"Uruhaaa~", Aoi whined, standing next to the fireplace.
"What is it?", the blond-haired guitarist yelled from the kitchen, cookie dough all over his hands.
"Where are the matches? I want to start the fire", replied Aoi, who was now starting to walk over to their Christmas tree. Their Christmas tree was adorned with the typical - ornaments, lights, and a star gracing the top. Aoi stared at one lone ornament and smiled. It was the one they made earlier that year that has a picture of Aoi and Uruha acting like they were half their age in Ueno Park when the cherry blossoms were blooming.
"Here, sweetheart. Remember, I always put them in the cabinet above the sugar." Uruha handed the matches to Aoi and quietly laughed when he realized what his boyfriend was looking at. "I remember that day", mused Uruha as looked back and forth at Aoi and the heard shaped ornament. "It was sunny and warm. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. They were beautiful, but you stole my attention", Uruha admitted, trying not to blush.
Uruha was not successful at hiding his blush. Aoi noticed and quickly chimed in with a smile, "Ruki and Reita were acting like 4-year-olds and Kai was with Miyavi. Kai actually got Miyavi to calm down. For once." The beautiful memory made Uruha and Aoi laugh in unison.
"I'm gonna go finish the cookies. They won't bake if i just let them sit there", Uruha said as he almost skipped with happiness back to the kitchen. Aoi took the matches and lit the fire, the flames licking at the wooden logs.
A couple hours later found Uruha and Aoi laying together on the couch, looking out the window. The snow outside was falling gently, only visible because of the bright lights of downtown Tokyo. Each held a cup of Uruha's special hot chocolate as they snuggled up together under a blanket.
"It's almost midnight...almost Christmas Eve", whispered Uruha as he turned his body so he could bury himself further into Aoi's warm figure
"It is. You know, I think I've finally figured out exactly what I want for Christmas," Aoi said as he played with a loose strand of Uruha's soft locks.
Uruha turned to Aoi with a confused look on his face.
"What do you mean? You've just now figured it out? Two days, no, one day before Christmas?" He looked at Aoi with a flustered expression on his face.
Aoi took the opportunity and kissed Uruha, Aoi's tongue asking for entrance into his boyfriend's mouth. Uruha complied, and they kissed until the need for air became too great. After they caught their breath, Aoi answered Uruha's question.
"All I want for Christmas is you", Aoi said as he watched what he had said register in Uruha's mind.
Uruha teared up but smiled a beautiful smile. A smile that made it impossible for Aoi not to smile back. Aoi brushed the few tears that escaped from Uruha's eyes away, and Uruha chuckled almost soundlessly.
"Aoi, you know Christmas is still two days away", Uruha said as he readjusted his position in Aoi's arms.
"No, it's not. It's 12:03 AM on Christmas Eve, and you know a lot of people open a present one day early, " Aoi responded, with a joke-like attitude.
"Okay, fine. You can have a present one day early. But if it's the one I'm thinking of, you get that whenever you want to, so it's not much of a present," Uruha joked back. Uruha stood up and put the blanket aside and put out the fire. Aoi decided to be a trickster and come up beside his boyfriend and picked him up bridal style, getting a small squeak from the other guitarist. Uruha giggled and Aoi carried him into their bedroom, the two guitarists enjoying the early Christmas present.
