Chapter 2 isn't here~ what you're reading now is just a hallucination of your own mind! •-• ..... I don't own junjou romantica at all so let this imaginary chapter start if possible~~~

Misaki POV

I couldn't help but smile the whole time I walked home, it had taken less time than I had initially thought it would to pick out the perfect gift for my silver haired lover.

Maybe I can make Usagi a late lunch if he hasn't already eaten yet, that would be nice.

I suddenly felt my feet slide from underneath me, and the sudden momentum of falling backwards. I sighed, slightly annoyed as I got myself out of the pile of snow I had fallen into. I looked to see that I had slipped on ice.

At least the snow was soft...

I shivered after brushing the snow off of me, I couldn't wait to get back home and be by Usagi's warm side. I sped up my walking pace, I was already almost home and the cold was starting to creep into me. I bumped into someone, I would have fallen into the snow again if the person hadn't caught me.

"Ah sorry... Usagi?!?"

I looked up at my silver haired lover in surprise, I hadn't expected him to go outside in the snow for no reason. The smile I had faded when I looked into his soft lavender eyes, Usagi wasn't happy.

He's not mad at me for bumping into him, that I know. So why doesn't he seem too pleased?

"Misaki where were you?"

Usagi's tone made me feel uneasy, it was laced with worry. I hated how Usagi seemed to be feeling so on edge at the moment.

Usagi what's wrong?... Didn't I say I'd be at work?

"I was at work Usagi, you don't have to worry"

I smiled happily, I didn't like lying but I really did not want Usagi to find out that I was getting him another Christmas present.

My sliver haired lover's strong arm gripped my wrist, not painfully, but firmly pulled me towards his side, lavender eyes swirling with hurt. I didn't understand why Usagi seemed to be so upset.

Why are you so sad?....

"Misaki please...."

I cocked my head to the side in confusion, I had absolutely no idea as to why Usagi seemed to be acting so strange.

"Usagi I don't understand, can you please tell me what you're talking about?"

I whispered softly, the cold felt as if it was bitting me, I really wanted to take our conversation inside, away from the nipping cold. However I didn't want to bother my silver haired lover with my silly request, especially since he seemed to be acting so strange.

"Misaki where were you... Your work called and you weren't there..."

I froze at Usagi's words, I hadn't expected something like this to happen. I had hoped that everything would play out perfectly with no problems at all.

I should have asked people at my work to cover for me.... No that would have been a bother for them...

"Ah sorry... I had forgotten that I didn't have work so it took a while to walk there and back because of the snow"

I felt slightly annoyed that Usagi wasn't buying my excuses. I really wished that Usagi would stop prying, I didn't want to ruin the surprise of his Christmas present.

I want to see your happy smile tomorrow when I give you your gift Usagi.

Usagi held me closer towards him and tilted my chin so that I was gazing into his lavender eyes that were still filled with unease. I then remembered that we were both outside, in public where other people could see us. I struggled to get out of my silver haired lover's hold, however I was unable to.

"Misaki please tell me... I was worried about you, it doesn't take that long... So you must have been side tracked or left later than when work usually starts..."

Usagi's voice was filled with hurt, I hated seeing him so worried, what I hated more however was that I was causing the one I love to worry.

I love you so much, nothing bad happened, I don't want to ruin your surprise... Yet I don't want to hurt you..

"Usagi... I can't tell you but trust me, I'm okay, nothing happened. I just had to do something"

I smiled happily, wanting the sadness in my lover's lavender eyes to dissipate into non-existence and replaced with his normal kind gleam.

"Misaki please..."

What?....

I suddenly felt sad, Usagi didn't believe me, he thought I was lying.

I know I was lying before but I'm not right now... Can't he trust me?....

"Usagi I'm not lying... I'm telling the truth"

The look of worry still didn't leave my lover's lavender eyes, it hurt to know that he didn't believe me, we were lovers right? Lovers should believe in each other.

Usagi...

"Misaki please tell me the truth"

I slipped out of my coat and ran away from Usagi, I knew that he'd eventually make me spill my reasons for going out today.

Sorry Usagi, but I'll return in a bit... After you've settled down a bit... Right now you're too filled with worry to listen to much reason.

I stopped running after a while to catch my breath, the cold air seeping into my lungs as I panted stung. I felt foolish for leaving my coat behind.

Great.... Outside in the middle of winter without a coat or mittens... Why did I act so rashly?!

