Winter Magic

Day 6.5: Let it Snow

Krad gave the two a funny look, "And what the hell is that?"

"It's a mistletoe with a strawberry tied to it." Satoshi explained flatly.

"I can see that, but why?"

"I'll let Daisuke explain."

"One of you two have to pick up the other and the person who's picked up has to grab the mistletoe with their mouth. And then you two share the strawberry. Simple enough?"

The two took a step back into the room, "Dai-chan's turned insanely evil…"

"I blame it on your influence."

"How mean…"

"How do we get out without having to go through with the strawberry thing?"

"We could jump out the window."

"And fall into the snow then be found dead a couple days later."

"Or we could just go along with it."

Krad gave him a funny look, "Are you crazy?"

"No, I mean look at it, you don't really have to be off the ground to reach it. And they never said that the picking up part couldn't be a boost."

"Fine but who's getting the strawberry?"

Dark looked at him, "You."

"What!? Why!?"

"Because you're as light as a feather."

"But-"

"Come on Krad, the sooner we get this over with the sooner you can start on dinner."

"What am I? Your slave?"

"Not a slave, but mine, yes."

Daisuke watched the two whispering among themselves, "Are you two ever going to come out of that room?"

"In a sec!"

Satoshi grumbled and waited, finally the two came out, Krad, clearly annoyed looked up at the strawberry. He grumbled to himself, "I swear, there's going to be less food in front of you tonight."

"Aww, Krad-kun, it's only a game."

Dark grinned and held up his hand, "No flash photography please."

Then he boosted the blonde up who grabbed the strawberry, Daisuke pouted, "Not fair! You were supposed to pick him up!"

"Well in a sense I am picking him up, and you never said no boosting so ha!"

"You still have to share it."

Dark smirked, "Sure why not? It's not like it hasn't been done before."

He plucked off the stem and took half of it into his mouth, his mouth lingering longer thanit needed to, Daisuke grinned and took a picture, "You only said flash photography, the flash isn't on."

"When did you change the film?"

"While I was eating."

The violet haired boy swallowed, "You little imp."

"I learn from the best."

Krad grinned at the comment, "Now who can argue with that?" The younger two just laughed, Dark wrapped an arm around the blonde's waist and started nuzzling his neck. The younger two turned red, Krad just looked back, "Yes?"

"Can you make dinner now?"

"Fine, let's go see what there is in the basement."

"Oh wait. Hey Dai-chan can I see your camera for a sec?"

The redhead nodded and handed him the camera, "Why?"

"Look up."

They did, Krad was holding a mistletoe above them, "Consider this revenge."

Dark grinned as he took the pictures, "Just think of how these will look when they're developed."

"I'd rather not see them."

Satoshi smirked, "Yea, since most of them are of you being ravished by Dark."

"Don't remind me."

"Come on Krad, basement! Food! You! Cook! Dinner!"

Krad sighed and let Dark drag him by the sleeve down the stairs, "Fine…"

Satoshi watched them leave, "Krad's a pushover."

"Yup…"

"Daisuke…"

A minute later Dark hopped up the stairs to find the two on the floor kissing, "Dai-chan your camera…"

He grinned and snapped a couple pictures, then snickered and ran back down. Satoshi sat up, "I'm going to kill him…"

Daisuke smiled, "No killing on Christmas."

"Fine then, I'll kill him tomorrow."

"No killing on boxing day."

"Damn it…"

"At least we can say that we'll never forget this Christmas for as long as we live."

"Yea, that part's true enough…"

-----------------

"So what are you gonna make!?"

"No clue, look around and see what you want."

"Chicken!"

"Chicken?"

"Yea! Look! There's a frickin big chicken over there just waiting for the oven!"

Krad looked over, yup, a chicken, pre-stuffed, just waiting for the oven. Which meant less work for him, "Fine, the chicken, what else?"

"…ham!"

The blonde raised a brow, "Ham? What are you a carnivore?"

"No, but there's ham!"

"…can you pick something that's not meat?"

"…steak!"

Krad sighed, "What else…"

------------------

"I wonder what we're going to have for dinner…"

"Who knows? Wanna go check?"

"Sure."

The two headed towards the kitchen, but Dark stopped them, "No entry allowed, staff only."

Satoshi glared at him, "This is my house."

"The manager does not count as a member of the staff at the moment, please try again later."

"But-"

"Nope, you have to wait until Krad's done, go back upstairs and play with the mistletoe or something."

Daisuke pouted, "But I'm hungry!!"

"So am I! And I have to smell the food I'm not allowed to eat…yet…"

"At least you know what we're having."

"Don't worry it's not poisoned, Krad wouldn't do something like that…on Christmas anyways."

"So…what are we having?"

"It's confidential."

Satoshi grumbled, "Fine be that way…"

"I will."

-----------------------

(Tick, tick, tick, tick…a long while later…)

Krad plopped down onto the couch, Dark grinned, "You done?"

"Yea, took long enough."

"Looks like a feast."

"It better be, I'm not cooking anymore today."

Dark laughed, "Don't worry, I think it'll fill everyone up, there might even be leftovers."

"With you around? I doubt it."

The violet eyed boy chuckled, "Hey Dai-chan! Creepy boy! Dinner's served!"

The two can running down, the stopped midway across the kitchen and gawked at the dining table, Daisuke lit up like a light bulb, "Chicken!"

Satoshi was still gawking, "Holy shit, all this was in the basement?"

"There's still plenty left."

Daisuke took a picture of their dinner, Dark looked at him, "Why the hell are you taking pictures of the food?"

"So I can taunt people, I bet we have the biggest Christmas feast in town."

"True…wow Dai-chan, you really have turned evil."

