Yosh. Sorry for not updating in a while. Erm. Problems with laptop, again.
For those of you waiting for
Lies, Rags, and Riches and Lovely Nuisance – I promise to update both during my break. At least, I hope to. x x

Anyways, this is a Christmas present to my girlfriend. Based off of our Blue/Natsume roleplay. So, yeah. 3

Also, when Natsume mentions about "wearing hats," well, in the roleplay, Blue gave Natsume her hat to wear. And and, it was just adorable. ; w ; BUT, anyways, that's what's meant when she states that.

And also, I believe this is the first Wristshipping fic out here. (NatsumexBlue) Yes. I looked that up. Lmao.

So, congrats to me~ !

Christmas.

It was a sick joke that the world

Liked to play on lonely people.

Natsume never spent Christmas with anyone. No friends. No family.

Her parents left her.

"She's a freak,"

They said.

It was one of the many reasons why she'd

Shaped up to be into the woman everyone knew.

Cold.

Distant.

A loner.

She'd accepted that.

But Christmas was coming again.

Hiding around the corner.

Stores were advertising sales once more.

All jackets 50% off!

Buy one, get one free! Get Her something special!

Snow had also found its way to Saffron City.

Topping the area with a large white blanket.

Children rushed by, bundled with warmth.

Warmth and love.

Squealing and screaming,

Playing their children games.

Around this time of year, she'd be frowning.

"S'that Natsume-san?"

She'd be pouting.

"Uh.. yeah! It is."

She'd be glaring at everyone around her.

"W-we should go, y'know?"

All of them. So in love.

".. Wonder why she looks so mad, huh?"

So happy.

Why can't that ever be me?

So –

Ring, ring!

The shop was warm,

Hitting her face with a blast of air.

She stepped through the doorway,

A few people pausing to look at her.

"Is that Natsume?"

Whispering gossip.

"I wonder what she's doing here?"

Aisles were filled with objects, stamped with numbers.

Cheap. Expensive. Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. Expensive. Outrageous.

It was ridiculous how overpriced these things were.

She mustn't stray away from her mission, however.

There was a reason why she was in a store, at this time of the year.

But the question still remained: what was she going to buy?

All these trinkets and toys filled her sight –

– But none of them were right.

This was frustrating.

This was –

"Do you need any help–?"

The worker nearly looked like she got a heartattack.

"N-natsume-san! Wh-what're you doing here?"

Was she not allowed to be here?

"I'm looking for...

… a gift."

That wasn't so hard, idiot.

She smiles, as if she was relieved to be alive.

And maybe she was.

"R-..right! S-so, there's a someone special?"

A smile – almost like a smirk.

As if she knew.

But Natsume couldn't help and giggle –

Did that really come from her?

– an almost shy look cover her face.

"Yes. There is."

"W-wonderful! I'm so happy for you!"

She was too.

Natsume followed the worker,

Drowning her speech out.

Presents came from the heart.

Right?

Then maybe,

Her help was not required.

But, to be polite,

She followed behind her,

Nodding and smiling.

Answering: "Yes."

"No."

"Maybe."

"And here we have some jewelry."

Jewelry?

"They're only made from the finest of diamonds and silver and gold."

Would she like jewelry?

Then again…

Blue didn't exactly wear jewelry.

I don't wear hats.

But she wore Blue's.

So maybe…

They were so shiny.

So new.

So plain.

So colorful.

So not what I'm looking for.

Then what was she looking for?

What should she get?

Maybe it'd be better if she made something?

I'm horrible at art.

Maybe she could take her somewhere?

But I'd still need a gift.

This was troublesome.

Not that I mind.

And now they came to little sculptures.

Tiny ones.

Glass ones.

Mechanical ones.

There were so many.

There's no hope.

Natsume was out of ideas.

"W-wait! Don't leave yet! You haven't thoroughly

Looked through everything, yet!"

She pressed her palms together,

Linking her fingers together.

"Might as well look around then,

right?"

They were all so boring.

Nothing exciting.

Nothing expensive.

Blue deserved the best.

I'm a failure.

They'd taken on the form of animals now.

Lions,

Tigers,

And bears.

Oh my.

Raccoons and squirrels.

People liked squirrels?

Dogs and birds.

Birds?

That was when she stopped

And looked at them.

Actually looking.

"Do you have any

Bluebirds?"

"I believe we do! Let me just

Go behind the counter

And check for you!"

She waited patiently.

Eying the glass trinkets

Even more carefully now.

"O-oh! I think I found one!"

Her heartbeat sped up.

It was a

Beautiful

Thing.

A small little bluebird

Made out of glass.

A glass that was

Colored blue.

Not too dark, though.

But a small tint of it.

Wings were spread

As if it were

f l y i n g

h i g h.

A bluebird. My Bluebird.

Something for her to love. Someone I love.

Something special.

The worker obviously knew

That this was it.

"Let me ring that

Up for you!"

And a stupid

happy

smile wouldn't leave

Her face shined

With a radiance that

No one had seen

In quite some time.

And she walked out of the store,

Holding the bag with care.

She'll make this year

The best Christmas for her.

My little

B l u e b i r d .
