Christmas

The children's favorite season, when the city is painted white and everyone receives gifts.

The perfect excuse for parents to convince their children to behave.

“If you're bad, Santa Claus won't bring you a present.”

All children believe in Santa, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny. Until, without knowing when, the day arrives where the magic disappears and you accept that maybe they are just fairy tales.

“We need to talk”

The words that always make your heart race, and Katsuki, your husband, changed his expression instantly—a worried look that he only wears when he hears the seriousness in your voice.

They were finishing dinner when you took him by the arm and locked yourselves in the bathroom to speak in private, far from the curious ears of their twins.

— It's about Kyomi and Kaito… I heard them making a plan before bed.

Katsuki frowned in confusion; your serious voice made him worry as if it were a bomb.

— They're going to set a trap for Santa, they want to see when he brings them their gifts.

As soon as he heard your words, he burst out laughing because of the seriousness in your voice, but both of you had always protected their children's innocence.

It's still funny to remember how Katsuki hit Denki when he dared to tell Kyomi that the tooth fairy didn't exist, but in the end, they convinced her it was a joke.

The night of the 24th arrived; Kyomi and Kaito were asleep in their room. They tried to stay awake, but sleep won.

But they were smart; they “hid” their tablet in a corner of the room, with a direct view of the Christmas tree. They wanted to catch Santa live and in person; there was no way you two could appear and ruin their belief, they were still small.

Katsuki observed the tablet in the corner from afar, both of you leaning against the wall while thinking about what to do.

— Do you have a plan? — he whispered while glancing at you from the corner of his eye.
