Alright! Another chapter! Sorry, my laptop's battery was basically dead so I had to take it to the store to get fixed, so that meant no computer for me for ten days -.-'' thank god I had my DS and ipod or that would've been a tough ten days. Anyway, I hope you like it! ^-^

"Gilly!" Hikari shouted.

He grunted "What?"

"Wake up! It's Christmas!"

"You aren't five anymore! Go back to sleep!" He hissed.

"She shook him in his bed suddenly his eyes snapped open and he looked at her "How did you get in my room?"

She stuck out her tongue and winked "I have my ways!"

He jumped up threatening to choke her and she ran out. He sighed and rubbed his eyes "What a pain." He got up and got dressed. When he walked out of his room Hikari looked at him and pouted "Of course you don't wear your PJ's."

"Again you aren't five anymore!" He said.

"Hmmmmm..." She whined.

He closed his eyes and sighed "Let's just get this over with-"

Hamilton ran out of nowhere and tackled poor Gill "Merry Christmas Gill!"

Hikari started laughing and Gill glared at his father "Get off me..." He said.

"Aw but its Christmas!" He whined like Hikari did. Gill couldn't tell if she got the whining thing from his father or the other way around, but either way... it annoyed him.

After what seemed like an eternity of opening gifts Gill sighed and said "Well I'm going back to bed now seeing that this is one of the only times I get a chance to relax."

Hikari jumped up suddenly "Hold on real quick!" She ran into her room and heard her moving things around looking for something. She ran back out and handed him a small wrapped box. Gill had no idea what she could have possible gotten him, it was probably a gift card or some strange thing she made him. He opened it, right on target, it was a small card that she made, it had a floral pattern around it and had "To Gill" written on it. "What is this?" He asked with a huff.

"Its a coupon."

"What?" He asked with a annoyed tone.

"You know, if you ever want me to do a favor for you, you can use this. I can make your favorite meal, take you out somewhere, or something else like that free of charge."

"You do most of the things you listed anyway for me."

Her cheeks puffed out "Not all the time!"

He groaned "Fine..." He handed her the card "Make me ratatouille for tonight."

Her mouth dropped then she quickly jumped back at him "Don't just randomly ask me to do something for you, it has to be something you usually won't ask me to do." (Note: to all you sick minded people, that is not what the card is going to be used for! And you better get those little nasty thoughts out of your head before I find you and get them out for you! :P)

His eye twitched "Fine." He spat.

She just stood there staring at him "What?" He asked.

Her face got red from anger "What about me?" She asked still keeping a calm tone in her voice.

His stomach dropped, he forgot, completely forgot about getting her something. How stupid was he? He was so busy with work that he forgot, that was no excuse though, because now, he had to face her about it.

The red faded from her face as she breathed in, then she asked in a quiet voice "You didn't get me anything." It wasn't a question she asked, it was a statement.

Hamilton looked around "Weeell, I'll be... somewhere..." Then he wobbled off quickly.

He wanted to speak but he couldn't for some reason, why couldn't he say "Yes I did get you a present." then get some random thing from his room, the words would not, could not, come out and his legs refused to budge. He just looked at her.

The thing that Gill didn't get about Hikari was when she got mad, actually mad, she didn't yell at the person she was mad at, instead, she would get very quiet and not look someone directly in the eye. Due to her positive attitude, this didn't occur a lot, but when it did, he always hated it. Now was one of the times when he wanted to yell at her, tell her to yell at him, because it bugged him when she didn't talk to him. And now that he was positive of his feelings for her... that feeling was even worse when she didn't talk to him. She broke eye contact with him and looked at her feet.

"I'm sorry..." He managed to say, but it wasn't in the tone he wanted it to be in. He sounded like it wasn't a big deal... but it was... She just nodded slightly. She turned around "I'll start making breakfast..." She said quietly. When she left the room all he wanted to do was scream about being and idiot. Why did he have to forget, why? Now she was going to be mad at him for the rest of their lives. Now that he thought about it, he wouldn't know what to get her anyway. The only reason he got her the hair clip was because he saw he looking at it. He couldn't get he anything she actually liked even if it bit him in the butt. The only thing he had given her over the years were just cards and gift cards, that's it. Still, even that was better than nothing. He could've just made her a card and she wouldn't be like this.

She wouldn't look at Gill in the eye the whole day and it was killing him. She would occasionally ask him something like, what would you want for dinner/lunch, but it would be in the quietest tone ever. Another thing that made him mad, why did she still ask what he wanted even though she probably hated him. It would be better just to ignore him completely. After dinner, Hamilton hid in his room again waiting for Hikari to scream at his son. She was washing the dishes when Gill came in "Do you want me to help."

