The Gift
(A Christmas Surprise for Aya)
Part 1

T'was the night before Christmas, actually it's a week before Christmas, but why quibble about the details….

T'was a night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….

…until…

"Are you guys out of your mind? No! Nyet! Non! Iie! Never!"

"Simmer down, will you, Ken? Do you want Aya to hear you?" Youji drawled out.

"Aw, c'mon, Ken-kun…" Omi wheedled, trying to coax the irate Ken to settle back down on the floor. "It's Christmas after all."

Ken sputtered indignantly. "The fact that its Christmas doesn't mean I have to make a fool of myself."

Youji arched an eyebrow at Ken and turned to Omi. "I told you he wouldn't agree."

Omi just shrugged.

Fine. Omi thought. So Ken-kun didn't agree the first time. Still, its just a minor wrinkle in his plans. He had planned out a perfect Christmas for them that entailed everyone to be happy. And Omi was willing to move heaven and earth just to accomplish that. It was time to change tactics on Ken-kun.

"Didn't you tell me that people should be happy on special days, especially Christmas, Ken-kun? And that you wanted the four of us to be happy this Christmas"

"Of course I do, Omi, still…"

Omi didn't give Ken a chance to explain as he plunged on. "And you know how unhappy Aya-kun is, with Aya-chan still comatose in the hospital. Don't you want to at least try to make Aya-kun happy, Ken-kun?"

Omi saw Ken waver as guilt and something else settled in Ken's eyes.

Aa, the guilt tactic always worked on Ken-kun. Omi knew he was hitting below the belt, manipulating naïve Ken-kun into agreeing but he didn't retreat.

/Gomen, Ken-kun. But this is really for your own good too./

Ken-kun was wavering, Omi could see that but he needed to be prodded some more. Omi looked at Youji, glaring a you-promised-to-help-so-what-are-you-waiting-for glare at him.

The older man caught the glare and arched his eyebrows.

/Saa, Omi can be such a bossy kid sometimes./

Youji sighed to himself. This wasn't his style at all but he had promised the little runt that he would help.

"Yeah, Kenken. Don't you want to try and make Aya happy?"

Brilliant comment, Youji! Kuso! He really didn't know what to say to convince Ken though so he ignored Omi's exasperated stare.

"Of course I do." Ken said slowly…

"And don't you think our plan is the best way to do that…" Omi pounced as doubt crept into Ken's voice.

"No…"

"C'mon Ken! It's a perfectly good plan." Youji chimed in.

"It's a cockamamie excuse for a shitty Christmas surprise." Ken burst out glaring at Youji, he really *didn't* want to go with the plan.

"Ken-kun…" Ken turned to see Omi, his eyes all big and round and the threat of tears shining in them. Good gods! Not that, anything but that.

"Alright, alright. It's a good plan Omi."

Omi's puppy dog eyes didn't change though. "And you agree to be part of it?" If anything, Omi's eyes seem to have intensified and the tears looked like it would burst out at any moment. Ken hastened to reassure him.

"Hai, hai, I will."

As quick as a wink, Omi's teary eyes changed and the boy jumped up and hugged him. "Sugoi! That's good Ken-kun!"

Ken blinked. No one could switch from being hurt to that happy in just seconds. Damn, he'd been had! Omi tricked him…damn the kid, he knew just where to push to make him agree. Ken looked at Youji who was smirking at him in triumph. Ken sighed.

/Ah well, I'm in, for better or worse./

"Wai! Wai! This is going to be good." Omi told the two of them. "Now we have to find a box large enough to fit Ken-kun in, wrap it up, put Ken-kun in Aya-kun's room and wait for Aya-kun to open it. I'm sure he'll be so surprised…"

"Anou…"Ken interrupted Omi's monologue. "What I'm wondering at is why *I* have to be the one to go into the box. Youji, I understand. It would be hard to fit that frame in any box." He grinned at Youji. "I would have thought that you'd be the more sensible choice, Omi, since your smaller and all…"

Omi looked at Youji at Ken's words and remembered what Youji had told him…

//

"Really, Youji-kun?"

Omi's eyes were as round as saucers at what Youji had told him.

"Really, Omi. Do you think I'd make something this outlandish up?" Youji told him, lighting up another cigarette.

"Demo…I thought Aya-kun was in love with Sakura-chan."

Youji barked out a short laugh. "That's what I thought too but there you go."

"How exactly did you get Aya-kun to admit it, Youji-kun?"

Youji smirked. "With the sure-fire Kudou method. I got him drunk."

At Omi's disapproving stare, Youji defended himself. "Hell, the man was severely depressed Omi. I just happened to see him leave the hospital after seeing Aya-chan. And the only solution to something like that was to drink the depression away….Anyway, Aya doesn't have a high tolerance with liquor. Got him drunk with just 4 shots. And you wouldn't believe just how talkative Mr.-Silence-is-golden is when he's drunk. That's when it slipped out."

Omi blinked imagining a very drunk and very talkative Aya Fujimiya…Aya-kun slurring his words and sharing his secrets…and came out with a blank. It was beyond imagining…

"At first it was Aya-chan this, Aya-chan that. I was really getting quite bored when that interesting bit slipped out."

Omi shook his head with wonder. "I really can't believe that Aya-kun fell in love with Ken-kun. What a wonderful thought."

//

And that's why Omi and Youji had decided on this most perfect Christmas gift to make Aya happy. Surely if Aya saw Ken burst out of his gift, he'd at least perk up a little from his despondency. Omi had plans of decorating Aya-kun's room with mistletoes and putting in candles too. Now, if only Ken was amenable, this Christmas would also be one the both of them would never forget.

Youji-kun had shook his head at Omi in surprise. He had told Omi that he never knew Omi was a romantic.

Of course, they still had to determine if Ken even felt the least bit attraction to Aya-kun too.

"Er, because…because you're more cheery bouncy than I am?" Omi told Ken weakly.

Ken smiled wryly. "I doubt that, Omi."

"Because Omi is claustrophobic." Youji told Ken, making Omi turn his head sharply and glare at Youji.

Claustrophobic? Really, that was untrue. Omi wanted to tell the both of them but he realized that Youji-kun was helping the situation along so he suffered in silence.

/I'm going to get you for that, Youji-kun./

"He is?" Ken said, blinking a few times. "I never knew that. That true, Omi?"

"H…hai, Ken-kun." Omi managed to choke out as he glared at Youji.

Ken sighed. "Alright, then I guess I'll have to be the one inside the box." He glared at the two of them. "But I'm not going to dress up in a bloody Sinter…er, Santa Claus suit or anything."

"Of course not Kenken. Would we do that to you?" Youji said innocently enough.

/Santa Claus outfit? That would be ridiculous! Now your birthday suit [1], that would be better! And more interesting too./ Youji thought wickedly, chuckling to himself. Now if only he could let Kenken agree then Aya would be spending Christmas night with interesting possibilities.

===============
[1]birthday suit - er, for those who don't know what a birthday suit is…its what you wore when you were born…
