A/N : *groan* this year's drabbles are taking a lot out of me... next year I am so not doing two pairings in one! but this one... this one I think I actually liked
The Christmas Movie
"That..." the fang-faced shinobi sniffed, "was..." Kiba sniffed again, wiping his eyes and runny nose with the end of his red sweater sleeve. "beautiful, man!" And with that the nineteen year old shinobi began blubbering like a little baby.
It was a rare sight indeed to see a grown man so openly bawling his eyes out. Rarely still to see a Hyuga with watery white eyes nodding besides him. And what had these two brave shinobi in tears was all due to the fact that they had just finished watching what was perhaps the saddest movie either man had ever seen.
They had spent almost the entire day watching movies together with their respective others. Most of them had been sappy romantic comedies that had the girls ooing and awing. Not exactly something that the guys were all that into, but having their girlfriends curl up against them as they all sat on the couch watching was certainly not a small perk. It more than made up for the hours-long movie marathon, making it worth the corny family-friendly generic holiday movies of princes and princesses, miracles on snowy streets, past present and future ghosts, and all those other cliché, fluffy, candy-caned sticky sweet holiday themed movies.
The films themselves, on the other hand, were less than ideal. Not something that two grown men could really get into. Even the girls admitted that most of the movies were too corny to be considered 'good' but then just as quickly added that the purpose of holiday movies wasn't about quality. It wasn't about the cinematography, or about the acting, or even the storyline. What made Christmas movies great was the warm fuzzy feelings they stirred in the viewer as they filled their hearts with joy and laughter.
It was thus of no surprise that one after another movie just got lamer and cornier and sappier as they went. But this final movie, which the girl's had started shortly after dinner, had been different. Unlike all the others that seemed to follow a strict formula of a non-celebrating scrooge finding the true meaning of Christmas, and occasionally true love along the way, this one had none of that. This one was simple, yet elegant. Christmas and life through the eyes of an innocent. There was drama and angst, but also joy and love, and hope and happiness. It was without doubt one of the greatest movies either Kiba or Neji had ever seen, and by the end of it, neither could help but swell up with emotion and cry at the much deserved bitter-sweet happy ending.
"Yeah," the white-eyed prodigy nodded, wiping away a few stray tears before turning down towards the girl curled up at his side. He chuckled softly at the sight that met his gaze, catching Kiba's attention. Both boys smirked lovingly at their side as they saw their two precious loves fast asleep with tired, satisfied smiles on each of their faces, having missed the entire movie and the sight of their two boyfriends tearing up. "Beautiful..."
