Chapter 10: New Year Special

A/N: Okay, I know this story's a little too late to be a New Year Special, so sorry about that! ^^' I still really wanted to post this, and I'll be taking requests after this story!

"Yay! It's almost New Year!" Tamaki hollered as he glomped Haruhi. "Aren't you excited, my darling daughter? It's a new year to start out fresh-"

"Get you're hands off Haruhi, idiot," Kyoya interjected, sending Tamaki quickly into his corner of doom.

"Hey, Kaoru, looks like someone's feeling a bit possessive today," Hikaru nudged his brother, earning a devilish smirk from his brother and a death glare from the Shadow King.

Haruhi narrowed her eyes and joined her boyfriend in the rounds of glaring.

Yes, it was that time of the year again: New Year's Eve! And of course, Tamaki, being friends with the six college students around him, invited them for yet another party. Everyone was available to come this time, so here they were in the Souh mansion, surrounding a large television capable of making Haruhi grimace at the price of, watching the countdown clock of Tokyo.

Three hours before midnight.

Yes, they were clearly eager, eager enough to be staring at the t.v. For hours straight while bouncing up and down. Well, Tamaki, Honey, and the twins were, anyway. Kyoya just calculated some business profits on his computer, Haruhi sat next to him, thinking about the New Year's Sale at the local grocery store, and Mori watched over Honey, making sure he wouldn't do anything beyond stupid.

But of course, sometimes things can get out of hand, and even Mori wouldn't be able to control anything.

And this was obvious when one of the twins took out a bottle of beer. "It's to celebrate!" Hikaru explained, opening the bottle.

…

…

…

And this was exactly how two hours later, Haruhi and Kyoya were left with a drunk Tamaki, Hikaru, Kaoru, Honey, and Mori. Not a very good situation to be in, definitely.

How Tamaki got drunk was obvious: His pure stupidity, ignorance, and curiosity lead him to his current state.

The twins had dared each other to drink as much beer as they could without passing out. I'm sure you can guess how that turned out.

Honey mistook the alcohol as a soda, and the boy immediately had a craving for more, begging his companion to try some of the amazing "soda". We all know that Mori would never deny Honey, no matter what.

Kyoya, who'd never touch alcohol and Haruhi, who never had the desire to touch alcohol were pretty much in the worst possible situation.

"Oh, dear Mommy!" Tamaki slurred, dropping himself onto an uncomfortable Kyoya. "How's our darling daughter doing?" He placed a sloppy kiss on Kyoya's cheek, and the boy was quick to fling Tamaki off his lap with lightening speed. The drunk Tamaki seemed to be on the verge of crying, until he saw another bottle of beer and leaped to it.

"Oh no, no more for you," Kyoya snatched the bottle before Tamaki could drown himself in another drink.

Haruhi's situation wasn't any better.

"Hey, Haruhi." Hikaru sat next to the brunette, and Kaoru did the same. "Wanna play a game?" They were too drunk to say anything more, and they resorted to giggling uncontrollably, mumbling things about balloons and screwdrivers.

On the other side of the room, a loud crash could be heard, and vases similar to the one Haruhi accidentally smashed were forever gone. A hyper, drunk Honey equaled mass destruction. Add a drunk Mori who was trying to control the drunk Honey and all hell brakes loose.

Both Kyoya and his girlfriend flinched at the thought of such expensive pieces of work going to waste, and they glanced at each other. Let's get out of here, Kyoya mouthed to Haruhi. The girl nodded frantically in response, and the two slipped past the intoxicated host club.

Once outside, Kyoya took off his jacket and draped it over Haruhi, and Haruhi responded by giving it back. "I already have a sweatshirt, and you have nothing but a shirt on," she scolded.

The couple got into Kyoya's limousine and headed to Haruhi's apartment. "Remind me to never let the twins touch alcohol," Kyoya grumbled.

Haruhi leaned against her boyfriend. "Yeah, I'll be sure to do that."

(The next morning)

The annoying ringing of her cellphone woke Haruhi up from her couch. She immediately shuffled through her nearby bag, ignoring a protesting Kyoya as she got up and retrieved her phone, checking the caller id. "Damn it, Senpai," she muttered as she flipped it open. "It's five in the morning, Tamaki Senpai, what do you want?"

The only thing she heard on the other end was bawling. She rolled her eyes and sat next to Kyoya, who was now awake enough not to give Haruhi glares of murder. Finally, decipherable words came from the cell phone.

"My daughter! Where are you? What happened to celebrating New Year? I don't even remember counting down! And why are the twins all…." Tamaki continued his sobbing.

"That's what happens when you touch alcohol, Tamaki," Kyoya leaned next to Haruhi to speak. "Now do you mind, we have some business to get to."

Everything went silent.

Until finally, the blond exploded: "MOMMY? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH OUR DAUGHTER DURING THIS TIME OF-" He cries were cut off as Haruhi snapped the phone shut.

"Idiots," the couple muttered simultaneously.
