A/N: I just realized how funny it is that Crona and Kid speak like 4 sentences to each other in the entire anime and so many people love them as a paring (Including myself of course!) It's just funny because they're such a random couple. I guess people like the combination of Kid's sexiness with Crona's adorableness. Anyways~

That night, December 23rd

Kid has the most enormous house Crona has ever seen. He had been inside many times but now that he new he would be living in this mansion it seemed even bigger. Crona held a suitcase with his few belonging to his chest and walked slowly into the manor. It was now 10 pm. Kid and Crona had spent the day convincing Lord Death to let the demon swordsman stay with him. It wasn't so much that Death was worried that Kid could not handle Crona's breakdowns, but that Crona could not handle Kid's. Eventually he did agree that it would be best for both of them to stay together. Maybe they would work out each others problems a bit.

Dark blue eyes darted around the manor, taking in every detail. It looked different some how...Oh the decorations. There were wreaths on both sides of the staircase, gold and red lights and ribbons running along the walls and hanging from the ceiling. A enourmas pine tree stood in the dead center that glowed magnificently from the lights that wrapped around it. Shiny red spherical ornaments hung from the branches. The whole entrance seemed to shine. Kid noticed Crona's fascination with the changes and blushed a bit, making an awkward smile.

"Patty insisted I get into the holiday spirit. So...sorry if it's a bit too much."

Crona's shocked expression didn't change. He stared wide eyed at the tree. Then his lip trembled.

"It's so bright." He said almost painfully.

Kid scratched the back of his head and looked down, a little disappointed. The intensity of the lights and colors must have made him uncomfortable. What a pity, Kid was actually very fond of the decorations. They may not have been perfect, but they did give him that warm feeling Crona gave him.

"I'll take it down in down soon." He muttered.

Crona snapped his attention away from the tree and to Kid.

"W-why? Why would you take it down?"

He turned to the room again.

"It's...beautiful."

Kid then realized his staring wasn't out of fear or disgust. It was a gaze of adoration. Kid chuckled and relaxed a bit.

"I'm glad you like it then."

Kid gave Crona a short tour, he knew were most everything was but there were some places he still hasn't been in the large house. They walked upstairs and Kid pointed down the hall.

"That is where Liz and Patty's room is. If I'm not here, which is not very likely because I rarely can leave those hoodlums alone in this house, they will be right down there if you need anything. As for our room..."

He opened a door reveling the bedroom Crona had grown accustom to over the past few months. It looked about the same from when he last saw it with the exception of a second dresser that Kid had most likely purchased for Crona's belongings.

"This is where you will sleep for now on." He said with a smile. Finally Kid could wake up in the morning and Crona would always be lying next to him.

The pink head walked very very cautiously over to the bed. He extended a shaking arm out and grazed it over the pillow. He looked at Kid anxiously seeming to be asking for permission to touch it.

Kid sighed. "Crona it's your house too now. You can touch your own bed. I won't get mad."

The hand retracted from the bed quickly and grabbed a hold of his other arm.

"I-it's so neat. I don't think I can deal with it."

The shinagami frowned. Crona now only used that phrase when he was really nervous and uncomfortable.

Kid traveled to Crona and put a hand on his shoulder, as he did at that one party so long ago.

"It's okay." He said calmly.

The dark eyes met the gold ones.

"Kid...You're so nice to me. W-why do you do that? Why are you always so nice to me? I-I don't understand." His eyes darted away again but Kid put two hands on each side of his face, forcing him to look directly at him.

"Because I love you."

Crona's eyes widened for a moment, then they looked tired and worn out. He rested his head against Kid's chest and stayed silent. Kid couldn't tell if he was crying or had just fallen asleep. He only stroked the pink hair and kissed Crona's head softly.

Lifting up the skinny figure, Kid carefully placed him on the bed and tucked him in lovingly. He stripped to his boxers, too tired to put on proper pajamas, and crawled in next to him. Crona moved to Kid and buried his face in the crook of his neck.

The shinagami automatically embraced the other and held him close.

They were silent for a moment until:

"K-Kid?"

"Hmm?" Kid mumbled groggily.

"I love you."

Golden eyes snapped open. He bit his lip to keep it from trembling. Saying those three words was one of the hardest things for Crona. This was the first time they were spoken with out any stuttering, tears, or violent shaking. Just a simple yet passionate 'I love you.'

"I love you too Crona. I always will." He whispered.

Crona slept the best he ever had that night.
