Suguru Geto only ever celebrated Christmas because of Nanako and Mimiko. He didn’t want them to be looking forward to the 25th of December and receive nothing, then he’d feel like he failed the two of them and he didn’t want to feel that. But after he met you, did he really have to worry as much? Ever since, you’ve been getting the girls countless presents each, making them both happy. You were fine with Suguru sitting back and relaxing. You thought he needed the rest.

The year went by like a breeze, snow was falling outside while his two girls both played in the snow. Mimiko was building a snowman in silence with Suguru, while you and Nanako battled in the snow, launching snowballs at each other. The girl was winning because you were letting her, you were hesitant. Didn’t want to hurt her too badly.

Suguru seemed to admire you. He liked how gentle you always were with the girls, he wasn’t even focusing on the snowman, just looking at you from where he sat on the snow, his gaze fixed on you. Specifically your smile.
