So far, your Christmas with the Saiki's had been one to remember. After making it back last night to the Saiki's house, Kusuo and you fell asleep together in his bed, holding each other. Then, the two of you were woken up by Kurumi and Kunihara bursting in and yelling 'Merry Christmas'. You ate French toast with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with whipped cream and hot chocolate.

After breakfast, you and Kurumi sent Kusuo and Kunihara on an 'errand' so that the two of you could work on your Christmas present for Kusuo.

"It's really sweet of you to do this for Ku!" Kurumi said happily as she helped you set place the items in the garage fridge.

"Well, I've learned from past experiences that Kusuo is really hard to shop for, so I thought this was the best thing I could do." You smiled a you placed the last one in the fridge and shut it.

"This is an awful lot. When did you have the time to make all of this?" Kurumi asked.

"After you invited me to spend Christmas with you last week. I made sure to hide them well." You smiled down at the large supply of... Well, it's a secret.

"With this, Kusuo will fall in love with you for sure!" Kurumi cheered as she placed a ribbon on the fridge. You didn't know what to say, so you just smiled and nodded. Thankfully, you nullified Kusuo's telepathy so you could actually surprise him. You and Kurumi walked back into the house and you looked at the clock, seeing that it was 3 in the afternoon. Right on time, Kusuo and Kunihara returned.

"Thanks you two! Place the groceries on the table!" Kurumi instructed.

"I don't understand why you had me and Kusuo go shopping on Christmas, that's just cruel! Make him go himself!" Kunihara complained.

'You suck at keeping secrets. Sorry, dad.' You thought and smiled upon seeing what was in the bags. There was gingerbread house kits, icing, and several kinds of candy. You helped Kurumi unbag everything and place the same amount of ingredients at everyone's seats at the table.

"Yay!!! Gingerbread houses!!!" Kurumi yelled and raised her fist in the air.

"Kusuo, please don't destroy mine like you did last year..." Kunihara mumbled as we all sat down at the table.

"No promises."

━━━━━━。゜✿ฺ✿ฺ゜。━━━━━━

"Y/n! Yours looks so good!" Kurumi said excitedly and clapped her hands together.

"Thank you, but I didn't really try all that much." You said nervously and looked down at your gingerbread house. You used silver and blue candies for your coloration while everyone else stuck to red and green.

"All of yours looks so wonderful." Kurumi said with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you dear, yours looks just as beautiful as you."
"Oh, sweetheart that means so much. Kusuo, what would you think about a younger sibling?"

"Hell no." Kusuo said sternly and stood up from the table. Kusuo grabbed your hand and began to drag you upstairs, but his mothers voice stopped you both.

"Speaking of children, Yuuta's mother mentioned that all Yuuta wanted for Christmas was to see Cyborg Cyder-Man 2, so I told her you would go pay him a visit!"

You could see Kusuo's heart immediately drop and his eyes widened in horror.

"Y-You monster!" Kusuo yelled.

"And you have to wear a Santa outfit." His mother smiled while holding up a Santa costume.

'This poor, poor bo-'

"Fine, but Y/n has to come with me."

"That's perfect! I already bought a Mrs. Claus outfit! Aaah! You two will look so cute."

'She... She IS a monster!!!'

━━━━━━。゜✿ฺ✿ฺ゜。━━━━━━

Right now, you were in the Saiki's bathroom wanting to unalive yourself because of what you were wearing. The costume was way to small and the skirt ended only below your mid thigh! You had white tights and white silk arm sleeves and gloves. Not to mention that the dress was sleeveless, so your boobs were practically spilling out, and to top it off, you wore a Santa hat. You felt humiliated.

"Please come on out, Y/n! Kusuo's all ready for youuuu." Kurumi yelled from outside the bathroom.

'That's the problem!'

You always had a problem with wearing highly feminine clothes, and this was the worst thing you had ever come across.

"What exactly do I get out of this?" You asked as you looked at yourself in the mirror. The other side of the door stayed quiet until you heard Kusuo.

"If you do this, I will dress up as 'Big Daddy' from Bioshock for Halloween next year."

Upon hearing this, your attitude immediately perked up and you opened the bathroom door.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? Let's go!" You said happily and marched to the front door. Kusuo followed behind you, but you were too busy fantasizing over the Big Daddy costume thing to fully look at him. From behind, Kusuo looked at you with a flustered face. Let's just say your attitude wasn't the only thing that perked up.

Kusuo met you in front of Yuuta's front door. You were able to get a good look at him and blushed.

'I sure do wanna sit on THAT Santa's lap...'

...

'Y/n don't be a whore!' You mentally slapped yourself as you knocked on the front door. You and Kusuo heard shuffling from the other side of the door, then the doorknob clicked open, revealing Yuuta.

"Wow! Cyborg Cyder-man is at my doorstep! Huh...?" Yuuta then looked over at you, and he screamed.

'Am I THAT ugly?'

"OH MY GOSH IT'S APPLE CYDERELLA!" Yuuta yelled and hugged me tightly, squishing his face into your thighs.

'...What?'

"Who's that?" Kusuo asked with slight irritation in his voice due to Yuuta's current position. Yuuta pulled away and looked at Kusuo dumbfounded.

"She's your girlfriend!" Yuuta yelled and ran back in the house. Several things inside the house were broken in the process but when Yuuta came back to the door, he was holding a comic book.

"In the newest volume of Cyborg Cider-man, they introduced Apple Cyderella, your girlfriend!" Yuuta showed you two the picture of Cyborg Cider-man and Apple Cyderella together and you both gawked at the image.

'It... looks exactly like her...'

'I'm in a comic book now?'

"And now that you two are here in person, you can recreate the season finale scene!" Yuuta yelled in excitement while you and Kusuo stood there unimpressed.

"...Which is...?" You asked, but then immediately regretted it as Yuuta flipped to the last page in the comic book.

"Duh! The kiss scene!"

You and Kusuo stood there frozen, unsure of what to do.

"Well, get to it!" Yuuta commanded.

"No way." Kusuo said nervously and glanced at you.

"Huh? Why not?!" Yuuta yelled with tears in his eyes. You sighed and knelt down so you were at Yuuta's level.

"I want Cyborg Cyder-man to kiss me because he wanted to. Not because of a comic book." You smiled sweetly as Yuuta looked down in disappointment. You leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead and pulled away. Kusuo and Yuuta's eyes widened and Yuuta began to squeal.

"OH MY GOSH THANK YOU! I'LL NEVER WASH MY FACE AGAIN! MOM! MOM GUESS WHA-"

And like that, Yuuta shut the door in your faces. Kusuo just stood there, still trying to take in what you had said to him.

"Let's go back. I still haven't given you your present yet." You smiled and grabbed Kusuo's hand and led him to the garage.

"You're not going to murder me, are you?"

"Not intentionally, but you might die of happiness~" After saying that, you rushed Kusuo to the garage fridge. He opened the fridge and gasped loudly at the sight before him. In the fridge was over 100 servings of your homemade coffee jelly.

"Is this all for me?!" Kusuo asked with sparkles in his eyes as he pointed at the contents of the fridge.

"Only for you." You smiled, but gasped yourself as Kusuo pulled you into a tight hug. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out your Christmas present. He stepped back and placed it into your hands. It was a necklace of the bird and cage from Bioshock.

"I know you're not a jewelry person, but I thought this was simple enough that you'd like it." Kusuo said nervously.

"I love it... I love it!" You smiled widely and hugged Kusuo once again. The two of you held each other, not wanting to let you go. Kusuo thought about what you had said to Yuuta and smiled widely.

'Who said I wouldn't want to...?'
