I seem to be apologising at the beginning of almost every chapter... SORRY! I have a complete mental block on this story... does anybody oppose to a Christmas filler? It may end up having relevant information in it then it wouldn't really be a filler... I'm confusing myself *-* I also have loads of ideas for my other two fics so I'm afraid they came firsts, I'm a bad person, I know. I've completed one of them though ^o^

Sorry if I annoy people with my ramblings... but I have decided it will most definitely be more than a filler so if you skip it, you miss out.

Haruhi was bored. Now, Haruhi is not on who easily gets bored but after completing all of the work her teacher had been sending her as well as trying Takashi's work, staring out of the window, making another Christmas cake (which would be devoured by Huni later that day), staring out of the window some more, sleeping, watching TV and reading, Haruhi was very bored indeed. Takashi was teaching a Christmas course of martial arts to a group of children at his family dojo.

He told her to stay at home and rest. She would have gone Christmas shopping seeing as there were only one day left till the day but he told her it was dangerous.

Haruhi muttered darkly to herself about people thinking she was incompetent.

She poked her stomach and pouted childishly, 'stupid babies make me look weird,' with a sigh she flopped down onto the couch and read a book on law... again.

Takashi found her an hour later with a book on top of her face. He lifted it up and Haruhi's eyes snapped open and she blinked a few times making incomprehensible mumbles. Takashi sat down next to her, dumping his kit bag on the floor.

'Hungry?' Haruhi smiled when she was awake.

'Hn,' Takashi nodded.

Haruhi slid off the couch and wandered over to the kitchen, happy to have something to do.

'How was today?' she asked idly, putting some noodles in a pot and adding various ingredients as it boiled, she mixed them around, occasionally picking a strawberry from an open punnet on the counter and popping it in her mouth.

'Fine, energetic children,'

Haruhi laughed, 'like lots of little Huni-senpai's then?'

He nodded, 'but more clumsy.'

Haruhi came back with two bowls of noodles and 'stuff'. Haruhi leant against her boyfriend then turned to him, her chopstick hanging from her mouth, 'd'you think we should go Christmas shopping any time soon, if you go with me I should be fine and we've only got one more day,' Takashi sighed and the side of his mouth twitched upwards at her stubborn insistence.

'Sure,'

Haruhi grinned happily, chewing on a piece of beef.

They when Christmas shopping, blah, blah, I'm sure you want to hear all of the amazingly boring details but I'm going to skip them or this chapter will be way, way too long plus I feel bad for not updating in so long and writing about a shopping trip would take even longer.

'I'm going to make those sweets for Huni-senpai,' Haruhi called back to Takashi as she hurried into the kitchen away from the cold. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and pulled a big mixing bowl out of the kitchen cupboard.

Takashi grinned when he thought back to the shock on Haruhi's face when she hand woken up with her head resting on his shoulder and the Christmas shopping completed. She had fallen asleep when they had stopped to have a drink. Now she was fumbling around the kitchen, determined to prove she wasn't tired and she would be fine for the whole host club coming around the next day, she stifled a yawn and poured a whole load of sugar into a pan with some water and stirred it around to let it melt.

Takashi put the bags of presents on the table and placed the apples and sticks on the kitchen counter. Haruhi was testing the now thick liquid, she licked a bit off the tip of her finger and smiled satisfactorily, 'toffee is almost ready, will you make sure the sticks are in the apples properly, Takashi.'

He nodded and after about half an hour they had two toffee apples and two chocolate coated apples.

'D'you think Huni-senpai will like them?'

'Definitely,' he confirmed. Haruhi smiled again and left them on a rack to dry before taking a see through plastic sheet, some wrapping paper, ribbons and name tags. She put them all out and started to take the twin's gift out of a shopping bag, she rubbed her eyes again and Takashi grabbed it as she placed it down again.

'Sleep,' he insisted.

'No,' she flat out refused.

'Sleep,' he plucked her off the ground.

'I'm not even tired. This is stupid,' Haruhi folded her arms as she sat in Takashi's arms.

He sae her down on their bed and her eyes fluttered closed and she curled into a protective ball.

Takashi set about the difficult task of wrapping presents. (It was difficult for him anyway. He'd never done it before)

After two hours (yes, it took him two hours) Takashi flopped into bed next to Haruhi and fell asleep. Haruhi wriggled closer towards his body heat and sighed contentedly when she was comfortably resting against his chest.

