Yep. It's another one-shot. This one is an actual one-shot though. I wasn't planning for it, but I guess you can consider this and the Halloween one-shot as being in the same canon of A Flower's New Garden. Also, Nagisa is actually growing in this fanfic. While I do find the fact that Nagisa didn't grow an inch funny, I just feel like it's better for him to grow taller in this fanfic's canon. He grew three inches since the Assassination Classroom. That makes him five six, or 168 cms

"Sakura. Sakura?" Sakura snapped back to attention. Nagisa smiled down at his adorable student.
Sakura and Nagisa were sitting in the living room of their apartment and watching a movie. Sakura was sitting in Nagisa's lap, resting against his chest as he sat cross legged on the couch. The two were wrapped up in a thick blanket, enjoying a movie. They were dressed in Christmas themed pajamas, and two mugs formerly filled with hot chocolate were sitting on top of the kotatsu in front of them. Nagisa even had his hair down.
"Are you okay? You're daydreaming again." he said.
"I'm fine…" Sakura sighed as she looked down at her fingers. Nagisa's smile faded and he studied her.
"Are you thinking about Christmas?" he guessed. Sakura squeaked.
"How do you always do that?!" she cried as she stared at him in shock. Nagisa smirked at her.
"You're my student. I know everything about you." he teased as he poked her on the nose. Her cheeks puffed up.
"So. What do you want to do for Christmas?" Nagisa asked Sakura as she crossed her arms. Sakura fell into thought
"I don't know. Will there be a Christmas Party?" she asked.
"I don't think so. But we can do a Secret Santa for the group. Maybe sing a few songs. Dress up a tree. Eat so much we feel like we have grease for blood." Nagisa listed. Sakura giggled slightly at the end.
"Can the group all be here?" she asked.
"Probably. Karma, Kayano, Sugino, Nakamura, Kanzaki, Itona, and Okuda. I'll talk to them about it." Nagisa said. Sakura nodded before stifling a yawn. Nagisa smiled at her.
"Why don't you go to sleep. It is pretty late." he suggested. Sakura mumbled before closing her eyes. Nagisa watched as she fell asleep. He shifted the both of them gently and slowly, eventually lying down on the couch. Sakura was snuggled up on top of him under the blanket. He ran his fingers through her hair gently with a soft smile before falling himself asleep as well. They were unaware of a pair of troublemakers watching them.
"Do we take pictures?" Nakamura whispered.
"It won't affect Nagisa, but we can tease Sakura with it." Karma said as they raised their phones. A pair of hands pushed them down.
"Bedtime." Kayano said as she dragged them back into their room.
-Line Break-
"Wow… there are so many people here." Sakura said in surprise. Nagisa nodded from next to here. They were at the mall, where there were a lot of Christmas shoppers.
"Nagisa, isn't Christmas a while away?"
"The closer it gets to Christmas, the more customers are around. The more customers around, the less products to buy. The less products to buy, the harder it is to find a good present." Nagisa explained as they walked around, holding hands. They were, quite obviously, looking for a present for their Secret Santa partners.
"So, what do you think I should get my Secret Santa?" Sakura asked as she walked around.
"I don't know. It's your secret." Nagisa reminded Sakura. She frowned. Nagisa chuckled and gave her a pat on the head.
"Do you think you can be fine for a little bit?" he asked.
"Yeah, I should be okay." Sakura nodded.
"Great. We'll meet in the Food Court in say, two hours?" Nagisa suggested. Sakura nodded, and the two separated.
"Now, time to get everyone a present." Nagisa mused. He had his Secret Santa, but he wanted to give them all a present. He was just going to give his Secret Santa one extra. He spotted a video game store and went inside. He found several video games and quickly grabbed them.
'Itona, Karma, and Sakura. They'll all love these.' he thought happily. He quickly paid and left. In just a couple minutes, he managed to find presents for everyone he lived with and the people coming over.
"It's a good thing we came early." Nagisa said to himself.
'Now I need to find a gift for my Secret Santa.' he thought as he walked around. Stopping, he stared through a window of a store. There was a giant, Sephiroth-style Nodachi.
"...No. I already have what I need. I don't need to buy something else." Nagisa said to himself firmly. He walked away. And came back a few seconds later.
