Chapter 5:
Christmas Dinner
(Normal POV)
Ren and Pirika came home just in time for the Christmas Dinner Tamao single-handedly made. Just like anything else Tamao makes, the dinner could only be described as heavenly.
After dinner, everyone took turns to place his or her presents under the Christmas tree Anna spent the afternoon to decorate. Her time was wasted though because when it was Horo's turn, Ren 'accidentally' stuck his foot out, causing Horo to trip and fall on the tree. Unfortunately for him, Anna saw that coming and hid a variety of sharp objects in the tree. As for Ren's punishment (Anna knows all), he was thrown into the tree, then forced to fix it with Horo.
After the Christmas tree incidence, they gathered around the living room to play all sorts of games. Of course, throughout the games, Tamao had her eyes on Yoh. But from now and then, she caught herself laughing at Horo and his weirdness. Soon it was 10 and Anna sent everyone to bed.
Tamao tossed and turned but nothing worked. She stared at the ceiling, wondering why sleep refused to come. By 11 o'clock, the thought of drinking warm milk came to her mind and she headed towards the kitchen. On her way down the stairs, she heard voices in the backyard.
Her curiosity took over as she quietly stuck her head out the door. Outside, on the swing-bench (is that what they're called?), was Anna, with her head on Yoh's shoulder. Yoh had his arms around her. They were talking, but Tamao's senses all failed to serve her. All she can see is a heartbreaking scene. Before she knew it, tears were trickling down her cheeks. To stop them from hearing her sob, she ran back to her room.
When the door slammed, a lump on the bed moved. Tamao gasped. In all this confusion, she had mistaken Horo's room for hers. (Their rooms are next to each other) But before she can turn around to leave, she broke down at the door.
(Horo's POV)
I had just drifted to sleep when my door slammed. That's funny, I didn't leave my window open. (b'c, if u leave the window open, the wind closes the door..anyway) Before he can get up, he heard sobbing coming from the door, and it sounded awfully like the shy pink haired girl. "Tamao?" I whispered to the sound, but the sobbing continued without stop. I turned on the lamp by my bedside and light flowed in, revealing the girl at my door.
"Tamao," I said, rubbing my eyes, "What happened? Did you have a bad dream? What's wrong?" Her only reply was to keep crying. I got up and sat down next to her when suddenly, she leaned forward and hugged me, crying on my shoulder. I jumped slightly, but then hugged her back. "Tammy, what's wrong?" I asked soothingly, patting her back.
(Normal POV)
The pinked haired girl let herself fall deeper into Horo's embrace. Feeling his arms around her, she felt herself calm down and stopped shivering.
"Can you tell me what's wrong now?" Horo said calmly, still hugging her.
Tamao nodded weakly and felt Horo loosen his embrace. Now they were sitting on the rug, facing each other.
"Yoh," she started saying but hiccups stopped her from talking fluently. But she started again, knowing getting it off her chest will help, "Yoh…-hic-…and Anna –hic- are…-hic hic- in the –hic- backyard…" She trailed off, feeling tears gather at the corner of her eyes.
A confused look dawned on Horo's face but he urged her to continue. "What about them?"
Tamao held back the tears and said, "They were –hic- …hug –hic- hugging in the back -hic- backyard." Thinking she finished, she allowed the tears to flow freely down her pale cheeks.
That was all Horo had to hear. So she likes Yoh… He once again pulled her into an embrace and started rocking back and forth, as if lulling her to sleep. "Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine," he said in a soothing voice. But when he looked down at the crying girl, her eyelids were closed and rhythmic breaths escaped her mouth.
Smiling, Horo lifted the prophetess and placed her on his bed. He slowly lifted the blankets so they cover her quivering body. He sat down on the chair next to the bed and stared at the angel in his bed.
She deserves so much better than someone who already likes someone else. He looked into his closet and saw the gift he got her. It's decided then, he thought, I'll tell her how I feel, tomorrow. He brushed Tamao's pink bangs out of the way and laid his head next to hers while remaining on the chair.
Tomorrow…was all he thought about before he drifted off to sleep.
Okay…it was suppose to be romantic-like…as you can see, I'm not good at stuff like that…so please review and let me know what you thought! Btw, sorry for the shortness...i just can't think of how to make it longer!
