Weiss Kreuz fanfic
Usual disclaimers apply. Not mine, if they were I would be a lot better off…
Warnings: who knows, I have no idea where this will go or even what I'm doing, but it's safe to say there will be shounen ai, probably yaoi, possible lemons, angst, dirty language, maybe violence. I CAN promise no character death, that's it.
Day 30: Christmas, Christmas time is here… (or… gimme the loot!)
Yeah! Christmas is finally here… or rather it was. Not surprising (since I was awake most of the night anyways) I was up early. Or as Schu put rather testily, 'up at the butt-crack of dawn'. Me? ^__^ So I was up early and went in to light the tree, start the coffee, ogle the presents… you know, usual kid stuff. Schu is complaining, rather loudly, in my head; guess my enthusiasm woke him up. Farf joined me in the kitchen fairly soon afterwards, he says early mornings hurt God. Huh? I guess cause they annoy people and it leaves plenty of time for sinning. I don't know.
Brad's an early riser anyways, 6:30 is sleeping in for him, and so he was the next to join our little party waiting for the coffee machine. When it was done I poured three cups and left the rest to stay warm for Schu, and carried them to the table. Farf had already set out the various additives to make the bitter brew drinkable. Black coffee drinker I am NOT. Cream and sugar and preferably something to flavor it. Schu makes fun of me… asks me if I want coffee with my cream. Screw him… he drinks it the same way, well, maybe not quite so much cream, Brad's the only one who likes it black. Even Farf puts something in… usually sugar… says sweet things encourage gluttony… which of course is a sin.
So I sit down and doctor my brew… Brad's glaring at me behind his glasses. He doesn't approve of me drinking coffee, says it will stunt my growth. My growth was stunted looooong before now, thank you very much. Besides… I didn't want to wait for hot chocolate, the coffee was ready and my hands were cold. Now the boring part of the morning… waiting for Schu to rise. Makes him sound like he's undead or something. I swear, he lurks in bed simply to annoy me… while he whines and moans in our heads… But Brad finally reached his breaking point. He turned and yelled for Schu to 'get his German ass out of bed or he (Brad) would come in and do it for him'. Brad getting you out of bed is the least desirable method of getting up so Schu, very reluctantly, pried his decrepit, aging body out of the warm and comfy confines of his bed and stumbled down the hall. I of course enjoyed every second of it… was almost a Christmas gift in and of itself.
Ok… so everyone's up… now I get to open my stocking. Schu and Farf fill it every year so I never quite know what I'm going to get. There's the usual candy, to which Brad frowns, and miscellaneous small items that the two guys picked up. Nothing too remarkable this year. I thought Brad was gonna pop a blood vessel last year when Schu had wrapped a dildo as a joke. The look on our leaders face was hilarious… the redhead almost ended up flying out the window. He must have decided to play it safe this year.
Once my stocking is done we get to do presents. Brad tried the first year to make us eat breakfast first… that didn't go over well. I think Farf and Schu complained more than I ever did. I separate out the gifts and we all dove in… well three of us dove in, Brad very meticulously (anally according to Schu ^_~) unwraps each one, folding the paper carefully… We don't have that kind of patience.
Brad, as always, gives the most practical gifts. This year, it was the software upgrades I've been begging for. Finally! Farf… you never know what he's gonna pick. One year it was a rock he had carefully cleaned and wrapped. When I asked him why… he said it was pretty. I still have the rock. Schu must have taken him shopping cause this year I got several of the anime DVD's I'd asked for. Now Schu's gifts are just as unpredictable as Farf's. I'm almost afraid to open it when he's smirking like that. I couldn't believe it when I found a gift certificate for a weekend at an exclusive resort. He grinned wider and winked, then spoke in my head. /Check the number of guests, chibi…/ I looked again, two. /It's for you and your kitten, have fun./
I can't believe it. I get to go spend a weekend, alone, with my boyfriend at a resort. I guess dreams do come true. But the best was after we were done. I went around picking up the discarded paper and as I looked around one last time, I noticed the other three watching me and grinning. Now Schu grinning isn't unusual. Farf grinning is a little scarier but not unheard of. But Brad grinning is downright freaky. "I believe you have one more gift, Nagi." He said and handed me a gift envelope. I have to admit; I was a little unnerved by all this.
Inside was a letter saying that I was enrolled in an online college course. My confusion must have shown on my face cause Brad explained. "You've been asking for something for a while. In light of the events these last few months I've decided to honor your request." I really wasn't positive where he was going with this, but a little ray of hope started to appear. "I've decided that you can be taught equally as well at home as in that school."
"You mean…" I asked.
"You don't have to return there after the New Year."
This has got to be ONE of the greatest days of my life. Except for that wonderful date I had with Omi… But I don't have to go back there! No more annoying classmates, no more Yuuto, no more Psycho-Bitch-from-Hell! No more traveling half way across the city twice a day. No more being up till 3am on a mission and having to get up at 6.
For once… I really like Christmas. -Nagi
