Christmas in November
Leader would've liked to say he was surprised when he opened his door to find Nagase, beaming brightly, a shopping bag in one hand, and Taichi, looking half-asleep and smiling placidly, tucked under his other arm.
Well, maybe he was a little surprised. Nagase was wearing pants, after all.
"Merry Christmas!" Nagase cried, waving one arm around so the contents of the shopping bag clinked together threateningly.
A little wary of the all too familiar scene, Leader quickly considered his options. "Christmas isn't for another month," he replied cheerfully and moved to close the door.
"Wait, wait!" Nagase objected, frowning. "I know that. But we need more Christmases in a year, doncha think? Celebrate more often. Togetherness and eggnog and all that great stuff!"
Leader raised an eyebrow. "You're going to pioneer this 'monthly Christmas' idea?"
Nagase nodded emphatically. "Plus you're such a great leader, Leader, than I thought you should get Christmas early!"
Leader frowned and scratched his head. "Wait, I'm confused. So I don't get Christmas on Christmas? Or--"
"Plus it's your birthday!" Taichi added.
Nagase looked down at Taichi, surprised. "It's his birthday?" He counted quickly on his fingers before grinning and waving his arm around again. "Plus it's your birthday!" he cried. "Happy birthday, Leader! Here's your present!"
It wasn't until Nagase, beaming, pushed Taichi forward that Leader realized Taichi had a thick red ribbon tied in a bow around his neck.
"Nagase!" he cried, appalled. "You can't give bandmates as gifts!"
Nagase frowned. "Why not?" he demanded. "Gussan gave me Taichi for my birthday so he's mine to give, right? Look, I even wrapped him up and everything!"
"I'm being regifted," Taichi added solemnly, looking up at Leader with sad eyes. "Why am I being regifted, Leader?"
Leader blinked. "Taichi," he asked slowly, "are you drunk?"
"I thought he might not mind being regifted so much if he was drunk," Nagase explained.
"Hello, did you just meet Taichi or something?" Leader exclaimed, flailing for good measure.
"Everyone's talking about me like I'm not here," Taichi observed sadly.
"Well fine, if you don't want Taichi I'll just keep him," Nagase decided, sounding unconcerned, and pulled Taichi back to hug him with one arm. He held up the shopping bag and grinned. "You can have this instead. You like rum, right? What am I saying, everyone likes rum. You're expected to share, of course. We'd better act quick if we're gonna catch up with Taichi, he's had an awful lot already--"
Leader frowned and grabbed Taichi's arm, pulling him inside quickly. "Y'know that sounds like a great offer but I'm gonna have to pass on that thanks for stopping by have a great day buh-bye." He slammed the door and locked it quickly.
Nagase thumped on the door a few times before yelling, "Fine, more for me, then!"
Leader rolled his eyes. "Sounds like Koichi's in for a long day."
Taichi leaned against Leader and smiled placidly. "You want me after all!"
Leader sighed. "And you! Stop hanging around with Nagase without adult supervision!"
*snuggles Taichi*
