AN: Hold up! Suki is reading some genderbend DDLC— *gasp* SHE KNOWS!

Natsuki's POV

"🎶Ohhh yeEeeeEaaaAaaaA! Oh yeaaaa🎶" I sing out loud to myself while looking at the calendar on my phone.

Today is the December 10th right? Wait— yup it is!

Why's that important you ask? Wellll...

When tomorrow comes it'll officially be 2 weeks until my birthday! HELL YEAH! I pump a fist in the air.

Since my birthday is always on Christmas I never got presents twice in a row in a year, like other people. My Mom always called my Christmas presents Birthmas presents instead. It was always a fun word to me.

The news just doesn't end there! Monika's birthday is December 24th, so she's gonna be in the same boat I am. Getting Birthmas presents.

"Eeee I can't wait!" I screech out loud to myself. "...Natsuki... go to sleep please..." Shit I forgot about Yuri!

"Sorrrrry." I whisper back to her. YuYu doesn't say anything else after that because she's in sleep mode.

I guess I should go in sleep mode like she said, we have school tomorrow. It's a big wast of 7 hours of my life (not the club) of learning shit we don't need in life.

You have to go, Natsuki. Now go to sleep bitch. Shut up brain! I'm going, I'm going! I turn off my phone, putting it on the side table, Yuri already set an alarm on her phone so I won't bother.

Wow, I just noticed I'm staying up later than Yuri for once— anyway, I smother my body with the sheet and blankets because it's cold, finally I turn on my side, facing YuYu.

Night YuYu. I finally close my eyes.
—————————————————————

"Eh? How did you wake up before me?" My purple girlfriend walks into the kitchen with drowsy eyes.

As I was placing down a plate of muffins for breakfast, I told Yuri, "You will never beat me in the mornings. HAHA!"

"Really? You must of forgotten that I beaten you on the day I got Blade." (AN: this sentence sounds so bad—)

"Wait what—"

"Don't you remember?"

"No! Not at all." I shake my head. Man even when Yuri's half asleep she's still better at remembering junk. Lord that woman—

I decided to change the subject quick, so I said, "We should eat these muffins before they get cold," then I scratched my neck awkwardly, showing Yuri how much I really wanna get going.

YuYu got the message, so she went to the fridge to get some milk. "Fine, fine, I won't fight with you... but you know I'm right—" A smirk tugged at her lips when she spoke.

"Just eat the damn muffins!" I shouted at her, then I went over towards the cabinet to get two glasses, placing them on the table. The whole time I was YuYu was chuckling.

You'll get her back but for now you should eat. Well, I agree with you for once brain, when you're not spewing gay thoughts at me!

The violetette pours milk into the two glasses I placed down, when she was done she put the jug back in the fridge yade yade ya.

She sits down to ask, "Are they blueberry?" before grabbing one off the plate. "Mhm. All of them. I made sure to put down the sugary taste on some of them for you."

"Aw thank you, you know me too wellll!" Yuri gushed. She gingerly moves the muffin to her mouth about to take a bite, but I had to stop her by grabbing her arm.

"Waiiit! Don't eat it!" I had just realized she was about to eat a sugary muffin. Once I shouted and stopped her, Yuri gives me a puzzled look.

"Eh? Why can't I eat it?" She asks me.

"Because—" I point to the muffin, "It's a sugary one!" After I shouted, she looks even more confused.

"Oh it is? I couldn't even tell." She says. I let go of her arm and grab the muffin out of her hand. "I don't know how you couldn't tell," I take a non-sugary muffin off the plate so I can compare the two, "See, look, this muffin has more blueberries than this non-sugary one."

"Ah. Well you're definitely better at noticing this kind of stuff better then me. Huhu." Yuri chuckles, scratches her cheek, which looked cute by the way.

Don't worry this is a normal day for us. Recently, we've shown each other that we're better at something more than the other, like YuYu beating me at remembering numbers or me showing of my baking skills. Heh~.

Anyway, my purple lover asks if I could give her all the non-sugary muffins which I accepted to. I am the pink queen of baking after all.

The whole muffin situation was fixed which means we can finally eat together like a normal couple (even though we're not normal.)

As we eat, we chat about 'normal' things, like wondering if we can try to do 'that' late at night again because we always get interrupted or there is a distraction one way or another.

"I mean... can we try again tonight?" My cheeks heated up when I asked that. It might seem weird how we've gone from muffins to sex, but oh well that's life.

"Mmmmm. I know, I know we've always been interrupted, but I want to wait a little longer." Yuri said calmly, which was honestly unexpected from her, well she does have more experience sexually...

"But..." YuYu spoke up again, while she gets up from her chair to put her crummy plate in the sink. "It might be sooner than you think, Cupcake." She winks.

I blink. "Oh... really?" I ask. Yuri just nods her head not saying anything.

