I want to say sorry for my lack of knowledge and thank you for everyone that gave me new knowledge on the Military. That why I rather stay in the adult and biology field since I'm more knowledgeable about them.

So I took a small break for vacation but I got sick on the sixteenth of December but it was the 17th and 21st that I felt the worst. Anyway still sick but here is my small gift for all of you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I regret my decision. I was planning to ask Hikigaya-kun out. I was fed up with myself. I am Yukinoshita Yukino, I always accept the challenge and I'm straightforward. I don't like to lose. And yet when I saw him alone at our meet up, I lost confidence. My heart rate increases and I can hear each heart beat ringing in my ears. I even felt sticky and ugly. I know the fact that I'm actually cute. I still get confess to, the envy of other girls that hide it while talking to me. I should not feel this way but what can I do?

I found myself at a booth table. I was siting with Yuigahama-san on the same booth bench. The glass table was pretty nice for a café shop but then if you consider where we are. That would be the most congested and most busy airports during a rush hour. It makes sense that they want to make the décor modern. As I stated before, we are currently in a café shop, Hikigaya-kun went to provide us with hot beverages. Yuigahama-san who was beside me, was talking about the articles of clothing she was taking on her family's vacation. Yuigahama-san stood up, wave and called out our third member.

I took a glance at our third companion. Oh dear, how can he be so handsome. You can say whatever about it, lovestruck or rose color glasses. Hayama-san is handsome, ten out of ten, everyone in a classroom or public place would agree that he is handsome. Hikigaya-kun on the other hand he would get a ten out of ten being a creep. And yet this creep is a womanizer. How did Nee-san, Isshiki-san, Kawasaki-san, Hiratsuka-sensei, Yuigahama-san, and I develop this kind of feeling toward him? We all have certain feelings for this creepy dead fish eye boy and yet he is so dense to not notice. Do we have to carry a sign for you to notice?

"Finally, Hikki! We've been waiting so long, we thought you ditched us or something!"

Well it's not like he was flirting with the barista, there was a long line.

"It's not my fault. The line was really long. Also, it's rude to be so demanding of somebody who treated you by the way." Replied Hikigaya-kun.

What's rude is what you just said. No, it was rude but he does like to speak his mind. That is a charm of his. I won't say it like the bad boy trend that girls like in guys but I can't really reject it. Hikigaya-kun really can't be called a bad boy but his untidy hair, his cute ahoge can be consider unprofessional.

I actually like that.

"Is it not also rude to bring up that fact to the person that you are treating?" I asked.

For some reason he glared at me. And I don't find it bad.

"Whatever." He shrugged… "Still, if I ever offer to treat you guys again, remind me not to do it at a trendy place like this. At this rate, I'm going to be on the street the second my parents stop supporting me."

Well I would not mind… No, no Yukino as much as you like him at least make him work a bit, even if it is a part time job. Really now, I almost fell for his laziness. If you going to date me then it is natural to pay.

"Hmph. A real gentleman would offer to treat his companions without a second thought to the price. Be it WcDonalds or a fancy five-star restaurant, he would do it purely on principle alone." I replied while glancing at him.

Yeah and when have I ever given off the impression that I'm a gentleman?" He rebuked.

"You do have a point…" I said.

Well it is true that you don't give off a gentleman feel. But you are considerate. You do take our shopping bags and currently you purchase us drinks.

"So smarmy…" Yuigahama-san muttered as she began to distribute the drinks among us three.

We took a moment to quietly sip at and enjoy our drinks. Given the cold weather, the warm taste of coffee on our lips was enough to make us sigh out in satisfaction and comfort.

Would Hikigaya-kun enjoy a coffee date? As I was thinking about this question, the mood was better and the conversation resumed.

"So Yuigahama-san, do you and your parents have any particular plans for Christmas while in China?" I asked her after I took a sip of my green tea latte.

Sorry Yuigahama-san but this question was just an introduction, a way for Hikigaya-kun to talk and maybe get some info from him. I'm not asking much just wanted to know if he has plans.

"Eh, sort of but not really. I've heard that Christmas is not really celebrate in China all that much so there probably won't be any big events or special festivals or anything on that day. I think my dad said he wanted us to go check out some popular tourist attractions on Christmas Eve," Yuigahama-san answered.

Well that does make sense.

