I had the most fun with this one. If you haven't heard the song, I highly recommend it. You'll see why I chose Bakura as the one to "Not Know About Christmas". Anyhow, Enjoy!
What is Christmas?
"You know? I think it's finally sinking in." Bakura said from where he sat on the rug, his back to the wood stove that filled the room with heat.
"You sure this time?" Ryo asked, looking up from where he sat in Bakura's lap, holding the cup of hot chocolate in both hands.
After coming inside, Yugi had gone and made some hot chocolate for everyone. Once that had been done, they had all decided to gather in the living room where the wood stove gave off enough heat to keep the chill of the night away.
"Positive…I think…." Bakura replied. Shifting his boyfriend so that he was now sitting on the rug, Bakura got up and began pacing in the center of the room before spinning around to face them.
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?
TINSELED FAIRYTALES
DAY OLD STOCKINGS LINED UP IN A ROW
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS
COULD SOMEONE TELL ME THAT?
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?
SURELY, I DON'T KNOW
AND EVERYWHERE THESE LIGHTS
WHO NEEDS TO COLOR NIGHT?
COULD THIS WHOLE THING BE PLANNED?
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THIS CHRISTMAS
TREES WITH COLORED LIGHTS
UNDERNEATH THEY STILL ARE ONLY TREES
DO YOU THINK THAT ONE DAY PERHAPS THEY MIGHT
FIND THAT CHRISTMAS
IS KIND OF A DISEASE?
EVERY YEAR IT'S WAITING FOR ME
WAITING FOR ME
EVERY YEAR IT CONSTANTLY DEFIES
PLACING STRANGERS
THERE BEFORE ME
THERE BEFORE ME
SPREADING HOPE AND CHEER
MIXED IN WITH HAPPINESS
FRATERNAL BLISS AND OTHER CHRISTMAS LIES!
AND THERE'S ONE MORE THING THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED
AND I WOULD NOW LIKE YOU TO KNOW
THE REASON FOR CHRISTMAS I NOW REALIZE
IS AN EXCUSE TO TOLERATE SNOW
SNOW!
I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE SOUND OF IT
ANYWAY, WHERE WAS I
OH, YES!
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?
CANDLES EVERYWHERE
A FIRE HAZARD ANY OTHER DAY
CHILDREN LIGHT THEM
NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE
ALL FOR CHRISTMAS
EVERY YEAR IT RETURNS HERE
AND EVERY YEAR IT'S WAITING FOR ME
WHY CAN'T CHRISTMAS DISAPPEAR
AND JUST PRETEND IT NEVER SAW ME
EVERY YEAR I GET MY HOPES UP
THAT IT WILL SOMEHOW JUST LEAVE
BUT EVERY YEAR I WAKE TO FIND
THAT ONCE AGAIN IT NOW IS CHRISTMAS
EVE
Everyone stared at Bakura before Ryo sighed. "That's it, I give up. If anyone else can explain it to him, you'll be my hero."
"I thought it was pretty good." Malik said, earning a cuff from Marik in the process.
"That's nowhere near what Christmas is supposed to be, even you know that." Marik said, shaking his head at his darker half.
"You'd have better luck teaching a dog to sing than to get the meaning of Christmas across to him." Atem put in, ignoring the attempted glare from Yugi at the harsh comment.
"If you all are going to fight, I'll toss you all out." Yugi threatened half-heartedly. Though everyone knew he would never really do it, the comment made everyone in the room fall silent for a few moments.
