And I don't mean the kind you wear.

A few things to note here:
1) I don't remember where Gouenji lives

2) The house keeper is now a maid

3) She calls them master

Anyway, this story in set at Christmas time and is Gouenji x Kazemaru {I Love this couple}.

Kazemaru looked at his phone, which he had managed to grab on his way out. He stared at the little message symbol. No message. He leaned against a small wall and frowned. If no one would text him, he would text them. After pondering for a few minutes, he decided to message the person he thought would actually reply, seeing it was around eleven at night.

Gouenji Shuuya.

The tealnette started to punch out the words on a new message.

'Hey Gouenji'

Kazemaru pressed send. He sighed. He didn't even know what to say to him. The phone beeped. 'That was quick' he thought as he opened the new message.

'Yo Kazemaru, what's up?'

"The sky" Kazemaru said out loud with a giggle. "Hm. I've nothing to say"... He paused. Well I'm alone, in the dark... "Ah!" The tealnette jumped. "I-I'm alone in the dark... There's no telling what's going to happen!"

Kazemaru's fingers trembled while he spelled out the words.

'Can I ask a favour of you?'

Send.

New message: 'Anything, what do you need?'

'Could you... Come keep me company?' Kazemaru was shaking. Send.

New message: 'Sure. Where are you?'

'The sea front.'

Send.

New message: 'Ok, I'll be there in ten.'

"Please hurry..." A tear left his eye. Despite his confidence, he got quite paranoid when he was outside in the dark. Can you blame him though?

Gouenji threw down his phone and rushed to his front door. He pulled on his over-sized woolly coat and left in a rush.
When he arrived at the end of the pathway, he heard a loud crash and a flash of lightening caught his attention. The skies opened and it poured down. "Crap" he muttered and turned back to his house.

Gouenji burst through the front door, grabbed an umbrella and sprinted right back out again.

The flame striker ran all the way to the sea front and looked around frantically. He couldn't see his blue haired friend, so the boy jogged along the front until he spotted a petite figure staring out across the waves.

Kazemaru. It had to be. No one he knew looked that beautiful in the shimmering moonlight.

Gouenji approached slowly. Kazemaru noticed the boy and tilted his head to meet platinum haired boy's eyes, forcing a tear to roll down his cheek.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah! Uh, nothing..." The mahogany eyed boy quickly wiped away his tear and smiled.

"You're soaked..." Gouenji held out his hand and touched his friend's drenched cheek. "You haven't even a coat". Gouenji dropped his hand to his side. He scanned Kazemaru's attire. He was wearing a light cyan loose tank top and shorts. "Is that your nightwear?" Kazemaru nodded.

"I was told to 'get out', after my little sister broke a rather expensive vase. I have to take the blame for everything she does, so my parents kicked me out. After about ten minutes I got bored and walked here".

Gouenji listened intently.

"So now I'm here".

Gouenji frowned, unbuttoned his coat and invited his friend into the warm. The defender stared for a minute, then accepted. He shuffled under his friend's embrace. The brown eyed boy lowered his arm onto the tealnette's shoulder. Upon doing so, Gouenji shivered. But even so, the pair walked on. Past the cities bright Christmas fairy lights and down the ally ways, both were guarded by the umbrella. Kazemaru began to feel nervous. "Where are we?" He questioned.

"Don't be afraid" the striker smiled. "We are going somewhere warm and kind".

When they arrived, they were staring up at a big apartment building. "We're here."

"Where is 'here'?"

Gouenji took Kazemaru by the shoulder and led him up the path. "My house."

The tealnette stopped abruptly. "YOUR HOUSE?!"

"Something wrong with that?"

"N-No..." Kazemaru was on the verge of blushing. He had always dreamed this would happen, and now it was coming true. Gouenji noticed Kazemaru's tension, but said nothing. By now they were at the entrance to the apartment. The mahogany eyed boy was led to the door of the brown eyed boy's flat, with goose bumps in result of the cold.

"I'm home!" Called the striker. The house maid got to her feet and went to greet him. But to her surprise, there were two people at the entrance.

The maid bowed. "Good evening, Master Shuuya, and who might you be young man?"

"U-Um K-Kaze..."

"Ichirouta." Gouenji butted in.

