I gave out a long breath as I collapsed onto the bed, Koujaku fell down next to me, and I gave him a long look, but he just smiled innocently as he sat up. He pulled the covers up over us as I turned over onto my stomach. Sometimes I really did think Koujaku was insatiable, his stamina was unreal at times.

"You ok Aoba?" Koujaku asked as he lit a cigarette.

"Yeah, but I swear you hippo," I sighed as I felt the state my hair was in. "Do you ever get tired?"

"It's not my fault." Koujaku laughed as he stared up at the ceiling. "You're the one who tempts me so much."

"How's it my fault?!" I stuttered bolting up slightly.

"If you didn't look so damn sexy." he leaned down, and gave me a quick kiss.

"You!" I buried my head in my pillow, I felt my cheeks heat up. He gave a laugh beside me, and I slowly looked up, I bolted up as I caught sight of the outside world. I pulled the blankets up with me, and shifted closer to the window. Koujaku glanced over at me, but apart from that made no mind to what I was doing. I wrapped the blankets tightly around, and gave a happy smile. It was a blizzard outside, a completely white blizzard! "Koujaku look! It's snowing so hard outside!"

Koujaku squashed his cigarette in his ashtray, and twisted around to look outside. "Oh." he scooted closer to me, and looked outside. "That's quite a lot snow." I nodded happily and continued to look outside.

"It's so pretty." I whispered as Koujaku draped an arm around my shoulder. "It's like we're inside a snow globe."

"With this much snow it might actually stick for a couple days for a change." Koujaku replied, and I nodded happily. Midorijima wasn't unaccustomed to snow, but the snow usually never stayed for more than a couple days.

"Do you really think so?" I asked him, I wished it would. I actually really loved the snow even though I hated to be cold.

"Maybe." Koujaku said. "It'll depend on how long it keeps snowing like this. Though I don't think it ever snowed this hard here before."

"I don't remember it snowing like this if it had." I responded back. "I wish we could go for a walk in it, but it's snowing way too hard."

"We'd get lost if we did." he agreed, as he scooted down in the bed; he laid his head back on the pillow, and closed his eyes. "Come on lay down, it's late."

"Whose fault is that?" I asked him as I plopped down beside him. He pulled me close, and I squirmed a little under his grasp.

"You know something?" he said after a long wait.

"Hmm?" I forced myself to wake back up as he suddenly spoke out.

"This will be our first Christmas together." he mumbled into my hair, and I winced slightly at the strange sensation. That's true, technically. When Koujaku, and his mother lived on the island they would come over for Christmas, but then we were only friends those Christmas's. This Christmas though, a lot had changed. Koujaku no longer had his family, but he had me now…not that I could even come close to replacing everything he lost that day which extended far from just the death of his mother. He lost so much more. But I vowed when we became lovers that I would do what I could to heal his heart that had been broken, and destroyed. I may have destroyed the part of his mind that kept from allowing himself to move on, but Scrap couldn't heal him, that's not what it was meant for. I would have to do that. And thankfully he was letting me; at least he wasn't pushing me away. At nights when his dreams betrayed him I would wake him up, and I allowed him to cry, I didn't stop him or push him away, I just allowed him to cry and stammer his apologies into my arms. As the year progressed, his nightmares came less and less, but they wouldn't ever truly disappear.

"Hey Koujaku, let's do something fun this Christmas." I snuggled closer to him. This Christmas I want to make him happy.

"What did you have in mind?" Koujaku asked as he gently ran his fingers through my hair.

"I don't know." I said sleepily. "Next time it snows, let's go for a walk in the woods nearby. I bet it would be really pretty. Maybe even the beach? I heard people say the ocean is always really pretty during winter.

"Haha, you don't plan on going swimming do you?" Koujaku asked, and I weakly punched him.

"Shut up hippo." I mumbled.

"How about Saturday we go ice skating?" he suddenly said, and I jerked my head up to look at him. His red eyes stared down at me, and I smiled at him. "Then I'll take you to see the ocean."

"Really?" I whispered.

"Really." he replied. I leaned up, and gave him a kiss.

"Then next Saturday, take me on a date." I laid back down, and Koujaku hummed slightly. "I love you Koujaku." My eyes closed and I drifted off, but as the darkness washed over me I swear I heard Koujaku whisper my words back to me.

I love you too, Aoba.

Me: Ugh ok, uploading this literally is killing me, I HATE this chapter, I absolutely hate it! I swear to all my readers that I am going to come back to this chapter and rewrite this one, truly, but I hated the idea of missing an update even more. So here it is, and PLEASE if anyone has any ideas I can use for Koujaku please let me know. I love Koujaku so much but I have no idea how to write for him! Noiz is easy, Clear I just have to write something cute, Mink is super easy, I got Ren down, and Mizuki is fun to write for. But even though I love Koujaku to death I have no idea how to write for him. I'll work on this chapter more in the morning. Maybe it's because of my cold, and it's been a rather bad day so maybe my brain just doesn't want to write cute, and happy cause I noticed as I writing for this chapter it slowly began turning like super depressing, and I kept deleting that and then turned to this. UGH! Please guys, love me, and send some ideas my way I really need them!
