Title: Simple Words
Word: Family / Disaster
Request by: Xx Tohru xXx Seraphina xX (I probably have more words from here than any one else lol Oo yes I added another word to this one.)
Disaster. One word to describe a family gathering for those that don't feel they seem to fit with their particular family and choose to hide amongst the shadows until said family departs to places you can't name because you may not have been paying very close attention. One word to describe when your two insanely taller than you cousins who think wrestling at their age is still cute and crash into your birthday cake ruining the dress you saved for weeks to get in just your size and the exact color you wanted. Yes, disaster would be one way to describe a family gathering whether they are of actual blood or just pretend to every one but one.
Tamaki took pride in the little family he had created of Ouran High School's very well known Host club. Hansome sons, beautiful daughter, "devoted wife" (who would strangle him at any given moment for any given reason and could currently name twelve off the bat.), and an incredily charming and handsome father. Said "father" also believed that as a family they should do family oriented things together such as maybe have a quiet picnic in the garden of his extravagant mansion. Such an idea came from watching many "commoner" television shows of familys who would get into all sorts of insane situations and in the end all would be well again, until maybe the next episode. Befitting don't you think?
He had set up a long table full of food, more than enough to feed seven people, let alone the entire street twice over. It all went well, more than any one else had thought it would given past experiences. There was no excessive yelling. No food being thrown in every imaginable directions and a few you probably couldn't. No arguing of any kind. No bashings on the head with newspapers that came from no one knew where. And no hugging or going into dark little corners that ,again, no one knew where it came from.
Yes, every thing went well, and thankfully uneventful...At least until dessert arrived. It was the eldest of the twins that offered to go fetch the cake from the kitchen. And it was the youngest who accidently spilled a glass of water, with ice, in front of the door on his way back from the kitchen. And that was where it all went down hill. As Hikaru came out caring an absolutly delicious pink frosted cake, he tripped over Kaoru who had bent down to pick up his glass and scoop up what he could of the ice before it melted. This caused the cake to go flying out of his hands and send Hikaru toppling down over his brother and Haruhi who had come to help clean up the mess.
The cake ended up landing right on top of "mother" who cursed and wondered why in the world he had worn his best suit when it was obvious some thing like this had been bound to happen from the moment the word came out of Tamaki's mouth. Tamaki, ignoring the evil look being given to him by Kyouya, rushed over to help his precious daughter and yell at the twins for defiling his darling daughter. Said twins reprimanded by grabbing hold of each of Haruhi's arms and running off with her as Tamaki chased after them all the while yelling at mother to help.
At some point they let go of Haruhi and the three began running around the yard. Tamaki yelling for Kyouya to help, and the twins grabbing chunks of cake from Kyouya's head and throwing it behind them at Tamaki. As Haruhi helped clean up the cake, Honey did his part by grabbing handfuls and stuffing them in to his mouth while his cousin sat there, silent, just watching.
Kyouya could already feel a headache beginning to form, and after only ten minutes. After being toppled down by the three as he got up from his chair, he spotted a green tube coming out of the bushes. Eyeing them vengefully, he stood up and picked up the hose aiming it in the direction from which the three were coming.
Without warning, the three were hit with a blast of cold water and slipped into the mud. And with that, their little family gathering came to an end. Maybe they were not a true family but family none the less in his eyes. Because who better than your closest friends.
I am aware this may not have made much sense but feel free to tell me what you think any ways. I accept all criticisim that will help me improve in my writing. Thank you for reading.
