"So how did you enjoy your first proper Christmas?" Kix asked Headshot, they were both in their barracks with Tup and Dogma.
Kix was behaving differently since he found out Headshot wasn't a clone.
"I really enjoyed it," he admitted, "Mesh never let me celebrate it-"
The way he said it got him a few disturbed looks.
"What? Our barracks never celebrated christmas they weren't too struck on it. Redeye and Mixer didn't like it either. I didn't mind."
'Why does he keep defending him?' Kix thought.
"more importantly what do you think of boxing Day?" Dogma asked.
"Well I don't get where the boxing comes in but it seems like it's 40% chill, 60% hangovers."
Everyone laughed.
"Yeah. I enjoyed it though" He layed back on his bed, hands behind his head; everything just seemed so Calm.
He rested his eyes listening to the mentality going on below him
"Hey guys guess what I grabbed from the mess hall." Dogma grinned.
He revealed multiple plated of sweets and pastries.
"Dogma?! Breaking the rules?!" Tup joked.
"Oh what the hell it's christmas!" he shrugged off.

Headshot was lying on the floor. Just him and Mesh. The others were gone to the mess hall for Christmas. He was sat listening to Mesh leaning up one of the beds complaining about it- again.
"There's no kriffing point! We can easily be training but everyone decides to waste their time!"
"We should go down there you know." Headshot looked up, "Redeye and Mixer have gone."
"Right then leave me!" he said angrily.
Everytime.
"No I'm not leaving you." he quickly sat up panicked.
I'm not leaving you.
"No, your not." he glared down at him, "You don't need it."
"I never said I did." he got up from the floor.
He tried to hug him but he didn't stop glaring. "I'm just saying we should go down and talk. We're the only ones not there it might look weird." he placed his soft hand on Mesh's stone cold cheek.
He was treading on thin ice.
"Maybe we should for a little bit just go-"
"I TOLD YOU YOUR NOT GOING!" Mesh shouted, and pushed Headshot into the wall.
He crouched down next to the shaking mess, hand raised shaking in anger.
"Mesh, please."
"If you mention the mess hall ONE MORE TIME you'll be black and blue do you understand me!"
"Don't hit me."
Don't hit me
"what did he say?"
"Oh and you think you make the rules around here?!"
"please don't."
Don't hurt me.
"What the hell is he doing up there?" Tup looked up.
"PLEASE!"
"Headshot!"
Kix jumped up on the bed and took his Shoulders.
"Headshot wake up." he shook him gently, "Head, please."

Headshot woke with a shout and bolted upright. If he didn't wake up scared he would have taken more notice that Kix had a hand on his waist.
"Your fine, your fine. It was just a dream." he comforted him.
They all had nightmares true, but that was a whole new category. He looked so scared.
"Don't cry we are all here, your fine."
They waited until Headshot had calmed down.
"Who was trying to hurt you?"
"What?" Headshot wasn't paying on much attention.
"in your dream," Kix repeated, "Who was trying to hurt you."
"How did you know?"
"You tend to talk your sleep." Tup answered.
Oops.
"Sorry about that." he blushed.
"No need to." Kix wiped away a tear, "As long as your okay now."

The dream outburst from Headshot surprised everybody. They had never seen him freak like that before. Soon they were all sat on the top bunks, legs dangling over the side, talking about random stuff.
"na nononono, you can't be serious!" Tup shook his head, "your a medic and clones try to attack you???"
"Literally you get some who quite literally punch you!" he laughed.
"That's just out of order." Tup shook his head in disgust.
"How does that work?!" Headshot shouted confused, he put on a deeper voice and threw punches in the air, "stop, making me better!"
The other three chuckled at what he was doing.
"Honestly if that was me I would have been straight on the defibrillator... kriffing clear!" He simulated a drill type of sound as he pretended to use one, "then when they were out cold I'd inject them with viagra and chain them up outside the generals quarters."
Dogma and Tup absolutely died at this statement.
"You'd what?!" Kix was mortified.
Headshot have a deranged grin.
"Oh I would Kixy and I would in a heart beat."

"wanna eat something else?" Dogma jumped down, "im hungry."
"I second that."
"I third that."
Tup and Kix jumped down while Headshot stretched out on his bunk again.
"Why don't you come down?" Kix asked.
"Because I'm lazy and I'm tired." he replied.
"You were just acting like a psycho!"
"I know,"
"You just woke up!"
"I know!"
"Youve eaten little to nothing all day!"
"I knoooooowwwwwww."
Kix just rolled his eyes and let him get on with it.
"like an old married couple." Tup joked.
"Can it man-bun I'm too tired to freeze up today!"

"You haven't had a cheese board before have you?" Dogma asked him
"No."
"Here, eat this."
Headshot swung his arm round and Dogma handed him an orange looking cheese. Kix and Tup went pale.
"What did you give him?" Tup asked.
"Mexican chili." he Grinned.
Suddenly Headshots face with sweaty red. He sat bolt upright clutching his mouth.
"HOLY SHI-"
