I was always happy on Christmas. Always. But I found myself unable to smile this year. Why? Feferi Peixes is not by my side.
On Christmas, I always assumed your wishes should be fulfilled. But apparently, this isn't the case. I cannot muster enough positivity to enjoy this holiday, not without her.
I was just hangin' around in my house. Just jackassing around. So I decided I'd call up a friend. Hm... Let us see. Kar, Kan, Ara, Fef-no. Maybe Kar wants to talk?
I dialed up Kar's number and awaited his response. But to no avail, it went to fuckin' voicemail.
"Hey, this is Karkat Vantas." said the response. "If you're hearing this, I'm proaly screening. I obviously don't want to talk, so don't bother me." Click.
Oh no. I wasn't lettin' that asshat ignore me. So what did I do? Called him back.
Alas, he had picked up this time around.
"Agh, what is it Ampora?" He sounded oh-so happy to be conversin' with me.
"Well, I just wanted to talk to a friend. Is that a sin now?"
"I assume not. Fine, I've got time. Let's talk."
"Good! Now, I need advice."
"Lemme guess, Feferi?" God, that guy is a fuckin' psychic.
"Of course. I know she doesn't like me, but there's gotta be a way I can change things before Christmas."
"Why before the fucking holidays? Are we on some sort of time constraint now?" Snippy, huh?
"Well, sorta. I'd like to enjoy my holiday. I don't see it possible to enjoy a season of happiness without the person you love by your side..."
"Dude, I'm sorry. I really don't know how to help you out now. I've given you all the advice in my book of fucking romantic wisdom. You'll have to figure this one out on your own."
"Thanks anyway, Kar."
"Hey, man, before you go, tell me. Are you going to the party at Kanaya's mansion?"
"Like every year."
"Alright. I'll see you there, bro." Click.
Hhhhhh... I had a feeling this Christmas would blow. And I was right.
