Secret Santa Gift Exchange!!!

[kenmya]

I'm so so sorry I didn't get this up until now I've been so so sick orz;;;; FORGIVE ME FRIENDS

This takes place the same day as Atobe's fashion show. During the afterparty, there will be a game for exchanging gifts.

Person A will start things off by describing the person they bought the gift for (Person B for the sake of simplicity). The first person to guess that the recipient is Person B will then do the describing next. (And A will give the gift to B.) (Also, crediting Saaya for the idea of the game♥)

Of course, you COULD forgo this entirely but....

There will also be a couple threads for mingling and such.

Have fun!

Makishima turned his head in surprise when it was announced that they had to play a guessing game in order to give their secret santa presents. He hadn't heard about this. He wouldn't have signed up if he knew... Actually, him signing up was quite an odd thing in the first place, but T-- well, some people kept bothering him about it that it was quicker to sign up than to say no every time.

He started to think if he should slip away in the middle of the party and go home, but he'd feel bad for the person he was giving it to. Maybe he should put it down on the table somewhere... But anyone could've taken it and she could miss it altogether.

In the middle of his thoughts, he saw a blonde girl a few meters from him, and after some seconds of looking at her, he realized she was his secret santa recipient. Makishima didn't know her personally, she went to another school and even if they'd gone to the same one he doubted they'd be friends, but she seemed nice and it would make him feel guilty if she hadn't gotten her gift. He passed a tongue over his lips as he walked a little closer, put himself half a meter away from her, and leaned in forward to tap her shoulder lightly with his index finger.

Yachi was in awe by the many people attending the fashion show after party. Which was a good idea, everyone who worked hard in the show deserved to celebrate the amazing show that they put on. What surprised the blonde was the guessing game for the Secret Santa exchange. She thought about joining in but she was terrible at playing guessing games and gave out the most obvious hints ever.

As Yachi stood to the side, contemplating on joining the game she could feel a light tap on her shoulder, which startled the girl and made her jump. Her head slowly turned to the tall man with long green hair with red streaks. "Ah, um, Makishima-san, right?"

She didn't know him very well and a part of her was worried she might have even gotten his name wrong. Yachi only knew him from being friends with him through the journals and his appearance stood out to her. She lightly tilted her head, a little confused as to why he would talk to her. Not that she minded, because Yachi was always up for making more friends. "... Um... hi, what's up?" She awkwardly asked while wanting to face palm, mentally. Yachi was terrible at starting conversations with people she didn't know well.

He was quite surprised that Yachi knew his name, as they had never talked before. But then, looking at her confused face, Makishima was starting to regret to have made a direct contact with the girl. Maybe he should've give the present to Kuroo, who seemed to know the girl, and ask him to pass it to her. Why didn't he think of that earlier?

He gulped, looked at her briefly, then threw his gaze elsewhere as he moved a festive orange-pink-green-violet paper bag from his back to the front. "Hi, um, Yachi?" He greeted, not used to using suffixes whatsoever. "I, uh, I'm your secret santa, sho."

Yachi's eyes widened in awe at the pretty colored paper bag that Makishima was holding in front of her. Being an art student, she enjoyed seeing different colors, she had gotten a little sick of seeing so much green and red after being an Elf for Ho Mall. "What a pretty bag..."

"R-Really?" She shyly responded, while looking up at the much taller man. "That is so sweet of you! You really didn't have to do anything for me." Quite honestly, Yachi wasn't expecting anything from her secret Santa, so it was a nice surprise to see the gift from the unexpected person.

She gently grabbed onto the bag, and her fingers lightly prodded it open while moving the tissue paper out of the way. "I'm so excited! I can't wait to see what's in here..."

Makishima's eyes widened, eyebrows raised, as if he didn't expect that response. He shrivelled a little as subtly, subconsciously, he moved a few centimeters away from the girl, eyes peeking toward the exit a couple of times. It wasn't that he didn't like her, in fact she seemed like a very sweet girl, but he just wasn't very comfortable with new people.

"Uh, I'm--I'm not sure what you like," he said, his voice unsure. He'd seen in her blog that she liked stars, so he'd just sort of tried to find something with stars in it. He observed her prodding the bag, both kind of regretting he hadn't walked away when he had the chance, but also a little excited to see her reaction.

(ooc: Yachi will find this inside. I'm so sorry...)

As she was opening the bag, Yachi had no idea what to expect, especially considering that she didn't know Makishima but as soon as she saw the galaxy patterned arm warmers, her eyes widened. "Oh my gosh..." Yachi slowly started as she held them in her hands "This is the prettiest thing I have seen!! I've always wanted a pair of arm warmers." She exclaimed, almost as if she had stars in her eyes.

There was a slight blush on Yachi's cheeks, like Makishima she wasn't good with strangers and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed acting so excited in front of someone she didn't know. "Sorry for acting like a crazy person but words can't express how much I love these," There was a small smile on the blonde's face as she lightly fidgeted in her spot.

"Thank you, Makishima-san..."

Makishima's eyes widened, not expecting that reaction, but actually he didn't even know what he'd expected. He felt a flash of warmness inside his chest as he felt the side of his neck heating up. "Um-- oh," he said, gulping down while he stared at the girl, dumbfounded and stumbling upon a reply. What did people say in this situation? "Um, you're... uh," he said quietly, tugging a strand of his hair behind his ear. "You're welcome, sho." Did that sound right? "I'm glad.. you liked it." He had to look down to her feet, unable to look at her directly.

He was, however, closing in on his limit. He felt his toes started to fidget inside his shoes and his fingers were now starting to play with one another. Gulping down once again, he said, "Well, um. Then." His sentence stopped there, but he took a step backward from the girl.

Makoto stood off to the side, a small box in hand. He'd come because he really did need to be more social and a Christmas party with a Secret Santa gift exchange seemed perfect. Too bad he'd had no clue who his person was. Even looking on journals hadn't been helpful and he wasn't entirely sure he'd be able to find the person, whoever this Yuuji was, easily or at all.

Which is how he found himself off to the side even though he knew he needed to get out there more. With that thought in mind, he made up his mind and took a few steps forward...only to bump into someone almost immediately.


[ooc: feel free to have anyone jump in as a reply!]

Kenma startled at the sudden contact, blinking wide eyes up at the other person. He averted his gaze immediately as he slid his phone back into his pocket.

"Um...excuse me...," Kenma mumbled an apology softly, shifting a little where he stood.
