A lone figure lay sleeping on the roof of Tsukiomi High, a cook book in its usual spot covering his face. Winter was upon them but the few days of warm weather had melted most of the snow. The sun warmed the cool cement under him making it the perfect time of day for a nap.
The solitary being stirred when the roof door opened and voices flittering in the breeze, eventually reached his ears.
"Ayumu!" One of the voices screeched, seeming to be only inches from his ear.
Said boy merely flinched at the high pitch and volume of his name but a groan erupted when a certain book was removed from over his eyes.
"I don't care what you want, just go away!"
"Come on Ayumu, it's the last day of school before Christmas break. You should hang out with your friends." Hiyono said, using the cook book as a weapon to smack the brunette upside the head.
Chocolate eyes glared at the blonde, "Thanks but no thanks. I'd rather spend my last day of school snoozing by myself." He huffed grabbing the book back.
"Yo Little Narumi, what's got your boxers in a bunch?" Kousuke smirked as he saw their Hope cringe at the nick name.
"Besides you, nothing."
"Jerk."
"Idiot."
"Bastard!"
"Asshole!"
"Enough!" Ryoko shouted punching the red head in the arm.
Ayumu had gotten used to having Kousuke and the other blade children hanging around him constantly and he could, for the most part, get along with them but that didn't mean he approved of it. The only reason he even tolerated them was because of Eyes. Since they started seeing each other just after that camping trip Kousuke came up with, it's made the blade children a little easier to deal with.
"What are you doing for Christmas, Little Narumi? Are you going to spend it with Eyes?" Rio, the smallest of the blade children asked.
Ayumu sighed, realizing now that he wasn't going to be able to get away from them, "Actually Madoka has planned a surprise trip for just the two of us. She wants the whole alone time, just family thing."
The amber eyed girl smiled sweetly, "Aww… that sounds like fun."
"Maybe to you, I'm just hoping for a roof, some heat and an indoor bathroom."
All eyes stared at the brunette, stunned and confused until Kousuke's laughter filled the roof top, "Where… the hell is… she taking you?" He asked between laughing and trying to breathe.
Ayumu's glare intensified, "I'm not sure but the last time we had family bonding we ended up sleeping in the dirt." The thought of Little Narumi rolling around in the dirt, made Kousuke laugh even harder. The brunette didn't respond, only stood and walked to the stairs.
Hiyono sighed, "Ayumu don't go. You have to learn to laugh at yourself."
"Does that mean I have to listen to him laugh too?"
The red head coughed as he tried to hold back his laughter, "Hey Little Narumi, you aren't going to tell Rutherford about this are you? He'll kick my ass if he finds out."
"As much as that would make me feel better, I wouldn't want to waste his time. Besides it's already become a ritual, you ruining my life one day at a time." Ayumu rolled his brown eyes before closing the door behind him and headed back to class.
Kousuke pouted, "Who the hell peed in his cereal?!"
"He always gets like this around the holidays." Hiyono said, amber eyes staring at the ground.
A loud thud was heard, right before, "Oww!!! What the fuck, Ryoko?!"
"Go find Ayumu and apologize! It's your fault he's upset." She said, threatening him with her raised fist.
Emerald eyes closed as Kousuke covered his head with his hands, "Fine fine, when I see him I'll tell him I'm sorry. Geez, happy now?"
"Ecstatic."

The day was over and Ayumu found himself not heading for the newspaper club room like he normally did but leaving out one of the side entrances of the school. He figured this way they would never find him and he could finally have that snooze at home as long as Madoka didn't leave work early which she probably would. The brunette left the school grounds, taking his usual route but slowed as he walked by a black limousine parked just around the corner. Reaching the end of the vehicle, he stopped letting the passenger roll down the window.
"Would you like a ride, Little Narumi?" He was asked as the door opened in front of him.
Ayumu slid into the limo closing the door behind him, "Must you continue to call me that?" He sighed, pulling the other into a chaste kiss.
"I thought you liked the nick name." The silver haired pianist smirked slightly.
A frown appeared on the brown eyed boy's face, "Who told you that?"
The two normally teased each other but today the brunette seemed to be in a little upset, "Bad day?"
"You could say that. It's just..." Ayumu's voice faded while he nuzzled the pianist's neck, "I don't care for Christmas."
Eyes wrapped his arm around the other's shoulder, "Having holidays that remind you that your family is incomplete must be difficult."
Chocolate orbs snapped open, "It's not that!" He said defensively sitting back up, "I don't care if he returns or not!"
"We're both aware that isn't true." Crystal blue observed the brunette intently, making eye contact for only a moment before brown orbs turned towards the window.
