A/N: About time I got around to doing some Cyberlive; Hylo has been on my radar for a fair while, though never quite knew what plot to use with her. A picture of her in a Christmas outfit, however, served as an inspiring image. Was quite tricky to write though, surprisingly; spent a whole day fiddling just with the opening segment, which sucked up way more time than appreciated.

That aside, enjoy~

Real Present

''Come on, come on, where's my boots~!?''

''They're probably in your room Hylo.''

''I already checked there!''

It was a busy winter evening for one young man in Kyoto; sighing as he wandered through his dimly-lit apartment, the lights of the hallway the only illumination around – though others were hurriedly flicked on and then back off again as a certain pink-haired girl rushed between rooms, searching earnestly for her boots.

Ayane Hylo. Self-proclaimed future ruler of the world... and his best friend since childhood. Both shared the apartment they lived in, given their close relationship, and had decorated it lavishly at Hylo's insistent with various bits of Christmas flair, from tinsel along the ceiling edges to a Christmas tree in the living room. It certainly made their rather small apartment much more cosy-looking, the two of them often spending many hours together just putting everything in place and admiring it for as long as the month would last.

And of course, Hylo being the good Samaritan she was, wanted to give back to the neighbourhood too – what with the surrounding few apartment buildings containing mostly old people who wouldn't get many visitors. Thus she had elected herself to be Santa, going as far as dressing up in a red-white dress with a festive red mantle around her shoulders and a Santa hat resting atop her head. White thigh-highs hugged her legs too but it was the dress that really sold her appearance, from the frills down one side to the little bow at the collar.

Naturally, being her friend, she not-so-subtly roped him into it. Truthfully he had a feeling she just didn't want to walk around the neighbourhood at night, alone, hauling a sack full of presents behind her.

As such the young man wore a more traditional Santa outfit of his own, the red-white themed jacket and pants lined with fur and with a hat atop his head. Meandering over to the door with the sack of presents over his shoulder he stood waiting for Hylo to locate her winter boots, a bit of amusement lining his features as he watched the shorter girl rush from room to room, her words becoming babbling as she panicked a little, knowing many of the old folks went to bed early. It was only five in the evening but with it being the middle of winter the sky was dark and light was becoming nearly non-existent, the dark streets outside illuminated solely by the street lights lining them.

''Found them!'' Hylo suddenly exclaimed from her bedroom, hobbling out of the room as she pulled one boot on. ''C'mon, get the door unlocked, we gotta be quick!''

''Already got it unlocked.'' The young man mirthfully remarked, opening the door a tiny bit. ''So, we going up to the top before going down to the ground floor?''

''You're going to the top. I'm going down. More efficient that way.'' Hylo remarked with a grunt, working on her second boot.

''Great, so I get to climb the stairs?'' He sarcastically remarked.

''Oh come on, it'll be fine~'' Backing her words up Hylo pouted at him, giving him a classic puppy-dog look. ''Please~?''

''Hah, fine...'' He capitulated within seconds. ''Come on, let's get going.''

With a giggle and grin Hylo obliged, tying her laces and taking the offered sack from him, both splitting up to cover more ground.

X-x-X

''Haah~ My ankles hurt now...''

The young man smiled wryly, the winter winds cold against his face as he eased himself back onto the wooden bench behind him, dusting off the snow before sitting. Next to him Hylo did the same thing, tucking her skirt down so her butt didn't press against the frigid wood, a pitiable expression on her face as she nursed her feet.

It had taken several hours even with how much they rushed about, going from one apartment building to the next and clearing it top-to-bottom, leaving a present at each door or, preferably, handing it to the person within – though that was trickier with the older folks since they always wanted them to stay and chat, and Hylo was more than happy to... until he had to remind her they were on a bit of a schedule.

