There he was again. Kai had his arms wrapped around your waist, nuzzling his face into your shoulder as you prepared the chocolate for Christmas. It was a familiar scene; whenever the two of you were alone, especially when Kanto, your older brother, wasn't around, Kai would act as though you were his girlfriend, even though you weren't.

Kai and Kanto had been inseparable since kindergarten, considering each other more like brothers than friends. They were part of a band, with Kanto as the lead singer and Kai as the guitarist, along with two other members: Minato, the second guitarist, and Hinata, the drummer.

Today was Christmas, and as usual, Kai had been invited to spend the holiday with your family. Your parents treated him like one of their own, welcoming him into your home with open arms. It was a far cry from the chaotic environment he came from; his father struggled with alcoholism, and his mother had passed away. For Kai, spending Christmas in a warm, loving home like yours was a cherished escape from the troubles of his own household.

Your parents and Kanto had stepped out for some last-minute shopping, leaving you alone with Kai. He was supposed to be helping you prepare the chocolate, but instead, he clung to you like a koala, enjoying the rare moments of intimacy and warmth he found in your presence.
