Atsuki: Hey we're back with another chapter, thanks so much for the
reviews, I was so happy to see you hadn't given up on me.
Ryo: I think you're gonna like this chapter and just to warn you Kazu acts like a real prick in future chapters.

Chapter 7: Twas the Night before Christmas
"That was great huh?" yelled Shuichon as they stopped at Ryo's car, "So did you guys catch anyone special under the mistletoe?"
The boys both blushed remembering the 'incident' in the garden, a little while before. Ryo sent a wary glance at Jenrya wondering what the younger boy was thinking. 'Oh my God! Why the heck did I do that?!' thought Ryo, 'Great! Now he probably thinks I'm a pervert or something,' Jenrya meanwhile kept telling himself that the kiss was just because they were under the mistletoe, nothing more. Shuichon frowned at the uncomfortable silence.
"Come on you two! It's nearly Christmas, what's up with the seriousness," she grumbled hoping into the back. Ryo watched, hurt, as Jenrya got in the back beside her. He'd really screwed up this time. Ignoring the stabbing pain in his chest, the brunette slid into the driver's seat and started the engine.
"Well I'm off the bed, I'll leave you two alone," said Shuichon as soon as they got into the apartment. The two boys glanced at each other warily as she shut her door. After a while, Ryo couldn't stand the silence, he had to say something.
"I'm sorry," blurted out Ryo before he could stop himself.
"Sorry for what?" asked Jenrya confused.
"For kissing you," replied Ryo blushing and then added in a rush, "I know I shouldn't have done it and made you feel all awkward but it was tradition and I didn't think you'd really mind. I'm so, so sorry Jenrya and I hope we can still be friends. I'd hate to lose my best friend over a stupid mistake I made,"
"Of courses we're still friends and I didn't really mind the kiss," assured Jenrya then paused and asked, "Did you just call me your best friend?"
Ryo nodded, feeling his heart flutter as the younger boy's eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face. Ryo couldn't help but smile back. He gently grabbed the bluenette's arm and tugged him over to the couch. Pushing the confused boy down onto the seat, Ryo walked into the kitchen and came back with two spoons and a tub of chocolate ice-cream. Jenrya's eyes widened as Ryo came and sat down beside him, handing him a spoon.
"I heard chocolate ice-cream can be a great healer," explained Ryo grinning, "So why don't we have some and when you're ready you can tell me your problems,"
Jenrya stared. Ryo still wanted to know what was wrong with him; most people would've dropped it by now. He blushed slightly at the older boy's concern and huddled closer to him. As they began digging into the ice-cream he felt Ryo's arm go round his shoulders.
"It wasn't really anything. All the kissing couples just reminded me of my own love life and how I seem to get my heart broken all the time. Dumb, I know but I can't help it," said Jenrya looking down at his lap.
"You wanna tell me about it?" questioned Ryo gently.
"Well.." murmured Jenrya hesitating slightly, "Promise you won't laugh okay?"
"Never Jen-kun," promised Ryo flashing him a breath taking smile.
"Okay, my latest girlfriend as you know was Ruki who stuck with me for two years before ditching me for Kazu," began Jenrya feeling Ryo's arm around him tighten at these words, "I had two girlfriends before her. My first was called Maria. I wasn't very smart back then and fell for her looks. After a month she dumped and totally humiliated me in front of the whole school. It turned out she only dated me because of a bet she'd made with her friend. The second was called Kirsty. She was smart, nice and quiet but then I found out she only became my girlfriend for my martial art skills. She wanted me to make everyone who'd ever made fun of her pay to prove I loved her. I didn't of course...I couldn't."
Ryo looked at Jenrya sadly and asked, "Did you love her? Did you love any of them?"
"Not really, I mean I did care about them but I don't think I ever really loved any of them, Ruki came close but I was more hurt because she'd been my friend," replied Jenrya after a while, "My mom used to say you'd know when you fell in love you'd know because that person would make your whole world feel complete and make you feel that you'd been touched by something magical,"
"She's right," murmured Ryo absentmindedly.
"You've been in love? Really and truly in love?" asked Jenrya curiously, "With who?"
"It's a secret," replied Ryo grinning slightly.
"Okay, well do I know them and if I do how well?" asked Jenrya determined to figure who had stolen the older tamer's heart.
"Well." Ryo paused choosing his words carefully, "Yes you do know them, better than anyone else except maybe for me,"
"Hmmm," Jenrya frowned concentrating hard and then with a look of dread on his face said, "Please tell me it's not Shuichon!"
