Stale Popcorn and Rock Snickerdoodles?

Idea by @Anime-Niac Thanks for requesting!

Many conversations filled the cozy house on this snowy night as Maka finished another popcorn garland. Admiring her work, she stood up heading for the brightly lit Christmas tree. Maka sighed in welcoming relief as the pine tree aroma gently caressed her nose. She loosely, yet carefully, wrapped the Christmas tree with the popped kernels until all of the garland has left her hands and laid on the many pine branches.

"Maka!" Kid yelled from across the room. "BlackStar won't stop eating the all of the popcorn!"

"Oi! You better stop or else you won't get to open any presents!" Maka threatened, cracking her knuckles. Almost immediately, BlackStar froze in his place and ran away with his hands full of popcorn.

"Oh, my... I'll go get him," Tsubaki shyly bowed as she jogged upstairs.

Make giggled as she headed back to the table and tuned into the group conversation.

"One day, I'll free my purple giraffe, George and avenge his family!" Pattie roared as she zoomed her stuffed animal through the air.

"Pattie..." Kid groaned. "Giraffes can't be purple. It's impossible"

"What? Kid! It's totally possible for a giraffe to be purple ," Liz defended.

Kid scoffed and turned back to cutting stars and reindeers into the cookie dough.

"Maka!" Soul called out walking behind Maka, resting his arms around Maka's waist, and snuggling his head into her neck gently leaving lovebites around her neck. Pattie and Liz hooted while Kid covered his eyes saying that he had been 'soiled'.

Maka giggled and turned around facing Soul,"Hey, Merry-Almost-Christmas Eve! Wanna help me finish these popcorn garlands?"

"I'll do it for a kiss," Soul smirked leaning down to Maka's level pouting his lips out.

"Ew, no way!" Maka teased turning away from Soul to string more popcorn onto the thread.

Soul gasped over dramatically,"Oh, I see how it is. I guess I'll just have to kiss Kid for now on."

Kid's eyes widened from across the table and blushed brightly, "Oi, just because I'm Mr.FruityLoops doesn't mean I go Coco-Crazy for anyone; I have standards!"

We all bursted out laughing, and BlackStar went back downstairs pouting, "Tsubaki said I couldn't watch Dragon Ball Z for a week if I didn't stop being so loud."

We all stifled a laugh as he stomped his way over to the couch, resembling a small child, and watched the marathon of Christmas cartoons.

"Maka, Pattie wants to open our stockings tonight at midnight and then we'll open the rest of the gifts in the morning," Liz suggested.

"Yeah, sure!" Maka agreed cheerfully.

Maka's POV

I hummed happily along with the Christmas Carols playing in the background of the Christmas Specials appearing on the table. We shifted our selves on to the couch as we watched Frosty The Snowman, our fireplace's embers sparking with pops and crackles. I cuddled into Soul's arms as I took a sip of my hot coco.

"Y'know, Frosty could totally pass off as a pedophile," a voice appeared in the doorway. We all turned back and saw Stein grinning his average maniac-like smile.

"That's right! My dear Maka stay away from pedophiles!" Spirit yelled joining us in the living room

"You aren't much different from a pedophile yourself, Dad," I nonchalantly said watching him break down into dramatic sobs.

"Hey, Maka. You should be nice to your dad for once," Kid snorted as he tried to hide a giggle.

"Yeah, yeah whatever."

Minutes later, the clock showed 11:59, and we were all hyped on Sugar Plums and candy canes. "ONE MORE MINUTE GUYS OHHHMYYYGODD," Kid yelled jumping on the couches with BlackStar.

"SINCE I'M BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU, I SHOULD SEE WHAT'S IN MY STOCKING FIR-..."

We all watched in astonishment as Soul placed one of my hardbacks down calmly stealing a sip of my hot cocoa.

"What?" Soul snapped. We all quickly looked away; my eyes wandered around the room until it landed on the clock. 12:00 AM.
I jumped in excitement as I stood on my tippy toes to unhang our stockings and distribute them, however, no matter how hard I tried reaching for the festive stockings, I couldn't reach it. Suddenly I felt a warm chest press into my back as a breath ghosted past my ears. I turned around and pouted into his chest as I hugged him.

"Ew!" the rest of the room groaned in chorus. I smirked into Soul's chest as he unhooked all of the stockings. I let go and headed back to my prior spot. Soul squinted as he read our poorly decorated stockings for names.

"BlackStar? There isn't a 'Q' in your name..."

"Shut up! It's what all the cool kids are doing!"

Soul handed me my stocking last and we all counted off, "3..2..1!"

I looked into my stocking excitedly not really surprised to see that everyone bought me books. I took them out and placed them beside me. I was missing one gift, and it was from Soul; I looked deeper into the stocking and saw nothing. However, when I slid my hand into
the stocking blindly feeling around, I felt a cold metal object brush against my fingertips. I delicately wrapped my fingertips onto the the object and pulled it out. A bright ring reflected the fire's light giving it a warm glow. I looked over to Soul and his eyes were already on mine. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing in happiness. He embraced me as I nodded my head saying 'Yes'.
