It has only been about a month since the two teens had moved into the city, and so far things have been going great. They had a routine that worked perfectly for them, on week days Natsuno would go to work around 6 in the morning and be back by 6 in the evening, once he got home he would head up stairs and wait for his lover to wake by either lying in bed with him or taking a shower. After that Natsuno would feed Tohru then head down stairs to make himself something to eat. After all this they could do anything they wanted until Tohru got sleepy, both heading upstairs and heading to bed, Natsuno getting a few hours of sleep in, until he had to leave for work again.

Today was just like any other day for Natsuno except one thing, it was Christmas Eve. Natsuno, growing up in an anti-religious household was never one to celebrate the holiday, so personally didn't really see what the hype was all about. Tohru however did, earlier in the week he had begged the blue-violet haired teen to buy some decorations and a small fake tree for them. At first the Jinrou adamantly refused, but when the blonde started to pout he had reluctantly given in, taking the Shiki out with him to get some of the festive decorations. It's not like he knew what to get after all, so the blonde needed to help with that. It was after that Tohru began asking Natsuno what he wanted for Christmas, it was then it dawned on the teen no matter what Tohru was going to drag Natsuno into the celebrations weather he liked it or not. The blue-violet haired teen had just given his lover a wad of cash and told him to get whatever in the end.

Today, Natsuno had work, however the shop would be closing early and stay closed until the end of the New Year. Apparently Satsuma had family coming over to celebrate. So when Natsuno walked in, the shop decorated with gaudy cashing colors and a cheerfully singing boss who was wiping down the counter, should have been of no surprise. Her wearing an Elf costume on the other hand was. Her Purple hair was down for once falling down her shoulders in choppy waves and ending at the bottom of her back, a striped green and red pointed hat with elf ears sat atop her head, she was wearing a tea length dress, green with white fur trimmings along with striped tights and white fur boots. Eyes wide in surprise Natsuno stood there for a moment, frozen in shock. Satsuma however heard the door open and when she saw her employee she smiled widely, grabbed a green wrapped present from a shelf and skipped her way over.

"Merry Christmas Yuuki-kun!" she cheered as he held out the gift. Blinking slightly confused, Natsuno looked down at the gift in hand then back up at his boss with a questioning gaze. The purple haired woman giggled at the teen before pushing the present into his arms. "It's a gift! Its for you, think of it as your Christmas bonus yeah?" she explained as she watched him turn the gift over in his hands before finally tearing open the wrapping paper, his eyes going wide once more in shock when he got a look at what was inside. "You said you were going to apply to collage in the spring, and really you can't start college without a laptop now can you?" she said, her smiled growing wider as Natsuno looked at the box that held a brand new limited edition laptop. Natsuno looked back up at his boss.

"I can't take this." He replied, looking back down at the gift. Satsuma shook her head and smiled back at him.

"Of course you can, it's a gift! If it makes you feel any better my husband is the CEO of the company that makes them. We always are getting a few of the new models before they go on sale. When we got this one last month I thought of giving it to you." She explained softly causing the teen to sigh and look back up at her.

"Thank you, I don't know what else to say." Natsuno answered before putting the gift in the satchel he had brought with him to work. Satsuma smiled, happy the teen had accepted the gift before turning to go back to work.

And just like that their day began. Today was busy, busier than Natsuno had ever seen the place, people constantly coming in and out all day long. Some were carrying shopping bags, making a quick stop for coffee or hot chocolate then continue on their way, some stopped to browse the shelves, the blue-violet haired teen had lost count by the 10 how many gift receipts and gift wrappings he had done, by that he just put whatever the customer bought in a festival bag with tissue paper, his wrapping was shit seeing as he had never really done it before. By the time 1 came around and he and Satsuma were closing shop, the violet haired teen was exhausted. After bidding the shop owner goodbye and a happy holiday Natsuno left to go home, walking in the cold air, flurries falling around him. Snowing already huh? He thought absentmindedly as he walked home, taking care to avoid the rushing shoppers who passed him by.

Once home he picked up the package he had ordered a week ago at work before entering his house, shrugging off his winter coat and toeing off his shoes before walking to the living room, placing his bag and package on the coffee table. Sitting down on the couch he took out the gift his boss gave him, eyeing it for a moment before sighing in defeat. It was a great gift after all, but he certainly didn't expect it from the purple haired woman. Opening the box he took out the laptop and charger, plugging the thing in the wall before turning it on. After getting through the opening screen and set up instructions Natsuno fiddled with the device for a good hour, getting to know the ins and outs of that particular model. Damn this is a really good laptop. He thought as he looked over the specifications, including the 1 terabyte hard drive. I'll have to really thank her after New Years. He thought before turning the device off and unplugging it.

