My Hero // Baji Keisuke

December 25, 2002

It was finally Christmas. Christmas to you was nothing special since you've never celebrated. Now that you had Baji, you were getting a bit excited to celebrate this holiday with him. After hearing you say you've never celebrated Christmas before, Baji knew he had to make it special for you. He told the guys so they can plan something at his place.

You were getting dressed to go out. Emma told you to hang out with her, so you agreed. You heard a knock on the door. Ryoko opened the door and let Emma in. Emma made her way to where you were.

"Hey Y/N!"

"Hey."

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah, I was just waiting for you."

"Before we leave, here. I got you something."

Emma handed you a bag. You grabbed it and looked inside. You pulled out a jacket that matches hers just in a different color.

"I thought we could match!"

"I love it. Thanks Emma."

You removed the jacket you had on and put on the one Emma gave you instead.

"I have your gift in my room, but I'll give it to you later."

"I can't wait to see what it is. Now let's go."

The two of you now left. Baji called Mikey and Draken to let them know they can come over. Ryoko had to leave to go grocery shopping.

"This is so exciting! Did you already get something for Baji and his mom?"

"N-no."

"What?! We have to go shopping then! I'll help you look for a gift for them."

You agreed and you girls went shopping. It was hard for you to pick out a gift for the two of them. As you were browsing the store, you came across a mug with a saucer. The mug had flower designs on it. You got it knowing Ryoko would definitely use it since she always drinks coffee. Now all that was left was Baji's gift. You spent half an hour looking for something you thought he'd like.

"Still can't find anything?"

"No."

"Let's go to the next store then."

The next store was a toy store. You honestly thought you wouldn't find anything there. You decided to look around since you were running out of options. You went down each aisle. When you looked at the top of one of the shelves, you saw a motorcycle. It looked like the motorcycle Baji owned. It was too high up for you girls, so Emma asked someone if they can get it for you.

"This looks like Baji's bike."

"Are you going to buy it?"

You looked at the price and saw it was at a discounted price. You had enough money to buy it. Ryoko started giving you and Baji an allowance, so instead of wasting all that money, you saved it up.

"Yeah, I'm going to buy it."

The two of you were now heading back to your place. On your way back, Emma saw this cafe she wanted to go to. She begged you to go and you agreed. You girls got something to drink and left.

"You guys took forever." Baji said as you girls arrived.

"Whatever, we were just doing girl things."

The two of you entered and took off your shoes. You noticed the living room decorated in Christmas decorations. Also, you saw the guys there.

"Y/N-chin, Merry Christmas!" Mikey said as he approached you. "Here." Mikey handed you a doriyaki.

"Thanks."

The guys were playing a board game, so you girls joined. You guys spent an hour playing before dinner was ready.

"Dinner is ready!" Ryoko said as she placed tray's of food at the table.

Everyone got up and went to serve themselves. You guys all ate and talked. You were enjoying your time with everyone. You never thought you'd get to spend Christmas with anyone.

"Let's continue playing!" Baji said.

Everyone got up and went to go play. Ryoko sighed and picked up the dishes the guys left. You saw her cleaning up and decided to help her.

"You don't have to help me, you can join everyone else."

"It's ok, I want to help."

She just smiled and continued cleaning. Once you guys finished cleaning, you joined the others. You guys spent most of the time playing different board games.

Nighttime...

Everyone was now heading back home. You were sad the day had to end, but you knew you can hang out with them some other time. Now that everyone has left, you and Baji could now open your gifts. You saw which gifts were yours. You were surprised to see Mikey, Draken and Kazutora got you something.

When did Kazutora bring my gift?

You opened Mikey's gift first. He gifted you a doriyaki plush keychain and snacks. You then opened the gift Kazutora got you. He gifted you a bow hair clip. Draken got you a figure of your favorite anime character.

I should thank them when I see them.

You then opened the gifts Baji and his mom got you. You got a pair of boots that you've been eyeing, clothes, and jewelry. Now it was time to open the gift Baji got you. Baji got you a bear plush bag. You thought it was cute.

"No way! This is the same as my bike! Y/N this is cool!"

"I knew you'd like it."

"This mug looks nice. I can't wait to use it." Ryoko said as she smiled.

The three of you spent the night watching a movie. Once the movie was over, you guys headed to your rooms. Baji wasn't tired, so he decided to stay up and play the game his mom got him. You also weren't tired, so you stayed up as well and watched him play.

"So, how was your first Christmas?"

"I loved it. I had fun."

"That's good. Me and everyone else tried to make really fun for you. I'm glad you loved it."

I can't wait to spend more holidays with them.
