Lights
Gene had known that his brother was clumsy when it came to things that he just wasn't, in all honesty, good at. Mai was beginning to realize that as Naru fought with the Christmas lights. Mai had forced the stoic man to help her put the Christmas Tree up in the SPR office.
Naru was sitting on the couch wrapped in Christmas Tree lights and looked as though he was completely losing. There was no hope that he would get untangled without having help from the assistant that was standing by the Christmas Tree laughing her head off as she held the tinsel in her hand that was going to go on the mantel above the front door.
"Naru, the lights are supposed to go on the tree." Mai told him and Naru glared at her angrily.
"I know." he hissed and Gene couldn't help but laugh as he remembered how Naru had always hid in his room when their mother and father had started to decorate for Christmas. No matter how hard he and his parents tried they couldn't get Naru out of his bedroom until they had all the decorations put up and were done.
Apparently Mai had more success in dragging him in the decorating process. Either that or she refused to leave until he agreed to help her decorate and Gene knew how Naru had a soft spot for the young girl and he knew it was hard for him to say no to her. Gene was slightly glad that his brother couldn't say no to her. After all it could the younger boy into many…interesting situations.
"Aw, poor Naru. Don't you know how to untangle lights?" Mai asked as she went over and sat down beside him and began to help him untangle his limbs from the lights that he was beginning to hate.
Gene's eye was caught by a piece of mistletoe that was lying on the table beside the couch they were currently sitting on. His eyebrows shot up before he looked at the two as Mai helped Naru untangle himself before a grin spread across his face. This was going to be good.
Without them noticing he made the mistletoe float over top of their heads as they became engrossed in untangling Naru. Finally they had the lights on the floor and off Naru before they both realized there was a shadow on them. Gene watched with a chuckle as their eyes raised up and saw the mistletoe floating above them at the same time.
"WHAT?!" Mai screeched before she looked at Naru and saw that he was still staring at the mistletoe in a horrified sort of way. Mai looked the other way and Gene groaned as both refused to take the first move. He watched them avoid the other's eyes for nearly five minutes before he took matters into his own hands, literally.
He went over to the two and put his hands on their head before slowly bringing their faces together. He loved the look of shock on their faces when he allowed them to pull away on their own accord. They sat there for a moment staring at each other before they both shot up from the couch. Mai flew out the front door, forgetting her purse. Gene saw Naru look at the purse before Gene made the purse float to his brother and Naru blinked.
'Take the purse and give it to her!' Gene said in his brother's mind and Naru jumped again before looking around with a frown on his face and then back at the floating purse.
"I need to get more sleep." he murmured to himself and Gene chuckled.
"It's good to be a ghost!" Gene laughed as Naru begrudgingly took the purse and walked out of office.
