Song Chosen: All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey
"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree"
Keith sat on the dark grey sectional that sat in his living room. Keith was wrapped in a white fleece blanket that always sat on the couch. He was staring out that window watching as white snow fell from the skies and landed on the ground. It was currently night and Keith was home alone. His mother was out to a work Christmas party.
Keith sighed as he checked his phone once again. Nothing. Lance had told him that he would text him when he landed in Cuba. He hadn't gotten anything from his boyfriend yet and was wondering if Lance just possible just forgot.
"I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you"
This was mostly why Keith was so down the last few hours. He was hoping to have spent the Christmas holidays with his boyfriend. He had been planning little things for them to do together with help from Shiro and Adam. However, he was devastated when Lance told him that he would be traveling to Cuba with his family until New Years to visit his grandparents.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree"
Come Christmas Day, Keith wouldn't care about the presents under the tree. The only present he wanted was for Lance to be by his side and cheering him up.
"I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day"
Keith's family had never been one to hang stockings. Lance's family, however, had gifted one to him and his mother. Krolia had hung hers up on the mantle, Keith had neglected to hang his up. Lance had been the one to pick Keith's stocking out, so hanging it up would just remind Keith of how much he missed Lance.
"I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby"
Keith knew it was selfish to want Lance when he had family he was visiting. But Lance was the one who would always brighten his day and was always there when Keith needed him.
"I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just going to keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe"
Keith got up off the couch and headed over to the window and stared longingly at one of the mistletoe that his mother had hung up as a joke for the two to kiss whenever they were under them. Of course, now they would never get to as Lance was on his way Cuba.
"I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click"
Keith had long grown out the age where kids would write letters to Santa asking him for things they wanted for Christmas. If Keith could, he would write a letter to Santa with Lance's name on it.
"'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby"
Keith could almost Lance's arms around him. Lance's holds would be able warm and full of love. His hugs would warm everyone that he met and hugged.
"Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air"
Keith smiled bitterly as he heard the cheerful laughter of children as they walked around with their parents and looking at the houses with Christmas lights on them. At least someone was having fun on this lonely night of his.
"And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?"
Keith closed the blinds and closed the curtains with a frown on his face. He checked his phone again and sighed upon seeing no text from Lance.
"Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door"
Keith stared longingly at the front door that was locked at the moment. He wished that the doorbell would ring and he would open it and find Lance on the other side with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is…"
Keith shook the image and started to head upstairs, his mother had let him know that she would be staying at a co-workers place for the night. Keith shut off the living room lights on his way up. He was stopped when the doorbell rang, the sound echoing throughout the whole house.
Keith turned confused at the front door. The doorbell rang again and Keith turned the living room lights and unlocked the door. Keith opened the door and his eyes widened at who was on the other side.
"You"
"Lance?" Keith asked in surprise as his boyfriend drew him into a hug and twirled around with a smile on his face. "I thought you were in Cuba with your family?"
"We were heading to our connecting flight when my mother saw how lonely I was without you and bought me a ticket back home," Lance said as he placed Keith back down on the ground. "And seeing you again, I can see you were the same."
"So," Keith said as he stepped aside with a smile on his face. "I guess you're staying here until the holidays are over."
"I guess I am," Lance said as he stepped inside with his suitcase, Keith closing the door behind them.
"All I want for Christmas is you"
