For now I just made this Christmas fic for all of you guys!

==================================
Coming Home for Christmas.
“Ok, plane tickets? Check. Luggage? Check. Christmas Present?”
I looked around and it wasn’t there, I went to my desk and checked the drawers.
I then saw 2 small boxes wrapped in a blue glossy paper with a white ribbon to tie it in place. One was a small square box, the other is a long rectangular box.
This is meant for her and her alone.
I took the boxes and placed them in my travel bag. I’m all set… And then…
“I can’t forget about yuko and the gang now…”
I remembered that the gang wants some presents too.
Luckily, I bought a lot for everyone, especially for my family of course!
I packed up the stuff in another bag and I was set to leave.
I’ve been planning on coming home this Christmas. Thank God, Aki-p said yes.
I bought the plane tickets a few days ago and I’ve shopped presents for them, I even bought presents for SNH and the staff!
I took a few jobs here and there to earn the cash. Worth the effort!
I double checked my stuff. Nothing was missing.
I took my luggage out of my apartment, I went back inside and switched off all the electricity in the apartment.
I left and locked the door.
I took a taxi on my way to the airport. It was a 3 hour drive, good thing I woke up early.
I looked out of the window. The glass was a bit fogged up due to the chilly temperature outside.
It’s December 23 and after I get to my house, I’m just gonna rest before I give all of these to them.
As I arrived at the airport, I paid for the cab and took my luggage out and headed into the airport.
The place was filled with people, well; obviously, it’s an airport after all.
I checked my watch, it was 9 in the morning.
My flight’s about go at 9:15. I went ahead and boarded on the plane.
After 20 minutes it was time for my flight back to Japan to fly.
I listened to some tunes as I looked out the window. I was listening to AKB’s “Anata no Christmas Eve”.
The song gave me such a Cliché but sweet plan. I thought “I should use this plan on Christmas Eve!”
A smile formed on my face. I leaned my head on the window and started to imagine happy things that awaits me once I set foot on Japan.
My eyes felt heavy and I yawned, before I knew it, I fell asleep.
I thought I was sleeping for 5 minutes but I was actually sleeping for 3 hours!
We were already at the airport, everyone left and so did I.
It was 12 in the afternoon and I took a cab back home.
I didn’t tell my family that I was coming home this Christmas. It was a surprise for them.
Once I got home, I knocked on the door and Mama opened it.
“Sae-chan!”
I love seeing Mama’s happy face, I missed her a lot.
She gave me big warm hug and told me she missed me a lot too.
My brothers checked who was at the door and they saw me, they gave me hugs and we all went in the house,
My dad gave me a hug as well, I told them.
“Merry Christmas~!!”
I then gave them the gifts I bought. I then told them that I was going to the theater today.
I took a bath first, changed into some new warm clothes, and wore a jacket and a scarf.
I took the bag full of presents and headed out to the theater.
Today was the theater performance of Team K, so I decided to stop by.
I arrived at the theater and I saw Togasaki-san, I greeted him a Merry Christmas and he did the same.
“How are you Sae?”
He asked.
“I’m doing great! Hey, Togasaki-san, is Team K in there right now?”
“Yeah, they’re taking a break right now.”
He told me. Before I went in I gave him a gift he thanked me and I told him
“Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!”
I opened the door and then yuko shouted.
“SAE-CHAN!!!”
She came up and ran towards me and ruffled my hair. She had to jump just to reach my head.
“How’s my best buddy doin?!”
She cheerfully asked with a happy grin.
“Doing pretty fine, How are you and team K?”
“Doing awesomely”
She said with a happy pride.
“And how’s Sayaka doing after her graduation?”
“Oh ya know, still muscular, still strong as a gori, showing her Majestic abs off from time to time”
She jokingly said. I laughed of course.
“She visits the theater from time to time when she has time.”
She added.
“Is that so? Well, the Big Girl can’t just leave team K THAT easily”
I teasingly said.
“What do ya mean?! Are you saying I’m a bad Captain?!”
After she reacted to that she sulks like a little kid at a corner!
I laughed and so did she. It’s not like she’s gonna take that seriously now.
“What’s in the bag?”
She asked
“Oh, this? They’re just some presents for you guys!”
“GIVE.NOW~!!”
She playfully demanded.
I handed everyone gifts, I told Yuko to give Sayaka her gift,
she asked me why can’t I do it, simply, my answer was, I had plans to make.
She knew what those plans are, so, she agreed.
I also asked her to give the other gifts to Takamina and the others as well, she said.
“You owe me a free meal for this, Sae!”
I thanked yuko and told her to never tell her that I was here and I just came back from Shanghai after that went back home.
All I did the whole day was Chill out and let the Jet Lag fall out of my system.
