Ding-ding-dong-ding-dong. The seldom-heard bell of the Kudo Mansion wrung. It was a bright Christmas Eve, and Kaito Kuroba, a.k.a. Kaito Kid 1412, was ringing on his boyfriend's door. The weather outside was cold and as such Kaito was dressed warmly. The door opened and Shinichi's figure appeared in the doorway. Kaito immediately glomped him, happy to be out of the snow and in Shinichi's arms.
"Hi, Shin-chan!" Kaito said cheerfully, "Are you ready for Christmas?"
"I'd be more ready if you got off of me." He replied sardonically.
Kaito pouted a bit, pressed a kiss against a now blushing Shinichi's forehead, then got off. He grabbed Shinichi's hand and dragged him into the kitchen where there was food and people waiting.
"Hi, Kaito!" Kazuha and Aoko chorused.
"Hello everyone. Sit down so we can eat." Hakuba said with Heiji agreeing for once.
After a long dinner of goose, yorkshire pudding, cranberries, dressing, and many more, most everyone was stuffed. They all scattered to the living room where a very decorated Christmas tree was located. It was about as tall as the ceiling and was half as large around. Under it was an abundance of gifts ranging from toothpaste box size to as big as a large dog.
Shinichi picked up the first present to him, from Kazuha. Inside the intricate wrapping was a small omamori.
"Thanks, Aoko." Shinichi thanked sincerely. "I love it."
"Maybe she figured it could be a kadavar-repellent." Kaito snickered.
Shinichi fixed Kaito with one of his best death glares that promised revenge and continued to open gifts. From Ran he got a new football, a copy of The Lost World from Hakuba, an autobiography of Ellery Queen from Heiji ("Come to the dark side, Kudo. We have cookies…. And murder."), a few temporary Conan-pills1 from Hakase and Ai, and a bag full to the brim with stuffed trout. Kaito was still clutching at the far wall.
"For those times that he's being a complete idiot." She'd offered by way of explanation.
The one gift he didn't get was his lovers. And Shinichi wouldn't admit it hurt him.
After everyone else had opened their gifts and 'Thank you.'s' and 'Merry Christmas.'s' were spread around like the flu. The night was just about coming to an end when everyone smiled knowingly at Shinichi and Kaito.
"Come on, Shin-chan! My gift for you is outside!" Kaito yelled excitedly. Shinichi sighed at his recently dubbed nickname, but preceded outside anyway. Kaito practically threw Shinichi's coat on him and jumped outside.
"What is so important that w-!!" His question was abruptly cut off by the sound of gun-shots. He looked wildly around, until realizing with much embarrassment that it was only fireworks in the sky. Wait… fireworks…? Shinichi looked up just in time for it to register in his mind that KAITO LOVES SHINICHI!! S2 was plastered across the nights sky. His mouth fell open in a startled fashion as 9 reindeer, a fat man in a suit, and a sleigh with gifts on it flashed across the night. He barely had time to groan before the last image popped into his brain and he feinted.
Merry me, Shinichi.
