Chapter 3
"Come on Max don't fall behind." I said as I noticed the blonde kept looking back.
"S-sorry Ray." He said running up to my side.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked putting an arm around his shoulder.
"N-no everything's fine." He said looking down.
"Oh ok." I said smiling again. I was really excited. We were going to one of the three day holiday festival which was only a short walk from our private house. There would be food, prizes, mistletoe, lights, mistletoe, a fake Santa Claus, mistletoe, and a whole bunch more! They've even got mistletoe! (A/N: In case you were wondering, mistletoe is the little green leaf that if two people stand under, by rules, makes them kiss. No matter who!)
"Ray, where is this Crissmass thing located?" Kai asked as we neared a brightly lit town.
"It's right there in the middle of the town. Can't you tell by all the lights?" I answered pointing.
"Oh so that's what that is. I thought people were burning things with different colored fire." He said yawning afterwards.
I sweat dropped. "How can you even think about that?"
"Ray, are we almost there?" Max asked behind me.
"Yeah don't you see the lights in front of us?"
"Oh so that's what that is. I thought those were brightly decorated houses." Max said putting a finger to his chin thoughtfully.
"Uh Max, that's exactly what it is." I replied turning my head around to look at him weirdly.
"Oh. Yeah, I was just playing." He said half heartedly.
"Uh huh." I was really getting suspicious now. Maybe I should have let the navy haired knucklehead tag along. "Do you want me to call Tyson?" I said as we got even closer to the fake Christmas Town.
He perked up and his face lit up in a smile. "YES!" he practically screamed in my ear.
I took out my phone and noticed Kai was looking at me weirdly. "What? They complete each other." I said laughing a little. Kai smirked and I saw Max blush and slip behind us a little. I pressed the call button and waited patiently for Tyson to pick up. After the third call I was starting to get frustrated. What the hell could he be doing?
(Back with Tyson)
(The Song is called Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger; it's the song on the guitar hero commercial when the girl slides across the floor in just a dress shirt on and socks. Just look it up on YouTube because that's exactly what Tyson is doing)
Tyson slid across the floor. He only had a white dress shirt, some white boxers, and white tube socks. A guitar hero guitar was slung around his shoulder. He held his pose, head looking down and arms and legs spread wide. He suddenly kicked his foot high in the air before spinning around. "JUST TAKE THOSE OLD RECORDS OFF THE SHELF!" The TV roared as Tyson jumped into the air singing along. "I CAN'T LISTEN TO THEM BY MYSELF! TODAY'S MUSIC AINT' GOT THE SAME SOUL!" Tyson stood on the table swinging his hair wildly before jumping off backwards onto the couch. "I LIKE THAT OLD TIMER ROCK AND ROLL!!!!"
(Back with Ray)
"Hmm he's not picking up. He must be too busy cleaning the kitchen." I said snapping my phone shut and putting it in pocket. Max sighed and continued trudging along with us. We finally reached the town and we all stared in amazement at the beauty. It was about 7 o'clock and so it was dark out, making the lights that illuminated the streets as bright as stars. Everywhere you looked people walked with shopping bags, bundled up in winter coats and hats; stores hung bright signs in front of their shops displaying all they had to offer. The streets themselves were an older style of brick and were filled by many of the people who were walking together enjoying the beautiful night. The light snow falling from the sky just added to the beauty.
"This is amazing." I heard Kai say under his breath.
"This is just a part of Christmas." I said smiling widely. "What do you think Max?" I said turning around to look at the blonde.
He was still looking at his feet and I sighed. "It's great Ray. Everything looks fun."
"Come on Max; let's go see some of the town." I said grabbing him by the gloves on his hand.
We started walking and I had to practically force Max to move. He was like a little kid who didn't want to go into the perfume section of a store. "Ray my head hurts." Max said pretending to hold his head.
"Max you're such a faker." Kai said laughing under his breath.
Max stuck his tongue out at him and looked back at me. "Max you're not getting out of this now come on." I said dragging him through the streets. He pouted and tried to keep his feet on the ground so that I was constantly trying to pull him. "Max, come on!" I shouted pulling him harder.
"I don't wanna." He said pouting again.
"Stop acting like a kid and come on." I said pulling harder.
"I'm not acting Ray. I don't wanna be here." He said sincerely.
I sighed. "Why did you say that you wanted to go then?" I asked stopping on the sidewalk.
