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...

Ah... That's a relief... I... I don't know what I would have done if I was making you upset somehow...

[10yen_idol]

Eh!? I-Is that what you thought!?

[combat_butler]

Er, well... Just from how you worded it, maybe a little...? I'm glad there's nothing wrong though! Really...

[10yen_idol]

Oh... sorry! I didn't mean to make you think that-! [ auau don't give her those eyes ] I'm perfectly happy with you the way you are!

[combat_butler]

Ehehe... *Might look a bit too happy at hearing that...* T-That's really good! You're one of the last people I ever want to have upset with me in anyway...

[10yen_idol]

[ aaaa Yayoi's kind of blushing a little at that ] R... really? Um, um- I don't ever want you to be upset with me, either!

[combat_butler]

--eh?! *Suddenly he goes from happy to DISBELIEF* Up... Upset with you?! H-How could I-- I can't even begin to imagine what kind of thing would make me upset with you that wasn't just some horrible misunderstanding on my part!

[10yen_idol]

I-I don't know! Like... if I did something bad, like jaywalking...

[ Yayoi shakes her head. ] I don't ever want to take that chance!!

[combat_butler]

...

Yeah, you don't have to worry about a thing in that regard. ♥

[10yen_idol]

Really? Well, if you're sure...

[combat_butler]

I'm positive! There's just no way you'd do something as bad as... jaywalking...

[10yen_idol]

Okay! In that case, I'll make sure to live up to your trust, Hayate!!

[combat_butler]

Mm... That's good, but... You've already lived up to it quite a good deal...

[10yen_idol]

[ Blink. Blink. ]

[ ... o-oh. That actually makes her surprisingly happy ] Huh? R-Really?

[combat_butler]

Mm, really! After all this time, along with everything you've done for me as of late... I feel like I could trust you with pretty much anything, Yayoi. ♥

[10yen_idol]

Hayate...

[ Yayoi's smile gradually grows brighter until she's just straight-out beaming at him ]

Eheheh~... I'm so glad! I mean- I kind of feel the same way, too!

[combat_butler]

*s-so cute. Seeing her smile like that might be the best present he'll get tonight.*

Ehe... If I can be the kind of person who you would always come to with your problems and be honest with... I would definitely consider that a great accomplishment!

[10yen_idol]

I will! That's-

[ WELL, she can't say that that's a promise, since there's one specific thing that she hasn't exactly been forthcoming to him about, but- ]

I... I DEFINITELY will! Um- I'd be really happy if you did the same for me, too!!

[combat_butler]

*If it was anyone else in the world he might notice that brief hesitation BUT NOPE oblivious.*

Ahaha... I wouldn't want to burden you any more than I already have... Since really, I feel kind of guilty about how much you've had to cheer me up these past few months...

[10yen_idol]

Aah, please don't say that! It's not a burden at all! Besides, we've known each other for a long time already!!

[combat_butler]

--eh? E... Even if that's the case, you must have thought it was kind of bothersome how I kept sulking about it, right...?

[10yen_idol]

Not really? I mean... it's really tough when things like that happen, so it can't be helped, I think....

[combat_butler]

*... fff... Any sudden doubt he was welling up poofs away at hearing that, since he really would hate to ever burden her.*

Ah... well... Still, if I ever do... You'll be honest with me about it, right...?

[10yen_idol]

[ Oh- something she can promise! There is absolutely NO hesitation in her response- ]

I will! That's DEFINITELY a promise!

[combat_butler]

*Whoa--* --ah! Um... T-Thank you! I don't want either of us to ever have to lie to each other about something...