A few seconds later, she comes back to grab my dirty dishes, but she did something that caught me off guard. She went up close to my ear and whispered, "Someone's birthday is in 2 weeks after all~."

This caused my heart to pump against my skin. Oh god so she did remember and was planning something!

"You r-remembered my birthday?" I accidentally asked while stuttering because of her up-close actions.

"Oh, of course I did, Cupcake. Now get dressed~." Yuri kisses my ear, quickly, while picking up my dirty dishes from the table so she can put them in the sink.

I was stuck. Frozen in place at the table to where my legs wouldn't move. The actions of my purple lover have put more of a impact on me than I thought.

What is she planning?— I mean I have an idea it's just— how is she gonna do it?

I've been asking questions like that in my head, it felt like I was sitting here for hours but in reality I've only been here for a short period of time.

My thoughts were interrupted by soft giggling, and of course, it was from YuYu. "Are you going to get dressed or am I going to have to do it for you?" She asked mischievously.

"Oh— I'm going, I'm going!" I ran off upstairs, my face was burning the whole time I was.

It's gonna be a long two weeks...
—————————————————————

I'm finally done with all of my classes. Good thing I always jump cut to the club so everyone here doesn't get bored from all of the shitty classes— except lunch of course.

Anyway, I haven't gotten anything planned for today. We're probably gonna do the same old same old.

There was no one else in the hallway yet except me, so I go ahead and open the door for myself. I was shocked to find no one but Taurin? He's never here this early!

Goldilocks over here turns around when he heard the door open, he saw it was me so he greeted me with a tiny salute and said, "How's it going, Short Stack?"

Of course in response, I give him my usual playful eye roll and cross my arms over my chest. "Why are you here so early? You're never this early!" I asked him. "Usually Issa or Sebastian are here first."

"Oh, oh yea, I got out of last period sooner." The blonde said while rubbing the back of his neck casually.

I just gave him a nod, showing that I understood his excuse. I walked over to my signature spot next to the closet so I can continue reading the manga that I'm on.

'Haikyuu!!'.

Now I hate volleyball, but because of this manga I've learned so much about the game. Like, who knew there was such thing as a set up until this! Come on! And a ace, and captain, and blockers— you get the point.

It's sooo freaking good! So you see, that's why I want to keep reading it.

I slide my bag on the floor right beside me, unzipping the top of it so I can pull out a fresh volume of 'Haikyuu!!'.

What's actually pretty funny to me is that Haikyuu is just volleyball in Japanese. The more you know—

Anyway, I pull out the volume and zip up my bag where it lazily sits beside me. I open up the Japanese comic book to the first page to begin reading. I won't describe which volume it is so use your imagination everyone!

You could say I'm the opposite from Yuri when she read because when she reads she can't hear anything around her, that's how mesmerized she is, but when I read I can hear EVERYTHING around me. So much that it pisses me off.

I needed to tell you that first before I explained what's going on okay, so bear with me.

In the background, there was shuffling. It was probably Taurin reaching into his bag but either way it bothered me. It shouldn't, it's a simple noise, but it is.

I grip the side of my manga, resisting the the urge to say something. It's not worth it, Natsuki, it's not worth  your energy.

After a few seconds the overtaking noises stopped in my ears and it finally went back to silence. With a sigh of relief, I can finally read my manga in peace again.

Until everyone else comes into the club.

Speak of the devil, the sounds of the door opening could be heard from all the way back here.

Then there were voices.

"Monika, I'm sure everything is alright." It was YuYu's sweet voice. Well, there goes peace and— wait what's wrong with Monika?!

"I know, yes, I know but I still can't help but worry about him." The brunette answers Yuri with a cracked tone in her voice. Who is she talking about?

"I'm guessing you dudettes got the texts too?" Okay what's going on?

I mark the spot in my manga, close it, and set to the side. I get up from my place to ask what the problem is.

Monika and Yuri both give Taurin a nod, at the same time I walk over to them. "What happened? Is everything okay?" I ask while looking between the three.

In return, Monika gives me a worried look and a sigh, on the other hand Taurin moves over beside her to give the brunette a comforting hand on the shoulder.

I hate seeing her like this.

"Earlier, I got a text from Sebastian saying he wasn't coming to school today... We all did apparently. I tried asking what was wrong but he never replied today... I'm worried about him." Monika's tone was distraught, I can tell she really cares for Sebastian. Of course she does!

"Text? I guess I didn't know because I haven't checked my phone today." I gently rub my arm, averting my head to the ground, now I feel a little guilty for not knowing this sooner.

Monika grabs Taurin's wrist so she can take his hand off her shoulder. She then ruffles through her hair, sliding her hand all the way through her ponytail. Man she looks so tired and fed up.

