I meant to update this before twelve AM, but it didn't work out. Read and find out who confesses first, though I think I made it a little obvious in the last chapter.

December 25- A Lovely Snowy Christmas

Yuki had woken up to the Christmas decorations set up in his room. The lights had blended into a perfect mixture of the Christmas spirit. He had found the silence outside his bedroom a little weird, though. Usually, everyone is up and running before he was. Opening the shades and the window, his room lights up instantly while he watches the steady snowfall. A slight knock is heard on his door.

"Ohayo, Yuki, and Merry Christmas," Luka catches Yuki in a warm embrace. He was left with no choice but to smile back.

"Merry Christmas, Luka-nee. Are the others awake?"

"Meiko is. Everyone is probably asleep."

"Yuki!" Meiko called, "Merry Christmas! Here you go!"

"Already?" A confused Yuki looks over to the tree, "I thought I'd wait until everyone was up."

"This is your first Christmas, correct? We have to make it special for you! Your gifts will come at you one by one as the day progresses.

Yuki receives the gift with confusion still active. Two CDs were unwrapped from its paper and ribbon. One had no cover, which the disk was labelled Vocaloid Mix. The other was a CD from North America. The group was called the New Kids On The Block, and Yuki saw it was the album called Ten, "Sweet. A start to a new music shelf."

"I was told you were bilingual like Luka, so why not songs from us AND from the America? The foreign tourists might get a kick out of you singing a song from their country."

"It's wonderful. Arigato gozaimasu, Meiko-nee," Yuki smiles. he then receives a text on his phone. Aria had used Aoki's phone.

[I want you to have something from me and Aoki. Come to the usual cafe when you get a chance.

From, Aria]

Yuki then catches attention to the food in the kitchen. His mouth watered, "I smell omuraisu, my favorite…"

"There's also bacon and maple sausage waiting if you want some. Go ahead and dig in. It will be a while before the other bums wake up," Luka laughs with Meiko, "Besides, you're gonna be everywhere today. We'll wait until you get home to open what you gave us."

"I'd appreciate that."

Yuki had left to find Aria and Aoki at the cafe. Few people were there because of today's holiday.

"Ohayo, Master Yuki," Aoki smiled. The boy said nothing as he saw her in a maid outfit. Yuki flushed instantly. He didn't know she had worked here. Aoki shakes her head, "Should have told you I work here, huh, Yuki-chan? I do work here, started a few months ago."

Aria smiles as Yuki is lead to her table, "Glad you could make it, Yuki-nii. Liked the surprise Aoki gave you?"

"Hai hai! I didn't know she worked. Anyway, I left right after eating. I'm not late am I?"

"A little bit, we got here fifteen minutes ago. Want something to drink?"

"Caramel macchiato, if possible. I'm actually quite glad you contacted me. Either way, I was gonna find out where to meet the two of you."

Aoki giggles, "Sounds like we got two birds with one stone."

"Arigato, Aoki-nee," Yuki sips his drink. They know he's on a schedule, therefore, going straight to the point.

"We know you're gonna be busy today, so we'll just give you these," Aria reveals two small boxes, one from Aoki and the other from Aria.

"Arigato. How thoughtful," The smaller box came first, which showed the latest Ipod generation when revealed. Clicking a button, a message appears in the wallpaper of the screen.

[Preloaded with mine and Aria's songs. Hope you have a magical Christmas! Aoki]

"Alright. Just need to use the house computer and transfer my CDs into it," The next box in opened and Yuki chuckles, "I think I'm the only one to find headphones wrapped in a scarf a little funny. It's all great. I appreciate it."

Aria returns Yuki's embrace. Aoki does the same and they open their given presents.

"A bracelet of my matching gemstone, how pretty."

"I also find it pleasant," Aria agrees.

Yuki nods with a grin. He chose the right gift. Finishing his coffee, he waves good bye to the two and goes back home. This time, Rin and Len are awake.

"Onii-chan! You're back!" Rin was almost climbing on top of the boy. Len pulls Rin off of him.

"You're late for lunch. One o'clock."

"Gomen, I'm gonna have to go back out again due to Haku living somewhere else."

"At least open your present after some onigiri."

