"Man this two thorns are heavy… my hair's split because of this…"
"Hn."
"Hiro-kun… when will we reach there? I'm so tall that my back hurts from bending and people are staring…"
Both of them looked around the bus they're on. Indeed people are staring. Sendoh's reindeer's costume and Koshino's Santa clause is attracting lots of attention, even from the people by the roadside everytime the bus stops.
"Well, fthen fou'll just hafe fo acf life a reinfeer. And fhose are nnot fthorns, tfey are horns. " [Hehehe! I'm make him a reindeer tonight.]
"Huh… aren't I one now…? Gosh my back hurts… This is the longest bus ride I've ever experienced and I'm so sleepy I don't know why…" Sendoh leaned his head on the pole and closed his eyes.
[It's Christmas and he's still complaining. I'm not going to open my mouth anyway… I sound so weird… oh well…] Koshino shrugged and pressed the bell.

"Kenji… please… don't frown like Rukawa."
"Kenji… please… don't keep quiet like Rukawa."
"…"
On their way to Rukawa's house in Maki's car, Maki and Hanagata was in Christmas mood while Fujima just sat there playing with Hanagata's sleeve, pouting cutely.
"We promise to make one of us bring the presents in a special way. Our only choice is you."
Maki kept quiet as he focuses himself on driving.
"…"
"Come on. It's been hours since you utter a word."
"But why me…? I don't want to be Santa. I want to be a cute little elf."
"Kenji-kun… what is done cannot be undone."
"Hn. You sound as if I've killed somebody…Shin-kun… Toru… I don't want…"
Hanagata kissed Fujima as he took off his beard. "I hope this will make you feel better." Then Hanagata pushed Fujima down onto the rear seat as he kissed him everywhere. Maki just smiled and he kept on driving.
*-=*=-*-=*=-*
"…"
"You look pretty." Rukawa smiled to him as he gave a peck on his cheeks
"…"
Rukawa turned to Hanamichi and pulled the waist string tighter. This made Hanamichi frown. "There, it will make your figure more outstanding."
"…" Hanamichi had to take deep breathes on regular intervals because of the over-tight waist string.
"And your collar, it should be pressed down nicely like this." Rukawa pressed them down like Hanamichi is a pretty little girl who doesn't know how to dress up. "It's not like you're in school and acting cool you know."
"RUKAWA KAEDE!" Hanamichi's face bloated with anger as he frowned at Rukawa and put his arms on the waist.
"What? You are pretty. With the makeup and all… I promise I'll give you a surprise present tonight." Rukawa smiled again.
"DON'T ACT LIKE SENDOH BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AND I AM NOT PRETTY AND I DON'T HAVE A GIRL'S FIGURE AND I DO NOT ACT COOL IN SCHOOL. THE TENSAI IS NATURALLY COOL! YOU GOT THAT RUKAWA? AND YOU ARE TERRIBLY TALKATIVE TODAY THAT I'M GONNA SHUT YOU UP!" Hanamichi exploded as he untied the waist string that is attached to his dress and gave Rukawa a headbutt.
Rukawa fainted with a drool on the side of his mouth as Hanamichi stormed out of the room.
*-=*=-*-=*=-*
Kiyota winced at the loud voice as he started to regain his vision slowly. It has been one hour since he fainted on the street. In front of him he saw someone slim staring at him.
"Nobu-kun… Nobu-kun are you alright? Wake up."
"Uh…" Kiyota blinked his eyes as he stared at the figure in front of him. "Soujiro… Uh… where am I?"
"You're in Rukawa's house. Are you alright? You got me so worried when you fainted on the streets like that."
"I… fainted?" Kiyota winced slightly as he sat up slowly with the help of Jin.
"Yeah. I have to hail a taxi and carry you up here. Rukawa and Hanamichi were not home yet when I reached here. Luckily he gave us his extra key. If not I really don't know what to do."
"Sou-kun…"
"I'm sorry that I made you wear the stuffy Santa outfit." Jin twisted the damp towel in his hands. "You can wear the costume without the beard, wig and the thing which you have to stuff it in your stomach."
"Oh Sou-kun… you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine already." Kiyota hugged Jin as the doorbell rang. "Ah… that's the doorbell. I'll-"
"Don't bother Nobu-chan, let's do some kissing."
*-=*=-*-=*=-*
While Rukawa was still drooling over his beautiful redhead, Hanamichi had already reached the door. As he opened with a little frown, he met with two big frowns.
Fujima and Koshino were glaring daggers at him and behind them were their three lovers. The five of them came into the house as Hanamichi slammed the door shut behind them.
At this time Rukawa had already recovered and followed Kiyota and Jin to the living room. Their eyes went big when they saw the guests.
Hanagata started. "Okay… so there's this reindeer here," he pointed to the long reindeer sleeping on the sofa. "Two elves; Shinichi and Jin." Everybody stared at the two of them.
Hanamichi continued. "Two Mrs. Clause; myself and Hanagata, and four Santa clauses whom are Fujima, Kiyota, Koshino and Kaede. Wow…"
*-=*=-*-=*=-*
Soon, nightfall came and mistletoes were every where in the house, including the toilets and the backyard. Suddenly, the lights went out and the bulbs on the mistletoes glowed.
"What? What happened?"
"The lights…"
"Ooo… look at the ceiling, they're beautiful… right, Hana?" Rukawa said as he held the person next to him close.
"Eh? I'm not Hanamichi. I'm Jin."
"…" [He must be in the bedroom.] Rukawa got up from the seat and move blindly to the bedroom.
Jin hugged the Santa beside him and he hugged Jin back. "Hmm… I love you." His partner answered. "I love you too Shin-kun."
Jin suddenly felt weird as he jerked his arm off Kenji. "Eh? Who are you? You're not Nobu-kun!"
"Shinichi? You're not Shinichi? I'm Fujima. Have you seen Shinichi?"
"In the dark place? Nope. Have you seen my Nobu-kun?"
"In the dark place I don't think so."
And so… the night went on with people kissing wrong people under the mistletoes and people making the wrong people aroused. Daylight came fast as almost everyone had kissed everyone.
*-=*=-*-=*=-*
Hanamichi found Rukawa and Koshino sleeping together in the kitchen. He gave Rukawa a slap and he went off and locked himself in his bedroom, crying.
Jin found Kiyota searching for him in the backyard and they went moaning and groaning in the bathroom.
Kenji found his two lovers, Maki and Hanagata making out in a bedroom without him so he stormed off in his Santa outfit as he drove Maki's car off somewhere.
When Rukawa and Koshino woke up and found themselves with each other, both of them freaked out. Rukawa went off searching for his love when Koshino did the same.
As Rukawa found an extra key to his bedroom, he comforted Hanamichi and explained everything to him as Hanamichi threw all soft things on him.
Koshino found Sendoh sleeping peacefully in another lonely bedroom of Rukawa's as he checked Sendoh's temperature. When he found out that Sendoh has gotten fever, he immediately soaked the half-conscious Sendoh in the water as he admired his figure.
Maki and Hanagata, took a cab to the old haunted house where the three of them made love madly for the first time. There they found their Kenji looking at a statue. The three of them made up pretty quickly for their frequent fights as they made love again, as a whole of three this time.
The Christmas ended fast and all of them looked forward to a new year ahead, for basketball and for love.
