An Ouran Christmas
Disclaimer: I don't Ouran High School Host Club.
Note: This is a one-shot that I wrote for a fellow Risembool Ranger on deviantART, DarkJujuMagumbo, as a Secret Santa gift.
The campus of Ouran Academy was covered with a layer of soft, glittering snow, an indication of the upcoming winter season. With winter came Christmas, and with Christmas came—
"Um…" Haruhi Fujioka blinked several times when she opened the door of Music Room 3. "Sempai…? What's all this…?"
"Isn't it beautiful?" Tamaki Suoh spread his arms out wide, gesturing to the flurry of fake snow, tinsel, and lights. "It's our very own Winter Wonderland! It's the perfect setting, don't you think?"
"It's extra," Haruhi replied, blunt as ever.
Tamaki gasped dramatically. "Haruhi, how can you say that? I worked hard on this so the ladies will feel as if they're somewhere magical!"
"'Magical'…?"
Tamaki clutched a hand to his heart dramatically. "Haruhi, you're so harsh, frigid just like this brutal weather!"
Haruhi sighed, exasperated.
"Whoa, Boss, what happened in here?" As usual, Karou and Hikaru Hitachiin spoke in unison.
The Host Club president immediately brightened. "Isn't it the perfect Winter Wonderland?"
"Ithink it's pretty, Tama-chan!" Mitsukuni Haninozuka declared as he arrived with the ever-present Takashi Morinozuka behind him. "Usa-chan likes it, too!" he added, holding up his pink rabbit.
"And it should provide extra funding for the club when I create a winter edition of photo albums for the clients," Kyoya Ohtori added as he walked around the room with his usual clipboard.
Tamaki's eyes shone with happiness. I knew you'd like it! Now we have to give the girls a wonderful Christmas experience!"
If Tamaki's excitement over the decorations wasn't bad enough, his enthusiasm for presents was worse.
Kyoya was doing last-minute inventory, already planning ahead for activities for the next term. Hunny happily ate a piece of cake while Mori stood beside him. The twins lounged together on one of the couches in the room, evidently bored. Haruhi walked around Music Room 3, looking for any china that may have been left out. It was quiet, uneventful as the hosts waited for their president to arrive.
"I wonder why sempai is so late…?" Haruhi said aloud, closing the china cabinet just as the door burst open.
"Merry Christmas!" Tamaki declared, entering the room with a Santa hat on his head and a cloth bag slung over his shoulder.
Haruhi planted her face into her palm. Whatishedoingnow?
"So, since this is our last meeting for the term, I decided to get you all presents!" With that, Tamaki set down his bag and began to produce packages that looked as if they had been wrapped by a three-year-old. "I wrapped them myself!" Tamaki declared proudly. "Go on, open them!"
As they did so, Tamaki went over to the tree and turned on the lights, before he gestured to his fellow hosts. "Come on, come on, we need a picture! You, too, Kyoya!" The Host Club president gathered everyone in front of the tree and pulled out a camera, holding it out in front of them.
"Merry Christmas!" The blond said excitedly, a grin on his face as he drew his friends closer and the flash went off.
