any thoughts on amasai, oumatsu, and naefuji (naegi / fujisaki?)
they're all very cute! i've answered an ask about amasai before (they're good traveling bros) and oumatsu has nice potential seeing that kaito respects kaede for her initiative and encourages her
and i have not seen a lot of makoto/chihiro but i always thought it was cute! their free time events are nice shipping fuel for that
jingle bells jingle bells naegi laid an egg so who's the father
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the-queen-junko wrote me a very cute and fluffy Christmas themed Naehiro fanfiction under the cut!!!

"Merry Christmas!"
Naegi was greeted by his classmates as he came in from the harsh storm, all but his front caked with snow. He blinked several times in surprise, seeing his peers with Santa hats filling up his living room.
"E-eh? What's going o-on?" He shook the snow off as best as he could, stepping into his house, unable to move much due to a large box in his arms that almost blocked his vision. "Why is everyone here?"
"A Christmas party, of course, Onii~" Komaru chimed as she helped brush snow off her older brother's shoulders and emptied out his hoodie of the white powder. "Remember? That's why you brought the cake!"
"O-oh, right!" Naegi watched her take the box and scurry over to the table, undoing the ribbon and opening it to reveal a huge, beautiful cake with lots of seasonal decorations.
"Merry Christmas, Naegi-Kun!" Maizono was the first to greet him, with Kirigiri on his right. "Thank you for getting the cake! Komaru-Chan made a lot of yummy food for us~"
"It was no problem," the boy smiled bashfully as Kirigiri brushed the last of the snow out of his hair. "Everyone from our class is here?"
"Yes. It seems even Togami-Kun is here," Kirigiri answered as he looked to the rich blond, looking grumpy as Asahina put a Santa hat on his head. "Come in, we've just started."
"Un~! We're gonna watch lots of Christmas movies and--"
"Naegi-Kun! You're late by at least three minutes! If you had taken a bicycle, then you would have arrived on time!" Ishimaru bellowed as he marched over. Mondo laughed as he watched the hall monitor lecture the other about attendance and as Asahina tried to put a little hat on Naegi's ahoge. The rest of their peers followed and surrounded him, pulling him into the party. He looked over his shoulder at a smaller boy whom was hiding behind him.
"Hey, kid, aren't you going to say 'hi' to him?" He shyly shook his head of tousled hair.
"N-no, it's alright... it's not as if he'd really notice," Chihiro mumbled. "I can always talk to him at school..." Mondo shrugged and answered to Ishimaru's call to pop in a movie. Chihiro stood awkwardly, now having nothing to hide behind and was about to sit on the couch when he looked up and saw Naegi talking to Leon and Junko, his heart skipping as the ahoge-boy smiled. Naegi really was amazing to everyone he met; his sheepish gestures and his bright laughter touched even the coldest of hearts.
If only I could talk to him more, Chihiro thought, blushing and went to find a place to sit to watch the movie.

"K-K-K-Komaru-San," Chihiro squeaked. He still wasn't used to speaking with girls. "I-is there anything that I c-can help you with...?" It didn't help that this was Naegi's sister, who shared his face.
"Yeah, sure," she beamed. "Could you bring this out to the table so we can start eating before presents?" She handed him a plate of cupcakes. He nodded timidly and carefully navigated his way out of the kitchen. As his heart was calming down and he set the plate down--
"Fujisaki-San!"
---it leaped back into his throat again as Naegi suddenly appeared before him, and he bolted back in surprise. "Merry Christmas," the other male smiled obliviously. Chihiro recomposed himself; although Naegi was also a boy, he was even more nervous around him than with a girl.
"M-m-merry Christmas, Naegi-Kun," he managed to say, looking down at his twiddling fingers. "T-thank you for letting us have a party at your house..."
"Ah, it's no problem," he laughed awkwardly. "I'm pretty sure that Enoshima-San would have insisted upon using my place, otherwise."
"D-did you not want us here? I'm so sorry...!"
"What? No, no, it's not like that at all! I like having you all over!" Chihiro mentally sighed in relief; he somehow knew that Naegi would say something like that. It comforted him. "My house is really small, though. I can't believe everyone can fit in here," he continued. "I'm really glad to see you all for the holidays."
