Shigeo's POV

Christmas Day is approaching and I still don't have a gift for Y/n! This is horrible! Y/n is my girlfriend and I need to let her know that she's special to me. Everything she's done for me matters deep down in my heart, but I can't even express that right.

I glance down at my flip phone and check the time.

4:30 pm.

I have to be home by 6:00. That means I only have an hour and a half to go out shopping for Y/n. There's only one thing to do.

I have to call up Y/n's best friend.

Time Skip To: 4:50 pm

"Hey, Kageyama!" Teruki Hanazawa beckons for me to approach him.

"Hi there, Hanazawa," I greet him.

"Why'd you call me over here on such short notice? Is everything alright?" Teruki asks.

"I need some help shopping," I admitted. "Christmas is coming and I still don't have a gift for Y/n. I figured you'd know her better since you're her childhood friend."

Teruki's eyes lit up with eager excitement. "Why didn't you just say so? I'd be happy to help!"

"Really? You'd do that for me?"

Teruki patted my back. "Of course, man! I'd do anything for Y/n. She's really cool."

"Thank you, Hanazawa."

Teruki than led the way. "C'mon, I know the perfect place!"

Teruki had taken me to a store that girls usually shopped at. It was filled to the brim with stuffed toys, cute clothes, jewelry, and many other sparkly items.

"Are you sure we should be here?" I mumbled. "Everyone here is staring at us funny..."

"Nah, don't take notice of them," Teruki dismissed. "They just don't understand our crucial situation. We'll be out of here in no time, so there's no need to worry."

Time Skip

Teruki was so wrong. We've been stuck in the same store for a while and it's now 5:30.

The biggest problem was that every item at this store reminds me of Y/n, and I'm having trouble picking just one. I'm so hopeless that I don't know what to do with myself!

"Hey, Kageyama, are you feeling alright?" Hanazawa fretted. He set his hand on my shoulder.

I shake my head. "I just don't know which one is the right one."

Why is my voice so shaky right now? I can't allow myself to get worked up over this, I think.

Teruki then swings his arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer to him. "It's alright, man. There's no need to worry too much about this. Y/n's very special to you right?"

I nod.

"Well, Y/n feels the same way about you too. She told me herself." Teruki continues. I could feel myself blushing bright red. "She'll appreciate anything you give her, no matter how big or how small. Just trust your gut and it'll help you pick out the right thing."

I smile softly at Teruki. "Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it."

"Don't sweat it. I'm just helping out a friend." Teruki let me go. "Now, onto finding the right gift! I'm sure you'll figure it out before six."

I nod with a confident smile on my face. "Yeah, let's do this."

Time Skip To 6:00

"Look at that! You finally found the perfect gift, huh?" Teruki remarks as we walked home.

It had taken a little extra time and more girls staring at us, but something inside the store had caught my eye and I knew it was perfect for Y/n.

"I'm really hoping she'll like it." I take another glance at the newly wrapped gift and begin to feel sudden doubts.

What if this isn't the kind of thing Y/n likes at all? What if she never even bothers to try it on? Oh, man, am I a bad boyfriend for not asking these kind of things beforehand??

"Of course she'll like it, Kageyama," Teruki promised. "Remember, she loves you. Anything you get her will bring that adorable smile to her face."

"Yeah, you're right."

We suddenly approach my house.

"Well, I'll see you later. See ya!" Teruki waves his hand goodbye.

"Thank you for the help. Bye!" I wave back before heading inside. I have a lot to prepare for.

Time Skip

I hear my phone ring and I check it to see who could've sent me a message.

It's Y/n!

Y/n: Hey, Shige! I was wondering if you'd like to come over to my house on Christmas. My parents would love to have you over, even if it's for a little while 😄

Me: Yeah, of course. I'd love to

Y/n: Awesome! I'll see you then, ok? 😘

Me: Ok. I'll see you then

I could feel the heat rising to my face as I shakily write another message.

Me: I love you

Y/n: AWWW! I LOVE YOU TOO 😍💕

Y/N: YOU ARE THE SWEETEST THING EVER 😭❤️❤️

"She thinks I'm... sweet?" I mumble to myself. I swear that I have the dorkiest smile ever on my face.

Dimple then randomly appeared out of nowhere. "Whatchu doing there, kiddo?"

I yelp loudly and fumble with my hands nervously as I almost drop my phone. Quickly catching it, I take a couple deep breaths before facing Dimple.

"I'm not doing anything," I lie.

Dimple raised a suspicious eyebrow. "I'm not too convinced. You look really nervous."

"N-no, I'm not." This is of course another lie. I'm way too shaky and sweaty to sound convincing.

Dimple then smirks mischievously. "Does this have anything to do with Y/n, perhaps?"

My mouth hung open. "How'd-- How'd you know?! Am I that obvious??"

I wail in sheer embarrassment and agony. I can't believe that Dimple saw right through me!

"Listen, kid, you're not very good at keeping secrets," Dimple sighs. "What am I ever going to do with you?"

"I'm just a little nervous about Christmas," I reluctantly admit. "I got
Y/n a gift and I'm not sure if she'll even like it or not. I know Hanazawa told me not to worry, but..."

"Shigeo, everyone's gotta face disappointment in their lives-- even
Y/n," Dimple began.

Does he really not have that much faith in me? I wonder.

Dimple continued. "However, I can tell that she loves you very much and she's not the type to tell anyone anything bad about them. She's a sweet girl and I know she'll like whatever it is you bought her."

I smile. "Thanks, Dimple."

"Don't mention it."

Time Skip To Christmas Day

"Shige, I'm so glad you came!" Y/n cheered as soon as she saw me standing on her front porch. "Come on in."

She gave me a quick kiss on my cheek, making my entire face burn bright red.

"Thank you for inviting me," I stutter.

"You're welcome anytime." Y/n led me to the living room. "What do you want to do while we're here? Maybe we could cuddle and watch some Christmas movies, or we could eat some cookies that my mom made."

"I'd love to do those things," I beam. "I, um, I got you something the other day. I hope you like it."

I hold out the gift in front of me and Y/n gently takes it off my hands.

"Really? You got me something?" Y/n's cheeks flushed. "Aww, thank you! You're too sweet. Oh, I almost forgot! I got you a little something too."

Y/n set down the gift I'd gotten her and left the room momentarily to grab something. When she came back, she handed me a gift of her own.

"Thank you so much," I smile.

"Let's open these together!" Y/n suggests. I agree and we both begin tearing away at the wrapping paper.

I slowly pulled out the gift that Y/n got me. It was a plush toy that looked just like me! I couldn't believe it! It was so cute and soft, and I had no idea how she could've gotten her hands on something like this. I snuggled it close to my chest.

"Do you like him?" Y/n laughed. "I asked my friend to make him. She loves to sew things and I knew she'd be the right person for the job."

"He's beautiful. Thank you." I continue to hold the perfectly made creation in my arms.

Y/n then pulled out her gift. She let out a tiny gasp and immediately latched it around her neck.

"You got me a necklace?" Y/n's eyes filled with tears and she wore a great, big smile on her face. "It's so cute!"

I had bought her a golden necklace with a heart-shaped charm on it. Both of our names were ingraved in the charm.

Y/n pulled me in for a hug.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" She exclaimed.

I was blushing really hard. "Y-You're welcome."

"I love you so much, Shige. You're the best boyfriend anyone could ask for."

Y/n then gave me a big kiss right on my shaky lips. Startled, I hesitated to kiss back, but I knew she'd like for me to, so I did.

This was one of the best Christmas' I've ever had.
