A/N: Hello! So this is my first fic. Not on this site, but EVER! So if it sucks, I'm really sorry. But at any rate, enjoy the story and let me know what you think? It'll only take seven seconds to make my day, think about it!
Naruto had always been alone on Christmas. As the most hated person in the village, he had not one living being to spend it with. He had grown used to this fact, treating the night like any other. Even as he began Team Seven, nothing changed. On Christmas Eve he would finish his training with the team, and would head back to his empty apartment, all the while ignoring the decorations put up around the village, keeping his ears on mute; meeting at dawn with a sullen face.
But, one year, on a whim, Kakashi had a Christmas party, much to the annoyance of Iruka. He invited all of the genin teams, and Naruto was on the verge of tears; never had he been included in anything.
As the years passed, Naruto learned many things about Christmas. It can be just like any ordinary evening, only worse, if you have no one to share it with. It can be mesmerizing when you are being kissed, for the first time under the mistletoe, and it can be immensely amusing to shop for decorations with a certain Sasuke.
Now, as he sits by the fire, with a warm mug filled with hot chocolate, with Sasuke asleep on his lap, Naruto makes the discovery that Christmas is his favourite time of year (except for when he has a meal at Ichimaru Ramen, of course).
The holiday of the snowy season is the time of the year where he can spend all day on a mission, and know that Sasuke, the love of his life will be home when he arrives. It's the time of year when he and his love can snuggle in bed until noon, basking in the muted light that shines from the snow-covered window. It's the time of year where everything and everyone is beautifully wondrous. Maybe that is the merry in the Christmas.
A/N: 'K, so I know it's rather short, but it's my first fanfic, give me a break? Telll me what you think please!