I just went to bed really early and just dreamed of what to do tomorrow.
On Christmas Eve.
The next day, I felt a lot better, even thou I never mentioned my dizziness and headache,
I had them but sleeping is the best medicine! I then took a bath and wore my casual clothes,
I’m more fashionable that before.
Yeah… I admit my fashion sense sucks a lot… But in danso or boyish type of fashion I was K OKAY.
I told my mom I was going to be out for a while and she told me to buy some groceries while I’m out.
She gave me the money and the list. I took my back pack and I left my house.
“Let’s see… I have to make phase 1 of my plan… Ah! I know! I should Mocchi for this phase!”
I said to myself. I took out my phone and called up Mocchi.
“Hello?”
“Ah, Mocchi! Merry Christmas!”
“Merry Christmas to you too, Sae”
“I’m in Japan right now, would you like to hang out for a bit, and also I have a favor to ask ya!”
“Hm… Sure, why not? It’s been quite a while seen we gone out.”
She teasingly said. I giggled.
“Hehehe, So, it’s 11:30 in the morning, let’s meet up at 12? Is that alright with you, Mocchi?”
“I don’t have any plans today, so, sure! Where to?”
“Let’s meet up at the theater, we’ll decide where to go once we meet up.”
“Well then, see you later Sae-chan~”
“Yeah, Bye.”
We both hung up. I decided to take the train to Akihabara.
The train was packed with people, I was standing and holding onto a rail.
It took 15 minutes or so until the train came to a stop at Akihabara.
I took my time on walking since the Lag was still in me.
When I noticed the time I ran to the theater. After that I saw mocchi waiting on a bench.
“Took you kinda long.”
“Yeah, I still have the lags in me, sorry. So, Shall we go?”
She nodded.
We left the place and headed to a near-by Café, we ordered some cake and coffee and we just chatted a bit.
Of course, I gave her the present I bought her. She thanked me and then she asked.
“What was the favor you wanted to ask me about?”
I told mocchi about my plan and I asked mocchi if she could call her tonight at 11:30 in the evening,
it was gonna be a surprise for her, she agreed to it and after an hour and a half the both of us bid our goodbyes.
I headed to the supermarket to buy what Mama told me to buy.
I took out the list and I started to buy them one by one. When I reached the meat section…
I looked at my left and saw her coming towards my direction; she was focused on her phone.
I decided to run for the hills! (When I say ‘Hills’ I meant into another section of the Supermarket).
I hid behind some shelves. I then realized.
“Oh, duh, I have a hat and a scarf, and my nerdy glasses too”
I murmured to myself.
I placed the basket down
(I forgot to mention that, when I entered the place I took a basket with me, the one you usually see inside the supermarket).
I wrapped my scarf around my neck, I pulled it up a little just to hide my face, ya know, the nose and the mouth.
I wore my glasses and my hat. I took the basket and went back to the meat section.
I had to act cool and normal while spying on her.
(No, not stalking her, spying on her. I’m no stalker.)
She was calling her mom. My first thought was
‘Ah, I bet it’s ketchup problems again.’
And I thought correctly.
“Hey, um… Mom? Yeah… Where do I get them again? I know it’s the nth time already!
You don’t have to point it out! I’m at the meat section, Oh…
So that’s where it is… T-thanks mom… Yeah, bye”
She hung up. I quickly looked away and pretended to inspect the meat.
She walks away.
I sighed.
I don’t want her to know I’m here today, it would spoil my present for her tonight.
For at least 3 hours I bought what I want and what Mama needed for tonight.
I checked the supermarket for a while just to make sure she isn’t here.
Seems like the cost is clear.
I paid for what I bought and left.
As I was going home, I stopped by at a flower shop.
I bought roses, the saleslady asked if these were for someone I cherished
and I said “Yes” to her, she smiled and told me “Merry Christmas” I did the same.
I went home as quickly as possible.
It was already 4:35pm when I arrived. I gave the groceries to my mom and I went straight to my room.
I prepared the clothes I’m going to wear, the presents and other stuff. It’s gonna be a big night for me, hope I don’t screw up!
After preparing, I decided to take a nap, I don’t want to be sleepy on Christmas eve~!
I lied down on my bed and let my tired body shut me down for a few hours.
I sound like a computer with the whole “Shut me Down” thing.
I woke up to the sound of my phone, I sleepily looked for my phone using my hands. I searched under my pillow.
Nope, not there.
I got out of my bed and walked towards my desk which was really far away from my bed (It’s far if you’re feeling lazy).
I checked what time it was, and it was 10 in the evening. I yawned and turned the alarm off.
I looked out of the window. Wow, it’s really dark outside, well, not TOTALLY dark, the street lights help to illuminate the place.
