[A/N: A Christmas story I wrote for a Holiday competition on a forum I belong to. We had to write a holiday story with one of our characters. This is what I came up with. I'll probably add another chapter here, and tie it up with how Yuki Responds to Braska's sweet attempt.]
Disclaimer: I do not own FFX or the Characters.
Braska contemplated the placement of the last few candles carefully, studying the arrangement that he had set already. He was humming to himself – a carol of season. After a second he set down the last of the candles, satisfied that the table was complete. Eight candles of different colors, and poinsettias. In his mind, the meanings ran through.
Poinsettias for Purity
A Green candle for Life
Red for Strength
Light Pink for Faith
Lavender for Spirituality and Compassion
Blue for Peace
Orange for Emotional Healing
Ivory for Balance
And Black for Protection
Bright blue eyes closed for a moment as he released a deep breath, when he opened them again, he began to light the candles around the flowers, careful not to catch any of the petals on fire. Once that was done, he moved away from the table, turning his attention to the other preparations of the night.
I need to finish dinner before she gets home. The realization reminded him that there was only about two hours before Yuki would return. The male set to work immediately, bright cheer undiminished by noting that he was beginning to run a little short of time.
Gathering together the ingredients Braska began to put the meal together. Sliding it into the oven, he sat a timer and left it at that. It'll be ready just in time, too. He thought with a smile. He hoped that she would be pleased with his surprise for Christmas. He had attempted to balance Yevanite tradition with Al Bhed and had come up with a bit of a mess, but he was happy with it.
[A/N: Yuki is the name I used for Yuna's mother.]
