"Can I be my own quote?"

"Y/N! Y/N! Y/N!" I heard a voice scream into my ear, I bolted up from being startled and fell off the bed. There were both yellow and purple strands of hair peeking out from the bed. Angie and Kokichi gave me a smile as Shuichi helped me up from the ground.

"S-Sorry, i tried to stop them but they still came in..."

"It's fine, why are you two so excited..?" I turned around to the two, three if you count Kiibo sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Atua has blessed us with gifts and presents!"

"Not Atua! Santa!" Kokichi argued with the female.

Kiibo bit his thumb from the corner of the bed, "Let me get this correct, i've learned from my research that Santa is a legendary figure who is the traditional patron of Christmas in the United States and other countries, bringing gifts to children. His popular image is based on traditions associated with Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian saint. Father Christmas fills the role in many European countries--"

"Dont be boring Kiibo!" Kokichi cried, plugging his fingers into his ears. "And Santa isn't a fictional character! He's reaaaal!"

"He really isn't real..."

'That's cute, he still must believe in Santa...', placing my hand on his shoulders I nodded, "Absolutely real."

"Not you too, Y/N..."

"Can we go down and explore the new area! Apparently we have an ice skating rink! Atua wants to check it out!" Angie beamed grabbing my hand. She pulled me away from the trio and outside the dorms. Rushing down the stairs there was a gigantic tree smack in the middle.

"Woah..." I muttered, if i reached over far enough my fingers would skim one of the branches. 

Angie however didn't give me a chance to do just that. She dragged us down the staircase to where the rest of the cast were seated. "Finally you woke up."

"Thought you died in your sleep! My heart couldn't withstand that anxiety!" Tsumugi agreed with the astronaut before handing us a present. "Apparently this one is for you."

I gripped the box and it said, 'From Santa'. Snickering, my hands unwrapped the present nicely, I opened the tiny box and picked up what was inside of it, "Another jornal?.... And some utensils?"

"I noticed that you were running out of space in that borning old Deku notebook!" A voice interrupted. There on top of the tree like a star sat monokuma. "Maybe you could use this one to plan out murders instead of writing them down."

"...Thanks i guess.." I placed the book back down in my bag and some of the pens and pencils.

"That's such a boring gift!" Kokichi cried.

"What did you get then?"

"That's a secret~"

"He got a toy gun and some whoopee cushion" Angie spoiled pulling up a nerf gun. Kokichi grabbed it back upset. He threw himself back on the couch upset, slightly ramming himself into Kirumi by mistake.

"What did you get Angie?" I asked the Ultimate Artist. She happily pulled out a bag of Blankets and wooly socks. "That's it? I thought you would have gotten some art supplies?"

"I actually like the feeling of the wool!" The blond wrapped herself in the blanket falling on top of Gonta. Gonta moved what i'm assuming to be a net out of the way before she could completely crush it. 'I'm guessing that's his gift.'

Himiko excitedly showed me a new magic trick box and a new hat, she even demonstrated a trick for all of us to watch-- after a few practice tries in the corner of the room. Tsumugi, even though I hated her so much, I still watched as she unwrapped the gift and showed me the insides of the little sewing kit she had. I even showed her a few stitches and tricks to hook the sting into the little hoop. She looked at my bag and noticed the strap was struggling to stay together.

"Do you mind if i...?" The mastermind pointed to my bag.

"...Do you promise to be careful?"

"Of course!"

"Byall means, knock yourself out." I took off the bag from my shoulders and handed it to her. She excitedly grasped it and started her work.

Rantaro soon rushed in, shaking his hair to get rid of all the snow, "Apparently it's snowing outside...? Should i be concerned?"

"There's snow?" I asked.

"Take a look.." Rantaro pointed to his damp hair, "Besides, I noticed there were some sleds outside..."

"I call shotgun!" Kokichi screamed and bolted up from his seat. Almost trampling Angie in the process, it was snowing. 

"What a kid..." Kaito snickered before grabbing Makis hand, pulling the assassin up from her seat. He dragged her out the door, everyone behind her followed. Kirumi however did not let anyone else outside without putting on the proper attire.

Kirumi scanned the room and met my glaze, "You're not joining the rest outside?"

"I'm not a big snow person... cant i spend some time with you?" The gray hair female laughed and waved me over. I jumped up and rushed after her, she brought me into the kitchen and explained we were going to make hot chocolate for everyone. I grabbed the mugs from the counter and lined them up in a neat line for the milk to be poured in easily.

I rushed over to grab one of the cups before she stopped me, she held my wrist tightly, "I.. How about I do this part? I wouldn't want you to burn yourself."

"Sorry!"

"This is fine, how about you fetch some of the marshmallows and chocolate powder, hmm?" Kirumi instructed me as she lowered the heat on the milk. Grabbing the milk, Kirumi started to pour them evenly into each mug. "Y/N, could you wheel the tray over here?" I rushed outside the room and grabbed the trolly, wheeling it backwards to kirumi. "Hold it down in place for me, I'll take it and we'll switch positions." She placed the down one by one the mugs.

"I'll grab the door for you." I rushed ahead as she grabbed the cart. We walked back to the room, already hearing Kokichis loud whales. "Knock it off.."

I opened up the door to hear kokichi ask, "How did you know it was me?"

"I know your cry by heart--" 'and you're the only one who cries like that.'

"Nishishi! You caught me!" He moved on from me to Kirumi, "What do you have for mom?"

"Hot chocolate."

"We can play a movie while we drink this!" Tenko grinned. The cast agreed with her and Gonta moved ahead to collect some movies. In the end, thanks to Kokichi, we chose polar expressions and jumped on the couches. Angie snuggled up to my side with her blanket thrown over both of us. Gonta wrapped an arm around me and hooked a hand on my head, playing with my hair.

Honestly you guys don't understand how thankful and grateful I am for all of your support.  Sometimes I think I should quit the book and just drop it because my writing skill are ass but all the comments I see everyday in the chat... it literally warms my heart up so much.

Is it annoying I respond to every message— prob I'm sorry I'm just excited to see you all enjoy something.

It's good to know that somewhere out there, even if it's on a simple book, people are looking at all the hours of your work you put in and are enjoying it.

Honestly there's too many of you guys to thank, if I could I would ping every single one of you guys here.... I'm a little saddened when the book ends and you all move onto another one, however I'm grateful for all the time we have together now and all the love and support I do get....

Thank you for 30k reads and a shit ton of likes, how do I express this gratitude?

From the bottom of my heart
Merry Christmas and happy hanukah
Have a great winter break,
