"Renge-san, do I have to wear this outfit?"
"Of course Yuki-kun! Or else you wouldn't fit to your bishie type!"
"You are aware of how indecent this is. Are you sure you want me to wear this in front of all the ladies visiting?"
"Yuki-kun! They're here to see you in things like that! It doesn't make sense if our bishie isn't wearing clothes that go up to standard!" Yuki sighed again, seeing how serious Renge was in making him wear that outfit. The so called theme for today was one that had to do with the upcoming holiday: Christmas. Music room three was decorated in glitter coated garlands, soft lights, and the largest item in the room was a fifteen foot tall fresh tree. At their meeting the previous day, Honey had suggested that the girls help decorate the tree and Kyoya, who saw this as another opportunity to gain profits, agreed. For now, the tree was decorated with flickering white lights, but it would soon be filled with whatever the ladies wished it to be covered in. Every host was given an outfit to fit the theme and was already in costume, except Yuki, who was refusing to wear the item being shown to him by Renge.
"I understand, but I don't think I should wear something as indecent as that," He repeated what he had told her before and flashed her a smile, but the girl didn't seem fazed like she usually was. Instead she was trembling, trying not to give in, and said once more:
"Yuki-kun, you have to wear it! Do you want to be naked in front of our guests?" The silver haired boy blushed slightly and finally taking the outfit from her.
"Fine, I'll wear this thing," He mumbled out, and made his way to the dressing room. When he had disappeared, Honey, who was dressed as a reindeer, made his way to Renge and asked her:
"What was Yu-chan upset about? It's almost winter break so he shouldn't be sad!" Usa-chan was also dressed in a smaller reindeer costume because, well, Honey wanted it that way. Renge shrugged before shuffling through her bag. The smaller blonde boy looked confused at her actions, but understood after seeing what she had pulled out.
"Kyoya wanted me to take a photo of Yuki-kun right when he came out to put in the photo book," She squealed, "I can't wait to get my hands on it!" Honey just backed away slowly, but stopped when he saw the curtain pull away from its closed position. There was a bright flash and the clicking of the camera the host's lady manager was holding and the boy being photographed seemed dazed. After blinking to get rid of the colored spots in his vision, Yuki walked over to the couch he was supposed to be hosting on with Tamaki and sat waiting. Kyoya got up from his spot on the music room's many tables and pushed up his glasses that had fallen and were now resting on the bridge of his nose. He walked over to the main double doors of the room and announced to the girls awaiting:
"The host club is now open for business,"

"Kyoya? When is the next set of photo books coming out?" Kyoya turned to face the girls and smiled using his smile specifically used in the presence of the guests.
"They will be available to you ladies before we leave for holiday," He flipped through a calendar that was included inside of his notebook and continued, "If you are interested, I can place a pre-order for you," The two girls who had approached him, clapped happily and nodded their heads in excitement. The shorter of them asked in a timid voice:
"Kyoya, how much are they?" There was no response for quite a while until Kyoya finally finished crunching the numbers.
"Luckily for you ladies, I'll be able to lower the price to around twenty-five thousand yen for both of you," They thanked him and pulled out both of their handbags before handing him the money needed to purchase the photo books. Taking the bills from their hands, and writing down their names in his notebook.
"Kyoya, we love the outfit you're wearing today," He smiled once again as they admired the green and red fabric that he was dressed in. As Kyoya sat down in at one of the tables, the small bell on the top of his green laced hat jingled. The girls stood there fascinated by the way the green and red striped tight covered the legs that were tapping impatiently on the floor beneath them.
Meanwhile, Honey and Mori were telling the story of how Yuki was able to beat their team at the volleyball during the trip to the beach. Well, more like Honey while More was watching over silently and occasionally added to the conversations with a few 'Un's and Mm's'
"So Yu-chan was so amazing! He didn't even try to serve the ball to us and it just flew over so quickly!" The blonde in the reindeer costume was making hand motions to emphasis his point, "And then, his team ended up winning because of his awesome serving! Isn't that right Takashi?"
