The winter wind whipped wildly against Ritsuka's body. The scarf was not helping and as a last attempt to get warm, he pulled his coat tighter. Why did Soubi have to call him at exactly midnight? They both could have been just as content spending Christmas Eve or Christmas together. They did not have to be together right at the start of a new day.

"Finally," Ritsuka muttered as he fumbled around with the flowerpots until he found the right one that had the key hidden under it. Years later and he could feel the ghost of his ears twitch on top of his head. He did not know if it was the cold, aggravation, anticipation, or a combination that made them twitch. What he did know is that he just wished that the feeling would go away because it still made him feel like a little kid.

Before Ritsuka entered the home he knocked the snow off his shoes. Once inside he kicked the shoes off into a nearby pile, and slipped on a pair of slippers. The fact of them being his slippers made a blush creep on his cheeks; he did not know if he would ever get us to this.

"Merry Christmas," Soubi said excitedly with a grin as he pushed a package into Ritsuka hands. There was no indication that the other had even been to sleep yet, or that he wanted to. The grin never left his face as he caressed the others cheeks.

Though Ritsuka's face showed differently, he was excited to get a package from Soubi. "But, I…" He muttered looking down at the package. Having been told nothing but to show up he had not come prepared to exchange gifts.

Soubi made a shushing noise as he wrapped his arms around Ritsuka. His soft lips caressed the others but purposely did not allow the kiss to lead elsewhere. He pulled away and led his lover over to the bed.

"Soubi," Ritsuka whined as he was pushed onto the bed until he was forced to sit down. He knew tomorrow was bound to be a busy day with the few friends he had acquired over the years. Thus, he knew sleep was more important than lovemaking.

Soubi looked into Ritsuka's eyes as he ran his fingers through the others hair. He could not help his need, when he was around Ritsuka something stirred in him. However deep his desire was he had other motives for leading his lover over to the bed.

"Besides-," Ritsuka said as he looked down at the sheets, "-your thread count sucks." He could feel his ghost ears flicker and fold back as he ran his hand over the rough sheets. "Even if I didn't want to sleep you know I absolutely hate to make love in your bed."

Soubi could not help but to laugh aloud as he sat next to Ritsuka. He pushed the package that Ritsuka was holding against his chest. This was not the first time Ritsuka had said something; however, it would be the last.

As Soubi laughed Ritsuka felt a shiver run down his spine. Not really understanding what was so funny he looked down at the package. It was Christmas and had technically been for the past ten minutes. A small smile formed on his face as he tugged on the ribbon.

As Ritsuka took his time, unwrapping the present, the anticipation became thicker than a morning's snowstorm. He could feel his ghost ears twitch in anticipation. Finally opening the box to his delight was a package of high quality 1000 fiber count Egyptian cotton sheets.

"Soubi…" Ritsuka said in a voice that was both excited and embarrassed. The last thing he needed his mother to ask was why someone was getting him sheets for Christmas. For a Mother who did not care there had already been a big enough fuss when her precious boy had lost his ears. – Yes, regrettably, he was still living at home.

Knowing automatically to ignore his lover who was still a ball of mixed up emotions he took the others voice as a positive sign. "You're here more than you are there-," Soubi whispered against the other's lips, "-thought it was time you call this home."

"Pervert!" Ritsuka exclaimed despite Soubi being so close. "I should have known you had motive behind your gift." He felt hot from toe tips to ghost ear tips. Not only was he embarrassed but he was angry.

"Ritsuka how old are you?" Soubi asked in a voice that was so calm it was near bone chilling. He was looking at what to him was a young man. He would omit the fact that his lover still had moments where he acted childish.

"Old enough," Ritsuka said shortly. Soubi knew how old he was and thus he felt he did not deserve a proper answer. He pulled his head back and looked down at the opened gift. The sheets were his favorite color and looked incredibly soft.

The wicked smirk that formed on Sobi's face told Ritsuka that he had given the other the answer he had been hoping to get. "Last I checked you were old enough to have needs," he said as he straddled Ritsuka and pushed him to lay back. Looking down at the other caused his glasses slipped down his nose and blond hair to fall forward.

Ritsuka knew that his face had to be brighter than a cherry tomato as his cock began to throb. He swallowed a knot that felt the size of a boulder, as he looked Soubi in the eyes. Who could think with their brains when their cocks had already taken charge?

Soubi sat the gift aside as he continued to study Ritsuka; he really could be childish at times. "Regardless if you are Loveless I know companionship is primary on your list," he said as he again brushed their lips together. Though he enjoy the softness in their lovemaking he hoped someday his lover would climb out of his shell and let carnal desire take over.

Ritsuka was breathing heavy over nothing at all but being nervous. Although, he really did not know what he had to be nervous about… This was not the first time they had been on this level of intimacy, and certainly would not be the last. He did not know why he could not easily say yes to sharing a home with Soubi- It was just difficult because he already had his opinion on what home was like, and he did not want his escape to become that. He wanted to scoot from under Soubi and just have time to sort things out; however, other parts of him were saying worry about consequences later.

One could only take so much before it became annoying. As much Soubi craved Ritsuka and wanted to share his home he was not about to force his lover into anything he did not want to do. Though he did not roll off Ritsuka, he did hesitate.

