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?

Maybe if it was Nokoru-sama, it would be okay. I didn't mind him. He was always nice to me when we were in classes together. However…

Today, there was another package, yet again accompanied with a candy cane. Inside was a pristine white terry-cloth robe. On the hem, were embroidered seven cherry blossoms. Now I was certain that Seishirou-san was the one sending the gifts. Then again, I had once told Nokoru-sama that I liked sakura. Perhaps, he remembered and was sending me this, not knowing that sakura now only brought pain to my heart; they remind me of him.
