, Ai becomes older. He sheds the persona of 'Ai' and becomes 'Natsu'. While Ai remains forever a child, Natsu is the boy who has been forced to grow up far too quickly. Natsu is a broken individual, wandering around without a goal or a position in the world. He is not bipolar. It's more, Natsu becomes Ai when a guest is around. In his own room, or when he has time for a break, Ai becomes Natsu. They are one and the same. Only one has been frozen in the state of a child and the other has had his childhood taken away. That is, not to say, that Natsu is not cheerful or optimistic. Natsu is far more experienced than Ai. The persona of Natsu knows more than he should at his age. Sometimes, though, the line distinguishing the two faces begins to blur.

Right now I’m writing such a happy story
But it is all just a wish still
Born into a relatively wealthy family, Natsu was left to the care of his uncle when both his parents perished in a train crash after the bullet train derailed. He was five at the time, and barely even remembers what they look like now. The only memory he has of them is of his parents kissing him good bye as they left to go on that fateful trip. His uncle took him in and abused him constantly. Natsu was berated, insulted, beaten. He covered his arms with long sleeves and never wore shorts, even in the summer. Then came the day Natsu was diagnosed with diabetes. He was ten, and his uncle's doctor had been worried about the boy, how skinny he was, how he seemed dehydrated all the time.
Once he was diagnosed though, the abuse only seemed to get worse.
He befriended one of his uncle's young, wealthy friends and it was this friend that took him out of his uncle's house and into the streets of Japan. As it turns out though, this friend had only wanted to use the sixteen year old boy to make money as a sex slave to businessmen who were unsatisfied with their marriage and wanted to try something new. By this time, Natsu was already almost broken - to hear the news that his presumed savior had turned against him broke his trust in humanity and broke his spirit.
Before anything could happen, though, Natsu managed to escape. He seemed to have no will to live at this point, and was close to taking his own life. However, he had hidden in the basement of the soon to be Chihana Host Club. He saw the manager once, saw some of the other hosts, saw how happy they were and realized he could do their job.
And so, six months into the birth of Chihana, Ai was born. First, though, Ai was a cleaner. The pretty flower boy that walked around cleaning up after the older hosts. Natsu began to build his client base that way. Natsu wanted his host appearance to be completely different from the personality that was really his. He wanted the guests to be happy, and wanted to appear happy for them. Slowly, little by little, Natsu's will to live was transferred into Ai. Now Ai can't imagine dying - but Natsu thinks about it every night.
