Summary: After returning from a reunion with his high school friends, Tezuka attends his choir's Christmas hat party. [TezukaxFuji]

Tezuka rummaged through his drawers to relocate a particular hat that he would be wearing for the party. The stoic youth, by mere coincidence (or by mistake, he couldn't really tell), was wearing his Seigaku jersey that day. He looked down at his shorts – 'I look like Jirou from Hyoutei with these particular shorts…' he scolded himself with a shake of his head before he returned to his search.

He pulled out a green hat and a red feather not far from it. He slipped the feather knowingly into the holes before he examined it. The Peter Pan hat he had gotten when he and his parents had visited Disneyland. 'I figured this would be used in these types of occasions…' he told himself before closing his drawer.

Tezuka went to the party with one of his cousins who brought along a Mad Hatter hat. She was, after all, a part of the choir as well. When they arrived, they greeted those who were already there. There were a variety of hats they were wearing, which amused the buchou inwardly. 'I wonder what kind of hat Syusuke would've brought to this type of gathering…' he mused to himself.

'I can already see the look on Syusuke's face if he sees me wearing this…' Tezuka added as he took off his Peter Pan hat and examined it, a small smile on his face. This smile, however, quickly faltered when his mind lingered on Fuji. 'So it's one day less of that two-week separation… Can't time go by any faster? Or can we just find time to see each other?'

Tezuka was stirred out of his thoughts when the games were about to start. He moved to participate in them – not that the stoic youth had any other choice. He set his bag down - along with his hat – on his seat before moving to listen to the instructions for the games.
