December 20th

"Alright, children, simmer down!" Came the ecstatic request of Kameko's.

"Most of us are older than you-"

"Sit down on your bum, and zip your mouth shut, you pretty boy." Barked the girl and pointed to one of the unoccupied seats.

Ruki sat down onto the chair with a scoff and returned to his book. When the whole squad, er, vampires, were finally sitting down, Kameko began her wondrous speech, "In a mere five glorious days, the festive day of Christmas will finally arrive. The feel is one of gratitude and prosperity, the air lingering of roasting chestnuts-"

"I can inform you that we all acknowledge the pain that is Christmas, but tell me, was there a point in your useless gibber?"

"I beg your pardon? Useless gibber?? Well, excuse me if I wanna celebrate the joy that this holiday brings and-"

"GET TO THE DAMN POINT, CHICKPEA."

With a hand over her heart, she feigned a sigh, "Somebody's being the Grinch," a giggle erupted from her mouth and she pulled out a cap she hid behind her back, "Fine, fine. I brought you all here so we could all do . . ."

She paused for a dramatic effect, but all she received were many dirty looks,"Secret Santa, yay!!"

Honestly, she didn't know what to expect. Kameko knew nobody would actually compliment her risky idea. It was safe to say it was right.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

"HELL NO."

"Fuck your secret Santa; I have better things to do."

"WAIT. YOU MEAN WE GOTTA GIVE GIFTS TO THESE FILTHY MUKAMI'S?"

Something along those lines.

"That's the spirit! Here, pass the hat around and pick a piece of paper out." She took a small, folded up piece of paper from the black cap and gave it to Kou, who refused to take it, "Aw~ Kitty, why do we have to get somebody we hate presents? I'd rather get a little gift for Ruki-kun~"

"TAKE THE DAMN SLIP OF PAPER."

With a grumble, all of the boys took out a sheet of paper, and you got your hat back. Before you put it on, a gift was already in place.

"OKAY. WHO SPIT IN MY CAP?"

-

This was absolute hell. Buying gifts for people who tried to kill you constantly and think of their own interests seemed kind of . . . off. Kameko, herself, had already finished shopping and gift-wrapping. The others . . . not so much.

This would be a hell of a Christmas.

-

December 25th

"TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY, FA~LA~LA~LA~LA~LA~LA~LA" She sang happily as she bounced up and down from the couch.

"OKAY, OKAY, SHUT UP NOW."

"Yes, yes, let's start with the gift-giving. All of the gratitude, Chop, chop!" She clapped her hands and placed her wrapped gift on her lap.

Kameko --> Azusa

"Oh, oh! Me first!" She raised her arm in the air enthusiastically, if someone were to actually volunteer to go before her, "Here you go, Azusa!"

"Ah . . . Thank you . . ." He gingerly took the box from her hands and quickly ripped the wrapping-paper off. The box was relatively small and light, so it wasn't too hard to open.

"Oh . . . What is it . . .?" His lips turned into a small frown of confusion.

"Mmph!" She laughed, "I know how you always cut, which is a big no-no by the way, so, I got you bandages!"

He nodded, ". . . What are these weird things on it?"

"They're Hello Kitty bandages!"

"Ah."

He didn't look too happy, which caused her eyebrows to furrow, "You don't seem too happy . . . SHOULD I HAVE GOTTEN YOU THE ONES WITH THE DINOSAUR DESIGNS?"

Azusa --> Reiji

"I guess it's my turn now . . ." He gave the big box he held to Reiji, "Merry Christmas, Reiji-san.

"Oya, what do we have here?" He pushed up his glasses and opened it, "Silverware . . .?"

"I know you like . . . silverware, which I don't . . . personally understand, but . . . Here you go."

"Thank you, I am indeed very grateful- wait, why is the tip of this knife stained?"

Azusa giggled, "It looked sharp . . . and it was . . ."

"You cut yourself with my gift?"

Reiji --> Kou

"I suppose it's my turn. Here you are." Reiji gave a plate to Kou, who began cheering in happiness, "Uwah~ macaroon vongole bianco, thank you~"

"At least someone's happy."

Kou--> Shuu

"Aha~ Here you go, Shuu, merry Christmas~" He threw a flat box onto Shuu's sleeping form, "It's a copy of my song~"

" . . . I don't want it."

"Aw, c'mon, Shuu, it's a top hit! You should be grateful."