"Yeah," The taller boy, was sitting next to Honey and was in a reindeer costume as well. The only exceptions was that on his nose was a little, red felt ball that was connected by a string. Apparently Tamaki had wanted their outfits to match, but still remain unique.
"Hey Takashi, don't you think that when it gets warm again we should let Yu-chan demonstrate his martial arts again?" There was no answer from the taller teen for quite a while, which just left the girls the two were hosting confused. They started to whisper amongst themselves.
"Yuki-kun knows martial arts? He looks so frail,"
"I know. It looks like he might break if he were to fight someone,"
"I still want to see him fight,"
"He can fight well," finally escaped Mori's lips. The girl's quieted down and now resumed their taking with Honey and Mori. Hikaru and Kaoru, who were watching the two of them out of the corner of their eyes, were also dressed to fit the theme. Both of them were dressed in totally white outfits, with accessories that made them look like snowmen. The only difference between the two of them was that Kaoru had a scarf that was a color slightly different than his twin brother. Not like the girls really noticed, because Hikaru had slipped off Kaoru's scarf and pulled his so that the two of them were sharing. Kaoru pulled closer to his brother and took the signal that it was time to start their brotherly love act.
"Hika, I'm cold," The younger twin looked up at his brother with a slight blush. Hikaru's eyes widened slightly and turned his brother so that his back was facing back to him. The girl's started fanning themselves at the scene and when Hikaru pulled Kaoru to him that he was in his arms, the girls lost it.
"KYA! So cute!" The three girls who were watching them, started squealing and looked at each other with rosy cheeks. Even when the two of them had finished their scene, Kaoru didn't pull away, yet Hikaru didn't seem to mind the contact. Haruhi had been passing them with a tray of sugar cookies and rolled her eyes at them. She too, was dressed to the theme. She was wearing a long robe that reached her ankles and at her back were glittery wings. She didn't have any costumers today, so she decided to walk around and pass out the cookies she had prepared earlier. Today, there was a large crowd that was hoarding around Tamaki and Yuki. She gently tapped the girls who were blocking her path in the shoulder and offered them a cookie once they moved out of the way. After losing around ten cookies on the journey to her two senpai's she finally saw both of them sitting at the grand piano.
'That's weird. I didn't hear anything when I was walking through here,'
"Yuki-chan, watch what I perform and try to repeat it," The blonde pressed the keys to play a simple melody. With trembling hands, Yuki hesitantly pressed the keys to copy his partner's movements. He made it about three-fourths of the way before pressing the wrong key.
"Sorry, I was supposed to play that key, but my finger slipped-" Yuki knew what was going to happen next. He had run over this with Tamaki earlier. The taller blonde's pointer finger shushed him and he was about to open his mouth in a mock retort, when Tamaki was cued to take his hands into his own and play the keys with him. In his mind, he was not liking any of this, but was used to all of these games after having around three weeks of experience.
"It's alright Yuki-chan. Anything you do sounds like the singing of the birds I hear every morning," The mob of girls watching this play out, had pulled their hands and covered their chins in anticipation. Yuki faked a blush and looked up at Tamaki, who was leading the two pairs of hands to play a simple melody.
'This isn't so bad compared to what I've had to do before. It would be better if I didn't have to wear this thing,' Yuki let himself relax and let Tamaki finish the song. The two of them seemed to glow, as they were basked in the light of the setting sun.
"That was wonderful Yuki-chan. I knew you could do it," Renge had told him that he had to act like Kaoru sometimes and because of the act the two of them were doing, the lady manager told them that this was the right time.
"I didn't do anything Tamaki-san. Really, you did all the work," He copied what he had seen the younger auburn haired twin perform. He moved his left hand to his chin and tried to look somewhat unsure. Tamaki grasped his wrist with his right hand and spoke gently:
"Yuki-chan, what I meant to say was that you-"
"Yuki! Why do you look like a girl again?" Tamaki was cut off when a loud voice interrupted his speech and a small figure jumped on the rat's back, hanging from his shoulders.
