Happy new year

*The room was filled with excitement, laughter, and anticipation as the Ballon d’Or 2025 ceremony played on the big screen. Everyone was gathered tightly around the couch, snacks scattered across the table, the glow of the television flickering across their faces.*

*Alya leaned slightly toward Kuze, her crimson eyes flicking between the screen and his calm face. Every now and then, she’d murmur something sweet in Russian, her tsundere charm slipping through effortlessly.*

**Alya (whispering):** Ты, наверное, тоже нервничаешь... (You must be nervous too...) *She quickly looked away, cheeks lightly pink.*

**Kuze** chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. *"Heh... not really, Alya-san. {{user}}-kun’s got this one. He’s unstoppable this year."*

*Masha, sitting comfortably with her baby daughter Meiko nestled in her arms, softly giggled as she watched the camera pan across the award nominees.*

**Masha:** "Look, Meiko, there’s Papa on the screen~" *Her voice carried a motherly warmth as she rocked the little girl gently.*

**Meiko** cooed, reaching her tiny hands toward the screen, making everyone around melt in adoration.*

*Yuki fidgeted restlessly beside Ayano, crossing her arms dramatically.*

**Yuki:** "Ugh! This is taking *forever*! Just announce the winner already!"

**Ayano:** "Yuki-sama... patience is also an art..." *She sighed softly, folding her hands neatly on her lap.*

*Alya, overhearing them, muttered in Russian under her breath before switching to Japanese with her trademark tsundere tone:*

**Alya:** "Ты даже ждать не можешь... (You can’t even wait...) Just wait a little bit, sheesh."

*Kuze laughed nervously beside her.*

**Kuze:** "Haha, I think they’re about to reveal it anyway... let’s not start a cold war before the winner’s name comes up, okay?"*

*Across the room, Kaoruko happily munched on a strawberry pastry Rintaro had baked for the gathering.*

**Kaoruko:** "Rintaro-kun! This one’s even better than last time!" *She bounced excitedly on the couch, nearly dropping the plate.*

**Rintaro:** *"Waguri-san, careful! If you drop it, I won’t bake another until next month!"*

*Kaoruko immediately froze, eyes wide like a scolded cat.*

**Kaoruko:** "O-Okay! I’ll behave!" *She puffed her cheeks in protest.*

*Subaru was twirling her fingers nervously, her usual cheerful expression dimmed by anxious hope.*

**Subaru:** "I’m nervous... but I know {{user}} can do it. He’s worked so hard for this." *Her smile returned, soft and genuine.*

**Usami**, half-asleep on the armchair, yawned deeply.

**Usami:** "Come on, Subaru, we all know how this’ll end. He’s been winning non-stop since 2020. It’s almost boring at this point."

**Natsusawa** adjusted his glasses, watching the TV intently.

**Natsusawa:** "You two aren’t even nervous... I swear, you’re too relaxed." *He glanced at the screen where {{user}} smiled calmly among the nominees.*

**Madoka** clapped her hands together.

**Madoka:** "It *has* to be {{user}}! No one else comes close!"

*Hori, seated close to Miyamura, leaned against his shoulder, biting her lip slightly.*

**Hori:** "He’s won every award this year... so he should win this too, right? But why am I so nervous? What if he doesn’t?"

**Miyamura**, with his usual gentle grin, wrapped an arm around her.

**Miyamura:** "Come on, Hori. You’ve seen his matches. He’s in a league of his own. If this award doesn’t go to him, I’ll eat my school uniform tie."

*Hori laughed quietly, resting her head against him.*

**Hori:** "Heh, I’ll remember that."

*Just then, Sengoku and Remi entered the room, balancing bowls of popcorn.*

**Remi:** "We almost missed it! Did they announce it yet?"

**Sengoku:** "Not yet, but from the noise, I can tell we’re seconds away." *He sat down, offering Remi a handful of popcorn.*

**Remi:** *"If {{user}} wins, I’m calling it — we’re throwing a mini celebration!"*

*The others cheered at the idea.*

*At that moment, Shikimori, sitting gracefully beside Izumi, adjusted her hair clip, her expression calm but her eyes sparkling with pride.*

**Shikimori:** "He’s got this. Look how confident he looks — it’s that quiet kind of confidence, the kind that wins hearts and trophies."

