HI! I know some people may be mad I am not updating my other stories, but that is because last month was NaNoWriMo and I was super busy. I am still super busy, but I will try to type up some during the Christmas break (which is only 7 days off of school this year TT_TT) Anyways, I hope you like the first chapter of this Christmas KH fanfic. I will get the second chapter up on Friday or Saturday.

Chapter 1

Naminè hated the Christmas season. She hated the fact that everyone was so cheery and the sound of carolers around every street corner. Most of all however, though the blonde girl would never admit it, she hated that no one but her family ever gave her a Christmas present.

So naturally, every Christmas Eve, Naminè would go through the typical Christmas traditions: leaving out a plate of cookies for Santa (even though Naminè and her sister Kairi already knew it was her dad that ate the cookies every year) with some milk to go along with it. Then her parents would let Naminè and her sister open a preselected Christmas present each, which was ALWAYS pajamas, and they all would enjoy a nice cup of hot cocoa before retiring for the day.

This year, however, Naminè was unable to get to sleep. The sound of her twin sister Kairi snoring in the next bed was just too loud for the blonde to handle. Slipping into her pale blue winter jacket and boots, the blue eyed teenage girl crept as silently as she could out of her room via window onto the fire escape. Descending as unobtrusively as she could in her clunky snow boots, Naminè decided she would fancy view from the top of the Twilight Town Clock Tower. It was a favorite haunt of hers, a place she where she could be in piece. Some of the blonde artist's best sketches were of the beautiful sunsets you could see from there.

After about ten minutes of walking through the masses of people singing Christmas carols and completely ignoring the girl in white pajamas who was making a disgusted face, Naminè had reached the clock tower. Climbing the stairs all the way to the top, the blonde sighed when she saw that no one was there. Suddenly, she heard a voice calling out her name from not too far down the stairwell.

"Naminè, hey Nami, wait up," said a flustered looking Roxas, the only guy at school who actually talked to her (besides Kairi's boyfriend and her cousin Axel.) He was holding a thermos and couple of ceramic mugs. Naminè hesitated as he climbed the last of the steps to the top. The spiky haired blonde must have seen her go into the clock tower and had gone running after her. But...why?

"Roxas," Naminè began as she leaned against the sandy brick wall. "Why are you here?"

He had finally caught his breath, but his face seemed to grow even redder than it had been before. "Um...I was wondering if you would like to have some of my mom's hot chocolate with me. It's really good." Naminè raised an eyebrow and said nothing. Roxas blushed more and blurted out what she knew the real reason was. "No one should be alone on Christmas Eve! I thought you would like some company!"

Sighing, Naminè motioned for him to pour out the hot chocolate. Roxas looked relieved, but Naminè was merely being polite. She didn't really want company on her least favorite holiday.

Brushing off some snow from the ledge the eager spiky haired boy set down the cap of the thermos and poured some of the warm brown drink into each mug. Handing a mug to Naminè, Roxas leaned against the bit of wall to her right. There was a long silence in which the two blondes did nothing but sip their delicious hot cocoa. (Well at least Roxas did. Naminè just stood there holding the mug for a bit of warmth.) Then Roxas spoke again.

"Why did you come up here by yourself? Shouldn't you be celebrating Christmas with your family?"

"They are all asleep in their beds," she replied. Naminè finally took a sip of the hot chocolate and her eyes widened. Roxas grinned at her. The drink tasted better than any other she knew of. With a slight hint of peppermint, the warm beverage was like a mixture of melted chocolate and milk. It was absolutely divine and Naminè's cup emptied quickly.

Leaning back against the wall, the blonde girl stared at Roxas, her mouth gaping open. All of her annoyance with Christmas was gone. The only thing she could think of was the taste of that hot chocolate. Roxas took a sip of his own hot chocolate and smiled at her.

"Did you like it?" he asked. Naminè nodded and closed her mouth. She stopped staring and turned to look at the Christmas lights that covered Twilight Town. For once in her life, Naminè truly wanted to say something about her feelings towards this jolly, holly covered season. Before she had lied and said that she loved Christmas, so only her sister Kairi knew the truth, but the hot cocoa Roxas had given her had sparked something inside of her. It was as if it had given her some kind of courage to come out with her feelings.

"The lights are pretty," Roxas remarked. That somehow set off Naminè. The urge to confess her hatred towards Christmas was so strong; it came out before she could even think about it.

"I hate Christmas!" the girl screamed. Roxas gave Naminè a startled look. She didn't want to hear what he had to say. The blonde girl in white pajama's turned from the spiky haired blonde and ran to the door to the stairs. Throwing it open, she began to rush down the steps as fast as her boot clad feet could carry her. Naminè could hear Roxas running down the metal stairs after her, but didn't look up, even when he called her name.

When she had almost reached the bottom, she heard Roxas stop coming down the stairs. Pausing to catch her breath, the blonde female looked up at him. He was a few flights above her and was pressing buttons on his phone. Naminè dashed down the last few steps. With a final glance at Roxas, Naminè slipped out the door and began to make her way home.
