ENNOSHITA CHIKARA: PARTY

***

"Hmm... Ah! Chocolates, yes." I grabbed two packs of chocolates down the sweets aisle inside the grocery store. I was currently on a Christmas shopping spree since I had to create something for the volleyball club's party tomorrow.

I walked down the aisle full of cookies and took out four packs of Graham crackers and crushed Graham crackers to add into the mix. I sighed contentedly then proceeded to the cookie mixtures.

As I headed towards the aisle, I saw a familiar figure making me smile in delight. I approached the figure then hugged it from behind making him tense up.

"Chikara-kun! Are you shopping too?" I asked him as I cuddled on his back. I felt him shift his positions then hugged me back and gave my head a pat.

"Yeah, (F/N)-chan. I'm actually shopping for tomorrow's party," he told me. I broke the hug and beamed at him. "Why don't we go shopping together then?" I offered. He nodded making me leap a bit in joy then took my cart.

"Let's go then!"

I added the cream on top of the Graham crackers slowly in order to even it out properly before adding the chopped peaches on top. I smiled in delight as my refrigerated cake slowly formed piece by piece exciting me.

After a few more rounds, I finally finished making the first batch of cake then proceeded to create the second batch. As I was creating the second batch, I heard my phone go out making me fish out my phone to see a text message from Sawamura.

To: (F/N)
From: Daichi (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑
Subject: Cancelled

Hey there, (F/N)! Sorry on the late update but the party's cancelled since most of the members aren't here especially us third-years!

Sorry!

I stared at the phone blankly then sighed heavily as I did so. I put typed in a reply saying that it was fine before sending it. I dragged myself away from the kitchen and in to the living room before collapsing on the couch and grumbled.

"So much for effort..." I murmured to myself. My phone went out again but this time it was a call. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Ennoshita. I sighed then answered it.

"Hey, Chikara," I spoke through my end. I dunno why I sounded so tired but I guess it's due to the fact that there is no party tomorrow and creating the refrigerated cake was useless.

"Hey there, (F/N). So, about tomorrow..." Ennoshita trailed off from the other side making me chuckle a bit. "I know about tomorrow. It's cancelled, right?"

He sighed heavily from the other line."Yeah. And to think I was about to make daifukus for tomorrow is a huge bummer, really. And, my mother taught me about this foreign dish that I was going to try out for the team and you to taste," he narrated making me chuckle. "You sound so hyped up, Chikara!"

I heard him chuckle from the other line then sigh. "Yeah. Hey, wait a minute! I have an idea!" he suddenly exclaimed making me sit up with the phone still plastered on my ear.

"What is it?"

"Why don't we create our own Christmas party? Just the two of us?"

I blushed. "B-But... Wouldn't that be unfair to the others? I mean---"

"Come on, (F/N)! This'll only happen once in a year," he insisted. "Besides, I want to spend my Christmas party with the person I've come to love," he told me, reddening me more.

"S-Stop that, it's embarassing," I mumbled making him laugh out. I chuckled at his laughter then sighed. "Okay then, Chikara. Tomorrow at 6:00PM?" I asked him.

"Sure thing, (F/N). I can't wait," he told me making me laugh. He was such a huge dork.

"Wait for it, Chikara. It's already tomorrow."

The time of the party drew near. I prepared the plates and utensils then brought out the two batches of cake. Living alone was nice; it wasn't much of a hassle since I know where things go and I know how to work on my own. But it was hard sustaining a living since I had to work everyday till today.

But, for the sake of the mini-party, I took a day-off.

The doorbell rang twice as I smoothened out my (F/C)red sweater. I patted my cheeks for a bit then walked to the door and opened it revealing Ennoshita in a blue sweater patterened with a variety of snowflakes and dark jeans with sneaks. He was also wearing a white scarf around his neck.

"Chikara-kun, welcome!" I greeted then made space for him to enter. He smiled then leaned forward to plant a kiss on my forehead making me blush bright red.

"Thanks for having me, (F/N). Especially when my parents are away for the day," he told me. I smiled at him and hugged him tightly then buried my face on his chest, inhaling his cologne in the process. "No problem, Chikara-kun. You're always welcome here!" I looked at the stuff in his hand and saw him holding two medium-sized Tupperwares.

"Is that the daifuku and the foreign dish that you were talking about?" I asked him. He nodded in response then headed to the kitchen excitedly then opened the containers. I saw the mouth-watering daifuku still steaming, the bean-paste waiting to burst out from inside the delicacy.

"Looks... Delicious," I told him making him smile. He then opened the second container revealing a favorite of mine when I still lived abroad.

Carbonara.

"Uwooohh! C-Carbonara! F-For real?!" I shakily asked him. He nodded happily making me hug him tightly and jump around. "Thank you so so so much, Chikara! This is like... The best Christmas gift ever!" I told him.

He chuckled then ruffled my hair. "Why so, (F/N)?" he asked me. I looked up and smiled. "Because this came from you and this is my favorite food of all time!" I exclaimed then settled myself on the table beside him.

"Oh, wait!" I fished out my phone out of my pocket. "Let's take a picture of this moment!" I told him. I made him hold his carbonara again then settled myself beside him.

"Say 'carbonara', (F/N)," he insisted. I giggled then posed for the camera as we both exclaimed:

"Carbonara!"

Snap!

I dislike parties, but this is the best party yet. Because I'm with him, and he's with me.

And that's just fine.
