Christmas Classics

Let it Snow 1

He watched the figure on the bed, "…don't go…please…"

Krad.

A small weak voice came, "…Dark?" Amethyst eyes looked over at the figure on the bed who was looking dully out the window where the snow was beginning to melt, it had only stopped snowing but a few days ago yet the silvery white frostiness covering everything was already retreating back into spring.

"Yes?"

A small smile graced his lips as he passed him a card. "Take it…"

"…"

Golden eyes cast downwards and sadness flooded them as he turned his gaze back to the window, "Why Dark?"

He leaned towards the figure to hear clearer, "Why what Krad?"

Why…

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

Amethyst eyes looked up at the skies, it was gray and fixing to snow. A frown found its way onto his lips, without another glance up at the sky he dashed back to his house. He loved snow. A sigh escaped him as he sat by his fireplace, out of the corner of his eye he could see that it was snowing.

Powdery whiteness began to cover the ground, getting up, he took his time and made his way to his room and pulled a little box from under his bed and brought it back down with him. Settling down once again by the fireplace, he blew the dust off the beautifully decorated wooden box. Golden hinges moved without much protest and almost at once as the top opened and a soft tune began to play.

He picked up the card inside along with a little tree ornament; it was a silvery glass angel feather with a simple golden string looped through it. As the music played he opened the card and read it to himself once more.

Dark,

I will return to you once more when the grounds are white and leave when spring returns and the music stops. Don't forget me.

Krad

Putting that back into the box he laid on his back and stared at the ornament dangling off his finger, twirling back and forth. Twinkling as the fire reflected off of it, "Return to me sweet angel…"

The door knocked, surprised, he grabbed the box and stuffed everything in it, and shoved it under the couch before going to answer the door, "Hi Dark!"

"Daisuke! What are you doing here?"

The redhead smiled, "It's snowing really hard! Everything's already covered in it! You wanna come out with me and Satoshi to the park? It's still early."

Not wanting to admit that he had just ran in from the same place the redhead spoke of, he shrugged, "Sure why not, just let me get my coat."

"Hurry up!"

"Yea yea…" Dark grumbled as he went and fetched his coat before running outside after his friends, "Wait up!"

"You're so slow! We still have to get Satoshi!"

"I'm not slow! You just got a head start!" He yelled back halfheartedly. "You clearly can't wait to see the creep."

Daisuke laughed and stopped to face the older boy with a sad smile on his face, "You're still thinking of him aren't you? He loved snow and would always get sad when it melted away. You loved him so much…"

Dark gave a small shrug, "He's gone Daisuke. Of course I miss him, but still, I thought we were getting your creep."

"That's mean…Satoshi isn't a creep!"

The teen grinned, "He's as cold as the snow! How is that not creepy?"

The two continued to walk and bicker, "He's not cold!"

"Oh yes he is." Then a snowball hit him on the back of the head, he twirled around to glare at Satoshi, "What was that for?"

"For talking in front of me."

"Creep…"

"Asshole…"

Daisuke gave a nervous smile, "Come on, let's go to the park."

The other two gave a shrug and the three marched to the park in silence with Dark and Satoshi glaring at one another. The redhead smiled as they reached their destination, "Come on! Let's go build a snowman!"

Satoshi nodded, Dark shrugged, "Let's just hope it doesn't end up creepy." He said throwing a glance over at the blue haired boy who merely glared at him.

"Ha ha, let's just hope it doesn't end up an asshole either."

It was Dark's turn to glare at him, "We'll just see about that…"

"Bring it on."

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

After the snowman was built along with several headsand snowballs lying around it, Daisuke and Satoshi had togo home, "Are you coming with us?"

"Naw, I think I'm going to stay a bit longer."

"Suit yourself."

Satoshi glanced over, "Let's just hope you freeze to death."

"You better turn up the heat tonight creep, or else you'll end up an ice cube tomorrow. But don't worry, I'll make sure I bring a chisel tomorrow to make a sculpture out of you to decorate your lawn with."

