Title: Cards
Theme: Christmas Exchange
Words: 100
Recipient: Vr2lbast
Prompt: Kapitel era Weiss playing cards (or some similar group activity) during their downtime
Characters: Yohji, Ken, Omi, Aya
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None

Omi never hated storms. He liked them because Weiss would hang out in the same apartment to stave off boredom.

They got tired of poker fast - Ken always lost first, and Aya always won if he didn't get riled up. If Omi even widened his eyes, Yohji immediately accused him of cheating.

Ken proposed a game called Spit, all noise and fun – winning involved slamming your hand first on a pile of cards - until Aya slapped a katana-hardened hand down on Yohji's fingers.

Yohji took the week off. Now no one wanted to play it with Aya anymore.

Ken frowned when he realized they were buying too much food.

She pinched him in the side, "It's for Christmas, not a blizzard." A proper English one, though she really had no idea. But Michel already decorated a tree.

Ken protested, because he would have to cook it all.

"I'll help you with everything." She patted his cheek, herding him to the next aisle.

"A-aa." Ken muttered, feeling as if a storm had already rolled over him.

"But if a blizzard does come," Ken recovered, adding a pack of cards to their loot, "I've got a game to teach you."