"Ah, I see. I believe you're correct about the majority of China in regards to Christmas. I do not think the Christmas holiday has permeated culture like it has with Japan. On that topic… the topic of Christmas I mean… Erm, I brought your gift with me today so I could give it to you before you boarded the plane," I said.

"Really? Thanks, Yuinon!" Yuigahama-san pulled me into a tight hug, I had an embarrassed reaction. I can feel the warmth in my cheeks. This prompted of embarrassed reaction not only affect me but Hikigaya-kun too.

After she released me, I reached into my bag and pulled out a small box that was neatly wrapped and with a bow on top. But before I gave it to Yuigahama-san, I shot a glare at Hikigaya-kun.

I'm not going to be the only one to get embarrass from this, you have to get embarrass too.

Hikigaya-kun shrugged and pulled out his gift for Yuigahama-san which was in his jacket pocket.

"Yeah, me too. Merry Christmas." He said as he handed her the box.

As Yuigahama-san took the gift in her hands, her mouth opened up slightly in an 'O' shape.

"Wow, Hikki showing this type of consideration and pre-planning is kind of amazing. Uh, I mean… Thanks Hikki! Merry Christmas!" Yuigahama-san said with a trance like expression on her face.

"Well, you know me, I totally a thoughtful guy." Hikigaya-kun said as he sipped his coffee.

Really, I send him a smile across the table. He shifted his eyes away. I called you a week ago. It might have been a bit late but it was an important issue. I wanted to accompany Yuigahama-san and her parents to the airport on the day of their trip. It was polite thing to do but also Yuigahama-san is my best friend. The fact you agreed to it but wish me good luck while trying to end the call. I gave him the silent treatment over the phone. I berated him that a good friend would see her off. In the end he agreed to tag along with me to see Yuigahama-san off at the airport.

"Aww thanks Yukinon and Hikki, I'm really happy you guys cared enough to bring me gifts early! But I'm not going to let you upstage me so easily," Yuigahama-san said cheerfully while reaching into her bag that was resting beside her. "That's why I brought you guys your gifts too!"

Yuigahama-san pulled out two reasonable sized boxes and handed them to us. Well the gift lack presentation, the wrapping was substandard and the paper was mismatched and patches were wrinkled. Still, I'm happy I received a gift from her.

We took our gift. Hikigaya-kun was analyzing the gift.

"Uh, what is it?" He asked.

Really?

"Well, I can't just tell you. You'll find out once you open it, of course," Said Yuigahama-san. "Sometimes, you ask really dumb questions Hikki." As she puffed out her cheeks.

"Well, it's not going to make much of a difference if you tell me or not since I'm pretty much going to find out in a few seconds anyways." Replied Hikigaya-kun.

"Huh? What do you mean? Today's only the 22nd, I think. That means there still two days to go before Christmas Eve," Said a confuse Yuigahama-san.

Well it is understandable why she is confused and well I do understand why Hikigaya-kun thinking of opening it up early.

"I believe that Hikigaya-kun is under the impression that we were all going to open our gifts now since you'll be in China on the day of the actual Christmas Eve. If we open the gift now, we can all share the experience together whereas otherwise, we would be unable to. It's actually somewhat of a pleasant thought on Hikigaya-kun's part… if expressed a little brutishly." I interjected.

"Whoa, was that a compliment? Is that your gift to me this year?" Said Hikigaya-kun.

What! No if anything… No let it go.

Really, if I had the chance it would be us in wood cabin with a blazing fireplace...

No, I already told myself no. Not to go there.

"Hm, I wonder about that."

"Wait you guys. As nice as that sounds and as much as I want that to happen, opening Christmas presents before Christmas Eve is like a cardinal sin isn't it? That would totally go against the spirit of Christmas!" Said Yuigahama-san.

Yukino, she is your best friend. It is fine to not understand her, most of the time.

"You celebrate Christmas but you don't know the first thing about the religion huh… That's about the furthest thing from a cardinal sin," He rebuked.

Yuigahama-san huffed and looked away, "Hmph. Well still, it's kind of go against the spirit of Christmas so I think we should wait…"

I'm not sure I like that. I kind of want to see their surprise expression on their face. I eyed Yuigahama-san, "…Are you sure Yuigahama-san?"

