A Carol of knives and canvases (DDLC Yuri X Reader) Short Story

Sharp yet delicate

"Come on motherfucker you got this just walk up to her and hand Yuri the gift" looking at myself in the mirror I went through several scenarios of me giving this present to Yuri.

I've been standing in front of this damned mirror for so long that the concept of time seems to be drifting away from me. . . . Wait what time is it, gazing down at my watch my eyes bulged upon seeing how late it was.

"THREE TWENTY FIVE?! HOLY SHIT!" My voice boomed as I scrambled about my room trying to get everything in order.

My hair is a mess, my clothes are covered in paint and my eyes are bloodshot to hell from staying up so long. I let out a sigh now realizing that I should've spent more time getting ready instead of talking to myself in the mirror like a dumbass, now here I am running around my room like a mentally insane person with no chance of fixing myself up in time. Ruffling my hair I let out a grunt and decide "fuck it Natsuki always looks like a mess so what's so bad about me being a little unready" picking up everyone's gift I stuff then in my bag but choose to keep Yuri's in my hand since it's a bit bigger than the rest of the club members present. Still in rush I throw on my Winter wear and make my way to the front door, after carefully putting down all the stuff in my hands I pick up my scarf from the wardrobe and wrap it around my neck, I was just about to get my bag back into my grip however something in peculiar caught my attention. My dad's Military uniform covered in a desert camouflage pattern, I slowly brush down the sleeve with my hand trying my best to hold back any tears "Old man knew what to do with insurrectionist, didn't you?" I whisper in a mournful voice, remembering my actual goal I pick up my stuff and look at the uniform one last time with a smile on my face, eventually that's what paps would like to see right now "Merry Christmas dad" and with that I step out of the house. I exhaled upon seeing the beauty of the snow outside which immediately raised my Christmas spirit again, shaking my head I readjusted my bag and got going upon realizing I had a long way to go. Walking up to the driveway it was then I noticed that a car had been parked up there . . . Strange approaching the car I could see that it was a red Nissan note and inside I could hear someone listening to Christmas tunes and while I didn't want to be an ass on Christmas they were blocking our driveways so I had to tell them off

"HEY!" Raising my voice slightly I knock on the cars window and seconds later I could hear the music turn down and not so long after the person also rolled down their window. My eyes widened open noticing who was driving this car.

"MONIKA?!" I looked in surprise as Monika pushed down her sunglasses and glared at me.

"Kept me waiting huh Y/N" a deafening silence emerged between us as we starred at one another. After about a minute we both laughed our asses off and greeted one another properly but I just had to ask her.

"Since when do you drive?"

"Everyone getting gifts for Christmas aren't they?"

A smile appeared on my face as Monika told me to get in her car, resting my bag and Yuri's present beside me I exhale and after finishing her drink Monika started up her car and we were on our way. After couple minutes of driving we arrived at a red light and it seems like Monika couldn't help but comment on how I look like.

"What happened to you Y/N?"

"Just a bad evening that's all I gotta say boss"

"What did I say about you calling me like that?"

"Oh sorry, force of habit"

"And I thought you would already get along with that"

"Just sometimes it slips out of my tongue"

The light turns green and we got on the road once again. Some time passes and we enter the more urban area of Japan with not many buildings to be found, figuring this ride was going to take a while I get relaxed and lay my head back hoping to drift off to sleep but Monika's curiosity seemed to hate the idea of me doing that because she tried to ask me something.