"Me t-too." Slowly, he looked up and met eyes with the taller boy, who blinked once and kept smiling his friendly smile at Chihiro. "E-excuse me!!" Flustered, he retreated back to the kitchen. This is so silly! Why am I getting so many butterflies in my stomach?! he thought in embarrassment as he covered his face with his hands. It was Christmas night, and he'd managed to work up the courage to come to Naegi's house, with the help of Mondo. I'm still weak, aren't I? I can't even have a proper conversation with him for more than a couple of sentences... Stupid Naegi and his stupid face with his stupid, wonderful self and that smile.
Chihiro shook his head, slapping his face with his hands, and took a few deep breaths. I... I won't be weak! I'll be brave!! He walked back out to the living room to find that everyone was exchanging presents. Feeling his knees knock together, he drank water and picked up a present from under the tree, then walked around everyone. He was the shortest of the bunch, but he was able to spot an ahoge. "N-Naegi-Kun!"
"Fujisaki-Kun?"
"Chihiro-Kun!"
"Ah, it's Chichi!"
With Maizono on his other side, he saw Junko with him, who was using Naegi as an armrest with a drink in the other hand. Chihiro felt slightly intimidated by the model's presence, with her always-plotting eyes and her ever-present smirk. "Hey, Chichi! Wat'cha need?"
"Do you want to talk with us, Fujisaki-Kun?" Naegi asked. "Enoshima-San and Maizono-San were telling me all about what's happening in their workplace with Christmas stuff!"
"There were so many sales at the malls! But, I couldn't stop to shop," Junko pouted. "Then again, my designer lines were all there, so there's not much point!" she laughed. "I kept hearing Sayaka's songs wherever I walked."
"Ah, yes! I released a Christmas album the week before, and it just got really popular," the blue-haired girl giggled as she ate a cupcake. "I really like your clothes, Junko-Chan! I bought a few outfits, myself."
"Ha, ha! Don't go stealing my ideas, now! I thought an idol had a designer make all of their clothes!"
"What have you been doing lately, Chihiro-Kun?"
"I-I...!" The two girls were complete social butterflies, and he wasn't able to get a word in. No, I can't let myself get scared! I can do this...! He shut his eyes tightly, his face heating up as he stuttered; "I-I want to talk to Naegi-Kun a-a-alone!!" He hesitantly looked up at the group, seeing two pairs of slightly-surprised blue eyes.
"Sure, go crazy," the strawberry blonde shrugged as she slid off of Naegi and shifted to Maizono, who just smiled and nodded with understanding.
"Should we talk in the hallway?" Naegi suggested. Chihiro nodded meekly. They slipped away from the party and out to the quiet, empty area next to the stairs. "What is it that you wanted to talk about?" he questioned naively. Chihiro took some more breathes as he closed his eyes.
"Merry Christmas! I-I like you!" He bowed his head, holding out the present to him. Naegi blushed and took a step back, surprised that this was what he had to say. "I'm sorry! It's probably a huge nuisance for someone like me to say that to you, but...!"
"F-Fujisaki-San! Don't say something like that! I l-l-l-like you, too!" His face blossomed with bright red as Naegi touched his hands, and took the gift with shaking fingers. Chihiro straightened up, listening to him take the lid off. Naegi gasped softly, seeing a soft, hand-knitted scarf.
"I'm sorry! It's bad and it's really crudely done, I know! I can't knit or do anything at all, but--"
"Thank you," Naegi interrupted him as he carefully pulled it out of the box and put it around his neck. He set the box on a nearby half-table and nuzzled his face into the wool. "it's so warm. I like it. Thank you!" He flashed his killer smile. "I've never gotten anything handmade, before! Thank you so much!"
"D-don't mention it..." Chihiro twiddled his thumbs as silence filled the hallway.
"Aah! I didn't get a present for you," Naegi realized, now feeling guilty and flustered.
"N-no, it's fine! Please don't worry about me! I would have been fine with anything!" He quickly assured the brunet. Naegi thought for a while, turning red as well.
"R-really? Then... what about this?" He leaned forward shyly and touched his lips gently to the shorter boy's forehead, making them both turn redder than Rudolph's nose. "M-merry Christmas, Fujisaki-Kun."
"M-m-m-m-m-m...!" The heat got to his head, and he fainted.