**Izumi** chuckled nervously.

**Izumi:** "You always notice these things, Shikimori. I just hope he wins... the tension is killing me!"

*Shikimori smiled softly, leaning her head on his shoulder.*

**Shikimori:** "If he doesn’t, I’ll personally challenge the jury to a duel."

**Izumi:** *"P-Please don’t!"*

*Meanwhile, Komi sat quietly at the corner of the couch, her hands gripping a cup of tea. She couldn’t speak, but her wide eyes reflected the glow of the screen — full of admiration for {{user}}.*

**Tadano**, sitting beside her, noticed and smiled reassuringly.

**Tadano:** "You believe in him too, right, Komi-san?"

*Komi nodded rapidly, cheeks red, her notebook already open with a cute scribble:*

“{{user}} WILL WIN 💪✨”

*Tadano chuckled.*

**Tadano:** "That’s the spirit."

*As the host on TV raised the golden envelope, the entire room went silent. Even the sound of Meiko’s soft cooing stopped for a second, as if the baby could sense the importance of the moment.*

*The host smiled dramatically.*

**Host:** “And the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner is...”

*The tension snapped in the air — everyone leaned forward, breath held, hearts pounding — waiting for the name that would light up the world.*

*The applause inside the ceremony hall refused to die down.*

*The host raised his hand again, smiling wider as the cheers slowly settled.*

**Host:** “And with this victory, {{user}} Hoshiro secures his **fifth consecutive Ballon d’Or** — five years in a row. A historic achievement.”

*The camera zoomed in on {{user}}.*

*He stood up calmly from his seat, straightened his suit, and gave a polite nod to the audience. No fist pumps. No dramatic gestures. Just that composed smile — the kind that only comes from someone who has already conquered the peak and treats greatness like routine.*

### **At the house — chaos.**

**Yuki** froze for half a second... then exploded.

**Yuki:** “F-FIFTH?! IN A ROW?!”

*She grabbed Ayano’s shoulders and shook her.*

**Yuki:** “AYANO-SAN DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS?!”

**Ayano**, smiling softly but clearly impressed:

**Ayano:** “It means... he’s no longer competing with players. He’s competing with history.”

*Alya’s eyes widened slightly. She pressed her lips together, trying to stay calm.*

**Alya (in Russian, very softly):** Пять раз подряд... это безумие... (Five times in a row... that’s insane...)

*Then, arms crossed, tsundere mode activated:*

**Alya:** “Well... obviously. Someone like him winning only once would’ve been weird.”

*Kuze leaned closer, grinning.*

**Kuze:** “Your voice is shaking.”

**Alya:** “IT IS NOT.”

*Masha held Meiko closer, tears shimmering in her eyes — but she was smiling brighter than anyone.*

**Masha:** “Five times, Meiko... Papa is truly amazing.”

*Meiko giggled happily, clapping without understanding, which somehow made it even sweeter.*

*Kaoruko bounced in place again.*

**Kaoruko:** “Rintaro-kun! Five in a row! FIVE!”

**Rintaro:** *laughing* “Okay, okay, Waguri-san—please don’t start counting on your fingers mid-jump.”

*Subaru covered her mouth, eyes shining.*

**Subaru:** “He keeps raising the bar... every year.”

**Usami** smirked, arms behind his head.

**Usami:** “At this point, the award should just be named after him.”

**Natsusawa** nodded seriously.

**Natsusawa:** “Legends aren’t made overnight. This proves it.”

*Hori exhaled deeply, like she’d been holding her breath for five years.*

**Hori:** “Five times... I still got nervous.”

**Miyamura:** *chuckling* “Guess even perfection can be stressful to watch.

*Shikimori sat forward slightly, her expression calm but her eyes shining with pride.*

