[Johnny is lounging on his couch with a distent and wistful smile on his face. As per usual, he is only half-dresed, but Minea is curled up in front of his stomach, purring away.]

All of this festive spirit and decorating...it makes me wonder what this time of year means for everyone. For some, as I understand it, it is a time to celebrate Christ and God and all of the religious feelings attached to that.

For others it is a time to 'do what's right' and give to others who might be less fortunate than them. And for others, still, it is a time to spend with family.

I know, for me, I always looked at it as a time to spend with that person you love most; it's a very romantic time of the year....

Of course, family is important too, but if you don't have any family or would rather not associate with them, wouldn't it be just as wonderful to curl up with someone special and let them know how important they are? Just a thought.

Anyway~ Tell me, Vatheon, what does Christmas mean to you~?

[A small smile.] I didn't really celebrate Christmas back on the island. It's not like we had snow...

But I did go to New York once during the holidays. Really, it's not about Santa Claus or bright lights or Christmas trees- Christmas is spending time with the people you love.

That's how I always saw it...

What about this Christmas, Jacob? Have any plans or anyone you want to spend it with~?

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

This Christmas? I'll spend it with everyone. Everyone deserves to have somebody to be there for them on Christmas.

And I have a few plans. I'm still working on all the gifts, though...

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there will be some who really appreciate that~

[He looks surprised a moment but laughs.]

Yes, I suppose gifts are traditional for this time of year too, aren't they? I'd forgotten about them.

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

That's what I hope.

Yes, one usually gives gifts to the people closest to them on holidays like this. But most especially on Christmas Eve.

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

Don't you have someone special you want to spend time with? Or is that kind of person at your home still?

And, I guess I just forgot because I haven't actually celebrated in so long. Gift-exchange isn't something I've done since my human years. Still, it is a nice concept...maybe I'll take part in that aspect too.

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? Everyone is special in some way, even you.

If you want. Really, nobody is stopping you from doing so. But if you still need to get used to the celebrations then that's fine too.

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

No, I mean someone you care about romantically; someone you love.

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

Romantically?

I love everyone...but I don't think I love anyone in that way.

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

..Really? Not ever?

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

No, not ever.

[Who has time for romance when you're guarding the source of all life itself. :I]

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

[Slight frown, dead serious.]

....I should take you on a date.

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

...

How does a date work?

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

Well, it's really kind of like spending time with a friend. You go out and do something, watch a movie, eat dinner...at least, that's how humans did it.
You do something you both enjoy together or, sometimes, it's something as meaningless as shopping, but you still do it together.

Depending on the couple, there's hand-holding and kissing involved.

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. That doesn't sound to bad at all. I didn't have anybody back home to do those sorts of things with. Sure, there was Richard, but I barely saw him...

Hand holding and kissing? In a romantic sense?

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

Well, first time for everything..

Sometimes..like I said, depends on the couple and their comfort levels.

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

That's true.

...So you think we are a "couple" if you want to take me out on a date.

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

[THAT IS NOT A BLUSH. NOPE.]

N-Not necessarily. I mean...'couple' tends to be reserved for people with romantic feelings for each other. This can just...be a friend-date, if you'd rather. Just...me showing you what a real date might be like..you know?

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see.

[NOTING THAT BLUSH but he just shrugs and doesn't comment on it because WHAT IS A CRUSH.]

That sounds good. To get a feel of what an actual date is supposed to be, right? I can do that.

[nightknighted.livejournal.com]

Good~ Then I'll come pick you up sometime and we'll make a night of it~!

[Oh, good. WHAT CRUSH? DENIAL FOREVER.]

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

Very well. See you then, Johnny.

[I KNOW THE NILE WELL AND I THINK YOU ARE SAILING DOWN IT JOHNNY.]