With reluctance, Shuu's hand slowly inched towards the garbage can, and a soft thud later, his present was gone.

Laito --> Subaru

"Nfu~ is it my turn now?" Laito smirked before handing a magazine over to Subaru, "Merry Christmas, Subaru-kun~"

With a rough movement, the magazine was snatched and a yell was heard, "AH? WHY'RE THERE SO MANY WOMEN ON THE DAMN COVER?!"

"Fufu, because my dear younger brother needs help with girls~"

"S-SHUT UP, YOU HENTAI."

Subaru --> Ruki

"Are you finished blushing yet, Subaru?" Asked a confused Kameko, who waved her hands in front of Subaru's face, "Subaru, oh Subaruuuuuu"

"GAH, WHAT."

"You still need to give your secret Santa present!"

"FINE HERE."

He tossed something small and thin at Ruki, who caught it effortlessly, "What is this?"

"IT'S THAT GODDAMN THING THAT YOU HAVE AROUND YOUR NECK. THE WEB THING."

Ruki held up the little dinky piece of string for everyone to see, "You did not just compare my choker to this piece of trash."

Ruki --> Laito

After disposing of the string, Ruki handed Laito a small package. With a short 'thanks', Laito tore open the gift, only to reveal a book. He flipped through the pages, "Mou . . . Why did you get me this? There are no pictures of girls at all!"

"I felt the genre was appropriate for . . . people such as yourself."

"Eh? Really? All the title says is '50 Shades of Gray."

Ayato --> Yuma

"Heh! I bet you're happy that the great Ayato-sama is your secret Santa," Ayato gloated to an unimpressed Yuma.

"I could care less."

"Which is why," seconds later, a full sized picture of himself and handed it to Yuma, "I got you a picture of myself. This will look good in your room."

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

"Fine, fine, I'll sign it for you too."

Yuma --> Kanato

"Gimme my present, Teddy wants our present!" The purple-haired boy demanded to Yuma, who scowled, "Damn kid . . ."

"I'M OLDER THAN YOU."

With a 'tsk', Yuma handed Kanato a box. Inside, there seemed to be some sort of oval shaped thing.

"WHAT IS THIS??? IT LOOKS SO UGLY."

"CAN YOU SHUT UP?" Yuma scratched the back of his neck, "I noticed how you liked playin' with toys, so I got you one of those potato things."

"TOYS? POTATO THINGS? I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISRESPECTED."

Kameko inputted unhelpfully, "I believe the term is a 'Mr. Potato' toy. You can stick on the eyes, nose and mouth yourself."

"I DON'T CARE; TEDDY DOESN'T WANT IT."

"Here," Yuma offered, "I could stick one of those eyes onto your ugly bear."

"DON'T TOUCH TEDDY, YOU WORM."

Kanato --> Ayato

"Here, Teddy and I decided to give you the blue one." Kanato handed over his present and his younger triplet took it greedily, "WHY'S IT SO LIGHT?"

"Open it!"

With a quick tear down the middle, a shocked and disgraced expression was present on Ayato's face, "You got me . . . a dress?"

"Yes, I did. It was from last Halloween, Laito gave it to me." ** REFERENCES TO THE DRAMA CD

"THERE'S A REASON I GOT RID OF IT."

Kameko laughed, "D'aw! Was the widdle Ayato-sama a cute widdle pwincess last Hawwoween?"

"SHUT UP, PANCAKE."

Shuu --> Kameko

"Okay, so after much giving as been done, "she wearily glanced at the filled trash can with reject gifts. "Let's get down to the real reason we're gathered here; WHERE'S MY GIFT?"

Nobody spoke, but a cough was heard. Mentally, Kameko had already deducted the possible people who could have been her secret Santa, "Wait, if I'm correct, and please tell me I am, Shuu's my secret Santa, right? Right??"

She poked Shuu endlessly, until he opened his eyes, "Yea."

"WELL . . . WHERE'S MY GIFT?"

"I didn't get you one . . ."

The world seemed to crumble under her feet, he didn't get her a present . . .? SHIT WAS GOING DOWN.

"I HATE CHRISTMAS. NO GRATITUDE, NO CHESTNUTS ROASTING, Oh, and I stole one of your cookies, Kanato, BUT, NO PRESENT? YOU HEARTLESS, SOUL-LESS FIEND-"

". . . Gh, actually, I did give you something . . ."

