[speaker hums a Christmas song]

…Oh!

You’re awake! Sorry, I was so in my own thoughts that I didn’t even notice you’d woken up.

I was just imagining how magical this Christmas is going to be…

I know we’ve celebrated together before, but that was with friends.

Being with a group of people doesn’t have the same kind of vibes that I was hoping for.

Your attention was this way, that way, all over the place.

But since it’ll just be the two of us this year, that means I get your attention all to myself!

Christmas wishes really do come true…

Oh, I hope the ribbon isn’t too itchy.

I would’ve gone with the traditional silky kind, but I thought that would be too easy for you to slip out of, so I went with the patterned glittery one instead!

I could’ve used regular rope I suppose, but where’s the fun in that?

You look a lot more festive in red ribbon!

***

What’s going on?

Oh, not much. I was just finishing putting up Christmas decorations.

Before you ask, you don’t have to help me out!

I’ve got a vision for this, and as you know, I like things to be as perfect as possible.

If you want, I can put a movie on for you?

Only a Christmas one though! Christmas cheer only!

***

Oh, you were talking about the ribbon?

Silly! Like I said, I was going to use the silky one, but it would just fall off.

No one likes seeing a present with the ribbon half off, do they?

That’s all messy, and not perfect at all.

Even if you’re 100% perfect, that just means everything around you has to be held to a higher standard…

Now that I’ve got you all to myself, I won’t let a single hair fall out of place.

This Christmas will be the best Christmas, for both of us!

***

Don’t yell!

Ah, sorry, here I am telling you not to yell while yelling.

But you don’t have to yell. You shouldn’t yell.

You can just ask me normally.

So. Ask me normally.

***

Thank you sweetie.

I resent being accused of tying you up though.

I’ve more… ‘dressed you up in your Christmas outfit’.

There, that sounds a lot better!

***

Oh, you only remember up to getting your coffee?

It’s okay. If you promise to take back what you said about being tied up, I can fill in the blanks between then and now for you.

***

Hmm~ Good.

I don’t want you being bad, do I?

That would mean I’d have to give you coal for Christmas, and that would clash with my theme.

Even without that issue, it would still make me sad to give you coal.

You deserve diamonds instead. I didn’t get them this year, but I’ll get them for you at one of our next Christmases…

***

Right, right, how I got you here.

It was rather simple what happened, no big story of my following you to a dark alleyway and knocking you out and dragging you back.

We both know how weak I am, so that would’ve never worked.

I went with a more… sneaky, easy solution.

I happened to also be at the café when you got your coffee – it is a place we often went together so it shouldn’t have been too surprising, but I was more surprised by the coincidence than I suppose you are right now.

I went over to you, asked how you were doing, then – of all things to work – made you look away with a lie to add a little something extra to your drink.

You were swaying to and fro in no time flat.

And since that café also serves liquor coffee, I just told them you were a lightweight and one of the workers even helped me take you out to my car.

Then I brought you home to get you ‘dressed up in your Christmas outfit’ and now we’re in the joyful present~

[speaker sighs]

It was all a bunch of strokes of luck, really.

I was planning this for much later date, when we got together with everyone else to exchange presents for Secret Santa…

But since I came across you right after getting everything I needed for my plan, I was able to pull it off without going through that pain!

Those people…

I put up with them because I wanted to be around you, but they are some of the worst human beings to ever walk the planet.

I tried to be nice to them like you asked me to. I really did.

Yet they still tried to exclude me. It was hard enough knowing you were off at college having your attention taken away by other people, but even when I finally had you back, at least one of them was trying to keep us apart by talking to you.

None of them spoke to me to make up for it.

Last time we did the Secret Santa they didn’t even include me in it.

You had to remind them, remember? They didn’t listen to me when I tried to tell them.

And all the person who was chosen as my secret santa got me was a box of socks. Specifically mismatched socks, even though I’d told them PLENTY of times I will only accept things that are PERFECT!

[speaker breathes shakily]

…I shouldn’t have been surprised. Everyone has always been like that to me.

Everyone but you…

You’re the one person who understands… the only other person who is completely perfect.

The one who won’t ignore me just because I have standards.

I don’t want to be left out again this year. I won’t.

Not when you’re here by my side.

You’re my perfect Christmas present… I love you…
