Wataru Sasaki sighed as he relaxed his shoulders, it had been a long time since he relaxed like this, normally he wouldn't be so comfortable as to have his guard down but he figured that today of all days could be an exception, it was his friends' wedding after all.

Practically everyone on the force in both Niigata and Kanazawa had been eagerly following Seiji's whirlwind romance with Shinagawa's CEO ever since it had been revealed of their entanglement, Wataru couldn't count the amount of times he had to snap at Joey to stop gossiping with Lyall on the phone and get back to work, but admittedly, he himself was surprised by the whole situation, even more so when the babies came and wedding invitation were sent out.

However, after witnessing the ceremony that would bind two of his closest friends together in holy matrimony, any doubts were erased completely from his mind, it was clear to even a blind person how much Seiji and Miho loved one another so fiercely and passionately, it was enough to move half the audience to tears, hell, it even managed to tug on Wataru's own heartstrings just a little.

Now, as the reception was winding down and the earlier excitement had shifted into something more calm and peaceful, Wataru took it as his chance to give the happy couple his wishes and his gift, to which he had the mental note to thank his mother for the idea when he gets home.

Approaching said couple who still looked just as happy and utterly in love with each other as they were when they were at the alter, Wataru politely cleared his throat and gave them a small smile. "Lovely ceremony, you two, congratulations on your marriage, you especially, Seiji, you've really caught yourself a one in a kind woman, hold onto her tight, okay?"

"And Miho, you look absolutely stunning, its no wonder how Seiji fell for you so quickly, I can say with utmost confidence that you've got yourself a good man who will go to the ends of the earth to make you happy." Wataru nodded towards Seiji before turning attention to the two large boxes that rested in front of him.

"I wasn't sure if you two have received anything like this yet but I figured that you couldn't go wrong with having a spare or two."

Inside the large boxes revealed...

...Two royal princely decorated car seats.

“Look at that, boys,” Seiji motioned to the seats. “All for your chubby little selves.”

The twins looked unimpressed as they stared at the matching car seats. It was hilarious at how fast they glanced at them before turning their attention to the stuffies Yuriko had given them earlier. Chewing on them to their hearts content.

“You two are so dramatic.” Seiji amusingly huffed. “I wonder where you two get it from.”

“Wonder what, dear?” Miho questioned as she returned from thanking more guests.

“Where the boys got their dramaticness cause it certainly can’t be from us.” Seiji explained as he watched the twins light up at the sight of their mother reaching out their arms for her to hold them.

“They’re babies, Seiji. I think they’re allowed to be a little dramatic. Don’t you loves?” Miho giggled as the twins babbled and screeched in response.

Today was the first year anniversary of when they got married.

Just the thought was almost enough to make A.D.A. overwhelmed with emotion but she shoved it down, it could wait until she was perfectly snugged in her husband's arms.

She smoothed down her beautiful blue gown, she was surprised when Malphas sent it to her but it only served to add to her excitement for what may come. The hardest part was distracting Kaoru long enough for her to leave the house, thankfully her sister A.M.U. and twin brother A.R.K. volunteered to cover for her, the latter knowing how much this meant to his twin sister and because A.D.A. threatened to transfer his consciousness into a Tickle Me Elmo doll.

Fortunately, it didn't take A.D.A. long to reach the place where Malphas wanted them to meet up, the sight of the large cathedral-like building took her nonexistent breath away, she walked up to the door, prepared to knock but was startled when the door opened by itself, walking inside, her eyes glittered and shined at the whole place decorated in a romantic and borderline sensual way, it felt like a scene out of a movie.

"Hello there, pretty butterfly."

A.D.A. whipped her head around and she couldn't stop a smile forming on her face when she saw her husband smiling not his usual smirk, but smiling a genuine loving smile at her, he was dresses very refined and A.D.A. didn't even bother hiding the way her eyes ran over him hungrily making Malphas snort and roll his eyes fondly at his wife.

"Take a picture, Princess, though I'm sure your storage has to be full already."

"Ha! Never, I can have never enough of you...and our babies." A.D.A. grinned and threw her arms around Malphas in a hug, one he gladly returned, the blue haired android sighed happily, burying her face into the male's chest and inhaling his intoxicating scent.

"You and your seventy-one photo albums." Malphas muttered as he rested his head on top of hers, chuckling when A.D.A. huffed and pinched his side both knowing that it did absolutely nothing to the raven haired male.

"Seventy-two."