"Ray just let him go. It's obvious he just wants to be with Tyson." Kai said smiling.
Max turned as red as the lights above his head and I smiled, realizing I hadn't figured that out. "Fine. Just follow the trail and you'll be home in no time."
"Thank you thank you so much! I love you Ray!" he said before speeding off through the crowd, knocking a number of people over at the same time.
I sighed and Kai suddenly wound his arm around mine. "Come on Ray. I want to learn more about Crissmiss." He said smiling at me.
I blushed and nodded. "Ok, come on. I'll show you what people usually eat around Christmas." I said pulling him by his arm. He stopped me and put his gloved hand over mine.
"This way it will be more comfortable." He said smiling and giving my hand a light squeeze. I smiled before leading him into a nicely decorated building.
(Tyson's POV)
I sighed and moved the cursor down trying to decide the next song I would play when I heard the all too familiar sound of the door bell ring. I quickly turned off the game and hid the guitar underneath the couch. I dashed into the kitchen and put a wet rag on the table so that it looked like I had been cleaning up. I ran back to the door and opened it. "You guys are home early." I said smiling.
"Yeah my head was hurting." Max said smiling a little. My eyes widened and I looked at the boy in shock. Oh man this was going to be soooo awkward. It wasn't a full two hours ago that I had tried to kiss him! And he ran! God this was going to be the worst night ever! I put my hands into my hair and clenched my eyes shut. Why me!? Oh crap. Max is still here. I took a finger off of one of my eyes and saw him staring at me.
"Um, my head was hurting too." I said blushing quickly. "Come on in. You look cold." I said letting him walk in. He took off his coat and boots before running upstairs quickly into our room without a word.
"Oh man I totally blew our friendship!" I said to myself burying my hands in my hair again. "I officially suck." I said before closing the door and going to sit down on the couch. I didn't bother turning the TV on and just looked up at the ceiling. I can't believe I blew it.
(Ray's POV)
I opened the door and an aroma of delicious smelling cookies suddenly blew into my face. I smiled and pulled Kai in grinning as I saw him looking around. "What is all this?" he asked picking up a star shaped cookie.
The woman behind the counter slapped his hand with a rolling pin quickly. "Don't touch!"
Kai shook his hand trying to get feeling in it before scowling. I stepped in front of him quickly. "He's just ummm new to all the surroundings." I said smiling.
"Well whatever he's used to keep his filthy hands off of my cookies!" she said shaking a bony finger at me. I sweat dropped.
"Come on Ray lets go somewhere more decent." Kai said putting emphasis on decent.
I nodded before following him out of the store. "Ok sorry about that. Usually people are a lot more into the Christmas spirit around here." I said as we walked down the street. I put my hands into my pockets and tucked my head further into my coat.
"Cold?" Kai said making me look up.
"Uh yeah just a little. I'm not really used to this kind of weather."
"Let's go somewhere warmer. It's getting kind of boring here anyways."
"Alright." I said before scanning the sidewalk looking for inviting stores. I didn't see any and sighed. "I don't see anything."
"What about that place?" Kai said pointing to a brightly lit up building that resembled a fun house.
"Um sure." I said as we started to walk towards it. Once we had gotten close to the door there was a sign that read 'Christmas Play and other activities' in bold letters on a sign near the door. "This is perfect! Come on Kai!" I said before rushing in through the front door. We stepped inside and were immediately surrounded by nice warm air. We walked further in and I gasped seeing how decorated it was. It was a straight hall that went straight down until you were faced with double doors. We walked down the hall slowly and I couldn't have been any more excited. The walls were decorated with Christmas figures such as Santa Claus, Scrooge, the elves, Mrs. Santa Claus, Rudolf the red nosed reindeer and more. Around the portraits were pictures of the play which were surrounded by colorful lights that lit up the brown wood hall beautifully.
"Who are all these freaks on the walls?" Kai said putting his hands in his pockets.
"Those 'freaks' just happen to be some of Christmas' greatest story characters." I said running up to a picture of Scrooge. "This guy right here was terribly greedy and then three ghosts came and said that if he didn't stop he would be lonely forever!" I said getting even more excited. I then ran up to another picture of a bunch of elves building toys. "These guys right here make all the toys that are brought to many kids by reindeer each year!"
"Wait. Deer bring kids presents?" Kai said sounding confused.
I smiled before running to a picture of the reindeer around the sleigh. "Uh uh. These guys help Santa Claus bring toys to children every year!"
