Original Release: December 24, 2020 (Fanfiction.net & AO3)

Summary

While Kyoko spends her Christmas with Makoto and his family, Leon goes with Sayaka to spend Christmas with her and her dad Moshin. Will Moshin receive Leon warmly, or is Leon doomed to a not-so-fun Christmas this year?

Tropes

• Affluent Ascetic: When he sees the Maizono household, Leon's surprised that it's more like an average American two-story house rather than a mansion. Sayaka says that she's not super wealthy due to the price for tickets to a high-school idol being less expensive than an idol in their 20s and 30s and that after tickets sales get divided up to pay for expenses (the venues, the stage staff, the sponsors, etc.), the money that she does get is mainly enough to help pay for her dad's bill.
• A Day in the Limelight: This chapter and the next chapter focuses on Sayaka and Leon's Christmas vacation with the former's father while Makoto and Kyoko spend their Christmas vacation with the former's family.
• Mistaken for Romance: When Moshin arrives to pick Sayaka up from Hope's Peak, he initially believes that Makoto is her boyfriend and is quite friendly with him.
  Leon: (Thinking) Man, why does Makoto get all the good luck? He’s not even dating Sayaka and he’s already won her Dad’s heart!
• Twerp Sweating: As soon as he finds out that Leon is Sayaka's boyfriend instead of Makoto, Moshin keeps a very close eye on him and makes it clear that there aren't ANY physical interactions allowed between him and Sayaka.
  Moshin: Alright, now…there are going to be a few rules I’ll be expecting you to follow during your stay with us, Kuwata-kun.
  Leon: (Thinking) …I was afraid of this… (Out-loud) Alright, what are they?
  Moshin: First, there is to be NO sexual activity between you and my daughter in our house.
  Leon: (Thinking) …Probably not the time to tell him we’ve already had sex…
  Moshin: Second, you are not to sneak into Sayaka’s room while she’s asleep.
  Leon: (Thinking) Not like I was planning on it, but fine…
  Moshin: You are also not to touch Sayaka anywhere that would be socially inappropriate.
  Leon: (Thinking) Okay, I get it, no touchy!
  Moshin: I also don’t want to see you staring inappropriately at my daughter.
  Leon: (Thinking) Who the hell do you think I am? I’m not Hifumi!
  Moshin: And lastly, there is to be no making out with Sayaka while you are in this house, am I clear?
  Leon: (Thinking) Come on man, are we allowed to have ANY fun?! (Out-loud) Yes, sir.
