"If someone isn't dead, dying, or on fire, think very carefully if you want to bother me. Also yes, there is a lion in my house, a real, breathing, shitting, man-eating lion. I'm not making it up. Fuck off."

[ See, when he glances up and notices the small signs of Tsukishima's embarrassment, Kenma can't help but call him cute, in his mind if not out loud. Shifting his feet up so he can prop them on the other's lap with a playful glimmer in his gaze, he smiles just barely, the curve of his lips almost hidden as he scoops another piece of food into his mouth. ] Thanks, too. I'm, uhm. I'm glad we get to spend today together. [ Even if Christmas isn't usual that big of a deal for him, it feels... more special like this. ]

[it's so cute when kenma smiles, and even after dating for a few months, it still makes his heart flutter in his chest like a caged butterfly, especially when accompanied by the obvious pleasure from enjoying his favorite treat.]

Me too. My family stopped doing much for Christmas when my brother moved out, so it's...nice, to do something for the holiday for a change.

I never really did things with my parents much. Kuro would always be the one dragging me out or over to his place on holidays. [ Though it might sound like it's an annoyance, Kenma is decidedly glad for it. Holly Heights has made him more appreciative of his childhood friend, not wanting to take what they have for granted as he thinks he had before. He glances up toward Tsukishima and then away to the side, lips pursed in a semblance of thought. ] Now that we're together, we can do a lot of things like this. Celebrating holidays and special occasions.

Mm, we...used to do holiday things, all four of us, but after I had my falling out with my brother, he didn't come home to celebrate after moving out. It felt wrong to do things with just the three of us, so it just sort of stopped.

[even though they've been together for a while, he doesn't think he's told kenma the whole story about akiteru. not because he doesn't trust him, but just because it feels...strangely pathetic, like he's worried kenma might scoff at how something like that could leave such a scar on him. it's a blanket fear that extends to anyone who might hear, which is precisely why he doesn't talk about it.

but thinking about celebrating with kenma is a much happier thought, and he lets his lips quirk up in response to his words.]

I like it. Getting gifts for you and doing things that I associate with family. [like sitting at the kotatsu and eating oranges as they wait for the new year, eating cake on birthdays and exchanging gifts at christmas. it's like building traditions, and starting a family that's his.]
