NORTHERN STAR



Two days passed and Yoji still did not wake up. Aya wanted to take him home. Home to where Christmas was, one of Yoji Kudou's favorite seasons of the year. The doctor said that it was okay to take the sleeping man home just as long as he stayed in bed and return a week after he wakes up to the hospital to remove stitches.

Aya now watched as Yoji slept peacefully under the bed covers, shirtless and only wearing his pajama bottoms. How angelic he looked like under the moonlight. At the stroke of midnight, it would be Christmas. Aya prayed and hoped to whatever deity was listening to him that Yoji would wake up. He loved the older man to bits that it hurt him badly just to see the smirking, and carefree Yoji just lying still and lifeless.

"Yoji." He whispered and closed his eyes. "My Yoji. Please wake up soon."

His wishes were ignored. Midnight came and still Yoji was asleep. Omi and Ken were downstairs caroling with a few street children and offering them hot chocolate. Aya refused to leave Yoji's side, and stayed with him through out.

"Merry Christmas Yoji." He placed a soft kiss on the elder's man lips, tears running down his cheeks and hitting the older mans pale one. Aya left the room silently and headed for his own, hiding himself under the covers and closing his eyes to a lulling sleep.

The next morning was not really exciting. Ken had prepared a pile of vanilla waffles with chocolate syrup. He placed the tray in the middle of the table and sat down, joining Aya and Omi who were a bit too silent.

"Chill Aya." Ken cheered up. "Who knows, he might wake up tonight."

Aya simply remained quiet, eating his waffles in plain and utter silence. Omi was equally worried, but he too tried to be happy.

A moan was heard in the doorway. Everyone looked up and found someone standing there. "Geez! You people never really leave anything for me don't you?"

"Yoji!" Ken and Omi chorused. Aya was up from his chair helping Yoji on to a chair himself.

"My, my! Someone is being very nice today." Yoji said sarcastically, throwing a glare at Aya. "Merry Christmas everyone!" He smiled.

Aya could not help but feel hurt stab him in all directions. He was glad that Yoji was awake, but he was hurt that he was still angry with their little argument three nights ago. Aya finished his breakfast last.

Ken and Omi saw the hurt in his eyes and decided not to comment about it.
