Ritsu's POV
I woke up in his warm arms. It was just like yesterday except much better… today I wasn't embarrassed.
It was finally the last day that we had to spend here with my parents. We were allowed to go home for
New Years! YAY. I opened my eyes to see Takano staring at me. I jumped backward as he smiled in
amusement. "What are you doing perv!" I looked at myself…I wasn't dressed. I ran to the bathroom!
"YOU BAKA" I yelled through the door. I looked at myself in the mirror. I'm sticky; I turned on the
shower sitting on the edge of the tub. I can't wait to go home. It is the end of the cycle and work is
packed. Every other department gets a week off and we have to work through the holidays. I would
honestly rather be at work than here with my parents. I showered pulling a towel around my waist. I
dried my hair and stepped back into the main bedroom. Takano-san pushed past me with his clothes
and I heard the shower start up again. I dressed myself and looked at the bed. Gosh he couldn't even
make it! I pulled out fresh sheets out of the linens closet. That was when I noticed something really
strange. I was cleaning… willingly… and I got mad… That he didn't. I must be sick. I felt my forehead…
maybe I just felt like tidying up. I brushed it off as exactly that and made the bed. As I straightened the
sheet I admire the silver ring that sat on my finger. I smiled not hearing the shower stop. Just then I was
enveloped into a warm hug. I blushed and squirmed for freedom. "I'm happy too." He smiled kissing the
back of my neck. "Takano-san I need to finish." I said pouting that the last corner was a mess. "About
that… why are you cleaning?" "Look I can if I want okay." He put his hands up in defeat and opened the
door. "I'm going to make breakfast." "Ohayo." I heard my mother greet him happily. "Ohayo." He said
equally merrily. Merrily… hmm? OH! I ran down the stairs forgetting the corner of the sheets. "Merry
Christmas everyone!" I threw my hands in the air enthusiastically. I felt like a kid again. "Ohayo Ricchan."
An-chan smiled at me. I quickly put my arms down and my dad smiled though his coffee. "That's the
spirit Ricchan!" My mom hugged me from behind. "Yeah… maybe that was a bit much." I rubbed the
back of my head shyly. "Nonsense! It's the last day I get to see Ricchan for a while before your evil boss
takes you back!" She whined. Takano smiled. "Well sorry to be so evil but he's one of our best editors."
He winked at me and my mom fake sobbed. I was inwardly jumping for joy! Takano-san had just praised
me. "Obaasan it's time to eat." I marched up the stairs almost bumping into my grandfather. "Ohayo." I
smiled at him. "Ohayo." He smiled back. He may be strict but inside he's a softy. "Obaasan?" I continued
I stepped in her room. I heard quacks from her duck slippers as she approached. I turned around.
"Ohayo Obaasan." I smiled at her. "Ohayo Rittie." She hugged me. She handed me a long thin package. I
knew exactly what it was. I opened it to see a tie. It was a beautiful navy and the most unique color. On
the back it had a message sewn into the stitching. Merry Christmas. I'm glad you finally found someone.
I blushed closing it inside the package. "I got Takano-san one too! I want you guys to wear your
matching ties and on your first day back to work!" She pressed. "Obaasan…." "No If's that's what it is!"
She said walking past me smiling. I walked downstairs to join the rest of the family. An-chan sat in
between me and Takano-san on purpose while we read a stupid Christmas book like we've done every
year since I was five. We then did presents. Takano-san got my mom and an-chan a new fragrance from
a popular line. He gave my dad a leather belt. He gave my grandmother a pair of bunny slippers and my
grandfather a new watch. (How he affords this I'm clueless. Well he is the boss after all.) "Oh"… He
fished through the box. "Well Onodera… it appears they didn't deliver your gift?" He looked at me
puzzled. "What how awful!" My mom shrieked. "It's okay just give it to me when it comes in." He smiled
and so did I causing everyone else to smile. Takano received the tie from my grandparents and office
supplies from An-chan. My parents gave him a snow globe that had all of our names etched into it. "This
proves that we are all family." They smiled at him warmly, An-Chan huffed in anger and I smirked.
Takano clearly uncomfortable. "Uh… Arigato." The corners of his mouth turned into a smile. "Takano-
san… I left your gift at home." I announced trying to look troubled. But he already knew that the very gift
I have gotten him was already wrapped around his left ring finger symbolizing that he belonged to me. I
gave everybody food gift cards not knowing what to get anyone. Of course this pissed my mom off. I
received a pair of leather shoes from An-chan and a new suit from my parents. I also received the tie
that matched the navy suit well. Presents went by smoothly, now was Christmas dinner.
We all sat around the table and I was truly enjoying myself. We had light hearted conversations about
how we were little and An-chan tried to jab it into Takano's face that she knew me first. I then pointed
out that the amount of time you know a person isn't nearly as important as to how much you like them.
She shrunk back angrily. "I still knew you first." She huffed. "An-Chan what's wrong? You haven't been
acting right all Christmas.?" My mom pressed. I glared at her pleading to keep silent. "Nothing nothing
at all." I sighed thankfully. "So Ricchan when are you getting a girlfriend?" I chocked on my swordfish…
Wiping my mouth with my napkin I cleared my throat. "Mom… this conversation again." I began "Yes
Ricchan! I want you to get married! I want you to find love!" "Mom!" I shouted. "I bet whoever you see
isn't as good as An-Chan." "Don't worry… Ritsu's fine." Obaasan cut in. My mom shifted her hungry gaze
on my poor grandmother. "What are you hiding form me mother!" She looked at her, my mothers eyes
filled with anticipation. My grandma made a lock and key sign and placed it in her pocket. My mom
huffed angrily. "Fine Fine" She began. "Can someone pass me the potatoes." My mom asked annoyed.
Me and Takano reached for the plate and our hands touched… and my mom gasped. I looked at her in
confusion. "Ritsu why are you and Takano-san wearing the same rings…. On your ring fingers. I glanced
down… Oh crap… Christmas was supposed to be perfect.
Oh Ritsu's in some deep crap now. Kya… I'm so excited!
