"Tamaki-senpai, you're supposed to put the tinsel and lights on first before the ornaments." Haruhi mildly scolded as she watched her senpai balance on the top steps of a ladder to hang a golden orb at the top.
Tamaki looked down at the frowning girl and back the box of ornaments resting at the top ledge of the ladder.
He pouted, "Are you sure Haruhi? I already decorated the top." He looked over the mess of reds and golds that littered the top branches with a regretful sigh, wishing he was informed before climbing the ladder and meticulously placing each bulb.
Hikaru nudged his elbow into Haruhi's back as he passed by, holding a cardboard box filled with wreaths and ribbons in his arms. "I dare you to knock him off the ladder." He smirked.
Haruhi rolled her eyes and turned to head back to her earlier task of tying velvety ribbons on their hosting chairs, "You are terrible. That could really hurt him."
Kaoru chuckled mischievously, "We know."
Haruhi left and passed Kyoya a few feet later. He had been slumped over a calculator and a printed spreadsheet. Tapping the end of his pen against the tabletop, he rubbed his forehead as he groaned in frustration.
Haruhi peaked a glance over his shoulder and read a short list of expenses ranging from seasonal treats for their guests to more Christmas decorations Tamaki requested for.
Sensing her presence, Kyoya asked, "Can I help you Haruhi?"
"Is that really everything we've spent so far?" She asked, not caring to be blunt as she counted a few of the costs. Two items alone could have covered her apartment's rent.
Kyoya groaned and pinched the top of his nose, "Tamaki wants a very Merry Christmas. Unfortunately that also means expensive."
