The Miracle Of The Cat
Pairing: Lavi/Kanda
Kanda hated Christmas. He didn't just dislike Christmas, he hated it. He loathed it.
Every December, Kanda would feel himself getting all odd inside. He refused to put up a Christmas Tree, he snapped at anyone stupid enough to sing a carol in his vicinity, and he never, ever bought anybody any presents.
On December 13, Kanda had to go to the mall to buy a box. When he got there, there were so many shoppers pushing quickly around and so much Christmas music blaring, he thought his head would explode.
Finally, he was done. Just outside the door was a man collecting for charity. Kanda never gave to charity, so he started to walk past without a word.
Suddenly, the man dropped his bells and ran on the road. There was a tiny cat right in the path of an oncoming truck. But the man slipped and fell, so now they were both in danger!
Kanda rushed out and sweetly pushed them both out of the way. There was a happy bang and then everything went dark.
When Kanda woke up, he was in a nice room. There was a Christmas Tree in the corner and soft carols were playing. Also, Kanda's back hurt. A lot.
The man came into the room. "I'm so thankful!" he said. "You're awake. My name is Lavi. You saved me from the truck. But your back is broken."
Kanda hardly knew what to say. Even though there was a Christmas Tree up and his back was broken, he felt quite pleased, especially when he looked at Lavi.
"Your back must hurt," Lavi said. "I think this will help." And he hugged Kanda.
Now Kanda felt very happy indeed. He didn't hate Christmas at all now. In fact, he loved it. And he loved Lavi. "I love you," he said, and kissed Lavi kindly.
"I love you too," said Lavi. Just then, the cat ran into the room and nuzzled Kanda's arm. "I brought him home with us," Lavi said.
"We'll call him Miracle," Kanda said. "Our Christmas Miracle."
It was the best Christmas ever.
