Twelve Days of Christmas

by Kiaran Dryaalis

Title should actually be Twelve Days until Christmas, but then it wouldn't make sense to me. It's twelve days until Christmas and Subaru finds an anonymous gift by his front door. As the days go by, he gets more gifts. But who's sending them?

5. December 18

December 18, 1997

I had gotten to the onsen late last night and had gone to bed first thing. Now, I was headed to one of the springs on the small private estate that had been reserved in my name. I slid into the hot spring and took a deep breath, closing my eyes. It had been a long time since I got to relax.

It wasn't until I opened my eyes again that I saw the candles; five of them, sitting amongst the rocks. Each one held a charm. Together, they read "Suki da, Subaru-kun."

Only one person called me that. Seishirou-san.

Author's Note: Big thanks to my cousin for helping me with this one. For those of you who don't know, "suki da Subaru-kun" means "I really like you, Subaru-kun." The charms go as follows:

1. Suki
2. Da
3 and 4. Subaru (Because Subaru has two characters)
5. kun

Yeah. That's all. -hides-