**Shikimori:** “Five in a row... that’s incredible. No one else even comes close.”

*Izumi, sitting beside her, adjusted his glasses nervously, face flushed.*

**Izumi:** “F-Five... wow... he actually did it...”

*Shikimori smirked softly, teasing him lightly.*

**Shikimori:** “Relax. You don’t have to faint every time he wins something.”

*Izumi groaned and hid his face, muttering incomprehensibly.*

*Komi sat quietly, wide-eyed, her hands clasped together on her lap. Tadano leaned slightly toward her, noticing her reaction.*

**Tadano:** “Even you’re impressed, huh, Komi-san?”

*Komi nodded rapidly, eyes sparkling, then scribbled in her notebook:*

**Komi’s notebook:** “FIVE TIMES IN A ROW 🏆💖”

*Tadano chuckled softly, watching her blush.*

**Tadano:** “He really is something else.”

---

*Back at the ceremony, the host wasn’t done.*

*He opened another envelope, his tone playful.*

**Host:** “And now... a lighter award voted globally by fans, athletes, and media alike.”

*The crowd murmured.*

**Host:**

“The **Most Handsome Athlete of 2025** goes to—

**{{user}} Hoshiro.**”

---

*In the hall, cameras flashed nonstop.*

*{{user}} stood again, visibly surprised this time. He accepted the award politely... but his expression stayed humble. No smug grin. No arrogance.*

*Then — as the crowd cheered — he turned slightly toward the camera...*

***and blew a soft kiss.***

---

### **Back at the house — absolute mayhem.**

**Kuze** burst out laughing.

**Kuze:** “Nah nah nah—he knew what he was doing.”

**Usami:** *chuckling* “Deadly on the field AND off it.”

**Miyamura:** “That should be illegal.”

**Rintaro:** *shaking his head with a smile* “That’s confidence, not pride.”

**Izumi** coughed, muttering under his breath while still hiding his face.

**Izumi:** “I-Impossible... so smooth...”

**Tadano** laughed softly, shaking his head.

**Tadano:** “He really knows how to make everyone’s hearts skip a beat.”

*Alya froze completely.*

Her face went red — **really red**.

**Alya:** “W-WHY WOULD HE DO THAT ON LIVE TV?!”

*She covered her face.*

**Alya (in Russian, muffled):** Идиот... красивый идиот... (Idiot... handsome idiot...)

**Yuki** squealed, grabbing a pillow.

**Yuki:** “HE BLEW A KISS— DID YOU SEE THAT?!”

**Ayano:** *adjusting glasses, cheeks faintly pink* “That... was unexpectedly charming.”

*Kaoruko’s eyes sparkled.*

**Kaoruko:** “He’s like a prince!”

**Rintaro:** “Please don’t raise your standards again...”

*Subaru pressed her hands to her chest, smiling shyly.*

**Subaru:** “He doesn’t even look proud... that’s what makes it worse.”

*Hori hid her face behind her hands.*

**Hori:** “Why am I blushing for someone I don’t even like like that?!”

**Remi:** “Because it was smooth~!”

*Komi, still sitting quietly, scribbled in her notebook again with little hearts around it:*

**Komi’s notebook:** “SO HANDSOME 💖”

*Shikimori leaned slightly back, smiling softly at the screen, calm but proud.*

**Shikimori:** “That’s my {{user}}. Always humble, always amazing.”

---

**Masha**, however, was different.

She laughed softly, pure happiness in her eyes, holding Meiko close.

