I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. I only own Christina.
Story start
Hikaru and Chris have now been going out for a week and everything has been a blast. They've cherished all the times they could see or talk to each other, and Chris was sad that she would no longer have to take photos of the host club today. Hikaru and Kaoru said that they had a surprise for her, and this surprise is at their house.
Chris gave those two confused glances as she got in their limo and it started off to the Hitachiin household. "Why are we going to your house?" Chris asked Hikaru and Kaoru. The twins winked at each other and refused to answer her. The only answer they would say was that it is a surprise.
Chris sighed and Hikaru grabbed her hand and rubbed circles on top of the hand with his thumb. Chris smiled at him and he gave her a sweet kiss on the lips. "Don't worry, you're going to like this," Hikaru whispered as he wrapped an arm around Chris's waist and pulled her closer to him and she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I hope so," Chris thought while resting on Hikaru's shoulder. Kaoru looked at the couple and smiled softly. He felt a little lonely now that his brother had found someone to love, but he was happy for his brother. Kaoru hoped that soon he too would find someone to care for. Hikaru smiled at his brother and Kaoru knew that his brother would never leave him.
The ride was fairly quiet except for random pieces of conversation and Chris asking what the surprise was a few more times to try and see if Kaoru or Hikaru would let it slip. Kaoru sighed and put a hand over Chris's mouth. "Stop asking," he said as Chris gave Hikaru and Kaoru a look.
She sighed and Kaoru thought she was going to lick him or something, but she did something with a bit more effect. Chris pulled Kaoru's hand away from her mouth a bit and then bit down on it. She did not bite him hard, just enough to get the point across that you do not put your hand over her mouth for any reason.
Kaoru yelped and held his hand close to his chest as Chris chuckled. "Let that serve as a lesson," Chris said smugly as she crossed her arms over her chest. Hikaru looked at his brother and then at Chris surprised before he cracked up laughing. "She bit me," Kaoru said with a pout before winking to his brother.
Chris was not expecting anything to happen to her, but she was dreadfully wrong. Hikaru and Kaoru each grabbed one of her arms and brought it close to their mouths. They each bit down, but not too hard, and she yelped. Kaoru laughed and released her hand immediately, but Hikaru gave her hand a little kiss where he bit it before putting his hand in hers.
Chris looked at them dumbfounded before rolling her eyes. "Meanies," she said like a little kid with a pout, which caused the twins to chuckle. Chris smiled and laughed a little bit herself as the limo parked. Hikaru and Kaoru got out first, and Hikaru held out a hand to help Chris, which she took as she stepped out of the limo. She gasped when she saw the house before her. It was beautiful. Flower gardens were everywhere with beautiful fountains in some parts of the gardens.
"Come on," Kaoru said as he stood in the now open front doorway of the house. Hikaru smiled and held Chris's hand as they walked to the door. They stepped inside and followed Kaoru into a room. A beautiful woman that looked like the twins was sitting in a chair at a table. The woman smiled as her sons and Chris entered the room and she stood up.
Chris gasped when she recognized the woman before her to be the great fashion designer and the twins' mother. Chris bowed in respect and the twins' mother chuckled. Hikaru made Chris stand back up properly and they all sat down at the table with their mother. Chris was confused, nervous, yet very happy to be seated before her boyfriend's mother and a famous fashion designer.
"Such a beautiful young woman, I'm very pleased to meet you Chris, my sons have told me so much about you," the twins' mother said politely. Chris smiled shyly and said, "It is an honor to meet you Mrs. Hitachiin and thank you. Hopefully these two did not tell you anything bad about me." The twins' mother laughed and smiled at Chris as Hikaru and Kaoru poked her.
"Mom, tell her about the surprise," Kaoru said getting bored. Mrs. Hitachiin nodded and smiled at Chris. "Well I would love to have you as one of my models, but my boys here have told me you are an amazing photographer. I've wanted a new photographer for my company and I was wondering if you would take the job," Mrs. Hitachiin said with a happy smile.
