Hello again for the last time. . . I am afraid to say that this is going to
be the last installment in my fanfic! Thank you again so much to all of
you encouraging reviewers and people reading my story! Also, even though I
warned you all last time, there WILL be a remarkably tiny bit of shounen-ai
in here. Nothing too much out of character, but enough to make a few
homophobes cringe. Thank you once again and here we go!!!!!!!!

[ Hallway Outside of Study -where the presents are- ]
Eclipse is leaning against the wall gasping for breath. "I don't think I can take anymore of Master Raenef's cooking. I swear the last batch of sugar cookies had tuna in them. . ."
"~Oh Eclipse~!!!!!!! Come try my fruitcake! I made the recipe myself!"
/NO!/ Eclipse thought desperately, /I MUST get away!/
Eclipse made a mad -but of course dignified- dash down the hall, but to no avail. Raenef took off after him and tackled Eclipse before he could even turn the corner.
"Hee hee! C'mon Eclipse! You know you want to try it!"
Once again Eclipse found himself in a situation that judging by the looks of the fruitcake, was hazardous to his health. His only choice was to try and change the subject. . .
". . . Can you, um, get off of me Master Raenef?"
"Oh right! Sorry Eclipse!" Raenef gasped scrambling off his tutor.
The two sat on the floor trying to decide what to do next.
Suddenly, Raenef looked up and giggled nervously.
"Look Eclipse! It's mistletoe!"
Eclipse stomach, despite all of the tortures it had been put through(Raenef's cooking ^-^), managed to do at least three flips before landing in his throat.
"Yes. . . it appears so Master Raenef."
"Well. . . we can't break tradition can we???" /OMG! Am I actually saying this?! Am I actually going to KISS Eclipse?!?!/
"I suppose not Master Raenef. . ." /. . .maybe this whole Christmas idea isn't such a bad thing. . ./
Raenef closed his eyes and slowly leaned toward Eclipse's face. He then felt the soft and warm lips he had spent so long thinking about press gently against his own. The kiss lasted for a few seconds before he felt tongue pressing against his lips. He opened his eyes in surprise to look right into the face of LEECHE?!?!?!
Raenef immediately pulled his head back in shock while Leeche beamed at him. Raenef looked around for Eclipse and found him blank with horror and loathing behind Leeche. She had evidently pushed him aside in order to kiss Raenef in his place.
"Le-Le-Leeche. . . what are you doing here??????"
"Hee hee! I know I said I was going to wait to become a beautiful lady for you, but I just couldn't stand the thought of you being all alone on Christmas!"
Eclipse got over his shock long enough to think, /What am I?! A piece of scenery?!/ and to jerk Raenef about five more feet away from Leeche.
Eclipse and Raenef: /Well, I guess I can forget about any more mistletoe plans. . ./
"You haven't been accepting any other bride offerings have you Raenef?!?! I still can beat you with or without my dynamite powd-"
"LEECHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU AT THE DEMON LORD'S CASTLE AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"Oops! I guess my dad found out that I wasn't it my room anymore. . . I'll try to come back soon Raenef! Be a good boy and wait for me!" And with that, the most irritating entity in the universe(aka Leeche) left our two still dumbfounded heroes behind before one of them could use her as his new target for death drilling(gee, can you guess who?).
Silence. . .
Both Eclipse and Raenef slowly looked at each other, each one laughing nervously.
Silence. . .
". . . Master Raenef, I think I shall go get dinner started."
"Oh. . . ok Eclipse."
The two both left in opposite directions feeling distinctly uncomfortable and wondering what would have happened if Leeche hadn't of interrupted them. . .(AIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!! *ducks shoes and tomatoes being thrown at her* I'M SORRY! But think about it! There's no way it could happen that perfectly! RIGHT?! ^-^;)
****************************************************************************
[ Dining Room ]
Eclipse & Raenef: *Munch, munch, slurp, munch. . .*
Eclipse suddenly stopped eating and stared down at his plate. Raenef looked up at asked, "What's the matter Eclipse? Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing at all Master Raenef." Eclipse even managed to squeeze out a smile along with his lie. The real answer to Raenef's question was, /The thing is Master Raenef, I don't know what is the matter with me. Whenever I talk, touch, or just look at you I know I am in love with you. That's the problem. It's completely unacceptable to the demon world as we know it. . . but no matter what I do, I cannot change. I wonder if it is destined to be so. . ./(*-* Romantic Eclipse. . .)
****************************************************************************
[ Raenef's Room ]
*sigh* /Well this day didn't turn out to be what I planned. . . not even close. I hope Eclipse wasn't too mad about the whole mistletoe thing. I didn't know if it was too un-demonic to try to kiss your teacher. . . Ack! Who am I kidding? Eclipse was probably cringing the entire time. I just hope he won't be too mad at me. . ./
Raenef's head jerked out of his pillow when he heard a soft knock at the door.
"Come in Eclipse."
Eclipse cautiously opened the door and poked his head inside. When he saw Raenef looking up at him curiously he came in and sat down on the floor beside Raenef's bed.
"Master Raenef. . . I have a question to ask you."
"What is it?"
". . ." /Come on! You are Eclipse! One of the most infamous demons ever to live! You can do this!/ "Well, I was wondering. . ." Eclipse muttered. "if perhaps you would like to come to the library with me. It has the balcony and fireplace and there is something going on outside that I thought you might like. . . but I was not sure if you would be interested of course, but I was just walking by and I thought just in case. . . . ."
After a few moments, Eclipse finally got the courage to look from the floor to Raenef's face. He was pleasantly surprised to see Raenef grinning ear to ear with unmistakable happiness.
"That would be great Eclipse!"
Eclipse allowed himself a very small smile before getting up and opening the door for Raenef.
[ Library ]
Raenef eagerly dashed to the open the French doors that led to the balcony. Eclipse grinned when he heard Raenef's delighted gasp. He grinned even more when he suddenly felt Raenef hugging him tightly.
"Thank you so much Eclipse! I know it takes a lot of energy to do weather magic and the snow outside is so beautiful!"
Eclipse gently hugged Raenef back saying, "If it pleases you my lord, it is more than worth the effort."
Raenef sat down on the edge of the sofa so he could still watch the snow falling while Eclipse went to the mantle and brought back two steaming mugs of cocoa before sitting down next to Raenef.
As Raenef leaned against Eclipse, the last thing he murmured before sleep claimed him was, "Merry Christmas Eclipse. . ."
Eclipse smiled. "Merry Christmas. . . Raenef." And gently kissed his forehead.
And so with the snow falling softly outside and Raenef and Eclipse snuggled together on the couch, this demon lord's Christmas came to a close.
THE END
