The room was silent save for the quiet murmuring of the television. Mizuki had put on some random holiday movie that Mafuyu had failed to pay attention to; having turned the volume down to near mute. It was near midnight on Christmas Eve, after all - they wouldn’t want to awake any neighbours accidentally.
The pair, of course, were far too busy with each others company to care about whichever underdog character needed to save Christmas this time.
Mizuki had positioned themselves on Mafuyu’s lap, legs wrapped around his waist with their arms draped over his shoulders. A blanket that had covered the pair had long since been kicked into the floor; forgotten as they became lost in each other’s embrace as they kissed life their lives depended on it.
Christmas was a difficult time for Mafuyu. He would never say it aloud, but Mizuki knew. After cutting off almost his entire family (there was a cousin he still spoke to, but that was it) Mafuyu was alone in the world - well, not completely alone. He had Mizuki. And Ena, and Kanade - and his friends who loved him dearly.
But holidays were hard. Birthdays, Christmas, New Years - he suffered in silence. A small part of him missed those family occasions; he missed the warmth of being a child with so much innocence and love for his family.
But now, he felt nothing. Just an empty hole where all of these feelings once sat.
All Mizuki could do was keep his mind off of it as much as possible - and kissing was as better distraction as any.
Mizuki’s hands found themselves nestled into the thick fluff of Mafuyu’s hair as they pulled themselves in deeper; tongue having long since slipped into their boyfriends mouth. Mafuyu’s own hands were settled on the small of Mizuki’s back, rubbing small circles against it.
Their apartment was nicely decorated, all things considered - Mizuki had done most of the work. They loved Christmas. They loved the decorations, the songs, the gifts - everything was just so fun! A tree sat in the corner adorned with lights and baubles; tinsel draped around with all the love and care Mizuki could give when decorating.
They didn’t have a fireplace in their apartment, so their stockings hung on the wall next to tree. A few gifts were already below the tree; ones the rest of N25 had exchanged a few days earlier. More would surly be sprinkled in throughout the night by the pair - but only when the other wasn’t looking.
Eventually, they had to break for air; Mizuki pulling back, resting their forehead against Mafuyu’s - who panted softly, cheeks flushed a light shade of red. Mizuki bit back a teasing comment, opting to smirk gently at him instead, their fingers running through his hair as a sort of soothing motion.
They gasped as they felt Mafuyu’s fingers slip under the back of their shirt; his ice cold finger tips contrasting against the warmth radiating from their body from their closeness.
Neither spoke, purple hues melting into the pools of pastel pink in front of them as they gazed into each other eyes; completely lost within the others gaze.
Hours could have passed should they have been left like this - they could do this forever, just admiring the others beauty until the end of the universe.
But as the clock struck twelve, and Mizuki’s phone pinged with messages of festive cheer; it was Mafuyu who broke the silence.
“Merry Christmas, my love.” He mumbled, before he closed the gap between them ones more; pressing his lips against Mizuki’s before they even had a moment to respond.
They wouldn’t complain, though - a kiss from Mafuyu was the best gift of all.
