-Unforgettable Christmas Night-
"…………………………" a long pause in silence. Tsukimori couldn't help but think that the God has played a prank to him.
"Tsukimori-kun? Thank goodness, I didn't see the wrong person," said Kaji relieved.
'This is the worst Christmas present I ever had,' thought Tsukimori while cursing himself for coming to that accessories store.
"What are you doing here, Tsukimori-kun? Buying present?" asked Kaji curiously.
'It's obvious that I'm coming here for a present for my mom, this idiot,' cursed Tsukimori inside his mind.
"Tsukimori-kun?"
"I think I'll go to the next store. See you—" Tsukimori tried to escape from Kaji's sight but…
"If you don't mind, may I go with you?" asked Kaji while holding Tsukimori's hand.
Tsukimori silenced and sighed. He knew that… he can't escape now.
An hour and a couple minutes later…
"Thanks for your help, Tsukimori-kun. Because of you, now I can get the most wonderful present for my mom," said Kaji cheerfully.
"It's not something that you should feel thankful for," replied Tsukimori coldly.
"But, I'm really grateful for your help, you know?"
"That's why—"
"I'm really satisfied with the present you've chosen."
"Also, I'm really happy that you're here and accompany me,"
Tsukimori silenced and blushed a bit because of Kaji's blunt words. Then, Tsukimori bit his lips and tried to walk away.
"Hey, Tsukimori-kun, where are you going?" asked Kaji, following Tsukimori's steps.
"Going home," answered Tsukimori hastily, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Going home? But, the illumination just going to start, why don't we watch the illumination together, before we go back?"
"… If you want to watch, watch it yourself," replied Tsukimori back.
"But, I want to watch the illumination with you, Tsukimori-kun,"
"I won't go. I'm going home,"
Tsukimori walked faster. Kaji followed him and never let Tsukimori gone from his sight.
"… Why are you following me?" asked Tsukimori after awhile.
"Because I want to walk you home," answered Kaji bluntly.
"I don't need anyone to walk me home," said Tsukimori coldly.
"But I want to walk you home," replied Kaji.
Tsukimori silenced and didn't want to counter Kaji's words.
Minutes later…
"Quit following me. Are you trying to follow me into my house?" asked Tsukimori without looking back.
"So this is your house?" asked Kaji, smiling.
"Yes, it is and now you can go home or anywhere you want,"
"…?? Why??"
"You asked me 'why'? You've walked me home and now, you didn't have any business with me again. So, what's the point of staying here?" asked Tsukimori with a cold tone.
"Hmm, you have a point. I don't have any reason to stay here. But..."
"…?"
"If I said that I still have a business, may I stay here?"
"What—?"
"I still have something I want to do. If you asked me 'what's the point of staying here', maybe that was the answer,"
Tsukimori silenced and couldn't say anything. When he felt Kaji's hand touched his hand, his hand stiffened and his mind went blank. Tsukimori was too afraid to looking back. He didn't know why but, he didn't want to show his nervousness and worsen the situation with his sarcastic words.
"Your hand is so cold," whispered Kaji.
Tsukimori's heart beat faster and he couldn't do anything besides feels the warmth of Kaji's hand, which holding his hand completely.
"… Tsukimori-kun, please look at me. I want to see your face," whispered Kaji on Tsukimori's ear.
Tsukimori felt his body going numb and can't think any way to escape from the blonde's grasp.
"Tsukimori-kun," again, Kaji called the blue haired violinist's name.
For the third time, there's no answer from the fellow teen.
Kaji watched Tsukimori's back and touched Tsukimori's cheek from behind. He made Tsukimori looked at him and when he can see the violinist's face, he kissed Tsukimori's cheek softly.
Tsukimori froze in shock and Kaji continue to Tsukimori's lips.
Seconds later, their lips separated and Kaji released Tsukimori from his embrace.
"That was my reason to stay here, I think," whispered Kaji while smiling to Tsukimori.
After Tsukimori heard those words, his face turned red and he pushed Kaji away.
"Don't joke with me," said Tsukimori angrily, with his red face. Then, he walked into his house, left Kaji who still standing in silence.
Kaji was too shocked. He never thought that Tsukimori can give him that kind of expression.
'I never know that he's so adorable when he's blushing,'
'Is it because he always looks sullen?'
Kaji silenced in his deep thought. Then, he giggled in contented expression.
"As I thought, he's an interesting person," mumbled Kaji.
'At first, I wanted to give him triple payback for the kiss on my birthday, but…'
'I think, tonight's present is the best Christmas present I ever had,'
Kaji looked at the starry sky in that Christmas night.
'Well, I bet he couldn't forget this present as well,' thought Kaji. Once again, he giggled and smiled to himself in contented looks.
