Note: I am so sorry its taken me forever to update! I hope you like it!

P.S. I wrote a Halloween one-shot that I couldn't decide whether to place on Lovely Tail or by itself since its sorta a crossover, I ended up putting it by itself. If you want to read, its called Trick or Treat :)

P.S.S. I now have a beta! He's been my friend for years and recently joined to help me. Thank you LandartheConqueror :). Its gonna help a lot since I can't find the spell check button on here anymore. I don't know if its because of my phone or not... this chapter specifically isn't beta'd because I wanted to get it out in time for Christmas.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :D


Summery: It's Christmas, and Rin's got a surprise for Ryuji... and everyone else as well. Whether they want to see it or not. ;)

Christmas Surprise:

:Rin! Rin!: Kuro cried out happily, his twin tails twitching, showing exactly how excited the little Cat Sidth was. :Can I climb the tree? Pleaseeee?! It smells so good!:

Rin chuckled as he watched Kuro's antics. Ryuji and he had just finished putting up the last of the decorations a few moments before, and soon after, Kuro had appeared with sparkling eyes.

"What did Kuro say?" Ryuji's voiced brought Rin's attention to the other male. Ryuji stopped next to Rin and threw his arm over the other's shoulder.

"He wants to explore the tree top." Rin chuckles, his eyes meeting Ryuji's who grinned back before leaning in for a tender kiss.

"Should we let him?" Ryuji asked, pulling away from Rin's warmth but still keeping their lips less then an inch away from each other, feeling the warm air that left his beloveds mouth.

"I think we can trust him enough not to destroy the tree. Right, Kuro?" Rin grinned down at the little familiar that had been hopping and meowing excitedly and pleadingly around them.

:Oh, pleaseeeee! I promise I won't do anything to the tree!: Kuro meowed and even Ryuji understood what he said.

Both teens chuckled, with Rin nodding his head. "Go ahead Kuro. Don't be too rough with it."

With a mreowww, Kuro hopped to the tree stump and quickly disappeared into the greenery, lights, and decorations. Every few seconds, a different part of the tree twitched, showing where the Cat Sidthe was located.

"He's so energetic." Ryuji chuckled again, then went to grab a few gifts that he had wrapped while Rin had been in the kitchen. "When are the others going to get here? Have they called?"

"Yeah, they should all be back soon. Yukio and Shima said they were going to make a quick pit stop for some drinks." Rin couldn't help but grin even wider.

"Seriously? Who broke down his walls? I thought he didn't want any alcohol here at all?" Ryuji smirked.

"That's why Shima went with him. Yukio just thinks they're getting soda's, Shima's the one that's getting the alcohol, with a little help from Shura."

"Really? Sweet!"

"What's sweet?" Yukio's voice called from behind them.

Both Rin and Ryuji jumped in surprise, and guilt.

"Oh! Um, just that we're getting together and opening presants... and food, and stuff..." Ryuji trailed off with an awkward laugh.

Yukio raised his famous eyebrow. "Alright... Anyway, Rin, I couldn't find anymore wrapping paper so I got you a few of the bags. They have kittens with Santa hats on their heads. Hope that's alright."

"That's fine! Can you guys help me and take all the plates to the table? I'll be right back!" Rin took the bags and dashed up to the room he shared with his twin.

After almost falling on his face in the hallway, Rin slipped into the room and closed the door behind him, making sure to turn the lock. He didn't want a certain someone to walk in and see his gifts before it was time. Quickly, Rin opened his closet door and searched for a few moments, his heart dropped when he couldn't find them right away. After a few more seconds of tossing everything frantically out of the closet, he spotted the bag... on the self... right above his head...

"Opps..." Rin muttered, feeling extremley happy that Yukio hadn't been there to see his... embarassing behavior... He wouldn't put it past his twin to tease mercilessly about it.

After taking the leather pants out of the shopping bag, Rin made sure that the tags were gone and placed it into the first kitty with a Santa hat bag, then placed some of the fancy red tissue paper on top. He stepped back and frowned. Was that how it was supposed to go? Or was it better to lay the paper flat on the bed, place the pants in the middle and then into the bag?

After a few more tries, Rin got it to look perfect. He then turned to the next problem. It should be easier to do. Hopefully...


"How long is he going to take?" Yukio muttered as he smacked Shima's hand away from the bowl of stir fry.

"Owww." Shima moaned, rubbing the stinging spot. "Why do you have to be so mean, Yukio? I only wanted a taste..."

"Not yet, Shima. You're going to have to wait a little longer." Yukio admonished, his voice stern.

"Sorry you guys! It took me a bit longer then I thought!" Rin hurried into the dinning room, his arms full of presants.

"Hurry up man! I'm starving! And smelling all of this delicious food is not helpinnnngggg." Shima whined, his hand slowly reaching for a piece of bread.