Thankfully they'd succeeded; every present delivered, and leaving them to walk through the small park-like zone between the apartment buildings, pathways intersecting from the exterior streets. The star of the mini-park was the Christmas tree adorned in the middle of it, grand and easily several stories tall. Bright fairy lights adorned the tree alongside a slew of sparkling baubles and tinsel, snow plentiful draped over the branches. It was beautiful, and made for a nice thing to look at from the bench.

Though personally he'd rather be back inside – it was getting late, and cold as a result; the skies above black and with the stars barely visible through the clouds. ''So... that all of them?''

''Huh?'' Hylo looked up at him, his best friend confused for a second – before it clicked. ''Ah, um...''

She hurriedly rummaged around her sack. ''Just one more.''

The young man opened his mouth, about to ask who it was for... when Hylo demurely pulled out a box-shaped present, cheeks growing pink as she held it out to him.

''Merry Christmas.'' The future ruler of the world said, cheeks darkening.

Surprised it took him a few moments to stir out of his stunned state, slowly accepting the present. ''Thanks... I don't have yours on me though, sorry. Should be under our tree.''

''That's fine. I just... wanted to give you something extra.'' She bashfully admitted, hands nervously wringing. ''For being such a good friend. For being my best bud, all these years... even when I'm a bit of a dummy.''

He smiled and hummed, eyeing her. ''Can I also have my real present?''

''Eh? Real-?''

Hylo's words trailed off as he leaned in, lips pressing against hers. It lasted for just a few seconds before he pulled away with a wry smile, watching her frozen expression... before like a kettle reaching the boil her face rapidly heated up, cheeks burning to a crimson hue and swift, stuttering stammers tumbling out of her mouth faster than her tongue could move; any coherency lost in the onslaught of babbling noises vaguely reminiscent of intelligent language.

The young man just chuckled, wrapping an arm around his best friend and leaned back into the park bench, gazing up at the sky as snow languidly fell down. It was light and the wind slow; bitter and chilly, but refreshing. The silence also let him hear Hylo's babbling words gradually wilt, getting tongue-tied and eventually falling silent, blushing so hard he wouldn't be surprised to see steam coming from her ears.

Only to then feel a tug on his coat. He looked back down at his shorter friend, noticing her burning cheeks, but also her demure eyes.

''If...'' She swallowed. ''If you want your present... we'll have to go back to the apartment, first...''

''Oh...'' His own cheeks warmed, and an embarrassed chuckle escaped him. ''You sure?''

''...yeah.'' Quietly she nodded, embarrassed.

With a light hum the young man obliged, arm around her as they both departed the park bench, heading home.

X-x-X

It was just a short five-minute walk back to the apartment, maybe even less, but despite the embarrassment in both of them neither really rushed it.

Soon enough though they reached their door up on the fourth floor, a slide of the key and pull of the handle unlocking their front door and allowing both to wander on inside, flicking the light switch on as they went. Cloth audibly ruffled as both leaned down and took their shoes off, her brown boots sitting next to his thicker black Santa-styled boots, both glancing at each other and quickly looking away. Even when their shoes were off they stood, awkward almost and unsure of what to do, where to take it.

Until soon the young man decided to make a move. Stepping forth he snaked an arm around Hylo's slim waist, pulling his shorter friend close and cupping her cheek, relishing the way it made Hylo blush scarlet, her cheeks aflame but eyes demure. Both knew what was coming and shut their eyes, leaning in slowly, until eventually their lips made contact. Though not technically their first it felt like it was; tempting both of them into it, dragging the soft smooch out and pouring themselves into it, crossing over from being best friends, to something more.

Burning lungs forced them apart, a soft exhale escaping Hylo. ''...let's do it in the bedroom...''

''Mm.'' He murmured back, kissing her quickly on the lips.

He pulled back before they could start a second kiss, taking her hand instead and pulling her towards her room. She didn't protest, red-faced as they meandered into the pink-themed room, though the interior was hard to see in the dark. Neither turned on the light however, perhaps both reasoning it would be less embarrassing when it was harder to see; only the hallway light spilling into the bedroom giving them illumination.