"Of course, babe, now c'mon, believe it or not, I actually have something more planned than just a nightly rendezvous." Malphas tapped A.D.A.'s waist, signaling her to let go to which the butterfly pouted and relented, switching to hold his hand as he guided her further into the building.

"How did you even find this place?" She questioned, looking around in awe, Malphas smirked lightly, satisfied that his work was being well appreciated. "Believe it or not, this used to be a Church, that shitty priest from Ginza commissioned this building to be another one of his churches but Scorpion Den quickly shut that shit down, now its another one of their bases, or at least it will be soon but for now it belongs to us."

A.D.A. hummed in response, her mind created a mental image of her husband tearing through Crossroads goons with frightening ease, the sight only filling her with desire for the male next to her.

The pair entered a room that looked similar to a nest, completed with fairy lights and a large bed with many blankets and pillows. "I figured we can skip the whole wining and dining and get right into what you like the most, the gifts."

Sitting on the bed and pulling A.D.A. onto his lap, to which the female giggled at, Malphas proceeded to place gift after gift on her lap.

Starting with a bouquet of blue butterflies, they fluttered their gently as they sat on glowing iridescent flowers.

Then there was a beautiful and intricate photo album filled with photos dating back to the start of their relationship to their wedding photos and when their children were first born.

Malphas smiled. "Aiko actually made this so its more of a gift from her than anything but I figured you'd want a physical copy, its only activated by either you or me so you don't have to worry about Kaoru or anyone else looking through it."

Next was something that took her by surprise, A.D.A.'s eye widen as a glowing purple necklace was placed onto her open palm, faintly buzzing and almost pulsing with pure energy. The blunette female turned it over again and again, fascinated with the piece of jewelry, however, there was something...familiar about the energy it gave off, A.D.A. had felt this before, during the one time where she was-

"Mal!" She gasped, turning to look at him with wide eyes, as to confirm if this is what she thought it was. "Is this-"

"A piece of my core inside a necklace? Yep and before you worry, no, I'm not in pain or anything though it was a bit jarring removing a piece of myself. I want you to have this, A.D.A., there's no one I trust more to have my life in their hands than you." Malphas placed a kiss on her head and the overwhelming feelings A.D.A. felt came back with a vengeance, tears springing up in her eyes.

"M-mal..." She whimpered, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face in his neck, the dress, the nest, the gifts, the necklace, it was all too much, Malphas only squeezed her in a hug of reassurance and held her, allowing her to get her feelings off her chest as she cried. "There there, Princess, take all the time you need." He murmured.

After a couple of moments, A.D.A. took a breath and wiped her tears, finally calming down from her brief moment of emotional overload. "Sorry..." She sheepishly smiled at him and Malphas only chuckled. "Maybe I should've slowed down a little, but there's one more gift I need to give you."

"There's more?!" A.D.A. gawked, "Mal, you've given me so much! I'm getting spoiled here!"

"Then I'm doing my job right, that's my duty as your husband after all." Malphas laughed before moving A.D.A. off his lap and all the gifts away to a safe place, the female android was much too busy admiring her new necklace when Malphas pulled out a glowing blue vial.

As much as perverted criminal A.R.K. is, he sure knows how to put his mind into something when he was determined, Malphas made a mental note to thank him later...if he could remember by the time they were done. Popping open the cap, he poured the entirety of the vial in his mouth, holding the liquid in (and cringing at the overly sweet taste) and walking over to A.D.A., taking her by the chin and catching her by surprise when he smashed his lips against hers, prying her mouth open and transferring the liquid from his mouth to hers, forcing her to swallow.

After a few moments of making out, the two parted ways, leaving a thin trail of saliva connecting their mouths, A.D.A. panted heavily as her face flushed a deep red, squirming under Malphas' predatory gaze. "Mal..?" She questioned.

Malphas said nothing as he clipped the necklace around her neck and pinned her down onto the bed, using one hand to loosen his tie, he smirked down at his wife and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"How many do you think I can put in you, twins? Triplets? Quadruplets? Let's find out."

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MALADA MY SHAYLAAAAAAAS 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜

MINORS DO NOT INTERACT MATURE CONTENT AHEAD

The first item was a collection of different scented candles with the names of different goddesses labeled on them.

The second item was a small nightlight shaped like a full moon, the light giving off a warm and comforting glow.

The third and final item was 3 small vials filled with various herbs, plants, and dried up fruit, Miku quickly recognized this as a blessing jar.

After putting all the gifts away, Miku noticed that there was a note at the bottom of the box, pulling it out, she began to read through it.

