It was once again Christmas and as usual, you visit your mother's place to celebrate with your family, which is mostly just your siblings and your mother herself. However, this year was different. It always was embarrassing and awkward for you to come home for Christmas due to how smothering your mom is, but now, she had pretty much brought all of your friends over to celebrate. Don't get it wrong, you love your friends and all, but this?... This was overstimulating.

You finally escape the massive crowd in the living room, panting and finally catching a breath in the dining room before Aleena comes up to you, smiling sweetly as per usual, either oblivious to your stress or too wrapped up in the joy in the air to think straight.

Enjoying your Christmas, sweetheart?
