AN: Hey guys! This is my little holiday gift for you. I'm posting twelve chapters for the holidays one for each day before Christmas.

Twelve Days of Christmas

First Day

On the first day of Christmas

My true love gave to me:

A partridge in a pear tree.

A Grumpy Lulu

Black Friday was nothing short of torture. Crazies lined up in masses along the walls in order to get some "great deals" for the Christmas season. And he was sitting, bundled up to the head in winter coats, so he looked like a black plaited caterpillar next to one of the crazies. Namely Suzaku.

"Isn't this fun Lulu?" Suzaku asked cheerfully.

No it wasn't. Lelouch couldn't even fathom how Suzaku thought this was fun, and he couldn't imagine how said man was so damn cheerful at one in the damn morning with only a long sleeve and a sweater to keep him warm. Even with all the layers Lelouch still felt that annoying nip of cold air pierce through, and his butt hurt from sitting on the concrete.

"This. Is. Torture." Lelouch replied. Maybe this time he'll get through to Suzaku.

"You can go home them." Suzaku suggested.

Lelouch glared.

Unfortunately it didn't work since Suzaku shrugged again and said, "Well you were the one who said and I quote, "Your fashion sense is so bad you would make a pig cry. It is my duty to humanity to be there with you.""

"Don't remind me." Lelouch groaned, "I can't just leave you alone in a crowd filled with rabid teens and cranky middle-aged people."

Suzaku laughed and kissed him, "Well thank you Lulu." He said. "I'll be sure to give you an extra special present when we get home."Lelouch smiled indulgently, "Really?"

"Really."

Lelouch was content for now.

Then the doors opened and they were swept into a sea of rabid shoppers.

It better be super extra special. Lelouch thought bitterly.

AN: That's one down eleven more to go. ^^ See you tomorrow.