**Masha:** “That’s my husband.”

*No embarrassment. No jealousy. Just pride and warmth.*

*Meiko babbled happily, waving her tiny hand at the screen like she was responding to the kiss.*

Got it bro 😎 let’s do the **next day at home scene**, everyone greeting {{user}} in-person with their usual personalities, chaotic but fun. Here we go:

---

*The morning sun streamed through the windows, and the living room was already buzzing with energy. The ceremony was over, and today, everyone got to see {{user}} in person, awards in hand.*

**Kaoruko:** “{{user}}-kun! Congratulations!!” *She bounced lightly, holding her hands together like a hyper puppy.*

**Rintaro:** *chuckling while gently steadying her* “Waguri-san... calm down or you’ll knock over the trophies.”

**Yuki:** “I can’t believe it... FIVE IN A ROW!” *She threw her hands in the air, pacing around like she couldn’t contain herself.*

**Ayano:** *softly, beside her* “Yuki-sama... please don’t scare him before he even sits.”

*Alya leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed, pretending not to care.*

**Alya:** “Well... obviously he’d win again. I mean... five times? Ha.”

*Kuze grinned, nudging her lightly.*

**Kuze:** “Tsundere alert. Admit it, Alya, you’re impressed.”

**Alya:** “I-I said nothing!” *Her cheeks faintly pink, but she quickly turned away.*

*Masha held Meiko in her arms, smiling warmly.*

**Masha:** “{{user}}... you did amazing yesterday.”

*Meiko clapped her tiny hands excitedly, squealing as if she understood.*

**Masha:** “See, Meiko knows too!”

*Subaru’s hands were clasped to her chest, soft and shy.*

**Subaru:** “You... you didn’t even look proud... and that’s kind of... amazing?”

*Usami leaned lazily on the armrest of the couch.*

**Usami:** “Yeah, yeah... calm, collected, five-time winner. Typical.”

*Natsusawa adjusted his glasses, still focused on the trophies.*

**Natsusawa:** “Legends like him don’t even need to celebrate. But of course... everyone else makes a mess anyway.”

*Hori hid her face behind her hands, a little flustered.*

**Hori:** “Five... consecutive... it’s still... overwhelming...”

*Miyamura chuckled softly beside her.*

**Miyamura:** “You’ll get used to it... eventually.”

---

*Shikimori and Izumi entered the room calmly, their expressions composed but warm.*

**Shikimori:** “Congratulations, {{user}}. Five in a row... that’s incredible.”

*Izumi adjusted his glasses nervously, cheeks faintly pink.*

**Izumi:** “Yeah... amazing... really. I- I’m impressed.”

*Komi sat quietly, hands clasped together. Tadano leaned slightly toward her.*

**Tadano:** “Even you’re impressed, Komi-san, huh?”

*Komi nodded rapidly, eyes sparkling. She scribbled in her notebook:*

**Komi’s notebook:** “{{user}} Hoshiro 🏆 FIVE IN A ROW 💖”

*Tadano chuckled softly, shaking his head.*

---

*The room quickly became chaotic — everyone talking at once, rushing toward {{user}}.*

**Yuki:** “Can we touch the trophies? Can we?! CAN WE?!”

**Kaoruko:** “I want a picture! A picture! Wait, TWO pictures!”

**Subaru:** “He’s calm... even after all that...”

**Alya:** “Hmph... five times. Not impressed.”

*Kuze, Usami, and Miyamura just laughed at the chaos, leaning back casually.*

**Kuze:** “Everyone’s losing their minds, and he’s just... him.”

**Usami:** “Typical. That’s why he’s the GOAT.”

**Miyamura:** “And still humble.”

*Masha just laughed softly, holding Meiko close.*

**Masha:** “Everyone’s so happy for him... it’s adorable.”

*Shikimori gave a small, proud smile, while Izumi kept adjusting his glasses nervously.*

**Shikimori:** “People will always overreact.”

**Izumi:** “Yeah... but it’s nice to see everyone happy.”

*Komi scribbled more hearts around “{{user}} Hoshiro 🏆✨,” cheeks bright red, while Tadano shook his he

ad with an amused smile.*

*{{user}} calmly placed the awards on the table, shrugging slightly at the chaotic welcome — still composed, still the effortless center of attention.*

*The room was loud, chaotic, excited... and full of admiration, pride, and cute flustered reactions.*
