Naoto Shirogane x Shy!Male!Reader (P4)

After a long time of droning on, Ms. Kashiwagi was interrupted by the bell.

"Well, I'll see you all after winter break." She said, seemingly disappointed. "Oh, and just to let you know that I don't accept secondhand gifts, mmkay?"

Nobody paid her much mind, instead turning around to speak go their friends or get ready to leave. Yosuke groaned.

"She's not seriously expecting us to buy her something, is she?!" He asked. 

You gave a brief chuckle in reply. "Seems like it..."

Students left the room, the classroom becoming more sparse. As a couple more left to go home, three more entered.

"Hiya, senpai's!" Rise greeted cheerfully, eyes bright. "Huh? What's wrong?"

Yosuke's expression was pained. "Nothing. Anyway, what are you guys doing here?"

"Aren't we always here? Besides, I didn't want my senpai's getting lonely." Rise giggled to herself.

"Speaking of being lonely, how are you guys spending Christmas?" Chie questioned, voice light.

Kanji was visibly affected by her words. "What'dya mean by that?!"

Raising her hands in defense, she shook her head. "Well I mean, it's not like you have girlfriends, y'know?"

"What about you?" Yosuke interjected, frowning.

"I totally have someone to spend time with, hahah, ha, ha..." She trailed off. "Okay, fine. I don't either."

Another groan left Yosuke's mouth. "We're hopeless human beings. Yukiko, you wouldn't happen to be free, would you...?"

"I'm helping out at the inn. It gets quite busy during this time of year. Probably because of our indoor hot spring!" Yukiko replied, as if advertising it.

"Should have expected that..." Yosuke grumbled. "What about you, bro?"

His question was directed at you, but it fell on deaf ears. When he heard no response, he looked at you to see your gaze on someone else. Yosuke was a little dense, but he could put two and two together.

"Oho, seems like you do."

You snapped out of your trance due to his teasing tone.  "Huh? A-Are you talking to me?" 

Yosuke smirked slightly. "It's nothin'. So, wanna go to Junes?"

 "Um, sure..." You trailed off, unsure of his plan. Chie frowned. 

"Nothing's really changed, huh...? Well, I guess it's fine."

After making your way to Junes' food court, the group's chat continued. You couldn't help but find it a little hard to focus though, what with a certain cap-wearing girl sitting adjacent to you. 

Yosuke appeared with a tray, a variety of warm drinks placed on top. Each person in the group took it with gratefulness, the liquid a comfort from the freezing temperatures. 

"I think it's a little sad that we don't have anything to do. Shouldn't high school students do fun stuff?" Rise asked to herself with a pout.

Kanji shrugged. "It's not that a big deal, is it?"

"Yeah it is! You wouldn't get it Moronji." Rise replied, Kanji clicking his tongue at the less-than-thoughtful nickname. "I wish Yu-senpai was here."

"Yeah..." Yosuke agreed, expression pained slightly. "But hey, why don't we do something?"

Yukiko blinked. "Like what?"
