Forever
Christmas
"ITS CHRISTMAS DAY! GET UP!" Tyson screamed from down the hall. Kai buried his head further under the sheets. Rei however sat up, taking the warmth with him. Kai slid his arms round his lover's waist, pulling the sheets back. Just to have a blast of cold air, then freezing water great him. He shook his head, growling slightly the looked at the offender.
"Are you going to be mad forever? It wasn't me who came up with that bright idea, it was HIM!" Kai pointed at Rei. Tala put the bucket down.
"I don't care, I promised I would get you back, and I am." He returned. Kai, reluctantly, stepped to his own two feet, and grabbed a jacket from the slide. Rei got up, watching as the two best friends left, arguing in Russian…loudly.
"How did I put up with them as a child?" Gwen asked herself, Rei laughed, grabbing his own shirt and led the way to the living room, talking with Gwen. When they reached the living room, Tyson was trying to persuade Kai into opening presents now, instead of when the others got here, then the doorbell rang. Rei opened the door, greeting a hyperactive Max and Mystel, a bored looking Ozuma, a slightly frustrated looking Hillary, a cheery Ruia and Miriam, and a yawning Zeo.
"You're all up early," he said smiling as a few wished me a happy Christmas. He stepped aside, letting them all enter, and followed Zeo into the living room. "Stop arguing you two, the others are here.
"But it's half five! I want to go to bed! Sleep, you know it? It's very nice!" Kai said, obviously in a bad mood about not being able to sleep a bit longer.
"NO! I don't know it and I bet it's not a nice as opening presents!" Tyson exclaimed, Kai sat down on the couch in his famous Kai pose, Rei walking through the crowd by the door and sitting next to him, resting on his shoulder.
"Be a good boy now and you'll get something in return." Rei whispered, making Kai perk up.
"Ok, presents now." Kai said, clapping his hands together. Tala sat down net to Rei and grinned a little as Zeo sat next to him, stretching and rubbing his eyes.
"Why do we have to do this so early in the morning again?" Zeo asked.
"Don't be such a party pooper! Who wants to open a present first?" Max asked. Tala's hand shot through the air.
"Me, me, me!" He said, receiving a gift-wrapped perfectly.. Everyone laughed as Kai got choked by Tala, who had attached himself onto the blue haired boy's arm. Tala had received the next Resident Evil game, a game called 'Crazy frog Racers' and a knew cream colored, fur-lined snow hat.
"Get off! I understand, you're happy! Now give me my arm back!" Tala obediently let go of the arm and went to reading the back of his game covers. Max picked up one from a pile next to it, wrapped in even WAY too much seletape (AN: my brother wraps his present so you can't get into it unless you have a chainsaw -.-;) He read out the name.
"Zeo." He said, passing Zeo the gift, who in turn blinked at it a few times before receiving a pair of scissors. He carefully cut through the top if the box, so not to damage anything, and almost squealed at what he saw.
"How did you know I wanted a pet?" He asked, getting out the white and chestnut bunny from the box. "It's so cute! Boy or girl?" Tala grinned, please at the reaction.
"It's a girl, you mentioned something at some point about rabbits and how you liked them." Zeo passed the bunny to Tala, put the box on the floor, then put the bunny into his lap.
"She's adorable! Thank you so much!" Tala went red as Zeo kissed him on the cheek without thought, going back to petting his newfound friend. " I'll call her cotton-tail!" He decided, playing with her floppy ears. Tala, not being able to answer, hit Kai round the back f the head as her murmured something along the lines of 'You're an oblivious love-sick moron if you didn't pick that up.' Things went on like this for a while, people exchanging gifts and hugs, a few squeals as people got what they wanted, a few screams as people got attacked with hugs. And a small fight between Zeo's cottontail and Rei's new kitten from Kai which he called Mischief.
"Should of called it menace." Kai said, stopping him from destroying his new MP3 player.
"Don't be mean, he's only a kitten." Rei said, taking the gray tabby. Kai sighed and looked at the clock.
"It's only…eight, what to do for an hour or two?" Rei looked down in thought.
"I don't know, I'm sure Tala will be wanting to try out his new games, so I can't watch me new DVD. Umm…" Kai sighed.
