Sasuke reached up toward the top of the light covered tree, placing the star upon it's top. He stepped back and looked at his work. The tree shone with soft white, glittered stars. The halls were rimmed with fake snow covered pine branches with little frosted blue berries poking out from in between the fake growth. Intertwined with the berries were blue lights that made the berries shine with radiance, adding imaginary warmth to the room. The front door lead to the snow covered ground outside which was rimmed with pine tree branches and cranberries that lent their fragrances to the ones already in the air.

[I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me.]

As Sasuke looked around the room that radiated a homely feel, it gave him a slight comfort and the idea that he might feel slightly happy on this cold night. He felt he should be satisfied with his work of decorating his home for the first time in his life. But he didn't. He felt as though it wasn't there, that he hadn't done anything at all. Sasuke made his way over to the couch near the fire and sat gazing at it, resting his elbows on the coffee table that was rimed with mistletoe. After a moment he looked down at a piece of overturned paper, which he scowled at for a moment. He picked it up and flipped it over, reading its contents yet again.

[Please have snow, and mistletoe
and presents on the tree.]

He looked at Naruto's writing, the words scribbled at the top "Your Invited!" and below giving information about the party. His eyes then rested upon the note that Naruto had left for him "Just be there Sasuke-teme! ~ Naruto" He continued to stare at it and again the same question came to mind every time he read it. "Why. Why doesn't he hate me like everyone else?"

[Christmas eve will find me.
Where the love light leads.]

About a year ago Naruto had finaly gotten Sasuke to come back to the village, though it had taken most of three full years for him to do so. They returned to the village, but since Sasuke had come back most of the villagers despised him, glaring at him and constantly cursing him. The only reason they didn't attack him was because they believed that they needed to let him 'breed' so that they wouldn't lose the sharingan that he held. Most of Sasuke's old friends though stayed by his side, but the one that stayed closest was Naruto. Naruto, for the past few months always seemed to leaping out of some random place to scold the villagers for treating Sasuke the way they did. This confused Sasuke, for he couldn't find a reason that Naruto would still like him, let alone even care for him in the slightest.

Sasuke sighed and laid down sleepy from the late night, last minute, decorating of his house. "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. And Naruto's party. What to do..." Sasuke though as he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

[I'll be home for Christmas.]

In his dreams the warm smile of his best friend played in his mind as he envisioned himself spending Christmas Eve with Naruto. Naruto opening presents, messily like he always did, and Sasuke opening one for the very first time.

[If only in my dreams.]
