beta: yomimashou
author's note: 1) Some of the basis for this fic can be found in an article from the July 2012 issue of Potato, which is translated in full here! It also relies on what was written in the original Bakaleya character bios, which were released in various magazines last April, in which it was said that Yuuki studied abroad in America, and on Yuuki and Makoto's interactions in the movie, in particular. 2) This fic might be a little confusing if the reader isn't familiar with Japanese Christmas pastimes, a description of which can be found here, though it doesn't mention illuminations, which in recent years have been a popular date spot among couples on Christmas
3) This was written for je_holiday and posted here as a gift for talisa_ahn!
summary: The lights are beautiful, Makoto has to admit, but more beautiful than the display is the way Yuuki's face lights up in their reflected radiance.

( Yuuki and Makoto have been together almost a full year by the time their first Christmas rolls around. )

title: strong inside but you don't know it

author's note: Somehow, Maya has become my favourite character in Bakaleya. The title is lyrics from Madonna's "What it Feels Like for a Girl."

word count: 1,765
beta: yomimashou
author's note: Sometimes I can't stand Tetsuya, but when he's around Tatsuya, he's okay. ♥ Also, this fic will make a lot more sense if you're seen the movie! To be safe, I'll say spoilers for the movie!
summary: Fumie brings out the worst in Tetsuya, but Tatsuya brings out the best without even trying.

( Fumie brings out the worst in Tetsuya. )