Another smack from Yukio and an owww followed Rin as he placed the presants under the Christmas tree. One of them, he hid in the branches so that he could give it to Ryuji later when they would be alone.

"Is everyone here?" Rin asked as he walked back and sat down next to Ryuji. His eye's scanned around the room while his hand secretly reached for Ryuji's leg underneath the table. At first, Ryuji tensed up, but soon relaxed as Rin sent him a wink. His hand wandered around for a while, Rin loved the feel of Ryuji's leg. It was so firm, and he couldn't help but squeeze it.

"Only Shura's left, but when we ran into her earlier she said to not wait up, she's going to be partying apperantly." Yuiko sighed with a shake of his head.

"Alright, then lets dig in!" Rin grinned, giving Ryuji's leg one last squeeze before bringing his hand back up.

"Finally!" Shima cried, immideatly reaching for the dishes in front of him, putting as much as could onto his plate.

Yukio rolled his eyes but followed suit with a lot more control then Shima could ever hope to manage.

"The food is delicious Rin!" Sheimi praised happily, a spoon in her mouth. Nee sad on her shoulder eating some broccolii and nodding his head in agreement.

"Glad you're enjoying it." Rin smiled over at her before catching Ryuji's eye. The intense stare made Rin blush immediatly.

As soon as Ryuji noticed the blush, he smirked and turned back to the food.

"Shima?" Rin said suddenly remembering something, hoping that everyone would assume he blush was because of something else.

"Hmm?" Shima's attention was on Rin faster then he'd thought.

"Where'd you leave the... punch?" Rin asked seeing Shima grin in understanding.

"It's in the kitchen, I already put it in the punch bowl." Shima said leaving the table for a minute. He came back with the punch and set it near the middle of the table. "Who want's some?"


"I go first!" Shima swiped for the first gift he saw with his name on it, his words a little slurred.

"Shima..." Yukio's stern voice stopped Shima's twitching hand inches for the perfectly wrapped box.

"How about we all open a presant at the same time?" Rin said, holding back a giggle at the look on Shima's face.

"That's not a bad idea." Ryuji agreed as he sat right besides Rin, their knees touching and a cup of special punch in his hand.

"Well... if everyone agrees to that, I don't have a problem with it." Yukio nodded, his gaze flickering of to Shima who had thrown his arms in the air in excitment. "Why are you acting so weird?"

Shima shrugged, hands still in the air and a big grin on his face... which made him look comical.

"Everyone grab a presant!"

The sound of russling could be heard throughout the room. Rin had a presant in his hand but he was watching Ryuji open his. He wanted to see his reaction.

"Leather pants?" Ryuji smirked quietly to Rin who smiled in return.

"I thought they would look good on you." Rin winked at him.

:I can open mine too!: Kuro called out happily from the tree. Only Rin heard him. As he turned towards him, he saw Kuro with the gift he'd hidden in the tree for Ryuji...

"Kuro, wai-" But it was too late.

:What's this?: Kuro asked with a bottle of oil in his mouth... and everyone was staring at it, with everyone knowing exactly what it was for and for whom.

"Why would someone give oil?" Sheimi's voice broke the awkward silence. So no, not everyone knowing but it was close. Everyone sweat dropped at her obliviousness, then ignored her question to stare at Rin and Ryuji again.

Rin couldn't help but blush. Ryuji on the other hand just smirkes, not dropping his gaze for an instant.

Rin took a deep breath, flickered his gaze to Ryuji who nodded his head, then the half demon turned back to the group.

"There's something we need to tell you guys.. " Rin had to clear his throat before starting again. "We..you.. umm.. Ryuji and I..."

"Quit stalling, Rin! You guys, Rin and I are dating. In love. Bumping yummies." Ryuji smirked as that last bit made people sputter.

"Bon! I did not want to imagine that! You could have easily left that out! Besides, we know!" Shima stated after shivering in horror at the memory.

"What?! You know? How? Since when?!" Rin asked more then a little shocked. He'd been thinking that they'd hidden the relationship well from the others.

"I'd rather not remember that, thank you very much." Shima stated and took a huge gulp of the cup in his hand.

Ryuji chuckled, then reached over to Rin, pulling him into his lap and giving him a kiss. Teeth clinked against each other as the kiss deepened. When they finally seperated, Rin was red and breathless. There was also no doubt in his mind that the oil would be used later that night...

"Here we go..." Yukio mutterend but with a smile.

:Rin... if this isn't mine, where is the one I get?: Kuro asked in a sad voice from next to Rin making the teen start in guilt.

"Don't worry Kuro! I have yours right here!"

"Someone get me more punch!"

"You've drank to much already, Shima! You don't what to wake up with a hangerover!"

"Wait, what did you just say?!" Yukio yelled in shock.
