Mistletoe Memories

3 – Scarlet Santa

Jun had been getting more and more irritated throughout the day. Christmas Eve was tonight, and Hinaichigo had desired to see Santa Claus so desperately that Nori, Tomoe and Micchan had taken it upon themselves to go out to purchase a Santa Claus suit. Of course, naturally, Jun would be the 'chosen one', as they called him, who was to wear the damn thing.

He sat in the living room now, shifting awkwardly around as he tried to find a comfortable position to sit with an enormous pillow stuffed under his suit. On top of that, the hat that came with the suit had a ridiculously huge white, fluffy pompom which had a nasty habit of swinging around and socking him in the eye whenever he turned his head.

"Oh my," came a sardonic, silky voice from the doorway, "if isn't Father Christmas!" Jun swivelled around and managed to catch a glimpse of a Suigintou hovering in the hallway before the pompom came swinging around and ridded his left eye of vision.

"Suigintou? What are you doing here?"

"Hmph. Shinku invited me over." She ran her eyes up and down Jun's ridiculous outfit and smirked. "You look incredibly stupid in that."

"Really? I think he looks quite endearing," came Shinku's voice from the top of the stairs. Suigintou's sneering facade transformed immediately.

"Shinku! Of course, that was exactly what I was thinking," she smiled as the crimson doll descended the stairs to come and stand next to her.

"Oh dear, are you hot in that, Jun?" asked Shinku. Suigintou was smirking at him again, over the blonde's shoulder.

"N-No..."

"Then why are you so red?"
