Here's another chapter. Woo!

*/*/*

It was Christmas eve. Devi sat alone by the pathetic little Christmas tree, numb. She felt like crying, but she wasn't.

"Must...by..stoic.." Devi whispered to herself. She glanced at the present from Nny. It was the only present under that tree. She looked away from it. And finally she couldn't stand it anymore.

She unwrapped the present and pulled out the gift. She gasped, her heart almost stopping for a moment. It was a locket. A gold locket. It was only about three centimeters wide. There was a tiny ornamental knife, the smallest one she's ever seen, set into the front with a tiny little rose vine wrapping around it.

"Oh Johnny," Devi whispered in awe. She hadn't known a homicidal maniac could be capable of giving a gift that was so, well, beautiful. She stuck her nail into the groove running around the locket and opened it. There was a piece of paper folded inside, folded up very very tiny. She unfolded it with some difficulty and read it.

Dear Devi,

Merry Christmas, if you can really say it IS merry. I don't find it that way, but you might.

I've always wanted to die on Christmas eve like my parents.

Devi was surprised at the tears that were in her eyes when she finished.

And suddenly she realized something.

"He's going to kill himself!" Devi gasped, realizing it somehow. She didn't know how she knew, but she did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nny slammed the door to house 777, sick of hearing the voice of Rev. Meat. He could feel the gun in his hand bouncing against his thigh and he walked out into his back yard. He cocked it before he got there.

Standing in the middle of the snowy yard. He lifted the gun to his temple and looked around the yard for the last time. He prepared to fire the gun, his finger on the trigger...

BLAM!

The blam wasn't a gunshot. Someone, or something, slammed into Nny, knocking him into the snow. The gun fired off to the right, and the bullet hit a tree.

Nny thrashed around for a moment as Devi wrestled the gun away from him and threw it off into the night.

"What were you thinking?!" her voice rang out in the silence as she looked down at him, still sitting on him. Nny rolled onto his back and looked up at her. She was still sitting on his chest, panting with the exertion of getting the gun away from him.

"What are you doing here?" Nny asked, looking up at her in surprise.

"Saving your life! How stupid are you, trying to commit suicide?" Devi asked.

"Why would you care?" Nny asked, struggling to get out from under her. She placed her hands on his shoulders and held him still.

"Why the fuck wouldn't I care? Shit, that sounded totally cliché," Devi said, groaning.

"Yeah. It kinda did. Hee hee," Nny said. Devi slapped him gently.

"Don't laugh at me," she said, faking irritation. But she was smiling. "Why were you going to kill yourself?"

"Because I love you, and you can't stand me," Nny said sadly. Devi just stared at him.

"Oh....Johnny...is that what you think? You think I can't stand you?" Devi asked, quite awkwardly.

"Yeah, that's the idea that I had."

"Aw Nny.....it's not that I can't stand you it's just that...well..it's kind of hard to trust somebody when they're...you know...a.."

"A homicidal maniac?"

"Yes. And it also doesn't help that-"

"I tried to kill you?"

"Yeah. So it's not that I don't like you Nny. I..I really do care about you. You have to understand that. But I'm a little bit afraid of you, that's all. But I do like you a lot Johnny. And I...I think I might even love you too."

"Really?"

"Yes. And Nny...I don't want to you try and kill yourself again. Please," Devi said, looking worried.

"I won't, I won't,....er...Devi?"

"Hm?"

"No offense but..could you please get off of me?"

"Oh, sure," Devi said, hopping off of Nny. He sat up, brushing snow off of himself.

"Devi....I can't believe you saved my life," Nny said.

"Oh come here you," Devi said, grabbing Nny by the arm and dragging him over to her and throwing her arms around him.

"Aw Devi," Nny said, hugging her back. Devi kissed his cheek and he quivered slightly.

"Merry Christmas Nny," Devi said softly. Nny hesitated for a moment, and then gave her a kiss too.

"Yeah, it is," he said.