She perked up almost instantly, "You did?!"

"Yea . . . I was the one who spit in the hat."

ONESHOT TIME, BABY.

--SAKAMAKI BROTHERS --

Christmas Carols「Shuu x Reader」

For the fifth time this night, you heard the doorbell ring. The loud, and lingering chime dawdled in the air. You huffed and pulled Shuu's arms that were wrapped loosely around your body off slowly, hoping to prolong the hug before you unlocked the door.

You peeped through the peephole, only to have your eyes land on a dozen people, all of them clad in warm coats and small booklets occupied their hands. You squealed unintentionally; you loved carolers!

The preceding four rings had been absolute nonsense - multiple girls hoping to deliver Christmas presents to the boys; all had been unsuccessful.

You opened the door with mirth, and traditional Christmas tunes filled your anticipating ears. You smiled, "Shuu~ Come here!"

You were rewarded with a soft groan; you frowned. The catchy piece of 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' soon died down and you thanked, as well as complimented, every one of the carolers. With a sigh, you closed the door and stood in front of Shuu. You gingerly took his arms and lifted them off his body, and slipped back into his arms.

"Shuu, you party-pooper!" You scolded him teasingly and snuggled in closer to his chest, "Why didn't you want to listen to the carols?"

He shifted, and tightened his hold on your torso, "It was annoying."

"This is the season when beautiful harmonies fill the chilly sky, why would you miss such an amazing moment?"

He opened his eyes, and you blushed, seeing his foggy blue optics, "I don't need to wait until winter to listen to beautiful harmonies . . ."

You snorted, "And why is that?"

You expected him to respond with a simple statement, that's what he did best. You placed your bets on the justification to be his mp3.

"Because, hearing you speak, as well as your heartbeat is even more beautiful."

Decorations「Reiji x Reader」

"(Y/n), measure the dimensions of the roof." Reiji ordered, as he organized the assortment of gummies by color.

"Reiji! This is supposed to be fun~" You whined, but lined up the ruler to the gingerbread accordingly.

"The roof's perfect! Let's just stick everything together already and eat -"

"No," He snatched the ruler from you, "It is imperative that everything be perfect. I will handle the size, go prepare the icing."

You mock saluted him, "Okay, Reiji!"

_XXX_XXX_

With the spatula, you mixed the icing until it became the proper consistency, "I'm done~"

He appeared beside you and gazed at the icing, "It's too thick. Keep stirring."

You grumbled, "It looks perfectly fine to me."

He shook his head, "Allow me."

"But, Reiji~ I wanna help -"

"Help when you feel you are able to use the proper Japanese vocabulary."

You pouted, "You didn't even wanna, I mean want, to build a gingerbread house!"

"Shoo."

With an exasperated sigh, you left the spatula in the gloppy bowl of icing and exited out of the kitchen.

_XXX_XXX_

"Reiji~~~~ I'm here to help!" You ran into the kitchen.

"(Y/n)! Don't just rush in here! The icing-"

You stopped and narrowed your eyes at the half completed gingerbread house, "I thought I was going to help . . ."

"You took too long; it was more reasonable to do this myself."

"Can I help you decorate at least?"

"There's no need; I'm done."

You grabbed the bag of gumdrops, "I see something that needs decorating."

"Wait, (Y/n)!"

It was too late by then, gumdrops rained down on the unsuspecting male, and his previously indigo hair had specks of sugar.

"Ah, Reiji, stop moving!"

You reached for the half-used bowl of icing and hugged it close to you, "The perfect accent~"

"(Y/n)! Stop this nonsense immediately!"

"Alright, you win-" You daringly flicked the icing-covered spatula, "-Oops."

Splatters of white landed on his apron and face. While you burst into hysterics, he glared at you, wiping off the dripping vanilla off of his face.

"Wait! I'm not done!"

_XXX_XXX_

"Oh my . . ."

You licked the excess icing from the edge of the bowl, "I think we're done decorating for the day."

Reiji simply looked at you glaringly, but, you could tell he had fun.

"Clean all this up." He ordered.

"Wait!" You stopped him and placed a bit of icing on the tip of his nose, "There . . . now it's perfect."

Mistletoe「Laito x Reader」

You stared frighteningly forwards, your vision primarily focused on the small leaves hanging just below the door frame.

With your eyes narrowed accusingly at Laito, who urged you to walk through the doors, you turned on your heel, and marched the way you had entered.