"No…"

"How can you deny it!? You're going to taunt people with the pictures, blackmail Krad, not to mention you set up the strawberry thing which even I didn't think of!"

"…let's eat…"

Dark forgot everything that he was talking about and beamed, staring at the food, "Yea! Let's eat!"

Krad sighed, "Pathetic…"

They were seated around the table, Dark hungrily stared at the food, "Itadakimasu!"

The four happily stuffed themselves until their stomachs were beyond content. Daisuke smiled, "That was really good!"

"Yea!"

Even Satoshi nodded, Daisuke hugged the blonde, "You're my Santa Krad-kun!"

Dark tugged Krad out of the redhead's grasp, "He's mine! Literally!"

The blonde didn't answer, Satoshi raised a brow, "Well…he's not objecting so I'm assuming that Dark's not lying."

"I don't lie!"

"Sure you do, you lied just now."

"Did not!"

"And again!"

Dark pouted and hugged the blonde in an 'I-need-some-comforting-right-now' yet possessive way. Krad sighed, "Come one, let's clean this up."

Daisuke smiled, "Hai!"

"Dark, you stay away."

"But-"

"Are you implying that you want to wash the dishes?"

He whined, "No, but Krad!"

"Yes?"

"Those two!"

Satoshi raised a brow, "What about us two?"

"You two might jump him or something!"

Krad's eyes widened as the mental image of the two tackling him to the floor like football players, "Dark…"

"Yea?"

"Don't make false assumptions and I'd prefer not to be haunted by such ideas."

Daisuke frowned, "What's that supposed to mean!?"

"That means one of you go keep Dark out of the kitchen."

The blue haired boy grinned as he looked at Dark, "He's telling you to back off."

The two headed outside, Krad and Daisuke finished washing the dishes then the blonde grinned, "You mind sharing Satoshi for a second?"

Daisuke looked at him funny, "What does that mean?"

"It means that I feel like getting a little revenge on the two, you got your camera?"

The redhead nodded, "It's on the table."

"Good…"

----------------------

"We're done!"

Dark happily ran back into the kitchen with Satoshi following him, then he skidded to a halt and the blue haired boy bumped into him. He looked up, "Eh!?"

The violet haired boy's grin turned into an "O" as he gawked at what was hanging above the door, a mistletoe. Daisuke was standing in the kitchen with the camera in his hands. And Krad was sitting on a chair smirking, Dark looked at the mistletoe then to Krad, "This-mistletoe! Creepy boy! EWWWWWW!"

Krad just grinned, legs crossed and head resting on his hand giving him a lazy look, "Tis the season to be jolly."

"Jolly yes, creepy boy's not jolly, he's creepy. You expect me to kiss him!?"

"That's how the mistletoe works as far as I'm concern, and you've been known to kiss random people so why the sudden change of heart?"

"Krad!"

"Hm?"

"But he's just so…icky!"

"It's just a little kiss, even Daisuke gave his consent on this."

The redhead gave a little apologetic smile that didn't suit the little evil glint in his eyes. "Yea Dark, it's only a little kiss."

Satoshi stared at the redhead, "You let Krad set this up!?"

Daisuke pouted, "It's just a little kiss Satoshi-kun…"

Krad smirked, "You're going to have to get it over with if you want to enter the kitchen. Did I mention there's dessert here?"

Dark tensed up then he grabbed the blue haired boy and kissed him square on the lips, when they didn't stop Daisuke raised an eye from the camera still snapping a picture once in awhile, "…you can stop now…"

Dark let Satoshi go and grabbed Krad by the hand and pulled him under the mistletoe, "That was nasty! I demand to be de-contaminated!"

Then he kissed Krad, Daisuke just watched them, Satoshi wiped his mouth in disgust, he glared at the redhead, "If I ever go through something like that ever again, there will be killing on Christmas."

Daisuke just smiled, "It couldn't have been that bad. I mean Krad-kun seems to enjoy it."

"I thought you said there was dessert…"

Dark looked over and beamed, "Dessert?"

Krad just looked dazed, Daisuke smiled, "Yea Krad-kun made cookies!"

The violet haired boy yelped excitedly and kissed the blonde again before heading towards the batch of baked goods. Daisuke smiled and looked at the blonde, "You alright?"

"Yea…" Dark stuffed a cookie into his mouth with a delighted smile on his face, it made Krad smile, "…Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas!"

Daisuke beamed, "This has got to be the best Christmas ever!"

"…I wouldn't use the word best…"

The redhead gave it some thought, "How about memorable?"

Satoshi nodded, "That'll do."

Daisuke smiled, "Just to think, there will always be pictures to remind us…"

Krad groaned, "Don't ever bring this up ever again, not anything that happened in this week or the camera."

Dark laughed, "Next year when you look back at them you'll laugh! I'm laughing now! And next year will probably be more messed up than this year's."

"How reassuring."

"Ain't it?"

After dessert the younger two stayed in the living room, lights turned down low, enjoying the fireplace, Daisuke kissed Satoshi lightly, "Merry Christmas and a happy new year."

"You too…"

-------------------

Dark was accompanying Krad in watching the snow covered town, "Hey Dark…"

"Yea?"

"What was that song again?"

"What song?"

"The one you wouldn't stop singing at school."

"Which one, I was singing a couple…"

"The one about snow…"

Dark nodded remembering which song the blonde was talking about, "Yea? What about that song?"

"How did the last few lines go again? It's stuck in my head but I don't know the last few lines…"

The violet haired boy grinned resting his head on Krad's shoulder, "It goes like this," He sand in a low voice. Krad closed his eyes enjoying the song.

"But as long as you still love me so…

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..."