"Yeah, I don't mind. I can text you guys after I open your gifts and I'll thank you for them then too! I don't know… It's just that having Christmas Eve without any presents to open is just sort of depressing you know? There has to be something to look forward to or it isn't really Christmas." Yuigahama-san gave a smile that clearly showed she firmly believed in what she was saying.

Yuigahama-san smiled shyly and wrapped her arms around my shoulder, drawing me in closer.

"That's why, I would like to wait," She smiled.

In response of the sentimental answer, I placed my hand on Yuigahama-san's arm and squeezed it lightly.

"Okay, we'll wait to open your gift then. Thank you again, Yuigahama-san." I replied.

"Thank you to you guys too. Even though we'll be apart, I know we'll have a great Christmas."

Well that was nice way to foreshadow my plans with Hikigaya-kun.

Hikigaya-kun and I nodded.

After the conclusion of our conversation, we all finished our drinks and upon checking our watches, realized that it was almost time for Yuigahama-san to catch up with her parents to board her flight. We ended up walking with her as far as we were allowed to without having to go through customs or a security check. At the cusp of the terminal entrance, I began to speak.

"Yuigahama-san, I believe it would be best if we parted ways here. After all, you should not keep your parents waiting long or they'll start to worry."

Yuigahama-san let out a brief sigh but then spoke in agreement, "Ah, I guess so huh?"

"Yeah, you should at least get through security as soon as possible. If there's a complication, you might end up getting held back and you'll miss your flight." Said Hikigaya-kun.

Yuigahama-san just nodded. "Uh huh. You're right."

Although her words were of agreement, they almost seemed melancholy in nature. From the looks of it, it seemed that Yuigahama-san was reluctant to part with us and give us her final goodbyes. This cause a throb in my chest.

With another sigh, she then took in a deep breath and raised up her head, facing us with a large smile stretched out across her facial features. "Okay then! Bye you guys! Have an amazing Christmas for me, okay?"

With those kind words, she pulled me into a large hug and squeezed me. I swore I heard some bones pop. She released me.

"Hey, you too Hikki!"

"Huh?" He blinked.

He focuses his attention on Yuigahama-san, I think he finally notice our hug was concluded. She was looking at Hikigaya-kun with an expectant gaze. For some reason I can tell what he was thinking, and that was he wanted to know about that embarrassed look on her face and why are you eyeing me like you are expecting something?

"You want something?" He asked.

"Oh, you really are hopeless Hikki! Come here!"

Yuigahama-san's arms were wrapped around him and he was enveloped in a hug. He seems to murmur something but he slightly wrapped his arms around her as well and he patted her lightly.

I'm not jealous at all.

"Yeah… Have a good trip. See you after the break."

After they broke apart, she gave him a small yet warm smile. "Mhm. Bye Hikki."

Hikigaya-kun replied with a lazy smile of his and nodded.

With a final goodbye, Yuigahama-san took off through the security checkpoint and gradually became a smaller dot in the sea of swarming airport goers. Before long, she was out of sight and it was only Hikigaya-kun and I were left standing there together.

"I know it is only for a few weeks, but doesn't it feel sort of sad in a way? Without Yuigahama-san around, I feel like Christmas might not be the same…" I asked quietly with a sad smile.

When we spend time together it was warm. I don't know what going to happen.

"Well, it's not like you're wrong. By definition, Christmas this year will definitely be different without her around, at least when compared to the previous one."

"If that's your attempt at cheering me up, I'll have to let you know that you're doing a terrible job," I replied pouting through my sour look.

If you want to cheer me up. I want a hug from you.

"Well… I wasn't done yet," He coughed. "Of course, thing are going to be different, but that doesn't automatically mean that they'll be bad."

I'm not sure what he trying to say but I'm still gloomy. Hikigaya-kun just sign and then continued.

"Listen, Yuigahama's going to have a good time on her family vacation and I'm sure that she wants you to have a good Christmas as well. If she hears that you were miserable because of something that has to do with her, she is only going to blame herself."

Yeah, I know that might be the case. It really is logical. I guess I can try.

"That's why the best thing you can do for her is to not worry about her and try to enjoy your own holiday."

I rub my hands together and with a soft sigh. I eventually replied, "I suppose so…"

I looked at Hikigaya-kun and gave him a small smile.

Hikigaya-kun return the expression with a lazy smile, and then nodded in the direction of the closest exit. "Come on, we should probably get going before the traffic pick up."

I nodded and together we exited through the airport.
