Small Rewards
"... a partridge in a pear tree-e....." Gackt sang softly under his breath as he tied the ribbon on the tiny package in front of him.
"What's that, Gaku?" Chacha asked, wandering into Gackt's office, munching on an apple.
"Christmas present. You know, 'first day of Christmas' and all that." Gackt stood up and walked out to You's bedroom with the gift, Chacha trailing behind.
"But it's only 12 days of Christmas," Chacha reminded.
"I know, but I've been neglecting him...." Gackt said wistfully as he set the box on top of You's laptop. Then his face cleared, and he turned around to grin at Cha. "Let's go, before we get caught."

You came in from walking Ene-tan. Rubbing his hands over his arms, he shivered and headed for his room. "I should never have gone out without a coat. Dummy," he chided himself.
He walked into his closet and found a sweater; his favorite sweater, a long gray cable-knit cardigan. 'You look like an old man in that,' Gackt had teased. Even Chacha called it his 'old man sweater'. He didn't care; it was warm and comfortable, and he liked it. He happily shoved his cold hands into the pockets, and turned to leave.
"What's this?" he wondered, spying the package on his computer. He sat down at the desk and slowly unwrapped the package. A delighted smile lit his face, and a tear chased down his cheek. Nestled in tissue paper was a little daikon plushie, its green leaves covered by a fuzzy red Santa hat. He just sat and stared at the toy, stroking the fuzzy red hat with his thumb for several minutes. Then he set it down next to his laptop; he would take a pic to post in his diary later.

In the kitchen Gackt was stirring a pot of curry, while Chacha scooped out rice.
You came up behind Gackt and slid his arms around the slender man's waist. "Thank you, Santa," he murmured in the vocalist's ear.
"What makes you think it came from me?" Gackt asked, turning in his lover's arms.
You kissed his cheek. "Because it reeks of Egoiste."