Standing up and cracking his neck Natsuno looked over to the clock, noting the time was only 3 in the afternoon. Sighing the violet haired teen eyed the package on the table. I guess I better wrap this then. He thought before going over to the cabinet and getting out the wrapping paper Tohru had bought along with a pair of scissors and tape before walking back over to the coffee table and sat down, placing his supplies in front of him. Now all I have to do is figure out how to wrap it. He thought, biting his bottom lip in thought as he remembered watching his mom do it once before. Laying out the paper before him he set out to mimic what he remembered of her wrapping gifts for his friends when they went to birthday parties. Frowning in concentration he wrapped the paper around the gift, taping the edges together where he thought needed it, and when done eyed the lumpy wrapped box warily his eye brow twitching in annoyance. That…. Doesn't look right. Groaning he tore the paper off before trying again, this time coming up with something that resembled a wrapped ball. Scratching the back of his head in confusion he tried once more only to end up with slightly better result of the first try. Groaning he let his head fall onto the table in frustration, blowing some hair out of his face. Why is this so damned hard? He thought as he eyed the lumpy gift before the tube of paper, noting he only had enough for one more try. Letting out a rather large sigh the violet haired teen sat back up and decided to try one last time, results be damned. This time he took his time, smoothing the folds and creases gently and slowly, and when it was finally done he had a decent less lumpy wrapped gift. Grinning he put the gift under the tree where Tohru had placed his gift for Natsuno a few days ago, eyeing how his lover's gift was perfectly wrapped, even topped with a neat silver bow. Sighing dejectedly the violet haired teen turned around and walked into the kitchen deciding to make himself something to eat instead of dwelling on how poorly his gift was wrapped compared to Tohru's.

After eating a rather bloody piece of lamb Natsuno put his dished away and headed upstairs eyeing the clock on the way up. Still only a little after 5? He thought as he entered his room, Tohru still sleeping soundly despite the clouds of snow that blocked out the sun. He probably won't wake for another hour or so. Natsuno yawned as he entered the bathroom after grabbing a pair of black sweat pants and a baggy long sleeve shirt that hung off his shoulders. Stepping into the shower he let his body relax from the spray of warm water on his exhausted form. After washing his hair and body the teen stepped out and got dressed, noticing that his lover was still sleeping he headed over to the bed before he closed his eyes, deciding to take a nap.

When Natsuno next opened his eyes, Tohru was playing with his hair and peppering kisses on the top of his head as he held the smaller teen close. Blinking sleepily the violet haired teen looked up to see his boyfriend smiling widely at him.

"Hey there sleepy head." Tohru teased, the blue eyed teen only turned to nuzzled the larger teen's chest and yawn tiredly, humming in reply earning a chuckle from the blonde and a kiss on the top of his head.

"Don't want to get up." the violet eyed teen mumbled tiredly, chuckling again Tohru pulled the teen closer to his chest, effective wrapping himself around the smaller body as he nuzzled his boyfriend's violet locks.

"Then don't, we have all night right?" the blonde replied, Natsuno smiled sleepily and nodded in agreement. "How was work?" Tohru asked, making the violet haired teen snort in amusement before pulling away slightly to look up at the Shiki.

"It was Christmas Eve how do you think it went?" he asked sarcastically with a playful tone, making his larger lover laugh. "It was hell Tohru, constantly ringing up an extra receipt and putting books into gift bags because I can't wrap for shit. Then switching off with Satsuma and making drinks. Do you know how picky some people can be about their coffee? This one lady asked if we had a specific bean, then asked me to measure everything I was putting into the cup right in front of her. It took over 10 minutes to make the damn cup to her liking. Everyone after that had given me a tip though, so that was fine." Natsuno recounted, scowling slightly as he thought back to the gaudily dressed older woman. Tohru was laughing and shaking his head in amusement, poor Natsuno, he wasn't a people person to begin with, but dealing with people like that all day? He deserved the week and a half break he got just for that! "Its not funny Tohru" the violet haired teen mumbled, pouting slightly as he glared rather weakly up at the older teen. Stifling a giggle at how cute Natsuno looked pouting up at him, the blonde hugged the teen into his chest so he wouldn't see his adoring smile.

