summary what happens when mr. and mrs. claus,a centaur,a christmas tree and a snowman attend a college christmas party
„The things I do for you, Jae hyung.“ Changmin grunts as he looks down at the main part of his costume.“A centaur doesn't even have anything to do with christmas, why do I need to wear this?“
„You look lovely and will be the main attraction of the party.“ Jaejoong chirps and helps Changmin to wear his shoes as the other's costume makes it impossible for Changmin to sit down or bend down properly.“They didn't have any other good costume anymore so I took this one. Or do you want to change with Yoochunnie?“
Changmin looks over at the human christmas tree standing on the other side of the room and looks like he's about to consider jumping out the window instead of having to drag himself to the anual christmas party at their university in that outfit.
The things they do for Jaejoong.
„No, thanks. I'm better off with this one.“
Changmin merely grins when he sees Yoochun pouting at him and then has to focus on Jaejoong again the moment his oldest hyung decides to help him put on a fluffy white vest which - contrary to what Changmin believed when he first saw it - does not belong to the costume set but is actually part of Jaejoong's personal clothes.
„Changminnie I found your mate!“ Yoochun screams out of a sudden and causes both, Changmin and Jaejoong, to look at him questioningly.
Jaejoong breaks out into a fit of laughter when he sees Yoochun pointing at his black horse lamp but bites onto his bottom lip to control himself the moment he notices the playful glare Changmin is throwing at him before the younger one takes a cushion from Jaejoong's couch to fling it at Yoochun who loses his balance and falls down at the blow with a yelp.
„The centaurs are coming!“ Yoochun cries out as he struggles to get back up.
„Guys, we gotta go.“ Jaejoong swiftly helps Yoochun up before he gets a hold of the red fleece bag he got himself to match his Santa costume and to put his things into, his feet soon carrying him towards the front door with his dongsaengs following him.
He smiles as Changmin and Yoochun walk past him with small pouts on their lips and when Changmin's horse butt is finally out of the apartment, Jaejoong closes the door to lock it.
They should've known better than to let him buy all of their christmas costumes this year.

„I got you, buddy!“ Yoochun cries out as he pulls Changmin out of the car, the youngest amongst them and his horse butt having occupied the whole backseat as the costume forced Changmin to sit sideways throughout the whole 30 minutes long car ride to their university.“And why did we bother taking the car? We could've ridden Changmin to get here.“
„For starters, neither of you will ever get to ride me. You don't have the needed qualifications. Period.“ Changmin groans as he shakes his legs in turns.“I can't feel my legs anymore.“
„Well you still got two more today.“ Yoochun laughs and yelps in pain when Changmin punches his right arm in return.
„Changminnie don't be so violent.“ Jaejoong mutters as he locks the car, soon making his way towards the university building.“And hurry up, I promised Heechul hyung that we're going to help him handing out the voting papers at the entrance."
"Pretty sure Changmin is going to win the 'best costume award' this year."
Changmin merely grunts in return as he ignores the stares and giggles directed at him once their classmates and juniors spot him dragging himself and his costume across the campus. This is so embarrassing and he curses himself for never being able to say no to Jaejoong. One pout from Jaejoong and it's like his lips don't even remember how to form words of rejection anymore.
„You should be the one wearing this, Jaejoong hyung.“ Changmin then utters as he points as his costume.“You're like a human unicorn anyways. With my costume and a horn we'd be able to see you in your true form.“
Jaejoong blinks in confusion, not really knowing whether the other is trying to insult him or compliment him in his very own, twisted way.
„Guys I think I've lost one of my ribbons.“ Yoochun half shrieks as he spins around and searches for a red ribbon which Jaejoong knows was near Yoochun's neck not long ago.
He soon spots it a few centimeters away from his friend and picks it up before pulling Yoochun side to sit down on a bench as Changmin follows them quietly.
