Leohiro (Leon/Chihiro)

Swing with It

On late Christmas day, the students of Hope Peak's academy decided to have a party at one of Togami's mansions. They selected the one where it wouldn't snow so they wouldn't have the snowball catastrophe with Leon again. They didn't trust the baseball player to keep his promise from slaughtering them again. So they had fun at the party having a secret Santa exchange gift. Naegi had Mondo who had Junko who had Maizono who had Asahina who had Mukuro who had Hagakure who had Ishimaru who had Fukawa who had Kirigiri who had Yamada who had Togami who had Sakura who had Celestia who had Leon who had a gift for Chihiro who had Naegi. Everyone was either surprised, happy or disappointed by their gift. Togami was the most likely to be disappointed thought it may be an act since Kirigiri, a detective, could figure out the best gift to give which he secretly thanked her for later.

"Oh! A new swim suit!" Asahina picked up her new one piece swimsuit. Two pieces were forbidden to wear for her for the sake of keeping things appropriate. "I've been meaning to get one since my old one is worn out and tight on me. Thank you Maizono-san."

"I'm glad you like it." The cute girl smiled with glee. Her gift from Junko was a new make-up supplies.

Then there was a rounds of laughter and the Ishimondo pair ranting at Leon while Chihiro was holding up pink lingerie with a blush. Mondo held the red head up from the collar. "Oi, what kinda joke is this ya bastard!"

"It's a joke! A joke dude! Lighten up, man. The real gift is here." Leon took out a red flash drive with a greek ribbon tied around it. "It's my first track, and Chihiro will be the first one to hear it."

"Is that really a gift?" Asahina question as Mondo let him go.

"Whatdya mean if it's a gift? Of course it is!" He handed it over to Chihiro who looked at it and then smiled graciously.

"Thank you Leon. I'm honored to hear you songs first."

"You won't regret it." He winked at him.

"Now that we all opened our presents," Yamada announced, "Let the party begin!"

Music played so people danced to it or played games, or just have conversations in general and share interests. Leon had to get out of it after a few hours to catch his breath after laughing so hard at Hagakure and Yamada being complete idiots.

Outside there was a pool and no snow, but then there was still a cool chill in the air that had the athlete shake off his tense muscles to relax. He then noticed Chihiro was out here too sitting on a bench that was under an arc covered in a tangle of roses.

"Hey Chihiro! What are you doin' out here?"

The short one took off his ear phones. "Oh! Hey Leon! I was listening to your songs. They're really good!"

Leon tried not to blush while scratching the back of his head. "You really think so?"

Chihiro nodded, "Mh mm. Though I'm surprised that there's not that many punk rock songs."

The punk rocker sat next to him. "I thought that if it was gonna be a Christmas gift for you, it's best that I make a cover of some of your favorite songs. I got the guys to tell me what they were."

"You went through all that trouble for me?"

"Yeah. It's Christmas after all! Plus you'll be able to keep listening to my rockin' voice whenever ya want!"

"Thanks Leon! I will! So what did Celestia-chan get you?"

"She gave me this totally cool guitar! She figured that if I wanna get any better, I should learn how to play an instrument. But I gotta be honest that this whole musician dream isn't working out for me."

"Is it because of Maizono-san?" Chihiro gasped realizing what he's done. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ask that question!" He was in tears for his spontaneous insensitivity.

"It's all good! I only went out with her because she was real cute, but we never really connected. I think she only went out with me because she had nothing better to do. I was real bummed out when she broke up with me, but I figured that it was for the best. It'd be horrible if badass hotties like me were to be taken!"

"How come you two never connect? I-If you don't mind me asking that is!" The programmer mentally kicked himself.

"I don't mind since we're friends Chihiro. I guess Sayaka and I never had much to talk about. I tried to talk to her, but she's busy with her other idol friends and being a star and all. We never really saw eye to eye on anything much."

"It must've been awful! I can't imagine myself being in a relationship like that! How can there be nothing to talk with you about? You're very fun to talk to Leon!"

The baseball player blushed. "You really think so?"

"Yeah! It's funny when you talk about baseball and punk rock and stuff. You're also really nice and sweet like the time you bought me cake for Valentine's Day just so you'd give me the best gift than Mondo and Ishimaru."

