It was December 24, actually during the twilight, Ueki was on his personal garden, cleaning and talking to his plants.
"Ueki! What are you doing!? Hello? I'm here! you don t need to talk to your plants!" Mori exclaimed while holding the man's wrist.
Mori Ai was actually there because earlier, while she's on her way to the shopping mall for the CHRiSTMAS DiSCOUNTS, she saw Ueki cleaning its garden. The lady was so stupid because she forgot about the discounts and then helped Ueki.
"Ueki!" Mori shouted.
"Yes? I'm busy." Ueki replied in a low voice.
"Why do you keep on talking to the plants?"
"Ai... Can't you see? They need something to talk to. Or else, they'll be lonely this coming Christmas."
"As if?"
Ueki suddenly laughed and faced Mori. "Ai, this plant says that you're very talkative."
"Ueki! By the way, why are you cleaning your garden? At this point of time."
"It's because I forgot to clean my garden this morning."
"Why?"
"Uh. Secret?" Ueki replied.
Mori was holding one of Ueki's plants and thought: "It seemed like. Oh! It's Ueki's first time to keep a secret! Oh boy. This isn't happening!" The lady then accidentally pulled the plant. Ueki's mouth opened wide as his eyes caused b the unexpected happening. In short, Ueki was shocked.
"How could you!?"
"Uh..." Mori can't answer instead she just laughed. Ueki then tried to get the plant out of Mori's hands. Unexpectedly, he gripped Mori's smooth cold hand. The snow started to fall and Ueki was the one who noticed it between them because Mori was looking directly at Ueki's face. Showing some reaction about what Ueki just did.
"It's so cold. Christmas is really coming." Ueki said while gripping Mori's hand more tight.
"Speaking of Christmas! The Christmas discounts! No!"
Mori's eyes were closed because Ueki's left hand covered it. The lady was tickled and then she smiled.
"Ueki! What is that!?" Mori shouted giggly.
Ueki put off his hand and Mori was quite amazed by a green scarf rounding her neck.
"Ueki? How could you?" Mori asked surprisingly.
"Just this morning, I saw that on the shopping mall. 50% Christmas discount. I thought it would be nice if you're going to wear it. Did you like it? Merry Christmas."
"You're so sweet." Mori said giggly and then she hugged Ueki. Accidentally, the two fell down on the ground. Mori was on top of Ueki.
"I love you." Ueki said in a very low voice.
"What? What did you say?" Mori asked.
"Nothing."
"UNFAiRRRRRR!!"
