Thanks for the Gift


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

It was the time of year Christmas. Well, it was not exactly Christmas Day, but about a week before it. Tomorrow would start winter break so Seigaku Chuu students were giving gifts to their friends and special someone. Fuji Syuusuke, tensai of the Seigaku Boys’ Tennis Team, was sitting in his classroom next to his best friend Kikumaru Eiji. Eiji was talking about what he was going over Christmas break with his large family.

“It’s cool that sensei let us have an hour off before school ends,” said Eiji, suddenly.

“People stopped paying attention two days ago,” said Fuji, smiling. Then someone walked into the classroom. “Isn’t that from Taka’s class?” Eiji blinked then nodded.

“I wonder what she’s going here,” said Eiji.

“Uh, Fuji-kun,” said , standing in front of Eiji and Fuji. “Merry Christmas!” She handed him a bag. Fuji smiled and took it politely. It was a scarf with a tennis ball embroidered on it.

“Ah thank you,” said Fuji. “But I haven’t got you anything in return.”

“It’s okay as long as you like, I’m happy,” said , smiling shyly.

“Saa, that just won’t do for a pretty girl such as you” said Fuji, smile widening. blushed lightly. Eiji rolled his eyes at his best friend. Fuji just loves toying with this girl. Eiji knew that had a big crush on Fuji; well everyone and their brother knew that. Fuji knows that too, and he likes messing with her.

“I’m fine, Fuji-kun, really,” said . She turned to leave. Suddenly, the class representative from Fuji and Eiji’s class stopped her.

“You cannot move ,” said the representative, with teasing voice. “You are under mistletoe.”

“Eh? What,” asked. “Can I just go back to my classroom?”

“Someone has to kiss you ,” said the class representative, getting a grin on her face. “Who wants to kiss ?”

“I’ll do it,” said Fuji, smiling.

“What,” asked , in shock.

“Fujiko-chan,” started Eiji to reprimand his friend. Fuji reached and kissed her on the lips. Everyone in the classroom froze and watched as the tensai and a girl from another class kiss. Many of the girls were depressed at the sight of this, oh well; at least Eiji was still free. This went on for about two minutes, until Fuji let go. She was about to run out of the classroom in embarrassment, when Fuji went ahead and kissed her again. She guessed it was no use and let him kiss her.

, FUJI WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE,” yelled the sensei of both Fuji and ’s class. But that fell on deaf ears. Fuji broke away and whispered in her ear.

“Merry Christmas, cutie,” said Fuji. Never there was seen a shade of red like what was on ’s face.

That afternoon when school was over, was walking home. She was completely stunned about before and her face seemed to be a permanent red. Fuji was just playing with her, wasn’t he? But he never did anything without a reason right? Suddenly she was caught it a warm embrace courtesy of the tensai of Seigaku.

“Saa, -san, your gift is keeping me warm,” whispered the tensai, wearing the scarf she gave him. “I hope I did not scare you before.”

“Err, I just wanted to know why you kissed me,” asked .

“Because you are cute and I like you,” said Fuji. “Don’t you like me?” His voice was full of fake hurt.

“You’re so mean Fuji-kun, of course everyone knows I like you very much so,” said , nearly whining at Fuji’s teasing.

“Come now -san I’ll take you home,” said Fuji, his arm around her waist, leading her off.

“Um, Fuji-kun that’s not the way to my house,” said , suddenly.

“I know. We’re going to my house,” answered Fuji, simply. “I’m kidnapping you from your parents for the afternoon.”

“Fuji-kun, you are weird,” said , sweat dropping.

“Thank you,” said Fuji, eye closed and smiling. Fuji captured himself a girlfriend and all because she gave him a gift. This was just the kind of opening he was obviously waiting for. Fuji is too evil. “Do you like pie, -san?”

“Yes,” answered . Who does not like pie?

“Good,” said Fuji. He kept asking her random questions as he led her to his house. When they walked in, Fuji took to the kitchen. He cut some raspberry berry pie from them. She began eating while Fuji stared at her. Then all of a sudden Fuji asks the weirdest question. “How many hours of sleep do you get?”

“Ara? Uh, eight like normal,” said .

“I have been thinking late into the nights about a way to ask you out since I figured out I like you. I knew that you were going give me a gift for Christmas,” said Fuji, blue eyes being revealed. He handed her a gift. “This is my gift to you.”

“A silver necklace,” said . “How did you know…?” Fuji stood up and helped her put it around her neck.

“I know a lot of things ,” said Fuji.

“What else do you know,” asked .

“All will be revealed in due time ,” said Fuji, smiling again. “But for now I think I’ll kiss you again.”

“You think so?”

“I know so.” It was a very merry Christmas indeed for the two new lovebirds.
