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?

It is my last day at the onsen. I wanted to enjoy the hot springs once more, but the gifts keep coming and keep confusing me. I don't know if it's Seishirou-san sending these gifts or my old friend Nokoru-sama. Whichever it is, they're spending too much money on an undeserving individual.

This morning, I found another candy cane decorated envelope. Inside were eight season tickets to Tokyo's most expensive art museum. Nokoru was really the only one who shared my passion for art. Though, Seishirou-san might have picked up on it. Either way…they shouldn't spend so much on me.

Author's Note: Ame helped with this one, too.
