Merry Christmas! I hope 2017 would brings lots of good fortune for everyone! :) And lastly, happy belated birthday, our dear prince!
The entire mansion was covered with red, green and gold to celebrate this year's Christmas. Although Christmas always comes at the end of the year, everyone couldn't help but be excited when the holiday arrives.
And per tradition, the fiver lovers personally set up the evergreen tree with various ornaments hung up on it. And at the foot of the tree, various presents were situated, waiting to be opened later on.
The lovers also had invited many of their friends to celebrate, and as the saying goes, the more the merrier. Everyone, including those reluctant to do so, dressed up for this occasion and wore the seasonal clothing.
"Eiji, put Ryoma down!" Oishi exclaimed as Eiji, who currently was wearing a red and puffy Santa's hat, raised Ryoma high up in the air. Again, due to the lovers, Ryoma wore a bright green sweater with a Christmas tree stitched on it. His pants also match the holiday colors as well. Needless to say, the lovers take a couple (a lot) of pictures with Ryoma in countless cute poses.
Ryoma squirmed within Eiji's grasp, not liking how fast he was ascending and descending. "Nnnn... No..."
"Nya, ochibi, you don't like it?" Eiji finally put Ryoma down, much to Oishi's relief. Once Ryoma's feet touched the ground, he began to walk toward the Christmas tree. By now, Ryoma was able to walk without help, although sometimes he would fall down.
The emerald-haired teen latched himself on the Christmas present with his name written on it (though it was pure coincidence that this happened since Ryoma grabbed the first present he set his eyes on), and proceeded to rip it. But unfortunately, the present was taken out of his grasp and Ryoma whined.
"Don't open your presents now, Ryoma," Tezuka said and stacked it on top of the other presents, out of Ryoma's reach.
"Saa, he's just excited," Fuji commented behind them and chuckled once Ryoma extended his arms, wanting to be held by the brunette; Fuji gladly obliged.
"Well, let's just hope that the presents would still be in good condition before everyone opened the gifts. Who knows what would happen if we let this guy out of our watch?" Yukimura joined the conversation and tapped Ryoma's nose teasingly.
Ryoma huffed his cheeks in response. He signaled his daddy to come closer and once Yukimura bent down, Ryoma smacked a wet kiss on his cheek. "Aww, I love you too." Yukimura returned the favor and Ryoma squealed in delight.
Recently - though it was still unknown as to who taught Ryoma this - Ryoma would kiss the lover on the cheek to say "I love you." And honestly, this was too adorable for the lovers to handle.
"What about me, Ryo-chan?" Fuji asked, wanting to be kissed by unfortunately, Ryoma turned his head and was staring at the ruckus the former Seigaku, Hyotei and Rikkaidai students were making. "Hmph, it seems that someone don't love me," Fuji pouted and Yukimura chuckled, patting his back to cheer Fuji up.
"What's so funny?" Sanada questioned as he stepped toward the group.
"Ryoma was distracted by our friends and didn't kiss Fuji when he asked Ryoma to do so," Tezuka filled him in.
Sanada nodded his eyes, "I see, but where's Keigo?" He glanced around the mansion, but the pompous diva was nowhere to be found. Usually, Atobe would make his presence known in such a grand event, but today was clearly the opposite.
"Wait, don't tell me he's actually planning to do that?" Yukimura asked, astonished albeit amused.
"Wow, if that's the case, I can't wait," Fuji smiled and his lovers had to agree on this point.
Suddenly, the lights were turned off and the spotlight was on, highlighting a white-beared man with a red suit. The man, who was clearly Santa, walked down the flight of stairs while carrying a pouch of presents. "Hohoho, are there any good children here?" Purple eyes looked around and landed on Ryoma.
He sauntered toward the baby and Santa asked, "Are you a good boy this year?"
Ryoma nodded, "Good boy." But suddenly something caught his interest and he stared at the mole underneath Santa's eye. "Oooh, da!" he exclaimed and pointed to Santa.
"No no no, I'm Santa, not daddy," Santa shake his head. "Anyways, good children deserve a good present, yes?" He reached into his pouch and take out a nicely wrapped present, handing it to Ryoma.
"Saa Ryoma, how about thanking Santa for the gift?" Fuji suggested, wanting to see if Ato- Santa would be rejected of a kiss. It wasn't fair if he was the only one!
Santa leaned down expectantly, but unfortunately, Ryoma went against his expectations by tearing his beard off. Atobe screeched in pain; God, that was painful.
The two sadists on the sidelines had quite a laugh along with the two stoic men.
While the lovers, and eventually everyone in the mansion, was laughing, no one noticed Ryoma muttering, "Tank you."