"I don't want to talk about this." He spoke softly. At that moment the limo came to a stop in front of Eyes' penthouse. The young teen reached for the door handle when his eyes actually glanced out the window, "Eyes what's with all the reporters?"
"There is a rumour going around that I am dating and they're most likely here to find out whom."
"What?!" Ayumu paled, "Why didn't you tell me this before?! I can't go out there now!"
The pianist merely shrugged, "I didn't believe it was necessary information. Besides you've been to my penthouse more than enough times to arouse suspicion. Now do you mind opening the door? I would like to get this over with sooner rather than later." He replied reaching around his Hope and grasping the handle, he released the latch while 'urging' Ayumu through the door.
The brunette stumbled out of the vehicle, the herd of paparazzi quickly crowding around him. The platinum idol stepped in front Ayumu, partly shielding him from the cameras. Two body guards rushed from the large building before them, pushing their way through until they found the teen star and his associate.
"Mr. Rutherford, Mr. Rutherford! Is it true? Are you involved with someone? Will you give us a name?" The reporters shouted, leaning as close as humanly possible recorders in hand.
Eyes waved the questions away, grabbing the bewildered teen by the wrist and led him through the paparazzi.
Once safely in the elevator, Ayumu sighed heavily, "I don't know how you can put up with that all the time?"
The silver haired boy shrugged slightly as the elevator came to a stop. The door slid open and both boys stepped out, moving across the hall to Eyes' apartment as he unlocked the door letting the brunette inside. Ayumu followed the other's lead slipping off his shoes, placed his bag on the floor and hung his coat in the closet.
The blue eyed teen sensation dropped his keys on the small side table and pressed the little red blinking button on the answering machine, Yo Rutherford, what's up? I was just wondering if you've seen or heard from Little Narumi. That reporter chick's been nagging me for hours about calling you. If you talk to him, make him call her so she'll get off my back. See ya.
A silver brow rose as the message ended, the brunette glanced up shaking his head slightly, "Don't ask," He walked the few steps into the pianist's arms and placed a kiss to his cheek, "I'd rather spend my time with you." Ayumu whispered, tilting his head to allow soft lips to trail warm kisses down his neck.
Eyes slid the blue jacket from the high school student's shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. The brunette gripped the other's shoulders, moaning softly as two hands slipped up his white shirt, gently caressing his chest. Those lips tore away from that tanned skin long enough to pull the shirt up and over the mess of brown locks and toss it to the floor. The leather clad teen slipped his hands from the other's chest to the buckles of his vest, leisurely working them open.
Brown eyes watched in awe as that lightly toned chest slowly came into view and once the vest was out of the way, Ayumu was pulled into a passionate kiss. The younger teen wrapped his arms around the other's neck, tangling his hands into the silver curtain that was his hair.
Pale hands pulled the brunette closer; gently pressing his hips against Ayumu's causing a loud gasp to escape his lips which in turn helped the silver haired boy to deepen the kiss. Their tongues danced elegantly, twisting and bending as one. Using this as a distraction, Eyes slipped his hand between them, undoing both their pants and slid the brunette's off his hips, revealing his growing arousal.
A blush quickly spread across Ayumu's cheeks at his sudden exposure. The pianist ran nimble fingers through thick brown tresses, a tiny smile on his lips at his lover's embarrassment. Eyes backed into the large couch and pulled the younger boy down on top of him, continuing to bring those soft lips down, capturing them with his own.
Ayumu sat up, straddling the teen star. He slowly ran his fingers from the silver hair draped over Eyes' shoulders down his chest and stomach, stopping at the leather covering the bottom half of his body. With the rosy colour still present on his cheeks, the young teen stripped the clothing off the other.
Eyes took Ayumu's hand and after kissing the tip of each finger, wrapped them around his own member. The blue eyed boy thrust gently into the tanned hand, using those strong fingers to smear pre-cum over his arousal. After a moment, the brunette leaned forward slowly lowering himself onto his lover's member, gasping slightly as he was stretched.
"Eyes..." Ayumu whispered breathlessly when the silver haired teen began pumping in and out, "Harder."
Agile fingers wrapped around the brown eyed boy's hips, pulling him down as he thrust deeper into that small body and grazing the spot far within him caused an unexpected moan to leave his lips. A pale hand moved from the boy's hip to his neglected arousal, roughly stroking it. Brown orbs slowly disappeared behind their lids as the brunette became lost in the pleasures he was being given.
