Christmas music filled the apartment, floating through the air and filling every open space it could find. It had been hard enough to get into the mood to decorate, but the added music his significant other just had to have playing only grated on his nerves. It also didn’t help that a certain small terror was tearing down every decoration he was hanging. Fugaku Uchiha was spending more time putting the surprise back up than he was actually decorating. It was getting to be old as he picked up more decorations, he could only thank his lucky stars that they weren’t destroyed by the little monster.
The small orange kitten had been brought home one by his lover, one Minato Namikaze. Fugaku had tried to protest, saying they couldn’t have pets in their condo, but the lie was easily sniffed out and he had slept on the couch while the little terror got to sleep in his spot. It wasn’t that he hated animals, Fugaku didn’t care for cats. And Kyuubi, it seemed, was a little devil. The kitten didn’t behave when Minato was gone, preferring to trip Fugaku and now, mess with his decorations. He cursed as small paws brought the garland off the tree, almost tipping it as the kitten pulled it away with his mouth. Growling, Fugaku pulled the garland away from Kyuubi, the kitten mewling in protest as he placed it back on the tree, out of reach. He hated that he couldn’t decorate the whole tree, but he would sacrifice that if it meant the little terror couldn’t tear up his ornaments. Fugaku cherished the ornaments his grandfather had given him. They were old and handmade by the man himself. If anything happened to them, he wouldn’t hesitate to kick the kitten out, whether Minato made him sleep on the couch for three nights or three years. Seeing that the tree was safe, he turned back to decorating the mantle over the fireplace. When they had first went looking at apartments, Minato had insisted on having a fireplace. Fugaku hadn’t known why until the first night they moved in and his lover insisted they make love in front of it. Fugaku had rolled his eyes, but he played along with the other’s wishes. It had been such a memorable night that they would occasionally make love in front of the fireplace every now and again. Fugaku didn’t know why Minato had insisted he hang stockings on the mantle. They didn’t have children and weren’t planning on having any in the near future. They both knew that one day they would have kids running around, but with them just starting out on their own, it would have been impractical. Financial stability was something Fugaku wanted before they even began the process of finding a woman who was willing to have their babies. Of course, had he stayed with his family, he would have had the money, but not Minato. He would give his lover up for anything in the world. And so with a heavy heart, Fugaku had walked away from a world he was used to and thrown into another that was completely different. At first it had been hard, finding a job that didn’t include retail had been a right challenge. But after gaining his wits about him, Fugaku had been able to find something that was at least respectable. Hanging up the last stocking, Fugaku let out a relieved sigh. That part of the decorating was done and so he glanced at the clock. It was still barely past noon and Minato wouldn’t be home for another few hours. He had time to finish decking out the living room and the halls and possibly have dinner started. It was turning out to be a good day and so Fugaku bent down and picked up a half empty box of decorations, glaring at the kitten who was still eyeing the tree. If the man hadn’t known any better, he would have thought the little monster was intelligent with the way he had his head cocked and was studying the tree. Fugaku wanted to almost accuse him of plotting, but felt foolish at the thought. It was just a kitten. There was no malicious intent on his part. Feeling slightly better, Fugaku walked to the other part of the living room and began to decorate. But as he continued, he couldn’t take the Christmas music anymore. It was just too much and was causing a nervous tic. So Fugaku killed the cd player and decided to turn the TV on. While he couldn’t stand the music, he could work with a movie playing in the background. As he turned it on, he realized there was nothing but Christmas related programs on. They would have to do as he found a random channel and left it there. Fugaku didn’t care about what was on as long as it filled the silence of the apartment. Getting back to decorating, he started to put up the various garlands and tinsel he had left. He was glad that Minato was happy with simple decorations. He had seen some of their friends apartments that were decked out with some complicated ones and didn’t envy them one bit, especially Kakashi who had to go through this torture every year just to please Iruka. The man was all about Christmas and Fugaku couldn’t understand how Kakashi put up with the maniac year after year. All he had ever gotten for an answer was a wide, knowing smile. Adjusting his glasses as he stepped back, Fugaku admired his work on the living room. The red and green garland twisted beautifully together as it wound around the room. Little snowflakes lined around the garland, as if they were dancing and celebrating the season to come. It wasn’t a bad job and he knew Minato would love his attention to detail. It was why Fugaku got stuck with the decorating while his lover went out gift shopping for their friends. Fugaku hated the crowds that came with the Christmas season, preferring to just decorate their home and