It's not like they hold throughout the day anyway...
The knock on the door at least stops his needless fussing but by the time he goes downstairs he finds nothing but a package waiting.
A Christmas gift? Well, it must be. There's actually a few people that might give him a gift. But not many would write in Japanese. The note really tells him all that he needs to know.
This is from Josuke. And that's very... strange. He's not sure he wants to opem this.
He does anyway.
Small cloth mice...? Oh. For the cats. Well, that's nice. There's something else in here. Oh yes. A stocking filled with coal. Well, that's going straight into the trash. It couldn't be a completely pleasant gift otherwise they might start forgetting where they stand with one another.
And now that leaves him in a bit of a situation. He's been mulling the idea over in his head about giving Josuke one of the kittens. On the one hand, he knows it'll be a good home. On the other, it's Josuke. And even though he's picked out the kitten and gotten the collar with one of the names Josuke picked he'd ultimately decided he wasn't going to give the boy the cat.
But now he has a gift and it's polite to give something in return.
Since he's going out tomorrow anyway to drop off treats for the Fourth Followers he supposes he can make a stop over to Josuke's. It'll be sometime in the day, unfortunately... Whatever. He'll wake him up. It's Christmas and all that.
So once seven am hits, now Christmas Day, he closes up. He leaves Susan and Draco do the cleaning while he plops the cat he'd picked out for Josuke in a box. This kitten has a serious attitude problem, towards him specifically, so he's more than happy to send it somewhere else. His first thought had been Josuke actually, and he's preemptively put a ribbon around it as he debated if he should give that troublesome boy a present. He puts the collar with desired name Josuke wanted, depending on the gender of the cat, in the box too. It's a little big but it's the tag that's important. He's seen Hot Space's tag a couple times now so he thinks he's matched it pretty well.
He places the lid of the box on, which does nothing to muffle this very vocal feline who is also sticking its paws through the air holes. This is not going to be a surprise if it doesn't stop this behavior.
By the time he finishes up his stuff at the arcade it's about ten am and the sun is a dreadful beast. Knocking on Josuke's door at this hour would be like knocking on someone's door at midnight back in Morioh, right? He doesn't particularly care, he can't leave the box at the door there's a kitten in here and it's rather cold outside. And if he doesn't do this now he's not going to want to do it later.
So, wasting no more time in mulling it over he knocks on Josuke's door. He finds himself here a lot, doesn't he? That needs to stop...]
Merry Christmas to you
