Author's Note: Hello, fellow Creampuffs! This si the first fic in a 12 Days of Carmilla holiday prompts. I encourage everyone that wants to participate to do so. There is more information on Tumblr #12daysofcarmilla. Hope y'all enjoy!

Carmilla hated Christmas caroling almost as much as she hated people not knocking.

Yet, somehow, Laura had convinced her to go out caroling with the rest of the Dimwit Squad. Actually, Laura was pretty convincing….

Still, that did not have to mean she needed to enjoy freezing her ass off to sing to a bunch of half-drunk college idiots.

Carmilla and Laura bundled themselves up and went to one of the courtyards to meet up with Danny, LaFontaine, and Perry. Despite the fact that Carmilla no longer needed to regulate her body temperature, on the grounds of her being a vampire, Laura insisted that Carmilla bundle up just as much as she herself did.

Of course, Carmilla wanted to argue, but she realized that she was kind of tired of wearing leather crop tops- though she could never tire of the look of lust that filled Laura's eyes whenever she noticed her wearing them.

So, Carmilla let herself be dragged out of her cozy dorm room to brave the half blizzard outside. Laura had one hand looped in Carmilla's arm- and subsequently, in Carmilla's coat pocket- and the other was gripping a thermos of hot coco.

The two made jokes, hoping laughter would help warm them up (though Laura needed the warmth more than Carmilla.)

They rendezvoused as planned with the other three. LaF was making snowballs and throwing them at Perry and Danny. Perry was quite annoyed, asking LaFontaine several times to stop, though they would only laugh and toss another snowball. Though, LaF didn't like to get hit by Danny, because damn, that girl had an arm.

"How cute, creampuffs. May I join? Or is this Dimwit Squad members only?" Carmilla drawled at the trio.

Danny gave a dry laugh and dropped the snowball she was about to throw. She squished the pitiful, broken clump with the heel of her snow boot.

They exchanged greetings and Perry gave them the sheets of music. Carmilla didn't really need them, since she's basically heard every Christmas song that came into existence since her birth in 1680. And LaF has always been one for holiday cheer, so they knew almost every Christmas-y song by heart. Along with several Hanukah songs.

Laura knew the basics, but she studied the sheet carefully when it was handed to her. Perry rolled her eyes. It's like it was totally her fault…. She and Carmilla had been doing…. Other things. So that hadn't left much time for studying Christmas songs. So, yeah. Sorry not sorry Perry.

Despite this, the friends set off. Their first stop was the dorms on the very outskirts of the campus, then they would work their way across campus, before ending back up at Laura and Carmilla's room.

So, with that plan in mind, the group knocked on their first day and began singing. They were a little off key and out of tune ("You see? I told you we should have scheduled in practices." "Pear, this isn't Pitch Perfect").

But, as the night wore on they got a hang of it. They got more in tune and most of the time, it would be a good minute before the grumpy college students shut the doors in their faces. Plus, when they stopped off at the Zeta frat house, LaF and Laura pushed Danny the front of their little huddle since Kirsch answered the door. The two made eye contact as Danny sang.

Afterwards, the two could not shut up about how adorable of a couple Danny and Kirsch would be. "I totally ship Zeta Society, though." LaF said in between a bout of chuckles.

Danny shoved her hands in her pockets and pretended not to hear- and with the height difference between her and Laura and LaFontaine, it was quite a plausible excuse. Even Carmilla couldn't help but smirk at the jock girl dating the human puppy.

The five of them crammed themselves back into Laura and Carmilla's dorm room later that evening. Every single one of their voices were sore from the night of jollies. But it was worth it, since they had a lot more fun than one should have Christmas caroling.

They drank loads of coco (some of which may or may not have been spiked with alcohol) and talked and laughed. Perry, of course, made cookies and brownies.

As they were all in good, holiday cheer, Carmilla silently thanked Laura for making her go out caroling. As well as for everything else the girl did for her.
