for this chap I was inspired by the song "Baby it's cold outside" the ELF version…so my favorite parts of the song will sneak in here.

On the 8th day of Sexmas, at Cross Academy…8 suggestive songs, 7 ripe bananas, 6 x-ray glasses, 5 hours long, 4 sexy photos, 3 packs of poprocks, 2 fake boobs, and a pair of gummy undies.

"So that's why you smell like bananas!" Takuma laughed as he and Zero walked back to their dorms after class.

"Alright laugh it up." the hunter sighed, "Just be happy Shiki doesn't try to stick fruit up your butt."

"Well…"

Zero's eyes grew at least two sizes, "I do not even want to know."

"I'm just kidding! See you tomorrow." the blonde said before turning down the hall, humming 'Wonderful Christmastime' by Paul McCartney.

Standing outside of his dorm, Zero tired to mentally prepare himself for whatever was waiting for him on the other side. Lord only knew what Kaname would be doing.

He paused in the doorway, his eyes locked on a deep red envelope with his name scrawled across it.

"Is it from Kaname?" Zero wondered as he opened it. Inside he found a short letter:

Hey honey, sorry I'm not here when you get home.

I had to run to the store for a couple of things and I promised Yuki a ride to the mall.

I'll be back around 5.

love, Kaname

ps- check the bedside table

Curiosity getting the best of him, Zero hurried into their bedroom and saw a red envelope exactly like the one he was still holding. He could not believe his eyes! Inside were two front row seats to the Three Days Grace concert that he had just heard about yesterday. Zero clutched the tickets to his chest, a huge smile on his lips before noticing the time.

"Crap, it 4:30 already! I need to get dinner ready…" he muttered, gathering all the ingredients he needed.

As quickly as possible, the hunter sautéed some barbeque chicken breast, seasoned and boiled two potatoes, and made corn on the cob. After the table was set and two glasses of soda were poured, Zero decided to take a quick shower.

The hot water felt heavenly against his tired muscles as Zero stepped under the shower faucet. Rubbing some sweet smelling soap over his body, the hunter began to sing one of his favorite Christmas songs. "I really can't stay".

"Baby it's cold outside".

Zero's eyes shot open at the sound of someone else's voice. But after a moment of silence he relaxed, sure he was imagining it. "I've got to go away".

"Baby it's cold outside".

Now the silverette knew he wasn't alone. "I wish I knew how, to break the spell."

"You ought to say no, no, no" the voice sang, growing closer and closer.

"At least I'm gonna say that I tried."

The shower curtain was pushed aside, a certain pureblood coming to stand behind his lover. "What's the sense in hurting my pride?"

Zero smiled, feeling a pair of slender arms wrapping around his chest. "I really can't stay, but baby it's cold outside."
