A Christmas Party appears!

[combat_butler]

Who: OPEN to anyone in Goldenrod who would like to attend!
Where: isthedeadcat's soon-to-be Tea House!
When: Forward dated to Christmas Day, around 5ish PM to QUESTION MARKS???
Summary: Hayate and Yayoi put together a party with the help of some friends, so it's time come enjoy it, Goldenrod!
Rating: PG as can be, hopefully!
Log:
It wasn't often that Hayate had a hand in preparing for a party outside of catering or cooking, so this was a whole new world for the butler... Which is why he was glad he had so much assistance from his wonderful friends! With Lion providing the locale, a whole slew of people helping him and Yayoi decorate... It was all looking pretty good! Which is why when the time came to start the party itself, he was rather relaxed.

... Now if only he could find a way to get rid that inflatable Santa someone had put up by the karaoke machine...

Eheheh~... you don't need to look so surprised!

[combat_butler]

Erk... It... It's kind of hard not to, though... getting a present still is a... very unusual feeling for me.

[10yen_idol]

Hmm... we're DEFINITELY going to have to change that!

[combat_butler]

Ahaha... I-I think I'm fine with it! I mean... It only happens twice a year, near the end of it... Happens here, I mean... So it's not like there's reason to go crazy with it...

*shaking his head a bit* I-In any case... Do... Do you want to open them...?

[10yen_idol]

Ah, would it really be alright?

[combat_butler]

Of course! Presents are meant to be opened today~

[10yen_idol]

O... okay!

[ Yayoi carefully opens her present, only to find- ]

Frogs? -- ah...! Are these hair clips!?

[combat_butler]

Mm! They are. I actually bought them when we were out together... I had to make sure you didn't notice. ♥

[10yen_idol]

Uu-uuu~! I didn't notice at all! When did you-

[ WHOOPS- she's too excited to notice the other small piece of jewelry that's clinging to the edge of the box- ]

[combat_butler]

I got those right when I was getting all the other hair decorations. I can have rather fast hands when I want to.

*HAHA sob... He will just wait for her to notice, unless she sets it aside, then he might panic.*

[10yen_idol]

Eheheh~... thank you so- heh? HAHWAH-!!

[ Yayoi finally notices, and lifts the box up for a closer look- and then she stares wide-eyed at Hayate ]

Hayate! I... I think you accidentally dropped this in the box...!!

[combat_butler]

Hm? Ah... *Shaking his head a bit* No way... I'm not the type of guy who could mix up that kind of gift. It would just be horrible if I did. It's in there because it's supposed to be!

[10yen_idol]

[ Yayoi looks at the hair clips. And then she looks at the piece of jewelry. ]

I... I...

[ AND THEN SHE PANICS ]

D-do I have to choose only one of them!?

[combat_butler]

--eh?! N-No, of course not! They're both for you, Yayoi! You've just done so much for me lately, I wanted to get you both something practical and something nice...

[10yen_idol]

Eh!? R... really?

[ s-she looks at both gifts and then looks back up and then aaaa ]

Hayate...!

[combat_butler]

Mm! I just-- *aaaaaaa why is she making that face.*

Eh? Wha... Don't tell me... Do you not like it...?

[10yen_idol]

[ AAAAAAAAAH not that face- ]

O-Of course I do! I like it a lot! I'm just- it makes me really happy, Hayate-!

[combat_butler]

... eh? R-Really?! Ahhh... Th-that's good! I was pretty worried there for a second... I wasn't sure if you would like this kind of gift or not, but I really wanted to give you more than just the hair clips...

[10yen_idol]

Eheheh~... I'd have really liked EITHER of them if they'd just come alone, but... I never thought I'd get TWO presents!

[combat_butler]

Ah... W-Well... Like I said, you've just done so much for me lately to keep me in high spirits... Especially after Mitsuru and Asuka-san left... I know something material won't properly convey my feelings entirely... But nonetheless, I do hope you'll wear them sometime.

[10yen_idol]

Really? I mean... I didn't do THAT much, but... um...

[ WELP, she's going to undo her current hair clips, letting her hair down, and she's putting in the frog clips instead-- ]

[combat_butler]

No... You definitely did a lot. In fact I'm pretty sure I-- *cutting off as he notices her letting her hair down, looking more than a little surprised* --eh?! I-I know I just said it, but I didn't mean you had to wear them now...!

[10yen_idol]

But it's a Christmas present on Christmas Day!

[ END OF EXPLANATION- with a fwsh, fwsh, clip, her pigtails go back up pretty quickly ]

Hayate, Hayate, how does it look?

[combat_butler]

... cute! Very much so! Frogs definitely suit your style!

[10yen_idol]

Eheheh~... they go really well with Berochoro! [ She lifts up the frog pouch she's always got with her. ] It's like they're relatives!