That was enough for Hylo apparently. The moment he sat himself down on the edge of her bed she pushed him down further, earning a startled grunt from the young man – and for a blush to colour his cheeks when Hylo boldly straddled him, knees resting on either side of him. Her own cheeks burned but there was a fire in her eyes, one that dimmed to a more simmering heat as she leaned down, shutting said eyes a second before their lips made contact.

''Mm...'' Hylo's slim shoulders tensed, shivering against him as they kissed – pulling back long enough to speak. ''More...''

Another kiss ensued; lips smooching apart briefly before reconnecting in yet another kiss, both quickly losing count. His hands came to hold her sides but they slid down her slim figure gradually, ghosting over her waist before going further, disappearing under her dress. Hylo let out a cute squeak but, after a moment, initiated another kiss without protest, moaning when he responded by grabbing her small, perky ass, sinking his fingers into her rear and slowly groping her.

The slow, romantic kissing session dragged on, neither wanting to do anything but that. Lust however was a powerful thing, igniting a distinct craving in both of them as they continued. Though both had seen each other as best friends for years upon years, there had been times, moments at least, of attraction. Usually the moment lasted only briefly before they snapped themselves out of it or got over it, but the moments did exist. And all those moments came striking back with the force of a hammer.

Of the time they were at the pool, subtly admiring each other in swimsuits, both aware that the locker-room was empty and they could go in there. Maybe they'd have done something, maybe they'd have kissed, maybe they'd have done nothing at all. Or of the time they went to a party and got drunk and woke up in the same bed in a compromising position, or of the time they nearly lost a dare that would've seen them kiss in front of their friends... a dare they could've both easily lost had either had the guts to go through with the consequences.

''Mm... Hylo...'' The young man groaned at that, palming her ass – just feeling her against him, her lips on his, turning him on.

Hylo broke off the kiss, blushing furiously as she squirmed back. Shifting further back onto the bed the young man watched with reddening cheeks as Hylo grabbed the waistband of his fluffy red pants and pulled them down, his boxers ending up coming down with them – allowing his semi-erect dick to spring out, nearly hitting her in the face. Naturally the horned girl squeaked a little, leaning back with an adorably shocked expression before shaking herself out of it, pouting up at him.

''Not a word.'' She petulantly warned.

He chuckled quietly, earning an even cuter 'Hrnn~' from Hylo. She got over her petulance swiftly however, embarrassment returning as she curled her slender fingers around his cock and held it – gently sliding her hand up. The movement was slow but just knowing that it was Hylo doing it made it so much more erotic in his eyes, a low moan escaping his throat and darkening her cheeks with the sound.

It also gave her the confidence to be more bold. Blushing deeply the future leader of the world dipped her head down low, her breath warm against his cock – before she kissed the tip. Another smooch followed the first just to the side of the tip, her lips soft and every kiss laced with affection, her green eyes demure as they looked up at him, making sure she was doing it right. The way he groaned in bliss told her she very much was, encouraging her to bob her right hand faster, stroking him off as she licked the tip.

''Mn, ah... that feels good...'' The young man breathed out, one hand landing on her head and petting her.

Hylo smiled shyly at that, kissing the tip once more – before in a moment of boldness she parted her lips and slid them over the tip, taking him inside until her lips rested just past the head. Then she sensually sucked back up to the very tip, her tongue lashing up against his cock-head and wetting it with her saliva-coated tongue, the lewd feeling making him shudder and shift beneath her. Thin dribbles of spit ran down the length of his cock and became smeared into his shaft via her stroking fingers, acting like a crude lube and helping her move.

Then she took him in deeper. Grunting a little Hylo opened her mouth wider to fit him in, her tongue pinned flat against the bottom of her mouth as his dick slid over it, soon hitting the back of her throat – causing her to gag and rear her head back a bit. She frowned and went back down on him however, pushing down her gag reflex and giving him head, struggling, until eventually she managed to take all of him into her warm wet mouth, sucking him off from tip to base.

