Greetings: A Very, Merry Christmas to you all, and a Happy New Year from Hana Okita!

Actually, this Christmas Special was supposed to be in my newest story, Of Wrongs and Rights. But everyone kept wishing me 'Happy Holidays' or something similar, so I felt quite twitchy and did this eventually. So anyways, enjoy!

(LenKu Christmas special!) Under the Mistletoe – How to spend a Christmas Eve with your empty house, a cold winter, and your crazy lunatic friend.

PS: This is no typical Romance story where the guy totally meets the girl and goes all like, "Miss are you okay?"

And then the girl is like, Holy cow he's freaking hot
and then they become friends and then everything happens and they start to date each other and you're like, DAFUQ JUST HAPPENED

Miku slumped down on her bed. She could hear the cheery sounds of caroling from outside, the soft thud whenever a stupid heap of snow lands on the windowsill, and the chilly winter wind that blows into her room. She was so alone. This feels like Valentine's with snow. Immediately after she sprouted that thought, Miku regretted it. Now she felt worse.

Argh … why can't I just get a freaking boyfriend to play a game with me … this is like Single-Awareness Day … I wish I had some friend to talk to … but all of them have stupid boyfriends …

Miku flung a fluffy pillow across the room angrily. She had no family, her friends have someone to pass the Christmas Eve with, and she's alone, in this house! Now talk about being lonely. Miku is like a Forever Alone Meme, who'd spend time eating cereal and watching Harry potter alone at home. Well … but at least he has some meme friends, right? Miku doesn't even have Miku friends!

… Ironic.

Miku's eyes darted around the room, taking in how empty it was, the paint was peeling off from the walls, the floor was white with some blackish footprints (which was quite creepy, but Miku doesn't care anymore), a rack laden with shoes was threatening to break, her closet needs a door, her mattress was crumpled and wrinkled, her table was tilting to one side as one of its legs were gone, and her high stool was also on the verge of crumbling. Her fluffy pillow sat on a corner of the room.

Ouch. My furniture is so spoilt, and I was too busy moping in sadness about loneliness and S.A.D I didn't even notice! Miku touched the high stool gingerly. Immediately, the legs gave way and the whole thing crumpled. Miku lifted up on of the stool's legs and found out it was taped up by adhesive tape. No wonder …

Miku scrambled up from the bed with difficulty, and for the first time in hours, she became aware of the pain that was biting the bare parts of skin that weren't covered up by clothing. Miku shivered, rubbing her arms.

"Where is my coat?" She asked aloud, her voice breaking because she hadn't spoke in a long time … two days, to be exact. She was too sad to answer any of her phone calls. Miku dragged her weak legs to the peg where coats and hats were placed, and realized there weren't any coat.

Oh my god … first, I'm alone spending Christmas Eve; second, my furniture is too old for using; and finally: no coat. I'm going to go out in this five feet snow (She's JK) with no coat, no extra clothing, and a purse filled with money that could be easily snatched away because my whole body is numb with cold. Great.

Miku rubbed her hands together and blew into them, pressing her cold hands against her face. She was so desperate to get something warm that she was even seriously considering whether or not she should bring her blanket as a coat.

Seriously … it would be more like a cloak, not a coat, idiot. A heavy cloak in fact. Maybe I should just go out like this, and hopefully I can manage to a warm store ten blocks away … or I'll die. I'll die out of coldness in the street. Well, that's pretty much OK though, because my life sucks and if I died I could avoid more S.A.D sadness. (Actually being single saves money, because I don't need to buy chocolate-baking materials for baking stupid chocolates. Probably the reason why I'm so rich.)

So, bearing that happy thought in her mind, Miku grabbed her purse, stuffed it into her jeans' pocket (Not good choice, right, jeans in the winter), threw open the door and dragged herself outside.

Footsteps that were inked into the snow trailed behind Miku. She probably looks very stupid, wearing only a blouse (another stupid choice) and jeans with a pair of Converse Shoes out in the winter. Miku slumped down on the floor and curled up into a ball, deciding to just die.

Argh … life sucks so badly … I'm going to die … on the bright side though … I can stop worming in a hole passing S.A.D …

Miku sniffed. After what seemed like a whole year, something warm landed on her shoulder and two hands pulled the warm stuff around her.

"Miss? Miss? Are you all right, young lady? You're not dead aren't you?"

Miku looked up and sniffed some more. "Freaking yes I'm not dead," She said miserably to the blond boy. He looked at her with his blue eyes.

"I don't believe you."

"GO AWAY STRANGER!" Miku shouted and threw his coat back to him. "Just leave me to die!" She mumbled, burying her head into her knees.

The blond boy snorted. "I'm Len, by the way. Keep that coat if you don't want to die." Then he started walking away.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Miku raised his coat and waved it around. But the idiot boy – Len – didn't bother her. She looked at it, scoffed, and wore it. It was (obviously) too big and it smelled like bananas.

Eurgh … banana smell … Smells quite good though … I still don't like that boy ... freaking sucks.

