Note- so so sorry this took so long! Between personal stuff, not feeling well, and ffnet being down- it seems the fates were against me ;-; But here is the next chapter! Hopefully there will be more soon! ^^;

Warning: genki Omi... like you didn't know that ^_~

~*~*~*~*~*~

~The days are passing far too quickly.~ Yohji thought as he brushed his wet hair. ~And it's all been at work too.~ He wrinkled his nose up. They all had been working hard to keep the store stocked during the Christmas rush. ~Oh well, Christmas will be here soon.~ Yohji smiled at his reflection. He couldn't wait to spend some nice, relaxing time with his Chibi.

Walking down the hallway he spied Omi and Aya head to head, whispering. Intrigued he slunk up quietly, trying to eavesdrop.

Aya quickly spotted him and stopped talking immediately. Omi looked around and gave him a tentative smile. The red head glared and walked into his room, closing the door behind him.

"Hey Omi, what's going on?" Yohji arched a golden brow.

"Oh nothing. Are you ready for the afternoon shift?" Omi hedged as he tried to make it to his own room.

"Yes I am." Yohji grabbed the shorter boy. "Now where do you think you're going?"

"Hehe! Yooo~hji! Let me go, I have to get ready for work." Omi giggled as Yohji tickled him.

"Oh no you don't! You're scheming again aren't you?"

"Hehehe! No! Hehe- stop that!" Omi wriggled around.

"Never!" Yohji crowed as he picked up the little blond. He carried him into his room and set him down on the bed, only to start tickling again.

Omi finally wriggled away and sat panting at the top of his bed.

"Now are you going to tell me?" Yohji looked him in the eye.

"I-promised-Aya-I-wouldn't." He whispered.

"Aww you can tell me Chibi." Yohji tried to look innocent.

Omi fell over laughing. "Don't do that!"

Yohji pouted. "How come that never works?"

"Because no one would /ever/ believe you were innocent Yotan!" He fell over again, attacked by the giggles.

Yohji smirked then pulled Omi into his lap. He held him tight until he stopped laughing. Wiping his eyes Omi tried to stand up. But he couldn't budge from Yohji's lap. He wriggled and squirmed, but couldn't get anywhere.

"Ne, Yohji?"

"Yes?"

"Please put me down?" Omi tried to use his kawaii smile, but he couldn't lean back to see Yohji's face.

"No."

"B-but why?!" Omi pouted.

Yohji smirked into his hair. "Not until you tell me what you and Aya were talking about."

Omi pouted for a few more minutes, but then gave up. "Oh fine."

Yohji immediately loosed his grip. Omi turned around and whispered into his ear. Yohji looked at him and grinned. "That's great Chibi."

"Yea." Omi beamed. "Actually I could use some recommendations for dinner though." Aqua eyes looked up hopefully.

"Leave it all to me Chibi." Yohji smirked and wiggled his eyebrows.

Omi giggled and hit him playfully. "Mou, come on! We're going to be late for work now!"

~*~

Omi walked into the shop tying his apron.

"Oi Omi! Are Yohji's bad habits rubbing off on you?" Ken winked at him.

"No just Yohji himself." Omi grinned wickedly.

Ken blinked and thought about that for a moment. "Oooh! Bad Omi!" He shook his finger.

The short blond laughed as he scurried away from Ken and towards the watering cans.

"Kenken! Why are you scolding my Chibi?!" Yohji grabbed him around the neck and gave him a noogie.

"Ow! Ow! Stop it!!" Ken poked Yohji in the side and then escaped when he flinched.

"Leave my Chibi alone!" He called after the retreating brunette.

"Hehe. Yohji we were just having fun." Omi winked as he watered the plants.

"I know Chibi. But you know I love to give Kenken a bad time." Yohji winked back as he walked over to check the cooler stock.

~*~

When Ken had come back to the shop, Yohji disappeared through the back door.

Had anyone been able to see him they may have been suspicious. He was whispering into his cell phone rapidly and gesturing with his hands.

With a satisfied smirk he turned off the phone and walked back into the shop. As he passed Omi he whispered, "Dinner is all set Chibi."

Omi squeaked happily and bounced.

~*~

The second Aya walked into the shop Omi ran over to him. Standing on tip toe the blond whispered to Aya. Violet eyes looked skeptical for a minute, but then he nodded and walked away.

Omi beamed with happiness. Everything was set and ready to go. Only four more days until Christmas.

~*~*~*~

That night Yohji and Omi were cuddled up on the couch watching TV.

"Yohji don't forget you have to help me open tomorrow."

The tall blond sputtered. "What?! You mean all day..?"

Omi gave him a stern look. "Yes. And I expect you to be nice too."

Green eyes frowned, but softened as they gazed into stern aqua. "Oh alright. But only for you!" He hugged his little koi.

Omi beamed. "Good. I'm so excited!" He bounced a little.

"Why are you excited? We're going to be stuck here all day." Yohji tried to pout some more.

"Oh stop that." Omi smacked him lightly. "And I can be excited for my friends. So there." He stuck his tongue out.

"Ooh, don't do that unless you're going to use it." Yohji wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Omi giggled. "Hmm I'll give you a kiss if you can catch me!" He was already running out the door.