„Wait, I got this.“ Jaejoong says and gets a small box out of his fleece bag, soon presenting a small sewing kit to his dongsaengs.“Your hyung got this.“
„'Hyung'.“ Changmin chuckles.“'Mother' would fit you more.“
„Be quiet you brat or this mom ain't making you lunch ever again.“
Changmin gasps before nodding.“Brat's shutting up.“
Yoochun watches Jaejoong fixing his costume in silence, somehow thankful that Jaejoong deems it neccessary to be prepared for just about every unfortunate incident whenever they go out after he ripped his pants years ago during a birthday party in High School and had to walk through the whole house with his Hello Kitty boxers on display.
That was one scarring experience for Jaejoong. Not that it made him stop wearing Hello Kitty stuff, but to rip his pants had been enough of an embarrassment as it was even without the Hello Kitty boxers.
"Done." Jaejoong chirps as he puts the sewing kit back into his fleece bag, smiling proudly when Yoochun gives him a thumbs up.
He then helps Yoochun to get up before they all head towards the university building together as the many trees decorated by fairy lights illumate their way. It looks beautiful and even Changmin who usually doesn't get amazed by these things has to admit that their campus looks impressively stunning.
"I look like some drunk hip hop artists going to a christmas party." A deep voice complaints and has Jaejoong turning around only to come face to face with a rather disgruntled-looking basketball team captain.
"You're the start of a revolution, hyung." Junsu - the basketball ace's younger brother - replies."A Santa Revolution."
"Oh lord." Yunho grunts in response before his lips curve up into a smile at the sight of Jaejoong and his friends standing only a few steps away from them."Hey."
"Hey." Jaejoong, Yoochun and Changmin greet back before Junsu's loud laughter catches their attention.
The student sporting a snowman costume can barely hold back the tears of joy threatening to escape from his eyes as he points at Changmin."The fuck are you supposed to be?"
"Shut up, cotton ball!" Changmin hisses before strutting away, a still hysterically-laughing Junsu following him suit before Yoochun joins them, probably afraid that some snowman blood is going to be shed if he doesn't.
"Why can't they meet each other peacefully for once?" Yunho sighs and receives an awkward smile from Jaejoong in return.
The two of them are always like this when they are together. Awkward and stiff.
It may be the fact that the two of them are simply too different to actually click, two opposites which could never match.
Or maybe it's simply the fact that the two of them happened to share a drunken - and admittedly amazing - kiss a few months ago and don't really know how to handle themselves around each other ever since.
They follow their friends slowly, walking side by side in silence as they lack a topic to talk about. It's uncomfortable for both, but neither really wants to offend the other by fleeing from the situation. The last thing they need at the moment is something to drive more awkwardness and tension between them and much to their relief, the two of them soon arrive at the main entrance of the university building where Yoochun and Changmin are already busy handing out voting papers together with Heechul.
"Well hello Mr. and Mrs. Santa." Heechul muses as he gives Jaejoong a rather big staple of voting papers before gesturing towards Jaejoong's and Yunho's costumes."You both fail as Santa Claus, one is weird as heck and the other too NC-17 for children, but at least you fail together."
Jaejoong lowers his head and squeezes himself right between Yoochun and Changmin who of course know about what happened between Yunho and their dearest hyung and therefore choose to not help Heechul in making fun of the two of them this time around. Yunho merely chuckles and scratches the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Junsu forced me to wear this. I actually didn't want to come but then he kept pestering me." Yunho explains meekly and only receives a teasing grin and a hum from Heechul."Anyways, is there something I can help you with? I don't really feel like going in yet."
"You can help those three over there handing out these papers, don't forget to keep one to yourself. I need to see whether everything's alright inside." Heechul mutters as he gives Yunho his share of voting papers, soon disappearing into the building along with the river of schoolmates.
Yunho clears his throat before smiling at Jaejoong and his two friends who smile back timidly although Yunho can feel that Jaejoong's response is only half-hearted.
He regrets what happened. Not the kiss itself but the circumstances it happened under. The fact that it had been a kiss induced by alcohol is something which made things complicated and awkward, putting an unwanted distance between him and Jaejoong. They know each other for several years now, having entered college around the same time and having been in several courses together ever since, but that one night made their rather good and friendly relationship turn into something hard to define.