I turned on the lights and stretched my body.
I decided to take a warm bath.
After that I wore the clothes I prepared, I made sure that my present was there on my desk.
I went downstairs and ate dinner with my family.
We played a little to pass time, watched some TV.
“datte suki nante ienai jan~ ano hi no boku wa koi nanka suru kibun janakatta~”
My phone rang. I answered. It was mocchi.
“Hey, I just called her.”
“Ok… What did ya tell her?”
“I told her ‘Let’s meet up at the Christmas tree near Tokyo Tower!’ and she agreed!”
“Awesome!”
“Well, Sae, you better hurry up! It’s 11:35!”
“Oh shoot! You’re right! Thanks Mocchi! I owe you one!!”
We both hung up, I hurried back up to my room and grabbed the 2 boxes that was on my desk,
I wore my jacket and scarf. I placed the boxes in my pockets,
I grabbed my wallet and the roses and told Mama that I was going somewhere after her approval, I left.
I ran and ran on the streets.
I don’t want to be late.
I can’t keep a lady waiting…
Especially her…
I passed a lot of houses, I wasn’t aware of my surroundings.
I checked my watch.
11:45
I only have a few minutes until Christmas Eve.
I hurried. I ran as fast as my legs could take me…
I was already in a sea of people, I dodged each and every one I encounter…
I bumped into a lot on my way but I apologized as soon as I bumped into them.
My legs feel so numb, I’m out of breath.
I’ve reached my destination. A lot of people were walking.
I was looking all around the place just for her… And…
There, beyond the sea of people walking…
She stands alone… Near a big Christmas tree.
I walked towards her… Everything seemed to slow down…
Time slowed down for me…
My breathing slowed down even after all the running I made…
I pushed thru the crowd… She was looking at her phone.
She had an impatient face, she’s still waiting. I gulped….
She’s shivering a little…
I stood 5 meters away from her…
I shouted.
“Oh my dear Snow Princess!”
She looked up as soon as I shouted. She was surprised indeed…
A smile formed on her face…
“Sae….”
She murmured to herself.
I ran towards her and gave her the warmest and the biggest hug I could give her.
I hugged her tight as if I didn’t want to be separated. I whispered to her…
“I’m back…”
She hugs back.
“Sae-chan… I miss you…”
She said while she cries in my arms.
“Same here… Yukirin…”
I kissed her forehead and smiled at her. I wiped away her tears as she looks at me…
“You’ve been away for 2 years….”
She said
“I-I know… I’m sorry! I really am so sorry for being away for so long!”
I said while acting like a desperate idiot. She giggles.
I feel pure happiness…
“Hey… Yukirin… Close your eyes…”
I told her
“A-alright…”
And she did.
I took out the long rectangular box and opened it.
It was a necklace, A Snow flake necklace…
I then gave it to her, I placed the necklace on her and attached the two ends together.
“Open your eyes…”
When she opened it she said
“Sae-chan… i-it’s beautiful…”
“Yeah… B-but that’s not all…”
“Huh?”
“Here.”
I gave her the small box that was wrapped in blue and tied up with a white silk string…
“Open it”
I softly said to her…
She placed the box on one hand and the other pulled one of the ends of the string.
The string slowly floats down onto the ground. She slowly takes the wrapper off and opens the box.
“I know I’ve been and idiot, I’ve been a bit dense and slightly, I’m sorry.
But, for God knows how many years I’ve known you, I love you. You were an awesome friend to be with.
The moments I’ve shared with you as a friend gave me these feelings I tried to shake off, but, I couldn’t…
And then, I ended up… Telling you I love you so much that I don’t want to be your friend anymore!
I told you… That… I love you more than that… I was happy to be your lover, really,
I was happier than anyone else in this entire world! Up until last year I was thinking…
If I should do this… And I decided to do it now…
I don’t care what people would say about us all I care about is how we’re gonna spend eternity with each other…”
I paused.
“Sae…”
She said.
“Kashiwagi Yuki, I love you more than anyone else….”
I gently took the box and opened it.
Within the box was a Silver ring with words engraved on it saying.
“Like Eternity, I will forever love you”
The snow falls down as I say the words…
“Will you please marry me?”
Her tears falls down as she smiles and says
“Yes, Yes I’ll marry you!”
I stood up and gave her hug and kissed her gently and sweetly.
I want to savor the taste of her lips once more before we part…
12 midnight
“Merry Christmas, Yuki…”
“And a happy new year to you… Sae…”
It was a Happy White Christmas for us...
After that, we went on a date to celebrate.
I don’t care if the paparazzi catches us, I don’t care what they say…
I came home this Christmas Eve just for her…
~The End~
