It's Christmas time in Shin Makoku! Ever since Yuri introduced the holiday, people from all over the country have celebrated by decorating and exchanging gifts. Although they definitely didn't believe in the whole meaning behind it (since The Great One would have none of that), they still enjoyed the festivities.

The Demon King himself enjoyed it the most. He was currently opening presents in the dinning hall where a huge pine-like tree resided. Everyone, Gwendal, Gunter, Conrad, Yozak, Murata, Cecile, Anissina, Greta, Wolfram, the maids, and even Dorcas, were scattered throughout the room either drinking, chatting, or opening gifts while having a grand time.

A tall blonde woman popped up out of nowhere right in front of Yuri, his unwrapping quickly came to a halt. "Oh, Your Majesty! You're opening that one? Wait just a moment-WOLFIE~ Can you open this present" from behind her back, a brightly colored present made itself visible, "while His Majesty opens that one?"

Wolfram took the gift that was shoved in his face with a questionable expression. He didn't know what his mother could be planning, but he knew it would be rude to not except the gift at all. He shook the box before tearing off the paper. Inside, sat a white teddy bear. Yuri had told him once before that on Earth, there was an animal that was just simply called a 'bear' by itself. It wore a pink dress that resembled a certain blonde's nightgown. After taking a closer look, he noticed that there were green buttons as eyes and it had something flat in the inside of it's nose to create an odd shaped snout.

He turned to Yuri to see why exactly they needed to open the presents at the same time. The double black held a bear that was similar to the blonde's, only this one was dark brown. He wore a blue shirt with three red buttons and had black buttons as eyes. It's snout was rather flat as well.

"Heehee! Do you looove it?" Cecile smiled wide.

"Uh…Etto… Are these what I think these are?" Yuri asked. He seemed quite nervous as he stole glances at his bear, then at Wolfram's. "Are they..?" He just couldn't finish the embarrassing statement.

"Why don't you try and see what happens?" The former queen cooed as her eyes glittered in excitement.

Wolfram sat there, very puzzled as to what the others were talking about. "What is the significance of these, Mother?"

Before the blonde received an answer, Yuri held up his bear not too far away from Wolfram's and they quickly stuck together…. by their snouts. "Thought so." The double black justified his earlier predictions.

"Wha-What? Why are the bears joined at the mouth?" Wolfram wanted to know.

"They're kissing bears! You see?" Cecile pointed to the joined lips, "They have little magnets on their snouts so they can kiss! Jennifer told me about them when I visited Earth and I just had to buy them for you. Of course I made a few modifications… but aren't they adorable?"

Yuri was speechless. He honestly didn't expect this from Cecile and he usually was prepared for any crazy thing she threw at him. Not this time. He didn't know if it was safe to take a peek at Wolfram, but he did anyway. The prince's face turned from confused, to understanding, to embarrassed, to delighted. Not good. Yuri thought as he stared at the joined bears. How many times did he have to tell people that he wasn't gay? And now there were these bears challenging his claim! When would it all end?

"Heh.." Insert classic awkward laugh with a hand scratching the back of his head here. "Thanks… I appreciate the thought you put in for the gift. Clever. I'll bring it right to the room!" He got up, took his brown bear, and began marching out of the room. That's it. Leave the situation and the idea-gaining-blonde to recuperate in the room. Brilliant.

"Oh, I'll go put mine in our room as well." Wolfram cheerfully added as he stood up and started walking besides his king.

Yuri's plan seemed not-so-brilliant now.

When they got to the room, Wolfram held his hand out in front of Yuri. "Can I see your bear for a second?"

"Uh… sure." Yuri handed it over.

"Thanks." The blonde brought the noses together in a little magnet kiss. Separated them. Brought them together. Separate. Together. Separate. Together. Separate. To-

"Why do you keep doing that?" Yuri asked, a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know. I was just thinking." Wolfram said as if it was just a thought that had been spoken out loud itself.

Yuri gulped. "Of what?"

Wolfram seemed as if he was staring right through Yuri's soul with his big emerald eyes when he answered. "Of us."

"And…?"

"Well," Wolfram began, "it's just we've had this… relationship of being fiances but I've noticed you've never taken advantage of it and that you shoot me down when I try to. You don't really see me as that much more important than you do with others because yes, you do put me before yourself, but you do that with everyone! You act like such a cheating wimp all the time and I know that's just your personality, but sometimes I might just want you to just look at me, your fiance, every once in a while to talk and kiss and-" The boy was stopped by soft lips that were being pressed against his. When the short peck of a kiss came to an end, he stared at his partner in shock. "You… you…"

Yuri was flustered. Not only did he just realize what he did, but he also looked like he was trying to figure out a way to make something up to disguise the event as an accident. Seeming to give up on that idea, he stuttered out his explination. "S-so… Let's try a-and take things slow. I'm not even sure if I'm… gay yet." Yuri chuckled nervously.

Wolfram couldn't care how unsure Yuri was at the moment. His hard work had paid off and he now had the boy right where he wanted him after so long. It would only take a matter of weeks, or even days, to get Yuri to admit that he loves Wolfram back. All he needed now was patience.

The prince's mouth collided with the king's. So much for patience. They resembled the forgotten bear plushies that sat on the floor, kissing.
