The Gift
(A Christmas Surprise for Aya)
Part 2
December 24, Christmas Eve
"Ow! That hurt."
"Hold still Ken-kun!"
"Yeah Ken, you wiggle around like a worm on a fishing rod."
"Well, excuse me, why don't we exchange places then. Let's see how you guys will feel when someone's poking and prodding you. I really don't see the reason why I should deck myself out as a goddamn Christmas gift." Ken complained, shifting from one foot to another as Omi and Youji pinned him with a ribbon. "Ow, Omi!!!!"
Youji snickered, still winding the ribbon around him. "Because you *are* a goddamn Christmas gift, Kenken. Remember?"
"Oh, just hold still Ken-kun…and do stop complaining, this'll be over in a few minutes." Omi told him, humming "Deck the Halls" in a cheery voice. Ken was wondering if Omi chose the song deliberately…he did feel like a hall being decked out. Gads! Why did he subject himself to such degradation?
/For Aya, Ken./
He sighed. /I wonder if my mother ever knew she had a son that was a patsy…/
"There! All done." Omi told Ken, his eyes glinting in satisfaction as he surveyed his and Youji's handiwork.
"Nice." Youji said, smiling as he too looked at Ken.
Actually, delicious would be a better word. Youji thought, suddenly envying Aya. I never realized Ken would actually look sexy in red. Lucky Aya!
Ken shifted uncomfortably as the two looked at him. He felt stupid and he tugged at his shirt. He had wanted to wear his usual clothes but oh, no! Omi and Youji told him that his clothes wouldn't do for this special occasion. They bought him a whole new outfit for this. A tight, red, velvet sleeveless top and black jeans. And there was a green ribbon tied diagonally over his right shoulder. He felt like a goddamn Christmassy window display…
"You look good in red, Ken-kun." Omi told him.
"Hmph! This had better be worth it, you two…" He wasn't going to thank Omi for the compliment. It might just be another plot for Omi to make him something…
"Oh it will, Ken-kun! It will. Just think about how happy Aya-kun will be once he opens his present."
Ken sighed. Omi was really a master manipulator, a great strategist. Maybe even better than that British General Ken remembered from World History…that Wellington chap or something…he knew just what to say to make Ken shut up…argh! The kid was frustrating.
"Hey, let's review this again shall we?" Youji told Omi and Ken. "Aya is going to show up at around 8 tonight after he visits Aya-chan. And its already 7 so we have to get Ken inside the box in 30 minutes. Omi has to tell Aya that Ken had a date to go to and that we should go on ahead without him. Everything clear so far?"
"Hai! And then at around 9:30 or so we exchange gifts. And when Aya-kun opens his 'present', Ken-kun jumps out with the real presents and shouts "Merry Christmas." Omi told them.
The plans had changed from last week. The original plan called for Ken-kun to be placed inside Aya-kun's room. And Omi had liked that idea a lot…the possibility of Ken-kun and Aya-kun getting together being so tempting…Omi was a romantic at heart and personally, he thought that Ken-kun would be good for Aya-kun. Who cares if they were both boys. But then reality intruded. Omi and Youji didn't know if Ken-kun felt the same way with Aya-kun.
Try as they might to ferret out the information, Ken-kun had managed to evade their questions. And they were still in the dark. To leave Ken-kun in Aya-kun's room and then have Ken-kun reject Aya-kun would be a disaster. And Omi wanted everyone to be happy.
/I guess Aya-kun will just have to be contented with Ken-kun bursting out of the box./
Omi sighed. At least he'd enjoy the surprise on Aya-kun's face when he saw that Ken-kun hadn't gone on a date and was really here…
"Earth to Omi! Hellooo!" Omi was shaken from his thoughts as Youji knocked gently on his head.
"Oi, Youji-kun! I was just thinking."
"Well go think on your own time…we have to give Ken Aya's gifts so that it'll all be in the box when Ken goes in the box too." Youji told Omi, giving his own gift to Ken.
