Michiru was excited for the holidays, especially Christmas. She decorated the house, with the help of Aliyah and a reluctant Shirou. She was the most excited for Secret Santa. She gathered all of her friends, and somewhat made them participate.
"Why must we do this?" Shirou asked
"Because it's fun, and joyful." Aliyah counter in a happy tone
"Aliyah's right!" Michiru exclaimed. She began explaining the rules of secret Santa.
She passed around the hat having people draw a persons name. Once she got to Aliyah and Shirou, she rigged the drawing. She rigged it so the two would get each other.
"How about next week we all go shopping for our secret Santa's." Michiru suggested
There was a murmur of agreement. And so that brings us to the present.
{Aliyah's POV}
I walked around the market, Shirou by my side, along with Michiru and Nina. We were discussing what we were going to get our secret Santa, while Shirou remained silent. After a bit, Michi convinced us to spilt into groups, Nina and her, and Shirou with me. Michi was quick to pull Nina away.
"Be careful!" I yelled at them.
"We will." They responded.
I turned to to Shirou, and asked "Where would you like to go first?"
He shrugged and suggested that we should window shop before going into any store. After a bit of walking, the market began to be crowded, so I held Shirou's hand.
"What are you doing." He asked abruptly.
"I didn't want to get separated since it's become crowded her." I replied honestly.
Shirou let out a soft but still audible 'fine'. As we continued walking I saw that he would occasionally scratch his neck, where his collar was. I immediately knew what to get him. I noticed a store that should have my gift.
"Hey, Shirou can we stop there? I want to get something for Izumi too." I asked while pointing to the shop.
He nodded and began to lead the way, still keeping our hands intertwined. As we walked to the shop, something caught my eye, a small heart locket. I glanced at it one more time before entering the shop. I let out a 'thanks' to Shirou for opening the door.
"I shouldn't take too long, Shirou. We can meet up here in a bit, if you want to get your secret Santa gift in the mean time." I suggested.
He swiftly nodded and went out the door. I made sure he wasn't in sight before getting his gift. It took a few, but I found it, anti-chafing Italian leather collar. I also decided to get Izumi his own hat and notebook.
