MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!
This is a Christmas fic from me, dedicated to a dear friend of mine.
p/s: I'll continue with the request fics later. Hoping to finish them all before new year (though I have no confidence in doing that. My brain is slowly dying
)
As always, please enjoy!
- Happy Christmas to You (MaYuki) -It was just the night before Christmas and Watanabe Mayu was all alone in the house. Her sister had gone to a friend’s party and most likely to come back extremely late or not coming back at all, leaving Mayu unaccompanied for the rest of the night. The bored and lonely young idol had been staring at her phone for quite some time now, considering if she should send an email to her favourite captain. Mayu was still feeling a bit hesitant about doing so but her hand had already reached out for the electronic device. Finally thinking that it wouldn’t do her any harm if she did, she searched for Yuki’s number and began typing a message.
- I miss you. – Her thumb was already hovering over the send button but did not proceed to deliver the email right away. Mayu stared at the words shown on the screen on the cell phone for a few seconds and then sighed. She couldn’t do it. As much as she missed the older girl, she didn’t want Yuki to know that for some reasons. The cyborg idol erased the message and composed a new one.
- How’s Kagoshima? - Feeling more satisfied with the new text she had written; she pressed send and waited for the reply back. However, almost half an hour passed but she still did not receive anything from email recipient. Mayu checked her cell phone for the nth time and sighed again. It was Christmas Eve and she was going to spend it all alone. Had she known earlier that she was going to be left alone for the rest of the night, she would’ve head over to Aika’s place or organized a hang out with the other members so that she wouldn’t feel as lonely as she did right now.
And Yuki seemed to be too busy to reply to her too, Mayu thought sadly.
Unsure of what else she could do to pass the time, Mayu pulled out one of her mangas from the shelves and sat on her bed. Though she had read that manga for several times now, it was the only one that she felt like reading at the time. As she continued flipping page by page, her eyes occasionally glanced at her phone. A part of her was still hoping that Yuki would reply to her eventually. Her wish came true. Her phone beeped, signaling a new email had came in when she was halfway done the manga. Excited, Mayu quickly grabbed her phone and opened the message.
- Look outside your window. –Mayu frowned at the newly received email. It was from Yuki but why would the captain asked her to do such thing? Then a realization came to her. She abruptly got up from her bed and rushed to her bedroom window. Could Yuki possibly be?
“Surprise!!”
Kashiwagi Yuki shouted from down below and Mayu’s eyes widened in surprise at the sight. She had somewhat expected this to happen at Yuki’s last message but she didn’t really thought that Yuki would really be there, standing outside her house. Without wasting any time, Mayu grabbed her jacket and rushed down to meet the one she had been wishing to see the entire day.
“Merry Christmas, Ma-oof!”
Yuki didn’t get to finish her sentence with Mayu launching herself right onto the unsuspecting taller girl and wrapped her arms around Yuki’s neck. On instinct, Yuki returned the embrace, while trying to maintain her balance so that the two of them wouldn’t fall to the ground.
“Yukirin! What are you doing here??! I thought you said you’re going back to Kagoshima?” Mayu asked right after she pulled away the tight hug.
“That’s correct.” Yuki answered with a smile.
Upon seeing the confused look on Mayu’s face, Yuki giggled lightly. Then the captain took the smaller girl’s hands into her own and gave it a gentle squeeze. The warmth felt good against her cold hands.
“I’m going there tomorrow.”
Mayu was even more confused with Yuki’s explanation. If she remembered correctly, Yuki was supposed to leave early this morning and should be in her hometown by now.
“But you said…” The younger girl was about to retort but stopped herself when she saw the smile on Yuki’s face. It was that smile Yuki always had whenever the captain was being sneaky. At that moment Mayu knew that Yuki had lied to her on purpose. Mayu felt cheated and lightly hit Yuki, who trying her best to stifle her laugh. After a few hits, the cyborg idol stopped and hugged Yuki again; burying her face in the taller female’s chest in order to cover up the wide smile she had on her face right now.
“Black, you liar.” The younger girl said, half complaining. But her tone was a happy one.

“Where’s your sister?” Yuki asked when she noticed the absence of the older Watanabe in the living room.
“Oh, she went out with her friends so it’s just me in the house. Why don’t you have a seat first? I’ll make you hot chocolate.” The younger girl replied, gesturing toward the sofas. She was about to make her way to the kitchen but Yuki had swiftly caught her wrist, keeping her in place. Mayu blinked.
“My poor Mayu-chan. Were you lonely?” Yuki’s eyes softened as she looked at her girlfriend.
“N-not really.” The cyborg idol answered, facing away from her captain when she felt her face grew warm. A surprise yelp came out of her mouth when Yuki suddenly pulled her into a tight hug.
“Yu- Yukirin?” Mayu asked tentatively, her voice just above a whisper.
“Just warm me up for a while.” The captain responded. Mayu closed her eyes and nodded slowly, circling her arms around the taller girl’s waist. The two held each other close quietly, basking in their partner’s warmth.
“I really missed you.” Mayu finally confessed, breaking the silence. Yuki did not say anything but smiled at her girlfriend’s cuteness. Usually the captain would tease Mayu about her tsundereness at a moment like this. But since it was almost Christmas, Yuki decided that she should cut the girl some slack. The teasing could wait until after Christmas.
“Oh yeah, I have something for you.” Yuki said when she remembered about the gift that she planned to give to the younger girl.
Mayu just stared as the taller girl pulled away and took out a small, nicely wrapped package from her bag. She continued to stare as the captain held the gift out in front of her.
“Here you go.”
“Christmas present? For me?” Mayu pointed to herself. The question made Yuki giggled.
“Of course it’s for you, silly. Who else?” At that answer, the younger girl took the gift excitedly and thanked the captain.
