A Halo Christmas [Halo Universe]

3

On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me three French hens.

Once more they were all eating. Annabelle was pouting; ever since the turtle dove incident Elyse and T'ane had been talking nonstop and were completely ignoring her. She wasn't used to this. She'd always sensed the connection between the two and had jumped on the opportunity of getting them together through the turtle doves, which was so much more romantic than how Jun and her had gotten together. But, she was being a good friend and wouldn't say a word as the two, who sat across from her, giggled and chuckled at each other. Besides, the only reason she was truly bored was because Jun wasn't there beside her.

A bowl with a lid was sat in front of her and she glanced up to see Jun standing behind her. His hands found her shoulders and he leaned down, nuzzling the side of her head as he kissed her ear. "I got you a present."

Giggling, Annabelle popped the top off the bowl and gazed in, only to lift an eyebrow. "Three drum sticks?"
