Lonely this Christmas
Lonely this Christmas
Furious, Yo trudges through the snow. What was that supposed to mean? Where can you still buy flour at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve? Anna has really thought about that again! Slowly but surely he got the feeling that his fiancée was sending him off for the fourth time that day because she would rather be alone for Christmas. "I'll do her a favor," mumbles Yo in his scarf and walks towards the cemetery, where Amidamaru is celebrating with his ghost friends.
In the former inn, which is now Anna and Yo's home, preparations for the party are in full swing. While the pasta casserole sizzles in the oven, Anna hangs the last balls on the Christmas tree. “Done!” She looks at her work with satisfaction. The decoration turned out really nice. Humming to herself, she puts Yo's present under the tree and then sets the table. When the girl finally finished and her fiancé still hasn't returned, she begins to worry.Is he angry because she sent him away? Hopefully not. After making tea, Anna sits down in the living room to wait for Yo, but the minutes pass and he still does not return.
500 meters further and five hours later he decides to go home. On the one hand, he no longer feels like hanging out with the ghosts and, on the other hand, he freezes like a tailor. He quietly opens the door, so as not to attract Anna's attention, and sneaks into the kitchen. There the pasta casserole, which has meanwhile become cold, still stands between two almost completely burned down candles on the lovingly laid table. ° Oh Anna! I really wronged you this time! ° Speaking of Anna, where is she anyway?
Yo peeps carefully into the living room. The sight that presents itself to him is incredibly beautiful, but also incredibly sad at the same time: His fiancée is sleeping with her back to the kitchen door on the floor in front of a glorious, shining Christmas tree.The electric glow of the chain of lights makes you look enchanted. Yo quietly fetches his present for Anna from above and puts it under the tree with the other one. Then he wakes his fiancée by nudging her gently.
Sleepy, she straightens up and doesn't know where she is at first. Yo gently wraps her arms around her stomach from behind. “I'm sorry, Anna,” he whispers in her ear, “Merry Christmas.” She smiles. ° You are finally here! ° Hesitantly, the blonde hugs her fiancé. "Is it really you? Or is it just a dream?" She asks cautiously, turning to him and looking at him questioningly. But Yo doesn't feel like talking, instead he puts his lips on hers. Surprised, Anna cannot react quickly enough to return the kiss. She smiles mischievously at him: “I'm afraid I have to convince myself of that.” Yo can feel her lips on his one more time and a pleasant tingling sensation spreads inside him.He carefully pulls his fiancée close and begins to kiss her back.
When they break apart, nobody really knows what to say. Somehow her emotions were out of control. ° Why did I kiss Anna? Since when do I feel this way for her? °, Yo wonders. Suddenly a loud growl can be heard from his stomach. "You're right, Yo," says Anna with a smile, "I'm hungry too."
In the kitchen he reheats the casserole while she gets new candles from the cupboard. When you eat, you can quickly find something to talk about, so you soon have a lively chat. ° I didn't know that it could be different. In a strange way, I like that side of her, even though I never would have suspected it! ° Yo looks at her lovingly. When the meal is over, Anna starts washing up. The young shaman looks at her in surprise: "Anna ?! Since when have you been washing up?" She turns around to him, slightly annoyed. "Do you think I've never done housework in my life?"With these words, Itako turns back to the dishes.
Yo watches her every move and feels the desire to hold her in her arms again. So he prefers to disappear into the living room. After all, Anna shouldn't think that he wants to get her to bed with all his might. Does he really want that? Somehow. Damn it, what's wrong with him today? Otherwise he is not like that. Is it because of the atmosphere? Or ...
The black-haired man doesn't get any further, because his fiancée has meanwhile finished washing the dishes and is now sitting next to him. She is holding a small package in her hands. "Merry Christmas, Yo." She hands him the present and he unwraps it curiously. The new CD from "Every Bob" comes out, which he has been keen on for so long. He smiles thankfully at her and fishes his Christmas present for Anna from under the tree. His fiancée carefully opens the bow and lifts the lid of the box. Immediately a wonderful scent flows into the room.In addition to a bag of cookies, there is another smaller box in the larger one. When Anna opens it and realizes what it is, she catches her breath. “Merry Christmas, Anna.” She can't believe it and keeps looking stunned from the box to her fiancé and back. "Do you like it? I thought, if we're already engaged, then ..." He carefully takes the narrow gold ring out of the box and puts it on her right ring finger. "... then we should also publicly admit it." Yo notices that Anna still hasn't fully realized what has just happened. He really succeeded in the surprise. Suddenly her expression changes to a radiant smile and she falls around his neck. "Thanks, Yo." Immediately his heart starts beating faster. He gently pulls her onto his lap and kisses the tip of her nose. “I was hoping you would like it.” Yo gently strokes Anna's hair. "I love you, Anna.More than anything else. "A slight reddish shimmer settles on her cheeks. She carefully lays her lips on his and saves herself an answer. They merge into a deep kiss and both clearly feel the passion of the other.
It almost seems as if they have held back all these years for fear of being rejected. They kiss again and again and part just to get a breath. Anna runs her hands under Yo's sweater and lovingly strokes his bare skin. It slowly falls back and pulls its loved one with it. Sighing comfortably, she hugs him closer and closes her eyes enjoying himself. A few seconds later she fell asleep.
Yo carefully frees himself from her, stands up and takes her back in his arms. He goes quietly into her room and places her on the futon. He is about to step out of the room when he hears his fiancée calling softly for him. So he runs back, lies down with her and takes her in his arms.A short time later he too is in the land of dreams ...
