Hikari's Christmas Vignettes

A Christmas Secret Santa present on Guardian's Wish for Hikari-san. 3

I don't own Shugo Chara.

This is sort of suggestive stuff because i am a pervert. And there's some yaoi, heads up. (i write a lot of it because i am a rabid fangirl. xD; )

And there's a few spoilers in the last vignette, just to warn you.

Number Nine

His listened to the loud 'crunch' of his footsteps as he hiked through the snow, heading to her apartment. He couldn't help but smile as he looked around. It had taken him awhile, but he finally had gotten used to the whole Christmas feeling.

It had taken long enough to pick out her present; the poor girl at the counter had to help him pick it out. It was unlike Ikuto to spend so much time in a single store. He usually went in, got what he wanted, and left. He didn't shop for fun. He shopped because of necessity. But picking out her gift had been more difficult than he thought. I mean, he usually didn't have any interest in shopping, and buying women's clothes? As if.

But he had done it for her. She was worth it. He grinned, his thoughts drifting to the pink-haired girl waiting for him at home. A cold gust whipped through the air, chilling him. He pulled his coat closer around his body, warming him up and keeping the red package against his chest safe.

He was going to enjoy giving it to her. He grinned and entered the apartment complex, slamming his boots on the carpet to make sure all the snow that had clumped against his boots fell off.

Ikuto made it to the elevator just in time, relaxing as he saw the button for her floor had already been pressed. He waited patiently, and then exited on floor 5.

He was grinning again. He really couldn't help himself. It was just such a great gift. She'd love it!

He knocked on her door. Amu opened it and smiled when she saw him.

"Ikuto-kun!"

"Amu-chan." She pulled the door back, allowing him to come in. He smiled at her apartment; it was completely decorated from floor to ceiling.

"In the Christmas spirit, aren't you?"

"Oh, shut up. You know you like it." She laughed, grabbing his hands and pulling herself up to peck him lightly on the lips.

"Hm. I like kisses more."

"Oh?"

"You had a candy cane earlier, didn't you?" He grinned, licking his lips.Amu laughed.

"Yeah."

"Tastes good." She rolled her eyes at his facial expression.

"You're such a perv, you know that?"

He pulled out the red package. "Merry Christmas, Amu."

She giggled happily, taking the package from him.

"Thank you, Ikuto!" She turned and bent down to put in under the tree. After ogling her butt for a few moments, Ikuto grabbed her waist and pulled her back up.

"This one is special."

"Special?"

"Yeah. You can open it tonight."

"Oh? It's a Christmas Eve present?"

"Yeah."

"... Can I open it right now?"

"Why not?"

Amu dropped down onto her couch, Ikuto plopping down next to her. She ripped open the red package, revealing pink tissue paper. She pushed it aside and stared. Just stared.

"Ikuto-kun?"

During her presenting opening, he'd pulled her onto his lap. He was kissing her neck now, and rubbing her hip.

"Hmm?"

"Is this a present for me or for you?" She pulled of the skanky "Mrs. Claus" costume and raised a brow.

"Do you know how long I spent in Victoria's Secret picking that out?"

"Should I be touched?"

"Of course." He nuzzled the back of her neck. "Very touched. I only spend time hunting gifts for people that matter."

"You expect me to wear this?"

"You're house is decked out for Christmas, from floor to ceiling. Why aren't you?" He was snickering; she could tell from his breath on her neck.

"I'm not sleeping in that!"

"I know."

"What do you mean you know? I'm not sleeping in such sexy lingerie!"

"I know you aren't."

"Then why did you even buy it for me?" She glanced over her shoulder at her perverted boyfriend. "If I'm not going to wear it, what's it good for?"

"You're going to wear it." Ikuto laughed. "But you aren't sleeping in it."

Amu bit her lip, confused. And then it dawned on her.

"Ikuto. Are you implying...?"

"That's exactly what I'm implying. Go put it on so I can take it off."

Amu rolled her eyes, getting up from his lap.

"Pervert cat."

"Would you want me any other way?"

As he watched her shut the bathroom door to change, he grinned. Oh yes. He could definitely get used to this Christmas feeling.

Number Four

The red head grimaced, staring up at the mistletoe he had hung in the garden earlier in the week. He sighed, staring at the blonde in front of him.

Tadase was no more thrilled than he was. But the three guardian girls had gathered around and were cooing at them.

"Tadase-kun! Kukai-kun! You're both under mistletoe!"

"That means...!"

"You have...!"

"TO KISS!!!" They squealed together.

Kukai twitched, his green eyes meeting Tadase's crimson ones.

"How do we get ourselves into these things, Tadase?"

"I'm not sure, Kukai-kun."

"And what scares me the most is how much they're getting into it." He looked over his shoulder at the three girls, who were now selling tickets to girls that wanted to see the "Most Exciting Kiss of the Year: Tadase-kun and Kukai-kun, the Hotties!"

"Maybe we should just get it over with?"

Kukai frowned. "We could pretend..."

Tadase looked at the girls who had surrounded them. "I think they'd be able to tell."

