December 4th: Thursday
Theme: 5. Christmas Carols
Hiro found himself humming to the Christmas songs playing over Frostbite's radio. This was the last homework assignment for his Religion 100 class before finals started and overall he was in a great mood.
"Carol of the Bells?"
Hiro smiled to himself. Right on cue, Tadashi had shown up. "Yup. Hello Tadashi," he greeted.
Tadashi dropped into the empty chair. This time he was carrying a doughnut in one hand and his beverage in his other. After placing them on the table, he hung his brown shoulder bag on the back of the chair and unbuttoned his thick green jacket. "It's getting colder outside," Tadashi remarked. "Is Carol of the Bells your favorite Christmas song?"
Hiro shook his head. "I don't have a particular favorite. Just whatever was playing at the time I suppose. And you should invest into a scarf. Your cheeks are going to be permanently red at this rate."
Tadashi laughed. His cheeks were a bright red from the cold. "One day I'll remember," Tadashi said. "How are your classes going?"
Hiro shrugged. "Alright, I suppose. This is the last homework assignment for my Religion 100 class."
"And you waited until today to do it," Tadashi teased lightly.
"Shut up," Hiro said playfully. "It's already done, I'm just checking my answers." Hiro had finished an hour ago. It wasn't math or physics, but the answers were easy enough.
The song changed to Sleigh Ride. Tadashi grinned and sang along with the first few lines.
'Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring-ting-tingling too,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you'
"That's my favorite Christmas Song," Tadashi said. His head bounced in rhythm with the rest of the song.
Hiro smiled. That wasn't a surprise. What could be more perfect than a cheerful and bouncy song for someone who was as nice and happy as Tadashi?
Our cheeks are nice and rosy,
And comfy cozy are we,
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be,
Let's take that road before us,
And sing a chorus or two,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
