Title: Christmas Cheer
As Tenten tried to place the star at the top of the tree, she felt the kick-step under her begin to wobble dangerously.
"Whoa, whoa…ah!"
But just as Tenten was about to hit the ground, a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist. Looking up into the face of Neji Hyuuga, she smiled, and as he put her down, she kissed him quickly on his lips, turning to admire her work.
She then felt him wrap his arms around her waist, and she leaned into his embrace as she felt him rest his head on top of hers.
Merry
Hinata could feel herself blushing furiously as Naruto bear hugged her and began thanking her profusely for her present; a year's supply of free ramen. When she mentioned that it was no problem, he said that he on hoped that she liked her present half as much as he loved hers. When she responded that she would love it, no matter what she said, he smiled and handed her a small box.
Her throat closed up, and she could feel her heart begin to pound. The ring sparkled in the light, and as Naruto asked her the infamous questions that went along with the ring, she could feel the tears coursing down her cheeks.
When she realized that he was waiting for her answer, she smiled at him, her heart in her eyes, and gave him the answer he was waiting for.
Christmas
Sakura sang along to the song "Deck the Halls", which was currently blasting out of her stereo system, as she decorated her sugar cookies. When she heard the door bell, she put down her colored icing and ran to open the door.
Sasuke was standing in the door way, waiting to be allowed in. Seeing her friend, she motioned for him to enter, and went back to the kitchen table, where her half-decorated Frosty cookie currently resided.
"Sakura?"
"Yes, Sasuke?"
"You've got icing right over….here" He said as he leaned down to kiss her cheek.
As he slowly leaned back up, Sakura spoke.
"Sasuke?"
"Yea?"
"You missed."
"What?"
"You missed, silly."
Standing up from her chair, she wrapped her arms around his neck and tenderly kissed him.
To All
Shikamaru rushed to the Yamanaka flower shop, wondering what kind of emergency could have Ino in such a panic. He remembered when he had received the letter; he had dropped everything and had raced to the shop. I mean, it wasn't every day that his best girlfriend (whom he frequently wished were something more) wrote a letter to him saying that he had to come to the shop as soon as possible, and that what she had to tell them could change both of their lives forever.
As he pushed open the door, panting slightly, he saw Ino sitting at the counter. She looked up when she heard the bells chime, and it looked as though her eyes had lit up when she had seen him (Although that was most likely wishful thinking on his part).
"Shikamaru! I'm so glad you're here! I have something very important to tell you!"
"Yes? What is it, Ino?"
"Earlier today I realized that I have never told you what my favorite flower is."
"…that was the big 'emergency'? You needed to tell me your favorite kind of flower? Damnit, Ino! I thought this was a real emergency?!"
"It is! Don't you want to know what it is?"
Shikamaru let out a deep sigh as he responded "Alright, fine. What is your favorite type of flower?"
"Why, mistletoe, of course!" Ino waited for a few moments before whispering. "Now ask me why!"
"Why is mistletoe your favorite flower, Ino? Why not roses, or tulips, or something like that?"
Ino smiled shyly as she pulled out a branch of mistletoe from behind her back and answered.
"Because with mistletoe, I can do something that I can't do with any other type of flower."
She held the flower above them both as she leaned in and whispered "Because, with mistletoe, I can do this."
And then, she kissed him.
And To All, A Good Night!