"Momiji-kun? What are you-"
"Did you know that Hari's with me? He brought me here!" Yuki couldn't see his small cousin from the way he was hanging off his bare shoulders. "Are you cross dressing again?"
"Huh? Momiji, I'm more curious as to why you're here,"
"I wanted to see you silly!" The cursed rabbit laughed out. The girls watching started whispering none to quietly to each other.
"He looks like Honey-senpai,"
"Do you think the two of them are related?"
"They seem like it," Tamaki seemed bewildered by this stranger in the room and stood up and asked Momiji.
"Excuse me, but may I ask who you are?"
"I am Momiji Sohma! I am half Japanese and half German!" The small blonde pulled of the cap he was wearing and bowed, "Hallo! Wie geht es Ihnen heute?*"
"I am afraid I don't understand, Momiji-kun," Tamaki breathed out as he saw the boy literally hop over to his look-a-like.
"Bunnies are my favorite animals. Are they yours as well?" He commented pointing at Usa-chan. The two of them started to have a conversation, while the rest of the club resumed. A few minutes passed before the double doors opened once more and a figure about six feet tall appeared. The man stared at Yuki and asked him a question that Yuki had heard before.
"Yuki-kun, are you sure you aren't a girl?" Renge had made hand motions to start up the act again to get the girls interested and like before he answered.
"Like I told you before, you've seen me naked countless times," He spoke softly looking down. The girls squealed and fainted. Yuki just sweat dropped before finally sighing out loud.
"Why are you wearing such a ridiculous outfit?" the doctor had asked him eyeing the red fabric that barely went up to his pale mid-thighs.
"All of us have to wear something related to Christmas. I don't understand why I am the one responsible to wear an outfit like this," He pulled at the fluffy sleeves before continuing, "It makes complete sense if Kaoru-san wears something like this, but not me," During their talk Kyoya had drawn all the attention byletting the girls decorate the tall tree before them and they did not hear the conversation between the two.
"And why is that?" Yuki let out a frustrated sigh. Frankly he didn't know himself.
"I don't know,"
"Momiji-kun and I will be waiting outside. We'll drop you off at Shigure's" Hatori had called over the whining blonde who wanted to spend more time with his new friend, but he finally gave in. Yuki sighed and stared at the little puffs that were attached near his chest by a thin silver string. Renge had made Tamaki wear a Santa outfit, while he had worn a costume similar to his, but this one was meant to be worn for a female.
"Hey Yu-chan, do you want to help?" Yuki looked up and saw his blonde senpai smiling from about ten feet away. He nodded and walked over to the group of bodies who were placing different ornaments on the tree. Hikaru handed him a small box of ornaments and after searching through the box he found three ornaments. Smiling slightly at the three of them before placing them high on the tree, he thought to himself.
'Maybe this day wasn't so bad after all,'
II
When all had dispersed from the music room that day, at the very top of the tree were three very special ornaments. A small onigiri was in the middle of two other ornaments. A wide eyed rat was perched to the left, while a sparkly orange cat rested to its right. Below them, were various colored rose shaped ornaments. And when the lights flickered just at the perfect moment, you could swear that the rat decoration had a shimmering lavender eyes.
O.o
Did you guys miss me? Sorry for being so late on my updates, it's just that I have a really important play which I open in. m(_ _)m I hope this chapter wasn't so short compared to last time; I tried to make it around 2,000+ words. Also, I wonder if this chapter was really confusing for you guys. Just in case: Around three weeks passed since the beach incident, so... That's it. It's another filler chapter, but I felt that I would forget everything by the time Christmas rolled around so I posted this early. I forgot to put this in the last chapter so: HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KYOYA! ^^ Critiques, comments, questions, flames, bricks, pocky, legos, you know where to send them.
*Roughly means: Hello! How are you today*
