Christmas is a holiday that's pretty important, back home.
In Germany, it's a family affair, usually. It wasn't celebrated much in my own household, but the city outside was always decorated, and there was usually a parade in the streets on more beautiful nights.

I've heard it's different for some people.

And that gifts have more meaning than others.

I'm curious to know the differences, as I still don't really understand it, much.

Come on, Noiz. You know that is a

S E C R E T

You'll find out when it's Christmastime. Unless you want to open it up on Christmas Eve instead?

[bunnyblock]

Didn't you say Christmas was weird in Japan?

I don't remember how, but opening gifts on Christmas eve....

Ah.

I'm too curious. Knowing you, it's something unexpected.

[bottombitch]

[ Well, there's always Kent*cky Christmas, that's kinda weird. Some people are adamant about having fried fast-food chicken for their dinner. But Aoba always figured that was more of a fad and preferred to try to at least make a cake or, failing that, dinner from scratch.

That was only half of the surprise, though. ]

I'm not going to ask what you mean, but this time I think you'll be genuinely surprised.

It's really something out of our world. Kinda.

[bunnyblock]

[Yeah, that's exactly what he meant. Chicken Christmas and weird couply stuff. He never really understood it, when he'd lived in Japan, but...

Hey, it's not like he'd have to worry about Ken*ucky Christmas here, right.
Instead, he kind of... tilts his head at this message. What?]

...Out of our world?

Did you order something in from Midorijima?

[bottombitch]

Mm, did I order something from Midorijima... I guess that's for you to find out.

Anyway, do you want to open presents on Christmas morning and have dinner after? Or did you want to do something else?

It occurs to me that I never really asked what your preferences were... but now that I think I'm pretty well prepared, I'm not sure how I should execute it.

[bunnyblock]

...From Midorijima.

[Honestly, he can't think for a moment on what it is. It's not like he'd ever shown Aoba where he was staying in that place, and he doubted Aoba would bring him anything Rhyme related, so...

Honestly, he's at a loss. So instead, he'll reply with an easy comment.]

Strange.

I got you one from there, too.

[bottombitch]

[ Aoba's being very cagey on the topic. It's a surprise. But now that Noiz has revealed the origins of his gift, Aoba wants to know. ]

Heeh?

Is this like when couples get so close that they finish each others' sentences? I bet I can guess what it is!

Um... is it something edible?

[bunnyblock]

...

Is that something that happens? I don't really think I've ever done that to you before.

...

And no, you shouldn't eat it.

Absolutely not...

[bottombitch]

Ah, I guess not.

[ Aoba stares off with an annoyed expression, puffing out his cheeks. WAY TO TAKE THE WIND OUT OF HIS SAILS. This of course goes unobserved, but he's doing one of those pouts before deciding to drop it. ]

Absolutely not, huh?

I guess I'll wait to find out!
