A/N: Ok, so yes, this isn’t exactly a chapter, but I have a slight writer’s block, and I couldn’t get
this idea to stop pestering me (honestly, it wouldn’t even let me sleep!) So, since the holidays are
upon us, I decided to bake this cookie. Enjoy. (Yes, I even did research for this ficlet. In Japan,
they do celebrate Christmas, but it is basically a commercial holiday, very close to Valentine’s
day as I understand it.)
A Christmas Interlude
Every year since his cousin had returned from America, Christmas had become better for
Suguru. Before, the holiday was its usual, commercial self. Gifts given to close friends and
lovers, stores using the time to sell their products and make a dollar before the end of the year.
The first year after Tohma had returned from that far away and foreign country, Christmas was
redefined.
Suguru still remembered the phone call, his cousin asking him is he wanted to celebrate the
holiday together.
‘Mika is visiting her family, she doesn’t believe this is a worthy enough holiday to spend with
her husband,’ the word husband had been slightly changed in its annunciation, twisted ever so
subtly into a word with a meaning of less importance, ‘I have no one to celebrate with this year,
so maybe you would like to...’ he had left his question unfinished, but Suguru had understood and
accepted.
The night had been quaint, a pathetic attempt at making a Christmas tree which ended up
being discarded and replaced by settling down near the fire place with two mugs of hot chocolate.
The two cousins huddled close as they were sharing a blanket, more for the sake of atmosphere
rather than for heat. Tohma told Suguru tales of all the differences in America, and about the true
Christmas.
So the years passed, each December twenty-fifth becoming a little nicer and a little closer to
the traditions of Northern America with the revolution of the earth. The second year the cousins
had a real tree, the third ornaments that had been stored from the previous year were found and
placed upon the boughs of a new tree. Next came lights, tinsel and carols which Tohma had
imported from America. One year brought mistletoe, something Tohma had gotten to enliven his
wife, and which ended in a awkward silence when one cousin tried to enter and the other leave
the kitchen. Soon Christmas became a day to look forward to with anticipation and look back on
with fondness for Tohma and Suguru, it was a constant in their lives.
This time it would be much better than in the past. As eager as Tohma was to spend the
holiday with his cousin, the blond arrived belatedly to Suguru’s apartment. The flat was already
decorated with lights and garlands. The normally avalanche prone piles of music were gone from
the table and couch in the living room, the floors had been cleaned, and the normally dull
residence had been transformed into a decorative and festive apartment.
Suguru was waiting near the door, apprehensive and wearing a red Santa’s hat that Tohma
had purchased for him in a previous year.
“Merry Christmas, Tohma”, Suguru said in greeting, with the nervous, new addition of his
cousin’s first name.
“Yes, Merry Christmas,” the blond removed his winter coat and hat, hanging them on a
wooden coat rack near the door, “I’m sorry for being this late, but my family demanded a proper
amount of my time to be spent with them,” Tohma carefully unsheathed his hands from his form-fitting black gloves and placed the apparel in the left pocket of his coat.
Warm arms encompassed the older man; Suguru embraced his cousin trying to drive the chill
from the outdoors away from Tohma. He returned the hug, pressing their bodies closer together
and smiled.
“It doesn’t matter, you’re here,” Suguru responded, though it did matter, he had been worried
when his cousin had not arrived promptly at the pre-ordained time. He had nervously flitted
around, as he was prone to do. Tohma had called him a humming bird once because of his
fidgeting habit, but the anticipating time of waiting was over and the celebration was starting to
begin.
Suguru looked towards the ceiling, then gently pressed his soft lips to his cousin’s. He had to
stand on his sock covered toes to close the several centimeter distance that height differences
caused. In the range of kisses this one was precisely in-between chaste and sweet, and was soon
over as Suguru shifted his weight back to the balls of his feet, drawing their touching lips apart.
Tohma looked at his now blushing cousin, then up at what had been so interesting before the
impromptu kiss, “I don’t think we’ll be moving from this spot tonight.”
The innuendo in his cousin’s words only caused the teen’s face to continue to redden, “I... I
put it up other places too.”
“Hmm... I wonder where else?”. Tohma Seguchi was a master of wit, sarcasm, and most of
all, feigning innocent, “We should find the rest.”
Suguru copied his cousin’s smile as he was dragged into the opposite room, he close the door
for Tohma, because the blond was most likely going to forget to do so.
It is safe to say that the pair of relatives did not get even one wink of sleep that night, and one
more thing: the room they were in was not the kitchen.

Ending A/N: Ok, so, no PWP, gomen!! But... I haven’t felt up to it. Things are hectic, and I
apologize for not having the next part of chapter three ready. *bows* I wanted to put it up with
this as an extra special present... but everything did not go according to plan. Oops. With any
luck it will be up before the new year! *crosses fingers* Anyhow, happy holidays to everyone!
