"Ken! Wake up! It's Christmas! Ken! Let me in! Ken!" Iris' voice shouted from outside my room.
I groaned, sitting up from my bed and rubbing my temples. This was certainly a way to wake me up for Christmas...
It reminds me of how excited Kiera would be on Christmas.
"Ken! Unlock the door! Come on! It's Christmas! Why can't I get in?!" Iris yelled.
Sitting in front of the door to my room was my closet. I had placed it there in order to keep them from entering my room.
They're be strong enough to get it out of the way, but only if they want to destroy both the door and my closet. That's a lot of damage just to sleep beside me.
Wait...somethings off...
I glanced over to my left side, where there was a bulge under the blankets beside me. A human sized bulge...
Slowly pulling the covers up, it was revealed that Lily was sleeping next to me in a curled up position.
How'd she get in here?! Don't tell me she used the window?!
"Ken!" Iris screamed once more from outside.
It was once I heard Iris' voice that I realized how big of a predicament I was in. If I didn't open the door for Iris, she might get worried and think that something happened to me, busting down the door and closet to find me besides Lily.
"I'll be there in a moment!" I yelled back.
"Why won't you let me in?!" She replied.
"I'm changing!" I lied.
"...Why won't you let me in?!" She repeated.
There's no getting through to these girls...
I quickly covered up a Lily with a bunch of blankets to make it seem like a pile of blankets was on my bed instead of a person. I moved the closet out of the way, opening the door for Iris.
Iris practically jumped into my arms. "Ken! It's Christmas!"
"You're excited, huh?" I asked her.
"Yeah!" Iris smiled. "We have a Christmas party with close people every year, but this year will be the best since you're here."
My heart slightly melted at that statement.
"Hey, what's with all of the blankets on your bed?" Iris asked, looking past me.
My heart started going wild. In the bad way.
"I got cold last night!" I lied. "So I got a bunch of blankets!"
"It has been pretty chilly lately." Iris nodded, rubbing her arms.
And then I was frozen solid as a loud yawn entered my ears. Looking behind me, I watched as Lily appeared from under the mess of her blankets, stretching her arms.
It didn't help that the tank top she was wearing was slipping down her body.
"Ken..." I heard Iris growl.
Misunderstandings with a yandere is a good way to sentence yourself to death. So I did the honorable thing.
I ran out of the room, closing the door behind me and placing a desk from the hallway in front of it.
"Ken!" I heard Iris scream. She banged on the door. "What were you doing with Ken?!"
"What the hell?!" I heard Lily screech.
You were a worthy sacrifice. I will honor you and the everything you've done for me.
Glancing down at myself, I noticed I was in my shirt and shorts that I slept in. It was slightly uncomfortable to sleep in, but came in handy today.
I would have slept with less if I didn't have to worry about someone climbing in my bed every night...
"Ken?" I heard a familiar voice.
"Oh, hey Irene." I said. Irene stood behind me, probably heading to my room. There was some sort of package in her hands.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
I just point towards the door.
"I didn't do anything!" Lily yelled.
"I don't believe you! How did you even get in?!" Iris argued.
The usually kind Iris was having a fight with Lily...since they're practically best friends it shows the effect of a beloved on a yandere.
It's just a small squabble. They'll be fine. The real question is how fine will my room be after they're done.
"I see..." Irene sweatdropped, before lightly giggling. "You got kicked out?"
"It was a tactical retreat." I stated.
Irene giggled once more. She got closer, giving me a light kiss.
"The party is going start in an hour." Irene stated. "When you can, change into this."
She handed the box to me.
"Christmas pajamas." She stated.
"It's a pajama party?" I asked.
"No, but we all are wearing festive things. You get pajamas. It's better than an ugly sweater, no?" Irene replied.
"True." I nodded.
"Though my Mother knits. She might have made you an ugly sweater." Irene added.
"Of course..." I sighed.
After Iris and Lily finished their squabble I changed into my Christmas pajamas. They had the Santa hat pattern across the pants and the shirt had an image of Santa on a sled in front of the moon. It also had a Santa hat which I placed upon my head.
I then ate breakfast before heading to where the party would be held. It was a medium-sized ballroom with a large Christmas tree in the center.
Under it were multiple different presents with different wrappings, all placed there from different people and to different people.
I noticed my smaller boxes, wrapped in a wrapping paper of my choosing. Hopefully they'll like them...
In the room there was a large table with multiple seats, and there was also a dance floor. Sitting at one of the head seats was Isabella.
Seeing me arrive, she stood up and walked over to me. "Ara Ara, are you excited, Ken?" She asked.
"I guess." I shrugged.
"I have something for you." She replied, pulling out an ugly sweater from who knows where.
It said Best Son-In-Law with a Christmas tree behind it.