"Sorry Natsuno, but it kinda was. But at least now you're home and don't have to go back 'till after New Years, right?" Natsuno relaxed in his arms, nodding slowly in agreement, making the blonde's smile soften once more. After a few more minutes of cuddling Natsuno reluctantly detached himself from his lover and stretched his arms across his chest, yawning slightly, Tohru sitting up as well. Eyeing the blonde the violet haired teen crawled into the taller teen's lap, hooking his arms around his lover's shoulders. Surprised slightly Tohru gripped Natsuno's waist, watching as the teen exposed his neck and cradled the back of his head, nudging him slightly forward. Getting the hint, Tohru's eyes bled black, his fangs now peaking through his slightly parted lips, kissing the area where Natsuno's neck connected with his shoulder, swiping his tongue over a pulsing vein before sinking his fangs into the supple flesh exposed to him. Letting out a grunt Natsuno leaned his neck further to the side, letting Tohru drink his fill, enjoying the small bolts of pleasure that raced down his spine. When full the blonde licked the area his fangs were previously, kissing the now healed skin before pulling away to kiss Natsuno full on the mouth, taking advantage of the smaller teen's gasp to plunder his mouth, sweeping his tongue across his teeth before tangling with the other's tongue. Mewling into the kiss, Natsuno let Tohru take the lead the kiss, their lips and tongue dancing together, his face heating up from the pleasure the simple action gave him, puling himself closer until their two bodies were flush together, the only thing separating them was the cloth of their shirts. It was Natsuno who pulled away from the kiss, taking in large gulps of air to help catch his breath, Tohru with a small grin on his face. It only took a few more minutes for the too to get off the bed and head down stairs, the blonde pulling his smaller lover by the hand towards the tree in hopes of giving him his present. When he got down there however, he saw two gifts under the instead of one. Letting go of Natsuno's hand he bent down to pick up the gift, turning the messily done wrapped present in his hand before looking up over to his lover, who had his head turned to the far side of the wall, a bright blush dusting his cheeks. 'So cute!' Smiling widely Tohru watched as Natsuno looked over at him hesitantly before noticing his own stare before jerking and looking the other way again in embarrassment of being caught. Chuckling, Tohru reached down to grab his present to Natsuno before sitting down, dragging the other teen onto his lap, laughing as he grunted as he landed. "Natsuno~" the blonde cooed, making the violet haired teen blush further, the flush creeping to the back of his neck as well. Hugging the smaller teen from behind the blonde rested his chin on his boyfriend's shoulder smiling happily. "I'm so happy Natsuno, you got me a gift!" He cheered, making the other teen cough awkwardly in his lap before relaxing into his embrace.

"Well are you going to open it or not?" Natsuno asked quietly. Nodding, Tohru grabbed the gift, pacing it in Natsuno's lap so he could open it, the violet haired teen rolling his eyes as he watched his lover's large hands open the gift he had gotten him. After tearing away the poorly done wrapping, Tohru opened the box revealing an arsenal of games, games that he had back in Sotoba along with a few newer ones that he had been waiting to come out and the newest game system. Blinking rather owlishly, the blonde looked over his gift in awe before gently placing it down on the coffee table. Hugging Natsuno tightly, Tohru turned the smaller teen's face slightly before kissing him heatedly. Moaning into the kiss the violet haired teen let his larger lover, push him onto the couch and crawl on top of him, sitting between his spread legs. Licking the seam on Natsuno's lips, the blonde pushed through just as the other teen was parting his lips gaining entrance to his lover's mouth. Tangling their tongue's together Tohru reached down to grab the blue eyed teen's ass, groping the globes firmly and making his lover moan into the kiss and squirm under him. Grinding down onto the smaller teen, the blonde groaned into the kiss as their clothed groins pressed against each other's. Mewling, Natsuno bucked up his hips. His arms scratching at the taller teen's shirt as Tohru moved against him, creating delicious friction between them. As the blonde continued, he felt his lower stomach tighten, the blue haired teen pulling away to arch his back beautifully as he cried out.

"Ah! Tohru!" Natsuno moaned, his voice a higher octave than normal as he came in his pants, the breathy sound of his name being moaned out pushed the blonde over the edge, cumming in his pants. Resting his head against the younger teen's chest, listening to the sounds of his rapidly beating heart and gasps of air, the blonde smiled before leaning up to cup the violet haired teen's cheek in one hand, leaning down to place a kiss on his lips, gently moving his own slightly coaxing the other teen to kiss him back. When the two broke away again, Tohru pulled Natsuno back into his lap as he sat up, embracing the teen tightly.

"Thank you" he whispered making the other teen chuckle dryly before pulling away to kiss the blonde on the nose.

"If that's the way you thank me, maybe I should get you gifts more often." Natsuno teased, earning a playful growl from Tohru before being pulled back into another gentle but passionate kiss. This time when the two pulled away Tohru shoved his gift in Natsuno's hands.

"Come on, open it!" the blonde said cheerily as he smiled widely at him. Sighing the violet haired teen teared off the wrapped paper and opened the box, ignoring the wet mess currently in his pants in favor of pleasing his lover. Inside lay a folded leather jacket, eyes wide in awe he took the jacket out of the box. It was a long trench coat that came down mid-thigh, a thin leather belt in the middle, the upper back was stitched with a diamond pattern that was repeated on the bottom half of the sleeves, on the shoulders were studded straps too. Folding the jacket back up and smoothing over the leather Natsuno carefully placed the gift on top of the table before leaning forward to kiss his lover on the lips briefly.

"Thank you." Natsuno whispered with a smile, grinning Tohru tackled the other teen to the couch, hugging him tightly.

"Merry Christmas Natsuno." Tohru said as he lean up, looking into his lover's bright blue-violet orbs. Smiling gently the violet haired teen gazed up at the blonde lovingly.

"Merry Christmas Tohru." The Jinrou replied. Grinning, his ruby eyes shining in adoration Tohru leaned down to kiss his lover once more, deeply and slowly, making sure to put his feelings of love and adoration into the kiss, only to be reciprocated fully by the smaller teen.

As the continued to kiss the snow piled outside, neither knowing nor caring for they had each other, and that was all that mattered.
