CHRISTMAS AU

"And...we're done!"

i cheered after putting the star on the upmost part of the Christmas Tree which is two times taller than me! i jumped happily, landing on the strong, pair arms of Kite before i kissed his nose.

"It's so pretty." he calmly said, putting me down. "Are you tired?"

i nodded, following him into the kitchen. of course, after an hour of intimate intercourse then proceeding into decorating, it will obviously tire me out! this is my first Christmas with my three-year long boyfriend, Kite, that's why i'm very excited! he's usually out because of his Hunter missions and he's currently looking for that Ging person and there's no way i can stop him from doing that.

either way, his time for me is still prioritized that's why we seldom have fights.

"What's this?" i casually said, putting down my phone after checking my e-mail for any client meetings.

"Your favorite...ramen."

i pouted at him as he set the food on the table. believe me or not, this is the ONLY food he can prepare. not cook, he usually buys instant ramen that's why the only thing he'll do is to put hot water in it. he frowned before sitting in front of me, facepalming.

"You don't like it?" sadness and disappointment painted on his voice. as much as i wanted to pretend to be happy, i just simply cannot. i'm really hungry and tired that's why i need to eat something heavier and...healthier? i've been eating ramen for three days straight already.

"I like it, don't worry. But...I'll just prepare something too, okay?"

i said before pinching his nose. i was about to grab ingredients from the freezer, he stopped me in my tracks by putting his arms on my waist before burying his face on the crook of my neck.

"I added an egg on your ramen. Please try it."

"You sounded like a baby, Kite. I'll surely eat it, okay? I'll just have to, um..." how do i put this? "...cook something new."

"Can I help you?"

i nodded before giving him a cheeky smile. "Of course! Here, here, follow me!"

"Open your gift, open it now!"

i cheered like a child in front of him as i gave him my Christmas gift. it's already 12:45 in the morning and we're spending our first Christmas together like a normal couple! i can't help but miss my family too but i guess we'll just have to drop by my house in the afternoon and spend the night with them.

"A...scarf!" Kite immediately wrapped the cloth around his neck and smelling it after. awww man, he looks so adorable!

"A handknitted one!"

"Y-you made this?" he stuttered, eyes shimmering.

nodding, i answered, "Yes, for you!"

he hugged me right after that. i immediately felt the warmth between us even though it is super cold and it's really snowing hard outside. leaving a soft kiss on my forehead, he let go before showing me his gift.

"Your turn."

thanking him, i carefully opened the gift and then i saw a box inside. i opened it, only to see an old book with a withered rose.

"That rose was supposed to be my first gift to you on our first anniversary but since I failed to be with you at that time, I just kept it on that box with that book."

the book isn't just an ordinary book, it's a diary. filled with handwritten entries of Kite...and it's all about me, all about us. starting from the first time we met, how he fell in love with me, our first date, our first kiss, everything is recorded here! and there are stolen pictures of me per entry attached to every page. seeing this made my eyes warm, making the tears i'm trying to hold back fell.

"I..." was all i can say! i'm so speechless and my mind went blank.

"I hope you liked it―"

"Thank you, Kite!" i gave him a jump hug, burying my face into his chest because he's obviously taller than me. i cried on his chest while he caressed my hair, telling me to calm down but how can i calm down when i'm too moved with his gift? this is just so precious! i will keep it forever and there's no way i'll let someone touch this! well, my kids are exempted, i will surely show this to them.

i don't just like it, i loved it! "Thank you, thank you!"

he chuckled lightly, hugging me back. "Merry Christmas, Y/N-chan."

"M-merry Christmas, Kite. I love you. I love you so much!"

cupping my cheeks with both of his rough hands, his silvery eyes bored into mine with a hint of tears in it too. i smiled.

"I love you too, Y/N. Forever," he said before sealing it with a loving kiss.

This is the best Christmas I ever had in my whole life.
