Hey guys! I haven't written anything for this story in a while but I just wrote something! Hope you guys liked it! I was rushed into writing this so sorry if it's not my best work. -_- Anyway, Merry Christmas! :D
Haruhi walked into the living room in her small house and looked at herself in the mirror one last time. She examined her outfit and sighed, fixing her white tuxedo. She had gotten used to being dressed as a boy for the host club and she could deal with it for a few hours a day during club activities and school. But today was the Christmas party the club had decided to have and well, everybody had to bring presents. All of them were left under the huge Christmas tree and before the party ended, they could open their presents. Haruhi had already bought the host members presents and all that was left was Hikaru and... Kaoru.
She shook her head clear of everything and turned away from the mirror. She looked at the nicely wrapped presents sitting on her coffee table and went over them. A brand new bunny friend for Usa-chan for Honey, a new sword for Mori, a Kuma bear sweater for Tamaki, and a new laptop case for Kyouya. Haruhi had yet to buy something for Hikaru and Kaoru.
She thought about them both, well, one of them. Yes they were both exactly alike in many ways and like everyone else, they had their differences. But to her, they were two completely different people. She known them for almost half a year and she could already tell them apart easier than the rest of the club that have known them longer. Hikaru liked hot things like coffee and tea. He enjoyed being in the house, whether it would be writing or simply taking photos, which was a secret passion of his, he would enjoy it.
Kaoru was more of a sweet and cold person. He loved drinking the coffee she always made him. He didn't mind that it was hot, just as long as she always added that teaspoon of honey and a bit of extra sugar, he was fine. He enjoyed cake almost as much as Honey and he loved ice cream. He enjoyed being inside but he had more fun being outside. Walking around or just taking a nap in the garden. She really enjoyed their differences and she wondered what was the right gift for them.
A sudden knock on the door startled her and brought her back to reality. She rushed over to the door, opening to find Tamaki smiling down at her. "Hello Haruhi. You look absolutely lovely today." He greeted. Haruhi smiled at him and thanked him.
"Can you help me bring the presents to the limo? And we have to stop at a store to buy Hikaru and Kaoru their gifts." Tamaki nodded and turned to the limo, signaling the driver to take the presents to the trunk. The driver nodded and he came out, taking the presents and balancing them as he walked down the stairs.
"What are you planning on getting them?" Tamaki asked as Haruhi closed the door behind her and locked it.
"It's a surprise." Haruhi said, a smile on her face. Tamaki chuckled and they walked to the limo.
"What did you get me?"
"Nothing." Haruhi's smile faded and Tamaki frowned.
"No fair! Daddy got you something!" Tamaki almost yelled as a few tears fell from his eyes. Haruhi smiled at him and pointed to the red present the driver was putting in the trunk.
"That's your present, now please be quiet." she told him. Tamaki grinned and opened the car door for her as the driver got in his side and began driving toward the plaza. He stopped in front of the store Haruhi told him and he waited patiently as the two walked in. People were running by with presents in their hands and yelling about them getting the wrong boxes. A girl passed in front of them and turned to them. Her brown eyes automatically turned into pink heart and she ran over to them.
"I'm Lin! Can I help you both fine gentlemen?" Haruhi smiled at her and nodded.
"I'm here to pick up an order for Fujioka, Haruhi." she said. The girl nodded and ran to the back getting the order. Tamaki looked out the window and checked to see if the driver was still there.
"What did you get the twins?" Haruhi looked at him and she was just about scold him when the girl came back and gave him the two neatly wrapped gifts.
"Thanks." Haruhi told her and the two walked out of the store and into the limo.
"Where are they?" Kaoru asked pacing the floor.
"Don't worry, they'll be here soon. We all know you just want to see Haruhi." Hikaru said sitting on the armchair and watching his twin brother pace the floor.
"Don't worry Kao-chan~! Tama-chan and Haru-chan will be here soon~!" Honey said as he sat on the small round table eating cake.
"Yes, we still have 10 minutes until we have to greet our guests." Kyouya said, looking out the window at all the elegant dressed ladies and men.
"But still-" Kaoru began before the door burst open and Tamaki walked in with Haruhi and their gifts.
