Snow falls softly, giving the street a cozy feel the dreary concrete rarely has. When the short, bundled up figure reaches a bright awning, she removes a key ring from her pocket. After fumbling with her mittens for a moment the store owner opens the door, shutting it firmly behind her.
The inside of Niki's bakery is all decorated for the holidays, strings of multi-colored lights and wreaths hug up beautifully. Ribbons and streamers add pops of festive colour to the front counter and display while new tablecloths adorn each of the tables. Small centerpieces sit on each table, adding the final touch to the cozy décor.
After removing her many winter layers, Niki begins baking the first batch of the day's pastries. A mix of her usual mini cakes, bagels and the like paired with special holiday treats like little gingerbread people and animals and chocolate peppermint cookies to name a few.
As the smell of holiday treats fill the small shop, the axolotl hybrid rushes around, straightening tablecloths and getting everything ready for opening in thirty minutes. Just as Niki's taking the last batch of treats out of the ovens, the back door bursts open.
A blonde teen stumbles out of the snow and into the little mudroom in the back. Snowflakes are sparkling as they melt in his fluffy curls and his nose is red from the cold. Ears twitching in irritation, he struggles out of his puffy blue jacket, "Sorry I'm late Niki! The fucking snowplow made the sidewalks impossible!"
With the same angry energy, Tommy stomps his shoes off and tugs on his apron. The raccoon hybrid scurries into the kitchen where Niki is setting the pastries to cool. The teen has one hand tucked secretively behind his back as approaches to help.
After setting the hot pan down, Niki turns to her employee, wide smile on her face, "No worries, kiddo! Happy Christmas Tommy!"
"Yeah, yeah happy Christmas whatever," The blonde mutters, keeping one hand behind his back, "Uh I uh made you this, you can open it now if you like..." Tommy reveals a small package, badly wrapped in newspaper and quickly shoves it into Niki's hands, "It's not like super good or anything but-"
The raccoon hybrid is cut off by a squeal from the young baker when she unwraps it to reveal a small painted cookie ornament. Niki carefully sets the wooden sphere on the counter where it won't fall to the ground. Turning back to the teen who gave here the homemade present, she wraps him in a tight hug, "Aww come here Mäuschen. Thank you!"
Tommy awkwardly stands stick-straight, obviously fighting between desperately wanting a hug and keeping up appearances, "Niki you're mothering me again."
"Hush, I know you're touch-starved," The pinkette murmurs, scratching gently behind the teen's ears causing Tommy to melt into the hug while grumbling, unable to deny that very real fact.
Niki releases the blonde, who instantly tries to hide his disappointed expression. With a light laugh, she gives him a quick head scratch before pointing at a row of piping bags on the opposite counter, "Grab the red and green icing and come over here to help me finish these up."
"On it, woman!"
The day goes by in the usual hectic holiday fashion, though thankfully because it's Christmas Eve, they close at five in the afternoon. While Tommy cleans up the kitchen and back area, Niki is cleaning out front, so she sees when Tubbo and Ranboo arrive to pick up their brother.
Tubbo walks into the bakery, ignoring the closed sign as he always does. The bee hybrid is wearing a green coat with a fake fur hood, ears and nose bright red as he happily waves to the pink-haired baker, "Hi Niki, Happy Holidays!"
"Hey Tubbo! Hi Ranboo! Here to pick Tommy up?"
"Yup!" Ranboo nods, hair flopping into his face. Instead of a winter jacket, the ender hybrid seems to have gone for the layering approach, having two red and white sweaters under an old varsity jacket.
"He should be out in a minute," The baker says with a small smile, continuing to take the remaining treats out of the display. Just as she says that the blonde rushes out of the back, pulling on his jacket.
Before the three can leave, the pinkette tugs on Tommy's sleeve, holding out a takeout box full of the treats she had taken out of the display, "Here, you three deserve a proper Christmas as well," Niki presses the takeout box of leftover pastries into Tommy's arms as the trio go to leave.
"No, Niki these are yours!" The raccoon hybrid objects, trying to give the box back.
The axolotl hybrid steps back, holding her hands up and refusing to take the treats back, "I'm giving them to you, think of it as a Christmas present, alright?" She reasons, ruffling the blonde's hair lovingly.
"Fine," Tubbo sighs, giving Niki a tight hug, which she happily reciprocates. With a motion from the pinkette, the other two join the hug as well.
"Happy Christmas, boys."
