12 Days of BSD

The Rigged Secret Santa

It was a month before Christmas when a group of friends decided to get together in a college cafe. They were all seated around a table as they discussed ideas on what to do for Christmas.

An average looking young man with ashen gray hair, longer on the right side walked up to the group and slowly placed the food that each person had ordered in front of them. He was more than just the server working at the cafe, he also belonged to this particular group of friends. He had always wanted to do a secret exchange so he thought this was the perfect opportunity.

"Why don't we do a secret santa?"

As he continued to place his friends' orders down he realized that one of his friends was missing.

"Where's Chuuya?" He asked Dazai, his childhood best friend, as he always seemed to know where the frustrating, yet adorable slug was. Dazai just gave him a knowing look causing the typically fair complexion to redden ever so slightly around the cheeks. He delicately placed the food down in front of his bandage wearing friend, when he suddenly felt an arm wrap around his shoulders. Turning his head to the side he saw the person he had been crushing on ever since high school, the one he had been asking after, Chuuya.

"Hey there Atsu!" Chuuya grinned as he took a fry from Dazai's plate. The taller male pouted as he smacked the ginger's hand which in turn caused a fight. Watching his friends fight, Atsushi shook his head walking away. As the night went on the group of friends continued to warm up to the tiger lover's idea and eventually decided that's exactly what they were going to do.

The Next Day

"Alright, when I call you, come up and grab a slip of paper. The name on the paper will be who you are going to be getting a gift." Dazai explained as he took the ratty black rondo off of Chuuya's head causing the fierce ginger to smack him. He placed strips of paper into the hat while shaking it. The hat was empty when he called Atsushi up telling the normally shy boy to look away as he didn't want the boy to cheat. When Atsushi had closed his eyes he released a piece of paper from the fold of his hand into the hat as quickly as he could without anyone seeing. Once Atsushi grabbed the piece of paper and looked at the name his eyes widened and his cheeks became flushed with pink. He walked away glancing at Chuuya with a look of affection. Dazai smirked as his plan was going smoothly as he slipped one more piece of paper into the hat as he called the slug up.

Chuuya grumbled as he grabbed his secret santa and snatched his hat away knowing the shithead Dazai already had his slip. He put the hat back onto his head before he glanced at the small white paper. He put on a poker face as he saw the name 'Atsushi', peaking at the younger boy that was talking to the Tanizaki siblings. Out the corner of the red head's eye he could see a smug grin on Dazai's face. He sighed as he said bye to the group before heading over to his sexy red motorcycle. He revved the engine before taking off down the road.

Making sure Chuuya had left Atsushi walked over to his best friend. He nervously fidgeted as he asked if Dazai would take him to pick up the gift he had already gotten Chuuya. Atsushi a couple months ago had gotten his hands on a limited edition vinyl that Chuuya had been looking for for years. It was perfect that he had gotten Chuuya as his secret santa. Now it wouldn't be awkward that he only got presents for Dazai and the hat loving male.

Thankfully Dazai didn't tease him too much when he picked up the gift from the seller. He couldn't wait to see Chuuya's face when he saw the gift. Once he had gotten home he decided to go ahead and wrap the present so there wasn't a chance of the redhead accidentally opening it.

Chuuya ended up getting to the mall about 30 minutes later, freaking out on the inside as he had no clue what to give his high school crush. He could always ask Atsushi's shitty best friend but he didn't want the shithead to make fun of him again. He sighed as he looked through the mall's stores looking for something that was perfect for Atsu. He had spent hours trying to find something perfect but couldn't find anything. He grunted as he took his hat off running his hand through his hair. He was about to give up but caught something flash in the corner of his eye. He had never turned so quickly in his life. He walked up to the store window to see a white tiger pendant encrusted with black and white crystals on a leather necklace. It was perfect. He ran into the store to walk up to one of the salesmen.

He walked out with a smirk as he was able to get the gift for a steal as he convinced the salesman to lower the price by half. He placed the velvet box into his pocket before he hopped onto his motorcycle. He smiled thinking about the reaction that Atsushi will have to seeing the necklace.

