Day 1; getting out/putting up decorations
Stan jumped off the couch when he heard a knock on his door. His parents weren't home, so he knew it wasn't one of their friends and could only mean it was one of his. When he opened the door, he was a bit surprised to see Kenny, truthfully he was hoping for Kyle or... maybe even Wendy? Even so, Stan grinned at his sandy blonde friend.
"Hey Ken. Come on in." Moving out of the way, Stan shut the door when Kenny shuffled inside and yanked down his hood, a light huff escaping him.
"God damn it's cold outside." He grumbled, stamping his shoes off on the mat, snow covering it.
Stan just laughed and slapped Kenny on the back before he moved to face him, crossing his arms with a smirk. "So what brings you around stranger?" He asked, slipping a horrible southern drawl in there.
The incredelous look Kenny shot at him just made Stan burst out in laugter. Something about Kenny always made him feel a bit lighter and happier.
"Well...I was wondering if you wanted to go window shopping with me for a bit? It's.. December and well... I never get to do anything for Christmas and it's not like I get anything or have money to buy things so. Just, will you go shopping with me? You won't tease me like Cartman will, and I don't need to worry about you gushing over my like Kyle would, the mothering jerk always tries to buy me stuff if I like it." Kenny crossed his arms and looked at the ground, hiding an ashamed blush that had spread across his face.
Stan blinked at Kenny for a second, rather confused by his friends sudden softness. "Well I mean.. I guess why not. Lemme go grab my coat and we can head into a better town or something. This hell hole probably doesn't have a hell of a lot.. minus maybe Walmart and.. yeah let's skip that." Laughing to himself, Stan grabbed his coat and hat, slapped them on and grabbed his car keys, glancing at Kenny. "Lets go, buttercup."
Heading outside, he waited until Kenny was behind him to close and lock the door, heading to his car whilst whistling. As they got in, he heard a murmured 'thank you' from Kenny, and Stan just flashed him a grin. "It my pleasure. I needed to go shopping for the guys, including you, anyways. I'm thinking, maybe some sexy green lingerie for Kyle, maybe some granny panties for Cartman and you... well you know what, I'm not even sure." Stan started the car quickly, whistling a bit more, his blue eyes bright.
Kenny chuckled and buckled up, glancing around the semi-dirty car. "Please, I go comando. I don't need any of that shit." He purred playfully, relaxing in the car like he owned it. Granted, Stan was always up to giving Kenny a ride, so he basically did.
Stan snorted, glancing at Kenny sideways as he pulled out from the driveway. "That's unsanitary bro."
"Hey, it's a nice sense of freedom." Kenny laughed and closed his eyes, stretching out widely, groaning a bit.
They drove in silence for awhile, just enjoying each other's company. Stan shifted and pressed a button on his radio, turning it up to blast the constant Christmas music, singing to a couple of them periodically. Kenny let out a little laugh while Stan crooned to 'wishing for a White Christmas', and eventually Stan gave up and laughed with Kenny.
When they reached the next town, Stan parked next to a Christmas only shop and got out, flashing a smile at the Blonde. Kenny grunted and got out of the car, following Stan into the shop. They spent the day just shopping, and laughing over the stupid gag gifts Stan bought, especially the horrible Santa and Elf underwear Stan had bought Cartman. It was oddly inappropriate, but that made it the best present of all in the end.
While Stan paid, Kenny headed out to the car, and in his absence, Stan grabbed one thing he'd been looking at and added that to the purchase before joining Kenny so they could head home. As they pulled into Kenny's driveway, Stan put the car in park and turned to Kenny, grinning.
"Hey Ken?"
"Hmm?" Kenny turned and looked at Stan, halting his exit from the car.
"Let's do Christmas this year... together okay?" Stan murmured, watching his friends face.
Kenny frowned a bit, and went to reply, however he thought better of it and just nodded and smiled. "Sure Stan. Now go home before your mom files a missing persons case. Honestly, we've been gone forever." He joked and got out of the car, closing the door.
