Muse's Christmas Wishes

[eighteen_winters]

What do I want for Christmas? you really should have asked me that a few weeks ago... But if your forcing me to tell you now, I guess I'd like to see daddy again. Then, if just for a little while, my whole family could be together again.

If you can't do that, I'd just like a date with Shirou. You can do that much, right?

[there are so many sad/worrying things in this post]

I'm sorry I'm not there to spend it with you, Illya...

[eighteen_winters]

Daddy!

[Illya hugs Kiritsugu.]

It is OK, things are all right with just me, mommy, and Shirou.

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu lets out a chuckle, putting his hand on top of Illya's head. He missed this. A reassuring nod.]

Shirou's a brave boy. He'll protect both of you.

[He will, after all, protect everyone... He told him so. Shirou will succeed where he didn't.]

Be sure to do my share of celebrating, okay?

[eighteen_winters]

Ok! I'll make sure to...

[Illya's voice grows sullen. It really wouldn't be the same without her father there to.]

Good singing.

[Well, you did catch him in an extremely good mood.]

Here's what you do. You find your mun. You get him to write an app. There. Bam. And if you hurry, you might make it in time for New Year's.

You mean Kariya? I think he just wants Sakura to be happy. It is a little creepy sometimes.

Where is that kid, anyway? You want me to drag him out for you?

[eighteen_winters]

I don't know... My mun is very worried about it though. She doesn't want to have to find me another Shirou.

[puppy_lancer]

Would be a shame if she did. I liked that Shirou kid.

[He slowly shakes his head.]

At least you've got your mom, right?

[eighteen_winters]

I love my mommy. But if Shirou leaves now I'll never be able to confess to him.

[puppy_lancer]

You've been saving up until now?

[He chuckles.]

I bet he'd enjoy that present!

[eighteen_winters]

Knowing Shirou, he'll think I'm just making fun of him.

[puppy_lancer]

If you say it sincerely enough, I doubt even he can be so dense as to think it a joke.
