((christmas haters?)) had purchased a large tree with Mei even though he wasn't sure why it was necessary. In anycase she insisted they-
decorate it.
Mei plopped down a large box of ornaments and other tree decorations. "Are you ready to decorate the tree?"
"Hai..I believe so." He wasn't to sure what was done to decorate it.*
Mei smiled at him and opened the box, handing him some ornaments and then placing some on herself.
*looks at them curiously* "Am I placing these any certain place?"
"No, place them anywhere. Except the star goes on last and on the top."
"Ah.." *he examined the tree and finally determined where to place them*
Mei smiled and placed some more on and got out tinsel to place on.
"What is that?"
"Tinsel. You wrap it around the tree."
"Ah... It may be pretty."
Mei smiled at him. "It's really pretty!"
"Not more then you though."
Mei blushed slightly and started wrapping the tinsel around the tree.
*helped her unwind it*
"How much do we put on it?"
"All of it."
*smiles lightly at it her* "This is quite fun."
Mei smiled back. "Isn't it?"
"Arigato, for showing me, my Mei-chan."
"You're welcome Kiku~"
*lightly kissed her cheek*
Mei giggled and went back to wrapping the tinsel around.
"What else goes on it?"
Mei looked at the tree and smiled. "Only the star at the top is left."
*glanced at the tall tree and frowned a little*
"We'll need a stool..."
*blushes a bit embarrassed she figured out what the problem was* "Hai..."
Mei giggled and pecked his nose. "You can do it, don't worry."
"Arigato.." *softly kissed her cheek and retrieved the step stool*
Mei handed him the star once he was on the stool.
*took it from her gently and uneasily reached up to the top of the tree*
Mei giggled at this and tried helping him.
*is able to finally reach it with her help* "Arigato, Mei-chan."
"You're welcome Kiku."
*leaned down and gently kissed her*
