Isogai finished tucking his siblings into bed, after an hour of getting the two excited children to fall asleep. Isogai himself didn't feel very tired, despite everything he'd done that day. His mother was sick once again, leaving Isogai to cook, watch his siblings, and place presents under the tree. He had to decline Maehara's offer to hang out in order to take care of everything but it was worth it in the end, knowing that he made his siblings' christmas a good one.
Isogai was killing some time watching a christmas special on the small tv he had hooked up in his room until he heard something.
*tap*
"Huh?"
*tap*
*tap*
It was coming from the window. Isogai got up and made his way outside he saw three familiar faces standing outside.
"Throwing pebbles isn't working." Said Okano. "Try something bigger."
"Like what?!" Asked Maehara.
"That rock looks nice." Said Okano.
"Are you trying to break his window!?"
Kataoka rolled her eyes and noticed Isogai looking at them.
"He sees us." Said Kataoka.
Okano and Maehara stopped arguing as Isogai opened the window.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"You didn't want to spend christmas eve with us, so we brought christmas eve to you." Said Maehara.
The three climbed up the side of the house into Isogai's room, where Okano set down a pair of white boxes.
"We still got like... Three hours until midnight." Said Maehara. "lets make something of it."
"We even got a cake." Said Okano, setting one of the boxes on Isogai's table and uncovering it, revealing a fresh Christmas cake.
"I honestly couldn't." Said Isogai. "I'd feel guilty if I had a christmas cake and didn't share any of it with my siblings."
Kataoka smiled.
"I knew you'd say that." Said Kataoka. "Which is why we got a second cake."
Isogai paused.
"You really didn't need to-"
"We wanted to." Said Kataoka. "You spent all day making your siblings happy, and we want to help. Maybe make you happy in the process too."
Isogai smiled and pulled Kataoka into an unexpected hug. The female rep blushed and looked away as Maehara chuckled.
"Jeez Isogai, I know it's nine but you've got a whole six hours." Said Maehara jokingly.
Okano responded by elbowing him in the stomach.
"Pervert."
Isogai ended the hug and got up.
"I'll get some plates and some drinks. I got a great deal on some soda that's only a day past it's sell by date."
Isogai left the room as Kataoka composed herself.
"That went better than expected..." Said Maehara as he recovered from Okano's blow. "Good thinking with this Kataoka."
"I just wanted Isogai to have a good christmas." Said Kataoka. "An it's safe to say that I succeeded."
And the impromptu christmas get together went smoothly.
Until Maehara broke out mistletoe, which earned him a kick to the face.
And there it is the second christmas story, featuring four of my favorite charcters.
I honestly like writing these four, hopefully I'll get some ideas that'll let me do this soon.
Happy Holidays and I'll see you in the next story.
