Back dated to the 25th

[It was Christmas, for some the holiday was more special. To Yuya it meant he needed to gift something to the important people in his life.

Only problem is, he has no money...

Oh well, he could make something, right?

With these giant claws, making something so tiny was... a challenge. He had started by trying to make a necklace like he had for Sora's birthday. But he ended up snapping the rope. He tried paper mache, but his claws were too big he couldn't see what he was making.

In a last ditch effort, he had decided to make a sculpture out of wire and clay. It had stayed together... For the most part, but it also was incredibly rough looking. It was supposed to resemble Mozarta. One of Yuzu's very own monsters! Though it's... hard to tell at first glance.

He holds it delicately in one of his claws before knocking on her door.]

Um, Yuzu? Are you up?

[songstressedout]

[ Yuzu rustles in her bed for a bit. It’s in the morning, and Yuzu’s ended up choosing Christmas of all times to sleep in. ]

Mm... Yuya...?

[ She yawns, still tired, and her hair down (and in a mess). She may as well get up now, right? ]

I’m... I’m up, hold on...

[ A minute later, the door opens to show a still-slightly groggy Yuzu, a few tendrils holding hairbrushes moving around behind her and combing her hair down so it isn’t sticking out in every direction. She’s just wearing some loose pajamas and nothing else, but she’s just woken up, so she’s not thinking of her appearance too much yet. ]

Merry... [ She yawns. ] Christmas, Yuya... [ And then she smiles at him. ]

[pendulumentertainment]

Merry Christmas!

[If it had been anyone else, maybe Yuya would have had a problem with the clothing thing. But at the moment he was too excited to give her the gift he had made. So much so, it's probably the happiest he's been in a while. The wings are also flapping like mad again...]

I-I didn't have any money to buy you anything. So I made you something instead!

[He opens his hand to reveal a small wire sculpture. The one he had made himself.]

I-it's um... It's supposed to be Prodigy Mozart. Your old ace- I um... I kinda messed up a little here and there but uh... [He laughs nervously.] I... I hope you like it...

[songstressedout]

[ She blinks at the wire sculpture for a moment. It really is rough, and she wouldn't have been able to tell that it's Mozarta if Yuya hadn't just told her.

It's definitely a rough present, but seeing how excited he was and how fast his wings flapped... god, she could feel her heart skip a beat. It's official, she has a type, and this is it. ]

Oh, Yuya... I love it.

[ Normally, she'd tease him a bit with the childish nature of the gift, but considering his current physical state... it makes sense for it to be this rough. Yuya is getting let off of Yuzu's teasing hook, today. Fortunately for him, that's not the only gift he's getting for Christmas today. ]

Hold on, I made you something as well...

[ She takes the wire sculpture (making a mental note to cherish it), and she looks behind her and around her room. After a second of searching, one of her tendrils darts out from behind her and pulls out a red knitted scarf.

It's... definitely rough. Yuzu's spent a lot of time practicing her knitting skills, but she's only had about a month of practice. The scarf could use work, and Yuzu honestly wishes she could have made it a bit longer, but it'll function as a scarf. ]

I've... started knitting a lot. I promise to make you a better one someday, but for now...

[ She holds up the scarf to him. ]

Merry Christmas!

[Yuya blinks. He... hadn't really expected to get a gift in return. But the thought makes him feel warm, he'd count this as a good day, because if he didn't think about things... If he didn't think about anything else...

Before he could even stop them, tears started to fall from his eyes. And although the flapping wings had slowed down... they were still going.]

Um- S-sorry I like it! I-I like it a lot!

[songstressedout]

[ Oh. Oh, Yuzu's doomed. She sees him cry and at first she panics—did she upset him? But no, these are happy tears... and god she wants to just coddle him and care for him and— ]

I-I'm glad!

[ What were those thoughts!? Her face is turning red, and she's trying to act natural but her tendrils are moving around excitedly. Some of them have even formed into heart shapes behind her... not that she realizes it. ]

[pendulumentertainment]

S-sorry I- [He tried to wipe away the tears, though he'd dare not use the scarf.] I'm... I'm just glad you're here...

[He had no idea why he was getting so emotional, and part of him feels selfish for being glad someone he cares about is stuck here with him- but...]

You make things here a little less... awful.

[His face is entirely red now.]

[songstressedout]

[ Those words somewhat snap her back to reality, and she smiles at him. ]

I'll always be here for you. After everything we've been through, I'll always make sure I stay by your side...

[ Even if they end up separated, she'll always find him again. ]
