Snow Globes

A PeinxTekai {Christmas} one-shot

"Come on Pein. Let's go to out spot," I said. I pulled on a jacket, stuffing his present inside as well. Pein pulled his jacket on too. I tugged at his hand. He was cheery. We had been having fun all night, celebrating with everyone else. Come on, even S-rank criminals celebrated Christmas. We came to our remote little spot, a tiny clearing just outside of the base."Here," I said giving him his present, or well the first stage of the present. The other would come later in some place a little warmer. His present was a snow globe. A pretty one with tiny little kids. The little boy kissing a little girl. The fake snow was piled at the bottom. I turned it upside down, letting the snow collect at the top, then I turned it around, letting the soft snow fall down on the flawless little world. "It's a perfect little world," I said, thinking aloud. He took it in his hand, admiring the little scene. "It's great," he replied. His breath warm, fogging up the air. My lips were cold, and they needed warming."I'm glad you liked it," I replied sheepishly. "I didn't really know what to get you." His eyes locked on mine. His hands caressed my cheek. One of his arms curved around to the small of my back, pulling me closer to him in the process."I don't care what I receive. As long as I have you, I'll always be happy," Pein replied. As soon as he said that, it began to snow, just like in the snow globe. I knew it was his doing. "Now it's our perfect little world," he said. I opened my mouth to try to say something, but I was speechless. His words were so delightful, so romantic. He bent down to kiss my open lips. His lips lingered on mine. "I love you Tekai," he said. He kissed me once more. I knew with my very soul that his words were true. "I love you, too, Pein," I replied. I watched as the snow collected into little mounds on his hair."Well the snow is my present for you," he said. I smiled widely. I liked the snow. "Well let me give you one more present," I said. I kissed him deeply. "I like that," he said. I grinned."I bet you did, Pein," I said, "my wonderful Pein, and I know you'll like the next present even more!" I gave him a devilish grin. He understood what I snow began to fall a little harder, accumulating into tiny mounds. I tried to scoop the little bit of snow stuck onto the ground. Before I could, Pein wrapped his arms around me playfully, twirling me around. His beautiful laugh echoed in the small space. I laughed too, seeing the joy in his eyes. Nothing made me more content than making him happy. I picked some of the snow from his hair. "You know, you look good with snow," I said. He chuckled. "Well more like you look good in anything." Now he really smiled. I bent down and picked up some snow. I scooped it into the palms of my hands. The soft powdery snow felt good. I blew it in his face. He pulled away, smiling and laughing. "Merry Christmas, my love," I said. He smiled, and his hands wrapped around me once again. "Merry Christmas to you," he said. He kissed my neck lightly. "The Merriest Christmases are always when I have them with you."

It was a perfect world.
