Warmth

  

It was a wonder how quickly the next few months had passed by.  All of us spent our second Christmas and New Year's together, and it seemed even colder than last year.  Things were pretty much the same this time around; all of the hosts got on my nerves, but at the end of the day, I felt lucky to be a part of their lives.

I couldn't help but be reminded of everything that had taken place last time there was so much snow on the ground.  Fuyumi's wedding was one of the first things that came to mind, and I couldn't help but smile.  The cookie-baking contest was something that came to mind, too, and the memory of Hani-senpai eating all of the pastries we'd baked to his heart's content made me laugh to myself.

My plan was for the hosts dressed in Christmas attire for this meeting; Tamaki and Kyouya would wear Santa suits, Haruhi and the twins would dress in elf costumes, and Hani and Mori would wear matching reindeer costumes.  As silly as it sounded, they managed to pull it off and the customers were happy once again.

I looked out of Music Room Three's windows and stared at the snow with a sense of tranquility.  But, unfortunately, my peace had been interrupted in a matter of seconds.

"Oh, Hikaru, you mustn't!" Kaoru gasped as his brother tilted his chin up.  The two of them were at it again.

Hikaru chuckled in reply.  "But I can't help myself... if no one is there to keep you warm during the rest of the winter season, then who will?"

"I-I..." Kaoru exhaled as his twin pulled him closer.

"Kaoru.  I want to spend as much time with you as possible wrapped up in the sheets of our warm bed," Hikaru continued with a fiery passion in his eyes.

I could almost see the customers surrounding them having nosebleeds as they let out high-pitched squeals and flailed their arms in the air.  Even after a while, this whole forbidden brotherly love act still made me feel uncomfortable, but at least I was a little more used to it at this point.

Hani pouted, hugging Usa-chan to his chest as his eyes began to water just slightly.  "I can't find the box of chocolate mochi," he said.  "They were a limited time Christmas special, too.  I'm so sorry; I guess I can't share them with you pretty ladies," he sighed, looking down at the ground.

His group of customers sniffled, wiping the tears from their eyes with small hankerchiefs.  "Aw, Hani, please don't be sad!  It's okay, really!" they exclaimed.

Mori dashed over with a focused, tense expression on his face with the box that Hani had been looking for.  He swiftly chopped it in half, pulled a small package out, and strode towards Hani.  He bent over and held the package with the mochi to Hani's mouth, placing a hand on his shoulder.  "Mitskuni," he began.  "It was on the top shelf in the storage room.  You put it there so that no one would take them."

Hani looked up with a huge smile on his face and jumped into Mori's arms.  "Thanks so much, Takashi!  You're the best!" he beamed, cuddling up to Mori and giggling in an a way that made the guests squeal in adoration even more.
