MCSM: A Rather Ridiculously Ravishing and Romantic Anthology

The Road to the New Year

This is a VERY, VERY, VERY LONG chapter.

Part I

The morning on Boxing Day was yet another glamorous sunrise, but our favourite couples, who've had a... magical night (I'm not implying that!) yep that seems right, have been seemly drowsy and rather clouded. Lukas was first to wake up, noticing he and his beautiful partner was still sound asleep next to him, her arm supposedly positioned so it was wrapped around Lukas' shoulder. His mind was very fuzzy, but his senses functioned well. Owwww, my head... It aches... so much... But when his mind cleared up, he eventually noticed that she fell asleep by him after "Did I just, sleep on the floor next to the bed?"

He examined Jesse's sleeping corpse, which lay undisturbed on the carpet. Her clothes weren't crimped so severely and her hair was tidy and combed straight as a beam of light. Her face wasn't made-up, which revealed her true self to Lukas' eyes, attaching him to her much more. "Oh my you're so beautiful, made-up or not, you'll always be in my eyes, a gleaming princess..." he thought wondrously. He knelt down beside her, and slowly moving her head to face up, he gently kissed her dormant lips; it still felt as if she was awake and kissing him right now. "Your lips are so... warm. I love you so much..." he whispered clearly, before suddenly, he received a mumbled response. "...and I would say the exact same to you." It put a grin on his face to hear that she had begun to wake up and meet the daylight sunrise. Good morning sleepyhead!

She got up, and noticing she fell asleep on the floor, immediately started dusting her shirt and overalls. Lukas did the same, noticing that he too was covered in dust, most likely from the old cupboard. Jesse then walked up to Lukas and she embraced him warmly, he closed his eyes and took in the warmth, knowing she was with him. "Kind of an odd night yesterday, you think?" Lukas asked, to which Jesse responded "If you ask me, it was lovely. Just you, and me, together on Christmas. What more could I ever ask for besides wanting to be with you forever?" Aw she's really into me!

Lukas drew the curtains, and a massive beam of light illuminated the entire room, Jesse flinched while Lukas covered his eyes. "That's quite the sunrise, about as bright as you in the past few days..." Lukas said, not noticing that Jesse went in the bathroom. He decided to enter the lounge, to notice it was a collateral mess. The sofa cushions were rearranged around the house, there were several patches of coal dust on the floor, and perhaps the biggest mess on the floor, were Jesse and Petra, asleep on the floor. "Must've gotten into their heads, their clothes are a real mess, like they haven't been ironed in days!"

Jesse joined him, and she reacted as well, "Did they, do this?" she asked, to which Lukas replied "I think we also did part of this. But assuming they are an even bigger mess..." The room had never been in such a horrific state before, presumably because it had only existed for several months along with the rest of the house, but instead ofcleaning the room, Jesse decided they ought to relocate the two corpses on the floor. "Reckon we put them on the bed? It'll make cleaning this room much easier." Lukas proposed, and Jesse nodded in approval.

Lukas lifted Petra's dozing corpse off the ground while Jesse lovingly lugged her brother into the bedroom. Damn! He seemed rather heavy for a thin guy! They then lay their bodies on the bed as if they were sleeping, then Lukas, deciding to be silly again, gently rolled Petra's body over so she was facing the same wall Jesse is, then he wrapped Jesse's arms around her chest area so anyone would assume they were spooning (and I don't mean spooning as in one way, just the affectionate interaction!). "Aw, how sweet of you!" Jesse said to him, and Lukas smiled. "C'mon, we gotta get to cleaning that room. At least I can spend more time with you!"

It was heavily tiresome and hugely monotonous task, but their teamwork meant that it took shy of a half hour for the lounge to transform to the lounge 2 days ago, minus Jesse and Petra, who let's not forget, have been made to believe they fell asleep on the bed rather than the dusty ground. "That was... kinda fun, I guess. Nah I figured it was stupid!" Lukas groaned from the pain of his moaning back from continuous strain caused by having to grab baubles and what was seemingly mistletoe off the ground. In eyeing Jesse sat on the couch, Lukas glanced at the branch in his hand, and being rather ridiculous, dangled it above her head. Jesse flicked her eyes at it, then burst into a slight snigger. "Why you little..." she whispered (in this case, s*** wasn't going to be the final word) before turning to face a grinning and half-blushing Lukas. And then she kissed him.