"And to you, Master Ichirouta."

Kazemaru quivered at the sound of Gouenji calling his first name.

"Cold?" The old house maid asked, picking up on his insecurity.

Kazemaru nodded slowly and again, shivered.

"Please come with me, Master Ichirouta." The maid signalled into a room and went in.

The defender followed, who was almost paralysed with cold, and the striker wasn't far behind. They shuffled into the bathroom and the maid started running the bath.

"There's nothing that'll warm you up quicker than a steaming hot bath will!" She smiled. And when you are finished I'll make you some cocoa!"

"Thank you so much..!" Kazemaru smiled a wholehearted smile.

"No problem, Master," the maid bowed.

The tealnette turned to Gouenji and smiled.

He shivered again.

"When the bath is full, please turn it off, Master." The maid turned to walk out. "Take as long as you like." She bowed once again and left.

The mahogany eyed boy began to take of his top before he realised that Gouenji was still in the room. "GAH!" Kazemaru jumped. "W-why are you still here?"

"Oh... Well I can turn around if you'd like..." Gouenji turned to face an empty wall.

"Ehh..." Kazemaru made a funny face. "Ok fine." He tugged off his top and slid off his shorts. He shivered again and goose bumps formed all over his body. The boy felt a warm hand on his shoulder, he tensed up and turned seeing Gouenji.

"Look... I normally like to bathe in private..." The tealnette knew he was attracted to the striker, but he couldn't let him know that. It would mess up everything. Their friendship. The team. It would be so awkward.

"Don't worry, I have to look after my friends."

Kazemaru's heart plummeted. 'Friend.' He felt so let down. He wanted to be something more, without severing a bond that can only be shared between friends. Is that even possible? He thought to himself for a minute. He didn't realise...

The bath was overflowing.

The mahogany eyed boy woke from his daydream to find the water spilling over the edges. "Crap!" He bent to turn off the tap. Kazemaru turned to face the brown eyed boy and crossed his arms. He stepped forward, upon doing so, he slipped. He cried out and grabbed the nearest thing. The fully clothed Gouenji. The striker tried to keep his balance, but fell into the bath right on top of Kazemaru. The tealnette was underwater for about ten seconds. He liked it. The water was so tranquil and peaceful.

He was soon pulled out of his little world by the strong arms of Gouenji. The defender soon realised that the platinum haired boy was almost screaming his name.

"Kazemaru... Kazemaru..! Are you alright? KAZEMARU!" Gouenji was shaking him slightly.

The tealnette's eyes were closed. He was more asleep than unconscious.

"Ichirouta!"

Kazemaru's eyes shot open. He coughed and spluttered and took a few deep breaths.

Gouenji took Kazemaru into a bone crushing hug. He whispered in his ear. "Don't scare me like that..." Tears formed in both boys eyes. Both of them were smiling. One smile because of the amazing bond they shared, another because they were both alright.

Kazemaru finally had found the courage that he never had. His voice was but a whisper. "Never leave my side, Gouenji. I-I..." The tealnette sighed. He may as well tell him. What's the worst that could happen? "I love you... Always have, always will."

Gouenji chuckled a little. Even though he thought he had blown it, he kept calm. This was a challenge for him, but he did it. "And I love you."

The mahogany eyed boy's eyes opened wide. He hugged the boy back with tears streaming down his face. He was laughing and his cheeks were bright pink.

The pair stayed there for a few more minutes. Their bond was even stronger than ever before. It wasn't ruined, it was strengthened. Both loved each other equally, with all of their heart.

One year later...

"Here." Kazemaru passed a small present to his boyfriend. Gouenji smiled and returned a similar looking gift back.

Both were sitting under a brightly lit Christmas tree in Gouenji's house. The pair always spent Christmas together, since it was around that time that they became boyfriends.

The tealnette kissed the striker on his cheek and got up. Kazemaru held out his hand smiling. Gouenji took it and got up as well. Kazemaru pulled Gouenji to the window and peered out. "It's snowing!" (I think it rarely snows in Tokyo, but this is a special occasion!)

"Perfect!" The striker swept the defender into his arms and they both shared and incense scented kiss.

Kazemaru didn't just get something more. He got everything he ever wanted.

Behold, the end of my story. God this took ages to write -_-