Kukai rocked back and forth on his heels.

"Kukai-kun, the longer we're here the less work we're going to get done. It's only a kiss."

Kukai frowned again. It wouldn't be as big of a deal if it wasn't, you know, my first kiss?!

"It's only a kiss."

"THAT'S RIGHT, KUUUUKAI!"

"ONLY A KISS!"

All the girls sighed dreamily and then resumed staring in anticipation.

Kukai sighed, giving in. His hand trailed down the side of Tadase's face, making the blonde blink, and then he brought his lips to Tadase's.

The girls squealed happily; some even took pictures and timed it.

After a few seconds, Kukai pulled away.

"There. Satisfied?"

The girls all nodded then exited the garden.

Kukai rolled his eyes as the three remaining females joyfully counted their profits. He glanced over to Tadase, who still looked in shock. He walked over and gave Tadase a swift pat on the back.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Just..."

"Shaken up?"

"Yeah."

"Ah, well. Get over it. Let's not have awkward feelings, okay?" Kukai was trying his hardest to diminish the spark he could feel burning in his chest. If he didn't, he was sure it'd explode into a fire.

"Y-yeah."

As the red head walked away, he ran his index finger over his lips. I guess it wasn't too bad for a first kiss.

Little did Kukai know, Tadase was also running his fingers over his lips.

A first kiss can really start a fire.

Number Five

She blew on her hot chocolate; a futile attempt to cool the right-out-of-the-heat liquid. Miki was one of those people who knew they shouldn't take that first sip because it would be too hot and burn their tongue, but always did.

So she sipped it, yanking away immediately. It was too hot. She had burned her tongue. With a pout, she sat her notepad down to waves her arms back and forth, fanning her tongue. It was a futile attempt as well. Her tongue was already burnt. She couldn't fix that.

She sighed, reaching over for her notepad. She blinked, turning her head. Why wasn't it there?

She looked around to see where it might have fallen, only to see her lavender-haired crush flipping through the pages. Her face darkened immediately and she scrambled over to retrieve it.

"Kiseki-kun, give me that!"

"Why? They're all pictures of me."

Miki blushed. "Please give it back."

"Commoner, why do you draw me so much? Quite well, I might add." He ignored her request and kept fumbling through the pages. He paused at the one she was currently working on.

"Why isn't this one complete?"

"It's the one I'm working on right now."

"Ah." He paused, staring over at the girl. "I see. Carry on." He handed her the pad. She took it and walked back to her comfy chair as quickly as she could. She took another sip and flinched. Still too hot. She sat it down on the side table and picked up her pencil. As she drew, she became faintly aware of the presence over her left shoulder.

"Um...?" She glanced over her shoulder, spying Kiseki. "Kiseki-kun?"

"Continue commoner. I want to watch."

"It's not that exciting..."

"You dare to disobey your king?!"

"Fine, fine." She blushed as he continued watching her over her shoulder. She stopped again, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. She flinched again. Still too hot! She sat it down again and kept drawing.

And it continued for a few minutes until when Miki reached over to take another sip, once again hoping it was cool, her hot chocolate was gone. She stopped, turning over to look for it.

"Where did it go...?"

"I took it. For someone who can draw so well, you have no common sense. It's still hot."

"Please give it back?"

"No." Kiseki took a sip, sending a blush over Miki's face.

"K-Kiseki, you just drank m-my hot c-chocolate...?"

"I did." He licked his lips, obviously mulling something over in his head. "Commoner, I think it's cool enough now." He pressed the hot chocolate into her hand.

"T-thanks?"

"You're welcome." He adjusted his cape. "Don't drink it if it's hot."

"I can't help it..."

"What? So you need me to supervise you every time you drink hot chocolate?"

"... would you?"

Kiseki froze, raising his brows. "Why would I do such a-"

"I'll let you watch me draw."

Kiseki blinked. "You'll draw me and me alone?"

"Yes."

"... Fine. You have yourself a deal, commoner."

His blue eyes met hers.

"So..."

"I'm drinking it right now."

"And you need supervision?"

"..."

Kiseki walked around, dropping himself over the back of the chair.

"This had better be some picture, commoner."

"It will be."

Number Three

"Love Me Tender."

"The Game of Love."

"All You Need is Love."

"Love is a Rose."

"Love Song."

"Can't Buy Me Love."

"Love Don't Cost a Thing."

"Love is a Many Splendored Thing."

"And I Love Her."

"Love is a Verb."

"Love Will Keep Us Together."

"Love Makes the World Go Round."

"Love Gets Me Every Time."

"Love Ain't Like That."

"Love in an Elevator."

"What's Love Got to Do with It?"

"Love Me or Hate Me."

"Love Me or Leave Me."

"Love Me or Leave Me Alone."

"On the Wings of Love."

"Where is the Love?"

"How Can I Not Love You?"

"Uhhh, What I Like About You?"

"Kukai, it has to have the word love in it."

"But... but I can't think of anymore songs!"

"Think. Or else you'll lose."

