During the snowy winter in Japan. It's Christmas day, a holiday celebrated all around the world. To be with friends, family and most importantly their significant other.
Location: Studio Apartment, Snowing, Night-time
In the studio apartment. Everyone was staying up late watching movies in the living room, hanging out. Though to Yasuo, Christmas was just a day for people to be with family.
Since losing Sasho-sensei and his mum. He didn't think he had any family to spend the holiday with and decided to work on the manga.
Noticing that Yasuo was isolating himself in the other room, Tamaki whispers to Akui.
Tamaki Kurogaki: "This is a good opportunity to make yourself look good" (She teased)
Akui Sakai: "eh?" (Confused)
Confused about what Tamaki was implying. Akui turned and saw Yasuo working before quickly turning back.
Akui Sakai: *blushes* "I-I can't, I'm not mentally prepared" (She whimpered)
Tamaki Kurogaki: "Come on, you're the only one who hasn't handed him a present yet" (She uttered)
Tamaki Kurogaki: "The longer you wait, the closer it will be too late"
Akui gave in and nervously started walking towards Yasuo's work desk with his present held in his hand. Trembling in fear over how awkward she feels the conversation will be.
Akui: "Y-Y-Yasuo-kun" (She mumbled)
Yasuo Kyoya: "hm?"
He moved his attention to Akui, barely able to stand whilst holding onto his present.
Akui Sakai: "I'm sorry it's late but I wanted to hand my present over to you"
Akui Sakai: "So please accept my gift to you"
Akui bends herself over as she puts both her arms out forward presenting Yasuo his present right in front of him.
Yasuo Kyoya: "You don't need to be nervous around me you know? I'm not interrogating you"
Yasuo grabbed the present as her arms were shaking like an earthquake was occurring. He set the present in front of him and opened it. Akui waited patiently still shaking to see how he would react.
Yasuo dug his arm into the box and pulled out a picture frame. The picture was of Yasuo, Akui and Sasho-sensei during around the time when they first met at the publisher.
Whilst inside the box was another picture frame with a manga drawing of Yasuo and his Mum.
Yasuo couldn't believe his eyes on what he had possession of.
Akui Sakai: "I thought you would feel a bit lonely this Christmas, so I thought maybe seeing your family would help yo-"
Yasuo without a word hugged Akui right there and then. She didn't know what was going to happen next.
Akui Sakai: "Yasuo?" (Confused)
Yasuo Kyoya: "Kinda feel bad for the others, their gifts, they tried so hard to get me to crack me a smile but instead"
Yasuo Kyoya: "You did more than that"
Whilst hugging Akui. Yasuo was pouring down with tears and he knew he wouldn't be able to hide them while looking at her.
Yasuo Kyoya: "Thank You"
Yasuo Kyoya: "Akui"
Calming down after hearing those words. Akui smiled and started hugging him as well.
*snicker*
*snicker*
Yasuo & Akui: "hm?"
They both heard small laughter in the distance and they paid attention to pinpoint where it was coming from.
They both looked to the doorway and saw Tamaki, Shigechi and Haruka just lurking watching the two hug.
*Flash*
Haruka took a photo with her IOne phone.
Yasuo & Akui: "It isn't what it looks like!"
They're voice echoed into the atmosphere and they can be heard from many who were near.
THE END
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and sorry for not uploading for a while. I've been quite lazy, and university is not doing me well with workload but I am able to make time to write more now. So, expect chapter 5 soon!
P.S. I realised in the previous chapters I actually never put the name of the characters in a easy way to identify who is speaking for each dialogue. So, I'm going to start doing that now, just like I did here.
Happy Holidays! :D
