Christmas - Secret Santa
The guild was alight with colour and music danced through the air. Chattering and laughter chimed like silver bells on this Christmas day.
"Merry Christmas everyone!" A white haired beauty shouted from the stage. "It's time for Secret Santa!"
The guild members cheered and made their way to the Christmas tree that waz filled woth baubles and tinsel. A fairy with a tail stood atop the mess of pine needles and sparkley ornaments.
I looled around for my present. Everyone around me had happy faces while opening their various gifts. Soon, there was nothing left under the tree. I felt embarrassed. I was the only one left without a gift.
"Hey Luce!" I heard Natsu shout my familiar nickname. I turned to see him standing there, his cheeks tinted pink from the liquer sloshing around in his glass. "You ready for your Secret Santa present?"
I looked confused and stared quizically at the tipzy dragon.
He handed me a little parcel. I opened it to see a pure gold ring decorated with four small, square diamonds that alternated with three oval shaped sapphires. I gasped.
"Natsu, it's beautiful," I breathed but I knew he heard it. Enhanced hearing and all. "But, you do kmow the aim of Secret Santa is that it's anonymous, right?"
"What does anonymous mean?" He asksd while scratching the back of his head, slightly embarrassed.
"Silly dragon," I mumbled. I slipped the ornate ring onto my finger and allowed Natsu to guide me over to the buffet.
For a dense idiot, he sure knew what to buy a girl.
