Christmas time was here and everyone was gathering at Genkai's temple for a Christmas Eve party.
Yusuke was grinning happily as he walked towards the temple with two bags of presents hanging on his shoulders. The others had sent him around to their houses to gather the presents for everyone from their respective homes, which was why he was so late in arriving at the temple.
There was a light dusting of snow on the ground that crunched beneath the Mazuko's feet as he neared the side door to the temple, but the gray skies spoke of more to come before the night was through.
Yusuke could feel the cold air nipping at his light winter coat, but his quick pace and the excitement from the upcoming party kept him warmer than the fleece could.
He opened the door and went in quietly, hoping that he would be able to sneak up on Keiko. She always made the cutest squealing noise when he managed to startle her. Of course the squealing noise was usually followed by a strong slap, but Yusuke was willing to deal with momentary pain if it meant being able to tease his girlfriend.
He looked around, taking in the festive decorations as he walked further into the room.
There was garland strung along the walls, bisected here and there by branches of holly, and above every entrance way was a sizeable sprig of mistletoe, which he was sure was Kuwabara's doing. That man was always out for the next way to embarrass his best friend, and Yusuke couldn't suppress a smirk at the obviousness of this latest prank.
After he placed his gifts under the huge Christmas tree that had also been decorated in the seasons best, he headed in the direction where he sensed his friends when he saw someone lying on the couch that had been pushed to the side to make room from the tree.
Yusuke became concerned when he noticed it was Kurama's red mane that was trailing down the side of the couch.
Yusuke walked over to the couch quickly, his concern making him move a little faster than he should have for his human appearance, and knelt next to it and reached out to check if the redhead was awake.
"Kurama you okay?" Yusuke asked worriedly as he placed a hand on the fox's shoulder.
The redhead shifted to his back in response, a hand resting weakly on his forehead.
"No, I am afraid that I have a cold and a migraine. I would go home if I wasn't so dizzy and nauseous…could you see if Hiei is here yet please?" Kurama asked quietly wincing in pain even as he spoke.
"Sure," Yusuke assured him quietly as he stood up and started toward the kitchen, "Rest. I'll let you know if he is here."
Moments later he entered the kitchen, his plans to scare Keiko put aside in order to find help for his friend.
Everyone greeted him, and Keiko came over and hugged him with a content smile on her face. The holidays always made her happy.
Yusuke smiled down at his girlfriend before looking over her head to speak to the group.
"Hi guys. Is Hiei here yet?"
"I just arrived," The fire apparition came into view directly in front of Yusuke as if summoned by his name.
He stood in front of Yusuke looking around.
"Where is Kurama?"
Keiko piped up from her position in Yusuke's arms, her back now against his chest so that she could face the room.
"Kurama wasn't feeling well so he went to lie down in the main room."
"Is he dying?" Hiei's eyes widen before narrowing and settling on the godling seated next to Botan, "If he dies I am killing Koenma."
"Hiei, he's not dying, he just has a migraine and is lying on the couch," Yusuke said exasperated by the fire demon's penchant for jumping to conclusions when it came to the well being of his mate. "Come on I'll take you to him. He asked me to go get you when I talked to him a second ago."
Yusuke released his hold on his girl, and turned to lead Hiei back to where the fox was resting.
After they managed to skirt around the enormous tree, they found Kurama still curled up on the couch, though he know held his head between his hands as if the pressure from the contact would help elevate the pain.
"Fox, you okay?" Hiei asked his voice echoed his concern as he knelt down next to the couch and placed a hand on top of Kurama's head.
The red head opened his eyes to look up at his mate, and a whimper escaped him due to the light shining from the windows behind Hiei causing the pain in his cranium to rise unexpectedly.
"Kurama what can I do to help, do you want to go back to your apartment?"
"Yes," Kurama answered quietly trying to get his pain back under control.
Hiei started to massage the fox's head, trying to find any way he could help his mate.
Wordlessly, as sound seemed to cause his mate distress, Hiei picked up Kurama in his arms and the fox tucked his head under Hiei's chin.
"Detective," Hiei breathed out, knowing that Yusuke's demon ears would be able to hear him. "Tell the others I'm taking Kurama back to his apartment. If he feels better in the morning we'll come back."
"I will and let us know if you two need anything," Yusuke replied just as softly.
