And here we are, the last chapter for this Christmas fic! I hope you enjoy and have a safe and happy Christmas!
"Miguel?" Kai whispers as a light blush appears on his cheeks at the close proximity between them.
Miguel can't help himself. The way Kai is looking at him with a sense of adorable confusion, and yet with a sense of hope shimmering in his stunning red eyes is too much for him. He leans forward and presses his lips against Kai's softly, half expecting him to push him away when he hears him emit a small noise of surprise. Instead, much to his delight, Kai lets his eyes slip close and he presses forward a little, hesitant and shy.
However, the feelings of being shy and hesitant soon disappear when Miguel lifts a hand and slips it under Kai's chin, tilting his face just a bit more towards his, allowing him to deepen the kiss considerably.
Moving himself a little so he is now leaning against his chest, Kai places a hand on Miguel's shoulder as the handsome blonde runs his tongue over his lips, caressing them, coaxing them gently to open and allow him entrance, and he grants him permission, parting his lips on a sigh. His heart begins to flutter in his chest, never imaging himself ever receiving such a tender display of affection, especially from someone as naturally gorgeous as Miguel here.
Is he dreaming or is this kiss actually happening?
Slipping his tongue pass the serrated line of his teeth, Miguel feels his heart skip a beat as he starts to explore the warm interior of Kai's mouth, tilting his head to the side just a little so he can explore deeper and more thoroughly. He must admit that he has been wanting to do this for a long time now, ever since he met Kai, and there is no way he is going to let this moment slip away.
Sliding his fingers into the silky strands of Kai's uniquely stunning two tone blue hair, Miguel relishes in the exotic taste and feel of Kai, running his tongue over his, stroking it, caressing it, causing Kai to shiver from the pleasure.
Kai gives a little mew of pleasure as he shifts, placing himself into Miguel's lap, never once breaking the kiss. He wraps his arms around Miguel's neck; totally lost in the kiss, uncaring that anyone could stumble across them in such a way.
Keeping his fingers within the satin soft tresses of his hair, Miguel wraps an arm around Kai's waist, pressing him further against his chest, a sense of concern edging its way into his being when he feels how thin Kai is, compared to someone his height should be.
He's been working too hard, it seems.
As he continues to kiss the enigmatic Phoenix deeper, holding him in his arms and never wanting to let go, he thinks back on a previous thought of his, about wanting Kai to come back to Spain with him. He soon comes to the conclusion that it was a good idea, Kai obviously needs a break. He is going to convince him to return with him, to experience a Christmas the way he, his friends and his family celebrates it, even if he has to drag him there himself.
Giving one last lingering caress, Miguel reluctantly breaks the kiss; feeling pleased with himself as he watches Kai lean back, still sitting in his lap, panting softly with a dusting of red across his nose and cheeks. His hands rests on his shoulders as Miguel's keeps a firm arm around his waist, the fingers of his other hand curling around the back of his neck, keeping him still.
He leans forward to press a soft kiss to Kai's cheek before resting their foreheads together, Kai's eyes half-lidded from the intense emotions that he is currently experiencing.
Although he is enjoying their current seating arrangements completely and utterly, Miguel knows it's not the most comfortable sleeping positions, so he gives a sigh that is heavy with disappointment and shifts Kai off of his lap. His heart skips a beat when he spies a look of devastation on Kai's face, seemingly taking this shift of positions as a rejection. Fortunately, Miguel is quick to wipe the heartbreaking look of his face by pulling Kai against his chest, slipping Kai's body between his legs and wrapping an arm around his waist, holding him close.
That crushed look he was wearing, though fleeting, is something Miguel never wants to see on his face ever again.
It just…doesn't suit him at all.
"Miguel?" Kai says his name once again.
"Let's get some sleep," Miguel suggests as he gently places a soft kiss to Kai's brow, causing Kai's eyes to soften into a rare warmth at the tender display. "We'll talk in the morning."
