Underneath the Mistletoe
A/N: Here's a special Christmas fic with a lot of K-pop stars. It's dedicated to my best friend, Ysabel, and I hope you'll like this part of your Christmas present!
There'll be several chapters here, including TVXQ, Big Bang, Super Junior, and SHINee. I don't think I will be able to finish before the actual Christmas Day, and I may continue on even after the holiday is over. :\ but I'm not so sure as to when all of the chapters for each pairing will be published. I am going on vacation for a month, but I will try to publish as much as I can. So I hope you like all of these pairings and for Christmas, let's say I'd like some reviews. Thank you! (: Enjoy.

- Yunho and Jaejoong -
"Seriously guys, it's already the twenty-second," Junsu whined to his hyungs.
It was the twenty-second of December already, and their HQ were as plain as every other day of the year. There was not one trace of the Christmas season in any of the rooms. Just blank, white walls. Junsu was dying for some of the holiday spirit, crying to his hyungs for a tree, at the least. Changmin agreed with him but did nothing of the sort to help him out, and the other three members were simply lazy.
Junsu dragged his duckbutt over to Yoochun, giving him his best pouty face, praying that it would work. "Yoochunnie! Will you go shopping for the stuff with me?"
Yoochun groaned, and closed the book he was reading. Tipping his glasses down the bridge of his nose, he gave Junsu a long, questioning look.
"Please, hyung?" Junsu tried to be as cute as he could, and it appearently worked. Yoochun got up from his seat in the recliner, and slapped Junsu's back, then leading him towards the front door.
"You're lucky that you can be so cute," Yoochun mumbled, smiling. Junsu was jumping before they were out the door, and continued so until they were out of earshot.
Jaejoong was busy with his nose in a cookbook, preparing for the Christmas dinner he was going to cook up. He wanted to know how to decorate his delicate, future masterpieces perfectly. Luckily Junsu had taken off one thing that was on his mind, the decorations, and left him with only a few more. Jaejoong needed to bother himself further with the Christmas shopping he neglected.
Yunho was out doing his late Christmas shopping. Changmin found himself getting off his lazy butt, away from his laptop, and went into his recording room to wrap the gifts he'd bought in advance.
'What should I get Jaejoong?' Yunho thought carefully, who was wandering around the mall. There were a fair number of people at the mall, but nonetheless Yunho hid himself within a disguise. It was always the stupidest thing to wear blackened glasses indoors. In one hand were the presents for Junsu, Yoochun, and Changmin, all bought at the same place. All that he was missing now was a present for Jaejoong...
It wasn't that hard to pick out what the other members wanted, and it shouldn't be so hard to get something fro Jaejoong. Yunho was sure that the other members would have also first thought of getting Jaejoong something related to cooking; books or maybe untensils.
'I need to get him something more then that,' Yunho gazed over the many things he could get Jaejoong, 'Something special...'
And Jaejoong, to Yunho, was someone very special. They haven't been together for so long, not as much as Junsu and Yoochun, whose relationship had been going for at least nine months already. Yunho and Jaejoong haven't been an item for as long, only a little more then two months. There was a part of their relationship that hadn't occured yet, and Yunho was thinking that Christmas would be a perfect time for it.
And he thought Jaejoong deserved the best, and he would get him something equivilent of that.
'But what?' Yunho sat down at a table, sipping away at a coke in his hand. He'd considered an iPod Touch, but Jaejoong refused for anyone to spend so much on him. There was the choice of getting him some clothing, but most of the time they'd be wearing what they were instructed to. Yunho was close to finding something before remembering Changmin had gotten it for Yoochun.
Yunho strolled aimlessly down an aisle in a store he walked randomly into. 'Something simple, perhaps?' He creased his brows, his bottom lip sticking out in a flustered pout.
Then he finally spotted the perfect gift, and Yunho grinned widely. He bought it and some wrapping paper, and left for home.
Jaejoong was found in the kitchen the next morning, drumming his fingers on the table rhythmicaly. He was the one now who worried over his Christmas shopping, planning it all out first. 'A Nano Chromatic for Changmin, the next two volumes for the series Yoochun's reading, a new game for his DS, and a rubber duck for Junsu.'
Now he was stuck on Yunho.
"Jaejoong hyung!" Jaejoong turned around to see Junsu up on a ladder, waving franticaly. "Will you help me put the st--"
He was cut short when Yoochun snatched the star out of Junsu's hand. Junsu squealed, taken by surprise, and began swiping for the plastic object back. The ladder underneath Junsu's feet wobbled, then gave way. But before his duckbutt could hit the ground, there were arms there to catch him. And then they were there for a minute or two, gazing deeply into eachothers' eyes, before they remembered they had an audience.
Jaejoong cleared his throat, "Uhm, Junsu? Yoochun?"
Set back on his feet Junsu was redder then a tomato, his cheeks lit brighter then any Christmas ornament. Yoochun grunted, not too happy that he couldn't finish what he'd already started, and stood tall to place the star on the top of the tree. Junsu beamed, and plugged in the power cord, then the tree flashed its colors brightly. They were standing side by side, awing the tree in silence. Then Yoochun, not hesitant, wrapped a strong arm around Junsu's waist, and pulled him into his chest. Junsu did not refuse, but just stood contently in the arms of his love.
This was his que to leave, so Jaejoong walked out to give them their needed privacy. He wished he could have such privacy with...
Jaejoong found himself doing the same thing Yunho was doing the night before. He was looking around a jewelry store, browsing to see if Yunho would like anything there. Being there for quite some time, a young lady at the counter spoke up to him.
"Can I help you with something?" her voice was quiet as she glanced at him shyly.