I sighed before I blew into my hands then rubbed them together, my fingertips were red from the cold. I frowned, I knew that if I stayed outside for long I'd get sick.

"Oi Misaki what are you doing dressed like that out here in the cold?"

I looked over in surprise to see Sumi-sempai jogging over to me, he was dressed for the cold, unlike me. I smiled and waved towards my friend.

"Ah things happened"

Sumi-sempai chuckled lightly and ruffled my hair, a sly smile was played across his face.

"I bet it's Usami-San"

I felt my face turn slightly warm at the mention of Usagi's name, I was glad it was cold enough for me to have an excuse to have red cheeks.

"N-no ... You've got it all wrong..."

Sumi-sempai can be so mean teasing me about Usagi sometimes... Maybe he mentioned Usagi because he'd prefer to see him over me.

"Misaki stop frowning, anyway I don't think you should be outside too long dressed like that. You want to come over? Or you could go back to your own house, I'm not letting you stay out in the cold."

Sempai sighed as he took off his scarf and placed it around my neck, I was grateful for the warmth and happy to have such a good friend. I still don't know why Usagi hates him, sure there was that one time but Sumi-sempai is generally a nice guy.

I sighed, I didn't want to return home so soon yet I knew that if Usagi caught me with Sumi he wouldn't be very happy at all. It would make him more upset, and more worried about me.

If only Usagi wasn't so complicated at times... Well I kind of like that about him..

"Ah thank you for the offer, I think I should be getting back home then"

Sumi nodded, a smirk existent on his face.

"I see, I guess Usami-San would be mad if I was spending Christmas Eve with his little Misaki"

I blushed at Sumi-sempai's words and looked away embarrassed. He did have a point, today was Christmas Eve, a special day when couples were supposed to be with each other.

I really should head back to Usagi....

"Well I've got to go sempai, I'll see you later I guess!"

I smiled before I ran away from him, not before returning his scarf however. I wanted to see Usagi, to apologize for lying at first and to ask him to trust me.

I'm sorry for worrying you Usagi

Usagi POV

Now paranoid and worried about my Misaki, I quickly grabbed my coat and boots, I needed to look for him. Not only for my own worries but for his safety as well, I couldn't bare to think about what had happened to my Misaki for him to miss out on his work.

Misaki.... You better be okay when I find you... No, you will be okay when I find you..

It made me uneasy when I thought of the time period that my Misaki had been missing for, so many things could happen to him in such a short span of time.

I shook my head so as to not think of anything terrible happening to my Misaki as I ran through the deep snow, unfortunately my red sports car wouldn't plough through the snowy roads.

Why can't people do their stupid jobs and keep the roads clear?! Important times like this is when I need my car!

I hadn't run far when I noticed a familiar brown haired boy trudging through the snow quickly, it was my Misaki.

I felt relief envelope me at the sight of him, he didn't seem to be hurt at all, just cold. It surprised me when, instead of stopping he walked right into me.

He must have been deep in thought or something..

I grabbed my lover's slender hands before he managed to fall into the snow.

"Ah sorry... Usagi?!?"

Misaki... I was so worried....

Misaki looked up at me, emerald eyes swirling with surprise as he recognized me. I suddenly remembered how Misaki had lied about work.

Where was he?..

"Misaki where were you?"

You have no idea how scared I was when I thought you were missing..

It made me uneasy thinking that something bad happened to my Misaki even if it didn't look like it, I knew that my caring lover liked to keep things to himself 'for the sake of others'.

"I was at work Usagi, you don't have to worry"

Misaki... Why are you lying?...

My Misaki smiled happily, it made me sad that he was lying to my face when I knew the truth.

You didn't go to work... What happened? Is it something that you don't want me to worry about like usual?...

I took my Misaki's slender wrist within my grip, not too tight as to harm him, just tight enough to ensure no escape for him. I hated the pain I felt when my Misaki lied so bluntly towards me.

Did someone harm you? Are you too afraid to make me worry about you?...

"Misaki please...."

I watched as my Misaki adorably cocked his head to the side in confusion, his shimmering emerald eyes told me that he truly didn't know what I was talking about.

"Usagi I don't understand, can you please tell me what you're talking about?"

Are you trying to lie again?... I don't know...

My Misaki's voice was soft, he seemed to be slightly cold. I wanted to take my lover back home to warm up, however I was worried that our conversation wouldn't be brought up again if I did so.