avoided them altogether. Minato was aware of his short temper around the holidays and preferred to save the human race from his fiery personality. When it came to matters outside of the bedroom, Minato was the more dominant force, reining Fugaku when he saw fit. The Uchiha didn’t mind things were that way, as long Minato knew who he belonged to. He didn’t mind being reprimanded in public, in fact, Fugaku used it to his advantage. It was fun using Minato’s actions against him and some of their best bouts of sex came from punishing the other. It was fun and it just seemed to relieve whatever stress Fugaku had built up. It certainly put into perspective just how devious Minato could be when he wanted to. But Fugaku didn’t mind it, in fact he looked forward to those days because his lover could get very creative. Fugaku sighed as he shook his head at Kyuubi, the kitten had found a new victim but he wasn’t quite big enough to reach the garland that cascaded down the fireplace and stopped just a foot above the floor. Kyuubi was still small and couldn’t jump that high, even with his skills at a cat. Fugaku chuckled when the kittens tail began to swish behind after he sat down and glared up at the shiny garland. Fugaku could have sworn the little monster was planning something, but he paid him no mind as he walked to the kitchen. He had started dinner already, the meatloaf was in the oven while the bread was cooling. He hoped that Minato would be home soon and he wouldn’t have to reheat dinner later. He checked the timer and realized the meatloaf still had a good fifteen minutes. The green beans were boiling in the pot while the rice was already cooked and covered in a glass dish. Fugaku didn’t mind American dishes, Minato was half American on his mother’s side and Japanese on his fathers. But he took after his mother in so many ways, Fugaku had to wonder if the man was a clone. As he cleaned up the kitchen, he was a messy cook, Fugaku thought he had heard one of the bells on the tree jingle. When it didn’t happen again, he didn’t think anything of it and went back to preparing the table. It could have been his imagination since he had listened to a lot of Christmas music that day, starting early in the morning. So when he heard a second jingle, Fugaku had no choice but to leave the kitchen and check on the tree. Just as he entered the living room, he’d gotten there just in time to see Kyuubi fly onto the tree and bring it crashing to the floor. Enraged, Fugaku made it across the room in record time, his stride fast before he stopped at the fallen tree. The ornaments were strewn across the floor, pieces scattered as far as the fireplace. Kyuubi was playing with an unbroken one, purring in content as he darted across the floor. The kitten was anything but innocent in Fugaku’s eyes as he bent down and picked Kyuubi up by the scruff of his neck. He held the kitten an arm’s length away, staring at it. The blue eyes were sparkling as the kitten hissed, his paw striking out to hit Fugaku’s nose. The paw was soft and the small mewl the kitten let out was cute as Kyuubi blinked his eyes, cocking his head to the right. Then the kitten’s paws shot out again, this time grabbing the long ponytail that was laying over Fugaku’s shoulder and pulling it to his mouth, chewing on it as they stared at one another until the opening and closing of a door brought them both out of their staring contest. The sound of shoes being removed filled the air before Fugaku heard the padding of feet on the wood floors. He could tell by the sound and how they seemed to move that it was Minato. He didn’t have time to put Kyuubi down before his lover was in the living room, a blond eyebrow raised at the sight that greeted him. “What did he do now?” Minato asked as he took the kitten and nuzzled the small head, Kyuubi purring in delight at the attention. “The little shi-” Fugaku began but he was interrupted by Minato. “I was talking to Kyuubi,” Minato said with a glint in his eye, Fugaku couldn’t discern what kind of glint it was or how he should prepare for whatever battle was going to ensue. He was going to argue but decided against it as he threw his hands up in the air. “I’ll clean up my mess,” he huffed, turning away from his lover to pick up the tree. It seemed that most of the ornaments had survived, but there was one that didn’t and Fugaku couldn’t help it as he knelt to pick it up tenderly. It was a reindeer his grandfather had fashioned from glass blowing. It was an art the old man had perfected in his mid-twenties and he became world renowned for it. But there were exclusives that he made only for Fugaku, there weren’t anymore to replace the first ornament his grandfather had made him. The reindeer was broken in half right down the middle, it was a clean break, but the glass was clear and any glue would show. “Fugaku...” Minato said gently, placing Kyuubi on the floor as he went to his oddly silent lover. He knelt next to the silent man and gasped when he saw the broken reindeer. Minato knew what those ornaments meant to Fugaku and how anal the other was when it came to their protection. “It’s my fault for putting them up with a kitten in the house,” Fugaku said, steeling his face as he rose, the ornament cradled in his hands. “I’ll just put this up before dinner, can you take care of the rest preparations?” “I will,” Minato answered, watching Fugaku disappear into their room. He knew where the other man kept his ornaments and a plan was already forming in his head. Minato wandered into the kitchen, his head planning his next move as Kyuubi followed him on wobbly legs.
