The Christmas Dilemma

a/n: hello. I'm back for a short fic since its Christmas, with the season's atmosphere I was inspired to write this fanfic. Enjoy and thanks for reading.

01: A common folk tradition

A strikingly attractive boy with silky jet black hair was busy looking at his laptop. Beside him he could hear a sigh from another boy who was seated in a couch and was busy scribbling something.

The sigh repeated itself every minute and it was testing his patience.

"What is wrong?" Kyouya Ootori asked as he stopped to glanced at the handsome blonde boy.

"It's Christmas" he sighed dramatically.

"I thought you love this season?"

"I do!" Tamaki Suou exclaimed as he crumpled the piece of paper he was scribbling on. "But I'm having a hard time trying to get gifts for everyone"

"Everyone" Kyouya pushed his wire trimmed glasses up his nose, "or for someone?"

Tamaki stiffened and let out a stupid laugh. "F-for everyone of course"

Kyouya flashed him a look. "You're not good in lying Tamaki. I can read through you"

The host club president sank in his seat. "Kyouya what am I suppose to do?"

"Well" his eyes were suddenly gleaming. "I have this foolish plan"

'And it can save me a whole lot of whining from you' he added mentally.

Tamaki nodded excitedly and sat up eagerly as Kyouya began to narrate something to him.

-xoxoxox-

"All right gather up everyone" Tamaki announced as they met up with the other members of the Host Club.

"What is this all about my lord?" Kaoru asked as he sat beside his twin.

"Our gift giving party!" he said his eyes sparkling in delight.

"Yay!! I want lots of presents!!" Huni cried out jumping around. Haruhi sighed, "another reason to waste money" she muttered looking at all their excited faces. 'Rich bastards...'

"Kyouya had come up with a brilliant plan for our Christmas Party" Tamaki explained pacing around. "He found in the Internet a common folk tradition of exchanging gifts"

Everyone gasped in amazement.

"Gee, I'm not surprised" Haruhi mumbled rolling her eyes.

"Kyouya, will you please do the honors?" Tamaki step aside and Kyouya stood up with a small basket in his right hand.

"Inside are tiny folded papers. Each paper contains every member's name" he showed it to them.

The twins eyes sparkled with interest.

"Each one of you would get one piece of the folded paper and the name written inside is the person you should give a gift to" Kyouya explain. "If you got your name, we will all do it again. But if everything is well, you should not tell anyone who you got so not to spoil the fun" he said glancing momentarily at the twins who were smiling mischievously.

"Whee!! That sound exciting, right Takeshi?" Huni asked Mori who barely nodded.

"So, Tamaki" Kyouya turned to him. "Will you do the honor of picking out the first one?"

Haruhi noticed the gleam in Kyouya's eyes. It was certain he was up to something, although it wasn't new to her anymore because he was always up to something in which it mostly benefits him.

Tamaki reached inside and pick one paper and giggled happily clutching the paper near his chest.

"Haruhi" Kyouya called summoning her to pick one. She peeped into the basket and randomly picked one. Soon the others began to do the same.

Kyouya took the last one and told everyone to open the paper. A couple of gasp filled the club room.

Haruhi stared at everyone's excited faces. And she looked down at the name of the person she got.

"I'm in big trouble" she muttered as she caught a glimpse of Kyouya Ootori who was smiling darkly. 'Why did I have to get this person's name?'
