Hello kind kangaroos! I know you were all hoping for chapter 7, but this is a special Christmas chapter (Even though it's more of a short one-shot)! Woo! I DO NOT OWN GIRLS BRAVO. Intros are boring. Start reading!
Fukuyama's PoV:
Ahhh the holiday season. When the grass is covered in snow, and the trees are covered in snow, and the cars are covered in snow, and the houses are covered in snow, and everything is covered in snow... Explanation? Canada.
Wait, hold up. That's a disrespectful stereotype.
Hilary was much happier. She said that her favorite season was winter, so of course her favorite holiday was Christmas. She would jump around the rooms, decorating while singing little Christmas songs. And I have to admit, her house looked amazing. Though, one thing racked my brain.
What should I get her for Christmas?! Doctor who merchandise? That's too predictable. A CD by her favorite band? Tacky. Fifteen dollar iTunes card? Cheap. Wait... Cheap? I'm rich! I should buy her something that is too expensive for her to get herself! But what kind of expensive thing would she want?! I know! I'll check her phone!
I grabbed Hilary's phone, which was sitting on her bedside table, and swiped it.
Damnit. Passcode.
Just then, Hilary walked into the room. She stopped and looked at me, then her phone, back at me, to her phone, and then to me again. Her face relaxed and she flopped onto her bed.
"It's 8888." She smiled.
"Why?"
"Because eight is the most amazing number ever. It's perfectly symmetrical, and it's also an even number, meaning it can be divided by two and have no decimal. It's so symmmmmeeeeccccttttrrriiiicccaaalll." She explained.
"And why does symmetry matter?"
"Because if everything isn't symmetrical, there isn't balance. And if there's no balance then everything turns into utter chaos!" She shouted.
"Geez.. Sorry..."
I put the password in and tap into safari, to check her internet history.
Okay... Anime stuff... French stuff... Swedish stuff... Korean stuff... Oh! Here! Ebay... A razer laptop? It costs about three thousand... That's not very much!
I quickly close the tab, jump up, throw Hilary's phone on her bed, and run to the front door.
"Fukuyama? Where are you going?" Kennedy asks as I throw my boots and coat on.
"Getting a present for Hilary. I'll be back at….. At least twelve."
""Oh.. Okay!"
I run out the door and jump into Jack, Hilary's blue F-type coupe. Yes, she did name her car after Jack Frost. Don't judge. I drove to staples and bolted inside the store, towards the laptops. I find the laptop, pay for it, and-
"Yes, I'd like it gift wrapped."
And I-
"It's for a girl named Hilary."
I run-
"From Kazuharu."
Run out-
"K, a, z, u, h, a, r, u."
Out of the store.
God. Finally.
But by then, it was ten. Knowing Hilary, she's already gone to sleep to 'make Christmas day come faster'. I ran in to the house, walked into the T.V room. I carefully put the gift under the tree and peeked quietly into Hilary's room. I was right, she was sleeping. I went into the guest room (that was being used by Kennedy) to get some pajamas, then I returned to Hilary's room, and snuck into her bed. I was about to fall into a deep slumber, when Hilary scooted her body closer to mine, so that she was cuddling into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her waist and fell asleep.
-Time skip brought to you by Yukinari's laundry detergent-
I woke up that morning to an amazing smell and I let my nose guide me to the source. My eyes rested on Hilary at the stove, making breakfast.
"Good morning sleepyhead!" She smiled at me.
"W-what's that smell?"
"Hmm? Oh! I'm making breakfast!"
"Why?"
"Because it's nine thirty?"
"Well ya... But I expected to be woken up by you jumping on the bed and shouting at me to wake up so that you can open presents."
"No... It's tradition in my family to eat breakfast before anything else. So I made breakfast!"
"Oh...Ok... So what's for breakfast?" I ask, rubbing my right eye.
"French toast, a choice between a pomegranate or a mango, and then a choice between apple juice, orange juice, or lemonade!" She explained, smiling.
"Oh."
We scarfed down breakfast, and it was amazing. As soon as she was finished, Hilary bolted into Kennedy's temporary room and soon they both ran out together and into the T.V room. I chuckled and walked in after them.
-Time skip brought to you by Jack's winter tires-
I had opened up about two presents, one from Risa and one from Kennedy. Kennedy had finished opening all of her presents, so she had gathered them up and taken them to her room. Hilary had opened up every present that was hers, except for mine, and I had the one from her to me beside me.
She pulled the box out from under the tree, and carefully unwrapped it. You could tell that she had realized what it is. Her mouth opened slightly, and her eyes were riddled with disbelief. Her gaze turned to meet mine and I smiled at her. Her face morphed into a gigantic grin, and she tackle-hugged me. We both laughed as she pinned me to the floor.
"ThankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouTHANKYOU!" She shouted at me.
Hilary leaned down and pecked my lips.
"N-no problem!" I stuttered, blushing.
"I'm going to go set it up right now!" She smiled, getting up, grabbing the laptop, holding it close to her chest, and skipping off to her room.
I calmed myself down and sat up, turning my attention to the little box that Hilary had given me. I looked at the perfect wrapping on the small gift. It was a thin, white, plastic material, covered in sky blue snowflakes. The tag was a small sliver, white, and blue heart with 'To Kazuharu, from Hilary' written in cursive on it. It was wrapped to perfection and I almost didn't want to open it, to preserve the amazing job that Hilary had done. So I unwrapped it delicately. I pulled out the box that had formerly been covered, and stared at it. I open it up and pulled out a small, silver key and what looked like a diploma, but upon further inspection, I could confirm that it was a paper at said 'The key to my heart'.
Sqwee! I've wanted to do something like this for SO LONG! I'm so happy I did this and I hope that you all like your Christmas present from me! Salutations sassy Santas!
