Alone For Christmas
By: Sedi
This has nothing to do with A Kitten For Your Thoughts by the way. ^^' Actually, it sort of contradicts it. And it's basically a one-person story, no shounen-ai. No kawaii ReixKainess. Sorry folks. It's Kai's POV. And a very short fic. O_o
Alone For Christmas
Christmas. Some say that it is a time to spend with family, but I think that it's a time to spend alone. To get away from everyone. You're with friends and family almost every day, so why not be alone on the holiday?
My grandfather doesn't even celebrate Christmas. He just brushes it off as if it were nothing. He does that to everything. Nothing concerns him, nothing means anything to him, and nothing ever will. Except for me. But his concern for me was never really good: all he was worried about was me not showing any weakness, and keep playing out as his puppet. And people think that his attitude towards everything had rubbed off on me.
Well contradictory to their beliefs, I actually do celebrate Christmas.
One year, I was foolish enough to ask Grandfather if we could get a tree for the front room to decorate. The old bastard slapped me good that time, and told me to never speak of it again. I didn't even bother asking what he would want for Christmas, for I knew that I would only get the same reaction from him.
So, every year I sneaked in a box with an artificial tree and a few ornaments into my bedroom. My domain. My only safe haven inside my own home, that Grandfather has never set foot in.
Every year I set up the tree, making sure it looked perfect, almost as if it were real.
Every year I decorated it with the same ten ornaments that I always had. The only ones that I ever dared to buy.
Every year I sat on my bed, and stared at the plain tree, Chinese take-out in my hand, wondering, thinking...
Maybe Christmas was meant to be spent alone.
The End
Aaaw... u.u R+R. It might not make Kai feel better, but it will sure as hell make my day!