"Ok. So this chick right here drives down the street every year with reindeer in her car to hand out presents to random kids?" Kai said pointing to a picture of Mrs. Claus.
"No! That's just his wife." I then ran up to the biggest picture in the hallway which was hanging over the double doors. "This is Santa Claus." I said smiling.
Kai walked up to the picture and just looked at it with an eyebrow raised. He then looked at me. "You're kidding me right?"
"Nope! That's him!"
"Ok so let me get this straight. This fat ass drives down the street with reindeer in his car and with his wife handing out presents to kids that he has other kid like creatures slaving over to make every year and it's celebrated as a holiday?"
I sweat dropped. "Let me explain."
(Tyson's POV)
I sighed and closed the refrigerator with a carton of eggnog in my hand. I walked over to the couch and lie down on my back. I switched on the TV before opening up the carton and taking a chug of eggnog. Max hadn't said anything else to me once he had arrived. He just went straight upstairs and started playing a video game. I asked if he wanted me to join and he said 'one player only'. After that I sighed and came back down here. Now yes 'one player only' isn't a no in capital letters but whenever we played a game Max and I always took turns no matter what. So hearing that just was like a giant smack in the face. Anyways I decided that eggnog would be the only thing that could help me right now. I gulped down some more not really caring as the white liquid fell down my chest. I flipped through the channels for the next ten minutes not really finding anything interesting. By this time I had run out of eggnog as a lot of it was dripping down my chest and stomach and onto the couch. Once again I really didn't care. Have you ever tried drinking something out of a carton while lying down on a couch? It's really hard and I suggest you try it before you talk about me.
(Max's POV)
I jumped and fell into the spikes causing a loud scream to echo from the TV. Again. I couldn't help it but I just kept jumping into the spikes again and again and again and…. Again. I really didn't want to brush Tyson off like that but I really didn't know what else to do. I really don't even know why I came home in the first place if the only thing I would be doing is playing a video game upstairs by myself. I even told Tyson that he couldn't play with me! He probably feels pretty bad when it's really my fault for ignoring him like this. I got up and turned the game off. I was going to apologize even if it killed me. I walked down the hall with my heart pounding like a ton of bricks. Wait, what? Anyways I got closer and could clearly see Tyson sprawled out on the couch. He had the remote in one hand and his other hand was lying on the floor. He looked bored. Almost exhausted. Did I mention he was only in his boxers? Yeah. Big note. He's not making this easy. I got closer to the stairs and could now see some white liquid dripping off of him. It looked so hot I felt my cheeks flush right there. Wait a minute. Is that? Oh god. I tried to get closer only to have missed the first step of the stairs. I sweat dropped in the second I was in the air and suddenly fell down the stairs managing to hit every single step on the way down.
(Ray's POV)
"Ok so this Santa guy 'flies' around in a magical cart breaking and entering into kids home and bribing small children with toys in exchange for cookies that he has other kid like creatures making at this giant warehouse?"
I sweat dropped yet again. "Let's just go inside." I said opening the double doors. We walked through another set of double doors before we finally entered the auditorium. It was gigantic and apparently had already started. "Come on Kai! We need to find a seat!" I said pulling him down an aisle. We looked around for about 5 minutes before we found on seat open.
"Ray why don't we just share that one? You can sit on my lap if you like." Kai said in his usual tone. For that reason I envy Kai. Anyone who had just said that sentence would have at least blushed a little bit. But nope, Kai said it without blinking and he meant it too.
I nodded, grateful that he could see how red my face was. He sat down first and then looked at me weirdly. "Kai I don't know maybe I can just stand-"
He suddenly yanked by my arm and sat me down on his lap. "You dragged me here and plus I want to know more about Knishmas." I sighed before positioning myself so that I was in the middle of Kai's legs. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me back so that my back was against his chest. I looked up at him. "I couldn't see." He said simply.
"Sorry." I blushed before trying to focus on the play. Everything was happening way to fast. After about half an hour I felt my head fall back against Kai's chest. I was really tired and this play was really boring.
"Comfy?" I heard Kai say in an amused tone.
I smirked. "Mnhm." I said before closing my eyes.
Well well well well well well welllll???? Yeah a little longer. A little more fluff. But hey who's complaining? I'm thinking about maybe a lemon or some lime in future chapters so tell me what you think. Should it just stay the same? It's up to the reviewers. Please R&R and stuff like that and I'll see you next chapter!
