Who: The Investigation Team and Nanako plus one death goddess.
Where: Yu and Nanako's apartment.
Summary: The IT celebrates Christmas together away from home... more or less.
Warnings: Yu trying to keep up his mission to bring a Green Christmas to Hinoto-ri. Horrible singing. lulz

It was a bit rushed and last minute -- and most of the work had to be done by other people because a certain grey haired leader was currently acting like an idiot -- but the apartment that Yu and Nanako shared was currently decked out for the winter holiday. Streamers hung around door frames and windows, and someone had even managed to bring in a little fake pine tree to be decorated.

There's also food, of course, though how good it is depends greatly on who cooked it. Taste with care, least you end up poisoned on Christmas.

It might not seem very festive at the moment, especially considering the current state (and presence) of certain individuals... but that will change at midnight at least.

"Um... Are you feeling better, Big Bro?"

Even if he's hiding it, she knows about the bandages. Yu's strange costume change didn't bother her that much, but maybe the others are worried worried he'll fly out the window again if he can change back... So, she doesn't complain about what they've done to him. Although it still does worry her.

Oh Nanako... if only he knew how okay she was with such a thing; that had to be worse than crossdressing every Saturday night, right?

"I'm fine, Nanako," he assured her. "I just... there's someone I want to help, but our friends think it's a bad idea."

She'll respect your lifestyle, too. That's what family is supposed to do, right?

"...You mean the Pyro Jacks?"

Yu nodded. "That's right."

"Um..." Nanako isn't sure if she should be getting involved, since if Yu is taking sides, he must have a good reason for it, right? But the whole situation doesn't feel right to her.

"I know the Pyro Jacks want to have fun on Christmas... but fighting isn't good. And, Christmas is in the winter. I think we should have winter weather in the winter... and summer weather in the summer. That way, people who like cold and people who like hot are happier."

...even Nanako was against him? Yu sank back against the couch with a tired sigh, but he managed a smile on his face, reaching over to rub her head.

"Maybe so," he replied, "I guess it doesn't matter much right now."

Even Nanako can realize that he's being ridiculous right now.

"Yeah... It's already almost Christmas."
