Characters: Haruhi Fujioka & Hikaru Hitachiin


~Christmas Lights~

Haruhi wrapped her arms around the soft plush rabbit that Hani-senpai had pushed towards her – for "safe keeping". A dozen lights streamed around her small living room, and her father continued to coo at the sparkling glimmers which lit up the night. Hikaru was really trying hard, and for a moment, Haruhi wondered how Kaoru felt about all of this. The darkness swallowed her in its depth, as the snow began to fall outside the window, Haruhi shivered in contemplation.

It didn't feel like Christmas, when she was practically alone at home – her father was heading out soon for an emergency duty call. She hadn't expected herself to become so attached to those lunatics that called themselves her friends. Haruhi clutched the bunny closer to her heart, feeling its warmth pressing into her warm jumper.

Her phone buzzed on the kotatsu and a familiar ringtone echoed in the small room, as her dad put his shoes on.

'Hey Hikaru.'

A glimmering star shone outside the window, and for a moment, she was content to sit and smile.


Alright...I broke my quota :( and I let Hikaru go with Haruhi. T^T it's mostly because I half support these two. Overall I'm pretty alright with any pairing...but anyway...
