I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Christmas.

Chapter 14

Soon, the timer beeped and Demyx held up a hand in great enthusiasm, "Time's up, step away from your gingerbread abodes!" He was obviously trying to sound like an announcer from a cooking show but was epically failing, but that's only because he's Demyx and Demyx cannot make an epic announcement for the life of him. So the pairs took a few steps back from their creations that they'd worked so hard for the last half an hour. And Roxas, Sora, and Demyx all took turns inspecting them. It seemed like hours but, truly, it was only a few minutes.

Then, the silence that was killing them all was shattered by Sora's hyper voice. "Well, my vote goes to Riku and Xion!" Roxas rolled his eyes at his twin, "My vote is for Axel and Ari." Demyx stood there trembling, "Oh, come on guys! Did you really have to make me the tiebreaker!?" He obviously did not want to be in this position. "Hey, no will hate you, Dem. Just cast your vote already," Axel drawled, nonchalantly, smirking at one of his best friends.

Demyx sighed, "W-well… Um… I vote… Axel and Ari…" He hid behind Axel, as if afraid Riku would come and attack him. But Riku didn't, he sighed, "Demyx, I wouldn't hurt you. Come out from behind Axel." But Demyx refused and so, eventually, Axel had to move away from Demyx. "Hey, guys, Ari and I have some last minute Christmas shopping do so… See ya all later!" And with that, he grabbed his girlfriend's arm and dragged her out the door. The last thing they heard was Riku yelling after them, "So help me, you better not be taking my little sister on that motorcycle of yours! With her luck, she'll end up in the hospital for Christmas!"