“Can I open it now?” Yuki nodded.
Mayu’s eyes was shining as she unwrapped her present carefully. As soon as she saw the content of the box, Mayu gasped. Her eyes widened and she was left speechless. Staring right back at her was the limited edition figurine that she had been eyeing for the past few weeks! She couldn’t believe her eyes. Her girlfriend had somehow gotten that very one thing she had wanted for Christmas! How that was even possible, Mayu did not know because as far as she could remember, she had never told Yuki about it before.
“H-how… how did you know?”
“Santa told me.” Mayu shot Yuki an ‘are-you-serious’ look at the cheesy respond.
“Fine, Rabutan told me.” Yuki answered honestly this time with a defeated sigh. Her mind briefly recalled the trouble that she had to went through just to get that perfect gift for Mayu.
It was not easy getting that little piece of information from the tsundere princess of Team A. Sneaky Aika had gotten the captain working as her slave for a day in return for the knowledge of what Mayu wanted for Christmas. Asking Aika was not Yuki’s first option because she knew something like that would happen. However, since everyone that she asked failed to give her an answer (even Nacchan had no idea what Mayu wanted this year), Yuki’s last resort had to be Aika, who was Mayu’s best friend. Yuki had no choice but to accept the deal. For a day Yuki had to endure the shame of getting curious looks from the other members as Aika ordered her around. She even received a cold look and a threatening email (it was something along the lines of ‘are you trying to steal Ai-chan from me??!’) from Sasshi on that day. Oh, the things Yuki would do for her beloved girlfriend.
“YUKIRIN, THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!”
Yuki smiled. Being able to see that kind of happiness radiating from Mayu’s face was enough to make all the troubles worth going through. For Mayu, she would do everything she could. The captain watched in amusement as Mayu admired the figurine in her hand.
“Ah!” The younger said all of the sudden causing a frown to appear on Yuki’s face.
“What’s wrong?” Yuki asked, slightly worried that there could be a fault with her gift.
“I didn’t get anything for you though…. I thought that you won’t be back until next week so…” Mayu explained. Guilt and shame were written all over her face. Yuki breathed in relief. So there wasn’t anything wrong with her present after all.
“It’s okay Mayu-chan.” Despite saying that with a smile of her face, Yuki couldn’t hide the tiny hint of disappointment in her voice.
“I’m sorry.” Mayu said quietly, her head hung low. Yuki felt bad for her girlfriend. She did feel disappointed that she didn’t get a gift but she didn’t blame Mayu. It was her own fault actually, for surprising the younger girl by appearing suddenly like that.
“Hey, I told you it’s alright didn’t I? Don’t worry about it.” The older girl tried consoling the younger one.
“But I-” Yuki cut Mayu off by pressing their lips together. The kiss lasted for a while before the captain pulled away.
“There. I got my present already.”
The blushing Mayu didn’t bring up the subject again afterward.

As the night progressed on, the couple had made themselves comfortable on the couch. Yuki was sitting at the end of the sofa while the lying down Mayu had her head resting on Yuki’s lap as they watched the Christmas specials airing on the television. The younger didn’t find the variety show they’re watching right now too entertaining but Yuki was absorbed with it. Mayu had a feeling that it was probably because Ishikawa Rika was appearing as a guest on that show. It was no secret how much Yuki idolized the ex-Morning Musume member.
Getting bored watching some famous people talking to each other, Mayu took one of Yuki’s hands and started playing with it; randomly touching and caressing the slender fingers. Yuki did not respond to the actions however, her eyes were still very much glued to the television. After some minutes passed, Mayu grew tired and stopped her abuse on the captain’s fingers. She released her hold on Yuki’s hand and tried to return her focus on the television show. Her attention was diverted once again when she felt Yuki grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers together. Surprised, Mayu glanced at the other female but Yuki was pretty much in the same state as she was before - Still very much taken with the show. It made Mayu wonder whether Yuki was actually aware of her own doings or the older girl was doing it unconsciously. The younger girl smiled warmly at her beloved captain. It was small actions like this that made Mayu adore Yuki very much.
Then Mayu caught sight of a box of chocolates on the table next to the sofa. A familiar song suddenly played itself in her head. That certain song that she had heard Yuki sang and performed countless times before. The cyborg idol licked her lips at the thought that came to her mind. Mayu sat up slowly and reached out for the chocolates, unwrapping one of them. Yuki, who was too busy watching Ishikawa Rika singing, failed to notice that Mayu had her scheming smile on her face.
“Do you want some chocolate, Yukirin?” Mayu offered. The older girl turned slightly at Mayu’s direction while trying to keep her eyes on the screen to answer the question.
“Sure. Thank yo-“
Before Yuki could even finish her sentence, she was cut off by something that Mayu did. As a result, there were only two thoughts that ran through Yuki’s brain at the time. One, Mayu could be quite bold with her actions and two, chocolate had never tasted that good before. After singing about it so much, Yuki finally got a taste of what the lyric of her B4 unit song was all about. All thoughts of Ishikawa Rika quickly dissipated from her mind and her sole focus went to the girl in her arms.
チョコレート 甘くビターな
あなたの毒がおいしいの…
Lying down on the couch breathing heavily with a flushed Mayu (whose breath was also equally uneven) on top of her, Yuki was left feeling slightly lightheaded. The bittersweet taste of the chocolate was left lingering in her mouth. The show that she was watching had ended while they were… a bit ‘preoccupied’ but Yuki didn’t mind at all. Not when the girl she loved so much was hugging her like this.
“Happy Christmas, Yuki-chan.” Mayu spoked softly. A warm smile made its way to the captain’s lips. Tightening her hold around the younger girl, Yuki placed a kiss on Mayu’s forehead.
“Happy Christmas to you too, Mayu.”
