hu tao pov:

Heizou was on Scara's lap blushing like crazy. Venti laughs at them as he takes a bunch of pictures but Xiao stops him eventually. "No more pictures Venti." Xiao sighed. "YOU ARE NOT MY DAD." Venti spat out at him. "Ok fine fine." Xiao let go of Venti as he sat down next to me. "This raging idiot." He said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Hey, should we all go and put our wishes in the box?" I asked. "That's a great idea." Aether said, smiling. Kazuha nodded as well. Xiao averted his eyes. "No I'm goo-" He couldn't finish his sentence as I grabbed his wrist and dragged him over. "I told you that I'm goo-"

"Come on, you gotta take a stab at being social Xiao!" I laughed. "You know that I don't like being social." He muttered. "It'll be fun! Plus you have me on your side!" I said with a bright smile.  "Fine..." He said. I squeeled in excitement as I dragged him again over to the table to write down our wishes.

"What're are you gonna wish for, Yamate?" Shenhe asked, grabbing a small piece of paper along with a pen.

"I don't really know..." Yamate replied.  "Hehe I know what I'm wishing for." Venti smirked. "You're not wishing for wine." Kazuha said.

"JERK!" Venti yelled out. I finished mine and dropped and ran over to hang it on the tree.

Ei held the ladder for me incase I fall. I hung up on the tree and went down the ladder. "What did you wish for?" Ei asked as I got down. "I'm not telling you." I said with a cheeky smirk. I asked for hers but she didn't tell me either.

"So what do you wanna do now? Not like we can go outside." Ei said as she looked out the window. "Don't worry! We have a lot of fun indoor activities to do!" I smiled. I'm not gonna let some snow storm ruin my day today. My stomach then suddenly growled.

"Do you want something to drink?" Ei asked. I nodded in embarrasment. Ei nodded as she went to the cafe counter to order two drinks for us. I then felt arms wrap around my waist. "Are you gonna keep leaving me?" He asked, kind of worried. I shook my head.

"Nahhh why would I ever leave you?" I replied, patting his head. He just shurgged in embarassment. Aww he's so cute. I look over at Heizou and Scaramouche. I'm glad that they're together as well.

heizou pov :

Scara and I were just sitting on a big bean bag chair by the fireplace. I was laying on his lap while he was scrolling on his feed on Instagram. I look away from mine to admire him. Gosh he's so cu- "Hey Heizou?" I snapped out of my thoughts. "Huh? What? Yea?" I asked. "What made you like me? I mean, I hate everyone but I can't seem to hate you." He said. "Well, I guess it's because..." I hesitated.

"You're cute, beautiful, the way you act towards others and Ei, the way you laugh, you're drumming, you're voice, just you're everything." I said, blushing furiously while looking away. "Ahaha, I must sound so ridiculous right no-" I then felt him cup my face with both of his hands. "Is that what you think of me?" He said, sternly.

"I- uh-" He let out a laugh. "Thank you." He said before giving me a peck on the lips. I then grabbed his face and smashed my lips onto his. I pulled away after a while to catch my breath as I saw his face get super red. "Aww are you flustered after that?" I teased.

"S- Shut it!" He scoffed. I pinched his cheek. "You're so cute when you're angry." I laughed at him, as I ran my fingers through his soft, fluffy hair. Scara noticed this as he did the same to me and moved my bangs out of my face. "What are you doing?"

"You look cuter this way." Scara replied. I chuckled before fixing them. "Thanks, but I prefer it like this." I laughed. "Oi lovebirds, you done?" Yamate asked, looking down at me. "Ok ok, chill we're done." I said, getting up, helping Scara up as well.

"Yamate! I need the ladder again!" Hu tao yelled out. "Are you kidding me..? Alright, I'm coming." She sighed as she groggily walked over there. Finally! I looked over at Scara, which his hands were getting super cold and were turning red.

I then grabbed his hand and interlaced our fingers together before shoving our hands into my pocket.

"Jesus, why are your hands so cold?" I asked. "I'm not used to the cold, I guess..."

I turned to his face to see him all flabber-gasted. He's so cute this way.

"Hey you have something on your face." I said, turning to him. "Huh, where-?"

He touched his cheek. "Right here." I said as I removed his hand and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Scara just looked at me even more flustered. "Aww man, look at them, Ei. Young love, am I right?" I turned my head around to see Venti clinging onto Ei. "Young love indeed." She replied. "SERIOUSLY SIS!?" Scara yelled.

"Why are you yelling at me?" She asked. I laughed while my boyfriend and his sister were busy arguing. So funny. The conversation didn't last long as I saw Ei flick his forehead then walked away. I walked towards Scara. "Ow that's gotta hurt." I sighed. Yea, it left a mark. "I think I might have a bandage." I said, looking through my small backpack.

I eventually found one and teared it open. "Hold still, alright?" I said. I then moved his bangs out of the way and placed it onto his forehead before kissing it. "Better?" I asked as he nodded in response.

I smiled before kissing his forehead again. "God stop doing that-" He said as he put a hand on my mouth.

"Hey did you guys make your Christmas wishes?" Shenhe asked, walking up to us.

"Yep! I already did mine and it's great." I said with a proud smile. Scara nodded as well. "Hey guys come join us!" Aether yelled.

Shenhe nodded as she walked over there along with Scara and I following. We went onto the dance floor and danced for a while.

Night has came as everyone was still having fun. I sat down with Scara to relax. "Hey, what did you wish fo-"

"Look guys, fireworks!" Yoimiya pointed. I turned my head around before looking up at the sky. It was... beautiful. "It's beautiful, isn't i-" I turned around to Scara who was so focused to the fireworks. I smiled. I'm just glad that he's happy for once. "Hey Heizou..."
"Yea?" I asked. "What exactly, did you wish for?" He asked, clenching onto his sleeve. I looked at him in awe before cupping his face with my hands.

"I wished to be with you." I said with a smile. Scara's eyes went wide. "You..... you wished to be with me...?" He stuttered. I nodded. "I love you, Scara." I stared into his beautiful eyes. God he's so pretty. "I...." I smiled at him. "I love you too." He smiled as well. We made eye contact as I put my arms around his waist and he cupped my face.

We leaned in towards each other, closing the gap in between us. Oh archons, I love him.
