Every year for Christmas the four of them got together, Richard stubbornly refusing to let the holiday be ruined by their shitty childhoods. And so it became a tradition for the Moran twins to cook breakfast while Richard and Jim tried to keep each other from getting into the presents. Every year breakfast consisted of pancakes made by Severin, blueberry for everyone except Richard, who got chocolate chip. As well as ham, hashbrowns, and eggs made by Sebastian. Once breakfast was finished being eaten they switched to presents, as one of the Moriarty-Brook twins might self destruct if forced to wait any longer.
Richard went first every year as Jim swore he wasn't interested in presents and the like, though they all knew that was a lie. Richard tore into the first present which was a kids candy making kit. It was bought partly as a joke, but with the knowledge that Richard would probably still use it. The other gift was a fuzzy red jumper and matching fuzzy socks. Richard immediately pulled on the sweater and put the socks on, thanking Sebastian as he did because they all knew he was the actual gift giver. Part of the reason they always did two gifts is because Jim and Severin always bought joke or insulting gifts. So Richard and Sebastian decided two gifts would probably be wise.
Next up was Severin. He got a tile tracking kit, which Seb knew atleast one of the trackers would probably get used on Richard. As well as a French press coffee maker. He glared at Jim for that.
"My coffee isn't that bad."
"Lies. It's so disgusting it almost put me off the stuff entirely."
Sebastian grabbed his first gift, wondering if there was a chance of them getting through Christmas without a fight for once. Opening the gift quickly dashed that plan as he pulled out a frying pan and his brother started laughing.
"Figured you could use a new one after you burnt the crap out of dinner the other night."
"Oh I'll need a new one when I break this one over your damn head!"
Richard threw Sebastian's next gift at him to break up the fight. The Moran brothers shared a look saying 'this isn't over' before Seb opened his next present. Upon seeing the striped orange monstrosity he laughed, holding it up for Jim to see.
" You sure this is for me? I think seeing me in it is a gift to Jim."
"Oh tiger, now you have the fur to match your name."
It was finally Jim's turn, he tore into the first gift pulling out a fake retractable knife which had Severin laughing once again.
"Now next time you say you want to stab me you can really do it boss!"
"I hope you realize that toy or not I could gut you like a fish with it right now."
Richard climbed into Severin's lap, trying to put himself in the middle of the fight.
"Open your next gift Jim! You still have one more!"
Richard seemed far too excited about the next gift. Severin wrapped his arms around his boyfriend protectively, making sure Richard didn't bounce out of his lap with excitement. Jim gave a dramatic sigh before opening the last package. He stared at it confused, holding it up to see if Sebastian could work out what it was.
"Uhh, looks kinda like a bear?"
"Helpful Sebastian. Well if it's a bear it's completely the wrong colors."
Jim glared at the black and white bear. Richard, on the other hand, was barely being contain by Severin he was so excited.
"It's monokuma the bear from danganrompa! Sev and I just finished watching it and you would totally be him! It's perfect for you!"
Jim was unconvinced and continued to stare at it in distain. Severin sighed before explaining a bit more, as Richard seemed to be upset that Jim didn't know who the bear was.
"Monokuma is a psycho bear who got a bunch of people to kill each other just for shits and giggles. He's obsessed with causing despair and chaos."
Jim grinned at that, pulling open the pajamas to put them on as Sebastian already had with his own tiger ones.
"Well if that's the case, I suppose I wouldn't mind wearing it. Just for today."