"It's alright, Natsuki." I raise my head to look at her, "I— I'm just going crazy over this. I seriously hope he's okay." Our president takes one more look at us before pulling her phone out of her pocket to check, probably for a reply from Seb.

"Give him time, Monika. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, he probably had something come up, he could be sick, etc." Yuri reassures The brunette without stuttering.

"You're right, but that won't stop me from worrying." Monika sits at her desk. Her eyes haven't left her phone.

"Of course this won't stop you..." Yuri says while walking closer to desk. "But you can still give him time, can't you?"

The brunette sighs. "Well, I don't have much of a choice do I? I'll have to visit him after club time." For a split second she looks at us with a slight smile. I can tell she's eased a bit from her features, but Monika still looks worried.

"Maybee you should wait 'till you get texts before you visit him. Heh." Taurin jumps in to say. "I— right. I'm getting ahead of myself. Thank you guys." After Monika said that, we all give her a smile (for Taurin a smirk) before going back to our own things.

Yuri and Taurin handled that better than I could've, that's why I didn't say much. I kinda wish I did say more but I was pretty speechless about the whole thing.

Oh well. We have to move on for now...

I went my separate way next to the closet. I spotted my manga right where I left it, so I picked it up floor then immediately slide my back against the wall, gently landing on my ass.

Now, it's time to get some reading done.
—————————————————————

Man. It's almost time to go home already! Today went by real fast and not from the jump cuts but in real time.

Monika should be giving one of her speeches soon, that is, if she's not too nervous. Though she has settled down, so I think she'll be alright?

I hope so.

I went ahead and closed my manga, gingerly putting it back in its place. I did it anyway because I'm getting ahead start from packing.

As I was looking down into my bag hastily but gingerly getting everything in order, so nothing will poke me once I leave, a sudden feeling in the floor could be felt against my feet. It startled me so I accidentally dropped my bag.

What the hell—

My gaze shifts around the room to see what could be causing this weird boom, but all I could see was Monika standing near her desk, looking at her phone while everyone else was also looking at her.

Instantly I was concerned, but that feeling went away once I saw Monika's expression change to a positive one.

"Is everything alright, Mono?" Sayori was the first to speak up to her girlfriend. She made her way over towards the brunette, stopping in her tracks once she saw her girlfriend's expression. Everyone else was waiting for Monika to speak, including me.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Yes!" Monika's voice was squealing a bit. "Sebastian's alright!! Oh thank god!"

"H-He is? How do you know?" Yuri asks her.

The brunette gives Yuri and then the rest of us a big smile. "Haaa, welll, Pops texted me! He texted saying, 'Sebastian is alright, he's just had a cold and some numbing in his hands for some reason, but he's doing just fine. Sorry you've been worried.' "

After all of that worrying and anxiety Sebastian was alright—?

"Wait— I know your Pops said he was okay but is he alright... or not? Really?" I asked Monika. Monika looks my way.

"Hmm. Well, since I was waited for texts like Taurin suggested, I could visit him now and—" Our club president was cut off by the sound of her text ringer. She instantly looked at the text on her homepage.

"Oh—" Was all that escaped from her lips when she read it. "Pops texted again saying, 'I rather you call Sebastian rather than coming here, just in case you catch his cold. Thank you!' "

Huh— I guess that makes sense. Though if I was Monika I'd visit him—

"Welp. I can't do much else, I'm just glad he's okay!" Monika takes a deep sigh of relief, which was satisfying to hear after all that crap.

"Heh. Sorry to worry all of you too." The brunette said while her demeanor shifted to an embarrassed one by her scratching the back of her neck, sheepishly.

Everyone gives Monika a "Don't worry" or "I'm glad everything is okay" kinda look, some even did the same thing Monika did by giving a sigh of relief.

Thank god this crap cleared out! Off the table. Pasted. You get the point.

"Good. Great! Ha!" Monika beams. She finally walks up to the podium. (AN: Still needs to change stage to podium in earlier chaps 😬.)

Everyone grabs their bags and sits down in a their own desks. Feeling the air of the room shift, I sit down next to my purple lover, who I always sit next to of course.

"I'm glad everything has been settled with that... whole situation... so now it's time for announcements everyone." The brunette puts one hand in her hip, then continues.

"Okay, everyone, as you all know Christmas is around the corner aaand 2 birthdays are too, wink, wink. So, I have some special news that the Principal wanted all the club presidents to announce..."

Lemme guess a hockey game at night or something—

"Vending machines in club rooms?!" Sayori enthusiastically yells. Yo that's way better!

"Haha. No, Say-Say." Monika giggles.

"Heaters that actually work?" Issa asks.

"Nope."

"Football game, hockey game, basketball game?!" I ask.

"No, no, no!" Monika waves her hands in the air.

"Then what is it?!"

"It's..." Our president trails off...