So Miku made her way to the grocery, the too-long coat of Len dragging out behind her like some kind of fake bridal gown.

Len was walking around (alone, of course) in the streets because his sister totally ditched him to go on a date with her stupid boyfriend Kaito who likes to wear a scarf and eats ice cream in the winter. Seriously? Who is so dumb?

Kaito of course is dumb. My sister is dumb; her boyfriend is dumb … the perfect couple.

As Len trudged along the street, occasionally stopping to check his phone for any messages. Unfortunately for him, all of his friends had girlfriends or boyfriends or dates and they all went out for some romantic dinner and it totally sucked for Len so he does not have any friends to call or anything, which was totally horrible. Len sighed and closed his eyes, walking until he kicked something.

"Huh?"

Len looked down and almost screamed. A girl with green – wait, teal – pigtails that were pooling out behind her was lying on the floor curled up in a ball. Her skin was so white it was rapidly turning blue and her lips were purple. (OMFG that's scary)

Len leaned down and touched the girl's cheeks. OMFG it's freaking cold. Instinctively, the boy took off his coat and wrapped it around the girl. She stirred and looked at him groggily.

"Miss, Miss? Are you all right, young lady? You're not dead aren't you?" The girl looked at him and sniffed.

"Freaking yes I'm not dead," She mumbled sadly.

"I don't believe you." Len said stubbornly.

"GO AWAY STRANGER!" Miku exploded weakly and threw his coat back to him. "Just leave me to die!" She murmured, burying her head into her knees again.

Len snorted. Some people are really dumb. "I'm Len, by the way." He informed her. "Keep that coat if you don't want to die." Then he started walking away. Len heard the girl shout something at him, but of course he didn't bother.

How am I going to pass my Christmas Eve … should I cook a gigantic turkey and eat it to myself? Nah, I can't finish it … Oh, how about I ask the girl over?

At that, Len looked behind at the place where the girl had just been, but there was nothing but emptiness. He shrugged. Not like he cared, no clever girl would go out in the winter with a stranger who just gave her his coat.

So Len walked back to his house to bake some Pop Tarts and watch Barney or Barbie on TV just to realize how horrible Christmas Eve is. (Some people watch TV shows they hate really much just to … I don't know … torture themselves or something.)

Miku walked home happy, pulling a trolley filled with boxes labeled things like, 'Some Clothes' or 'Table' or 'Chair' or 'Cleaning Tools' or even 'Just a Random Box' Len's coat was draped over her arm like a butler would do to his towel, and she was wearing a new coat.

Soon Miku reached her house and she strolled inside, dumping the trolley there. Miku grabbed a piece of paper and began scribbling something in it with a pen. Finally she was done, and she grabbed an envelope, stuffed the letter inside, and took Len's coat to the washing machine.

Len was in the middle of watching Barbie and the Princess Charm School (Seriously, I've watched that movie and it's terrible. I mean no one can become a princess! And it's totally cliché! I mean, the Blair [or what's her name?] is like, OMFG I WON THE STUPID LOTTERY and then she totally goes into the school and then she is like, SOFIA and they're like, Whoa~ and then I'm like, WHAT THE /beep/ IS THIS PIECE OF /beep/?) When he heard the bell ring.

"Coming!" He called and walked to the door before he threw it open. He expected Rin to be standing there, mocking him and sadistically teasing him how he spent Christmas Eve alone and he's going to spend Christmas alone the next day. But there was no one there. "Is this a prank?" Len asked the winds. The wind sprayed snow to his face. Len looked down angrily and saw a basket with an envelope. "What's this?" He asked aloud, bringing the basket in.

Rin

"Oh, it's addressed to Rin." Len said, brushing the tiny bit of snow off the envelope. "Nah, I'll read it anyway. Serves her right to leave me alone in this house watching gross Barbie movies that doesn't make any sense." So he tore it open.

Hi, Rin!

You see, I was wasting time in my house moping around about how miserable I am, spending Christmas by myself, until suddenly I got to my senses and realized how spoilt my house was, and how cold I am. So anyways, I didn't have any coat because some idiot took it away; therefore I walked to the grocery store without a coat. But I got so cold in mid-walk I curled up in a ball and decided to die. Well, I would've died if this blond guy didn't stop me.

Len frowned. This blond guy sounds like him. Well, there are a lot of blond guys everywhere, so maybe not.

He totally gave me his coat and went away like that! But I took the coat anyway, because he won't listen to my calls. Now I have a new coat, so I washed it to give it back. You know a lot of people, Rin, so I was wondering if you could help? The boy has blond hair like I told you and blue eyes. He looks really like you, Rin, so I think he's somehow related to you.

Now this sounds totally like me, Len thought as he scanned the message.

Coat's in the basket, guy's quite hot, I know you like boys, Rin, you'll find him anyway. I think his name is Len … or something. I remember it was Len.

'Guy's quite hot'? Len stared at the sentence, rereading it for a few times before confirming it. Holy cow … she thinks I'm hot! And she remembered my name … sort of.

