[Futurelandia] The Wonderful Christmas (and maybe into New Years stuff too)
[ Their pack's Christmas tended to be one which was full and chaotic, despite the fact that there were increasingly less children in the house as Yamato and Junko (and yes, Koji too) all grew to maturity. In some ways, this was actually more "kids" than had been in the house for it than in a long time, what with their new additions.
Still: Masaomi, Nariko, Ada, Sullivan, Emily, Octavio, Tom, Yamato, Junko, Koji, Veronica, and Audrey - Twelve people with at least one gift for everyone else, often times more in the case of those who were more generous or had deeper pockets or more to impress others with. The sheer number (even if it had grown over time) is probably what prompted them to set up a grate tree in one of the living room spaces which was probably meant to be a formal dining room and then lay out all the presents from everyone wrapped up under it andt hen sprawled out for a wide area around it all. There's chairs set up in a circle around the room to give everyone room to sit and the first one there (Which if, of course, Masaomi) brought bags for the wrapping paper to go into a recycle.
Also Masaomi has on a santa hat and a fake beard. Both of which Ada picked out years ago, and he wears mostly out of tradition. It's similarly out of tradition that he got up at the ass crack of dawn to sit in the room and eat some rice before anyone else got up, wait for them all to filter on in here usually starting with Ada or Sullivan or in recent years his eldest son so people can start to make breakfast and be ready. But either way, breakfast and present opening in the morning! A white elephant gift exchange game in the afternoon! A big dinner in the evening!
Christmas is a time of togetherness, where there has to be some structure, but there's a lot which can happen beyond all that and often did. Movies watched, songs sung, and even if this year of different and strange for a variety of reasons... well. It was still their day, and everyone would enjoy it. ]

[ He doesn't want to it become an idea that it was a given. Sure there's been ... basically no refusals from him once he got as far as his private talk with him, but the pack that opens their doors to anyone is the pack that looses the ethics of what it was. It becomes more like those big political ones in the government of those fraternities-turned-"packs" which spring up at some colleges. There's no morals in that, no soul because it's discarded the need to have the Alpha pick and choose things carefully.
Or so be believes. ]

[He's free to his own beliefs, but it's far from a matter of thinking that Lana was guaranteed. It's that you didn't devote yourself to someone for nearly twenty years and not understand how their mind works. It's not a given but she knows her own mate well enough, has spent enough time with Lana, to understand how likely her acceptance may end up being.
But she also understands that Masaomi's got his pride in that, so there's no reason to poke at it. What she can do is dive into her food the second it's set down in front of her!]
yay you're back i'm excited
So he eats in silence, smiling at her. Whatever else they need to talk about can wait. Do they need to talk about more...? Ah, well, maybe. He'll let her be the one to breach it whenever she wants. ]
Yes! I'm so sorry I had to survive work. it's been nothing but that and trying to sleep for 12 days
What that really means is that he gets a first row seat to how excitedly she drowns her waffle in syrup.]
Not intending to pressure there just excited hope you're doing okay!
There are questions to be had about that. There are practical concerns, between that and the plan and her brother and their trip and ... all of that. But right now, he's just smiling and watching her do that, sort of slowly going at his own. He puts a lot of bananas on it.
But still. ]
nah, I know! tbh I'm glad the enthusiasm hasn't faded I fretted a bit since there was a sizable gap
So for now, maybe they're just fine, and there's nothing to worry about.]
Nah I'm always super into this
Likes moments like this.
At least when his brain isn't going too fast. ]