"Ok," Kai says with a sigh as he nuzzles his head under Miguel's chin and rests his upper body completely against Miguel's chest, all tension draining away from him completely.
"Merry Christmas," Miguel whispers as he places a soft kiss to the top of his head before he closes his eyes and rests his cheek on Kai's soft hair, he succumbing to sleep quicker than he thought he would.
Oh well, Kai does have a very calming presence about him…
The night wore on; the winds continue to howl outside the walls, the night growing darker and deeper as time drew onwards. Just as time moved on, so did the raging storm outside, the winds losing intensity and soon, disappear into a light breeze just as the sun begins to rise. The twilight of the night sky fading away as colors of red, orange and pink invade the sky.
It is now early morning, Christmas morning.
As soon as Miguel opens his eyes to the white light of dawn's first rays, the first thing he sees is the top of Kai's head as he continues to slumber peacefully against his chest. A smile appears on his lips as he leans forward to gaze upon his face and notices that Kai is wearing a content smile of his own. It's soft and small; a slight turning of the lips, but the gesture warms Miguel's heart, knowing how significant the sight is. It's a true smile, one he is certain no other has come to witness themselves.
He truly is beautiful.
"Kai?" he whispers softly, lifting a hand to curl a wayward strand of stormy gray hair behind his ear, letting his fingers linger there, relishing the sight of Kai in a natural state of peacefulness.
Soon, Kai begins to stir, waking from his sleep. He lifts his head from Miguel's chest, his eyes still slightly unfocused from the sleep, and gazes up into his eyes. He blinks away the sleep, only to have his eyes widen when he remembers that transpired between them last night and a light blush dances across his cheeks and he drops his head again, feeling shy.
A chuckle passes Miguel's lips as he leans forward and places a kiss to his brow, which causes Kai to stiffen at the contact, but he soon relaxes and falls against his chest.
"What was that last night?" Kai asks with a sense of uncertainty in his voice.
Miguel lifts his hand and runs his fingers through the silky strands and draws in a deep breath. "Something I wanted to do for a while now," he confesses.
Kai's eyes widen and his shifts in his position to rest his hands on Miguel's shoulders, pressing their chest together as he looks into his eyes, searching for any sign that Miguel could be lying, patronizing him in anyway.
But there is nothing by sincere warmth in those stunning blue orbs of his.
"R-really?" Kai stutters as he feels uncharacteristically shy, his blush darkening a shade or two as he swallows thickly. "I did too," he whispers ever so softly under his breath.
Miguel hears the words and must restrain himself from throwing his arms around Kai and pulling him into another soul searing kiss. Kai is just so adorable when he's shy like this. The light pink and modest blush on his cheeks suits him so well!
"I must admit, this was one of the best Christmases I've had in a long time," Miguel says with a smile on his face.
Kai leans back to rest on his knees and look upon his face, his brow furrowing in a sense of utter bewilderment. "What?" he asks, wondering deep inside whether or not Miguel has a fever or something. He must be delirious. "We're stuck at an airport, in the freezing cold and had to sleep on the hard floor. How can this be one of the best you've ever had?"
Miguel laughs in good humor. "One good thing came out of all of this," he says as he places a hand on Kai's cheek and gazes into his shimmering ruby eyes.
"And, what was that?" Kai asks, his pale and slender hand moving up to gently touch the back of Miguel's hand with his fingertips in a sense of disbelief that anyone would want to touch him like this, so tenderly and warmly.
Then again, he never thought anyone would kiss him so passionately like Miguel did last night.
"I got to spend Christmas Eve with you, didn't I?" he says as he flashes him a charming smile.
A very slight look of amusement appears on Kai's face as he places his hand fully over the one on his cheek and gives a very tiny shake of his head. "You're happy to spend Christmas snowbound in an airport?"