"I guess we could go watch Tala playing, he wouldn't mind I don't think." Kai said, Rei shrugged and nodded, following Kai into the living room where the TV was. They both smiled as they saw Tala reach his hand out and fiddle with Zeo's control.
"HEY! That's cheating!" Zeo complained, laughing all the same.
"I case you haven't noticed, I'm the master of cheats! Tala said. After a few moments, he fiddled with the control pad again, but this time Zeo did the same. Kai leaned towards Rei, wrapping his arms around Rei's waist.
"What are we going to do about them when we all go back to Russia?" Kai asked, Rei looked at Kai surprised, then settled after a moment.
"I never thought of that, you think we could stay longer, and try get them admit to each other?" Kai looked at the two by the TV.
"It's worth a try, but we'll need to talk to Tyson." Kai said, leading his lover to the garden.
Zzz
"I can't."
"Why not? Do you WANT a gloomy Zeo wandering around?"
"My Granddad died on the 28th, it would be awkward, and my dad will be coming." Kai thought for a moment, he had forgotten about that unfortunate fact.
"Well, that means we have no where to stay, which means we'll need a new host, and if we CANT get on our fights because it was canceled, then I'm sure SOMEONE in the living room will be happy for us to stay with them!" Rei said, Kai brightened at this and got out his cell phone. "What you doing?"
"Changing the flights." He said, Rei smiled.
Zzz
"Hey! You so cheated, you didn't deserve that win!" Zeo complained as Tala threw his hands up.
"I won, and you can't do anything!" Zeo puffed his cheeks out.
"Hey Tala, we have some bad news." Came a sad voice from the door. The two at the TV turned at see Rei by the door.
"What is it?" Rei walked closer, looking more depressed at breaking the news.
"Our flights to Russia got canceled and so we had to get them for New Years day, but here's the thing, Tyson's dad is coming for their Grandfathers funeral, so I'm afraid we don't have anywhere to stay yet, could you help find some where, Kai's trying to get our flights changed to an earlier date, but I'm not sure he can." Tala looked slightly shocked the flights they were with never canceled.
" Umm…" Tala and Rei looked at Zeo. "There's room at my house, lots of room, you can stay there if you want." Rei brightened at this, as did Tala.
"Really, thank you Zeo, you saved us from getting a hotel." Rei said, walking out the room to his lover."
"You didn't need to you know." Tala said, looking thankful all the same, Zeo blushed.
"I know, but it's not nice if you don't have anywhere to go, you being Rei and Kai as well." Zeo said, blushing at bit more as he covered up his last part. "Not that you're not as important but-" He stopped as a finger was placed on his lips and Tala slowly came in, leaving a small gap, just as Zeo went to close it, Max burst into the room.
"Dinner's ready! What's wrong you two? Did I disturb something?" He asked, referring to the slightly annoyed look Tala had, and the bright red shy one Zeo had.
"N-no," Zeo said, Max shrugged and left the room. There was an uncomfortable moment, and then Zeo stood. " I don't think Tyson will be happy if we keep them waiting any longer." Zeo said, before rushing out the room, Tala followed, cursing his unfortunate-ness.

Rei smiled slightly as Kai snapped at Tala for taking the gravy while he was using it. Seating for the table was, at the head, Hiro, followed by his two girls who sat next to each other on his right, his wife and baby on his left. Gwen and Hillary were opposite each other, Miriam and Ruia opposite each other, then Max and Ozuma, Mystel and Tyson, Rei and Kenny, Kai and Zeo, and Tala opposite Hiro. The girls fussing over the children, the boys just talking, and Tala was constantly arguing with Kai. Rei smiled at Zeo. When the two last ones came in, there was defiantly something the matter, but Tala soon got his normal 'annoy Kai for the day' thing back, and Zeo then relaxed a bit too. This was how they all were, not perfect, but at least they went killing each other.
Though Kai mentioned it…
I got you back
I'll call you mine
I'll keep you safe
I got you back
I'll never let go
Of what we have
Of what we did
I'll never let go
I want you to know
That I love you so
And I promise you this
I'll hold on to you
Forever
