Wish On A Star (Kai x Reader)

18- Christmas

[If you don't celebrate Christmas, that's okay. Just pretend that it's the holiday you celebrate or make up your own. Happy reading.]

Christmas is one of my favourite holidays. I love the decorations, the snow... The food. God I loved the food.

Especially when it was my mom's sugar snap candy cane cookies.

Which at the moment, was only half in the mixing bowl and half over mine, my mom's, Kai and Nya's face. It started as just me flicking the spoon at him and somehow ended as a full fledged batter and flower fight.

"You know, I haven't made cookies in years, I've missed this," Nya sighed as she pulled clumps of batter from her hair.

"What do you usually do for Christmas, then?" Mom asked, wiping her hands on her apron.

"Well Zane and Misako usually make a big meal and we exchange a few presents. It's not mutch, but it's nice," Nya said.

"But you are coming, right?" Kai asked with puppy eyes. "The more the merrier."

I chuckled. "Kai, both Bf/n and I promised to come two weeks ago. Have you seriously forgotten already?"

Kai flushed in embarrassment. "Well, it's been busy, and- yeah, sort of."

By busy, he means swamped with the weapon dealers raids and hunning down thugs. They just caught a big break the other night when they interrogated a thug and got the name of one of the high ups. It was a wonderful Christmas present.

"Is anyone else going to be joining your little get together tomorrow?" Mom asked. She wasn't going with us. She and Greg are going to spend a quiet Christmas together. I think I'm going to hurl. Even if they're married now dosen't mean I like him.

"Skylor and Dareth said they might drop by. Maybe a few of the other masters. And we're going to visit Danny at the hospital," Kai said. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into a side hug at the mention of my friend.

It's been six months, but he was in alot of a worse condition then it looked like at first. One of his ribs made a slow leak in his lung. The doctors didn't see it till it was infected and almost collapsed. About three months in, he fell into a month long coma. It was a great big survivor's guilt trip on my part. I don't think I would have gotten through in one peice if not for Kai, Bf/n and Skylor.

"That's nice of you. Wish him well for me will you?"

"Sure mom," I said, trying my best at a smile.

At that moment, my phone rang. The number came up as Bf/n. I excused myself and swiped to answer.

"Y/n?"

"Hey Bf/n," I said as I walked into the next room. "What's up?"

"Code Santa's elf! Please, I'm dead! I'm at the mall and I need your help. This is life or death!"

Bf/n and I developed a code if one of us ever needed help. Santa's elf means she needs help on which gift she needs to buy who. She uses it almost every year at Christmas. She can remember how many freckles I had on my left cheek when I was 9 but can't seem to keep track of gift giving activities.

There was also "Dumbledore" for when one of us messed up with a secret, "grandma" wich was for getting out of dates. That one hasn't been used since I started dating Kai. Also "cupid" for boyfriend trouble, another for school trouble, family trouble, wardrobe trouble, legal trouble, and pretty much any other kind of trouble you could think of.

"I'll be there in a few," I stand up and took at the room. "Bf/n needs help, I'll be back shortly." I give Kai a kiss, and hug mom and Nya before I grab my coat and boots and my car keys.