He takes a glance at Jaejoong every now and then, his own smile widening whenever Jaejoong smiles at their schoolmates as he hands them their voting papers before he gets to see Jaejoong's shirt which reveals a really big part of his chest, finally making Yunho realize what Heechul meant by saying that one of them is too NC-17 for children.
Not that Jaejoong has a legit reason to hide his chest. This guy is flawless from head to toe, white and soft.
Catching himself staring at the other for way too long, Yunho chooses to look away swiftly.
"Hyung, me and Yoochun hyung are done now. Do you want us to stay and wait for you?" Changmin asks as he shows his empty hands to Jaejoong.
"No it's okay, go in and enjoy the party." Jaejoong replies, nodding and signaling for his two friends to go ahead when Yoochun looks at him as if to ask whether he's sure about it.
Silence hangs in the air as the two of them wait for the very last students to come and take the rest of the voting papers from them.
Only when Yunho registers Jaejoong's shuddering from the corner of his eyes does he look at his schoolmate once again, realizing how cold it must be for Jaejoong to stand in the cold with such a huge amount of skin on display.
"You can give the papers to me, I'll hand them out for you." Yunho says as he stretches out his hand with a smile."You must be freezing."
But much to his surprise, Jaejoong frowns at him."No. I can't let you stand out here alone."
Yunho wants to argue, but the look of determination in Jaejoong's eyes make him relent. But there's no way he's going to let Jaejoong shiver like that any longer. He slowly takes his jacket off, revealing a white sweater underneath and walks over to Jaejoong in order to place the red jacket around Jaejoong's small frame.
"Yunho-"
"At least wear something that covers you up properly." Yunho says and gestures for the other to wear the jacket properly, which the other does with a small smile on his pink lips.
Just then, a small rain of white snow comes down on them, making the two of them look up in surprise before their eyes meet, the gaze-locking finding an abrupt end when Jaejoong pulls Yunho towards the double doors where they decide to stand in the doorframe and hide from the snow.
They watch everything in silence as the ground and trees are getting covered by the purest white.
It's beautiful. But Yunho finds Jaejoong more beautiful.
Yunho can't remember himself to have ever been awestruck by anyone else but Jaejoong.
Jaejoong, despite trying hard to not look Yunho's way, soon notices the other's gaze on him and finally gives in to his yearning to stare right back at Yunho, teeth automatically digging into his bottom lip as he takes in Yunho's sharp, handsome features.
He is so handsome and Jaejoong would lie if he would say that he isn't attracted to Yunho and yearns to kiss those bow-shaped lips of his over and over again because yes, he loved that kiss they shared. But knowing that neither of them had been sober back then makes Jaejoong wonder whether Yunho would also be willing to kiss him without the influence of alcohol there to push him into doing it.
He gasps and stumbles backwards when Yunho answers his unvoiced question by pressing a firm kiss onto his lips, Yunho's strong arms soon pulling him closer to steady him, giving him the chance to kiss back.
So soft and sweet. And so much better than their first kiss.
There is no bitterness of alcohol involved, just the sweet taste of Yunho and Jaejoong as they do what they should've done a long time ago already. Heat. There is so much heat and their hearts are racing as they hug each other, their red pair of lips never wanting to be separated ever again.
This is just the beginning.

"My vote for the 'best couple award' goes to them." Junsu squeals, soon frowning at Changmin when the other pushes past him to have a better look at their kissing hyungs standing by the entrance.
"Guys, do we really have to hide?" Yoochun groans, somehow finding it ridiculous how they are squeezing themselves and their huge costumes into the doorframe of a classroom near the university's main entrance just because Junsu doesn't want them to disturb Yunho and Jaejoong while they're making out.
Changmin grins at him as he takes out his cellphone."Of course, or else I won't be able to take any nice pictures. You know how Jaejoong hyung always gets a bitch fit when someone captures his 'private moments'."
"Bitch fit, huh?"
Oh lord. That voice.
As sweet and gentle Jaejoong can be, there is no one's wrath Changmin fears more than his.
"Shim Changmin you brat you better get your huge horse butt ready. I'm going to tell Heechul hyung that you'll be making a special performance tonight."
"Jae hyung!"
