„Soooo, Christmas will be soon, right?", Otoya was smiling widely at Tokiya, sitting on his bed and watching the other packing a small suitcase. "You're going anywhere?", he asked casually.

Tokiya turned around, his gaze catching Otoya's wide grin, all the happiness the other was emanating. "Well, yeah, that's what I'm packing for, you know...", he answered coldly, "Some kind of Hayato farewell- tour, as far as I was told..."

"Ha, so you can finally put away those clown costumes you hate so much, can't you?", Tokiya couldn't help but give a small smile at Otoya's comment. "Yeah, I guess...", he answered.

Turning again Tokiya resumed his packing silently.

"Will you be home for Christmas?", Otoya's voice disturbed the peaceful silence once again, lacking its usual confidence and revealing a hint of insecurity. Closing his suitcase Tokiya sat down on his own bed and looked at the other curiously.

"I'll be staying here, you know, and I was just wondering, if you would too, but I don't know about your family or what you usually do at Christmas or where you spent it or if you would even spent it here, if you knew I was there or if you'd like to spent Christmas together with me, but maybe you haven't even thought about that too, or maybe -", Otaya started bubbling. His cheeks were tinged in a faint pink and his words kept tumbling out, stumbling over each other.

Tokiya watched in amazement how the other babbled away, the words adorable and cute crossing his mind.

Shaking his head he took a moment to regain his composure. "I'll be staying here as well...", he interrupted the flood of words still spilling out of Otoya's mouth ,"I guess avoiding you just isn't on the list of things I'm capable of."

Otoya looked up just in time to see the hint of a smile grazing Tokiya's features, fading away just as quickly, regarding the other with the brightest smile he had given him in a long time.

The next morning, Tokiya's suitcase was sitting packed and ready next to Tokiya's bed, waiting to get picked up and leave for one whole week.

Tokiya himself was just getting ready and Otoya was lazing around on his bed, half watching the blue haired man and half scribbling down new lyrics. He was waiting.

"So, I'm leaving now", Tokiya finally announced. He shuffled his feet a bit, looking uncomfortable. Otoya's eyes snapped up from his sheet, a hint of surprise on his face. "Oh, okay", he said.

Just when Tokiya reached to pick up his suitcase, he jumped up from his bed. "W-wait, I'm gonna help you with your stuff!", Otoya hurried to say, a bright smile appearing on his face again with the idea.

Tokiya blinked. He seemed confused, and stared at Otoya for a moment. The other was still smiling, his ever-bright and captivating smile, and Tokiya felt just the slightest hint of a smile tugging on his own lips, too.

Otoya being helpful like this was… really nice. Adorable even. How could anyone ever say no to that.

"Uhm, okay. Yeah, go ahead", Tokiya said. Otoya's smile widened a bit, becoming even a little brighter.

"Yay", he hummed and hurried forward, grabbing the suitcase and dragging it towards the door. Tokiya followed him, carrying his coat only.

When they were downstairs and at the front gate, a car already waiting for them, Otoya stopped.

He put the small-but-surprisingly-heavy suitcase down with a sigh. Tokiya's eyes were on him when the redhead stretched a bit to ease the tension in his muscles, and he had to smile, feeling just a bit guilty- But just a bit, and in fact more touched by Otoya's eagerness to help.

"Well – ", Tokiya started. The driver in the car was waiting, the engine already running. Otoya caught his gaze – and all of a sudden, his smile dropped. Now it was Otoya's turn to shuffle his feet. "Uhm, yeah. Right. Well then, uhm – s-see you at Christmas? Yes?", he mumbled, and his eyes were drawn to Tokiya again – they were hopeful, almost pleading.

Tokiya blinked, surprised. Otoya looked so helpless right now. He felt his cheeks warm up a little, and nodded decidedly; maybe with a bit too much determination.

"Yes, I'll see you at Christmas", he answered. Otoya grinned, relieved – but compared to his usual smiles, he somehow still looked rather tense.

"Well, then", Tokiya said again. He felt himself tensing as well – this was slowly becoming awkward, and maybe it was simply because he didn't want to see that… sad look on Otoya's face. This wasn't such a big deal, after all.

He took another step towards the car, opening the door. "Wait!", Otoya suddenly yelled, and made Tokiya flinch. "What's-?", the other asked, turning on the spot.

He didn't get to finish his question, though; in the blink of a second, Otoya's lips were on his, pressed against Tokiya's mouth firmly.

The kiss was soft, warm – somehow almost electrifying. Otoya had his eyes pressed shut, as if trying to shy away everything else – but he still broke away after only a second. Then, he stared at Tokiya, wide-eyed, as if it had been him who had started the kiss so unexpectedly. This wasn't something Otoya had planned, after all. Not now.

Tokiya himself was silent, his mouth hanging open slightly; he stared at the redhead, and waited, hoping for him to explain something.

This didn't happen, though. "S-sorry, have a nice trip, Tokiya!", was all that Otoya managed to stutter before he fled – literally running away. His lips were burning just a bit, the feeling of Tokiya's warmth was still lingering on them, the feeling of the soft touch.

What the hell had he just done?

Tokiya was left alone and speechless at the car, watching the redhead leaving. "Otoya, what…?", he whispered, his lips quivering just a bit. His cheeks felt a lot warmer than usual, and he was just so confused.

Hope you liked the first chapter, next one is coming soon ;)
