The last one was from Kyle. It was a long coat that Luiz had been saving for. It was an army green long coat which has ruffles on its hood. The material felt warm as well which was suitable to use during cold weather.
His nose twitched and he felt like crying. Since the two of them had been going to school together and go home together, they would often stop in some clothing shops. And he found this coat but it was a little expensive. He had been saving his money for the last three months but it was far from enough. He even decided to give it up and save for other things. He didn't expect that his brother was paying attention to him.
Luiz sniffed as his tears fell on the coat.
"Hey! If you don't like my gift, you can just tell me about it you know. You don't have to cry over it." Kyle commented but his hand was actually rubbing his brother's head.
"Hn. I hate it." Luiz mumbled while wiping his tears. "I will never wear this coat for sure."
"Yeah. Yeah." Kyle just agreed perfunctorily with his brother. But they both knew it will become Luiz's favorite coat.
"Kyle is really a good brother." Ali commented while watching the two men huddle close to each other. They knew that in this family, they only get amazing items during Christmas or when they save for it. They weren't like other people who likes to spend on things that they don't really need. If they really want something, they'd have to cut their allowance to save for that item that they like.
Stefan turned his head away and buried his face on Cayenne's shoulder. He was never the emotional type of person but in this year, he cried twice already. First was after his parents visited him on his hotel suite and now, watching the two brothers in front of him, he felt very sentimental at this moment. He can see Alexander in Kyle's caring attitude and he can see himself in Luiz.
"Are you alright?" Cayenne asked when she noticed that he's gone silent.
"I'm fine." Stefan responded but the hot tears which fell on her shoulder told her that he wasn't fine.
Cayenne reached her other hand and rubbed the back of his head. "I'm here. Don't worry about anything else. Everything will be alright."
Kyle handed a tissue paper to his brother and went to the small Christmas tree. "Yen, do you mind if I give everyone their gifts?"
"Not at all. You can go ahead and do that." Cayenne responded without turning her head to look at him.
Luiz finally calmed down and was anticipating to see everyone's gifts. Kyle received four gifts as well. They're from Cayenne, Stefan, Luiz and Ali.
He opened the one from Cayenne first and found a pair of shoes. It wasn't a limited edition but it was still expensive. "You are really spoiling us, Yen." Kyle commented helplessly and looked towards his sister. "Don't spend so much for us next time."
"How can that be? I only do this twice a year. On your birthday and on Christmas day. This should be fine." Cayenne responded.
Kyle just sighed. There's no use talking to her about it because she won't ever give in. He just continued to open his gifts and found a watch from Ali. It wasn't one of the most expensive watches but it was still branded. "Thank you, Ali."
"Sure." Ali responded with a smile.
Kyle continued and opened the gift from Luiz. It was a formal suit and a pants. "Oh. You actually remembered it." Kyle rubbed his brother's head again. Since Kyle was already in college and there will be instances that he needed to undergo research defense, he will also need formal attires. He had been rambling about in the past months but eventually forget it.
"I am glad that you've been looking after each other." Their mother commented emotionally. "My two little guys have really grown."
"That's thanks to Yen." Kyle responded happily and turned to Luiz. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Luiz mumbled. It wasn't an expensive suit but it was the most decent suit and pants that he found in a thrift shop. The only expensive item among his gifts was the necktie that he bought to pair with the suit and pants.
The last gift was from Stefan. Compared to the gift that he gave to Luiz, the one that Kyle received was rather big and heavy.
Cayenne didn't know what was inside the bag as well because she didn't see Stefan buying a gift for Kyle. When they got home from vacation, it was there already in their room.
Kyle opened the box and shifted his gaze to Stefan who was cuddling with his sister. "Uh. Isn't this too much?"
"How can that be? You are already in college and you will have to make a lot of researches and reports. Having that is very convenient. You wouldn't have to borrow the one that I gave to Luiz."
Cayenne looked towards him after seeing that her brother received a laptop from Stefan. It was from the same model that Stefan bought for Luiz when he received an award; just different color. "When did you buy that? I didn't see it when we shopped for gifts." Cayenne asked in a whisper.
"The store ran out of stock when we went to the mall. I asked Chris to buy this from City B and asked him to bring it home."
"Oh." Cayenne didn't ask anything anymore and continued to watch everyone opened their gifts.
Her mother received a set of jewelry from Stefan and her. Kyle and Luiz also bought a pair of sandals and dress for her. Ali and Luna gave her a book to pass her time, cosmetics and multivitamins.
Luna received a hoodie from Cayenne.
Ali received a pair of shoes from Cayenne.
And since Stefan didn't bring gifts for them, he went to Cayenne's room with her. He asked for two red packets and slipped in several bills before going out and handed it to the couple. "Merry Christmas."
"Thank you, boss." Luna took the red envelope and didn't dare open it. She was a bit scared to look at the amount. Ali also expressed his gratitude and handed the envelope to his girlfriend since she was the one who was bringing a sling bag.
Cayenne opened her gifts, too. She got a nice dress from her mother. Kyle and Luiz gave her a body sized teddy bear. She likes stuff toys, particularly, teddy bears. But since it wasn't her priority, she didn't think of buying one for herself. Now, her brothers got a big bear for her.
"Thank you." She gave them a hug and received the bear. She hugged it warmly as well.
'Looks like someone's taking my place.' Stefan thought while looking at the teddy bear with a helpless gaze.
