A/N: Hello, Takako here. I wrote this story last year around Christmas, found it in my English notebook, and decided to publish it. You will enjoy if you like Sondam. Maybe not so much if you like Sounia. I do love Souda though! He is precious.
Inspired by a piece of fanart I saw on Tumblr.
"Souda-san, what do you think Tanaka-san would like for Christmas?" Sonia asked excitedly, running down the aisle of the local Walmart they were shopping in.
"Hmrph," Souda grunted. "Like I'd know. Why'd you ask me to help you with this?"
Sonia clasped her hands together enthusiastically, an innocent smile displayed on her rosy face. "Because we're friends, remember?" Special emphasis on the word 'friends'.
"Right," Souda said, eye twitching. Sonia continued smiling obliviously and turned back to the shelves with ornaments stacked on top of them.
"Do you think we might find one with hamsters on it? Tanaka-san and the four Dark Gods of Destruction would love it!"
Meanwhile…
Gundam strode through that very same store, incredulous of the inferior human inventions that filled aisles and stacked up on shelves, unaware that Sonia was also doing her Christmas shopping.
What would Lady Sonia be pleased to receive for this holiday she is so fascinated by? He asked himself. Gundam knew Sonia would be pleased with any gift she received, but he wanted to find something extra special for an extra special human.
Gundam stopped near an aisle full of Christmas decorations- Christmas lights, ornaments, wreathes, wrapping paper- anything essential for the season. He was just examining a snow globe with a dog wearing a Santa hat inside of it when the voice of Sonia shouting his name startled him. He turned his head to the side- much to his bewilderment, Lady Sonia and the Vexatious One were standing at the end of the aisle. Gundam felt his face turn red as a tomato; he'd been caught doing an act of kindness!
Sonia grabbed Souda's arm and dragged him down the aisle, running toward Gundam in all his glory. As she stopped in front of him, Gundam's eyes drifted upward- and he internally panicked as he realized they were conveniently standing under a sign decorated with… mistletoe.
Sonia and Souda soon followed his gaze. Then Souda fell to the ground in complete and utter despair. Sonia wanted to try every Christmas tradition so she did not hesitate to use Souda as a stepping stool and give Gundam a kiss on the forehead.
Gundam fainted. It was the best Christmas he'd ever had. For Souda... it was another matter. The end.