At this the brunette burst out laughing and gathered up the spoons and ice- cream returning them to their proper places, namely the freezer and sink. Jenrya pouted making Ryo think for the millionth time how adorable the younger boy was.
"No, it's no Shuichon," assured Ryo still grinning.
"You're not gonna tell me are you?" asked the younger boy, annoyed.
"No, as much as I hate to see a pretty thing like you so sad, the name of my love will have to remain a secret..for now," said Ryo smiling mischievously.
"So you're gonna tell me some other time?" said Jenrya looking a little brighter.
"Sure pet but only if you're good," replied Ryo teasingly. The bluenette pouted again and crossed his arms.
"What's with all the nicknames?" asked Jenrya pretending to be annoyed but really enjoying the way they made him feel.
"What's wrong? You don't like them?" asked Ryo smirking. Jenrya almost melted at the predatory look Ryo was giving him. The older boy decided now was a good time to make his move.
"I.um." stuttered Jenrya pinned by the older boy's gaze. Ryo turned slightly to face the younger boy and gently pushed him so he was lying back on the sofa. The brunette's hand drifted over to Jenrya's cheek and he smiled down lovingly at the younger tamer. The younger boy felt his breath catch in his throat.
"Jenrya I-"
Just then the telephone rang and Ryo silently cursing got up to answer it. Jenrya sat up trying to calm his beating heart and put on Lord of the Rings to distract himself from wondering what Ryo had been about to do. After a few minutes Ryo put down the phone and came back to see Jenrya watching the video intently. He smiled and went into the kitchen. He came back with a bowl on popcorn, sat down and passed it over to Jenrya. Halfway through the film Jenrya felt his eyes start to close.
"Tired Jen-kun?" whispered Ryo making the younger boy shiver.
"A little," he admitted.
"Why don't you lie down?" suggested Ryo.
"Bedroom's too far and you're on the couch," replied Jenrya with a yawn.
"So?" asked Ryo and pulled them younger tamer down so his head was in the brunette's lap, "There problem solved,"
"You have a strange way of solving problems," murmured Jenrya sleepily enjoying this closeness with the older boy.
"Let's get you to bed," said Ryo when the movie finished. He switched off the TV and Ryo picked up Jenrya, cradling the younger boy in his arms. Jenrya mumbled something incoherent and snuggled closer to Ryo.
"So cute," whispered Ryo as he carried the boy to his room and laid him gently on the bed before pulling the covers over the younger tamer.
"Goodnight night my angel," whispered Ryo faintly as he got into the sleeping bag and gradually fell asleep.
"No not Terriermon...please..TERRIERMON NO!!!!"
"Jenrya wake up," said Ryo shaking him. The younger tamer sat up eyes wide, sweating with fear. Ryo sat down on the bed and pulled the smaller boy into his arms murmuring gentle reassurances. Jenrya buried his face in the brunette's warm chest and tried to calm down. After a while he reluctantly pulled away from Ryo to look into his cerulean blue eyes.
"I have these nightmares sometimes. Just stupid stuff really..losing Terriermon..my friends...my family..being left alone. I guess I'm just weak," whispered Jenrya a tear sliding down his cheek. Ryo reached over and wiped it away.
"You're not weak Jen-chan," said Ryo pulling the younger boy once more into his arms and holding him tight.
"Sleep beside me.please," asked Jenrya cuddling closer. Ryo nodded rocking the younger boy gently before lying down beside him in the bed. He kept his arms wrapped around the younger boy who clung to him like a security blanket.
"Go to sleep pet," said Ryo placing a soft kiss on Jenrya's forehead. The younger tamer blushed and buried his head in Ryo's chest trying to hide it. He murmured a goodnight and slowly fell asleep in the older boy's arms. Ryo smiled, thinking how beautiful Jenrya looked before joining him in dreamland.
Atsuki: I hoped you liked this, I meant to make it longer then decided nah I'd save it till the next chapter.
Ryo: (annoyed) and when do my Jen-chan and I get together?
Atsuki: Next chapter stupid!
Ryo: Oh...YES!!!!!!!!!! *dances around throwing Jenrya plushies at the reviewers* Keep reviewing people!
Atsuki: *sweatdrops*
Ryo: I think you're gonna like this chapter and just to warn you Kazu acts like a real prick in future chapters.
