"There's someone I like… very much." Ruwalk whispered. "What the hell are you talking about? Get back to your work." Alfeegi scowled as he dipped his quill into the black ink bottle. Ruwalk sighed and stared at the cold-hearted officer. Alfeegi didn't seem to be distracted by or care about this staring and went on with his work. "I'm gonna go get something to drink." Ruwalk finally got up, not being able to stand the tension. Alfeegi nodded but didn't even glance up.
Ruwalk shook his head as he stepped out of the room. "How the hell am I gonna tell him? All he cares about is his work…" He sighed and walked to the kitchen, pondering and whistling.
Alfeegi looked up. The sky was already painted black, as it was almost nearing midnight. He stretched his arms and yawned. "I can't believe this… I told his majesty to finish all his work before Christmas Eve, but there's still this big pile of paper work left… Hah…" He let out a huge sigh and stood up. "Oh well, It is Christmas… I should take it easy for just one day." He left for kitchen in thought of getting a bite to eat.
As the White Officer neared the kitchen, he noticed someone sitting against the wall in the hallway. "Ruwalk?" He called out, noting the reddish orange hair. The figure looked up at him and yawned. "Oh… Alfeegi…" He stood up. "Why are you sleeping out here? Go back to your room." He said. "I was waiting for you…" Ruwalk replied groggily. Alfeegi blinked and pointed at himself. "Me? Why?"
Ruwalk pointed up. Alfeegi followed his finger to the ceiling, where a clump of mistletoe was hanging. Alfeegi raised an eyebrow, not getting what Ruwalk was trying to say. "I… tried to… tell you… in the room… but…" Ruwalk staggered as he walked near Alfeegi. "Are you drunk?" Alfeegi realized as he noticed the blank gaze of Ruwalk's eyes. The Yellow Officer nodded slightly for an answer, and he fell on Alfeegi's shoulder. "You're not supposed to be drinking, Ruwalk. Here, I'll walk you back to your room." Alfeegi sighed and grabbed his arm.
"You would drink on a night like this…" Ruwalk whispered into Alfeegi's ear. Alfeegi felt Ruwalk's warm breath and gasped. The Yellow Officer pulled himself up, his face still drooping. "Ruwalk, you—" His eyes grew wide as Ruwalk's lips touched his own. "What the f--- are you doing!" Alfeegi screamed, pushing his friend onto the floor. "I like you… very much." Ruwalk replied before passing out on the floor.
