Okay, the next part is up. I know it's finally kinda fast, for I FINALLY have free time, not getting dragged along shopping with my sister or mother. They finally left me at home, so I can write in peace.

And for that, here is the next part of the trip to Niseko.

It was a new day in the grand hotel in the resort of Niseko, where the happy couple laid in the bed, finally waking up after a good nights sleep. It was 3 days before Christmas, and the whole town was getting ready for the celebration, putting up decorations, games, a big Christmas tree was getting set up in the center of the plaza.

Izaya was the first one to wake up, making his side of the bed, going into the closet to pick his outfit for the day, before heading for the shower, washing his slightly sweaty hair with a holiday themed shampoo.

After getting ready, the raven headed for the kitchen, opening the grand fridge, his eye's almost popping out of his sockets. It was fully loaded with any kind of food you could imagine. It was a chefs dream come true.

Since Izaya was a skilled cook, he was giddy, his toes curling in his slippers. Before even starting anything, the raven switched on the TV, leaving it on a music channel, flooding the room with soft music.

Finally deciding his menu, the raven pushed up his cuffs, scattering for pots and pans, opening and closing the fridge for ingredients.

His hips moved together with the snowy themed song, while mixing the mix for pancakes, checking up the omelet, while popping out the French toast. Izaya put down the pancake mix, grabbing strawberries from the fridge, washing them in the sink, while he put the first spoon of pancake mix on the pan.

While it was frying, the raven cut up tomatoes, cleaning out the insides, filling the now empty shell of the tomatoes with a cream cheese filling, decorating it like a small Santa Claus.

The pancakes were already halfway done, while Izaya mixed in the cocoa with sugar, adding water and miniature marshmallows.

While the raven was setting up the breakfast table and finishing up all the cooking, shifting was going inside the bedroom, where the blond millionaire was finally getting up, tying the long sheet on his waist, running his fingers through his bleached hair.

Opening the bedroom door, Shizuo was met with a delicious scent coming from the kitchen, where soft humming along the now playing song could be heard. Shizuo entered the kitchen, seeing a big assortment of food laid on the table, Izaya putting the plate full of steaming pancakes topped with strawberries and whipped cream.

''Oh, morning, Shizu-chan! The breakfast is ready. Go get washed up and join me.''

''Wow. I think you outdid yourself.'' The blond said, wide-eyed.

''Nah, this is nothing. Just breakfast. The fridge was full, so I used some things.''

Shizuo captured the small raven in a tight hug, burying his head in the crook of the ravens neck.

''You're amazing. I love you.''

''I know. Now, get cleaned up. Sorry, but you smell.''

The blond broke the hug, huffing in fake pain.

''How could you say that! You hurt my feelings.'' The blond moaned, putting on a fake pout.

''Well, if you don't want the breakfast, you can skip the shower.''

''Oh, hell no.'' And with that, the blond was gone from the kitchen in record time, making Izaya chuckle, before finishing with setting up the table.

After Shizuo took the shower and got breakfast, both of them shared a tasty breakfast, talking about the days agenda.

''What do you want to do, my little raven?'' Shizuo asked, strawberry in his mouth.

''I think I want to check out the Christmas market, that is just down from the hotel along the road. I read in the brochure that it was amazing.''

''We'll do anything you want.''

After having breakfast and cleaning up, the pair dressed in their coats, boots, gloves, hats and scarves, before heading in the cold winter air, hitting the Christmas market. It was said in the brochure, that it was one of the biggest events in the resort.

After exiting the hotel, the first booths could already be seen. Izaya's eye's shone like a kids in a candy store, rushing to every booth there was, shopping to his hearts content, the blond offering to pay for everything.

They stopped in front of an inside store, where Izaya stopped the blond from entering.

''You stay here.''

''Why?''

''I want to buy some gifts fir my family. I may not be able to see them this year too, but I want to at least send them a gift, since they always sent some to me every year, since I left home. And before you say anything, I'm going to use my own money, cause I'm going to buy a gift for you too.''

And with that, the raven went missing for half an hour, giving Shizuo time to find a hot chocolate stand and get two cups, before coming back, and by then, the raven exited the store, both of his hands full of shopping bags.

''Damn, how much did you spend?''

''A lot more than I expected. But no worry. In the holidays, there is no purpose for money, other than making other people happy.''

The raven smiled a cute smile, making the blonds heart melt. He was lucky with such a kind-hearted boyfriend. Izaya looked at his crowded hands, his happiness level falling.

''Oh, shoot. Now that my hands are so full, we can't go anywhere anymore.''

''Don't worry. I'll call for a bell-boy to bring your stuff up to our room, so we can continue.''

''Thank, Shizu. You're the best.''

''I know.''

It was the night before Christmas, when both males were eating tangerine, watching the third movie of Santa Claus, bickering about the poor acting skills of the actor, who played Jack Frost, when suddenly, a loud ring echoed through the room, startling the raven, making him drop his tangerine, it rolling under the table.

While Izaya went under the table, to retrieve the fallen fruit, Shizuo answered his phone, talking very quietly, before giving something approval. Izaya raised an eye-brow, questioning the blond male, who was smiling like a dork.

''Shizuo, what is going on?''

''Remember, I said I had a big surprise for you? It just arrived. I really hope you will like it.''

The blond took Izaya by the hand, leading him towards the front door, Shizuo making the raven stand in the spot.

''I know this is pretty late, but..''

''Quit stalling!''

And Shizuo opened the door.

Behind it, there were standing the people, that Izaya thought he would never see again, by his own fault, that is. He had never made any time for them, but now, the blond had given him the best gift ever.

And it was two squealing, crying twin girls, jumping in his arms, hugging him so tight, that he was loosing oxygen, fast.

''Izaya-nii, we missed you so much! Where have you been?!''

''Now, now, Mairu, Kururi, don't kill your brother, you just finally met him after a long time.'' Said a middle aged woman, dark hair tied in a ponytail, a big goofy smile on her face, a bit of tears in her eye's. ''It's nice to see you, Izaya.''

''Mom..''

Izaya looked at his boyfriend, smiling like a goof, his little sisters still squeezing the life out of him, his mother standing in the doorway.

The raven could not be more happier.

So, surprise! I dragged Izaya's family into this trip! Woohoo..

These trip chapters won't be too long, since they are just fillers for the real drama, which is going to start very soon!

I really love writing about Christmas and other holidays, so I was excited to write the trip fillers. I really hope you liked it, no matter if it was short and kinda sucky...

I'm going to try very hard to find some time for you guys, since I restarted writing, I was feeling so much better, since I'm going to a new school.

P.S – There is a poll on my profile for the upcoming story, so please, go vote on it, if you haven't already. It would mean so very much to me.

I hope you'll stick to the end,
