Like a wine-drunk elephant floating through the interstellar hyperspace, the week between Christmas and New Years is probably one of the most surreal times of the year. The concept of time lapses with no real corporeality, and the days are neither here, there, nor anywhere. Everything exists in a limbo where the minutes pass like hourly seconds, and the seconds pass by in the whirlwind of a flash, caught up in all those hyperactive festivities Atsumu has, once again, over-committed the two of you to.
Whenever December rolls around and Atsumu comes back with a sickeningly sweet smile and an entire cake from that one Ginza pastry shop that costs half a kidney, you know you’re in for another round of year-end diplomacy. To his credit, he’s always reminded you that you never have to attend any of his events, but you know for a fact that everyone else’s partners will show up. And, honestly, the bottom line is that you want to support your lover’s career in any way you can.
So that’s why, this year, you’re once again in the crowd of the Christmas All-Star game and MSBY holiday meet-and-greets. You dressed up for his sponsors’ year-end galas, and stayed up all night ghost writing the Hallmark cards for him to copy.
(Atsumu used to “write” his own cards until you found out that all he did was scrawl his signature over the entire page, the page opposite to where people normally write their greetings.)
But while it was cute seeing pig-tailed toddler tug on his Santa beard and as much as you loved devouring fancy canapés with Bokuto during these events, it’s the aggregated stress of constantly smiling for the press and dealing with the aftermath of Atsumu sending Adidas the undiplomatic Christmas card meant for Argentina that did you in this time.
Which is why, on New Year’s Eve, you’ve announced your strike on holiday festivities and called an emergency baking session.