Hiei nodded before he flitted out of the temple, and to Kurama's apartment, entering through the bedroom window.
"Do you want to shower or just change into your sleeping clothes," Hiei asked softly, trying not to cause his fox more pain, but knowing that Kurama hated to sleep in his "day" clothes.
"Pajamas please," Kurama answered quietly with pain drenching in his voice, so that Hiei could not help the worry he knew must be showing in his eyes.
Hiei nodded, not wishing to speak more than necessary, before quickly changing his fox into a pair of light blue flannels that he favored and then tucked him into his bed.
As Hiei was about to turn away, Kurama's hand reached out and grabbed the edge of him cloak.
"Would you stay with me, Koi," Kurama's voice was little more than a whisper.
"Always," Hiei said softly as he felt his heart clench at the sight of his usually strong mate reduced to this weakened state by something he could not protect him from.
Kurama granted him a small smile before he shut his eyes against the minute streaks of light making their way around his curtains.
Hiei quickly kicked off his boots and stripped out of his clothing, before changing into the set of pajamas that Kurama insisted that he wear when sleeping in the bed, and climbed into the bed with his mate.
Hiei settled against Kurama's back, allowing his natural warmth to thaw his mate's cool skin.
"Is there anything I can do?" Hiei whispered, his face pressed gently against his mate's back.
"You are doing it already," Kurama whispered back, their voices barely loud enough to disturb the air. "I just need to be kept warm, and in the dark until the migraine goes away."
Hiei nodded in understanding, allowing Kurama to feel his answer rather than hear it.
"Love you, Hiei," Kurama sighed out as he began to fall asleep against the warmth of his mate.
"I love you too, my Fox," Hiei whispered to his now sleeping mate.
Hiei soon joined him, hoping that his fox would feel more like himself when they awoke.
Hiei and Kurama arrived at the temple shortly after dawn, Kurama's migraine having been due to the bickering of their friends over decorations the previous day. It had been quickly remedied by a little sleep, and a lot of concerned hovering from his mate.
As they walked into the temple, they were paused in the doorway by the cheers of their friends.
"Now you gotta kiss him!" Kuwabara cheered happily as his brilliant plan had finally managed to catch someone.
It hadn't been easy gathering all of the mistletoe necessary for covering every entryway. He was glad it was finally paying off, even if he was slightly sleep deprived from staying up all night trying to trap Yusuke and Keiko under one of his traps.
Kurama and Hiei looked up at the mistletoe hanging above them.
Kurama smirked down at his mate.
"Well," he began as he leaned to look Hiei in the eye, "It is tradition to kiss your lover when you stand beneath mistletoe."
Hiei quirked an eyebrow at Kurama's sudden proximity, but answered Kurama's smirk with one of his own.
"I suppose I could humor this human tradition, if it means I get to kiss my fox."
With that Hiei closed the remaining distance between them, sealing them together with a kiss.
Hiei placed a hand at the nape of Kurama's neck and tilted his head so that he could better reach the most remote crevices of his mate's mouth.
"Am I going to have to get the water hose you two?" Yusuke joked as he slung an arm around Keiko's shoulders. "If you heat up any further, you might set the tree on fire."
The two broke apart for air and graced their audience with twin smirks of satisfaction.
"But we are under the mistletoe, Detective," Hiei shot back, his tone smug with satisfaction as he looped an arm around Kurama's waist.
"Hiei's right, Yusuke," Kurama added even as he draped a casual arm over his mate's shoulders, "It is a very human tradition. We are celebrating a human holiday after all."
A laughing Botan had whipped out a camera and had been recording the whole incident with a blush.
Keiko was peeking through her fingers, giggling at the sight of two usually deadly demons showing affection so openly.
Yusuke and Koenma watched with matching smirks, both wondering why the two demons even bothered to come if they were going to make out all day.
Kuwabara hid his blushing face, while trying to cover Yukina's eyes with his free hand while she giggled at the sight of the two lovebirds.
He couldn't help but wonder when his plan suddenly turned into such an awkward situation.
The others laughed as Hiei and Kurama leaned in for another kiss, this time just a peck, before the couple turned to join their companions in unwrapping the multitude of presents resting under the tree.
Despite any migraines, or mistletoe-induced awkwardness, it was turning out to be a splendid holiday after all.
I hope you enjoyed this and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. Please review to let me know you read it and to let me know what you think, later.
