Wrote this a while ago for a Christmas one shot on tumblr.
The Christmas party continued on, Johnny sitting around a pile of gifts given to him, possibly as party thank yous for the host but he still didn't recognize most of the names in the 'from' category. He was appreciative of the gifts, though he doubted he needed most of what was bought, and knew they came from Monsters wanting nothing more than to be a part of the in crowd.
While sitting he watched the other monsters mingle, and come to notice a lack of red, and obnoxious yelling coupled with horrible dance moves. The JOX leader was nowhere in sight, and he was a hard one to lose track of.
Johnny honestly found the party rather dull, as he found most his frat parties, he hardly knew any of these monsters, and was much too cynical to make friends with them, knowing they just wanted to use him to climb their own ladders. While sitting board, waiting for the night to end, Johnny often found himself watching the JOX leader, Oddly enough he was pleasant to look at, though Johnny could not pin point why exactly.
But Johnny did not care about Roy, or at least he convinced himself and everyone else that he did not care. Through his denial he still found himself focused on the room in front of him, waiting for the big lug to come back into sight. Just a half hour before now, during the gift exchange, Roy had been empty handed, not even his frat brothers bought him a gift, which was odd since Johnny himself had bought Roy a gift, though hid it under his chair last minute when he figured the other would probably laugh at the kind gesture, or be a suspicious jerk.
He waited only a little longer before Johnny stood up, grabbing the hidden package from under his seat. Getting one thing from his rival would be better than getting nothing, he thought. Roy was probably wondering the halls looking for the bathroom, lost like a numb scull and needing assistance, he continued trying to convince himself there was a real reason to track the other down, not just irrational affection for the other hat Johnny refused to admit to, even now.
While walking through the only semi crowded entree way he noticed a figured through the front door's window, a large one sitting alone at the end of the ROR walk way. Looking out the fogged up glass he could see it was Roy, well at least he was easier to find then Johnny expected him to be, though being out in the cold was one of the last place he expected to see the cold blooded monster.
He opened the front door, feeling a chill through his sweater and winter coat. He took a few steps, standing behind Roy when he noticed tears in the other's eyes; the gift exchange must have hit him hard. He cleared his throat to get Roy's attention, noticing how quickly he tried to wipe away and hide his tears. Johnny knew Roy would not want others to see him crying, especially not by the ROR president himself. "Hey Big Red, I got you something, you must have missed it at the party" He said, although was intentionally hiding it before. "It's nothing special... Just something for the holidays" He held the gift out for Big Red to take. "Merry Christmas big guy"