“Happy Birthday, Shirazuki-San.

We don’t talk much but we have a few classes together, sorry if this comes off as weird but I knew it was your birthday and wanted to send you a gift, I hope you like them or at least don’t find them too creepy. Once again, happy birthday and I hope you have a good day/night.

— Kureha Koizumi.”

Happy Birthday Miku! 🩵

Miku blinked, her eyes traveling back and forth between the moon lamp in front of her and the moon lamp that was already on her bedside table.

It’s the exact same model…

After some time to think it over, she simply shrugged. Maybe it won’t hurt to just keep a second one around.

Miku’s eyes travelled to the vials of herbs, plants, and dried fruits. Without realizing, the corners of her lips lifted into a small smile.

Well it’s too bad I already performed my circle for the day, I kinda want to do another one with these candles and blessing jars.

It was a brand new tea set, handcrafted and beautifully made that it genuinely made the man impressed by how high quality it is, Saigo looked at the gift to see if there was any indication of who sent it and sure enough there was a letter attached inside the box.

‘Fuyugami-san, right?

To be completely honest, I’ve never heard of you and I’m sure you’ve never heard of me but since it was your name I got for this whole secret santa thing, I thought I might as well introduce myself, the name’s Lola Takahashi, hope you enjoy your gift. Merry Christmas.’

Taking a closer look at the intricate paintings on the tea set, the ex-tycoon now-turned property appraiser nodded in satisfaction as he knew that there was still someone who appreciated the authentic beauty of traditional arts nowadays.

The fact that his secret Santa hadn’t heard any of his name wasn’t something surprising to him. Though the Fuyugami was considered one of powerful families in Japan no less than other prestigious families or companies out there, now their company’s stocks were seemingly in a downturn possibly thanks to a certain someone who only knew how to talk big but utterly clueless at how to do her job right. Other than that, it was this same bitch who did his name dirty before he resigned himself from the company. No doubt that the old folks in board of directors try to silence anything related to him since he had framed to be the one stain that made their family look less high and mighty …Like how they mentally cut his late mom out of the family just because she wasn’t chosen by them to be his father’s fiancé.

But at the same time, after all that shit, he didn’t really care.

The house affairs were never his thing to begin with, and what to complain about it since he had finally achieved his free time which he always longed for. On top of that, he had his private life back! …Well, if you didn’t take the daily trespassing of those brats in account, that was.

—Shaking his mind off the petty things he didn’t like to recall them in the first place, Saigo was a bit surprised at how this blonde model actually knew the traditional craftsman who can make the high-quality stoneware like this; didn’t all the models these days seemed to be more into modern fashions? Whatever.

“Hmm. This may not be an antique but I think it suits my office pretty well.”

Saigo tapped on his desk in a thoughtful manner. He still got a few paperwork waiting for him to take care of before the meal time.

“…Besides, Hasuto must be surprised if he knew I got the new ceramic set from someone other than him.”

Oh, can’t wait to see the pottery-lover cousin of his being thrilled by these magnificent art pieces the next time he paid a visit.

“Thanks.” Makina nodded and took the gifts, closing the door after and walking back to her setup, the chat roared to life after seeing her and the gifts. “Hey chat, I got more presents. Should I open them?” After many answers of ‘yes’ and ‘do it’s’, Makina opened the first gift she saw, revealing it to be…

A large collection of beautifully crafted jewelry inspired by the popular anime, Sailor Moon. Along with it came a letter.

‘Happy Birthday, darling!

We didn’t get to talk much during the pageant but I was really impressed with your performance so here’s a little something for me, congratulations on turning a year older!

— Lola Takahashi’

The next gift revealed to be a painted portrait of popular virtual idol, Hatsune Miku. Like the first gift, this also came with a letter.

‘Happy Birthday, Setsukura-san

We’ve never talked but I’ve seen your streams and I really like them, since it’s your birthday I wanted to send you a gift, sorry if that’s weird but I hope you like my gift.

— Eclipse’

The last gift was a plushie of Servamp character, Kuro but in his cat form, much like the other gifts, this one came with a letter as well.

‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCREEN SHOT!!

I’m a huge fan of your streams! I try to catch one at least every few days but my job is soooo demanding 😖 but I wanted to give you a gift for your birthday! I heard you’re a huge fan of Servamp (great anime btw) so I searched high and low to get you some merch and came across this cute lil guy! Now you have your very own Kuro! Be sure to treat him well, okay? Happy birthday!