"Eh, what's a few more presents?" he shrugged.
-Line Break-
One or two hours later, on the other side of the mall, Sakura was going around, looking for a present to buy her teacher and his friends. It was easy to buy a present for Karma, Itona, and Kayano. For Karma, she bought him a prank-kit, unaware of the terrible mistake she was making. For Kayano, she bought her a bunny plush. For Itona, it was a model helicopter. Now she just had to figure out a present for Nakamura, Nagisa, and Kanzaki, and find a pair of baseball shoes for Sugino.
"Hm… maybe I'll get Nakamura a belt. Maybe she'll finally keep her pants on." Sakura deadpanned as she grabbed a black leather belt. That just left Kanzaki and Nagisa. For Kanzaki, she was thinking about getting her a new video game, but she had a feeling that everyone else was getting her a video game, so she decided to get something else for the pretty lady. But for Nagisa, she really didn't know what to get him.
While Nagisa could read her like a book, she couldn't read him the same way. She knew he was nice. She knew he was gentle with her. She knew that, according to their roommates, the few times he would get angry, he would be terrifying. She knew he liked sushi, but that doesn't necessarily make for a good Christmas present.
"Hm…" she wondered. Maybe she'll ask Ms Hiromi. She looked up at the clock and balked.
"Oh man, I'd better get going." she said as she took off. She headed towards the Food Court. Arriving there, she spotted the familiar head of blue hair and hurried over.
"Hey Nagi… sa…" she stopped. Nagisa was standing with a tall tower of presents. Boxes stacked on top of each other, coming up to at least eight feet. The two stared at each other.
"...I thought we had a budget."
"I… got a little ahead of myself."
-Line Break-
Sakura watched from the doorway of the living room. Nagisa was asleep on top of the couch, guarding the pile of presents under and around the Christmas tree they had decorated the night before. Karma and Nakamura had tried to sneak a peek at the presents about an hour before, but Nagisa had snapped awake and threw them back into the room.
"Baby Bulb? What are you doing up?" Sakura started with a small 'eep' and whipped around. Itona was staring at her with his amber eyes wide awake. She puffed up her cheeks in anger at the nickname.
"Don't call me Baby Bulb!" she hissed. Itona simply stared at her.
"What are you doing up?" he repeated. Sakura frowned.
"I'm trying to think about a present for Nagisa." she said as she turned back to looking at Nagisa. She blinked.
"Wait." she turned back to Itona.
"What are you doing up?"
"I'm going to sneak a peek at the presents." Itona said.
"Eh hem." the two froze. They turned to see Nagisa. He lifted Sakura under his arm and slung Itona over his shoulder before carrying them back into the room. Kayano was sleeping soundly on her back in the futon on the floor. Nakamura was snoring lightly as she dangled her arm and leg from the hammock. Karma's snores were coming up from the floorboards underneath. Nagisa set Itona down in front of his closet, and the white haired emo crawled in. He lifted Sakura up and set her down in her hammock before tucking her in.
"Go to sleep Sakura. You need to get plenty of it." Nagisa instructed.
"Okay Nagisa." Sakura nodded. Nagisa smiled and brushed some hair out of her face and left the room. Itona slid the closet door open.
"I may have failed this time. But I'll make it next time." he swore before closing the door. Sakura stared at the door with a sweatdrop.
'He's so weird.' she thought. She turned back to the room's door with a furrowed brow.
'Seriously, what do I get Nagisa?'
-Line Break-
"So yeah, I really need your help." Sakura moaned as she slumped over the table. Hiromi and her husband, Kyo, exchanged looks. Hiromi shushed a fussing baby, Nagisa's new baby sister.
"Certainly is a head-scratcher." Kyo commented.
"I'm sorry Sakura, but I don't think we can help. As I raised Nagisa, every Christmas, I gave him dresses. And, I don't think you should give him those." Hiromi said sadly.
"And I never really got to know Nagisa. I only got to see him every few months for a couple of hours." Kyo admitted.
"Come ooooonnn! You have to have some kind of idea…" Sakura moaned as she grabbed her head. Kyo sighed.
"Okay, let's do this step-by-step. What do you know about Nagisa?" Kyo asked. Sakura looked up.