~.~.~.~

Haruhi's eyes fluttered open slowly. She sat up and looked around the room, trying to find what had woken her up. There was another tap on her window. She stood up, now full awake and pushed the curtain aside.

Tamaki, Huni and the twins' faces were pressed against the glass.

'Merry Christmas!' they shouted.

Haruhi closed the curtain again and went back to bed. Takashi opened one eye, 'who was it?'

'Just a bunch of morons,' Haruhi shrugged and closed her eyes. There was a louder knock on the window. Haruhi's eye twitched and she got up and shoved the curtain aside again, 'WHAT?!'

Huni and the twins looked terrified, 'Tama-chan got his face stuck to the glass,' Huni whimpered fearfully. Haruhi stopped looking angry and slapped her palm on her forehead and sighed at her senpai's idiocy.

'Takashi, we have to get Tamaki-senpai's face off of our window,' Takashi went to get some warm water then they both went outside to free Tamaki from being stuck to a window for all eternity (or at least till the frost thawed)

'Haruhi,' the twins asked suspiciously, 'what is Mori-senpai doing here?'

'He lives here,' Haruhi stated and dumped a mug of warm water over Tamaki's head. He shrieked and rubbed his cheek as it came off of the glass.

'...Ranka-san told us you lived here. Oh, and he also told us to tell you he was coming by later to wish you a Merry Christmas,'

'I do live here, so does Takashi,'

'You're living in the same house?' Tamaki shrieked.

'Uh... does it bother you?' Haruhi and Takashi wore identical blank expressions.

'Of course it bothers Daddy!'

'Hate to break the new to you but, I'm already pregnant, it's a bit late to be getting bothered,' Haruhi yet again had managed to send Tamaki to his emo corner, he sat miserably in the corner wallowing in self pity, 'senpai, please stop growing mushrooms in my apartment. Now you're free from the window you can all go home. Don't you have families to spend time with?'

'Our parents all have to go to Christmas parties so we won't see them for a couple of days,' Huni explained, he didn't look upset, he was used to it. Haruhi just blinked in surprise.

'We I guess you guys can stay for a while,' Haruhi sighed with semi-fake annoyance, 'let me go get changed though. Don't break anything while I'm not in the room, bakas,' Haruhi grabbed Takashi's hand and they both went to get changed.

When they emerged they found four boys sat on the floor, completely still, Haruhi looked at them in confusion, 'what are you doing?'

'Not breaking anything,' Huni managed to say without even opening his mouth.

'You can move, just keep the place intact,' but I suppose for you four it's the same thing Haruhi smiled. Tamaki's stomach growled, 'hungry?' Haruhi raised an eyebrow and put an apron on ready to start cooking, Takashi wandered over to help her, 'where's Renge anyway? You two seemed close when I last saw you in that café.'

It's not possible to turn a darker shade of red than Tamaki did. The twins and Huni stared at Tamaki with interest.

'I was going to go see her later,' he mumbled quietly.

'You could bring her over here. Is that ok Takashi?' her boyfriend nodded, happy that Haruhi was happy. Although she acted like she hated the host club (including their self proclaimed female manager) she had missed them in the time she hadn't been able to attend Ouran.

'OK,' Tamaki perked up and grinned, 'should I go now, maybe Kyouya will be here when I get back,'

'He's probably with Miss. Ishikawa,'

She received blank looks.

'She's my doctor, I saw Kyouya coming out of her office last time I went to see her,'

'Come to think of it,' Kaoru said thoughtfully.

'We asked him about how he knew your doctor once,' Hikaru continued.

'And he blushed,' they finished.

'Kyouya... blushed?!' a chorus of voices sounded amazed.

'He must really like her then,' Haruhi mused, buttering a few slices of toast and chewing on one of them thoughtfully.

'Who are we talking about?' Kyouya walked into the room casually, 'the door was unlocked by the way, Haruhi.'

'Nobody!' Tamaki shrieked. Worst. Liar. Ever.

'Whatever you idiot, by the way. Renge is outside; I think she followed you here.'

Tamaki went outside to greet her (and possible to run away from Kyouya).

There was silence in the room and everybody hoped Kyouya hadn't heard them talking.

There WAS going to be a lot in this chapter but turns out it would be about 3.000 words so I'm going to spit it into two. The next chapter should be up soon though because it is half-term so I have a week off school :)

Sorry again for the long wait and rubbish chapter DX
