Chapter 20 | The New Year

--five days later--

~Arabella's POV~

Five days ago we left Africa and flew back to Japan.

Even though we all had a blast at Africa, it was time come home. After all, our winter break wasn't over yet, we still had New Years coming up. In fact, it's two days from now.

Right now, the Host Club and I are at Tamaki's estate, watching that creepy-as-hell Christmas/horror movie, Krampus.

We were about halfway through, and Tamaki was shuddering and shaking. "W-Why did we agree to w-watch this???" he studdered.

Honey was shaking and hiding under a blanket. He had stopped watching when Krampus first came on screen. "S-Save me, Takashi...! Krampus is gonna EAT ME!!!" he squealed.

Mori held him closer.

"Come on, Honey-senpai, Krampus isn't even real." Hikaru and Kaoru said.

"Y-Yes he is!!!" Honey gulped.

Hikaru rolled his eyes. "Please, it's not even..."

"... that scary..."

"Sh-Shut up, you shady tw-twins...! It is VERY SCARY...! I can't believe this isn't rated R...!!!" Tamaki shouted.

I sighed. "Come on, Senpai. You know it's not real. It's just a mov--"

Suddenly, there was a jump-scare and Krampus popped on the screen.

Honey shuddered beneath his blanket, Tamaki screamed and hid his face, I gave an embarrassing squeal and crawled over to the person nearest to me.

It was Kaoru.

"Ya' know what?" I said as I clutched Kaoru tightly. "Maybe it is somewhat scary..."

Beside Kaoru, Hikaru smirked. "See, Kaoru? What did I tell you? This movie would have Arabella clinging to you in no time. Why do you think I sat you two next to each other?" he said.

Kaoru and I blushed. I immediately tried to let go of him, but he held me closer to him.

"It's okay. Don't listen to Hikaru. You don't have to let go." Kaoru said.

I blushed harder.

I didn't want to let go, I liked being close to Kaoru... Wait, is that a bad thing for a FRIEND to say?!

Suddenly, Hikaru held up a box. "Hey, Kaoru, I almost forgot... I got you a late Christmas present," he said as he handed it to Kaoru. "Go on, open it."

Kaoru smiled at Hikaru and opened the box.

All that was inside was a picture...

We all looked over Kaoru's shoulder to see it.
