~Egocentric~

Special Chapter #3

Secret Santa

"Huh?" Y/n blinked, staring at the bowl that was held towards him.

"For the holidays, Anri-chan suggested we participate in Secret Santa. We put everyone's names already so we're just going around and telling people to pull from it." Isagi said as Bachira eagerly nodded.

"Ah, I see." Y/n slowly nodded.

He reached into the bowl for a second before reaching in and pulling a single slip of paper.

"Who is it?! Who is it?!" Bachira quickly asked as the boy unfolded the paper.

"That'd defeat the purpose of the "secret" part. And we made it clear to everyone that they're not allowed to tell anyone who's participating in this who they got." Isagi said.

Y/n was silent as he stared at his slip of paper before he burst out laughing, hand over his mouth as he tightly clutched the piece of paper.

"This really is a good name! I got lucky." Y/n grinned.

Bachira's curiosity grew even more and he complained to Isagi as the latter dragged him away, presumably to hand out the rest of the slips.

"Time to brainstorm!" Y/n hummed as he began walking, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"The gift has to be perfect...I mean, I might as well just give him myself. Anyone would want me." He snorted.

Then, he paused, smile falling as he seemed to ponder over the idea.

"Should I...?" Y/n mumbled, squinting his eyes.

"It'll be an option." He shrugged, resuming his walk.

——-

"One-two! One-two! One-two! Go go go!" Y/n chanted as Chigiri quickly advanced while stepping into the holes of some tires.

"I'm going...! So shut up!" Chigiri scowled as a vein popped out the side of his face.

"I can't hear you!" Y/n continued, hands cupped around his mouth.

But just then...

"Ack-!" Y/n groaned, hands immediately flying to the back of his head after a ball was thrown at him.

"Hurry up with your drills. You're just wasting our time and taking up unnecessary space." Barou scowled.

"Fine, fine. No need to be so mad." Y/n huffed as he approached the beginning of the row of tires.

Y/n stretched as he waited for Chigiri to return to the front of his own row before starting.

"You wanna race?" Y/n grinned, making Chigiri roll his eyes.

"I'm way more tired than you right now. It wouldn't be fair." Chigiri said.

"Sounds like an excuse. Plus, I was working on something else prior to this, so I'm tired too." Y/n dramatically yawned before quickly stepping back when Chigiri went to punch his arm.

"I can't wait to have a break from this imprisonment and you." Chigiri exhaled.

"C'mon~ I'm not that bad. I'm actually the best guy you could meet. I'm handsome, amazing, thoughtful, and just overall the best." Y/n listed with a cocky grin.

"You're arrogant, lazy, chaotic, and loud. Doesn't sound very perfect to me." Chigiri deadpanned.

Y/n pouted before he turned and began the drill. He went several times at a quick pace, and honestly, it was pretty tiring and he was working up quite the sweat.
