Day 358 Bonus - Christmas

Christmas - time for giving, receiving and spending time with friends.

And Kuroko had a lot of friends. Again, they all decided to meet and spend some time together. But this time, out side, at a festival for the holiday. Everyone was dressed properly, the puppies calmly walking next to their humans so as not to get lost in the crowd. Only Aomine seemed a bit weird as he brought a basketball along with himself. Like always.

The friends went along the stands, being swept by the mass of people. Sometimes they would stop for food, other times to play a game.

"We should get together like that more often!" Kise proposed excitedly.

"We're in different schools with different schedules. It's kinda impossible." Aomine grumbled, spinning the ball on his finger.

"Dai-chan, will you stop playing with the ball?" Momoi pouted.

"And what, play along with you?" He asked, smirking. The girl rolled her eyes and hit him on the head.

"Behave." Midorima said. "Don't create a scene."

"Like this?" Kise asked, laughing as he jumped on Midorima's back. The boy just sighed.

"Yes Midorima, as a Christmas present, I want you two give me a piggy back ride everywhere." Takao also jumped on him. "I can't be the only one to drive you everywhere."

"I don't want to walk alongside such little kids as you." Kuroko deadpanned and Momoi was immediately running towards him, linking their arms.

"Let's go somewhere, just the two of us." She said cheerfully.

"Oi, don't steal her all to yourself, Kuroko!" Aomine yelled. The whole group of humans had suddenly gotten quite wild and noisy.

And their puppies weren't about to tolerate such behavior.

"Want to go somewhere else?" Yoshi asked the group.

"To the big shining tree!" Choco barked excitedly, jumping up and down. The others agreed and so six puppies weaved into the big sea of humans, turning their backs to their own humans.

But two humans saw them and decided to follow them.

"Where do you think they are going?" Riko asked, a bit shy since she wasn't that close to Murasakibara and suddenly the atmosphere was weird. To her at least. The boy, too focused on his food, didn't seem to notice.

"The Christmas tree. Choco really liked it when we passed it." He said nonchalantly. And the pups really walked in that direction.

Once there, as if they were little kids, they ran towards it, easily walking between people's legs and getting right under it. Murasakibara and Riko couldn't follow them though so they stayed behind, hoping the puppies wouldn't get lost.

"Don't worry." Murasakibara said. "If I yell 'chocolate chips' he will jump and bark unless I yell 'eaten'. It's our code when we need to find each other."

"Clever." Riko admitted.

"Hey, where is Riko?" Kagami suddenly asked.

"Murasakibara is gone too..." Tatsuya said.

"They went somewhere with the puppies." Akashi said calmly, eating a tangerine. Deciding that no one would get lost, the group decided to continue on with their walk. Momoi sent a message to Riko, just to be sure.

Fifteen minutes later the two groups were still separated. But there was a big change. Suddenly, something white began falling from the sky.

"Guys, snow!" Kise yelled excitedly.

"Snow! The white floating stuff." Choco barked.

Everyone looked to the sky, humans and puppies alike. There really were small floating things, cold and falling the the ground.

"Let's go have a snow fight!" Aomine proposed.

"You need more slow than this for that." Midorima rolled his eyes.

"There will be enough eventually. We can play basketball till then."

Riko got a message from Momoi, reading it and learning their plan.

"They are going to play basketball until there's enough snow to play with."

"Oh, good idea." Murasakibara said. Before he could yell for Choco, the pup himself let the puppies to them. And so they also went to where they friends were going.

By the time they got there, the snowing had gotten a lot stronger. It wasn't melting so the group of friends could actually make a few snow balls and fight with them. When Riko, Midorima and the puppies arrived, Aomine and Kise were actually making a small snowman. Yoshi jumped right at him and made it fall.

"It's time then." Aomine said.

"To battle!" Kise yelled as he made a ball and threw it as Midorima.

"Oi! Behave yourself." The boy shrieked from the cold.

"Your puppy ruined our snowman." Kise defended himself.

"It wasn't much of a snowman anyway." Murasakibara said. Which, of course, moved the attack to him.

There rarely was a white Christmas in Japan. But this group of friends made the most of it, enjoying every snowflake that fell to the ground. Or even if it didn't reach the ground. The puppies jumped at every small pile of snow, making themselves white with snow. Which then ended up on the humans anyway.

And through all of this, Chi preferred to hide in Midorima's (and on some instants, Akashi's and Kuroko's) collars. Snow wasn't really her thing, she liked the warm much better. And the puppies, for her liking.

Once the fireworks began, Midorima had to endure the pain of the kitten's claws, too. As if the children he was surrounded with weren't enough...

MERRY CHRISTMAS <3
