[ The hand on Kaito's hip normally would have him pressing even closer, hinting at a desire for more, but this time, he holds off on that. The moment simply isn't right, and he just keeps his fingers in Chris's hair - though he knows what it does, that's not why Kaito's doing it this time. It's more just to keep him close until they're both satisfied and can pull back.
As Kaito feels Chris squeeze his hand and pulling back, Kaito slips his hand from Chris's hair to rest against his chest, fingers curling a little in the fabric. It's then that it really dawns on Kaito that Chris is wearing something rather... Christmas-y, and he very nearly rolls his eyes at that alone, instead focusing on Chris's words. And maybe he is genuinely surprised, but he also hadn't expected much what with the landlord playing his games again. ]
And here I had thought that being allowed to kiss you and sleep in my bed again would be my only gifts.
[ Honestly, he doesn't particularly care for gifts - if there's something he wants, he'll buy it his own damn self - but he'd been willing to get a bit more into the Christmas spirit for Chris's sake (and subsequently Haruto's as well). And it was working, until things went bad - not just with Chris, but with Haruto as well, and his efforts had been focused on what was happening with his brother (and it served as a good distraction to keep him from getting lonely after being so used to not being alone so much).
So perhaps there's still a small hint of a smile, and Kaito lifts his hand back up to press his palm against Chris's cheek, and he leans in for another kiss - it doesn't last as long, but it's firmer, a little more emotional before he draws back and starts making his way into the living room, fingers loosening their grip on Chris's hand as a warning that he'll let go if Chris doesn't follow. ]
Though I'm not sure what you could have gotten me that would be better than that, Chris.
[Chris laughs quietly as he follows closely after Kaito and intertwines their fingers so he can squeeze Kaito's hand and show that he's not about to let Kaito out of his sight just yet. For one thing, he isn't even sure he wants to let Kaito out of his sight for the whole day right now (though that feeling will probably pass), but mostly he just wants to see Kaito's reactions to his gifts (while being thankful that Kaito didn't get to see his reactions to his own gifts).]
Well, I couldn't exactly account for that, could I?
[Though it's not like he could account for the whole event of changed feelings over the last few days either. Chris is extremely grateful at this point that he'd either picked out Kaito's gifts early or the gift was something he would have made regardless of his feelings.]
I doubt they will be, but I don't mind. It's Christmas. You're supposed to spoil your loved ones on Christmas.