Eyes watched silently as his lover started to move up and down, his head tilted slightly back and to the side, absently rubbing his soft finger tips over his own nipples producing moan after moan. The sight itself would have been enough to send the pianist into a sea of ecstasy but at that moment Ayumu shifted slightly striking that special spot directly, a scream erupted as he exploded across Eyes' hand and stomach. His muscles tightened around the silver haired boy's sensitive member causing the silent boy to groan in bliss as he released into the brunette.
Ayumu sighed heavily as he collapsed onto his lover's chest. The two lay there for a minute or so just listening to the breathing of the other.
Eyes wrapped his arms around the brunette, placing a kiss to his head, "We should get up. Perhaps have a shower, order food and watch a movie?"
"As wonderful as that sounds I have to be home early. Madoka's taking me to a secret location for Christmas and we have to leave at a retarded time in the morning," The younger teen said nuzzling the other's neck, "Though we do need a shower and I am hungry. It'd be nice not to cook for a change and Madoka can fend for herself for one night."
Eyes smirked as he was helped to his feet, "You go start the shower and I'll be there in a moment." He said walking to the phone.

The silver haired pianist left the bathroom, a towel draped loosely around his waist. A knock on the door distracted him from gathering Ayumu's clothes for answering the door. An attendant wheeled the food into the kitchen, staring across to the state that the main room was in.
Eyes glared slightly, "You are not here to gawk. If you're finished, get out."
The attendant blushed, bowing before leaving and closed the door behind her.
"Who was that?" Ayumu asked, exiting the bathroom, a towel over his head as he dried his hair a bit.
"Dinner has arrived." Crystal blue spheres glanced to the brunette as Eyes made his way back to his bedroom to change.
By the time he was done, Ayumu was dressed and had supper set out neatly in the living room, "Come sit." He patted the empty spot on the couch next to him.
"My my, you do put a lot of effort into the appearance of food even if it wasn't you who made it." The platinum idol observed as he took a seat beside his lover.
"Yeah well, it's kind of like our Christmas dinner since I won't be around on the actual day."
Eyes raised a silver brow, "Is that what has you all upset?" A light red covered Ayumu's face, telling him everything he needed to know, "It doesn't bother me that you will not be here on Christmas. Nor does it matter to me the day we spend together, they are all important to me."
A sincere smile appeared on the brown eyed boy's face, "Thank you Eyes." He whispered, wrapping his arms around the other's neck.
"Since we're considering this our Christmas, it should feel like a proper Christmas." The teen sensation abruptly stood, leaving the room once again before returning with a small box. He placed it into Ayumu's hands.
Brown bangs blanketed the boy's face, "Eyes, you shouldn't go out of your way for me, you didn't need to get me something."
"This is Christmas and from what I know of it, exchanging gifts is part of the tradition. Don't think for a moment that just because I don't usually buy something for the other blade children that I wouldn't buy something for you," Eyes reached out lifting the boy by the chin, revealing those chocolate orbs, tears on the brink of falling, "You are special to me, Ayumu. Nothing is out of my way when it is for you."
"Eyes..." The brunette sniffled slightly, a few tears escaping down his cheeks. Ayumu looked at the small box again before lifting the lid, revealing a plain rectangular white gold pendent inscribed with the word Hope, "Eyes, thank you but you shouldn't have. It's more then I deserve."
"Nonsense," He retorted, gently wiping tears from the brunette's face, "Don't be absurd. I'm allowed to give you whatever I think you deserve," The azure eyed boy removed the pendent from the box, placing it around Ayumu's neck, "See, it's perfect."
Ayumu smiled again, standing, he walked to his bag and digging through one of the pockets, pulled out a simple card. Once the teen was comfortable, he handed the card to Eyes.
As the pianist opened the card, a small piece of paper fell into his lap. Eyes unfolded the note, slowly reading over the handwritten words,
Eyes,
IOU one Christmas dinner with all the fixings. Food included.
Ayumu
"I know it's not much and I didn't know what else to get you. If you don't like it, I'll find you something else." Ayumu mumbled quickly, playing with the hem of his shirt.
"You're being ridiculous, I think it's wonderful." A gentle smile was directed to the brunette, "I heard there are a few that would kill for something like this from you."
The brunette ran a hand through his messy locks, "Maybe one or two." He sighed with a smile but glancing at the clock his smile faded slightly, "It's getting late I'd better go."
Eyes pulled him into a tight embrace, capturing the boy's lips with his own. They stayed like that for a few minutes until the need for air became too much. The blue eyed pianist caressed a tanned cheek, "Alright, my driver will take you home."
Both boys stood, heading for the door, "That's okay I can walk, it's not that far. I'll be back in a week; will I be able to see you when I get back?"
