Just Konoe Enjoying Himself Without The Shadow Of His Past Haunting Him For Once! That And Zenkichi Being A Silly Dad And Boyfriend! - Tumblr Posts

Ok but... Konoe being in a relationship with Zenkichi by the time the Holidays come around and seeing him and Akane having fun and decorating is just... So foreign to him due to his traumatic upbringing. Let's face it, his father probably ruined it for him at some point. Like the man would probably put on a happy family facade for the public before going back to his usual abuse of his wife and child (before the former's death). So Konoe seeing a legitimately happy father and child is something very new for him. Then lets say Akane ends up breaking something, like a decoration of some sort, and Konoe gets worried that Zen might snap at her or something. His fight or flight response almost kicking in until he sees Zen appearing mad at first before pulling her into hug and teasing her with her laughing along with him. He's stunned but... He can't help but get a warm feeling now. He eventually joins in helping them finish decorating and starts to smile fully. I would say it would end with something kinda sappy like Zen getting a mistletoe above them and Konoe just finding his dorky attempt at flirting endearing. Of course, Akane would comedically ruin the moment by giving the typically childish, "Gross! Get a room!" Much to her father's embarrassment and Konoe's further amusement. Just being precious in general!