Christmas was right around the corner, yet, you felt a tinge of annoyance when you spotted millions of mistletoe strung up. Everywhere you walked, the rounded leaves and white berries hounded you.

"Yui~ I-" You bit back a shriek, the door that led to your friend's room again, held up another one of those blasted things, "Gah!"

She looked at you apologetically, mouthing the faint words of 'Laito.'

You threw your hands up in exasperation, quickly turning another corner, taking note of the locations of each mistletoe. With nowhere left to go, you sat outside your room, which another mistletoe dangled off of, "Son of a bi-!"

"Ah~ Bitch-chan, it isn't nice to cuss, Santa may be watching~" You slowly turned your head towards the teasing voice.

You sighed, "And yet you still call me 'Bitch'."

He giggled, "I'm a vampire, we don't believe in stupid things such as 'Santa Claus'."

You closed your eyes, "This was all your doing, wasn't it?"

"Hm~, what was my doing, Bitch-chan?"

"The mistletoe."

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, nfu~"

Glancing at the suspended bundle of leaves and berries one more time, you murmured once before you drifted off to sleep, the past week of dodging kisses finally wearing you out, "'No idea' my ass . . ."

"Oh~, seems like Bitch-chan fell asleep . . . How boring," Laito mused to himself, chuckling to himself as he looked at your unconscious body and tutted, before picking you up bridal style.

Immediately, you relaxed and sub-consciously clutched the fabric of his clothes. He smiled gently and walked through the door to your room, but stopped abruptly; just below the mistletoe.

He lowered his face so it almost made contact with your own, "You're too cute, Bitch-chan~"

He kissed your lips happily, claiming his long-awaited prize.

Unexpected Gifts「Kanato x Reader」

At precisely eight o clock, you heard someone knock on your bedroom door. The three light taps that seemed almost rhythmic made you crack a smile, "He's here again."

"(Y/n)-san"

You rushed to open the door, smiling as he entered the doorway with his usual little frown and Teddy. You had no idea why, but you enjoyed his presence. Somehow, the boy with the lilac orbs and peculiar personality made you smile.

"Good evening, Kanato." You greeted like always, making room for him on your bed.

"Evening."

You glanced outside the window, finally noticing the glorious sight that is the sun beginning to dip down behind the hills. Awe struck you and you bounced off the bed, eager to indulge yourself in the many arrays of color.

The many hues of pink, orange and yellow caused your attention to drift from the lolita, something he didn't like at all.

He walked up behind you and grabbed a fistful of your hair, pulling it slightly.

"OW," You winced just as he yanked you back to the bed, "K-Kanato!"

He released your locks and demanded you sit with him. When you didn't oblige immediately, you could see pricks of tears in the corner of his eyes.

"Kanato! What's wrong?"

"You're so selfish . . ."

"What?!"

"I-I took time to spend time with you a-and then you leave me!"

You scoffed, "Nobody asked you to waste your time on me!"

He glared at you, "IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT."

You paused and stared at him, your heart slowly picking up its pace, "You did all this for me?"

He didn't respond, but you smiled softly at him, "I thought you were doing it for you own benefit, and- gosh, I'm so selfish. You had to spend so much time with me too-"

He pulled you into a hug, which caused you to blush in embarrassment, "Kanato!"

"No. I wanted to spend time with you. Because I like you. I did it for my benefits. (Y/n).You cause the turmoil in me to calm."

"O-oh . . . I see," you giggled when you found out he harbored the same feelings as you, "I feel the same."

You turned around so you hugged him, "Merry Christmas, Kanato."

"Merry Christmas, (Y/n)."

Red [Rudolph]「Ayato x Reader」

"A-achoo!" You rubbed your clogged and irritated nose, blessing yourself for the fifth time. Being sick on Christmas was the worst, but, at least you got to spend as much time with your boyfriend as possible.

"Ayato. Pass me the ti-ti-tiss-ACHOO!" Gesturing to the nearly-empty cardboard box, you slumped back down on your bed, breathing through you mouth.

"Here." A rough nudge on your arm and a bundle of tissues later, you sat back up to see your boyfriend-Sakamaki Ayato.

"Ayato, do I look bad?" You rubbed your nose, and prepared yourself for an incoming sneeze.

"Bad? Heh, your nose is all red!"

You laughed and punched his arm playfully, "Like Rudolph?"

He chuckled, "Yeah, but you're nothing like him."