''Mmph, Mm, Mnk, Mmgh...'' Wet gulping sounds escaped Hylo as she gave him head, tempting him to lay a hand on her forehead and brush some hair out of her eyes, careful not to be poked by her small horns.

Leaning up on her elbows a bit Hylo spiced it up, ceasing deep-throating him and opting to just suck the top-half of his cock instead, bobbing her head and passionately sucking him off – allowing her to grab the base with her hand once more and resume jerking him off. The double stimulation felt too good; shivering, shuddering twitches travelling up his body as his best friend sucked him off, her tongue managing to lick and lap at the tip too, all whilst she gave him an adoring, if bashful look.

''Ah... Hylo...'' He shivered, his dick throbbing in her mouth. ''I'm almost... there...''

''Mmph~'' Hylo just made a muffled humming sound, continuing to suck him off.

The young man hissed out a tight breath, eyes screwing shut briefly before he forced them back open again – unable and unwilling to miss Hylo sucking him off. Heat crept up his cock and his shaft burnt with an aching, carnal need, his shaft pulsing with near-soreness as he held back his mounting orgasm just so he could feel her lips slide along his cock longer-

-until she sucked up to the tip, and he exploded in her mouth. Hot ropes of cum hit the roof of her mouth and splattered against her tongue, earning a startled moan from Hylo. Yet she didn't pull her lips off; going still and jerking him off instead, helping him shoot more of his load into her mouth, her tongue licking just under the tip and being rewarded with several thicker spurts too. The amount of cum gradually thinned, growing sparser and shorter, and eventually he eased back into the bed with a shuddering moan.

''Ah...'' The young man twitched as Hylo popped her lips off his cock, smiling wryly as he watched her face scrunch up when she swallowed. ''You didn't have to swallow.''

''Mn... I-I wanted to, though...'' The future ruler of the world confessed, bashful as she crawled closer to him, straddling his waist. ''Just like I... want to do this.''

Grunting he put his elbows beneath himself, sitting up a tiny bit. ''You sure? Can't go back after this.''

''Pfft. Like we're going back after you gave me a kiss and called me your present.'' Hylo dryly remarked, but her expression became more sincere moments later. ''...but I'm sure. Really, really sure.''

The young man merely hummed at that, trusting her and opting to just hold her waist instead – watching as Hylo demurely reached under her dress and pulled her white underwear down her thighs, stepping one leg out of them at a time before tossing them aside. She pulled her skirt up a little, blushing as she showed him her bare sex, her other hand helping guide his still-erect length up to her pussy. It was tricky though and she struggled; the tip pressing against her lower lips but not quite getting it, always just missing a little and sliding past.

Until he helpfully held his cock, allowing her to balance herself better and ease herself down – and with a soft, shaky gasp Hylo impaled herself on him. The feeling was downright heavenly; searing warmth swallowing up the tip of his cock and embracing his shaft, more and more of his cock disappearing between her folds as he entered her. She slowed down when two-thirds of him was inside her, whimpering a little, but stubbornly rocked her waist and pushed herself down until he was all the way inside of her, filling her formerly-virgin pussy to the brim.

''Mn...'' Hurriedly rubbing at her eyes Hylo didn't acknowledge the tiny tears that had spawned there. ''H-How it's feel...?''

''Amazing.'' The young man groaned out, rubbing her bare hips. ''You...?''

''Yeah, fine. Fine. Totally fine.''

''...be honest, Hylo.'' He dryly asked.

At that Hylo blushed, more demure as she admitted the truth. ''Alright it stings a little. Doesn't hurt like I heard it does, but... feels weird. Not in a bad way though.''

The young man merely hummed, rubbing her waist and murmuring for her to take it slow, to which Hylo did with a sigh – a sigh that melted into a soft mewl as she raised her hips up. Her vaginal walls pressed down on his cock snugly as he slowly left her, inch after inch sliding out – before with equal slowness Hylo impaled herself back down onto his cock, letting out a much deeper, more satisfied moan as he went back inside her. Slowly did she repeat the motion, just getting used to the feeling of having something inside her sex.