"Uh, he's scary when angry. He's nice all the other times. He likes teaching, sushi, cooking. He, uh, likes snakes?" Sakura listed.
"I think he also liked playing instruments." Hiromi added.
"Okay, so we actually have a few things we can give him." Kyo said.
"Like what?" Sakura frowned.
"Snakes, sushi, teaching tools, cooking equipment." Kyo listed off his fingers. Sakura frowned again.
"I don't think I can get him a snake. And I can't cook." she said.
"How about an instrument?" Hiromi suggested. Sakura thought about this.
"That… could work." she said.
"Not really." a new voice spoke up. The three turned to see Karma walking in, followed by Nakamura.
"Hey Baby Bulb! We're here to pick you up." Nakamura said.
"Don't call me Baby Bulb!"
"What do you mean Akabane?" Kyo interrupted the irritated Sakura.
"Well, I already bought a instrument for Nagisa. And Nakamura bought Nagisa some cooking equipment." Karma explained.
"I got him a pretty little apron. Perfect for the mommy he is!" Nakamura said with a mischievous smile.
"He's not just a mom. He's the whole pair." Karma joked.
"But! But! But what am I supposed to get?!" Sakura moaned as she grabbed her head.
"Why don't you make him a card?" Karma suggested.
"I'm not going to half-butt it like that." Sakura frowned. Karma and Nakamura snickered.
"'Half-butt'?" Karma repeated. Sakura pointed at the sleeping baby.
"Good point. Hm… How about you make him a cup?" Nakamura suggested. Sakura looked at her.
"A cup?"
"A cup. I know a pretty easy recipe. All we need is the stove, baking soda, cornstarch, water, a pot, and some markers. Easy!" Nakamura said as she counted off her fingers. Karma smiled.
"Now there's an idea. I'll help out." he said. The four people deadpanned at him.
"Yeah… no." the three said in unison.
"What? Why not?" Karma protested.
"You remember the last time we let you try to help out?" Hiromi deadpanned at the redhead.
-Line Break-
"I asked you to take out the pots." Kyo deadpanned. Karma silently nodded. The two stared at the sight before them. They were out camping with Nagisa and Sakura. Where the campfire was, there was now a giant tree. Nagisa walked up to the tree and gave it a tap. It was solid wood.
"How…" Sakura rasped.
"...I honestly don't know."
-Line Break-
"Oh come on, that was like, a year ago!" Karma protested.
"It was last week!" the four yelled. The baby promptly began to wail.
-Line Break-
"Merry Christmas!" Sugino and Kanzaki said as they walked in, carrying presents. Nagisa turned and smiled.
"Sugino! Kanzaki! Just in time. Set them down over there and take a seat!" he said as he carried a large, spatchcocked turkey out of the kitchen and set it on the table, where Kayano and Sakura were making sure that Itona didn't steal any food. Nakamura and Karma were sitting on the other side of them, and Okuda was sitting in between them. The table was a large square, and it was able to fit all nine people comfortably.
(Quick note, the inside of Nagisa's apartment is a lot like Miss Kobayashi's apartment, just bigger. Just to make it easier to imagine.)
On the table, aside from the turkey, was a feast. There was food for every person. Karma had a plate of curry and naan bread. Nakamura had Nagisa's homemade pizza. Itona was sitting with a bowl of chicken Paitan Ramen. For where Sugino was going to be sitting, there was a plate of fried chicken breast. Kayano had a plate of sliced ham. Kanzaki would be having chicken pot pie. Okuda had a vegetable stew. Sakura was going to eat a plate of steak covered in delicious steak sauce. And for Nagisa, there was a plate of sushi. Everyone also had some sliced ginger for refreshing their taste buds. Sugino and Kanzaki were quick to sit down.
"Now, what do we say?" Nagisa asked.
"Itadakimasu!" the other eight chorused. They all began digging in, enjoying their favorite dishes and cutting off pieces of the turkey. There was a bottle of apple cider and grape juice in the middle as well. Karma was drinking a cup of strawberry milk.
"Gosh dang Nagisa! This tastes awesome!" Sugino said as he ripped off a piece of fried chicken with his teeth.
