The Twelve Pains of Christmas

Summary:

As much joy Christmas brings, it also brings pain.

Notes:

Welcome!
What is this, you ask?
Well, it's that time of year again and I decided to celebrate in the best way possible. Pain.
But not the usual pain like blood and all that nasty stuff that would earn this a Mature rating. No no no. I meant small pains perfectly explained in the song "The Twelve Pains of Christmas" by Bob Rivers. At first I wanted to make a Persona version of the song full of issues the player has to face in Persona games. Then I thought, "No, let's put Persona characters into these situations!"
And because I have no self-control and no filter, that is how this came to be. Yes, there will be ships, some more potent than others.
And if you're wondering if this all happens at the same time, no, it does not. Think of this more like short stories in an anthology book.

So try not to get too anxious, because I present: The Twelve Pains of Christmas.

Chapter 1: Finding a Christmas Tree

Chapter Text

Yasoinaba

2014

 

Yu Narukami was visiting his cousin and uncle for the holidays. Although he never celebrated Christmas in the western fashion, this year Yu and his friends decided to find a Christmas tree for Nanako. Yosuke suggested they just bought a fake tree at Junes, but Yu wanted a real living tree that everyone could decorate together.

So, the eight friends walked through town, talking and joking all the while.

"Are you sure this guy's legit senpai?" Rise asked.

"I think so, I mean he's there every year," Chie explained.

Yosuke butted into the conversation. "This guy could be a total sham!"

"He's legit Yosuke!"

"I'm just saying we could be in Junes instead of out in the cold!"

"'s not that cold-"

"Shut up Kanji!"

"How are we going to bring the tree back to your residence?" Naoto asked. The group went silent, all turning to look at their friend. "Do you have a tree stand?"

"A... what?" Yu questioned.

Naoto sighed. "The seller should sell Christmas tree stands; we'll just buy one there."

"Or we can-"

"Yosuke, I swear to God!"