The blue haired boy glared before turning away with a 'hmph' and walking away. Dark grinned and trudged up to the tree nearby, without another thought, he sat down in the snow and listened to the music around sung by people nearby. Soon he found himself singing along lightly, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…"

"It's very pretty…the snow."

Dark nodded, "Yea it is."

"I love the snow…"

He looked up at the owner of the voice and gaped at the sight before him, a tall figure clad in white stood there, one hand resting lightly on the tree while the other was down by his side, Long golden hair drawn back in a tight ponytail and sharp golden eyes watched him in amusement. A smile gracing his lips, Dark blinked, "K-Krad?"

"Hello Dark."

"B-b-but you're dead…"

The blonde frowned and tilted his head, "Stop joking around Dark. What are you talking about? If I was dead I wouldn't be here right now."

Dark stood up and grabbed Krad by the shoulders, "You're real…" He looked behind the blonde to see where he had come from, there were no footprints there, "But how? Where'd you come from Krad?"

Krad frowned and looked up at the cloudy skies to think about it, "…I don't remember…how strange. Does it matter?"

Almost at one, he pulled the other boy's mouth opened, "I don't think you've become a vampire…"

The blonde pulled away and rubbed his cheeks with his hands, "What are you talking about? Of course I haven't become a vampire! I'm out in the sun right now!"

"True…"

Krad frowned, "Did you have another one of those horrible dreams again?"

Dark pulled the blonde into an embrace and smiled, "Yes, a horrible dream…that's all it was."

The blonde gave a slightly confused smile, "You're so strange…"

"Let's go back to my house."

Golden eyes blinked, "Shouldn't I head home?"

The image of the sign that said 'for sale' in front of the blonde's house came to his mind, he shook his head and frowned, "But you promised to spend the holidays with me…"

"I did?"

"Yes. You don't remember?" Krad shook his head, Dark gave a mock pout, "I can't believe you could forget something like that…I'm hurt."

Golden eyes blinked, "Seriously, I don't remember."

"Well either way you'll be spending it at my place okay? Okay."

And before Krad could respond, Dark had taken him by the hand and dragged him out of the park, "Slow down! What's the hurry?"

"I'm cold!"

The blonde frowned as they reached the house and wrenched his hand away, "What's going on Dark? You're acing all weird, I mean weirder than usual."

"You know how I am around the holidays."

Krad contemplated it then the frown reappeared, "Yes but you've never been this weird-"

He was cut off as Dark covered his lips with his own, "I love you, you know that right?"

"Yes, but I wish you'd tell me why you're acting all strange and stuff! And please don't lie to me-"

Once more, he was cut off as the other boy hugged him tightly, "Don't leave me…ever."

The blonde sighed deciding that he wasn't going to get anywhere at this rate, "I'm not going anywhere, I swear, you make it sound like I just came back from hell or something. Why would I leave you?"

Dark blinked, "I don't know. Just…don't." If he doesn't know that he's dead then maybe he won't leave when the snow melts, if he doesn't know…he won't leave me.

Krad raised a brow, "I thought you were cold."

The other boy smiled, "Yea, I am, let's go inside."

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

Over the next few days, Dark had insisted on staying inside to spend all the time he could with the blonde but soon, Krad grew weary of being indoors that often. "Dark? Why have we been staying inside for the past few days? Why haven't you called Daisuke or anything?"

He gave a nervous smile, "Because he went out with his family, they won't be back for awhile."

"They are?" Dark nodded solemnly, "oh…another thing I don't remember…but can we go out? This is too stuffy."

"Sure, ah…just wait." He ran up the stairs and grabbed the biggest hoody he had, ran back down and pulled it over the blonde, it was way too big as he had predicted.

Krad frowned and pulled the hood up a bit so he could see, then he stared at the sweater, "What is this?"

"To keep you warm."

"But don't you have anything else? This is too big…" He lifted up his hands which were completely covered by the sleeves, "Dark…"

Dark smiled at the sight before him, Krad pouting while the hood continued covering his eyes so that only a few golden bangs were showing, then he pulled down the hood and his pulled his ponytail out with a frown on his face, "Nope! Come on!"

