the next days are pretty normal, besides the fact oikawa is here for every second of them. we mainly got into the christmas mood, as it's now the morning before christmas eve, wednesday the 23rd.
oikawa and i are now getting ready to go to the mall with tsutomu, since he needs to get last minute christmas gifts for the boys' parents, i guess. i genuinely still have no idea what to get the boys, i may just do gift cards.
after getting ready, we head to the mall, tsutomu heading off to wherever he needs to go and leaving oikawa and i with his other credit card to get stuff if we need to.
we walk around the mall for a while before i decide to go to the manga store, because where else would i be? i do plan on visiting terushima as well, to give him his gift.
"chinami-chan, what's your favorite anime?" oikawa questions as i look down the bookshelf of manga.
"attack on titan."
"i see, i see.. any.. movies?"
"why're you asking?"
"i'm just curious! you never tell me stuff about you."
i look up to oikawa after picking up a volume of demon slayer. "i don't know off the top of my head."
"i can wait." oikawa puts his hands in his sweatpant pockets. i get two volumes of demon slayer and go over to the cash register to pay for them.
we then go to a store carrying any gift card you can think of. i get each of the boys, including terushima, a 5000 yen prepaid card. boys are too difficult to shop for, i don't want to stress myself out while trying to think of stuff for them any longer.
i force oikawa to come with me to the piercing shop to visit terushima.
"nami! oikawa'!" terushima comes around from behind the front desk and embraces me with a hug, squishing my face into his chest.
"here, merry christmas." i hold one of the cards to him after pulling away from the hug.
"it's not christmas yet, silly!"
"no shit, i won't be able to bring it on christmas."
"okay," terushima pouts, "you already know what you're getting from me!"
i nod. terushima always lets me get a free piercing for my birthday and christmas because he's too lazy to do christmas shopping. but honestly, relatable.
"i like howl's moving castle." i say as we walk out of the piercing shop.
"really?! that's great~" oikawa lets out a sigh of relief.
"why?"
"just wondering~~"
weird.
i receive a text from tsutomu, it reading for us to meet him at the parking lot when we're done. leaving the piercing shop, we go to the parking lot, and back to my house.
- time skip -> christmas eve night -
the boys are over my house, once again. and sleeping over, once again.
"chinami-chan, what plans do you have tomorrow?" oikawa questions as we finish watching home alone 3.
"um, i don't kn-"
"i think you five should head downtown, to see the christmas lights before the season ends." tsutomu butts in while looking out the door that leads outside, gazing at the snow filled backyard. oikawa looks over to tsutomu in excitement.
"we should! i was going to ask if we could go anyway-" oikawa says while looking back to me.
"i'm down for whatever." mattsun says.
"same!" makki exclaims in agreement. we all look to iwaizumi. he simply nods, slowly. well, i guess i do know what plans i have tomorrow then.
tsutomu never, ever, lets me open a gift on christmas eve. which isn't fair- because he gave the boys a gift from him and sayaka.
so i stay up until midnight, the others going to sleep so 'time goes by faster.'
tsutomu's rule is that i can open a gift once the clock hits midnight, then the rest of them when i actually wake up. so this is what i do every year. and that time has now come.
"i'm guessing you want your birthday and christmas gift?" tsutomu questions from behind the couch. i nod and get up from the couch.
"what is it?" i question.
"well, we have to drive to go get it." tsutomu says while going over to the key holder. i follow him like a puppy out to the car.
"where are we going? and at this time?" i pester, wondering what he and sayaka could've gotten me.
━━━━
we drive for a while, going on the highway.
tsutomu puts a blindfold on me halfway there. i still have no clue on what it could be.
he takes a few turns before parking the car.
"don't peek!" tsutomu says while getting out of the drivers side. i do as he says while he comes around it the passenger side and opens my door. he helps me out of the car and walks me to wherever my gift must be.
he talks quietly to someone before walking more, and stopping again.
"okay, you can open your eyes now."
i slide the blindfold off of my head to see i'm in, what looks like, a car dealership, a woman stood next to a car in front of tsutomu and i.
i look from the car, to the woman, then to tsutomu! "tomu?"
tsutomu positively hums in response, then looks to the lady i presume to be the car dealer.
"fukuhara chinami, this car is officially yours!" she tosses the key to me. i catch it and examine it as she walks off.
"when i got my license, you wouldn't let me drive whatsoever. how come you had a change of heart?" i look up to tsutomu.
"i guess we were just in the christmas spirit." tsutomu says with a shrug and a small smile. my eyes slightly, very slightly, tear up while i wrap my arms around his torso.
"thank you, tomu."
"of course. don't forget to thank sayaka as well."
"wait, do i have to drive this home..?"
tsutomu nods. my eyes slightly widen.
"tomu, i haven't driven since summer..."
"this will prove if you deserve this car."
i softly sigh and nod once, going over to the car. i look at myself in the reflection before unlocking it.
━━━━
i do end up driving home pretty okay, just some minor mishaps like.. going a tad bit over the speed limit.. but that's okay, i'm sure. right?
i go to sleep, excited for the christmas festivities tomorrow brings.
