Your POV

There was only a few more weeks till Haru and the rest of the swim team's competition. Also, it was the Christmas season! We were on school break but I still had to work. I saved up to buy everyone gifts, including the soon-to-be, new edition to my family. It was kind of a slow day at work then I noticed Haru walk in. I wanted to call him but that would be unprofessional. It's a sports store for goodness sake, who the hell cares?
He walked over to the swimsuit isle, of course, and I decided to close my till and "help him out."
He was staring at... more black and purple trunks...
"You know it's good to try different things." I smiled, "fixing" a rack with clothes on it.
"They are different."
"Yeah, barely..."
"Shouldn't you be working?" He picked out a really nice swimsuit, with a very pleased expression on his face.
"I am, by helping you out."
"Mhm..." He lifted a price tag to check the price and his slight happiness immediately disappeared.
At least I know what I'm getting him for Christmas. I thought to myself.
His hands moved through the racks, still looking for the right pair of trunks. I picked one up and Haru's eye darted over to it immediately.
"(Y/n), let me see that right now."
"What?"
"Hand it over?"
Perfect, I know what he wants for Christmas now, "No can do, Haru-chan." I smirked.
"Why not?!"
"Because..."
Because?..."
"I want it." I said cheerfully and pulled out a random pair from the rack, "Take these." I throw it in his arms. "You'll fit better in this."
His mouth was slightly open, his ocean blue eyes never left me. It was like he saw a ghost.
I blew him a fake kiss in a teasing way and walked back to my till, paid for the outfit and put it in my work locker. I'm sure he'll be happy with this gift.
Suddenly I was taken out of my thoughts by large hands slapping against the counter. I lifted my head to see Sosuke, "Oh, hey So-"
"What the hell was that?" His voice boomed.
I was the only one at the check out counter but some of my coworkers and even my manager looked over. She started to walk over to us.
I was taken back by the ferocity in his voice, "What do you mean?" I asked, kind of timidly.
"Excuse me, is everything all ri-" My manager was gazing as Sosuke and began to blush, "Mr. Yamazaki, it's a pleasure to have you in our store. Is there any way I can assist you today?"
"Can I just borrow her for a minute."
"Y-yes, of course."
"Thanks."
I stepped out from the counter and followed him outside to a quiet alley (safe from gangs and violence of course)
"So, answer my question." He demanded.
"I don't even know what you're talking about." His new side began to scare me...
"I saw you flirt with Nanase."
Flirt with Haru? "What?"
"Don't play innocent." He slapped his hand on the wall, next to my ear, which made me jump a little.
"Y-you mean when I was helping him."
"No. When you were walking away, you blew that nerd a kiss."
I began to laugh, "Ohhh haha, it wasn't even a real kiss."
He wasn't laughing, "I don't fucking care. You're my fiancée, remember that. I don't give a shit what relationship you had to that guy."
"I-I'm sorry."
"Now stop hanging around him, I don't want to have to tell you again."
"What!? No, he's my best friend. I can't stop hanging out with him out of no where."
"You can and you will, now I have to go." He lowered his face to my level and planted a rotten kiss on my lips. "See you later, and remember what I said."
When he exited the alley I couldn't think straight, I didn't know if I should cry or yell...
I walked back into the store and watched Haru pay for his new things. My heart ached looking at him... But there was this feeling in my gut that was telling me I need to be careful....

Haru's POV

Ugh, how dare she... I decided to go with one that wasn't perfect but it was okay. I couldn't believe that she actually did that though. She knew I wanted that swimsuit but I bet you anything she's gonna give it to that piece of shit of a boyfriend. The thought of it all made me angry, so I quickly stormed up to the check out counter, paid for my things and left the store. I caught a glimpse of (y/n), who had a look terror and sadness in her eyes all at the same time. I don't even think she noticed me. I walked to my car and placed my new purchase in the trunk. I looked to the right and I saw a bag from a jewelry store... It was a present that I bought for (y/n). A rose gold heart necklace with small ruby pieces inside of a silver rose. I thought it was kind of romantic but I knew it would suit her so well. Or it would've...
I closed the trunk, got in my car and drove home.

