A/N: I wonder why my drabbles are getting fluffier? * sweatdrops*


~Seven Days of Christmas~

-Nagisa and Ritsu-

"I think Christmas just turned into my least favorite holiday," Nagisa announces to her friend, Nana, also known as Seven.

"I don't think you ever paid it much attention before," Nana remarks absently. She is busy, arranging transportation for the Academy students who want to go home for the holidays.

Or to put it more specifically, those who can go home.

"Though, your being alone might have something to do with it, yes?" speculates Nana.

Nagisa glares at the remark. "I don't consider Ritsu as company."

"I didn't say anything about Ritsu…why did you assume it was him I was talking about?"

There's a sly look in Nana's eyes. By this point Nagisa knows that anything she would say would be moot- Nana remembers all too well the time Nagisa broke down in hysterics after Aoyagi Seimei half-blinded Minami Ritsu. Following that line of reason, Nana would then find it easy to realize the real reason for Nagisa's bad temper: Ritsu's disability would prevent him from enjoying Christmas.

It was strange, for Nagisa is often unbearably pouty and childish when it came to Ritsu, always spoiling for a fight. But if anyone else were to hurt him…Nagisa acted all possessive.

Nana didn't even want to think about what that meant. She already categorizes Nagisa and Ritsu's relationship as Something Better Not Thought About if You Do Not Want a Massive Headache.

Just then the man himself comes in, bearing papers for Nana to look over. He looks half-frozen, Nana notes, and it isn't until Nagisa screeches that Nana sees the snowflakes in Ritsu's hair and clothes.

"What happened? Do you want to get a cold?" scolds Nagisa.

Ritsu ignores her for a moment. "Nana, I think that a single bus will be enough for the kids going home. The rest will stay here-we can arrange a small dinner on Christmas."

Nana nods and starts to contact the bus company. Ritsu heads back to his office, without aid of anyone.

"Did you hear me? I said what if you get a cold!" yells Nagisa

He pauses, and his blinded eyes focuses on Nagisa. "I like the snow- I can still enjoy it without seeing it."

Nagisa's mouth falls open, and Ritsu darts out. "Ritsu!" she shouts, recovering. "At least put a jacket on!"


Thank you to promocat for reviewing! I was tempted to LET Natsuo pull Santa's beard...guess I'm not going to be getting any presents from him this year, ne?

Writing about snow is funny...since it never snows in my country. Hmmm...

You read it-now review! I'd love to hear your opinion!