"Eh? Explain!" You pouted, wanting to hear his reasoning.

"You're a girl," he stated the obvious, "You're not an animal, and you're-"

He stopped his explanation, a small blush manifesting on his pale cheeks. You poked his side, "And I'm what?"

"N-nothing."

"Tell me~"

"AGH, IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, JUST REST ALREADY."

"Ayato~ you're not being fair . . . Tell me!" You complained and smacked him with a pillow, "Am I inconvenient? Unhelpful? Un-"

"DAMMIT. YOU'RE CUTER. OKAY?" The blush that occupied his cheeks grew vibrant. Smiling, you sniffled, "Eh? You're blushing, Ayato~"

"Shaddup!"

You pinched his cheeks, "Aha! You're cheeks match my nose now! Rosy cheeks remind me of Santa!"

He lightly slapped your hands off his cheeks and leaned closer towards you, a light blush also beginning to dust itself on your jowls, "A-Ayato!"

He kissed your nose, "If I'm Santa, that means you have to listen to me; to respect and obey my every order."

"Wha-?!" You had never thought of that before.

He snickered before booping your nose and hugged you closer, "Now rest, my little reindeer."

Wishlist [Dear Santa,]「Subaru x Reader」

The room remained quiet except for the girl sitting at her desk. You giggled to yourself as you wrote down another item. The scribbling of your pen never seemed to stop as you continued to ponder over gifts.

It seemed silly, how you were writing a letter to Santa, but you enjoyed having a spark of toddler that seemed to fade over the process of aging.

With an exhale, you signed your name at the bottom, with a paragraph filled with gratitude. The pen you were holding was kept on the table as you read over your letter.

" . . . " You mumbled the many pleads and gratefulness to jolly old Saint Nick, when, "I FORGOT TO ASK FOR THE-DAMMIT."

"CAN YOU SHUT UP?"

"Eh?" Your eyes fell on the doorway, where a very angry Subaru stood, "Good evening, Subaru-kun! What brings you here?"

"Tch! Can't I just visit you? WHAT, DO I NEED A REASON NOW?"

"Oh! Thank you for coming!" The yelling, you were used to, as well as the many violent acts he always executed, because you knew what kind of person he was at heart.

"What're you muttering about?" He calmed and looked over your shoulder and laughed, "You think Santa actually exists?"

Shielding the piece of paper from him, you puffed out your cheeks, "He is! Don't ruin it!"

"HAH?" He growled, "Are you stupid?!"

"Mou . . . " You pouted, but continued rewriting your letter, "Ne, Subaru, why don't you write one too?"

You handed him a piece of fresh paper as well as a well-inked pen. He took it, which surprised you, and then progressed with ripping the paper up in shreds and broke your fountain-pen in half, "Don't fuck with me."

You clutched your heart, dramatizing the pain the paper and pen must've went through, "Subaru . . . TREE-KILLER."

With a scoff, you continued to write your 'Dear Santa,' lecturing him ever so slightly, "You know, Subaru, Santa knows if you've been bad or good."

"I don't give a crap."

"Santa can get you what you want~ Anything that you ask for~"

He hesitated, "A-anything?! N-not that I'm interested or anything . . ."

"A-ny-thing" You emphasized, and looked at him innocently, "You do want something, right, boyfriend?"

With a sly smirk on your lips, you chuckled when you saw him blush. Having him around is so much fun.

"D-don't throw that word in so casually! DAMMIT!" He covered his face with his hand.

"Heheh, sorry, sorry! But, write one!"

"NO. I WON'T."

"You don't know what you're missing out on~" An ink blot appeared on your sheet of paper, "A wish is always needed."

"I don't need that stupid old man to get me what I want-" He scratched the back of his head, "'Cuz I already have everything that I want."

"Explain to me! I refuse to believe a vampire is less selfish than me!" You demanded, finally placing the pen on the desk once more.

"Ulp . . !"

"Subaru? What do you already have?" Your eyebrows furrowed at the possible answers, "Could it be, your coffin? Uhm, a family? That really cool silver knife-"

"THAT'S NOT IT."

"THEN WHAT IS?!" With a sigh of exasperation, your excitement got to the best of you, the volume of your voice raising by the slightest.

"IT'S B-BECAUSE," He stuttered out, "I-"

"It's because . . . You . . . You what?" The suspense may have already gotten to you, forcing you to echo what he says.

