'Twas the month that held Christmas and all in the flat
Not a creature was stirring save for a white rat
She went over bills as it had been a rough year
Wondering how she'd make it, she then shed a tear
She'd wanted to be silly with her friends and make art
But all of this turmoil just broke her little heart
When all of a sudden she heard such a clatter
She went to the chimney to see what was the matter
And there stood a figure, not fat but not thin
Yuki recognized him quickly which gave her a grin
He dressed up like Santa, in his signature red jacket
He'd helped her with computers and taught her to hack it
His glasses were clean and his fur was brown
She was always happy when this mouse came to town
Yes, it was her choco mousie friend named Nate
When she gave him a hug, she said "you look great!"
The brown mouse hugged back, and he held the rat tight
He had a message to deliver this cold December night
"Yuki, my friend, you've always been there for me
When I was sad or depressed, you always filled me with glee
And I know this year for you has been quite rough
When dealing with finances, it's always real tough
But I know in my heart, you can always pull through
I'll always be your friend, Yuki, and I do love you!"
The kind words of her friend had now forced a smile
If it could go past her face it would stretch for a mile
As Yuki took her finger and tickled his chin
Nate looked up, blushed, and looked back with a grin
"Oh Yuki, my dear, with fur white as snow
I do believe we are standing under mistletoe!"
The ratty looked up and she gave a little giggle
Then she looked in his eyes, which made the mouse wriggle
The two puckered up and closed their eyes in bliss
Then leaned in close and joined their lips for a kiss
They stayed there together for what seemed like a year
But when they broke up the kiss, Yuki leaned to Nate's ear
And whispered something sweet into the choco mousie's head
"Merry Christmas, dearest Nate. Now take me to bed~. "
