Note- eep! Sorry it took so long! But I made the chapter a bit longer to
compensate ^_~
~*~*~*~*~*~
As Ken got ready for bed Omi came rushing in practically taking the door off. "Tell me all about it Ken-kun!!" He sat and bounced on the bed.
Ken laughed and told him everything.
~*~*~*~
The next morning Omi ran into Yohji's room and jumped on him. "Yoooooo~ooohji!"
"Naaaaah. What?" A very bleary eyed Yohji asked.
"It's Christmas Eve!" Omi bounced on his knees, shaking the whole bed.
"That's nice Chibi, now let me go back to sleep." Yohji rolled over.
"No! Get up." He smiled. "Aya-kun said everyone has to help in the shop today."
"What!?!" Yohji sat up quickly.
"Oh just get up. We'll probably run out of stock and close early anyway." Omi slapped his leg. "So get up Pooky Buu~ut!" Omi snickered as he jumped off the bed and quickly headed towards the door.
"Pooky butt huh?" Yohji arched an eyebrow.
Omi giggled and ran out the door.
~*~
Yohji came downstairs to the wonderful smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. ~Well at least I get some compensation for getting up early.~ He sauntered into the kitchen and slouched in a chair.
Omi quickly bounced up with a mug of coffee for him. "Thanks Chibi." He set the coffee down and snagged Omi's arm at the same time. Pulling the shorter blond to his side he gave him a quick kiss.
Omi beamed. "What was that for?"
"For making breakfast. And for being cute." He winked.
Omi blushed a little and walked to the stove to fix Yohji a plate.
"Omi."
"Yes Aya-kun?" Omi turned to see Aya scowling at Yohji across the table.
"Make him get his own breakfast. You don't have to do everything for him." Yohji sneered at violet eyes when Omi wasn't looking.
"I don't mind Aya-kun. Besides Yohji is /not/ a morning person. We wouldn't want him to trip and spill the food on the floor now would we?"
Yohji almost snorted coffee through his nose as Aya snickered. "O-oi! I'm not clumsy!"
Omi turned chibi eyes to him. "I never said you were." He beamed and set a plate of food in front of his tall koi. "You're just not a morning person." He danced away from Yohji's swat.
Just then Ken came down the stairs looking rather rumpled. "Good morning Ken-kun!" An irritatingly genki voice called out. Ken grunted and sat at the table.
Omi smiled and handed him a cup of coffee. "Why so tired Ken?!" Yohji slapped him on the back. "Did a certain someone keep you up late last night?" Ken choked on his coffee.
"Yes as a matter of fact someone did." Ken grinned as Yohji almost choked in his own drink. "And that someone is way too genki this morning after keeping me up talking." The brunette mock glared at Omi.
"Aww Ken-kun! Are you getting oo~old like Yohji? Can't stay up and talk a little?" Omi made sure to stay far away from the table.
"O-oi! I'm NOT old!" Yohji stood up to start chasing his mischievous koi, but Aya interrupted them.
"Finish your breakfast, we need to open the shop." The red head set his plates in the sink and headed towards the shop.
Ken stuck his tongue out at Yohji and quickly ate his food.
~*~
The second they opened the doors they were surrounded by frantic last minute shoppers. They all mentally pulled up their sleeves and prepared for a long day.
~*~*~
Around noon Omi flipped the sign to closed. He locked the door and turning, slumped against it.
Ken leaned against a counter bleary eyed. "Wow."
Yohji sat heavily on a stool. "I second that." He pulled out his cigarettes.
"Not in the shop." Aya glowered, but didn't have the voice left to yell.
"Well thank god we ran out of flowers!" Omi said as he sat next to Yohji.
"No kidding." Ken could barely lift his head up.
"So who wants to help me with lunch?" Omi gave a wry grin.
"We'll all help Omi." Aya glared at everyone to make sure there was no arguing.
~*~
After lunch Aya disappeared and Yohji laid down on the sofa to watch TV.
"Ne Omi?" Ken shuffled his feet.
Omi raised an eyebrow. "Hai Ken-kun?"
"Uhm." The brunette cleared his throat. "Would you want to do some shopping with me?" Ken shuffled his feet again, embarrassed that he wasn't done shopping.
Omi beamed. "Sure Ken-kun! Let me get my jacket." Omi bounded out to fetch it.
Ken smiled. Omi was so kind to brave last minute shopping with him.
~*~
Sometime after they left Yohji woke up from his impromptu nap on the couch. Stumbling around downstairs he looked for another human being. Not finding one he went up stairs. He found only Aya quietly reading in his room.
"Where'd the chibies go?" He asked as he leaned in the doorway.
Aya quirked an eyebrow. "I don't think Ken would appreciate being called a 'chibi'."
Yohji shrugged. "So, where are they?"
"I think they went shopping."
Both of Yohji's eyebrows shot up. "Really?"
He shrugged again.
Yohji thought on that for a while. "I think we should do something nice for them tonight."
Aya set his book down. "Like what?"
"How about a nice take out dinner and a movie?"
Aya smiled.
~*~
When Ken and Omi returned the brunette ran up the stairs with a few bags clutched in his hands.
Omi called out and Yohji replied from the living room. The shorter blond walked in to find Yohji and Aya waiting for them with food all prepared and set out on a low table in front of the TV.
Omi beamed. "Oi Ken! Come to the living room."
Chocolate eyes quickly came and peered around the doorway. "Ooh food! I'm starving!"
Yohji and Aya chuckled as their koi's came in and looked over the food.
"Now you two get to pick what movie we're going to watch while we eat."
They quickly put the movie in and sat down to enjoy the food and good company of friends.
~*~
After the first movie everyone helped to clean up. They quickly put everything away and settled down with another movie.
Yohji and Omi cuddled on the longer couch while Aya and Ken snuggled up on the shorter one.
Omi looked around the room and sighed in deep contentment. He felt like everything was just right with the world, even if it was only for one night.
~*~
It was almost midnight when they all made their way to bed. Omi glomped Aya and Ken and wished them a merry Christmas. He gave Yohji a sweet kiss and winked as he walked into his room.
~*~*~
Yohji was almost asleep when he heard his door creak open. Turning a bleary eye he saw his chibi creep in the room. He tried very hard not to laugh. "O- omi?"
The shorter blond jumped and laughed nervously. "I-I didn't wake you did I?"
"No. What do you want?"
Omi fidgeted. "I-I can't sleep."
Yohji smirked and raised his covers. Omi beamed and quickly crawled in. He snuggled up to Yohji's side and grinned happily.
"So why can't my Chibi sleep?"
Omi blushed. "I-was-too-excited-about-tomorrow." He mumbled and looked away.
Yohji laughed and hugged him tightly. He whispered 'kawaii' in his ear and set about trying to go back to sleep.
Not two minutes later Yohji's door creaked open again. Quirking an eyebrow he looked over Omi's head to see Ken outlined in the doorway. The brunette fidgeted and cleared his throat.
"I-I was looking for Omi but he's not in his room." He fidgeted again.
Omi rolled over and looked at Ken. He pushed Yohji all the way back to the wall and lifted the covers in front of him.
Yohji smiled bemusedly as Ken slunk forward and climbed into the bed with them. He faced Omi and smiled his thanks.
Omi grinned. "Couldn't sleep either?"
Ken snickered. "Nope."
Yohji pulled Omi against him to give Ken some room on the edge of the bed. "Now go to sleep both of you before Aya comes in here too!"
The two younger boys snickered and whispered quietly as they settled in. Yohji rolled his eyes and fell asleep with his arm around Omi's waist.