"Soubi," Ritsuka whispered as he caressed the others hair that dangled over his shoulder. He knew he had not really said anything that was harsh, but his actions had been terrible. His lover had just offered him the best Christmas gift and he could not even say yes or how much it meant to him. That sinking feeling settled into his stomach.

Soubi sighed softly as he once again smiled. "How about I fix us some hot chocolate?" He said as he looked into Ritsuka's eyes before brushing their lips together. He hoped that if gave his lover a few minutes to think alone that it would ease his mind and that they could get along with their Christmas day.

"Yummy," Ritsuka said with a grin, which was a lot like a small child's, at the thought of a good cup of hot chocolate. He was sure Soubi had his own reasons for leaving him alone.

Ritsuka sat up and looked around once Soubi had left the room. His gaze settled once more onto the sheets… He really, really did want to feel those sheets and to use them. If he hung around here all night he would not get the chance to unless-

Without thought of consequence that Soubi would take this as a yes he remade Soubi's bed. The only thing that disappointed him is that they did not have his lover's scent, but he knew that soon enough they would.

"Is that an indication you want to make this house your home?" Soubi asked inquisitively as he sat the hot chocolate on the bedside nightstand. He was trying his best not to grin; however, it was hard not to.

Ritsuka gripped the sheets as he felt a blush serge through his body. He really had not intended for this to be a yes… He just really want to feel the sheets; especially if they were going to make love. Seeing his lover's face made him feel guilty that he had gotten his hopes up. He swallowed hard as he looked the other in the eyes. "How about we give it a try with no strings attached?" It to him seemed like a happy medium.

Ritsuka had offered to take a step in the direction he was hoping for. The only down fall was that if at some point his lover was not happy he could just up and leave since this was a no strings attached… "Okay," he finally said after only a couple seconds because he did not feel it was best to hesitate.

"I just want to feel assured that if I call this home that it won't become a prison… I feel as if I am already in a prison," Ritsuka felt he had to give a reason as he wrapped his arms around Soubi's neck.

Feeling that further words would have been pointless Soubi nodded in understanding. The hot chocolate was forgotten as he kissed Ritsuka full on the lips.

Ritsuka mewed as he deepened the kiss. His hands eagerly caressing every inch of Soubi's clothed back. He was slowly bunching the shirt up so he could easily rid them of it.

Their sudden shared need became very intense having already put their needs on the back burner once. The loud rustle of material was music to their ears as they unceremoniously began to toss clothes aside.

Soubi had kissed half way down Ritsuka's belly when he had been stopped. More than a little frustrated he looked up and was met with a wicked grin.

"Fuck me," Ritsuka said with a full-face pout. His voice was sultry and full of need. With his cock aching he was not in the mood for foreplay or formality.

Soubi growled possessively as he reached for some lubricant. If his lover wanted it rough then he was more willing to give it. He was actually excited Ritsuka wanted to up there sex life a notch.

In anticipation, Ritsuka mewed against Soubi's lips. He was eager to rile the other into a sense of carnal desire. He would never grow tired of Soubi.

Soubi having slicked them both up with a generous amount of lubricant rubbed the head of his erection at Ritsuka's entrance. He slowly pushed his thick, throbbing cocking past the tight ring of muscle.

Ritsuka's grip on Soubi tightened as he cried out. That cock felt incredible. He was more than thankful that no one could hear them because he knew he was a very boisterous person.

"Like that Kitten," Soubi said breathlessly into his lover's ear. "I do-," he moaned as he slid more of himself into that tight heat.

"God! Yes!" Ritsuka moaned as a shiver ran down his spine. Feeling every inch of Soubi in him made him feel so full; it was an incredible feeling.

Soubi did not bother with a formal I will get you ready before I take you completely and mercilessly rhythm. He was elated at the sensations that flooded him and that his lover was keeping up with it.

Ritsuka could not catch his breath. It felt amazing to have reached this new level of intimacy with Soubi. He defiantly could and was looking forward to getting use to this. "More!" He demanded.

"Fuck! Your tight today Ritsuka," Soubi moaned as he complied with his lover's demands and gave him more. Wrapping his arms around Ritsuka, he gave it everything he had.

"Ahhh," Ritsuka cried out as his back arched. Getting what he wanted felt so damn good. If people knew how good it felt, they would not question what the attraction was when it came to sex, lovemaking, and the countless other forms of it.

Soubi reached between them and pumped his lover's cock as wildly as he made love to him. As good as it felt he did not want it to end… As their cries of pleasure became louder, he crushed their lips together.

Ritsuka's body could not take anymore. Every muscle pulsed in what seemed a rhythm with his violent orgasm. His body was tingly all over as ecstasy surged through his body. Sticky white ribbons coated their stomachs.

Soubi buried his cock to the hilt inside Ritsuka's tight heat when he felt his lover shiver and shake. The clenching muscles around his tight cock felt incredible. As he came he screamed and fisted the sheets.

They collapsed into a heap of tangled limps, sweat, and cum. Bodies fuzzy with a bliss fluff high. They were complete, and fulfilled. Panting heavily they nuzzled and snuggled one another until they fell asleep.

Ritsuka was very happy with the new sheets, and even happier to have broken them in.