And whether due to eagerness or just passionate lust Hylo overcame the discomfort quickly, her movements growing a little more spicier as a result. Hips rocked and her walls snugly squeezed his girth between them, the enveloping heat of her insides never failing to tug a moan out of the young man. Leaning forwards Hylo planted her hands onto his chest and bounced more than she did ride, a grin crossing her face as she took control, a slight arch to her back as she took him balls-deep into her.

''Hah... Mn, ah...'' Hylo breathed out. ''F-Feels good huh~?''

A lustful moan answered her – and Hylo squealed as he suddenly rolled them over. In a heartbeat she found herself the one pinned to the bed, her wrists held down to the sheets, but anything she intended to say was silenced as his lips mashed up against hers. In an instant Hylo melted into the kiss and reciprocated, wriggling her hands down until she could grab his hands and interlock their fingers; intimately hand-holding even as he slowly reared his hips back, and then pumped forth between her thighs; doing her missionary.

''Mmph, ah... h-hah...'' Hylo panted as they broke off the kiss. ''Faster... I-I can take it...''

The young man didn't question her. With a low, lustful grunt he picked up the pace, his cock plunging between her walls and bumping up against her innermost parts, earning a cute squeal from the horned girl as he filled her up. It merely preluded the many more thrusts to come however; his pelvis audibly slapping against hers as he made love to her, his bulk pressing her slimmer frame into the sheets, and his lips soon to meet hers in another feverish, love-filled kiss.

Hylo reciprocated wholeheartedly. Moaning into his mouth she wrapped her legs around his waist as best she could, rocking her waist a little to get more friction out of it, her vaginal walls clenching ever tighter around him from the way she flexed her muscles. The bed underneath them squeaked from their movements, the sound mostly ignored in favour of both just kissing more; pushing their lips together in increasingly heated, feverish smooches.

''Ah, Mn...!'' Hylo whimpered against his lips, her slick walls tightening around his cock. ''I'm close...!''

''Me too.'' Murmuring the words into her neck he nuzzled her, grunting against her creamy flesh as he fucked her more passionately; thrusts becoming shorter and jerkier as he sought to get any friction possible.

Hylo buckled beneath him, body tensing and tightening as he sheathed himself within her, their joined parts twitching and quivering with need but both holding on for that little bit longer. She didn't untangle her legs from his waist and he made no move to pull out, both just going as it as hard and fast as they could, surrendering to the overwhelming heat rushing through their bodies all at once, reaching its apex.

''Mn, M-Mm...!'' She held his hand tighter. ''C-Cumm- ah~!''

A cute cry, an arch of her back – and Hylo climaxed beneath him, her walls tightening around his pulsating cock and coaxing out a splattering load of cum that hit her walls and pumped deep into her womb, his ragged thrusts pushing his semen deep into her. Hylo accepted it, gasping and whimpering as she orgasmed with him, mind going white as she felt him unload inside her, any risk or consequence the furthest thing from her mind.

Until with a deep grunt he buried himself inside of head went still, puffing out a low, shuddering groan. Hylo moaned and loosened her hold on his hands, wrapping her arms around him instead holding him down against her, just savouring their shared body heat as they came from from their orgasmic highs. The young man felt the same, shivering as her inner walls squeezed and clenched around his cock erratically, the pleasurable feeling leaving him twitching with bliss inside her.

''Ahh... it's so warm...'' Hylo moaned softly, shivering beneath him. ''I love it...''

She tilted her head slightly, nuzzling him. ''I love you.''

The young man blushed, kissing her on the cheek in response. ''Love you too, Hylo...''

A giggle answered him, a kiss on his cheek leading to a slow, intimate make-out session, the newfound couple rolling over as they stripped themselves of cloth and let their hands wander freely over each other; exploring, touching and pleasing.

The pair would wake up later than usual on Christmas morning, for obvious reasons.
