It is now the month of December. You know what that means? It means Christmas, hence the Christmas Sinon (Yes, I know the last chapter I posted was also in December but I put in the last art before December started so I'm excused). But it also means non-stop Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You played in shopping malls all over the world.

You wake up the next morning as groggily as ever. You slowly crawl out of bed and make your way to the kitchen to make yourself some breakfast. As you're munching down, you take a peek at your phone and check the time. Sunday, June 14th, 10:17 pm. You read over the day a bit. Wasn't I supposed to do something today? You rack your head to try and grasp the memory that escaped you. After a few seconds, it eventually returns to your mind. Your date with Shino.

Your nerves start kicking in. All of last night was spent playing videogames so they didn't really come up. But now, because you're wide awake, you start to panic. You've never gone on a date before, so everything is new to you. A million thoughts rush into your head. What if she doesn't show? What if she doesn't like the food? What if I forget my wallet? What if my dreams become a reality and I walk into the restaurant with no pants on?

You start taking deep breaths to calm yourself down. I still have time. I can plan everything out. The food, the money, the clothes... Ah! I don't have any fancy clothes! You pick up your phone and scroll into your contacts finding someone in particular. You find it and click the name.

You: Hey dad. I don't have a suit. Please tell me u have one I can use?

Your dad replies in an instant.

Dad: Why do you need a suit?
Dad: Wait
Dad: I know
Dad: You're going out on a date right? That's my boy!

You roll your eyes. Your dad always was the perceptive type, like Shino. Something tells you they would get along if they were ever to meet. Instead of denying it, you just explain the situation to him.

You: Something like that. Akira is setting me up with someone but they don't know its a date
Dad: That Akira. Not the sharpest tool in the shed but definitely the most caring when it comes to friends and family
Dad: Knowing him, he wants you to hook him up with someone after, right?
You: Yep
Dad: Thought so
Dad: Me and your mom are at work right now, but you can use the spare key to get in. Use one of my suits
You: Thanks dad
Dad: Don't thank me yet. Whenever you're done, I want you to come over and explain everything about what happened to me and your mom. No suit otherwise
You: Fine. Its a deal

Explaining how you met Shino to your parents might be a bit awkward and confusing, but you'll cross that bridge when you come to it. You quickly wolf down the rest of your breakfast and focus on the day ahead of you.

It was nearing 1 pm. You did a bit of research on the internet to help you plan. You grab your wallet and set ¥220,000 in it, plus an extra ¥2,000 for the taxi. You exit your house after, making sure to lock the door. You hop in a taxi you called prior and told the driver to take you into Ginza.

You pay him and leave the vehicle. You then proceed to walk down the road a bit farther until you enter a shop named Sirena Azzurro. There you are met with hundreds of different types of jewelry. Yes, jewelry. You decided to buy a necklace for Shino.

You scan through the items, each shoving in your face the fact that jewelry is really expensive! Eventually, you find a necklace that closely resembles the color of Sinon's hair and eyes. It hung on a thin silver chain and was connected to a silver casing surrounding the turquoise jewel. You check the price range and luckily enough it's within ¥10,000. You purchase the necklace and leave the shop.