If you don't know the guy, I guess it's OK. Give me the basket along with the coat if you don't. My address is: /BEEEEEEEEEEEEP censored for the sake of Miku's fans because they'll totally attack her in her house/

PS: Rin, I've moved. Don't try to play clever and go to my old house. If you're Kaito, Kaito, back off and give Rin her letter. If not I'm going to go over and smack your Ice Cream into your face. Good boy. If you're that guy and you're reading this, sorry I said you're hot. You see, Rin has an eye for hot guys so … and if you're Rin, don't deny that you like hot boys.

Miku

Len goggled at the piece of paper. This is … very cool. Movie forgotten, Len grabbed his coat and letter, opened the door and plunged into the coldness.

Miku was busying herself with a pot of tea when she heard the doorbell ring.

"Coming!" She called, placing the teapot on a tray along with three cups. She opened the door, expecting Rin to be standing there along with Kaito, but when she saw the boy she least expected: the Len guy.

"H –" Miku slammed the door in his face, panting, and opened it again. He was still standing there.

"Err, hi." Miku greeted in a tiny voice, waving at him with her head down.

"So …" Len raised up the letter and Miku's eyes widened, "This letter …"

"Sorry about saying you're hot," Miku mumbled, "You see, Rin has an eye for hot guys, so I thought that if I said you're hot, she'd pay more attention to you …"

Len waved his hand hurriedly to assure her. "Oh no, no, saying that I'm hot is a compliment, I don't see why I should be mad!"

"So …" Miku looked away, trying to steer the subject to other stuff, because this Len person was too hot and Miku tried not to stare as he stripped off his coat, "How did you read …" She pointed to the letter in Len's hands, "… That?"

"Oh, erm," Len scratched his head. "Rin is … my sister …"

Miku gawked. "But … when I … I go … but … but … why didn't I see you when I went to Rin's house?"

"You did."

Miku screwed up her face. Flashbacks came back to her.

Miku went into the kitchen to get water. She bumped into a blond guy. Her first thoughts about him were: He's hot. And then she got back to her sense and mumbled a sorry.

Miku walked into Rin's room to get some stuff for the blonde. She saw a boy sitting on his bed, topless, playing the computer. Both eyes met and Miku blushed furiously, looked away.

"Err … you want anything?"

"Rin's stuff here?" Miku asked, shielding her eyes with her hands even though free eye candy is right in front of her.

"It's … next door."

"Oh."

A boy crashed into Miku and his books scattered to the floor. Miku gasped and knelt down to help him. She extended her hand to grab a book and the boy grabbed the same, so that their hands brushed.

Miku looked at the boy and they locked eyes for a second. Soon Miku snatched her hand away and the boy raised his eyebrows hotly with a smirk on his face.

"Sorry …" Miku mumbled, rubbing her hands.

"Liked it?"

Miku ran away from the boy who looked like he was about to rape her.

Miku stared at Len. "But you … you … book … topless … what … what?"

Len shrugged. "Considering you're alone …" He looked around at Miku's house, "Why don't you spend your Christmas Eve in Rin's house?"

Miku narrowed her eyes at Len. "You sure you're not going to rape me?"

Len snorted. "If I wanted to rape you I could do it in the street and right now."

Miku nodded. "Yeah …"

Rin and Kaito came into Rin's house. "I'm ho –" Clear laughter greeted them. Rin and Kaito looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and stepped inside.

"Len? Len did you bring someone here?" Two heads poked out from the back of the sofa. Miku giggled at Rin and Len just smirked. Rin raised her eyebrows suggestively and Len threw a pillow at her face.

"Don't bother her," Len mumbled to Miku under his breath, "If she asks anything."

"Len? Are you dating Miku?"

Miku and Len looked at each other and blinked. Then they laughed so hard they were technically rolling on the floor.

"Rin," Miku choked, wiping a tear from her eye, "We've just met! How could I date him?" She looked at Len and giggled. "Although I'd like to,"

"I'd like it too," Len grinned and they wasted time giggling at each other.

"Flirting now?" Rin wriggled her eyebrows and dodged two pillows that came her way.

Len ignored Rin and turned to Miku. "Spend Christmas with me tomorrow?"

Miku giggled. "With pleasure."

"WHY IS THERE A BARBIE SHOW? WHY ARE YOU TWO TOTALLY FLIRTING? WHY IS MIKU HERE? ARE YOU LYING WHEN YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T DATING?" Rin exploded.

Miku and Len pointed to the letter. "That is the reason why we met," They pointed to a pile of CDs, "That is a pile of Barbie CDs we've decided to watch because all of our friends freaking left us alone," They looked at Rin, "And no, we aren't dating."

As Rin and Kaito read the letter with great interest, Len nudged Miku who giggled.

"Pinky promise."

I'm sure you're like, O.O that escalated quickly. Yeah well, it's kind of rushed because I'm supposed to go to the church with my Christian Relatives for a Christmas Show (No, I'm not a Christian, I'm a Buddhist) and they're all rushing me to change.

Reviews, please~ New Year Special will be coming really soon! And Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to you!

With love,