~ Christmas Day ~

Your POV

Sosuke invited my family over to his house and we decided to go. It was a little weird because usually we spent it at our house and then would visit the Nanase's to exchange gifts.
Apparently it was going to be a big Christmas party so once again, we had to dress up.
In the morning we opened our presents as a family. I got clothes, perfume, accessories and a new laptop. I gave my parents clothes, and jewelry. My mom made pancakes, sausages and eggs and we ate, while listening to Christmas music.
Ding dong.
"I'll get it!" I excused myself from the table.
I opened the door to reveal Haru, holding a huge bag in his hands.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey." He replied. "Uh, here are the presents. My parents are on vacation but I'm sure you guys already know so they left the presents with me."
"Thanks. Wanna come in?"
"I guess." He stepped inside and placed the gifts down.
"Let me go get your gifts."
"Alright."
I went into the kitchen by the tree and picked up the gifts for the Nanase's.
"Who is it?" My mom asked.
"Haru." I replied, went back to the front door and gave him the presents. "Enjoy, have a great Christmas Haru-chan." I gave him a quick hug and opened the door for him.
"See ya." He said, exiting.

It was time for the party.
I wore a half red half white strapless dress. White at the top with sparkles, red and flowed at the bottom. I put my hair in a bun and added a red headband. Finally, I paired it with burgundy Mary Jane heels, and a pair of sterling silver earrings.

We got to the gates of the Yamazaki's house by 7 o'clock. There were guards at the gate with a guest list. My dad drove up beside them and the tall one asked, "Name?"
"(L/n)."
"Oh you're the guests of honour, please head in." The shorter one said.
I was confused, "Guests of honour?" I asked.
"Well, considering you will be the next Mrs. Yamazaki I guess it makes sense." My mom said with a glint of joy in her eyes.
As we drove in I kept staring at the amazing house. It was massive. The outside had a cobblestone path and a fountain in the centre, the grass was covered in a clean layer of snow and the driveway was shovelled, the mansion itself was three stories, it had a large balcony in the centre, fancy windows and it was just stunning. But the inside was even better. There were so many rooms, long hall ways, expensive paintings and statues and expensive furniture. I'm guessing the house was decorated by a professional interior designer.
We were in the ballroom and I was clung to Sosuke's side. He walked around, showing me off to various people. The whole night was filled with fancy food, classical ballroom dancing, and introductions to strangers.
"(Y/n), follow me." Sosuke demanded.
"Okay." As if I had a choice...
He guided me to that balcony I saw when we first entered. It was cold outside but he gave me his jacket.
"Turn around and close your eyes."
I turned and did as he asked.
I heard him shuffle through his pocket, then I felt his hands circle around my head and something cool go around my neck.
"Okay, open."
I slowly opened my eyes and I looked down on my chest. There rested around my neck was a beautiful, silver necklace with three diamonds in a line.
"Oh my God it's beautiful!" I turned around and hugged him. "A-are they real?"
"Of course." He smiled.
"Thank you so much!" I kissed him. "Ugh, there's no way I can top this."
He chuckled, "I don't need any gift from you. All I want you to do is listen to me. Follow what I say and we'll be happy."
His words gave me an uneasy feel, "Alright."

Haru's POV

I was at Makoto's house for the night, along with the rest of the swim team.. We opened our presents together and I saved (y/n)'s present for last.
I began to tear the wrapping paper off and I noticed a white box from the store she worked at... Oh no... I took the tape off of the box and slowly opened it.
"Hurry up, Haru. You're taking forever, the anticipation is killing me." Nagisa whined.
There was more tissue covering the actual present. I finally took it off and there it was... the purple swimsuit  from the store.
I was speechless.
"Aw man, more purple trunks." Nagisa complained.
"Shut up Nagisa, they're special to him." Makoto said.
"Are you alright Haru?" Rei asked.
"Yeah." I quietly replied, folding the tissue back over the gift and placing the lid on.
"You don't seem too happy about it." Nagisa said.
"Yeah." They all agreed.
"No guys, I'm fine." I actually felt like shit because I kept her present in my car, thinking that she betrayed me and gave the trunks to Sosuke... I'm so stupid, she would never do something like that. Ugh. But I would definitely be wearing these to competition next month.
