The Best Family Ever

[mrhanekoma]

[Today, his family would show up. He's sure of this, so he closed the cafe early and decorated it for a Christmas party. There's a tree in the corner, gifts stacked high underneath it (he's been restlessly shopping for this day, you see). The place smells of Gingerbread cookies and cinnamon coffee. There's some eggnog (adult eggnog in the back too

[Christmas!

And this entire atmosphere is pretty much the most cheerful atmosphere he has ever seen.

Have Alice? hugging the wall, blinking at the festivities with his hands in his pockets, as per usual.]

[mrhanekoma]

[POPPING UP BEHIND YOU and shoving an elf hat on your head, Alice.]

Hey, Kyou, the wall ain't gonna hug back.

[protagonized]

[aslkdnaklsndklsa--

Pulling it off! He looks at it in his hands, blinking, frowning.]

I know that! I'm just--

[Just um.

...who even knows anymore. Just trying to figure out what the proper thing to do here is.]

[mrhanekoma]

[Guiding him by the shoulders towards the gingerbread cookies.]

Stop sulking then. It's Christmas which of course, makes it incredible.

[ Like a good mother, Aziraphale arrives and watches over the kids - there was the ever-present fear of the cold getting to them, dangers of snow, all sorts of things. He was quite fretful, but he was doing his best to not let it stop him from having a good time; he was going to enjoy himself with his family. His heart was set on it - in fact, it was rushing.

He had promised to keep his traditional religious enthusiasm on the down low, but he couldn't help humming a hymn under his breath. He had been around Back Then, after all, so perhaps the meaning struck him more than it would with someone else. ]

[mrhanekoma]

[Have a peck to the cheek and a Gingerbread man with a halo. Just for you, Azy.]

Reminiscing?

[benevolist]

[ The angel can't help flushing a little, smiling at the gingerbread man. That was, quite frankly, adorable. ]

Perhaps a little. I did promise not to, but alas.

[mrhanekoma]

[A smile, as expected from you.]

It's alright. I just want the kids to figure out their own opinions of the holiday first, yeah? Especially Alice.

[I see that mistletoe I KNOW YOUR EVIL SCHEMES Neku's honestly intimidated by the entire event. Being back in Shibuya was wonderful, fantastic, even, but-

The food, the presents stacked high, the atmosphere; he hasn't experience anything like this before, and so that wall is getting a lot of love tonight.]

[protagonized]

[Let's bump into each other little brother-- oh hi.

He sticks his hands in his pockets and tries to seem nonchalant.]

...Hey.

[shibuya_rave]

[Oh he sees you there, wall clinging- is a time honored teenage tradition; thank you for sharing it with him.

Those sour looks, all on Christmas- Sanae will not be pleased. Neku merely shrugs in return, face bland.]

Hey.

...Merry Christmas, Kyou.

[protagonized]

[It is indeed, particularly for these teens. Have a bit of a smile, though.]

Merry Christmas, Neku.

Is this...how it usually is?

[This being...HELLO FESTIVITIES nonsense.]

THE MISTLETOE

[mrhanekoma]

[Daunting. Suspicious. And completely incognito. It might be floating here and there too. Try to avoid it? PUHLEASE.]

[oh_neku_dear]

[Joshua is highly amused at how far Sanae went to get into the holiday cheer.]

The hat's a nice touch.

[He surveys the rest of the room with mild interest, since it seems to strangely change every year, yet at the same time keep that same sense of home.]

[mrhanekoma]

I do like to impress, y'know.

[A smirk and a wink and he shoves a reindeer hat on your head, Joshua. AND A RED NOSE. HAHAHAHAHA]

[oh_neku_dear]

[SANAE, HE WILL END YOU. He sighs, and will keep it on for the sake of the holiday spirit. Just...blech, it's just a silly reminder of his birthday right around the corner. It's a simple matter of forgetting that little detail in favor of the present.

...The nose is a little much, and he is taking that off, like, now.]

Hee hee, and you do such a good job. Gonna play Saint Nick this year, are you?

[shibuya_rave]

[He might be wearing an elf hat but he's still laughing at you.]