"You can visit whenever you wish," Eyes placed a kiss to the other's forehead, "Goodnight Ayumu."
"Night." Ayumu waved as the door closed behind him.

"Come on Ayumu, it's time to go!" Madoka's voice traveled into the brunette's room.
He sighed heavily, "Do I have to go? Can't I just stay home this time?"
The arsenic haired detective appeared in the doorway, "You're coming!" She screamed grabbing the teen and tried to drag him out of the room.
Ayumu caught the door frame, gripping it tightly, "NO! I don't want to go! Just shoot me instead... please!" He begged as his hands slipped. The brunette struggled while he was pulled out of the house.

"Ah, we're finally here." Madoka breathed, bringing the car she had rented to a stop.
Ayumu sighed, "Good. Can I take the blindfold off now?" Said boy directed attention to the black piece of cloth around his head. His sister in law had forced him to wear it the entire trip so the brunette couldn't figure out where they were going before they arrived.
"Not just yet." She jumped out of the vehicle, rushing to open the door for him before he got impatient and removed the blindfold prematurely.
The younger brother allowed Madoka to lead him through, what he figured to be at least a foot of snow, until they reached their destination. All the while Ayumu was praying for hot springs or a fancy ski resort, somewhere warm and preferably with a roof.
A hand pulled the tie, releasing the blindfold, "Ta-da!" The grey eyed woman said as she held her arms out.
"A cabin."
"Yeah, isn't it great?"
Ayumu shifted his gaze away from the woman, "Yeah great." He deadpanned, following Madoka into the wooden building.
"What do you think?"
Brown eyes scanned the room, "So... cabin is just slang for camping in a building."
Madoka rolled her eyes, "Must you always be such a pessimist? Why don't we bring in our bags then you can make us some hot chocolate." She watched the brunette nod slightly; noticing he wasn't very enthusiastic about being here but figured things would get better once he was settled in, they were going to be here a whole week.

Ayumu sighed bringing a cup of hot chocolate to his sister in law, who was sitting on the floor next to the fire place wrapped head to toe in thick blankets, "Here," He handed the cup off, "If you don't like the cold why did you drag the both of us all the way out here?"
"You're silly Ayumu! This is the best part of being out here, curled up next to the fire with a cup of cocoa."
The brunette rolled his eyes about to retort when ringing went off. Madoka reached over and picked up her phone flipping it open, "Narumi speaking. What?!?! You've got to be kidding me! This is my holiday! Fine, I'll be there as soon as possible." She huffed as she snapped her phone shut.
"Work?"
"Yeah, they say it's serious but don't worry I'm going to pawn this off and I'll be back by tomorrow." Madoka stood, grabbing her purse and headed for the door.
"Wait... what?! You're not planning on leaving me here alone, are you?"
The arsenic haired detective winked, "Relax Ayumu I'll be back before you know it." She closed the door behind her before he could argue.
"Wait! Take me with you!" He flopped on the couch when the door didn't open again, "I can't believe she left me here. This sucks."

The sliver haired teen sat at his piano, eyes closed, playing a soft melody he had played many times before. Enjoying the rare silence of his red headed associate, who, obviously had nothing better to do with his time then to intrude in on his privacy.
"Are you sure you have nothing else you could be doing?" Eyes asked without missing a beat in the melody.
"Nope." Kousuke smirked; knowing damn well just his presence annoyed the pianist.
A knock interrupted their conversation, "At least be of use and get that."
Kousuke snorted at the comment but rose none the less. A receptionist type woman stood in the doorway, "Is Mr. Rutherford available?" She asked softly.
"Hey Rutherford, are you available?" The red head called allowing the woman to enter the room.
A frown appeared on his face but he didn't open his eyes, "What do you want?"
"I have a message for you. The man who left it said it was very urgent."
Eyes sighed as the music stopped; standing from the piano he walked up to the woman, taking the envelope and dismissed her. Once the door was closed behind the woman, blue orbs eyed the plain white envelope carefully as he moved back to his piano. It was quite heavy to hold only a letter which put Eyes on edge. He opened it slowly, pulling the paper from inside and reading its contents.
Kousuke strolled up to Eyes, "What's so important that it couldn't wait?" He asked glancing at the other blade child to find his azure spheres wide with shock.
"Little Narumi's been taken."
"Are you serious?!" The red head stated, taking the letter and reading it over for himself.
Meanwhile Eyes dumped the envelope onto the black surface of his piano, the object that spilled out was none other than the gift he himself had given Ayumu.
Emerald eyes stared at the pendent, "What's that?"
"Proof."