"This is quite delicious." Kanzaki agreed with a pretty smile. Nagisa blushed slightly.
"Thank you. I've been cooking for a long time." Nagisa said. He looked down at Sakura, who had sauce at the corner of her mouth. He picked up a napkin and began wiping her mouth, much to Sakura's protests. Karma and Nakamura giggled at the sight of Nagisa acting motherly towards Sakura.
"Hey Nagisa, what's for desert?" Kayano asked.
"Cake, pudding, macarons, and some others. I wanted to make everyone's favorite desserts, but I ran out of ingredients." Nagisa said sheepishly. Karma shrugged.
"Eh well, can't win them all." he said as he tucked another piece of curry covered naan into his mouth. He licked a drop of curry from the corner of his lip.
"I wonder why Nagisa's better at making ramen than the supposed ramen expert of the class." Itona said as he slurped up some more ramen.
"He's just forced to follow his dad's recipe." Nagisa insisted as he wiped the struggling Sakura's mouth again.
"Nagisa! I can wipe my own mouth!" Sakura protested. Nagisa looked down at Sakura.
"Oh, sorry. I don't know why I keep wiping your mouth." Nagisa apologized as he put the napkin down.
"You're just a nice person Nagisa." Okuda said kindly. Nagisa smiled back at her. Dinner was filled with eating, drinking, joking, and funny stories. The nine were happy. Soon, they finished eating both their dinner and the dessert. Nagisa was practically glowing from the praise they showered him with.
"Alright! Time for presents, then we'll be binge-watching some Netflick." Nagisa said. The group cheered and they walked over to the mountain of gifts. Karma grabbed a large box and tossed it over to Nagisa.
"Merry Christmas Nagisa." he said. Nagisa smiled and ripped the paper off. His smile widened at the sight of the beautiful guitar inside.
"Thanks Karma! Here, here's your gift. Uh, gifts." Nagisa said as he handed over a couple.
"You uh, went a little overboard there." Karma sweatdropped. He ripped open the biggest box, and paused. He pulled out the newest gaming console.
"Woah! Where did you get the money to buy that?!" Sugino gasped. Nagisa stared at him.
-Line Break-
"So… I can just, take, anything?" Nagisa repeated. A man dressed in rich clothes nodded.
"Yes. It's the least I can do. You did save my daughter from being robbed." he said, patting the head of his twelve year old daughter.
"Oh, I didn't mind. I tutor a girl around her age, so I couldn't just stand by. You don't have to pay me." Nagisa assured.
"Please, I insist." the man said as he pressed an expensive jewelry box filled with priceless jewelry into Nagisa's hands.
"Oh, but I-"
"Use it for your student." the man suggested. Nagisa paused.
-Line Break-
"...Secret." Nagisa finally said.
"Well I'm not complaining." Sugino said as he held up his beautiful new bat, glove, and snow-white baseball. Itona nodded as he looked over his new laptop. Sakura looked at her massive nodachi with sparkling eyes.
"Here Nagisa." Nakamura said with a devilish face. Nagisa looked at her smirk suspiciously, but took it. He ripped the paper open, and deadpanned at the sight of a pink apron with the words, Kiss the Mommy Cook, in red.
"...thanks." Nagisa said. Sakura looked between Nagisa and the presents he got her. A new video game, a teddy bear, the nodachi, a pretty sweater. It made her amateurish mug look pitiful in comparison.
"Hey Sakura. Why don't you give Nagisa your present?" Kayano urged. She had helped Sakura make the cup. She knew that Nagisa would like it. Sakura gulped and grabbed the small box.
"Here Nagisa…" she said nervously. Nagisa looked at it and took it. He carefully peeled off the tape and undid the paper wrapping.
"I wonder what this is…" Nagisa said as he opened the box. He stopped, and slowly took out the mug. It wasn't a perfect circle, and it was slightly slanted on top. On the mug, in permanent marker, was the message, 'World's Best Teacher'.
"Do… do you like it?" Sakura asked nervously. Nagisa scooped her up and squeezed her. Sakura gave an 'eep'.
"I love it. Thank you." Nagisa said honestly. Sakura smiled after a bit and hugged him back.
"Aw, that's cute." Kayano said happily.
"I told you he'd like it." Karma said.
