Since I know I'm not going to be doing jack shit on Christmas day here's the Christmas special!

⋄⋘⁜⋙⋄
Are you feeling merry yet?
⋄⋘⁜⋙⋄

The breeze was colder than it had normally been. The trees, once vast of leaves, now stand there bare. A particular female of Night Reaven Collage sat staring out the window of her current class. She sighed at the sight of the tiny snowflakes bringing to coat the ground like a blanket. Her eyes glaze over with a thought not many could decipher. Two of the three brain cells were in the group of those who could not.

Ace's head tilted in confusion along with Deuce's as they stared at the monotone female. "What's wrong with her?" the former asked the blue-haired male beside him. The male shrugged his shoulders.
"What are you two idiots doing?" a familiar voice of a certain white haired wolf asked from behind them. The two jumped in surprise.
"Oh, hello Jack. We're trying to figure out what's wrong with [Name]. They seem more gloomy than their normal monotone," Deuce said with an embarrassed smile.
"Why don't you just ask her then?" Jack questions as he crossed his arms. 

"...oh."

Jack rolled his eyes and entered the classroom. He walked up to the [h/c] haired female and they spoke but the duo weren't close enough to hear what they were saying. A few seconds later, Jack come back. "Well what did she say?" Deuce asked the taller male.
"Not much. All she said was that Christmas was coming up soon," he responded. That didn't exactly help. 

Time Skip : Forward ⋄ Lunch Period
Location : Cafeteria

I'm sorry we couldn't be there to celebrate with you...

[Name] was, unfortunately, unable to join the duo for lunch as she had a few injured students to attend to. Deuce and Ace sat at their usual table thinking in silence about what their friend had told them. It was extremely cryptic yet so simple. The meaning never once comes in complete. They sighed as they drew a blank once more. 

Suddenly two of the chairs next to them were pulled out from their place. "Hey, why the long faces?" A familiar voice of Carter asked the two. Deuce explained how the Ramshackle dorm prefect had been acting unusually gloomy and when asked why the only response was along the lines of 'Christmas is coming soon'. Trey hummed quietly,
"Well-"
"Hello," a new voice interrupted them. They all jumped as with the sound came the face of Lilia upside down.
"Hello to you as well," Trey said although a bit startled by the black and magenta haired male's sudden appearance.
"I heard that a certain Ramshackle prefect was feeling gloomy over the Christmas holiday," Lilia said as he flipped himself to land upright.
"Yeah, but we don't know what. All she said was something about Christmas coming," Ace said. Then a certain tall Diasomnia prefect came over.
"Christmas? I remember Lilia telling me about it," Malleus said catching the attention of the others at the table. "It's a moral holiday. A time when people get a tree and put wrapped boxes under them and hand socks near a fireplace. Also, a time when people spend time with their family." 

Lilia snapped his fingers as the realization dawned on him, "Family. Maybe [Name]'s acting this way because this will be a year that she can't spend Christmas with her family or friends from her home world." Everyone's eyes widened at the realization before it became a bit gloomy.
"That's..."
"Kinda sad."
Everyone when silent before surprisingly Malleus spoke up. "I have an idea." Everyone turned to him and edged him to continue. "Alright here's my idea,,,"

You know we care for you right?

The sun shined through the frost covered window of the [h/c] haired female's room. The light caused her to groan and wake up from her slumber. It was a shame really. It was the type of dream that didn't end with recurring nightmares. She sat up with a yawn and scratched the spot under her eye where a stitch ran, "Morning Grim." There was no sound back causing [Name] to look around in confusion. Where was Grim? With a small frown, [Name] slipped out of bed and to the room next to her. She knocked on the door but there was not a single peep. With a twist of the handle, she walked into the room. But the neat room was without a single sign of another person. Where was Elija? 

Her eyebrows furrowed and a frown danced across his lips. Where were they? She could feel her breathing slightly pick up as hundreds of negative thoughts swarmed her mind. And yet there was this small voice inside that overtook all the others. It told her that everything was alright. It said that all she had to do was take a deep breath and head downstairs. 

So with a deep breath in and out a few times, [Name] made her way downstairs. The floors didn't creek like they used to but the sound of faint shushing made their curiosity skyrocket. Step by step she descended father down the stairs. Until the lights flicked on and there was a loud shout.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

[Name]'s eyes widened with a few blinks as her mind finally processed the scene in front of her. Across the room streams of paper snowflakes and lights lined the walls. There was a tree decorated with lights and different color ordainments, some looked even handmade (as in arts and crafts). Underneath it was a bunch of presents wrapped up with a bow. All of the friends she had made at Night Raven Collage were here and dress up in their best ugly sweaters. Her eyes softened and a rare genuine happy smile broke across her features. "Thank you. This means a lot to me." 

Grim came running towards y/n with a large grin as he showed off the dark blue cat themed stocking that [name] and the others had gotten him. "[Name] [Name]! Look Look! It's full of candy and small toys!" Grim yelled with a grin. The fire near his ears seemingly grew plus the rapid movement of his tail easily showed his excitement if it wasn't obvious. 

[Name] smiled before looking at the people before her and entering one of the rooms to the side. They were confused but didn't move from their spot in the main room. Then [Name] came out with a bunch of presents, each had its own special warping paper. "I planned to give you these but it seems you've beaten me to it."

"Merry Christmas everyone!"

From there, there were gift exchanges and unwrapping. After there was a plan to watch movies and snack but Carter thought everyone should go outside and enjoy the snow before we retired inside.

Everyone was outside in their coats as they played in the snow. From making snow angels and snowmen to fierce snowball fights. Hell, even a few tired ice skating (that didn't go very well). And [Name] sat on the snowy stairs of the dorm's entrance. A gentle smile danced across her face as she looked on until she felt someone sit beside her.
"You know you can go and join them. They seem to be having fun," they said to the girl.
[Name] shook her head and looked at the person,
"I'm very content with where I am. But I feel as if something is missing." She said with a slight chuckle. The person next to her chuckled and looked up.
"You know, they say when two people are under mistletoe they are supposed to kiss." [Name] looked up and saw the leafy green branched plant with a few white berries in the mix. Then the person brought their hand to gently tilt her head towards them.

"With your consent..."

Their voice came out soft as the distance between them slowly came to a close.

"May I take your lips for my own?"

Merry Christmas. Ya filthy animal.
