December 25th


Suddenly she's standing before to him. He startles. And he hates that.

"What the—" but before he can go on, something gets pushed into his face, and he backs away a step.

"I've got you something." She's smiling her goofy smile at him, awaiting his reaction.

He frowns. "Hange, I got no time for this. I have to—"

"Please, just open it, it won't take long." And she takes a step forward, holding out the package to him once more.

He sighs and reluctantly takes it from her. "It's better not some weird stuff from one of your freaky experiments," he mutters.

"No no, I promise, it's nothing like that." And she gestures him impatiently to go on.

He sighs again and opens the cardboard box and peeks inside.

It's tea, black tea: his favorite.

He looks up.

Her smile widens, eyes sparkling with glee.

"Happy birthday, Levi!"


Merry Christmas everyone :D and happy birthday Levi :)
