here i am
writing a christmas special
the day after christmas :)

"So, who's ready for tonight's Holiday Ball?" Elf Archer chirped merrily. If anyone was totally berserks about Christmas, it was her. You shrugged your shoulders as you quietly sipped your tea. "You can hardly call it a Ball since it's only being hosted to adventures. And in the Guild Hall of all places. The scrawny girl sitting in front of you rolled her eyes.

"Priestess, what about you?" she asked, refueling her excitement. The blonde grinned with rosy cheeks. "Yes! It sounds fun." You absentmindedly smiled to yourself. The last few days have been stressful, so it was nice to feel at ease. Even if it only lasted for a while. You couldn't help but turn to the three men at the table in curiosity. "Are you guys going?" you asked.

The two elderly men, Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest, hummed in contemplation. The bearded dwarf then began to smack his knee in laughter. "Haha! Sure, why not? As long as there's booze, I'm in!" The table of comrades chuckled with each other in delight. "I shall go as well. In my homeland, my people had never celebrated Christmas, so I am curious of this... Holiday Ball, as you call it," proclaimed Lizard Priest. "What about you, Goblin Slayer? You in?" you said, nudging your friend's shoulder playfully.

Goblin Slayer faced you with a questionable expression stretched across his face. "I'm not really a party kind-of-guy. Hearing this made you frown partially. "Ah, come on! Scared you're gonna be stuck under the mistletoe with Y/n?" Elf Archer asked smugly. Your face reddened to a blinding crimson and you could've sworn you noticed steam rise from the shafts of Goblin Slayer's helmet. "That sounds...foolish," he coughed.

You both watched in horror as she mimicked the act of kissing, her lips puckered up like a goose. "Don't test me, elf," you hissed. The woman merely snickered and continued to tease you. After a while of dealing with her shenanigans, you and Goblin Slayer stood from your seats in unison. "Wha—?! You guys are leaving?" she hollered. You both ignored her as you made your way to the large set of doors. "You guys are coming, right??"
"Sure, sure," you replied before making your escape, Goblin Slayer right behind you.

You both heaved a sigh and turned to each other. Not moments after, you each released a small fit of laughter. "Wanna take a walk?" you offered, which he accepted gratefully.

You involuntarily shuddered against the crisp morning breeze as you strolled. "Are you cold?" asked Goblin Slayer. You perked your head towards the man and shook your head in denial. "Nah, it's just a little windy today." You nuzzled into the warmth your cozy scarf while breathing into your bare hands. "You aren't wearing gloves," he noted. You simply shrugged and began to rub your palms together. "Yeah, I was putting mine on this morning and found a big hole torn in one of them. Those were my only pair too."  You had decided not to pay any mind to the cold nipping at your fingertips, but that wasn't going to fly with him.

"I'm that case, come here." You were suddenly pulled to the side, out of people's way. "Um, what are you doing?" you questioned as the man clad in armor took ahold of your pink hands. He said nothing as he gently caressed them in his own. Surprisingly, his hands felt undeniably warm, despite the black leather gloves covering his skin. Your cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Luckily, it was so cold outside that it didn't seem that way.

"Haha, do you treat all of your girlfriends this way?" you teased, however he didn't seem to catch on as quickly as you hoped. "No, just you. And so far, you are the only girlfriend I have." WAIT WHAT. "No, no, no, no! Not like that! I was talking about your love interests," you squeaked. Goblin Slayer mumbled a swift, 'oh,' and released your hands. "My apologies. I didn't—I thought you meant—" he was becoming a stuttering mess. Was the big baddie really all that flustered? You giggled and patted his shoulder reassuringly. "It's ok. I know what you meant." The awkwardness between you thawed and you resumed your morning stroll together.
