My Grown Up Christmas List
"Kyo, Kyo, Kyo, Kyo... KYO!!" The rabbit pouted, rather loudly, his bottom lip stuck out childishly.
"What?" Kyo screeched in return.
Haru had to admit, he couldn't decide who was louder; his best friend or his lover. His black side, and painfully pulsing head begged him to intervene, to knock Momiji over the head like he'd seen the older boy do many times before, but his white side wouldn't dare. No matter how annoying his peer was.
"What should I put on my Christmas list?" The blonde squeaked.
Kyo growled.
"I don't know!" He bellowed. "How about a girlfriend, so you won't bug me so much?"
The rabbit cocked his head to the side, blinking in the older boy's direction. Haru could feel a smirk forming on his lips, as he spoke the words he knew would send his kitten into a complete and utter shock.
"You don't seriously think Momiji likes girls, do you?"
And Haru realized, as his cat sputtered, that he knew Kyo better than anyone else.
------------------
"You didn't think he was gay, even once?" Haru asked his boyfriend later that night.
The cat shook his head, a blush painting his features.
"I mean, I thought it was too obvious to be true!"
Haru laughed.
"Come on, Kyo," He sighed. "You should know by now that every Sohma has a questionable sexuality."
It was Kyo's turn to laugh.
"I know," He chuckled. "But I thought we were the only ones open about it."
He turned away from the younger boy, trying desperately to process the information the ox had given him. Was he as obviously gay as the blonde haired rabbit? God, he hoped not. The last thing he needed was the title "flaming faggot" added to his ever-growing list of names.
He felt two arms wrap themselves around him, as he often did when the younger boy sensed his discomfort. He turned into Haru's embrace.
'You know what,' He told himself. 'What the Hell does it matter? They're probably just jealous that I got Haru before they could.'
Afterall, just as the ox had said, every Sohma had a questionable sexuality.
------------------
"What do you want for Christmas, baby?" Haru drew out.
Kyo smiled shyly, as the younger boy's hands roamed his bare form.
"Don't be stupid, Shigure already told me you got me something."
Haru's breath hitched.
"Did he tell you what it was?" He whispered, voice almost pleading. 'Please, God, have mercy!' His mind screamed.
"Nah, I didn't ask." The cat answered.
Why did he expect any different? The older boy may be loud, rude, and quick-tempered, but when it came to love, he was a hopeless romantic. (not that anyone knew about it, however.)
"Do you want to guess?" He joked, and the orange haired boy nodded slyly.
"It's a.." He trailed off, playing the ox's game perfectly.
He never finished, since Haru's lips cut off his answer. Not as if he minded or anything.
At that very moment, he felt completely at peace. It was Christmas time, afterall.
What better time to let his defenses down?
