Y1 Vol7.5: Mirthless Christmas

(3rd person POV)

today supposedly marks the first day of christmas for many, it is a joyous festivity and event for everyone around the world, many consider it the final line in the chapter they call a year but for others it's merely a number passing by to signal the close arrival of their goals.

a young man with blonde hair sat down upon his desk in a very niche office, this office is mainly used by his fellow teachers in this school but today...he is alone by himself, though the lonliness is easily forgettable as he had recieved a letter, the name of the sender is written in a very elegant way on the right corner of it...'Nina Fortner'

he opened the letter and found it smelling of willow flowers, he smiles to himself as he reads the content of it.

'Dear brother

Today marks the 5th year anniversary of when we first reunited again, can you believe it?, i used a nickname to send this letter like you asked me so i hope you're happy.

I have been doing quite well here, my studies in college seem promising and i should be able to get my master's degree soon!, miss christanne has been taking such good care of me, i hope you and mister sakayanagi are on good terms like us!.

I pray you haven't forgotten to check up on kutsuki-kun for me, if you make him sad i'll punch you!!, he is a frail child so please give him the same amount of love and care you give to me, we three are family after all.

Christmas is such a joyous event so i beg of you to not spend it by yourself like you used to, go out and have a drink with your friends, the books you read will not fly out of the window if you leave them!

In the end...i wish you happiness and health in the coming future.

Sincerely Anna'

johan folded the letter properly and put it back in his pocket as soon as he finished reading it.

he leaned back on his chair as he sighed.

"kutsuki huh...it's been a while since i have heard that name..." he murmered as he looked out the window.

in another place, two people stood by the roadway close to the school building, one was a woman with black hair and purple eyes, she wore a beige colored coat on top of her usual black vest and black pants.

beside her is a man with dark brown hair and gloomy eyes, he himself didn't change out of his usual outfit of a simple dark brown sweater, even if the weather is stabbingly cold.

"you're gonna die of hypothermia if you do this every christmas y'know?" the woman said as she looked at the man with narrowed eyes.

"i don't think a jacket will change much for me, this is more than enough" he replied with a smile to which the woman sighed heavily.

"whatever floats your boat...by the way, how's your class been?" she asked

"before the holiday they became extremely organized, far less chatter and much more obedient, a product of lelouch lamperouge's leadership after overthrowing ryuuen" he replied as he pulled out his cigarette packet.

"you want one?" he said as he waved the packet towards hiratsuka.

"sure, back on topic, lelouch becoming the leader will change alot of things for class D, maybe they'll bring my little kiddos back to their origin" 

"maybe but you still have ayanokoji kiyotaka and yuuichi katagiri, those two are a dangerous duo"

"yeah and an injured ayano tateyama!!, that little shit karma got what he deserved!" she said as she clenched her fists in anger