"FINE DAMMIT. LISTEN CAREFULLY 'CUZ I AIN'T REPEATING IT."

"Yes, yes, Subaru~"

"IT'S B-BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE YOU."

--MUKAMI BROTHERS--

Jingle Bells「Ruki x Reader」

You sighed as you wandered around the halls of the Mukami mansion aimlessly. Your neck hurt from being bitten by Kou the other day, and your feet dragged on the carpeted floor.

Christmas was coming up, yet, you didn't seem in it too badly. The Mukami's probably never celebrate, anyways. You sighed and entered the room you shared with Ruki. Falling face-first onto the bed, you had enough time for a quick breather before you fell asleep on your side of the bed.

_XXX_XXX_

Ding Ding Ding

The moonlight's reflective rays entered the window and you tossed around. Your groggy self had heard something ring, but you didn't want to find out what it was. You covered you ears with the pillow and shut your eyes tight, hoping to enter the bliss world of dreams once again.

Ding Ding Ding

Again. There was the sound. Although the rings were a bit fainter, the clear chimes could still be heard.

"Shh . . ." You covered yourself with the blanket, and spread yourself across the bed, thankful for Ruki being already awake, "Ah~"

Ding Ding Ding

"Alright, alright, I'm up!" You chucked your pillow across the room to show your annoyance and rubbed your eyes, "Annoying bastards . . ."

To your surprise, the room was empty, and the chiming had stopped. Just your luck. Since you were already awake, you smoothed down your hair and stepped onto the floor, listening closely to the dings.

" . . ." You stayed silent, " . . !"

Ding Ding Ding

"Aha!" You ran out of the room and followed the mysterious and bothersome noise.

The series of rings led you to the living room, where Ruki stood, "Ruki."

He stared at your disheveled form, "You're awake, Livestock. What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied to see your Master's face?"

You scratched the back of your head and looked around the room, hoping to seek evidence of the noise, "No, but, Ruki, do you hear anything . . . off?"

"Be more specific."

"A bell, perhaps . . .?

You waited for his response, but, no words were spoken, "Ruki, have you heard anything?"

"No."

"Ah, thank you." You bowed slightly and ran out of the room, eager to trace the ringing.

_XXX_XXX_

Ding Ding Ding

"Not again . . ." You rubbed your eyes and sat up; why did this have to happen when you were sleeping? Couldn't the annoying bell ring when you were fully awake? Honestly.

Ding Ding Ding

"It's so loud!" You hugged the blanket and dragged it across the floor as you followed the ringing.

Ding Ding Ding

"I'll find you. And when I do . . . I'll kill you." You muttered darkly and this time, you were facing the door to the kitchen, "Busted."

With a cheer, you pushed the door open, anxious to stop the sounds. Unfortunately, you saw Ruki again, "Damn!"

"Such vulgar language for a livestock." He spoke disapprovingly, shaking his head.

"You would be annoyed too if you were woken up by the annoying chimes!"

"Believe me; I've been woken up one too many times by your kicking in bed."

"Shut up!"

_XXX_XXX_

This time, you were ready. Since it was the 25th, you were already up and ready to sike out the bell. Oh boy, you were ready.

The triumphant grin never lessened and you kicked your feet against the bedroom floor. The minutes ticked by and your smile soon turned into a scowl, "Ring already!"

Nada.

With a defeated expression, you trudged into the living room, again, where Ruki sat.

"You're up early."

"Yeah . . . Merry Christmas, Ruki."

"Humph."

You were about to walk back to the bedroom when you heard faint shuffling in the background. You also felt someone grasp onto your shoulder, "(Y/n)"

"What?" Came the begrudging response; you wanted to sleep!

"Don't move"

You squirmed when you felt the light brushes of his fingertips come in contact with your neck, "Ah . . ."

You felt something wrap around your neck tightly, and you had a sense of nostalgia, "Ack! Ruki!"

He mumbled in your ear, "That was for disobeying your Master."

Instinctively, your hands touched the last place he touched; your neck. Instead of touching the usual softness and warmth that is your skin, you felt fabric under your touch, "What is this?!"

When you whipped around to demand an explanation, something jingled.

"Wait . . ." That sound! Your fingers followed the strip of fabric until you felt something metallic. You shook it jestingly, the familiar chimes mocking you, "You . . . !"

He frowned, "I thought you still didn't realize who your Master was, after you allowed you blood to be sucked by Kou."

