Enki's pov

I couldn't sleep last night. I was too excited to give Y/n his gift, which is a photo album of our lives from his birth to now.

I hope he likes it. Ever since our parents died, we tried to look for the album, but we couldn't find it.

That was until I was in the attic looking for gift ideas and stumbled upon the album. I wanted to give it to him for his birthday, but that was way too long for me to keep a secret or not forget about it.

So I thought I could give it to him as a gift on the next holiday, which just so happens to be Christmas.

It's all coming together. I also added more recent photos to the album and made it seem like I'm a mastermind like Taylor Swift.

While I was waiting for midnight to arrive like seriously, why is it taking so long?! I need to give this super sentimental gift and it's only 23:00?!

I think I'll play some Twisted Wonderland to calm myself down. I practically have the whole story plot mesmerised.

It's like the world hates me.

Why can't I enter the game?! What the hell world?!

Wait, do I still know where I hid the gift?

What if Y/n found it already? What if he plans to give it to me as my gift? No, I can't have that.

It's time for my sneak playlist!

Spots to check

Attic
Kitchen
Living room
My room
Y/n's room
Bathroom
Dining room
Garage
Basement
Laundry room
Guest room
Guest bathroom
Y/n's office
Pantry
And last but not least, my hideout

I can immediately rule out bathrooms because, eww, why would anyone hide gifts there?

So first, Attic

Climbing into the Attic was easy, and I had my phone to use as a flashlight because I don't know where the actual flashlights are.

I checked all the logical spots first in the attic, and then I started looking in the none logical stops next, but nothing.

Next was the kitchen.

Like the Attic, I start with the logical spots and then start with the none logical spots. Sadly, like the Attic, nothing

This was my process for every spot, and all led to the same conclusion. The gift was not there.

And the Pantry just made me hungry.

Now it's time for the last spot, my hideout.

My hideout is a hollow space between my brother's room and mine, and both rooms have entry and exit points to the hideout.

I managed to decorate it to make it look like a mixture of my brother's room and mine.

I also recently added a mirror from the attic. It looks weird and cool at the same time, so I added it to the hideout.

The entry point in my room is behind my shelf. Which is decorated with anime, Lego, and my plushies have a whole shelf dedicated to them.

I got behind my shelf and got in the hideout. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw the gift was in the hideout.

Y/n can finally get his gift. I quickly made sure that everything was still there. While I was doing so, I could've sworn the mirror glowed green, but maybe I just need sleep.

I pick up the photo album and take it to my room. While I was leaving, I thought I heard someone say something, but when I looked back, no one was there.

That spooked me, so I quickly pushed my shelf back and climbed onto my bed because no one could get me on my bed.

I checked the time, and it was already midnight. I guess I was too focused on finding my brother's gift that I didn't realise the time. I guess I could wait to give it to him in the morning.

It is time!

I put the photo album under the Christmas tree, and it was so nicely wrapped, so good job, me.

I checked my brother's room, and he's still asleep. The audacity, it is  Christmas he should be up by now!

I don't want him to open his gift with his clothes wet, so it's time to jump on the bed!

Y/n's pov

I was having a peaceful dream of me finally getting a lover after being single my whole life. When I was just about to get my first kiss, I felt my body shaking.

Then I hear, "Wake up, wake up wake up wake up!" In my brother's voice. When I think dream me opened dream me's eyes I opened my actual eyes and got hit with a pillow.

"What the hell?!" I yelled. And there was the culprit my own brother.

"It's Christmas day!" His excitement reminded me of when I was younger and did the same thing to our parents.

"Well then, I suppose we should go down and open gifts?" I say making it seem like I was asking.

Enki immediately started dragging me to the living room. I noticed a rather book like gift already under the tree, so I placed my gift under the tree as well.

"So, who's opening their gift first?" I ask Enki. "Youngest first, right? Like every Christmas." Enki says.

I chuckle a bit and give him my gift to him.

He immediately opened the gift but when he saw it he froze. I started to get worried that he didn't like. "Don't you like it?" I ask. He then started tearing up. "Are you okay? I can get you something else if you don't like it." I say. He hugs me as tight as he can and says, "Thank you, thank you so much." Enki says.

"Now we match." I say to him. I'm glad he likes it, and he deserves it. we may not be stereotypical, brothers, but he helped me when I was beating myself up for our parents' deaths.

He let's go and grab his gift from under the tree and gave it to me.

As I open it, I see a familiar book cover. Once I fully opened the gift, I saw our old photo album that we've been searching for 3 years.

"Enki, where did you find this?" I ask while flipping through the pages. Everything was still there, along with our photos from after our parents' deaths. "I found it in the attic, and I updated it," Enki says.

"You always gave the best Christmas gifts." I say.

It was the best day this year.
