I'm Not Giving Up On You [Tadashi Hamada X OC] [COMPLETED]

The Christmas Swag Meister

Tadashi's POV

I secure the last of the Christmas baubles to my sweater, grin, and kick open the door to our room. Inside, Hiro is lying on his bed looking through his early yearbook - graduating at Christmas years ahead of everyone else must be odd.

Hiro glances up as I enter, and immediately he can't contain his laughter. I'm wearing a pair of old shades with the lenses poked out, an elf hat with knitted ears, an ugly Christmas sweater with tinsel and baubles attached, and short shorts I found in the charity shop pile. And yes, I am hilariously barefoot and exposing my weird big toes that look like tiny alien heads.
I'm acting like I've almost forgotten I haven't seen Cherry since November.

"Tadashi," he gasps, "what are you doing?"
I crouch before jumping and spreading my arms and posing like Superman. "I am the Christmas Swag Meister, and you have to do what I say. Now, dance with me!" And with that I start jumping around and wiggling my hips to nonexistent music in my head whilst Hiro rolls on his bed laughing hysterically.
I boogie on over to him and pull him up until he's jumping round with me, both of us being hit by tinsel and baubles and me shouting that these shorts are way too tight.

And then Cherry walks through the open door!

Cherry's POV

I knock on the door and Aunt Cass comes down to the cafe and lets me in, smiling at me as if I were part of the family. I smile politely back, as if she were a stranger.

"Hey there Cherry. The boys are in their room, you can go up," she says, and I thank her and walk up as best I can with the pile of books I'm holding. Yes, I'm here to work, but I'm also here to whoop Tadashi's ass until he's sorry for leaving me.

As I begin the last flight of stairs I more clearly hear two male voices laughing and shouting, and I finally get to the door...

And see Tadashi in stupid clothing and Hiro dancing madly to nonexistent music, laughing about Tadashi's pants!

I stop and stare, and as they spin about Hiro spots me at the doorframe and stops Tadashi in his tracks. Tadashi laughs as he stops, but his laughter fades as he sees me and he covers his extremely tight crotch with his hands.

I shake my head dissaprovingly. What are they doing? It's time for work, not play. Who cares if it's Christmas? And how dare he be happy! I need my application and knowledge to be refined until I can apply in spring, and he needs to know the consequences of his actions!
"Glad to see you're taking your teaching seriously Tadashi," I scorn and the older Hamada bites his lip in guilt. Good; be guilty.
"Hey Cherry!" Hiro lets go of Tadashi's hanging hands and bounds up to me. "I haven't seen you in forever! We were just messing about. Can you join us this time?"
I'm about to refuse and tell him that I came over here to do my work and I have no time, but he does what I've learned nobody is immune to - the Hamada puppy eyes.

"Okay, okay, fine, I'll play your silly games," I relent.
Hiro whoops and pulls me to Tadashi. He slips my hand into Tadashi's and I smirk slightly at the sight of Tadashi being astounded at his brother's audacity. To add insult to injury I clearly look him up and down in his loud gaudy getup, and ask brusquely, "So what are you right now?"
He blushes - it's very cute, but don't tell anyone I said that - and mumbles, "I'm the Christmas Swag Meister."

I can't contain it this time. I laugh - right in his face!

Tadashi's eyes widen but he starts gradually laughing at himself as well, and Hiro joins in. Hiro slots his hands into both our remaining ones and starts jumping up and down, compelling us to start jumping and moving along with him.
Soon we're all wiggling our hips and laughing hysterically at each other's silly faces because we're all nerds who haven't played games like this in years. I haven't played like this in years!