"He ambushed me!"

"That's no excuse, besides; your old collar was getting worn out."

You bit your lip since you had purposely destroyed your previous collar in hopes of never wearing one again, "So what you're telling me is, you gave me the present of slavery?!"

"You shouldn't have ruined your previous one."

"Last question, why the bells? Why did you keep ringing it?"

"For my own amusement, of course," He chuckled and touched the bell gently, shaking it so it rang against your neck, "I had to test how far the sound could reach, that's how far you can separate from me."

Santa Claus「Kou x Reader」

You smiled cheerfully to yourself, and bit into another cookie, "I love Christmas~"

"M Neko-chan~" The sudden call of your nickname caused you to crush the Santa cookie in your hand, "Yes, Kou?"

You dusted off the remains of Santa off of your festive sweater, "Next time, just tap me on the shoulder."

"Uwa, where's the fun in that?" He stole a kiss from your cheek and licked off a bit of leftover cookie, "Anyway~ Do you want to spend tomorrow with me?"

Your heart skipped a beat, "T-tomorrow? It's Christmas tomorrow . . . Are you sure . . .?"

He giggled, "You're such an idiot, M Neko-chan~ Of course tomorrow!"

"U-um . . . Alright then . . ." You ran out of the room, a smile evident on your face, "Tomorrow it is."

_XXX_XXX_

"You look so cute today, M Neko-chan!" You blushed at his compliment and crossed your arms, "N-no, I'm not."

"He~eh," he pinched your cheeks, "I just complimented you, say something nice about me!"

"You look-" Your (E/c) eyes scanned his face and clothes, "Hot, Amazing!"

"Let's go~" He grabbed your hand and led to the limo.

_XXX_XXX_

"Ha . . ." You breathed on your hands to heat them up, "It sure is cold."

"Ne, ne, M Neko-chan, let's go in there!" He pointed to a familiar studio.

"Wait! Isn't that . . . Where you work?" He ignored you and pulled you into the large building.

_XXX_XXX_

"Ah! You brought her!" A man wearing a cap shook your hand and glanced at your face, "She's perfect!"

You glanced at Kou's smiling face, "Kou . . . Why am I perfect?"

Before the vampire could respond, the man interjected, "He's doing a photoshoot for Christmas today, and he said he had the perfect girl to play Mrs. Claus." You frowned slightly before he continued, "And he was right!"

"Aw, M Neko-chan, don't look at me like that! I wanted it to be a surprise for you!"

You stared at him, "I thought you wanted to spend some time with me . . . Not use me as part of your job requirement!"

He pat your head, "I do want to spend time with you. After this! Smile! Nobody likes a frowny Mrs. Claus!"

"Alright then . . ." You agreed skeptically and was pulled away to a dressing room.

_XXX_XXX_

You grumbled as you waited impatiently outside of Kou's dressing room, "Stupid make-up . . . Mrs.Claus my ass!"

"Uh, uh, M Neko-chan, no swearing in front Santa~" You looked at Kou and started laughing. Instead of his usual skinny physique, he had stuffed pillows into the suit and wore a long, white beard.

"You look so . . . festive!" You greeted him and ran your fingers through his beard, "Too festive."

"Hurry!" The same man called out to the both of you and gestured to the snowy background, "Stand here."

"Question. Do I have to kiss him when he's wearing the beard?" You giggled when he nodded.

_XXX_XXX_

"Perfect! Beautiful! Brilliant!" Came the shouts of motivation and you blushed when Kou pulled you closer.

"Last shot!"

Kou pulled down the beard a little and leaned closer. The blush in your cheeks grew darker as you closed you eyes.

Simultaneously, the sounds of the shutter matched up with the soft strands of beard hair that tickled your cheek, as you kissed him.

He broke the kiss and you laughed again, "I just kissed Santa Claus."

Christmas Tree「Yuma x Reader」

"Oh! Yuma, can we pick this one!" You waved your arms in the cool air to catch your boyfriend's attention.

He walked over and snorted, "Really Sow?" He chuckled, "This tree's too damn small!"

You pouted and measured the tip of the evergreen to your own height, "But I can reach the top of this one! Please?"

He pulled you away and showed you an even taller and thicker tree, "We're choosin' this one, Sow."

"B-but," you whined, "I can't reach the top of it! Look!" You measured yourself and pouted when the top of your head only met with three-quarters of the tree, "I like my tree better."

