Christmas Chapter: Under the Mistletoe (Part 1)

Author: This chapter is canon. Kinda in the future, but I just posted it here early because Christmas.

"Pfft, it says gullible on the ceiling," Ryo giggles, pointing up above the cramped closet room that the entire band is stuck in. 

Now if you're wondering why the entire band is stuck in the supply closet, when it's Seika's birthday. It's Seika's birthday. Which is also Christmas. But that means it has to be a surprise. And it just so happens that since the band shares one damn braincell, they all decided to hide in the same place. 

Tokumei's in the middle, Hitori's by the door, Nijika and Kita are being squished to the walls and Ryo's also there in the middle. So you can probably imagine how luck-I mean unfortunate Tokumei is feeling right now-

"Okay, who's dumb enough to actually fall for it?" Nijika whispered. "Anyone willing to be a sacrifice for u- And of course Tokumei is looking upwards. I just HAD to say sacrifice."

"...Guys, don't look up. It's something worse than gullible," Tokumei's face was red. He tried to reach for the light switch, but unfortunately, his arms are cramped since he's literally in between three of his bandmates right now. "Maybe if we close the lights, Seika won't notice?"

"It's a mistletoe, isn't it?" Nijika asked.

Kita looked up and almost shouted. She stopped herself and just nodded furiously. 

Hitori, meanwhile, face red is just looking out if Seika is coming over. Just making sure that PA-san's signal is clear for them to surprise her. But now that she thinks about it, them being in a closet together is going to override the surprise in and of itself.

"So... who's kissing who?" Ryo tried to play devil's advocate.

Everyone else in the band got their faces red. 

"No one's kissing anybody okay?" Nijika tried to be the voice of reason here. "We're in a birthday party. Not a normal party where we all play seven minutes in heaven for... some reason."

"But... it's the law of the mistletoe though," Kita being the socialite that she is. Has to make sure that every social custom is performed. "I ain't going through another Christmas without seeing my friends make out under a mistletoe! THAT'S LIKE ONE OF MY GOALS THIS YEAR!"

"WHAT KIND OF GOALS ARE THOSE?!" Tokumei asked, before Nijika covered his mouth with her hand. "MMMMPH. MMPH. MMMPH. MMPH!"

"Ah. He's saying that uh... This is his words, not mine. Ikuyo that's a stupid goal to have," Hitori translated for him.

"How can- Never mind," Nijika said.

"...I'm fine with girls kissing too you know?" Kita said, making Ryo almost burst into laughter. Kita then continued, "That would be pretty hot too and very Insta worthy!"

Nijika then noticed that her hand was wet. Since Tokumei's nose was bleeding on it. She gets her hand away and bonks him on the head. "Oi! Get your head out of the clouds! God, this is why Ryo getting you to read doujins was a horrible idea!"

"He was bound to grow up eventually. Rest assured, I gave him great taste in the-" Ryo said before she was also bonked by Nijika.

"You three are perverts, you know that?" Nijika sighs. "Why can't you be like Bocchi here? At least she ain't a pervert."

Hitori sweats and just agrees with Nijika since she knows full well that her assumption about her was a complete lie. But the praise just got to her head as usual and she simply giggled creepily. Making the rest of the band... kinda creeped out about it.