"You guys left me out of the loop for that since I had a girlfriend and you guys didn't want to end up being losers without chocolates. And the cake was actually more of a thank you for helping me study since the teacher wouldn't let me slide through her test. She was a serious hag for doing that."

"But it must be nice to know that you also have a gift for learning fast. It was easier helping you than I thought."

"Yeah, I'm just a guy filled with other hidden talents aren't I."

"Yeah." Then Chihiro looked up at the sky. There may be no snow but the winter time do make clouds even at night. The programmer sighed. "I was hoping to see stars out here after hearing your version of the Disney song, 'When you wish upon a star'. I thought it would be fitting but turns out there are no stars out here after all." The brunette frowned by his discovery.

Leon pouted and then came up with an idea. "What are you talking about? I see a star right there!" He pointed at the sky.

Chihiro looked up trying to look where he's looking. "You see one?"

"Actually there's a whole bunch of them."

"Where?"

"Right here." He then pointed at Chihiro. "Because, baby, the brightest stars are in your eyes."

The programmer blinked and then a blushed spread across his cheeks. "Pfft!" Chihiro looked away covering his mouth from laughing. Leon grinned at his accomplishment. "That a good one Leon!"

"What can I say? This ladies man's filled with a lot more corny one-liners heading your way! Be prepared to taste the corniness of my corn! And I do not mean Mondo's hair."

Chihiro laughed.

"Strike! As Ishimaru would say, Foul ball, detention! Detention for everyone! Especially you my hunka hunka! We're about to drop this dun dun dun!"

"Stop Leon! They are our friends!" Chihiro tried to catch his breath.

"Are you okay? Do you need a donut? Do you need three donuts? Is it okay if I have those donuts? Do you smell like a donut?" Leon sniffed Chihiro as the young one laughed. "Hm? You smell like a donut and feel like a donut but do you taste like a donut?"

"O-okay, that's enough." Chihiro pushed him back lightly.

Leon laughed a little at his own shinnenigans. They stared at each other and then the brunette shivered. "It's really cold at night."

"Here. Take my jacket. Hope it helps." He takes off his white jacket to wrap it around Chihiro for warmth.

"Thank you."

"Anything for a friend." Then out of no where a wrapped donut lands on the bench. Both of them were surprised and weirded out. They looked around to see if Aoi was watching them but it was just them. They looked up to where it came from to see that there was a mistle toe above them.

"Is that a mistletoe? Looks like we have to kiss."

"Ki-kiss?" Chihiro blushed bright red.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. It's just a stupid thing to do anyway."

"Ri-right. But then it might be bad luck if we don't. Celestia told me that if you kiss under the mistletoe, no harm would come to you."

"Isn't that just a myth or something?"

"Ma-maybe it is." They stared at each other blushing and then kissed under the mistletoe. It was a soft innocent kiss that lasted more than ten seconds. Chihiro thought that Leon's lips were soft and that his beard tickled while Leon thought that kissing the young male felt pretty weird but it also felt really good.

They slowly moved away from each other feeling the lingering touch on their lips. Leon's blue irises lit up as the feelings of his chest did. Chihiro felt frightened by what he felt. "We should go inside with the others. They must be wondering where we are by now." He handed over the punk rocker's jacket.

"Yeah, I'll be right behind you."

"Alright." The programmer left.

Leon looked at him and then away and then back at him and then shrugged his shoulders. He got off after him. "Hey Chihiro!"

The male turned around and then was surprised with another kiss, and this time it was longer. Chihiro stayed shocked for a few seconds until Leon lets go and grinned at him. "I like kissing you."

Chihiro was speechless and then responded in relief, "I like kissing you too!"

Then they were in a more intimate embrace as they continued relishing in each other's kisses.

Maizono, Sakura and Asahina watches from the bushes. "It was really nice of you to hook them up together but did you really have to throw my doughnut!"

"They had to kiss or else they wouldn't get together!" Maizono explained herself.

"How were you so sure that just one kiss would make them be together?" Sakura questioned.

"Leon is the type to go all out on getting something he knows feels right, and Chihiro always had a sweet spot for him." Maizono remembered the time Chihiro and Leon were studying together for the test at the library. She just looked at how they interacted and knew that she shouldn't prevent what was obviously there to become more.

"So if they really do hook up, then that means you're kind of like their fairy god mother right?" Asahina asked.

"Are you okay with this Maizono-san?" Sakura asked.

The pop idol nodded positively.
