Hello! Here I am again. Now I'm going to try my hand at one drabble for each of the nine days counting to Christmas, Loveless style. Each drabble is only one page in Word.
Disclaimer:I don't own Loveless...yeah, so does the rest the world-except for Yun kouga-san. THAT ought to be a comfort. Haha.
~Nine Days of Christmas~
-Shinonome-sensei's room-
It's not a big deal. It's not like they're even Christian.
This is what Ritsuka thinks, as Shinonome-sensei prattles on and on about Christmas break. Yuiko is shooting him that glance-the one just begs wordlessly for him to sit up and take notice of her.
He pretends not to.
It wasn't like him to ignore his self-proclaimed friend. Despite his distant ways with other people, he did genuinely enjoy Yuiko's company-at least sometimes. Yayoi, too.
But if they were going to talk about Christmas-
He'd rather not join in.
Lunch break comes, and Ritsuka sighs mentally. It's December 16, only nine days away from Christmas. Now Yuiko is inviting him to a get-together with Shinonome-sensei and (surprise, surprise) Yayoi. It'll be just like that time at the park-with Soubi and Kio. At least that's what she says.
She is asking if he, Ritsuka, would like to invite Soubi and Kio.
Ritsuka stares at her like she's a reindeer from Mars. He doesn't even remember agreeing to the get-together.
"I'm already preparing Ritsuka's gift!" Yuiko says cheerily.
"What about me, Yuiko-san?" Yayoi practically whines. Ritsuka had to hold in his laughter, for Yayoi looks just like the conventional kicked puppy.
"Oh I have a gift for you, too," she says offhandedly. "It's not much though-"
"Anything from Yuiko-san is fine!"
She smiles. Yuiko then turns expectantly to Ritsuka. "So will you invite them?"
She has Soubi's number, Ritsuka knows. But the fact that even Yuiko recognizes his connection to Soubi-Don't invite Soubi without telling Ritsuka- makes him feel…bittersweet. Soubi is his, yes, but he hopes not like Seimei owns Soubi.
"I'll think about it."
A/N: I'm going for a Christmas-centered theme for eaach drabble. This is kinda a random idea, but I'm not sure if it's that unique-I think it may have been done before?
I do not know the taste of gingerbread, but I bet reviews are way better. Please?
(Off the record, I wonder what Yuiko's gift to Ritsuka is...)
(Maybe I should have started with twelve days of Christmas, like the carol. hoho.)
