"Jiney… I don't want to wear this… it's so ugly."

"But you're fatter than me. And we agree that one of us have to be the one."

"I'm not that fat… Look, just let me take off this beard and the tummy all right?" Kiyota said in puppy eyes.

"Nope. You have to look pretty."

[Pretty…? I think I look old. Just like Maki. And this is just so itchy.] Kiyota rolled his eyes and reached his hand into his shirt to scratch his tummy.

"No you don't look old. And don't scratch. You ruin the perfect image." Jin put on his hat and some light colour lipstick on to make it realistic as he looked at Kiyota in the mirror.

[I knew it.] "Do you have to mind read me everytime I speak?" He scratched harder.

"Nope. Our hearst are one remember?" Jin took the small bag of candies and pulled Kiyota's hand out.

"Sou-kun…" [Just let me change into my-]

[Nope. You remain like this. I like your image. You are my pillow and bolster when I sleep.] "Don't take it off until I tell you to. Come on let's go. We're running late."

Kiyota reluctantly took the huge bag of presents and both of them walked out of the makeup room.

"It's still early… it's only three thirty now… and I can't possibly fit into the taxi with my size…"

"Nope. We're walking there."

"NANI!"

"Santa! Santa! I want a big doll to huge just like you!"

"Santa! Santa! I want candies! Lots of candies!"

"Santa! Santa! What's in your bag?"

"Santa! Santa! When will I get my present?"

Shoulders slumped and eyes on the floor, Kiyota walked along the pathway glumly as he pat every child's head that passed by him while Jin was busy smiling and giving out candies.

[Bear with it Nobu-kun. You can do it. My leg's getting numb too but…] Jin who was still giving out candies to children quickened his pace to Rukawa's house.

[But what? It's…] Kiyota lifted his head and glanced at the clock tower in far front of them. [Five thirty already and we still have not reach his house… I think I'm gonna faint… what an idea Sou-kun…]

[I love you and only you Nobu-chan. Bear with it and I will give you a surprise in bed today.] Jin who was still giving out candies, hook one hand onto Kiyota's and pulled him up. [Don't slump.]

[I'm hot… so so hot… Jiney… hold on tight to me I… think I'm… gonna faint… now…] Kiyota suddenly dropped his bag on the floor and leaned onto Jin.

"Nobu-kun! Nobu-kun! Are you alright? Don't faint! Nooo! Nobu-kun! I'm sorry!"

Jin flustered and tripped over the bag of presents that Kiyota have been holding. He shook Kiyota as hard as he could. The children cried and mothers took them away. Some were still shaking Jin for candies while others others took it straight from the bag.

"Some one call a taxi!"
