Chapter 43



Kamui couldn't believe he was sitting next to Fuuma...in that damn manor again. Subaru was bustling about the manor flicking his wand to organize things. Seishirou...was nowhere to be found. Hokuto was in the kitchen cooking. When a piece of parchment came through the fireplace, it was Subaru that caught it. “Ah it's from Watanuki and Doumeki…seems they're finally getting married.”

“So have you thought about my question yet?”

“How could I not? It was all I could think about. I could barely function.”

“Got an answer for me yet?”

“I don’t know…”

“Just say yes so you can stop glaring at me, making me go crazy and move to the Chamber of Secrets.”

“Ohohohoho! Well said Sei-chan!”

“HOKUTO WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!”

“Eh? Outside. It's snowing like crazy out there but I just had to run and get a few things for this party, Kakyou's here too. Stop using me as a distraction and answer the question Kamui!”

Kamui fidgeted. He looked over to his sister who was always so independent yet seemed happy now that she had someone to love her. Then there was Subaru who was married to Seishirou for a few years now. They seemed happy enough as they stood pouring fire whiskey and butterbeer. Kamui had nothing to lose, except Fuuma if he didn't say something soon.

“Yes...”

“Sorry couldn’t hear you.”

“You heard me Fuuma, I'm not broadcasting it for the world to hear.”

“Aha fair enough.” Fuuma caught the box his brother threw him. “This is yours then.” The ring was placed on Kamui's finger resulting in Hokuto squealing with delight.

“Well it’s about time that’s all I can say! Ohohohohoho!”

Next thing everyone knew, they were in the dark.

“Lumos.”

“Fast thinking Subaru! What happened?”

“The storm must've knocked out the power. I'll go light the fireplace, Subaru stay here with your siblings. Lumos.”

A second wand tip lit up and there was a kiss to Subaru's cheek as the taller male moved to another room to light the fireplace.

“There, follow us to the grand ballroom; it’s got the biggest fireplace so it will be well-lit.”

“Follow him not me; I'll get lost.”

With the only source of light being the fireplace, there was a romantic atmosphere in the manor. “Well if we’re stuck here, might as well make the most of it. Accio guitar!” Fuuma sat down on the couch opposite of Kakyou and Hokuto with his guitar that had flown over to him. He paused to lock eyes with his brother. “You know, it’s their manor, they should get the first dance. Not only that, they took care of Kamui in my absence.” He strummed a few chords and started to sing but not before Seishirou extended a hand to Subaru who took it.

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

Everyone watched the pair waltz around the room. Hokuto leaned into Kakyou grinning like mad, watching her twin waltz with his husband. Kamui leaned his head against Fuuma’s shoulder and listened to him play and sing, for once to wrapped up in the joy of the moment to curse Seishirou’s hand being so low on Subaru’s back.

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

Fuuma stopped playing and singing when he saw his brother bend down and kiss Subaru. That was expected; he never refused a moment to make Subaru flustered. What happened next WASN’T expected at all.

The cover of the piano’s ivory keys was lifted and his older brother sat down at it, Subaru right beside him, head on his shoulder. “Subaru and I shouldn’t be the only ones having fun, how about the newly engaged couple take to the floor as well?”

Fuuma was in complete and utter shock. The last time his brother played the piano in front of anyone (besides Subaru who asked) was before Kotori's death. Even then, never Christmas music. So why now? Was he finally beginning to learn to love the holiday again?

His fingers started to move across the ivory keys as Fuuma grinned and offered Kamui his hand as his brother started to sing, with Subaru whispering along.

And so this is Christmas (war is over)

For weak and for strong (if you want it)

For rich and the poor ones (war is over)

The world is so wrong (if you want it)

And so happy Christmas (war is over)

For black and for white (if you want it)

For yellow and red ones (war is over)

Let's stop all the fight (now)

Like Seishirou had, Fuuma bent down to kiss Kamui as well. “S-stupid…not out here!”

“Why? Good practice for our wedding.”

“I'll kill you.”

“My little brothers are all grown up, I can cry. Hey Sei-chan! We're all staying here for the night!”

“That's fine with me; Anya prepare two rooms, one for my brother and his new fiancé and one for my sister and her partner.”

“Right away Master Sakurazuka.”

“This is an amazing year Sei-kun and next year will be better, we’ll have a little child of our own.”

“I know, and I owe all of it to you.” A peck to Subaru's lips as he went and sat by his twin, leaving the older of the two to think to himself. 'You just may get me to love Christmas again Subaru.'