"Sorry we're late, we couldn't get passed all the guests in the front." Tamaki said as he and Haruhi walked to the tree and put the presents with the others.
"It's okay, besides, Kaoru was the only one worried about Haruhi." Hikaru said. Kaoru flushed and Haruhi looked at him, confusion filled her face.
"Why is that? I'm fine." she said. Kaoru nervously chuckled and waved it off.
"No reason." The gang sat around, looking over last minute things until they had to go down to greet their guests. They stood at the top of the stairs that over looked the dance floor and saw the guests walking around and talking aimlessly to each other. The lights dimmed and the spotlight landed on them. The room was filled with applause and some of the ladies and a few men swooned.
"As a Christmas treat to all of you, we have decided to give you guys a chance to be with us and celebrate this marvelous holiday." Kyouya said.
"So without further ado, we leave you guys to enjoy tonight!" The twins smiled at them.
"Sweets and drinks are on the main table so please help yourselves!" Honey chimed in.
"A special surprise will be given at the end of the dance to seven ladies." Mori added.
"A dance with the host of your choice." Haruhi smiled.
"But for now, enjoy yourselves to the fullest!" Tamaki finished. The hall was filled with Christmas music as the crowd cheered and they began dancing. The hosts walked down and greeted their guests, talking with them and enjoying themselves. Kaoru looked around the hall and spotted Haruhi by a group of girls who were trying to get him to dance with them. Kaoru ran over and quickly stole her and they hid behind a pillar.
"Thanks Kaoru. I thought they were going to eat me alive." Haruhi said. Kaoru chuckled a little and looked at her. Even though they both wore the exact same thing, Haruhi still managed to blow his mind away. "Kaoru? What's wrong?" Kaoru shook his head and smiled.
"Nothing, just thinking on how beautiful you look." Haruhi looked at him and felt a blush creep up her face. Kaoru caressed her cheek and leaned in, softly pressing his lips to hers.
"I'll see you after the party okay?" he whispered in her ear as he walked away, leaving Haruhi breathless. She leaned back into the pillar and wondered about what she was going to do. Her biggest crush just kissed her and she just stood there like an idiot. She let her head fall back onto the pillar and began thinking on how nice Kaoru's lips felt against hers. She smiled as she touched her lips and turned back to the party. A huge smile on her face.
"Now, as out Christmas present to the ladies. Here, is the big dance you guys are looking forward to!" Tamaki spoke into the microphone. Haruhi took her place in the back by the pillar where she blushed remembering what had happened there. Lights shone on the hosts scattered around the hall and they each gave out a smile, looking round for the perfect girl. Once they got them, the walked to the middle and the music slowly started playing. The hosts laughed as some of the girls had no idea how to dance and they took small, unsure steps. The guests cheered at the end and the hosts decided to leave them having fun for a few more hours as they went up the club and opened their presents.
"MERRY CHIRSTMAS~!" Honey exclaimed as the door closed behind them and they all exchanged hugs. They walked to the clubroom and sat around the tree as they grabbed their presents and began opening them. They all enjoyed their gifts and watched as Hikaru and Kaoru opened their last gifts. The ones Haruhi bought them. She watched as Hikaru took off the paper and gasped at the expensive camera that was in his hands. Kaoru saw the huge canvas of drawing utensils and paper that he got and they both tackled Haruhi.
"Thank you so much!"
"You know us so well!" Hikaru began setting the camera and placed it on the table, facing the tree.
"Okay guys, group photo!" he exclaimed. The gang got together and Hikaru sat on the ground next to Honey as the flash began blinking signaling the countdown. Kaoru was in the back with Haruhi and he looked up. He smiled as he tapped her shoulder and pointed to the mistletoe that was directly above them. Haruhi shyly smiled and Kaoru leaned down and kissed her. The camera flash went off twice before a click was heard and the photo was taken. Hikaru ran to get the camera to see the photo and smiled when he saw his brother and Haruhi in the back. The gang took turns seeing the photo and they teased the two lovebirds. Kaoru waved it off as Haruhi blushed and looked away. He kissed her cheek and she smiled a little. This turned out to be a very good Christmas.
