For as long as she could remember, she and Toru would go out together the week before Christmas. They'd work together to pick out Christmas gifts for their friends and family, before walking through a local park looking at the Christmas lights. It was like their own little tradition and she looked forward to it every year as the weather began to chill and the days got shorter.

And this year was no different. After spending the first couple of days being back in Japan catching up with friends and family, she and Toru agreed it was time for their yearly shopping trip. They spent hours going from store to store picking out various gifts while just enjoying being in each other's company.

As the sky began to darken, the two paused in their shopping to get a warm drink and sit for a few minutes. "Why don't we split up for a little while and go find gifts for each other?" Toru said as he sat next to Y/n inside the small coffee shop.

Thinking for a second, Y/n nodded her head. "That sounds like a good idea. We meet back here in what half and hour?" She asked, already thinking of what to buy for the professional setter.

After a quick agreement and parting kiss, the two went separate ways looking for the perfect gift for their partner.

Y/n made her way towards a high end sporting goods store, she was going to get him a new pair of knee pads he had been talking about getting himself for years. After he injured himself in high school, he talked about getting some knee pads that offered him some support so as to not reinjure his knee. Unfortunately he was so focused on playing volleyball for the past few years that he kept forgetting, and as a result he had recently started mentioning that the old injury was starting to flare up. Being the loving girlfriend she is, Y/n decided it was the perfect gift. Both thoughtful and practical.

After purchasing the gift, Y/n took the last fifteen minutes to pick a couple more small things before heading back to the coffee shop. When she arrived, she noticed that Toru still hadn't returned. She decided he was probably still looking for a perfect gift, so she ordered a hot chocolate and sat at one of the tables waiting for her boyfriend to return.

Another twenty minutes passed before she saw the messy brown hair of the athlete walking into the Coffee shop. Waving him over, Y/n couldn't help but notice he still had exactly the same number of bags as when they split ways.

Raising an eyebrow, she couldn't help but question him. "So what took so long? I don't see any new bags with you." She asked as he sat down at the table.

Toru laughed before smirking, "I couldn't exactly walk in here with a bag telling you where I got your gift, now could I? Besides, I just tucked your gift in one of these bags and I'll hide it when we get home." He said as if it was the most obvious thing.

"You have a point. Anyway, should we head home and drop this stuff off before going to look at the lights?" She asked, gesturing to the small pile of bags.

Nodding in response, Toru stood up grabbing the majority of their shopping bags, before offering his arm to Y/n as she stood up. They quickly made their way out of the mall, loading their bags into the car Toru had insisted on renting, before heading back to Toru's family home. When they arrived they quickly took the bags of presents up to Toru's room where they were staying during their visit.