— Joey (Quicksilver)’

Makina sighed. “The pageant… right… the pageant that I placed dead last in! Nah, I’m kidding, I was more there for exposure and even though I placed last, I guess it worked? Like now we got another two thousand people in chat today. Which, again, welcome in, you guys. Hope you guys are enjoying the stream so far!”

She took her coffin and skull earrings off and replaced them with one of the gold earrings with a ruby pink heart jewel. She brushed her hair behind her ears and showed her new accessory to her viewers. “What do we think, chat? Cute, isn’t it?”

She chuckled as she read the endless flood of ‘how cute,’ and ‘pretty!’ comments and dancing bunny emotes in her chat box. She hugged her poster and new plushie. “Y’know, I don’t know much about the other two gifters, but all gifts are welcome. Look! We got a legend right here,” she held up the poster. And then she lifted the plushie right next to her face. “And then we have my black cat twin right here. We look identical. Don’t know if you guys that sent these are watching right now, but uh…” She paused to read the names labeled on each of the letters. “Lola Takahashi, Eclipse, and Joey… Quicksilver… Thanks for the presents, you’re adding more and more to my family. I mean at this rate, I’m gonna lose storage space… damn…”

🏵️ [ROSETTE] Shisuta

🍓 [STRAWBERRY] Kisouna

Aranai, despite claiming that she has a thing for Ichiro of Ikebukuro, really sees the guy as a friend. She knows just how popular he is, and how many girls have a thing for him. And if you know anything about Aranai, it's that she doesn't like to share. She'd like a guy like Ichiro, though. A guy who doesn't judge her for her past or for how she currently acts. Aranai's rule list for a guy is similar to what she looks for in a friend. A person who doesn't judge her, but accepts her for how she is. Aranai's policy is: 'what you see is what you get.' She refuses to change for anyone. If they don't like how she acts, that's their problem.

As a part-time worker in a flower shop, Shisuta loves a lot of flowers, and there are plenty that could be used to describe her. If you asked her what her favorite flower was, she couldn't tell you, as she loves all kinds. The one probably best to represent her would have to be the white rose, as those are used to symbolize purity and faith, two aspects that fit Shisuta perfectly. If you told her this, Shisuta would disagree, but all of her friends agree that this flower is definitely her.

🌶️ [HOT PEPPER] Karada

🌰 [CHESTNUT] Luis

Tomi is... confused when it comes to the concept of true love. As you probably know, he lived an honest sex life up until a year ago. He's slept with numerous women, most of which he brought home from parties and soirees, and some whom he met while having a night on the town. He's had multiple girls say they love him, but he figures it was just in the heat of the moment, and he knows they aren't serious. He knows his parents love each other, but seeing as how they care more for money and their reputation than actually seeing him happy, Tomi knows they aren't the best examples.

Lately, ever since he's made it known his feelings for Miho Kobayashi of Shinagawa, he's been a bit confused. His parents are happy for him, but didn't really give him any advice on his situation. It was his younger brother who spelled it out for him. Does he enjoy Miho's company? Yes. Does he wish to make her happy? Yes. Does he look at her as more than just someone he wants to sleep with? Yes. He doesn't know why he feels this way for Miho, but... as much as he'll deny it, he likes these feelings, yet they also make him a bit scared.

Karada, no offense to him, is a bit too simple to have a sworn enemy. He has people he dislikes, of course. He dislikes brainy people, like that creepy, spider kid from Shinagawa, or that other creepy, brainy kid from Edogawa who has the name of a spider. Truthfully, Karada is too nice a guy to have mortal enemies. That doesn't mean he can't piss people off with his brainlessness or his flirtatious attitude, though. But really, most of the time, Karada gets on well with most people.

...Although, lately, he has been feeling something for a certain cross-dressing kid over in Kobe who's been spending an often lot of time with a model woman that he's had his eyes on lately. He doesn't want any trouble, but if the kid doesn't get the message to take a hike somewhere, Karada may stop being so nice and may have to teach him a thing or two...

As a chef, Luis eats a variety of food. He has to in order to know just how to make it. All it takes is one taste for Luis to understand exactly what is in a dish so he can make it. His grandmother believes that it is a blessing that God bestowed upon him. He doesn't know if that's true or not, but he doesn't deny that his talent has helped him with adding new dishes to his menu, which adds to the popularity of his restaurant. However, though he likes cooking, even Luis can get a bit exhausted from making so many complex dishes all the time. Usually, after a hard day at work, he makes himself a simple meal to eat before going to bed.