"Misaki where were you... Your work called and you weren't there..."

It hurt to see my Misaki freeze at my comment, the smaller boy seemed shocked.

So he was hoping that I wouldn't find out about him not going to work....

"Ah sorry... I had forgotten that I didn't have work so it took a while to walk there and back because of the snow"

Misaki you're lying again... I saw you freeze before? What do you have to hide?... You wouldn't do anything bad on purpose but... Others can easily take advantage of your kindness..

I really wanted to know what my lover had been up to, I wanted to ward away all of my worries about what he might be hiding from me.

Please tell me so that I can feel at ease knowing that you truly were perfectly fine...

I held my Misaki closer towards me and tilted his chin so that his emerald eyes were gazing into my own. I loved him, so I couldn't help but worry about him. After a few seconds of gazing my Misaki began to fruitlessly struggle against my hold.

"Misaki please tell me... I was worried about you, it doesn't take that long... So you must have been side tracked or left later than when work usually starts..."

It hurt, not knowing if my Misaki had been harmed or not. I wished that I had kept him locked away to my self, however I knew that would result in scaring my love away.

I love you... I worry about you, so please, tell me where you were, if only to ease away my worries..

"Usagi... I can't tell you but trust me, I'm okay, nothing happened. I just had to do something"

My Misaki's beautiful smile didn't make my worry wane at all, he usually smiled when he was hiding something from me.

"Misaki please..."

I'm worried..

I knew it was unfair to not believe in Misaki, however he had already lied twice recently. I knew they weren't meant to hurt me but they still did.

I just want to know Misaki... Why are you so insistent on no telling me?..

"Usagi I'm not lying... I'm telling the truth"

My Misaki's kind words didn't cease my worry in the slightest, I just wanted to know one simple thing, yet my lover was refusing me a simple answer.

Misaki...

"Misaki please tell me the truth"

It surprised me when the smaller boy slipped out of his coat and sped away, I stood there in shock.

Why did he leave me?.... What about his coat?.. It's freezing out here! He needs his coat right away!

I followed my Misaki's footprints for a while, I cursed slightly when I saw his footprints cross with many others. It delayed me quite a bit as I I'd my best to distinguish my lover's footprints from the others. Thankfully after a while I succeeded.

Misaki... You're probably freezing... I hope you entered a store or something, at least then you'd be warm..

I could feel the coldness start to nip at my face, it only strengthened my resolve to find my sweet Misaki.

Whatever cold I'm feeling right now, it blunt to feel even worse for my Misaki if he's still outside somewhere.

I frowned when I turned around a corner to see Misaki talking to that Sumi brat. I wanted to pull my Misaki away but I didn't.

Maybe listening in will allow me to find out what's up with Misaki..

I could tell that my Misaki blushed while talking to the brat, even though his face was already red from the cold I could always detect my lover's blush.

"N-no ... You've got it all wrong..."

My Misaki whined, it annoyed me how he whined to others besides myself.

It seems like they happened to meet by chance because they're just standing there..

"Misaki stop frowning, anyway I don't think you should be outside too long dressed like that. You want to come over? Or you could go back to your own house, I'm not letting you stay out in the cold."

You better not go with him Misaki!

I watched the brat sigh as he wrapped his scarf around MY Misaki's neck, it annoyed me to see someone so close to my Misaki.

"Ah thank you for the offer, I think I should be getting back home then"

Good... It's cold out here...

The brat nodded, a smirk existent on his face.

"I see, I guess Usami-San would be mad if I was spending Christmas Eve with his little Misaki"

I would be more than mad..

My Misaki blushed adorably at the brat's words as he looked away embarrassed.

I don't want you showing your cuteness to anyone but me...

"Well I've got to go sempai, I'll see you later I guess!"

My Misaki returned the brat's scarf then began to run my way, I hid behind a corner to allow my Misaki to pass me. I smiled, at least my Misaki was heading home so he wouldn't catch a cold.

I guess I better get home as well, should I try to beat him there? Or not?

Me: that's the end of the chapter~~

Misaki: Sumi sempai so kind

Usagi: ......

Me: hehe ^_^ I bet ya wondering why I only did a Christmas special instead of doing specials for all holidays~

Misaki: what's the reason?

Me: .... I ... Don't really care much for many holidays... I'm what a lot of people say 'no fun at all' XD

Usagi: ah

Misaki: oh....

Me: anyway hope ya enjoyed the chapter~~~