"But Dark! You know I hate wearing black!"

"It's got a white design on it so stop complaining!" He laughed and dragged the blonde out the door, never in his life had he been that happy.

"Dark! Slow down! I swear, you're going to slip on ice or something and die! And you'll end up dragging me along won't you?"

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

Once at the mall, Dark began to shove clothes into the blonde's arms to try on, "Why?"

"Because I want to see you in all this."

"I was thinking more like going to the park…"

"Who cares? Try it on!"

As Krad headed into the change room, a certain redhead shoved Dark, "Hey!"

"Dai-chan! Why are you here?"

"Christmas shopping, why are you here?"

Dark laughed, "Clothes shopping."

Daisuke smiled back, "You seem to be in a good mood…something good happened?"

"You could say that."

"Oh? Did you finally find someone else?"

"Maybe." Amethyst eyes glittered mischievously, "I'll never tell."

The redhead pouted, "Why? Tell me!"

"Why tell you indeed…"

Then Satoshi called out, "Daisuke! Let's go!"

Daisuke's pout immediately vanished, "Well, I'll see you later Dark! I'm glad to you all messed up in the head again!"

"Hey! That was offensive!"

"Sorry!"

A minute later Krad came out, Dark smiled, "That looks good."

Golden eyes looked around, "Who was that? I could've sworn I heard Daisuke."

"Hm? It was just that kid from our class, what was his name? Hiro, yea that's it."

Krad frowned, "I see…why are we clothes shopping?"

"Because I wanted to buy you clothes? And we could go get Christmas presents too."

"And you're paying for all of this?" Dark nodded while the blonde stared at him in shock, "You? Are paying for all of this out of your own free will? The last time I asked you to buy me something you told me that you wouldn't even if we got married! And now suddenly you're all generous?"

"Umm…yes? Hey don't forget, I ended up buying you a lot of stuff anyways!"

"Yes but still…"

Dark smiled, "I'm just in the Christmas mood okay? Is it so wrong to buy stuff for people you love? And you've been complaining about it for quite awhile now so I decided to attempt to change."

The blonde blinked in slight confusion, "If you say so…I never thought you'd be able to change like that, and I never thought it'd work so well... The only other time I saw you change was before and after PE…"

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

Krad sighed as he sat around on the couch while Dark was out 'volunteering' in the snow. There were still at least two hours before he was off. He looked out the window wondering why he hadn't been allowed to go with him. It wasn't like he was breaking a law or anything, either way, Dark had told him no and he was stuck under house arrest until the other boy got back.

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

Dark sighed and stared out the window, he couldn't wait till school was over, Christmas had passed and New Years was coming, which meant that spring would be arriving soon. He felt his heart speed up at the thought of the snow melting, he had been so happy for the past week he simply didn't, couldn't let the blonde go.

"Curse you damnable educational center…"

Suddenly he looked up as a shadow was cast onto his desk, he gave a sheepish grin as the teacher glared at him. "Detention."

"Come on! Have a heart! I have a little brother to take care of!" It was his second nature to lie without thinking.

"Dark Mousy, shame, shame, and shame on you." Dark raised a brow at the way the teacher said it, and the way that she was waggling her finger at him, "Everyone in this room knows that you don't have a sibling."

Instinct kicked in again, "It was a figure of speech, I have a little cousin sleeping over at my place and he's like a brother to me so I should very much like to get home on time to take care of him."

"And his parents?"

"Busy."

"No siblings?"

"Nope."

"I see…very well you have my mercy today, I'll spare you of your detention."

Dark silently patted himself on the back with a smug grin on his face.

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

Krad laid on his back staring at the ceiling by the fire place, he rolled onto his side and something caught his eye, he reached under the couch and pulled out a little box, he blinked, "Hello, what's this? I never knew Dark kept such girly things around…" He opened it and took out the ornament, twirling it around for a bit before placing it on the ground and picking up the card, his eyes widened, "What?"
