Tact sat in the corner of the room, arms crossed in defiance and stared at his shoes. It was unnecessary. Everything was unnecessary and he had better things to do with his time. Christmas wasn't even a national Japanese holiday, and if the country felt no need to officially celebrate the event, then neither did he.

Of course, Silk had already called him the Grinch multiple times, in addition to throwing plastic baubles at him from across the room and, when she was feeling creative, planting scraps of tinsel and Santa stickers in his blazer pockets by some unknown method. Yes, her skills were impressive and useful to the team, but sometimes he wished she wasn't quite so talented.

He was grateful Smile never talked anyway, and so couldn't pester him about his lack of Christmas cheer. He had somehow managed to place himself on the narrow ledge over the window, working in collaboration with Silk as she handed him tacks and fairy lights from her position on the floor. She even threw one of the small metal pieces at the club leader, most likely missing him on purpose as so not to harm him, though he failed to find it amusing.

He had never celebrated Christmas before in his household so he didn't see the point in starting now. Granted, a contributing factor to his home's lack of festivities may have had something to do with Yagi's unenthusiasm, but he decided not to dwell on that.

Smile somersaulted off of the ledge in a completely unnecessary display of talent and landed across the room and next to the light switch. A whine entered the room as the lights were turned off and Tact later suspected that it may have come from him.

The multi-coloured lights went on almost immediately, illuminating the room and the smiling faces of his club mates.

Silk turned to him, throwing another bauble as she spoke, though he was used to her antics by this point and dodged the flying gold plastic with ease. "See, this isn't so bad."

Tact grimaced and leant back in his chair.
