Being stuck in Paris for Christmas wasn’t so bad. Shu had hoped he’d be able to make it back home to Japan, but he had to make up for class time from when he had gone back for idol activities. Going to a school focused on clothing design meant that he didn’t get free reign anymore for being an idol like he had in high school. It was a touch sad, but nothing that Shu hadn’t expected. He had managed to go back for several shows and to visit both Mika and Nito, along with the handful of friends he had.
Shu had already made sure to reach out to those he cared for, including his family, and let them know he would be staying in Paris for Christmas to catch up on work, but he was hoping to be done with enough time to be home for New Year’s. Mika had sent him a bunch of sad and crying face emojis, but in the end had accepted the situation and promised to make New Year’s extra extra special.
Nito for his part also understood. He was in university as well and understood how difficult it was to juggle being in school and being an idol. Though the boy had also been strangely subdued in their texting and found reasons to not stay on the phone long with him. Shu was concerned that Nito was still annoyed with him for not making it back home. It would be their first Christmas together since they resumed dating after their terrible falling out in their second year. The year apart had done them well and they were both different now yet still the same. Shu would have loved to spend Christmas with his darling Nito, but they were adults now, certainly he understood that?
There wasn’t much Shu could do about the situation in any case. He left the school’s studio after tidying up his work station. It was Christmas Eve and the city was bustling with last minute shoppers and tourists here to see the tower and everything that made Paris beautiful. Shu opened his phone to read the texts he had gotten from Mika, Kuro, Izumi, and Mao. His ultimate and roommates were all wishing him a Merry Christmas. It was already December 25th back home, only a few more hours before it would be here. Shu texted them back thanking them all and proceeded to scroll down to see what else was going on with his friends while he walked home. The city was lovely, but seeing couples and such together just made him ache. Nito hadn’t texted him and it made him feel heart ill. He would have to spoil the man rotten when he got back to Japan.
Returning home Shu undid the lock of his apartment, toed off his shoes and put his bad down before turning on the light.
“Merry Christmas, Shu!”
Shu turned towards his living room area and found that Nito was there, he was dressed in a very ugly Christmas sweater, knee high black socks, and a pair of shorts that barely covered his thighs. He was also wearing a bow in his hair as if he was to be Shu’s present this year.
Shu felt like crying. This whole time he thought Nito was avoiding him out of anger but he had been avoiding him so he wouldn’t spill the secret. He had come all the way to Paris to spend Christmas with him. “Nito!” Shu rushed over to lift the smaller man into his arms, hugging him around the waist and peppering his pretty little face with kisses. “Nito, Nito. Nito, my darling Nito. Mon amour, I love you so much. I love you, I love you, I love you.” he spoke between his kisses leaving Nazuna to giggle and laugh and soothingly pet his boyfriend’s head until he finally placed him back on his feet.
Nazuna reached up to take a hold of Shu’s face, stroking his cheeks with his thumbs. He looked at Shu as if he was just as much a Christmas present as Nazuna was himself. The look of sweet adoration in his eyes left Shu’s knees growing weak and he all too happily let them buckle a bit so he could meet Nazuna’s lips with his own. Kissing him gentle and sweet, ah, what a Merry Christmas indeed.