Kukai bit his lip and pouted. "I'm not going to lose! You always win! It's not fair!"

"Hm. Whatever you say."

"You don't deny it! You always pick games you're good at. Do you have a list hidden or something?"

"You think I'm really that desperate?"

"Well, you like to win."

"I don't need to cheat to beat a moron like you."

"HEEEY!" Kukai glared at his snickering companion. "I'm not a moron."

"No, you aren't. But you always want to play games. And then you set up these ridiculous wagers. And then you lose. Always."

Kukai huffed and looked away. "Whatever."

"Any more?"

"Um... Oh! Love is a Battlefield! Ha, top that!"

"Endless Love."

"Damn you..."

"Of course. You shouldn't have set the stakes so high."

"L.O.V.E."

"Vision of Love."

"Love You So!"

"As Long as You Love Me."

"ARRRG! How are you so good at everything?"

"It's a skill."

"Falling Out of Love!"

"To Love Somebody."

"Baby, I Need Your Lovin'."

"I know you do"

"Oh, shut up and play! I'm going to win!"

"When I Fall In Love."

"Uh... um... My One and Only Love."

"I know I am."

"Damn it, will you quit that?"

"Heh. Crazy Little Thing Called Love."

"Abandoned Love!"

"You've gotten better at this. Do you have a hidden list?"

"No."

"Hm. I Can't Help Falling in Love With You. Isn't that true?"

The red head blushed. "You're so desperate."

"Ah, c'mon. We're going to end up doing it either way."

"Yeah, but it's not fair! You always get to be on top!"

"That's because you always lose."

"That's because you always cheat!"

"Only sometimes."

"You HAVE?"

"Relax, Sohma. I'm kidding."

"But you do like to be on top."

"Yes."

"Pervert cat..."

Ikuto grinned. "Perhaps. Can you think of anymore or can we screw now?"

"I'll think of more..."

"I don't know how much longer I can wait..."

"Geez! Keep it in your pants!"

"My half-naked, sweaty, soccer-playing boyfriend with the body of a Greek god is straddling my waist. I'd say this is your fault."

"We won our game today, too!"

"I know. I'm proud of you." Kukai blushed as Ikuto bent down and kissed him on the forehead.

"... Fine. I give up."

"Good boy." Ikuto pushed Kukai down onto his back. "And I can think of one more."

"Oh?"

"I Will Always Love You."

Number Seven

Ikuto sighed, shaking his head at the little elbow poking him in his side.

"Tadase-chan..."

"Onii-tan?"

Ikuto had to smile. He was so cute.

"What is it, Onii-tan?"

"Did you have fun today?"

"Uh huh! I like to go sledding!"

Ikuto's smile stayed on his face as he wrapped the flannel blanket around the two and turned up the volume of the children's Christmas special on TV.

"I'm glad." How he got stuck babysitting the little kid, he never knew. But it happened so often Tadase thought Ikuto was his older brother.

"Onii-tan what's that?" The little blonde wiggled on Ikuto's lap as he pointed at the screen.

"That's the Grinch."

"I don't like 'em."

"I don't either."

"Why's he taking their presents?"

"Because he's stealing Christmas."

"You can do that?"

"He's the Grinch. He can do it."

"What if he steals our Christmas?!" The blonde glanced up with teary eyes at Ikuto who reassured the child by ruffling his hair.

"He won't."

"But what if he tries?"

"Then 'Onii-tan' will beat him up."

"Oh." Tadase grinned and leaned back on Ikuto's chest. "Promise?"

"Promise."

"Can I play with kitty?"

Ikuto blinked. "Hm?"

"Onii-tan's kitty!"

Ikuto smirked, Tadase's request finally dawning on him. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his egg. He poked it, and as soon as Yoru poked his head out Ikuto plucked him out.

"This kitty?"

"Yep!"

"Ikuto... don't you dare." Yoru looked down at the little blonde with weary eyes.

"What do you say?"

"Pleeeease? Can't I hold the kitty?"

Ikuto ignored Yoru's pleas and handed the cat to the little boy who immediately began showing his affection by hugging the cat closely to his chest.

"I like the kitty"

"I'm glad."

Tadase snuggling back down on Ikuto's lap and the two continued to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas. At the end, as peace was restored to the town and the Grinch found happiness, Ikuto glanced down to see a sleeping Tadase cuddled against his chest; the boy's tiny fingers were intertwined in his shirt. Yoru was asleep on his shoulder, sandwiched between his partner and the blonde.

Ikuto grinned, scooping up Tadase and Yoru. He carried them into the next room, dropping the sleeping boy down onto his bed and setting his shugo back against Tadase's chest.

He couldn't help staring at the two for awhile. Ikuto didn't always care about 'cute', but as he watched the sleeping child and his guardian, he broke down and had to gush for a few moments, however uncharacteristically it was.

Before he left, he tucked a blanket around the two and planted a light kiss on Tadase's forehead.

Yes, he was Tadase's 'onii-tan', but Tadase was also his otouto-chan, and he wouldn't change that for the world.
