CHRISTMAS.

Character Names: OPEN, OPEN, OPEN.
When: All of Christmas week
Location: Under the tree in the parlor
Summary: It's Christmas, and everyone has presents to open. No, you won't get coal.
Ratings: ...G? PG? We're opening presents, for God's sake.
Warnings: Gift rap, choking hazards for children under 3.



[The tree in the parlor is massive. Its prickly branches stretch outwards and are weighed down with bright ornaments; the star at the top nearly touches the ceiling. In the fireplace nearby, a fire crackles warm and orange. Outside the window, there is snow. It's a perfect Christmas scene. And on the rug, under the tree? Those are your presents.]

[He shrugs, amused.] It made sense at the time? [Not everything is a massive master plan.]

[Aoko sitting on the ground with her skirt tucked down just munching on the Brownies Touya has given her and reading a book she'd found stuffed in a flower pot-if they were distracted with their own conversation they wouldn't notice just what book she was reading.]

[Kaito narrows his eyes suspiciously at Hakuba.] Right... [He decided it was better not to get into an argument on Christmas, though he still thought there had to be some kind of joke, even if he was also trying to be nice for once. Anyway, time to let his curiosity get the better of him instead.]

So, what'd you get?

I don't know yet. [He's poking through the handful of boxes, then pauses with a raised eyebrow at the card on one.]

The Hell?

[As OCD as he can be, he's not very neat about unwrapping things - it's more "shred and toss to the side".]

[...Except that he stops with it half-unwrapped and a very clear "FML" expression, and basically headwalls against the box. Some of the colors might be visible, and he did toss aside the piece of wrapping with the tag.]

[Aoko looks up from her book at that and sets it aside to wander over to her two friends]

What'd you get? [She's curious too]

[identity profile] nofishplz.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaito blinked in surprise at that reaction. What the heck had he gotten? he couldn't quite make out the box right then, so instead he decided to pick up the discarded card.]

... "Put this to good use?" [And it was signed with a kiss mark... Huh.] What's that supposed to mean? Put what to good use?

[Again he tried to see if he could see what the box was.]

At least I've amused SOMEONE here. [He's shifting the box to the side away from Kaito. It'd be really easy to sneak over on that side for someone else-]

Nothing. [Lineface :| ] You don't want to know who it's from.

1/?

[Aoko blinks as he moves it way from Kaito's reach and goes to the other side and... take it from him.]

Really, Hakuba-kun what could be so bad about it-

-ah le? [she's looking down at the title-stupid English.]

Twister...? [she reading it carefully] The game that ties you up in knots?

[she was a little fuzzy on some of those words but she knew one!]

[Kaito blinked again.] ... Twister?

[Then he started to blush.] Y-you're kidding right? Why would...?

[Okay, remember poker face, no need to react like that. He coughed.] Who would send something like that?

[He has a moment of helplessly doomed flail when Aoko grabs it, and is now firmly in "laughingstock of the universe" mode.]

Ah, it's - someone I met a couple weeks ago. With a very odd sense of humor. [This is more for Aoko's benefit; he has a small "butt of joke huff and sulk" moment that coincidentally means that when he mutters something under his breath that's barely intelligible, Kaito's the one most likely to hear it.] Very funny, Vineyard.

[Aoko gives both boys a very puzzled look]

What's wrong with you two? It's only a game.

[identity profile] nofishplz.livejournal.com 2010-12-24 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaito rubbed the back of his head, looking a little sheepish. He didn't want to explain this to Aoko.]

Um, I don't think it's a game you'd want to play Aoko.

[As usual, this was going to fall to him.] You might want to take a closer look at it and think about this one.

[Aoko sighs and tears the plastic wrap away from the box so she can raid it for the instructions--English.]

...Ano...
