Christmas Eve (December 24)
All day on Christmas Eve was spent in pretty much secrecy in the castle. Most of it's inhabitant were running around sneakily, trying to get presents for the other people without them knowing. Chris had already once tried to tackle Erutis in the hall as he saw her smuggling a rather large package into her room, only to be stopped when Raenef arrived on the scene moments later and pointed out that Chris was dangerously close to being under 'one of those weird kissing plant things.' That pretty much scared everyone into their rooms.
"Hey," Raenef said, stopping Erutis in the hall as they crossed paths by the library, "have you seen Eclipse today?"
"Can't say that I have," said Erutis, "though I would think that maybe he's behind all those wonderful smells coming from the kitchen."
"Really?" Raenef said. "Okay then, thanks!" He smiled cheerfully. "Hey, what'cha got there?" Raenef pointed at the bundle Erutis was carrying.
"Oh," Erutis looked around suspiciously before continuing, making sure no one was listening in on their conversation. Once satisfied that they were alone, she said, "This is what I got Chris. Look!" She pulled what appeared to be a piece of clothing out ot the bundle. It wasn't just a random piece of clothing, though. By the looks of it, it was a long, billowy tunic that was dyed an outrageous shade of mauve. "That whole priest's outfit Chris always wears is so out of fashion. This will look much better on him. Besides, I think this color will look much more fetching. Don't you agree?" Erutis looked at Raenef eagerly.
"Uh, yeah!" Raenef smiled, more from trying to hide his laughter than from approval of the tunic. "I think he'll really like it, Erutis." Raenef hurried off before she could figure out that he was trying very hard not to laugh.
"Thanks Raenef!" She yelled down the hall after him. "I needed an opinion!"
~~~~~~~
Everyone was draw from their rooms around 7 that evening by a loud trumpet fanfare.
"Do you think dinner is ready?" Chris asked Erutis.
They all descended into the dinning room, which contained a giant table capable of seating 50 people. As it was, it was set for four. Chris and Erutis sat at the spots around the head of the table, and Raenef sat at the head, remembering lesson number 23 from his Demon Lord handbook: "A Demon Lord always takes the place of honor in his own kingdom."
Eclipse came out moments later and sat on Raenef's right.
"I hope you enjoy dinner," he said, more to Raenef than to everyone. "Let us eat." With that, food magically appeared on the table, extending far beyond just where the 4 were sitting. There was every kind of Christmas food imaginable, not to mention decadent looking desserts and delicious apple cider. Everyone ate until they couldn't hold anymore, laughing and conversing the whole time. Finally, everyone agreed that it was time to turn in for the night, since they all wanted to wake up early the next morning.
"Goodnight, everyone!" Raenef said sweetly. He decided that he would wait for about an hour until everyone was asleep, then sneak down to the big Christmas tree and put some last-minute presents underneath. Eclipse was also pondering what to do after dinner, since he wasn't tired in the slightest. He decided to go out and take a walk in the cool, clear night. Erutis and Chris both went up to their rooms and consequently fell asleep soon after.
Later on that night
Eclipse was just coming back from his walk. He wasn't quite sure how late it was, but he was almost positive everyone else was asleep, so he took extra care to be quiet. He stepped through the doorway of the main hall and gasped as he saw a small, dark figure kneeling by one of the huge Christmas trees that Raenef had so lovingly decorated.
"Hello?" Eclipse's voice sounded very loud in the silence of the night.
The figure immediately stood and spun around at the sound of Eclipse's voice, turning in the blue moonlight that filtered through the large front window. Even in the dim light, Eclipse could still recognize the messy blonde hair and large, beautiful eyes.
"Oh, Eclipse." Raenef stepped towards the doorway. "What are you doing up so late?"
'Just wandering around so that I don't fall asleep and have another inappropriate dream about you,' Eclipse thought sarcastically to himself.
"Oh, just decided to go on a walk," he said aloud.
"Well," said Raenef, "I was just trying to sneak out some more last minute presents." He took a few more steps toward Eclipse, then stopped and looked down at the floor.
"Is something bothering you, my Lord?" Eclipse noticed the worried expression on Raenef's face.
"I." Raenef stuttered slightly. "I'm sorry, Eclipse, but I didn't get you anything for Christmas. I. I just didn't know what to get you. I wanted to get something special, but I couldn't find anything and-" Raenef finally got the courage to look back up at his instructor, only to find that Eclipse wasn't even looking at him at all. Eclipse was, in fact, staring fixedly at the ceiling above him. Raenef arched his neck back to look at the ceiling, suddenly remembering about that little plant that Erutis had been hanging around there.sure enough, it was hanging right above him. He looked back down quickly, only to find that Eclipse had moved close to him, less than a foot away.
Eclipse couldn't take it any longer. All he had needed was an excuse, and the mistletoe was a perfect candidate. Seeing Raenef standing there in his pajamas, looking so sweet and sad while trying to apologize to him, had pushed him over the edge.
"There is only one thing that I would want." Eclipse again stepped closer to Raenef, leaving only inches between them. He put one arm around him, gingerly placing his hand on Raenef's back.
"Eclipse." Raenef put his hands on Eclipse's chest and stood on the tips of his toes, resting most of his weight against the older demon. Eclipse leaned down so that his lips were right above that of his Lord's, feeling Raenef's shallow breathing on his face. Though he wanted so badly to feel Raenef's lips pressed against his, he wanted to make sure that this was also what Raenef wanted. If Raenef's heart wasn't in this, it would be worse than if it had never happened at all. Eclipse waited for a sign from Raenef.
"Merry Christmas, Eclipse." Eclipse felt Raenef press his lips against his. To Eclipse, Raenef's lips tasted of cinnamon and Christmas spices. He ran his other hand through Raenef's golden hair and tilted his head back, giving his more access to kiss him. He felt his lips part slightly and Eclipse tentatively stuck his tongue into his mouth, earning a soft moan from Raenef that made the hair stand up on the back of Eclipse's neck. Raenef ventured into Eclipse's mouth as well a few moments later, and he slowly pulled his hands further down Eclipse's chest, his fingers taking in every detail of the demon's pale skin and causing Eclipse to shudder slightly in spite of himself. A chime went off as a clock struck the hour, and they broke off to breathe, the pair looking deeply into each other's eyes. Eclipse registered that the clock had struck 12 times, signaling the coming of the new day.
"Merry Christmas Eclipse," Raenef said again, smiling as he closed his eyes and rested against him.
"Merry Christmas," Eclipse murmured, putting his other hand around Raenef and holding his Lord close to him. Eclipse closed his eyes as well and lowered his head onto Raenef's, a smile playing about his mouth. "Merry Christmas indeed."
~ The End ~
YAY! I finished it! I really didn't think I had it in me. And I apologize for ripping off any ideas, namely the cinnamon thing. I just couldn't help it! ^^;; Well, I sincerely hope you enjoyed it and a Merry Christmas to you all! God Bless and Have a wonderful Christmas. Yay!!
