Spider-Man and The Esper

79. Christmas Day

"~Thwiping through the streets. Going through cities every night. Wrapping bad guys up in my webs so tight. Crawling up the walls. Making villains falls. What fun to make the holidays free from crime tonight~" Fubuki sang excitedly as she was hanging ornaments onto the fake Christmas tree in her apartment.

Michael was busy untangling a bundle of lights, getting more frustrated by the second as Michael wasn't making any progress.

"Sing the rest, Web-head."

"No way am I singing!" Michael snapped at her as Michael continued to fiddle with the lights.

She giggled at Michael as she pinched his scared cheek. "You're so adorable when you're mad. Here lemme help."

She took the lights from Michael as she moves around him in super fast movements, entangling the Spider-themed hero. Michael just gave her a look and she giggled and hugged Michael

"Like I said before. Where's your Christmas spirit, sweetheart?" Michael rolled his eyes at the nickname and she laughed again then kissed Michael in the web of lights.

"This is nice and all, but how do I get out?"

"Easy!" Fubuki exclaimed, she disappeared for a few seconds. She reappeared right next to Michael as the lights fell to the floor, freeing the short hero.

"Ta da!" She said with her arms in the air

Michael two continued decorating around Fubuki's apartment. Michael hung the lights around in the living room after finally getting them untangled. With a sigh of relief, Michael began helping Fubuki decorate the tree. She was humming Christmas Carols the whole time. She must love this holiday because she was in such a good mood, evident by her festive Santa hat.

When Michael came to the end of decorating the tree, neither of Michael could reach the top to place the star. So Fubuki did the most sensical thing and jumped on Michael's back and wouldn't let go until Michael put her on his shoulders. Eventually Michael had to give because Michael can never beat her in a battle of stubbornness. So while Michael held her on his shoulders, she put the star on top and laughed triumphantly.

Michael joked with her by swaying her back and forth to give off the impression she was going to fall down. She giggled and began to smack the top of Michaelr head. Eventually Michael did lose grip of her and she fell off his shoulders with a yelp, making a thud as she hit the hard floor. Somehow Michael managed to hold back his laughs and apologize. She scowled at Michael then punched his arm. Michael could only hug her and apologize again until she accepted it and hugged Michael back. The two of Michael spent the rest of the night watching a bunch of classic movies together on the couch with Rover being covered with a blanket.

Days later, as Christmas soon approached, Fubuki's anticipation never subsided. In fact, it even increased the more she saw all the lights, snow, presents, and decorations all around City-J.

Michael and her often stayed in on the colder days, snuggling up by the fireplace together, going grocery shopping/occasional dinners, or just to enjoy the holiday ambiance around the Cities. Fubuki was endless fun around this time of year. Fun and tiring. Take her standard amount of energy and excitement on a normal day, and double it for the month of December.

From her constant Christmas Carols around the apartment to her wanting Michael to try on different ugly sweaters to buying more random seasonal knick knacks to just playing in the snow, she kept Michael busy. It was amazing, it was as if just being around the woman took years off his age. Never in a million years would Michael think at 23 he would have a blast playing in the snow, and even had a snowball fight in the middle of the town with Saitama and Tatsumaki. The whole time Michael was always wearing his Spider-man outfit to the outside world was given odd looks as people witnessed a grown couple playing in the snow.
