It was now 11:30pm. Sai and Bakura were off…lets just say they locked them selves in a closet…Faith was trying to get Seto to talk to Yami, who was under the mistletoe with Secret. Malik was hitting on Arwen (Shay: AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!) Ishthar and Scarlet were talking, Joey and Tristen were raiding the fridge, Yugi was curled up asleep on the couch, and I was sitting by the window until Ryou walked up to me.
I turned to look at him, "Having fun?" He asked, I nodded. "Yeah, but probably not as much as Sai and Bakura are having." Ryou rolled his eyes, "Don't remind me…"
I laughed, Ryou looked at me. "I haven't heard you laugh for along time." I looked at him, "But I love your laugh."
Okaaay…THAT was kinda freaky…I gave him a nervous smile…"Uh…Thanks." I could tell he was blushing. Aww…He's cute when he blushed…AH! What am I thinking!? Oh crap…I'm falling for him…
I started biting my nails, a habit I've had since I was 6. Ryou looked at me and pulled my hand away from my mouth, "What's wrong?" I gave him a confused look, "What do you mean?"
He laughed, "You only bite your nails when your nervous or bored." Man…He knows more about me then I do…scary. "Nothing." I muttered. I heard a ding and we both looked at the clock on the wall. It was midnight.
Ryou looked at me, "Merry Christmas." I smiled, "Merry Christmas." We looked around to see what everybody was doing. Most everyone had fallen asleep except for Sai and Bakura…but that was just a guess.
"Well…" Ryou said after a while, "Its Christmas, do you want to exchange gifts?" I smiled, "Sure." I walked over to the tree and grabbed the stuff I got for Ryou. I walked back over and handed him the box. He smiled and handed me…the silver box he put in his pocket.
Ryou opened his before I did. "Paint, brushes, paper…Thank You Shay." I looked back up at him, "No prob."
Ryou smiled and looked at the box, "Aren't you going to open yours?" I mentally kicked my self. I was so rude. "Hai."
I tore away the paper. There was a gray box, I opened it. "Oh my God…" There was a heart shaped silver locket on a silver chain. "Open it…" He whispered. I undid the latch. I about cried when I saw what it was.
Inside the locket was a picture of Ryou, Me and his Dad and in the other side there was a picture of my mom and dad…
"Ryou…" I whispered, "W-Where did you get this?"
Ryou rubbed the back of his neck, "I kinda went into your computer and sent it to my E-Mail. Sorry."
I couldn't say anything, instead I flung my arms around Ryou's neck, "That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done!" I could feel Ryou tense up again, I realized what I was doing…Opps.
I jumped back, "Sorry." He looked at me, "Its okay…" We sat there in silence for a few minutes. "…Shay?"
"Hmm?"
"Uh…Can I ask you something?" I looked at Ryou, "Shoot."
He started playing with his hands, "Um…I…"he looked up at me, "I wanted you to know…That…I have feelings for you, and if you don't have the same feelings I'll understand since I am well aware of what my yami did to you." Aww…that was so sweet.
I didn't answer, Ryou looked at the ground, "Yeah…" I looked up, "Ryou?" He looked up. "If your saying you love me…" His cheeks went a reddish color, "…then I think you should know…that I love you too."
Ryou looked up, "Really? You love me?" I nodded, he ran a hand through his hair, "And we haven't even been on a date." I shrugged, "So? We used to live with each other for…" I counted on my fingers, "about two or three years, and we know more about each other than we do about ourselves."
He nodded, "Yeah…I guess your right." I laughed and looked out the window, "Its snowing…" Ryou nodded. I sighed, "Its beautiful, isn't it?"
Ryou looked out the window "Yeah…" Then froze, "Were by the window…right?"
I nodded, "Yeah…" Man, if he did figure that out a while ago, he must be losing his mind. "Shay…look up…"
I looked up: mistletoe. I turned to Ryou, "Ryou!" He laughed, I rolled my eyes. He stooped laughing, and looked at me. "We are under mistletoe…right?" I smirked, then we leaned in, and kissed.

We both fell asleep by the window. I opened my eyes to find I was curled up against Ryou. I blushed and went to get up. Ryou yawned and looked at me, "Good mourning."
I blushed again, "Sorry…" Ryou looked confused, "Sorry? About what?"
I looked at the ground, "A accidentally fell asleep curled up by you." He laughed, "Its alright. I didn't care." He wrapped his arms around me, and pulled my back to his chest. I yawned, ah screw it…I'm staying like this."
I closed my eyes and felt a hand caress my cheek. I opened my eyes to see Ry stroking my hair. I looked up at him and he stopped, "I'm sorry." I laughed, "Its okies…" And rested my head on his shoulder.
We stayed like that for about an hour. Suddenly I heard two voices; "Wow…so he had it in him, amazing…"
"Amazing? Why do you say that?"
"I have my reasons…"
I heard the second voice (obviously Sai's) sigh, "Bakie…I just don't get you sometimes…" Bakura laughed, "You don't sound like your self today, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just tired…" I popped my eye open, "Oh really? And exactly why are you tried?"
Sai jumped a bit, "Shay! I didn't know you were awake…" I stretched, careful not to wake Ryou, and yawned, "I wish I wasn't…" I heard Bakura whistle. I looked at him, "What you whistle bout?"
Bakura looked at me, "What exactly are you two doing curled up in a ball on a window sill?"
I blushed, "I guess we just stayed up really late, no biggie." Bakura cocked an eyebrow, "Oh really?" I blushed deeper. God…Bakura can be so annoying sometimes…
I felt Ryou stir under me (Bakura: o.o Shay: Your sick minded Bakie!) and yawn. I turned around so I was face to face with him, "Good Morning." He said. I smiled, "G' Morning…"
Ryou kissed my forehead, Bakura whistled again. Ryou looked at his yami and blushed. I sent a evil look at Bakura, "You're a jerk, you know that?"
Bakura ran a hand through his hair, "Yes, I do." And walked away. Sai winked and followed. Ryou sat up. "Don't let them make fun of you Ry," He looked at me, "There just…" I started searching my vocabulary for the right word, "…mean." Yeah Shay, that was really intelligent…
I scooted closer to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Ry?" I asked him, "Are you okies?"
Ryou smiled, "Yeah…I'm fine."
I smiled, "Good…"

In two hours everyone had there presents unwrapped and was now drinking cocoa. Hehe…I like chocolate! ^_^ (Shay: Okay, lets just say everyone woke up, kay? ^_^)
Scarlet sighed, "This is so boring," She stood up, "Lets play a game!"
Tristen looked at her, "Like what game?"
Sai stood up, "I know…How about…We split up into two groups and sing?"
Yugi smiled, "Yeah! That would be fun!"
"No, I have a better idea," We looked at Scarlet, "How about we do some dancing?"
Sai and Bakie smirked, "Okay…"
Yugi stood up, "That sounds fun too!"
"So its settled," Scarlet flipped her hair, "I'll get me CD's."
