Lu Shaotang Christmas headcanons
A/n: I'm not entirely sure where this idea came from, I just didn't want things to get boring by only writing for the same couple fandoms over the holidays. I hope you all enjoy!
-Apart from your birthday, Christmas is the only time period where Lu actually puts in an effort at work. This is because she wants to make sure she has enough money toget you a present that properly shows how much she loves you, rather than just buying you something from a bargain bin or whatever's leftover at the store. She's also not above sucking up to Mr. Sakamoto for a big Christmas bonus, even if it rarely works.
-She always has Shin nearby when she asks you what you want for Christmas, either having him hide somewhere or pretending to be distracted by work if she asks you at the store. This is so that, even if you insist you don't want anything or try to keep it a secret, he can use his mind-reading powers to tell her what you really want after you've left. He always refuses to tell her what you got her, though, no matter how hard she whines or begs. He might be a hitman, but he isn't a snitch.
-For Christmas, Taro usually invites you and Lu over to the store for a Christmas party, which she actually cleans up nicely for. She wears the blue dress she wore in the casino arc along with some matching eyeliner. She may dress casually most of the time, but she knows how to put in an effort when it counts.
-At the party itself, Lu is the type to head straight for the booze. While she's able to limit herself before dinner, once she's finished eating, she turns into a drunken mess. Slurring her words during karoake, laughing at the smallest things or even nothing at all, and clinging to you like a koala, insisting that you have to kiss her because you're stood under the mistletoe. If you point out that the only mistletoe is halfway across the room from you, she gives you a pout and puppy dog eyes that are usually cute enough for you to kiss her anyway.
-Lu's preferred Christmas movies are light-hearted comedies like Elf and Jingle All the Way. This is both because those kinds of films have simple enough plots for her to follow even when she's intoxicated, and because if she watches something even a little emotional in her durnken state, she usually ends up sobbing like a baby and you have to hold her for hours to comfort her.
-For presents, she usually puts in the least amount of effort for Shin, claiming she didn't know what to get him even if he tells her directly, which makes him question why he helps her every year. Next on the list is Heisuke, she claims she didn't have much money to buy him a present, since she also bought some food for Piisuke, but he seems more than happy with the pork buns she gives him.
-Aside from you, Lu puts in the most effort into her gift-giving to the Sakamotos, because she wants to make little Hana happy and because she worries he might fire her if she gets them a bad gift, no matter how much you tell her he would never do that. She buys a bunny plushie for Hana and a bouquet of flowers for Aoi. She doesn't really know what kind of things Taro likes, since he doesn't talk much, and usually gets him some food or something food-related. He doesn't mind, though, since seeing his fmaily so happy with their gifts or more than enough for him.
-As for you, she puts in the most effort, and actually gets you two presents. As well as what Shin told her you wanted, she also gets you a jacket that matches hers in your favourite colour. She presents it to you proudly, stating that since you always compliment her on hers, now you can look as cute as her. She also asks you repeatedly to put it on so that she can see how it looks on you, and expects you to wear it every time the two of you go out together.
-After the gift giving is done, Lu usually falls asleep shortly after, with you having to carry her back to your place or Heisuke helping you carry her on your shoulders. When you make it back home, you collapse onto the couch, with Lu taking the opportunity to cuddle into you, As she nuzzles into you, she gets all giddy as she gushes about how much she loves you and wants to spend the rest of her life with you...shortly before whining about how much money she had to spend on gifts for everyone. She soon falls asleep in your arms in a drunken stupor, as you stroke her back and kiss her head, promising to spend the rest of your life with her as well.
