Ack. Hashirama's mom had stopped by suddenly just two days before Christmas, and had promptly asked him two things:
1 - Why haven't you been answering my calls?
2 - Have you got your lady a gift yet?
He didn't really have a good answer for the first question, and was chided for his answer to the second one as well >.< And so, she dragged him to this

Hashi? [She gives him a smile, before closing the window and appearing at the front door a moment later.]
Merry Christmas~

[ And when she opens the door, he pulls his jacket tighter around him and steps inside, pausing to press a very cold kiss on her lips (sorry >.<). ] Merry Christmas~
[ And of course the cats come running and he pets them on the way, his bootlaces giving them plenty of distraction. Oh, and what's this? He's got them something too 8D ]
[ He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a jar of kitty treats. Those are some yummy snacks, which he lets both of them try out from his hand before petting them and wishing each one of them a Merry Christmas >.> ]
[ Turning to Ko, he holds up the jar and also a jingly kitty toy. ] Ah, this is for them... [ Just going to try and not step on kitties as they mew for more and follow him into the kitchen, where he hides the jar and takes out the cat toy instead chuckling at the furballs tumbling around his legs. ]
Ko, did you have more of that hot chocolate? [ lol making himself at home |: And it took him quite a bit to get your attention ( ... )

I let them eat some tuna earlier, those cats are getting spoiled..
[In the kitchen, she pours some milk into a saucepan, heating it up on the stove.]
You know.. you could just knock on the door like a normal person one of these days? How long have you been standing out there?

Oh they'd already been fed? [ He raises an eyebrow at the cats and then laughs, leaning against the pantry top. ]
Uhm, not long. About fifteen minutes. Ten. [ He begins to pull off his gloves as well now. ]
So... [ Suddenly a little nervous, he reaches into one of his pockets on his jacket (I swear he is not wearing an Inspector Gadget jacket) fiddling with the box there before slowly pulling it out in plain view. ] I got you something. [ Now he will ramble~ ] I don't know, uh, I'm not too good at picking these things out. It's.. uhm... [ He's going to awkwardly present it to you now, Ko ]
//ooc: It works now!

[She is not really paying too much attention to his rambling as she busies herself getting out the mugs and chocolate powder. She is listening, but doesn't notice the nervousness until she looks up, seeing the gift held out in his hands]
Oh.. for me? [She takes the gift with a huge smile, stepping forward to kiss him before she opens it]
Thank you.. I have one for you as well~ [And there is a gasp as she opens the box, seeing the gorgeous earrings inside.]
Oh.. Hashirama, these are beautiful.. I don't know what to say..

[She puts them down on the counter for a moment to move over and kiss him, which turns into a hug.]
Thank you.
[She looks at the tickets, smiling] I have never been to the theatre before. I would love to go with you.

You haven't? Oh.. I probably should have bought tickets for another show then D: I thought you might have seen them uh-- [ Shut up Hashirama =,= ] It's... this evening. It's only about two hours, so we can get back with plenty of time to spare for dinner and everything else...
//ooc: OTL sorry for the LATE tag DX

That sounds nice. What would you like to do for dinner?
Reply
[ When asked about dinner, he loosely wraps his arms around her and stares off at the kitchen door, thinking for a bit, humming as he did so. ] Hmm, well what do you usually do on Christmas dinner? I would always get dragged downstairs to the family dinner in something ridiculous like a reindeer sweater or snowflake tie that my grandmother made and insisted I wear... Well, she made us all ridiculous things, so it wasn't just me looking like I did.
[ He looks down at her and smiles. You didn't get him a reindeer sweater now, did you, Ko? .-. ]

But first... let me go get my gift for you. Be right back~
[And off she goes to get it]
Reply
Well then, we could do that. But I'm a terrible cook so, fair warning~
[ And she's off even before he could stop her and tell her she really didn't have to run off just yet D: His arms feel empty now :< He'll just go back to leaning against the counter and letting the cats destroy his bootlaces until she returned. ]

Uh- by the way, before I forget... I was thinking of maybe hosting a new years party here?
What do you think?
[She returns, giving him a gift. Perfectly wrapped of course. It is the first edition of a certain historical book he had been searching for. Then, she brings out something else from behind her back- a ceramic pot filled with dirt and decorated with stones. You can see little cactus seedlings beginning to grow]
Merry Christmas Hashirama.

[ No really, he's just trying to weasel his way out of cooking lessons ;D ]
New Year's party sounds like a great idea~
[ Gently pushes Nagato away from his foot before accepting the presents. The first one, he doesn't get to open right away but he definitely knows what's growing in the second~ His eyes light up at that and he's all smiles and sunshine :D ] This is amazing! I don't have these guys in my collection. And... They're pretty rare 8D [ Remind him that he has another present to open? For now he will kiss you and then go back to playing with the little seedlings like they were his babies or something. It's... kind of creepy. ]
Reply
[She smiles when he opens the gift, glad that he likes it] I thought you could do with something different in the little collection you have going. There are three different types planted within it. ]
Don't forget this one too... [She holds out the other gift for him]
Reply
[ Yes, yes, he is poking at the little babies and saying hello to them in plant-speak .___. He'd probably name them Ichibi, Nibi, and Sanbi. And then of course there's the other gift, which, when she holds out to him again, he finally puts the pot behind him on the counter and takes the book, keeping a close eye on the cats in case they decided to get in it and start digging up a hole for their poop >.> ]
[ Opening up the present, though, he literally scares the cats away by practically whooping in joy at the realization that he'd just been given the ultra rare first edition (of which there are only five surviving in the world) copy of THE most amazing book on Egyptian Mythology. THE MOST AMAZING BOOK EVER. Now he is just shakily thumbing the pages, holding that book like it was a newborn baby, barely breathing, but with every page he turns, his whispered I love you's to Konan get slightly louder by a fraction of a decibel. ]
[ ...Y-yeah. He's just going to close that book ( ... )