Chris's jaw dropped before she quickly closed it. She could not believe that Mrs. Hitachiin was asking her to be a photographer for her. This means that she would not have to jump from job to job to support herself, and she could feel a sense of stability in her life. A few tears of joy slipped out of her eyes as she said, "I would love to work for you Mrs. Hitachiin. I'll do my best and take the most amazing pictures for you."
Mrs. Hitachiin smiled and stood up and hugged Chris before making Kaoru stand up as well. "Oh by the way, you and my son look so cute together. I approve of this relationship. Now then, come Kaoru, we must get to work," Mrs. Hitachiin said before dragging Kaoru out of the room. Hikaru and Chris were silent for a moment as a bright red blush appeared on their cheeks.
Chris smiled and hugged Hikaru after she got over her shock. "Thank you so much," she said as Hikaru hugged her back. Hikaru smiled happy that Chris accepted the job and that his mother was fine with them being together. Hikaru smirked and pulled Chris into a deep kiss which caught her off guard, but she quickly returned the kiss.
Hikaru pulled back from the kiss with a soft and caring look in his eyes, which captivated Chris. She truly wished she had her camera to capture the moment forever, but she had a feeling that she would see this look again and again. "I love you," Hikaru whispered softly before giving Chris a sweet and soft kiss on the lips. Chris gasped before she felt a few more tears slide down her cheeks. Hikaru gently wiped away her tears with his thumb, and she kissed his thumb when it touched her lips.
"I love you too," Chris whispered happily and truly meaning her words. Her whole heart felt complete and full. She had never had this feeling in her whole life. Her heart had always felt like it was missing something. She always tried to fill that hole by taking pictures of other people being happy, but now she was happy herself. She smiled when she saw Hikaru's eyes widened before going back to the loving and caring look. Hikaru smiled and pulled her into a sweet kiss.
A camera flash went off as they kissed. Mrs. Hitachiin and Kaoru gave each other a silent high five as they smiled at the loving couple. "So sweet," Mrs. Hitachiin said as she hugged her son. Kaoru smiled happily for his brother and his friend. Hikaru and Chris chuckled after the kiss when they saw a tearful Mrs. Hitachiin and a smiling Kaoru. Hikaru grabbed Chris's hand and looked into her eyes. Chris knew that this was where she belonged and she was happy.
Life never seemed sweeter.
Months later…
Chris and Hikaru are still going strong in their relationship and they could not be any happier. Chris still visits the host club every now and then when she is not at work, and she has moved out of her apartment. She now lives at the Hitachiin household. No, she does not live in the same bedroom as Hikaru. Hikaru and Kaoru still share the same bed, while Chris has her own room to herself, that way she can have her privacy.
Working with Mrs. Hitachiin is a blast and never boring. Chris has even had to model once or twice, but she did not mind doing it. She loves working with Mrs. Hitachiin. Mrs. Hitachiin treats her and cares for her like a daughter, and it's a nice feeling for Chris.
"Chris," Hikaru yelled through the house as Chris sat in her bedroom. "In here," Chris yelled as she looked at the photo memory on her camera from the last photo shoot she did. Hikaru smiled as he entered Chris's bedroom. He walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. He leaned down and they shared a passionate kiss. "I love you," he said happily as he cherished the feeling of her in his arms. Chris smiled and placed a kiss on Hikaru's hand. "I love you more," Chris said which made both of them laugh a little bit.
Chris smiled as she flipped through her photos and showed Hikaru the first picture she took of him and his brother. "It all started with a picture, and I'm glad it did," she said as he looked at the picture of him and his brother hugging each other while looking petrified. "I'm glad it did too," he said and pulled her into another kiss.
A picture has many meanings in this life, has many feelings in it, and can lead you anywhere. Sometimes, the greatest things start or end with a picture.
The End