"...I'm fine..." She said. He walked over and helped her anyway. She acted like he wasn't there still, she just kept doing her own thing. He felt more and more fidgety as the seconds went by. Finally he said "Hikari look... I'm really sorry about forgetting to get you something... I was really focused on work and I forgot... I know that isn't really a excuse for not getting you something. If you want we could go somewhere in a few days and I can buy you something..." He trailed off.

She was quiet then said "Fine..."

He blinked then looked at her, she still wasn't looking at him, in fact her back was towards him too.

"Hikari what else do you want me to do?" He spat "I said I was sorry, I really mean it. Please stop acting like I'm a ghost."

She didn't say anything, she finished putting the dishes away and walked out of the kitchen. He had an idea, he took out her coupon "Fine, I want to use my coupon now, talk please!"

"The coupon doesn't work on me not talking." She snapped still not looking at him.

"Ha, nice try, you said that I can use it on something you don't usually do, and that is ignore me!"

"I mean it doesn't work anymore!"

"What the hell do you mean, is there a date on when this coupon doesn't work?" He shouted.

"It stopped working when you said you didn't get me anything."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN-!" He groaned and rubbed his head "Please Hikari... what do I have to do to make it up to you?"

"Nothing..."

"So you are going to stay mad at me forever? Is that even possible?" She didn't respond "Ha! That isn't possible for you."

He heard a little noise coming from her, he tried to look at her face but she wouldn't let him "Are you crying?" He asked.

"No." She said, but her voice was muffled slightly and another sob came after her response.

"Yes you are." He said.

"No I"m not..." She snapped.

He grabbed her arm, she struggled but he managed to turn her around. She was crying but refused to look at him still. His stomach jerked again when he saw the tears on her face.

"Please..." He said in a calmer tone "How can I make it up to you?"

She didn't say anything she was quiet for a long time then she said "I don't know..."

She made no sense, all he gave her in the past years were cards which she probably lost over the years, why did she care if he didn't get her anything, why did she have to make such a big fuss about it? Every year he just gave her a card or something like that and she would smile the same smile every time, it was the smile that made his heart beat faster every time he saw it. Now he was dying to see it again. He sighed and pulled her towards him, he wrapped his arms around her and held her. Hikari blinked several times, not knowing what was going on.

"I'm very sorry Hikari..." He said "More than you know... I know I might not be able to make this up to you, all I can really do is hope that you can forgive me..."

Hikari looked up at him and grinned.

Gill blushed again "W-what?"

"That was actually very sweet Gill." Her grin grew "Alright you're forgiven."

"What..." He said letting go of her and glaring at her.

"You are forgiven! You gave me a hug... for the first time EVER basically! I always wanted that! Plus, I saw a actual sweet side of you."

"That was all it took for you to talk to me again?" He asked with a annoyed tone.

"Yep."

He sighed then turned around and said "Alright, now that I don't have to live with the guilt I'm going to be in my room." She blinked and watched him walk away, with his back turned to her he added "Oh and if a hug was all you wanted, forget about me giving you presents for your birthday or Christmas, I'll just give you a hug or a friendly handshake."

He expected her to get all in his face about that but she was quiet for a second then said "A hug will be fine."

He turned his head "What?"

She had a smile on her face still "A hug for my birthday and Christmas every year, that would be fine."

He didn't get what she meant "So why do you just want that?"

"Like I said before, you never really hugged me up until this point. A hug twice a year... that actually sounds really nice."

He face became super red after that, he turned his head so Hikari wouldn't see. "If you wan hugs so bad then I won't give them to you anymore! I'll get you a card instead then!" He snapped.

Hikari giggled "You just said you were going to give me a hug, and cards are nice too."

"You are crazy!" He snapped, suddenly he got tackled by Hikari. She squeezed him "I know!"

Gill managed to keep himself from getting any redder "C-can you let go, you are crushing me."

"Aw... but I still want another hug..." She whined.

He sighed "Fine one more."

She grinned and hugged him again, he hugged her back. Now that he thought about it, giving her a hug once and a while didn't seem so bad after all.

Can I get an "aaaaaaaaaw!"? Lol so I hope you guys liked this chapter, the next few chapters will have more of Hikari's point of view in them ^-^ Hopefully she will feel the same way! Please comment or leave suggestions.
