Christmas Memories

You would have thought that this was your first Christmas together with Izaya Orihara, but you're wrong. You've spent Christmas with Izaya-chan before in college before; you just don't remember it. Your true first Christmas occurred a year earlier, when you and Izaya-chan were still in college together.

At that time, winter break was in session, and the majority of the student population on the campus was spending their time with their family at home. However, you decided to stay in the college dorms and study for some upcoming exams. You haven't been exactly friendly with your family, and after all these years of wanting to move away from them, there's no reason to rush home.

At that time, Izaya-chan was packing his bags when he noticed that you were still in your dorm.

"You're not going home?" Izaya-chan asked.

"No, I'm going to stay here and study," You replied.

"Eh, that's how you're going to spend your winter break?!" Izaya-chan exclaimed.

You looked up from your book. "Yeah, my family would probably enjoy their Christmas alone this year, just like last year."

A mysterious expression appeared on Izaya's face. "Oh, is that so?" Izaya-chan flung his bag inside your room.  "Well, excuse me, but I'll be staying with you this winter break!"

"What..." You simply stared as Izaya intruded your territory. "Izaya, go home, you're drunk."

"Me? Drunk? No, not yet, at least," Izaya-chan replied.

"I SAID GO HOME!" You exclaimed as you flung the textbook you were studying across the room. It nearly missed Izaya.

"Eh? Since when have you become like Shizu-chan?"

"Ugh... Well, if you insist on staying, we might as well study together. However, I am not sleeping on the same bed as you. Go sleep in your own room."

Izaya-chan jumped onto your bed. "Eh?! Why not?" He whined.

"W-Well, it's not right for a guy and a girl to be together in a room..." You stammered.

Izaya-chan walked up to you with a serious expression and whispered into your ear. "I know that. We took sex ed together."

You shuddered and pushed him away. "Go home."

"I just got here!" Izaya's childish expression returned.

You sighed. "Make yourself comfortable for now. You have to return to your room by 10pm, though."

"Okay~" Izaya-chan walked up to the fridge. He peered into the fridge, and when he spotted a refreshment, he pulled the bottle out.

You picked up your textbook and continued to work on your studies. You motioned Izaya over and pointed to the chapter you're on. "Can you help me with this?"

Izaya poured the drink into a cup and drank it. "Mhmm... Sure.... I doubt you need the help, though."

You blushed. You might be an advanced student, and you might have extraordinary scores, but you're still human, and you need as much help as the next kid.

Izaya waved the thought away. "Yeah, I'll help you."

He pulled your notebook closer to him and wrote down some tips and information about the mathematical concept you're working on. While Izaya was instructing you, you got your hand on the bottle and decided to take a sip. At that time, Izaya had finally finished his lecture and had just noticed that you're drinking the refreshment he had pulled from the fridge.

"WAIT, DON'T DRINK THAT," Izaya exclaimed.

But by the time he said that, it was already too late. You fainted on the spot from the smell and bitter taste of alcohol.

When you were sleeping on your desk, Izaya-chan quickly erased all evidence of his presence in your room.

"Nothing happened here... I totally didn't make anyone faint..." He thought.

With that, he ran out of the room.

You woke up the next day around 7am.

"Mhm... It's still so early..." You murmurred.

Then, you remembered that Izaya-chan visited yesterday, and you suddenly snapped into focus.

"Where's Izaya-chan?"

You viewed your surroundings and spotted no signs of Izaya's visit. You shrugged and decided to make some breakfast to eat while you study. However, when you opened your notebook, you recognized the girly handwriting inside. You have no idea what happened the previous night, but you're 100% sure it had occurred. Not to mention that you're now confident enough to pass the exams.

"Let's pass the exams together!~"

Those were the words written in the girly handwriting.

You smiled, pulled out your cell phone, and dialed Izaya's number.

"Let's study together," You said.