"Ah? You're tree was a midget! We're gettin' this one."

"Aw boo."

_XXX_XXX_

"See, Sow? This tree is much better." You rolled your eyes and hooked another ornament onto the hanging branch, he had been telling you how wrong you were for the past hour.

"Here." You passed the box full of shiny ornaments and tinsel to him, "String this around the tree."

After hanging ball after candy cane after stocking, the tree had finally had its fill of 'Christmas'. You took a step back and examined both of your hard work, "It's so pretty! Except . . ."

You dug into the bottom of the cardboard box to reveal a golden star, "For this."

With a longing sigh, you glanced between the star and the top of the tree, sulking about how you wouldn't be able to place the star on top. You pushed it into Yuma's hands, "Do the honors."

He handed it back to you, "If ya wanted to place the damn star on top, just say so!"

He lifted you up as if you were a child. You giggled and placed the star on the vertex of the tree and smiled victoriously.

"Yuma, isn't it pretty?" You asked.

"Yeah."

"Can you let me down now?"

"Yeah, yeah" You felt yourself lowering to the ground slowly, but before your feet could make contact with the ground, he pulled you towards him and kissed the top of your head, muttering softly into your hair, "Sow . . . Don't grow any taller."

Lights「Azusa x Reader」

The radiance of the Christmas lights blinded you and you shut your eyes, the light momentarily stunning you. You could feel Azusa tighten his grip on your hand in hopes of not losing you in the crowd.

"Azusa! Slow down!" You stumbled on the sidewalk and he slowed, muttering a soft apology.

"W-where are we going?" You yelped when you felt a stranger's hand brush against you, "A-Azusa!"

Both of you were zigzagging along the sidewalk, ignoring the merry chatter among the crowds.

"Ah . . . (Y/n) let's stay here . . ." He pointed to the empty alleyway.

"Come . . .!"

He pulled you along, and you blushed at how forceful he could be; it was hot. Entering the dark blocked off path, you both panted, clearly lacking Christmas spirit as well as proper leisure.

Blinking multiple times, your eyesight finally cleared and you were able to see properly. Only, the darkness in the alleyway left no light to shine through, excluding the many vibrant Christmas lights that shone through the opening. You leaned against the wall for support and continued to guide yourself in the opposite direction when you bumped into someone, hopefully the someone you wanted to find, "Ack!"

"Azusa! Is that you . . .?"

"Mmn, (Y/n), I . . . found you." He lightly grasped your arm, "Let's . . . stay here . . ."

"But I can't see-"

"We're staying . . ."

"Please, Azusa~" You pleaded and hugged him, "Let's go! It's Christmas!"

"But it's safer in here . . . And nobody can bother us in here . . ."

"Yes, but, there are probably knives on sale! You know, sharp, shiny knives? Ooh la la~"

He was reluctant to agree, but since he was able to see through the pitch-black surroundings, he could see the puppy-dog eyes you were showing him, "Ah . . . Alright then . . ."

"Yes! Azusa, you're the best!" You pumped your fists in the air, and you heard him softly mutter a 'I . . .am . . .?"

_XXX_XXX_

Walking hand-in-hand, you were smiling gleefully now. The lights still blinded you, though, you focused forwards, your (E/c) eyes fixated on the prize- the Christmas tree.

This was the main reason you dragged Azusa out here; to see the lighting of the Christmas tree! With a quick glance at your watch, you realized, it was almost time!

"Ah! Azusa! Let's hurry, I want to show you something!"

Running together with him wasn't a good idea, since you kept stumbling every tenth step you took, but you and your vampire boyfriend managed to stand in front of the Christmas tree.

"(Y/n), why did you . . . drag me here . . .?"

"Just wait, Azusa . . . In three . . . two . . . one!"

With a flash, the dark tree began flashing with every color of the rainbow. The people cheered as the ornaments on it gleamed about. You turned to your boyfriend, only to smile even wider at his awe towards the tree.

You softly nudged him and he faced you. Before the electricity finally reached to the vertex of the evergreen, where the star was placed, he leaned down and kissed you softly.

It felt as if it came out of a fairy-tale, and you didn't fight the urge to smile into the kiss. He broke it, only to comment how warm your cheeks were.

Suddenly, the audience began clapping. You turned towards the tree again, and had finally noticed-it was lit.

Of course, the star dimmed in comparison to your smile.
