Disclaimer; I don't own the rights to Kingdom Hearts. But I am asking for them for Christmas. And my birthday. And Easter. Any holiday where getting things happens really.
Day- 10
This was impossible. I had hit every store, checked every Internet site, gone to every single street market I could find, and still I couldn't find a single thing for Sora. It was impossible! Nothing called out to me, nothing was good enough, or cute enough. And the few things that I did like were either in the hands of other shoppers or out of stock. I only had two days left, and there was absolutely nothing to get Sora!
A fancy set of antique keys? No, to old. A coupon for an all you can eat restaurant? To cheap? A Paopu fruit keychain? To cheesy. Sea Salt Ice cream? No that was my thing. Nothing fit, nothing seemed to work. I had to find the perfect gift for Sora, otherwise everything would be ruined. I finally just collapsed against one of the pillars in the mall, groaning.
I wished I could go and see Santa, to see if he could help me find the perfect gift for Sora, but according to the sign in front of his throne, he was off at the North Pole, checking to make sure things were all in order for Christmas. "Uh Roxas, what are you doing" I glanced over to see Ven, holding hands with Vanitas, giving me a concerned look. "Failing at getting Sora a gift." I muttered, going back to leaning against the pillar. Vanitas rolled his eyes.
"Don't you like him or something?" I nodded and Vanitas went on. "Well then just do what I do with Ven. Pin him down, make out with him, grab his ass, get him in bed and" "Vani!" Ventus exclaimed, slapping his hand over Vanitas' mouth, blushing blood red. I raised my eyes at Ventus, while he nervously smiled, looking furiously at Vanitas. Vanitas winked at me, before giving Ventus' fingers a nip. Ventus let out a yelp, pulling back his hand. Faster than I could see, Vanitas swooped in, picking Ventus up bridal style and brining his mouth to Ven's.
Ventus let out an outraged sigh, but seconds later moaned and started pushing back, pulling Vanitas' head closer. A few awkward seconds went by while I watched, before Vanitas stopped kissing Ventus and put him down saying "See, works every time." Ven wobbled for a second, trying to get his bearings, before glaring at Vanitas, punching his arm.
Vanitas just laughed before looking back to me. "Honestly Roxy, we're talking about Sora. That kid'll love anything you get him." "Yeah but I wanna get him the perfect gift? Without molesting him!" Vanitas chuckled before relenting and saying "Fine. He's really crazy about this holiday, if you wanna get him something special, why don't you get him one of those fancy snow globes he's always going on about. A snow globe; that was it!
"That's perfect! Oh my gosh, thank you so much!" I jumped forward, throwing my arms around Vanitas. "There's my good boyfriend" Ventus said joining in. Vanitas laughed, wrapping his arms around us, before a mischievous look came to his eyes. "So since I'm you're hero now, how about a Christmas present? Nothing big, but how about you two reconsider your answer on that Christmas Threesome I wanted." Ventus and I punched Vanitas in the arms at the same time, and he laughed, stumbling back. "And there's real boyfriend." Ventus muttered.
"I'll take that as a maybe." Vanitas said laughing. I rolled by eyes before saying "Thanks guys, see you later!" They waved to me as I rounded the corner. Ok, a snow globe. There was a store for that just up ahead and around the corner, I just had to get there. I sped up, and turned the corner only to slam into somebody. We fell back, rubbing our heads and saying "Sorry!"
At the same time. It took a few seconds for us to register who the other was, but after a few seconds, we laughed, and I said "Hey Sor!" Sora laughed, rubbing his head again saying "Hey Roxy. Sheesh, guess I know what my present from you is; From Roxy, a Christmas Concussion!" I rolled my eyes, letting Sora help me get back up. "You here shopping for your Secret Santa to?" He asked. I nodded before I could think and Sora smiled slyly, before turning on his puppy dog face.
"So, you wanna tell me who you got?" "No." Yes. "It's a secret remember?" I stuck out my tongue and Sora giggled, before saying "Ah well. Hey, come one lets go get some hot chocolate!" I followed Sora like a lost puppy, walking over to the hot chocolate vendor while Sora pulled out some money, ordering two hot chocolates.
"So did you find anything yet?" I asked, trying to catch him off guard. Sora smiled knowingly at me before shaking his head saying "Nope. It's really hard, I'm trying to get just the right gift for them. And the worst part is, I know exactly what they want, but honestly, I'm not sure how to give it to them." "That hard huh?" Sora chuckled before saying "Yeah, really. It's one of those gifts where even if you try and give it to them, they might not realize what it is. You get what I mean?"
I shook my head and Sora laughed, thanking the vendor for the Chocolate and asking for cinnamon before turning back to me. "No, you don't do you?" He asked slyly. I was still confused when Sora finished dumping cinnamon on top of my cocoa, before handing it to me saying "Cheers!" "Cheers!" I said back, taking a swig. It was like having winter in a cup; all the tastes, the ice cold of the whipped cream, the spike from the cinnamon, the warm chocolate taste.
Chocolate brown, just like Sora's hair. Sora… was right in front of me. I snapped out of my daydream, hoping to pass off my blush for the rush from the cocoa. "Hurry up and finish, I really wanna show something to you!" I nodded, trying to take my time with my delicious cocoa while Sora chugged his down, before throwing his own cup away and waiting impatiently for me. When I finally finished, Sora grabbed my cup, tossing it into the trash and pulling me along shouting "It's just up ahead, we have to try it!"
I let Sora drag me along, trying to count how many times my friends had done this exact thing in the last few days, before Sora came to a halt saying "Two please." I glanced around, eyes widening in wonder. There was an ice skating rink right in front of us; the pond that the mall usually kept up had been carefully frozen over, and now people were skating around, laughing and playing as they went around and around. Sora dragged me in, before reaching down and pulling off one of his own shoes, then going after mine.
"What are you doing?" I asked jumping back. Sora glared up at me from the ground, saying "I have to get one of your shoes so they'll give us the skates hold still." "I can do it!" I said embarrassedly, trying not to think about where Sora's head was as he tugged at my shoe. "Finally!" He said triumphantly, standing back up with my shoe. "What's up with you?" I shook my head and Sora shrugged, before walking back over to the counted and handing the attendant our shoes. After checking them for size, the attendant handed us skates.
"Um, Sora, I don't know how to skate." I said as I managed to buckle up the awkward skates. Sora waved the comment away. "It's easy, come on I'll help you!" Slowly, Sora managed to guide me to the frozen pond, before helping me up and getting me set up by the rail. The second he let go of me, I slipped and fell, limbs splaying out on the cold ice. Sora laughed, helping himself up and reaching down to help me. "Come on Roxy you can do it!" I shook my head wildly, trying to get off the ice, only managing to slip some more. "I don't think so! Unless I'm holding onto something I'm going to fall."
A strange look came over in Sora's eyes, and he smiled, before taking my hand and helping me to my feet. "Hold onto me. I'll never let you fall." The whole time we skated, or at least tried to skate, he never let me fall or slip, helping me keep my balance. But he had lied. The longer I held his hand, the more I fell, till all I could see, was Sora. It was perfect.
Yeah yeah, cheesy ending, but I like it so hush up! Alright, 2 more days to go plus Christmas day! I think I'm gonna make it! Have a merry Christmas, and may all your Christmas' be white!