"Look. The lights on the tree even light up." Isabella stated. She clicked a button on the ugly sweater and the lights on the Christmas tree lit up.
Okay, that's kind of cool. But it's also super embarrassing. Does she really want me to wear this...?
She handed it to me, an expectant look on her face. I sighed in defeat, putting it over my pajama shirt. At least I won't have to worry about being cold...
"Ara Ara, you look great." She smiled.
"Thanks..." I muttered.
The doors to the room opened as Irene, Iris, and Lily entered. Upon seeing me they started to giggle to my annoyance.
And then Isabella pulled out multiple more ugly sweaters she knitted, except these were for the girls. Their faces paled.
Heh.
As Isabella was placing the sweaters on them, the doors opened to reveal Erica and Yui.
Erica quickly grabbed her face, trying to keep in her laughter. Yui was less subtle and started laughing her ass off.
"Bahahahahaha!!!!" She laughed.
"Don't make me smack that smirk off of your face." I growled.
"Mhm, please do~" Yui grinned.
"Damn it, can't win against a masochist like you..." I mumbled.
"Pft-" Erica tried to keep it in, but was starting to fail.
"Oh, just on time!" Isabella said, sliding over. "I made some for you two as well!"
Their faces paled.
Why does Isabella have so many of these? Actually, why did she knit one for each person? I don't think I've even ever seen Isabella and Yui interact before...
The doors opened once more as Amber entered, immediately laughing at my predicament. She was starting to loose her breath.
"Oh my god, that's amazing!" She wheezed.
She's a wheezer apparently.
Isabella then dragged her off, placing her in an ugly sweater. They all wore ugly sweaters with their own unique designs on them.
"All right, almost everyone is here." Irene stated, now wearing an ugly sweater with the design of a non-Christmas tree and the words "First Daughter".
"Almost everyone?" I asked.
And then the doors opened, someone I didn't expect to see arrived.
"Bianca." I muttered in surprise. "You invited her?"
"Yes." Irene nodded.
Bianca came? I can think of only one reason, and that means that another one has been added...
Bianca walked up to us, examining our ugly sweaters. "Those are nice." She noted.
I couldn't tell if she was being serious or not.
"Oh, Bianca!" Isabella greeted. They knew each other? "I have one for you too!"
She handed it to Bianca, who stared at it for a couple seconds. It had the design of an intricate snowflake. It must have taken a while.
"Do you not like it...?" Asked Isabella with a sad tone.
Bianca put it on. "I love it." She muttered in a low voice.
Isabella heard it, and immediately her face brightened. "That's great! Now let's eat!"
Isabella grabbed another ugly sweater, except this time she put it on herself. We all ate at the table before taking a group photo.
We then sat on the floor in front of the Christmas trees, and started to unwrap the presents that we had gotten each other.
Isabella had given me a new scarf. As I was about to open Irene's, she suddenly whispered in my ear.
"It's a...private present for you. Open it in your room." She whispered.
Uh...okay...
It was a small box which was smaller than a shoe box but larger than a jewelry box. I wonder what it could be...?
I placed it to the side. I'd open it later like Irene instructed.
Iris got me some expensive and really nice slippers, Lily had gotten me an action figure of a character I liked from a game I played.
Erica got me a new game for my new YSquare. Amber got me some weights, and Yui got me a photo of us in a frame, which she had signed in the corner.
And then I opened Bianca's Christmas gift for me. It was a set of brass knuckles which I could easily slip onto my hands.
"For self defense." Bianca stated.
"But I have an Arcana? And multiple abilities?" I questioned.
"Self defense. Or you can give it to someone who you want to help protect that doesn't have an Arcana." Bianca stated.
"Wow...thanks." I smiled at the thought she had put into her strange gift.
And then we got to the point where they had to open my presents. Now I was glad I had gotten that extra necklace.
They all unwrapped their presents, discovering their corresponding necklace. They all stared at their own for a good while, before placing it into their necks.
Isabella opened hers, taking the necklace and pacing it on herself. "Ara Ara, thank you Ken."
The other girls stood up and surrounded me, staring down at me silently with unreadable expressions. Did they not like it...?
"We love you!" They cried out, jumping onto me.
"Ah! Wait! No! Stop!" I screamed as I was assaulted as they all jumped onto me.
"Ah, young love..." Sighed Isabella happily.

I stared myself in the mirror, looking at my face covered in different colored lipstick marks. There was so many kisses...
I washed the marks off of my face, before heading to my bed and sitting down. It was then I suddenly remembered Irene's present.
I pulled it out, unwrapping it to find a box. Opening it, I was met with a plethora of...cultured photos of Irene.
I silently placed the lid back on with a blush on my face. I need to hide this where none of the other girls can find it.
...
Best Christmas ever.