Christmas Eve

It was the night of Christmas Eve when the group of friends hosted a party to exchange their secret santas. Throughout the night gifts were exchanged between friends all except for two people who fidgeted nervously one more than the other. Atsushi stayed next to his tall brunette friend casually glancing at the ginger that was sitting at the bartop drinking a glass of wine. He had yet to give Chuuya the gift he had searched everywhere for. He was trying to work up the nerve to approach the physics major. He tried to ignore Dazai as he kept poking fun at him.

"Come on Atsushi!~ Just go up to him." Dazai grinned as he saw his best friend flush red. His plan was working perfectly, well almost perfectly he just needed Atsushi to man up and go over to the chibi. He sighed when the photography major didn't move an inch. Looks like he would have to move things along himself. He grabbed Atsushi's arm and the gift and dragged him over to the chibi.

Atsushi tried to get free on the grip on his arms as he was dragged. Once they were in front of the short man Atsushi froze with wide eyes. Chuuya turned to look at them both with an eyebrow raised. Dazai pushed Atsushi into the older man causing the ashen grey haired male to stumble into Chuuya's arms. The bandage freak ran off yelling about how his work was done. It confused Atsushi but caused Chuuya to scowl. Chuuya definitely knew then Dazai was the reason for him getting Atsushi for his secret santa.

"Are you alright Atsu?" He could see Atsushi's face flush a bright red as he moved back. As he looked over his crush he thought this would be the perfect opportunity to give the taller male his gift.

"Y-yeah I am okay." He stepped back but almost tripped over the gift bag that Dazai left by him. He stumbled before righting himself. He fidgeted with his christmas sweater trying to figure out how to give his gift. He was startled when a hand shoved a wrapped box into his face. He went cross eyed as the present was so close to his face. He brought his hand up to grab the present still staring at it. He looked up to see the physics major rubbing the back of his head with a slightly flush to his face.

"Go ahead and open it." Chuuya gestured with his other hand to have the other open it. Atsushi glanced back at the gift before ripping apart the wrapping paper. The ashen haired male opened the jewelry box and gasped. He pulled out the necklace and stared at it with wide eyes.

"It's beautiful!" Atsushi couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the pendant. It looked expensive as hell, it made the young man nervous to wear it. Still he would treasure it as it came from the love of his life. He tried to put the necklace on but struggled. He saw Chuuya move behind him and take over. He held back a shiver when soft hands brushed against his neck. Once Chuuya was back in front of him Atsushi thanked him repeatedly. He suddenly remembered that he had yet to give Chuuya the gift he got him. He picked up the present and held it out to Chuuya.

"Here this is for you." Chuuya grabbed the bag and started to take the tissue paper out. He pulled out the vinyl record and his eyes widened. There was no way Atsushi was able to find the one thing he had been searching for. The very thing he had always wanted since it came out. He took in the limited edition record before realizing it was signed by Nirvana. Holy shit how did Atsushi even find this. He put the gift down and stepped up to Atsushi.

Atsushi's eyes widened as he was pulled down into a kiss. He was not expecting this type of reaction. He stood there in shock as Chuuya pulled away. He couldn't help but gape at the older male. After a while he could see Chuuya look down with what seemed disappointment this caused him to snap out of it. He wrapped his arms around Chuuya's neck and brought him back into a kiss. They stayed like that until they could hear cheering around them. Both of them had flushed red as they grinned at each other.

"Merry Christmas Chuuya. Thank you for the gift."

"Merry Christmas Atsushi. And thank you for that amazing gift granted it isn't as good as the one in my arms right now." Chuuya smirked as he watched Atsushi try to hide his face. He had a feeling that there are going to be many more holidays that are going to be spent in each other's arms.

From a far Dazai grinned as he watched his best friend and rival exchange gifts. He yelled out causing everyone to glance at the new couple. Everyone was celebrating as finally those two had gotten together after years of dancing around each other. He saw Atsushi glance around with a flush on his face before meeting Dazai's eyes. Dazai had never seen Atsushi so happy before it made him happy to see his friend have the happiness he deserved.
