A Christmas drabble! Aki is listening to a cover of 'All I want for Christmas' in minor key (pretend its a Japanese version idk)

Asami strolled into the penthouse, pleased to finally be home. As much as he wouldn't deny the workaholic title, spending ninety percent of the last two weeks working was not what he liked doing. Oh no, he much preferred interspersing his work time with far more pleasurable activities involving a little wildcat of his. Unfortunately some rather important negotiations had been underway that he had to attend to personally, especially as he was looking to leave the country for a week.

But now the negotiations were over and the paperwork complete. All that was left was to whisk one Takaba Akihito away for a surprise week long holiday in the tropics.

He paused as he placed his briefcase down on the table and started to remove his leather gloves. Festive music was blaring out from the kitchen giving away his lovers location. With a small smirk in place, Asami silently made his way to Akihito and stopped just inside the kitchen door way.

And there he was, bouncing around the kitchen in briefs and a baggy t-shirt while he sang snatches of whatever Christmas pop song was playing on his phone. Asami took a moment to just watch his lover and appreciate just how at home he seemed in his kitchen. Akihito had recently started referring to the penthouse as home rather than 'the penthouse' or 'Asami's apartment' and this relaxed state just highlighted this change. It filled him with no small sense of satisfaction to see the obvious proof of how far their relationship has progressed in his lovers demeanor.

The song ended and changed across to a far more melancholy sound than he expected. Akihito had been listening to upbeat Christmas songs for most of December but this was very different. Instead of just humming along or sing only snatches of the song, Akihito sang along right from the start. The mood in the kitchen had sobered almost immediately and Asami listened carefully to the lyrics his lover was singing so mournfully. It was a surprisingly heartfelt performance by Akihito and the overall tone of the song gave off an unrequited love feel.

One thing was clear, he had been neglecting his little lover over the last two weeks. Akihito might never admit to it but the emotion he was pouring into this song gave him away.

Over and over the song repeated one line: All I want for Christmas is you.

Asami stalked forward as the song wound to a close and slipped his arms around his lovers trim waist. Akihito jumped in surprise before he relaxed back against his chest.

"Bastard! Don't scare me like that!" Akihito scolded before adding; "Welcome home."

"I'm home," Asami replied, nuzzling into soft blonde hair.

"You're lucky I put enough food on for you too," Akihito grumbled as he continued with the food preparation. Interestingly enough, he didn't try and escape or shoo Asami away like he normally would. Even his tone seemed flatter than usual. "I thought you'd be late again tonight too."

"Yet you still made me dinner every other night too." Asami replied, noting with amusement the pink tint to Akihito's cheeks the comment caused. Akihito grumbled something unintelligible in reply but he was certain he caught the words 'bastard' and 'jerk' in there. "Now, once we have had dinner, you'll need to pack a bag. Light clothes preferably and something to swim in."

Akihito swung around to peer up at him suspiciously. "Why?"

"We are going to Hawaii for a week," he replied, feigning innocence and delighting in the shell shocked expression that adorned his lovers face.

"WHAT?!"

"Merry Christmas, Akihito."

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Akihito exclaimed as he waved his spatula around wildly.

"It was a surprise."

"But..." Akihito looked like he was still struggling to comprehend what was happening. "What about New Years?! I had plans with my friends!"

"They all have passports, don't they? We won't be using the jet on that day, they can be flown over for in time for New Years." Asami said dismissively. He wasn't about to lose his opportunity to spend a week alone with his little wildcat but he could spare the drunkard for a few hours to count the new year in with his friends. He wasn't averse to a drunk Akihito full of goodwill.

"You can't just..." He trailed off as he stared at Asami, clearly at a loss.

"Merry Christmas, Akihito." Asami repeated before leaning in to claim Akihito's lips in a fierce kiss. They were both short of breath by the time they parted and his lovers face was a very attractive shade of pink. The businessman turned to leave the kitchen without another word but smiled as he caught Akihito's grumble just as he passed through the door.

"That bastard! And all I got him was a tie!"