Jaejoong smiled back, answering, "I was wondering what I should get a friend."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Boy." Jaejoong walked up to the counter, taking his hands out of his jeans, and stuffing them in his jacket pockets. She fumbled with a few keys in her hand, and opened up a glass screen from behind her, taking out two boxes. She placed them in front of Jaejoong, and opened them.
Inside each was a silver chained necklace with a gold ring at the end. "Their friendship rings or necklaces, I suppose..." The girl took her hands away for Jaejoong to have a better look. They were friendship rings, but both of the gold bands had the word 'Love' deeply engraved on them instead.
With a very small smile on his face, Jaejoong bought them both and gave the clerk a 'thank you'. He had it planned out now, and had to all but wait for Christmas Eve.
When the night arrived, the SMTown all got together and had a party. The room was louder then some of their concerts, full of voices, music, and laughter. Jaejoong was relieved to get away from it all once TVXQ headed home early, back to their HQ. Yoochun was already tired and wanted so much just to go to bed and sleep, but Junsu dragged him away from their bedroom otherwise. Changmin went right to his laptop and Yunho sat in front of the TV.
Jaejoong hastly went to work on their Christmas dinner, intricately trying his best to decorate their meal accordingly. He prepared everyones' favorites, and a grin found its way to his face when all of the members said highly of his cooking.
"It's time to open presents now!" Junsu screamed at the exact time the clock striked twelve, the Eve becoming Day. They all gathered and sat down on the floor of the living room. Junsu literally threw his wrapped presents at everyone, but sat cutely in front of Yoochun, only wanting to see his reaction to the gifts. The others exchanged and handed each gift to their hyungs.
"Uwa!" Changmin gaped at the red Nano Chromatic that Jaejoong had given him. He also recieved a large stuffed bear from Junsu (who had given stuffed animals to all of his fellow hyungs), a pair of DJ style headphones from Yoochun, and a couple of CD's from Yunho.
When Yoochun opened Jaejoong's gift first, he almost stopped opening all the others' immediately. His eyes popped when he held volumes 2 and 3 in his hands, wanting so badly to read them. Junsu cried to him that he hadn't opened his present yet. A book full of printed sheet music was from Changmin, and a plug-in foot pedal was given by Yunho, something that need to be replaced a long time ago.
Junsu wanted his present to be last, and he hid his hands behind his back, out of Yoochun's sight. "Chunnie, you have to close your eyes, or I won't give it to you!" he squirmed from excitement. Yoochun did what he was told and held his hands out in front of him. It was unnessesary for Junsu simply stretched up and planted a soft one on Yoochun. But his hyung suspected so, and caught the now unaware Junsu by surprise when he pulled him even closer.
Yunho coughed loudly and the two lovers pulled themselves off of each other. Yoochun gave Junsu a serious look, indicating that they were not finished.
After the small, awkward moment, Junsu began opening his presents. He was beat red and embarrassed after the things he opened. Ducks, they were all ducks. Changmin got him one or two different colored shirts with the same yellow plastic duck on the front, and Yunho got him PJs with little ducklings on them. Yoochun had given him some lovely duck-printed boxers, and loudly expressed that he wanted to see Junsu in them during that very moment. Junsu threw the rubber duck Jaejoong had given him at Yoochun's head.
Now it comes down to Yunho and Jaejoong.
Jaejoong gave the rectangular present to Yunho. "Here," he said quietly, staring at the floor, hearing the ripping of paper.
Yunho was still gaping as he took the silver necklace out of the box, holding it up towards the light. Immediately he placed it around his neck and fingered the ring. He smiled graciously at Jaejoong. "Thank you, hyung. This means so much." He meant it. Yunho read a card that was attatched to the box.
It simply read: 'Dear Yunho, Have a very Merry Christmas. Lots of love, Jaejoong (:'
Yunho read it a couple of times over, grinning at a lone word. 'Love...' he thought serenely.
Jaejoong was aware of what Yunho was continually reading. From out of the collar of his shirt, Jaejoong revealed his necklace, mirroring that of Yunho's. "I have one too," Jaejoong mumbled, "They're friendship necklaces, but I thought they'd be okay since the word lo--"
Jaejoong was taken into Yunho's suddenly, and he was dragged over to and isolated part of the hallway before standing himself upright. He was a bit edgey. "Yunho, what was that for?" he could feel a bit of carpet burn left behind on his...
"Sorry hyung," Yunho was shifting from one foot to the other quickly. Suddenly from behind his back, Yunho held a green and white blur too close to Jaejoong's face. Jaejoong's eyes adjusted to the object held in front of his face, and his eyes widened.
"Mistletoe?" Jaejoong was flustered, acutely aware of how pink his cheeks were tainted.
Yunho smiled softly. "Yes." He held it above the both of them, and his lips found themselves on Jaejoong's. It was short and sweet like honey. Yunho pulled away just before Jaejoong would return the gesture. His bottom lip stuck out in a pout. Chuckling, Yunho gave Jaejoong a small peck.
"Merry Christmas hyung," Yunho greeted.
Jaejoong rolled his eyes, "You pulled away to say that?"
Yunho grinned. "Yup."
"I finally get a kiss from you, and you had to make it so short," Jaejoong murmured. Lips puckered, Jaejoong stretched them out childishly, impatient for another kiss. He stood on his toes, wrapping his arms around Yunho's neck. Replying instantly, their lips both met each others. Their lips moved against another in perfect motion, and bodies so close that there was no reason for being cold.
And the mistletoe fell to the ground, for Yunho's hands were busy elsewhere.
Merry Christmas! (:
