I just wanted to thank all of the people who favorited and reviewed my other stories. It really means a lot to me. :)
Another Soriku one!~ I love this pairing. It's so cute! If you see any mistakes, tell me so that they can be fixed!
Oh, and I just noticed something awesome! For my word program, if you try to spell-check 'Zexion', then 'Lexicon' is one of the choices. XD
Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope all of your wishes come true!

"Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful…"
Sora sang along softly, not wanting Riku to hear him. Today he and Riku had gotten a coupon for two dollars off for the Celebration in Lights, and Sora had somehow convinced the silver-haired boy to go with him.
"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" Riku flashed a curious glance over at him from the driver's seat. Oops…Sora flushed with embarrassment and grinned sheepishly.
"There it is, Sora!" Riku took a gloved hand off the wheel to point at a giant, flashing sign. The brunette in the passenger seat wriggled joyfully as Riku pulled into the line of cars. The vehicles were moving at the speed of an inchworm, or at least Sora thought so. He'd never been to the Celebration in Lights, whereas Riku went every year with his family. That was probably why his boyfriend wasn't excited.
"Hey, is that Demyx?" Sora leaned forward to see inside the booth better.
Riku nodded in conformation. "Looks like it. Who else would have a hairstyle like that?"
Finally, the car in front of them went through. Sora watched them drive off with jealousy, knowing that they would see the lights before him.
"Sora! Riku! Hi!" Demyx exclaimed when he saw who it was. "You came to see the lights!"
Sora giggled at Riku's exasperated expression, knowing exactly what the silverette was thinking.
"Yes, Demyx, we came to see the lights. And we have a coupon."
The dirty-blonde yanked the coupon and the cash from Riku's hand, then began pressing buttons on a cash register.
"Here you go!" He chirped happily, then handed Riku his change. "Have fun!"
Riku groaned as they began the drive through the lights. "Why did they let him work here?"
"Well, Zexion works here too, so he probably got Demyx the job." Sora said thoughtfully. He gasped as the first shining Christmas lights came into view. "Oh! Riku, they're so pretty! Can I roll down the window?"
"One second." The older boy reached up and pulled the screen covering the window on the top of the car. He had a little trouble keeping his eye on the car in front of them and tugging the window open, but he managed. "There. Now stick your head out the top, you can see it better."
"Good idea!" Sora climbed up so that he sat on the top of the car. He figured Riku wouldn't mind since he was so small.
Riku turned up the radio so that Sora could hear it, and then called up, "I used to do that when I was little!"
"This is awesome!" He barely heard Sora's amazed statement. Riku smiled, happy that something that he did every year could make Sora so joyful. The rest of the drive was silent, aside from the radio. Sora occasionally flashed a smile like starlight down at Riku, which Riku returned lovingly.
At the end, where a lit-up Santa waved goodbye, Sora climbed back down. His eyelids were dropping, and he slid right into his seat with a sigh.
"We should go again next year…" He mumbled.
"Yeah." And Riku meant it.
:::::
Me and my sister always stick our heads out the top window. :P It's even funner that way. Oh, and Celebration in Lights is real, and there really is a light-Santa waving goodbye.
Oh, and if you've read Teacher Teacher, please vote on my profile. I really do want to continue it, but I need your opinion. I have ideas for both a chapter story and a sequel, but I can't decide, so I ask you guys! :3 Thankies much!