"No," Miguel laughs again as he lifts his other hand and places it on Kai's other cheek, pulling him closer towards him. "I would have liked a better location, but I'm glad that I got to spend it with you in any case."
"Miguel…" Kai whispers, his ruby eyes shimmering with a sense of belonging, a sense of happiness and a sense of understanding. "I'm glad that I got to spend Christmas with you as well."
Keeping his hands on Kai's cheeks, Miguel leans forward as he carefully pulls Kai forward at the same time, their lips mere millimeters away from each other when a loud voice ordering everyone to wake up causes the two to spring apart in surprise, Miguel hitting his head on the wall behind him and Kai falling onto his butt.
"The army is here," the local flight attendant suddenly announces. "The storm has let up enough of them to bring in their all terrain vehicles and get us out of here."
A cheer goes up as well as some sighs of relief. Finally, they can get to their destinations and celebrate Christmas the way they had intended.
"Well, that's good news," Miguel says with relief in his voice as he rubs the back of his head. He turns to Kai to see if he agrees with him, instead finds the enigma staring at the floor, his shoulders slumping forward and his eyes shimmering with a sense of disappointment.
Miguel's heart immediately goes out to him, knowing that Kai probably thinks they are going to part ways and not see each other for a long time. From the time he has spent with Kai, he realizes how insecure and fragile he really is. He thinks he's going to be abandoned again.
Not if Miguel can help it.
"Come back with me," Miguel suddenly says, not as a question, but as a light command as he climbs to his feet.
Kai reels back in surprise. "Pardon?"
Miguel holds out his hand for Kai to take. "Come to Spain with me. The meeting is most likely canceled, and you are half way there, so why not? You can stay at my place. Technically, it's still Christmas Day, and I said I wanted to spend Christmas with you, didn't I?"
"You…?" Kai stutters, clearly in shock at the proposition. "You actually want me to join you for Christmas in Spain?"
Miguel continues to hold out his hand. "Yes, I do."
"But…" Kai trails off. He looks into Miguel's eyes with a hint of suspicion in his own. He can't help thinking that there's something more to Miguel's request. And there is, but not what he expects. There's nothing but positive emotions shimmering in his blue eyes, something he has never encountered before. Turning his ruby eyes away from Miguel's sapphire orbs, Kai finds himself staring down at Miguel's hand, still waiting patiently for him to take.
Dare he? Dare he leave Grev behind for a while, forget about work commitments and actually have some fun, staying with Miguel in his home country for Christmas?
…Yes.
Kai lifts his hand and carefully places it within Miguel's, a sense of electricity racing through him at the touch and the sense of warm when Miguel tightens his grip on his lithe hand.
"Yes," he whispers. "I will join you."
A smile appears on Miguel's face as he tugs on Kai's hand, pulling him to his feet, drawing him closer to him and then taking him into his arms. A light blush spreads across Kai's cheeks, but he has a small smile of his own adorning his lips and he leans contently against Miguel's chest. He feels Miguel place a hand on the curve of his neck and gently tilts his head towards him, a fluttering sensation making its presence known in his chest when Miguel begins to dip his head towards him. Their lips brush against each other's in a feather light touch before they both fall against each other, losing themselves in their second kiss.
Before Miguel was cursing the snow for abandoning him in a deserted airfield far from home, but now, he is grateful. After all, having the chance to find an angel like Kai only comes once a lifetime and he finds himself very lucky to find him so young in life. Now, he can look forward to the future they have ahead of them, and for the many Christmases to come.
There's no need to hurry. They have all the time in the world.
Pulling back from the kiss, Miguel presses their foreheads together and gives him an Eskimo kiss, causing Kai to smile softly. "Merry Christmas," he whispers.
Kai makes a little noise of contentment and tilts his head to the side, brushing his lips over Miguel's in a feather light kiss. "Merry Christmas," he replies.
All together now; "Awwwwwwwwwwww…!"
I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year! –glomps-
