Author's Note:

Hello everyone! I can't believe it's been a year since I initially posted this work. As a little one-year celebration I have another double update since technically I was supposed to post yesterday. Also wanted you guys to know that it seems that this story will round out about 60 chapters. I'm also finished with my semester so regular updates should be returning soon. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one and the next coming shortly.

"He'll like this, right?" You asked, your voice full of concern as you rotated the wrapped box in your hands. "I just want to be sure."

"Yes, Princess," Satoru sighed, his arms coming around you from behind, pulling you into his chest. "Stop worrying about this. Megumi already really likes you."

"Okay, okay." You nodded, taking a breath. "Then are you ready? We have to drop ours before anyone sees."

It was after hours on Christmas Eve, you and Satoru not staying behind for work, but instead a little Christmas party with your co-workers. Tonight's activity was Secret Santa, which created a buzz around the office with some people desperately trying to figure out who theirs was going to be.

You stepped into the lounge with Satoru, a Christmas tree, lights, and ornaments decorating the space. You let out a sigh of relief, grateful as you saw that no one had arrived yet, quickly placing your gifts among the others.

"Are you still not going to tell me who you have, Satoru?" You asked, sitting down on the couch with him beside you, facing the tree.

"All you need to know is that it's not you," Satoru smiled, pulling your legs across his lap.

"Come onnn." You scooched closer to him, your hands playing with the black tie that went along with his all-black outfit. "It's only fair since I told you mine."

"Nope!" Satoru shook his head, soft chuckles leaving his lips as his hand traveled over your clothed thigh. "That'll be breaking the rules, Sweetheart."

You rolled your eyes, "Since when have you been such a stickler for rules, moron."

"A man can change for the better," Satoru replied, leaning in towards you.

"Oh really," you scoffed, maintaining eye contact with the blindfolded man. "All for Secret Santa?"

"Mhm." A slow grin began to grow on Satoru's lips, his hand still sliding along the light grey linen of your pants.

"You know we can't sit like this when everyone comes, right?" You mumbled, heat flushing your cheeks as your faces hovered millimeters away.

"Why not?" Satoru feigned a pout, the rebellious edges of his lips still holding the grin underneath. "We're not flashing anyone."

"That should not be your standard, idiot." You chuckled, flicking Satoru on his forehead. "And I refuse for us to become the annoying PDA couple here."

"Well, it's a good thing—" Satoru cut himself off as you adjusted your legs off his lap, the voices of your colleagues floating down the hallway outside. A few seconds later, Nobara, Yuji, and Megumi entered, bringing in a cart full of refreshments and snacks for the event.
