Okay, haven't updated in a while but I've been sick with a fever. I can only go to school tomorow - POSSIBLY- so... Again, sankyuu to all my reviewers, who are special and each get their own little thingy thing thing. I are of big voc... vocab... amount of words. Go me.
Actually, it's only for the specialest ones, who reviewed more than once. Haha!
Shinigami Tenshi: -gives a cookie and a Duo plushie- Thanks for reviewing! And YES the fire thing DOES work. My sister and I used to do that all the time, it was great.
"Kiki": If that is your real name... You get quotations because you aren't logged in. Thanks for reviewing almost every chapter, every review makes me happyful!
aZn-DiViN3-bLeU: Well, your name was one I needed to copy and paste... Muu. Thanks for the reviews!
Platinum Rei: Thanks for all your multiple reviews. - gives a cookie and a Rei plushie-
'kay, well, again, thanks, and NO, this isn't the final chapter.
And sorry for the shortness. Kinda.
When all the wrapping paper had been either thrown away or thrown into the fire, the boxes stacked in a neat corner to be taken care of later, the second meal Hikaru and Rei had made eaten, and the presents all put away, each of the respective pairs were left to their own devices.
Takao and Max immediately seated themselves on the couch and began playing video games, Kyouju and Hikaru wandered off to play in the snow, and Rei and Kai ended up simply heading to their bedroom.
Walking in through the door, Kai trailing behind him, Rei noticed something on his bed. Though the presents had all been handed out, and there was no one - aside from Kai, but he was Kai,- that hadn't given him one, there was a small and very neatly wrapped present sitting on his bed.
He turned to look to Kai, who simply avoided his gaze. Which, of course, to Rei, gave away that it was, indeed, from Kai.
Rei smiled and wandered over to the bed, lifting the present and setting it on his lap after sitting down. Rei unwrapped it, much more neatly than he had all the others, though in all honesty, this was not for any particular reason. Opening the top of the now fully-unwrapped box, Rei blinked. So that's what Hikaru meant.
Rei blinked again.
Rei stood up to give a kiss to Kai - though at the same time it was to, in a roundabout kind of way, receive a kiss from Kai - not bothering to pick up the box from his lap and letting the small ball of red yarn roll to his side, leaving a trail behind it.
This, of course, was not so much as glanced at for quite a while; Kai and Rei found more interesting things to do then to play with yarn. (However, later on, Rei discovered that it really was quite entertaining.)
Did anyone guess it ahead of time? Well, one chapter left, see you then!
