PHANTASTICALL CHRISTMAS

For @DontCallMeLucy !! Merry Christmas !! I'm sorry if this is really bad but I hope you like it even a bit hoho !!

❆

It was almost Christmas eve and little snowflakes were falling from the sky. I didn't mind at all, it was good to feel that change of the weather since I loved winter.

I wish I could say the same for Christmas too. Not that I didn't appreciate my few days of holidays but it was a bit pathetic to be alone those days when everyone around you is happier than ever.

But the weird thing was that I wanted to watch all this happines and those beautiful emotions around me. Let alone that since my dog, Rosé, had seen all those snowflakes she had started barking of happiness and hopping here and there, calling me to take her for a walk.

During our walk I decided to get a hot chocolate since i loved it. It was freezing but the chocolate kept my insides warm. And all this Christmas atmosphaire could always melt my heart. Snowflakes weren't falling anymore but they would as soon as possible. I hadn't realised that tears had started falling from my eyes. They were few at first but after a while they blurred my vision so i took Rosé in my hug and sat on a bench. Luckily for me it wasn't wet at all because its location was under a shed.

I could go home but all those tears made it an obstacle. I decided to stay there a little longer.

Christmas is very beautiful here in Japan. And all this beautifulness always made me melancholic and pretty nostalgic. All my friends were with their families in their hometowns and since the tickets are too expensive for me to go back in england that i come from, i spend christmas here. Alone. I don't blame anyone, after all it was my decision to come and work here even though the situation would be too difficult and i would have no back up support at all. I have my friends on the one hand but now they are not here so I guess i'm all alone once again.

"Look Phil, have you seen a more beautiful dog than this?" A really tall guy with brown curly hair told to another raven haired who was right next to him pointing his eyes at Rosé.

I wiped away my tears quickly so that I wouldn't ruin their happy mood. They seemed really excited to be here. Slowly, they approached me and I released Rosé from my hug. As soon as I did that she started hopping here and there smelling the strangers and inviting them to play with her. The younger -as i supposed- started petting her and I have to admit, the sight of this lightened up my sad day.

"Are you here to spend the holidays too? You don't look like people here." The raven haired spoke with a bright smile across his face. It was the most sincere smile I had seen the last few months. His eyes even rinkled when he smiled.

"You guessed right i'm from England, but i'm not here for holidays. It's just that I work here and I can't go back to my hometown for Christmas so i spend it here. But i don't complain at all." I said more trying to convince myself. "Where are you coming from by the way?" I asked so that I could change the topic.

"We are from England too. We had once come here and we adored this place so we decided to come back at Christmas which is our favourite holiday. I'm Phil by the way and this is Dan." He finished taking a glance at his friend who seemed to have fallen in love with Rosé.

"I'm Lucy, nice to meet you." I said trying to smile at him.

"You can't spend Christmas holidays all alone." Dan spoke. I hadn't realised that he was listening to our little conversation because he looked too devoted to my dog. I hoped neither him nor Phil would comment that because I didn't want to cry or be sad in front of them about such a stupid matter.