"That's right." Omi told Youji and rummaged through his backpack. "Here Ken-kun." He handed a gaily wrapped gift to Ken. "Incidentally, what did you guys give him? I gave him one of those turtleneck sweaters…not orange though." Omi wrinkled his nose. He definitely didn't want another orange sweater staring at him right in the face whenever they worked at Koneko.
Youji and Ken laughed. "You don't like orange, Omi?" Actually, Youji didn't like Aya's orange sweater too but it was fun to tease Omi because he was the most vocal about it.
"What did you get him Youji-kun?" Omi asked curiously.
"I..." Youji told them proudly. "got him handcuffs."
"Handcuffs?" Ken and Omi blinked at him in surprise.
Then Omi's eyes narrowed and he dragged Youji aside waving to Ken. "Uh…I just remembered I have to tell Youji-kun something. You wait here, Ken-kun!"
They left a blinking Ken behind as Omi dragged Youji to the kitchen.
"Handcuffs, Youji-kun?"
Youji leaned back against the wall and smiled. "Now, now Omi. I just wanted to give Aya some accessories, just in case. "
Omi rolled his eyes and sputtered. "Youji-kun!!"
"You're no fun at all Omi."
"Youji-kun!"
Alright, already!" Youji smirked. "I figured you'd react like that so I bought another gift too. Bought him a book, one of those philosophical books he loves to read. Now is that satisfactory, o great propagator of this Christmas plan?"
That cleared up Omi's face. "That's better, Youji-kun!"
Youji smirked. He didn't tell Omi that the philosophical book would be about Eroticism. What Omi didn't know wouldn't hurt him.
As they both walked back to where they left Ken, Youji whispered: "But I'm still giving him the handcuffs!"
"You're incorrigible, Youji-kun!"
"I know."
***
"Oi, Ken-kun, what did you buy for Aya-kun?" Omi asked Ken, sitting down next to him.
After the handcuffs incident with Youji-kun, he needed to distract Ken-kun from asking why Youji would give Aya handcuffs.
To his surprise, Ken blushed. /Now why would Ken-kun blush, I wonder?/
"Yeah, Ken, what did you buy for Aya?" Youji added cheerfully.
Both of them noticed the long pause between as Ken continued to blush.
"I, er, I bought him a reversed edge sword."
"A reversed edge sword?" Youji repeated after him in confusion.
"Yeah." Ken flushed again. "Its just that I noticed his katana was getting a bit dull so I thought why not buy a sword for him."
"But why reversed edge, Ken-kun?"
Ken bowed his head, a little bit embarrassed. He didn't want to explain since they might think he was too whimsical or something…
"Er, Ken-kun?"
Damn, Omi wouldn't let it go…Ken breathed in a deep breath. /Well, I'd better tell them then./ His heart thumped faster and Ken could feel it through his ribcage.
"I…I just thought that Aya would appreciate it best. A reversed-edge sword would allow him not to kill someone if he chooses not to. And somehow, I feel that he would want that."
Ken braced himself for the laughter that was sure to follow, staring at the floor. He didn't see the look the two exchanged and at Youji's nod, Omi cleared his throat.
"Er, there's some changes in plans. Ken-kun…"
Ken's brows furrowed. "Nani? Are you nuts or something? Its already 7:30, Aya will be here any minute and you want to change plans?"
"Er, just a slight change, Ken-kun." Omi said, elbowing Youji to explain.
"I just figured out that the box is too big to put under the Christmas tree. That's what Omi and I was talking about in the kitchen. Right, Omi?"
That was smooth, Youji! Real smooth! Youji complimented himself. And Omi's grateful glance only puffed Youji up more.
"Yes, that's right. We just thought that maybe the box should be in Aya-kun's room instead. You know how clean his room is. The box would fit perfectly there."
Omi saw Ken's blush worsen and his suspicions were confirmed. /Wai! It looks like Aya-kun might just have a *very* happy Christmas after all./
/The box should definitely be in Aya's room./ Youji thought to himself. If Ken doesn't have even a sliver of feeling for Aya, I'll kiss my ass. And since that's anatomically impossible…Ken bought Aya a damn sword. A damn expensive sword at that…fuck! Maybe Omi's plan might really work after all…