Yuki went off on his portion of his meal like he did the omuraisu. He ate more than intended so he could get to Haku's house and back. The box is opened and a black star of obsidian was on a necklace. Everything he receives makes him bear the same smile, "It's another perfect gift. Arigato, Nii-san, Nee-san," Waving good bye again, he leaves to meet with Kaito and Gakupo at the park area. One box held both surprises from them to Yuki.

"A coffee maker, that's great," the boy proceeds, "And a cookbook. It's like you guys can read my mind."

Kaito answers, "So you do like coffee. Only you and Luka drink it, surprisingly enough. It also includes some small packs of cream."

Gakupo nods, "The cookbook was my conclusion of your fascination with food. It will help with hand-eye coordination as well, so it might help with the next few lessons."

"I can't thank everyone enough," Yuki wipes off that single tear he had.

"Go on. We're sure Haku's waiting for you."

"Sayonara, Kaito-nii, Gakupo-nii," Yuki hates to leave from his family, but he also had to reach everyone he knows today. His excitement grew as he had met everyone so far. The last on his list were Haku, Luka, and Miku. Reaching Haku's door, Yuki is hit on his head by her.

"Yuki no baka! I thought you would come to me first!"

"You're hitting me just because I'm saving the best for last? Jeez, how mad are you?"

Haku blushes at the realization, "Let's just go back to your place. We gotta meet up with Luka and Miku," She grabs his hand and rushes. Has this holiday gotten to her? Once they got back home, Yuki had nothing but a gift from Luka in front of him. Yuki says his thanks and carefully unwraps the paper. Inside revealed a DVD and a Manga. He immediately thought that Luka looked over his shoulder from the times he was reading about mytholigical creatures.

Luka smiles, "I thought Dance in the Vampire Bund and the Rosario+Vampire stuff were perfect to what you were reading on the Net."

"So you were looking over my shoulder! Luka-nee, you sneak! Wait a minute, where's Haku and Miku? What's with the big Christmas box?"

Everyone backs away from Yuki and the area. He didn't understand what was going on. At he saw Haku in the kitchen for water. It was then the box flew open and Miku pinned Yuki to the ground. She was in a Santa outfit with the cat ears from the other day. Everyone laughed at Yuki's startled face and made one comment.

"A Cristmas nekomata for Yuki!"

Miku shakes her head, "I knew it. You've become really perverted."

"It's not like that!" Yuki protested.

"Doshite, Neru," Haku sighs, "Apparently, Neru has a problem and she needs my help, gomen, Yuki. Enjoy the rest of your day."

"As long as I saw you today, then I'm fine," He's the given the last gift, from Miku and Haku together. It looked big enough to hold a staff of some sort, but Yuki had got the wrong idea. It was the replica of Black ✭ Rock Shooter's blade. Around the hilt was a blue Wayfinder. The tears from Yuki's eyes made him look like a child.

"Doshita no?" Miku asked.

"You and Haku," He sniffles, "Went out of your ways to bring me these. I'm so happy. I know I'm crying. Demo, arigato, Miku."

"No need to get emotional over it, Yuki no baka."

Later, after the dinner meal, Yuki went up to the second floor of the porch, gazing at the stars. He thought today was the best day of his life, regardless of only being here a few weeks.

"Oh, hey, Miku. I still can't apologize enough for my display earlier."

"It's alright," Miku blushes, "I still have one more thing to give you…"

"Nani?"

"I've only known you a little less than a month, and you see me as your sister…"

"We're both Vocaloids, correct? Are we not siblings?"

"Hai… Demo… Could you instead…see me as a woman rather than your sister?"

Yuki was in a little bit of surprise.

"I…I love you, Yuki Izayoi!"

The boy recollects himself. Miku was always so cheerful, but due to this one sentence she had spoken, it was said with a nervous feeling. Yuki has a hard time figuring if it's irony or coincidence to what he and Luka were talking about the other day. Miku is wrapped in a warm embrace, which Yuki makes eye contact and a short gap between them. Timing could never be more perfect. The holiday spirit, the night sky, nothing else would be greater.

"Took you long enough."

"Say again?"

"I wanted to see if you felt that way, so I waited. If you didn't, then my efforts to hold my emotion back would have been for naught."

"Yuki…" Miku was speechless, how long had he held back for?

"I love you too, Hatsune Miku."

The remaining inches from their lips had closed, disappeared to make a passionate kiss. This was the start of something bigger to bring forth.

Another chapter done, I'm nearing the end of this story, and I might have started a new story by now. See you next year for the last chapter!
