It is X-mas time! Ancients Radiant and Dire are at peace. For now. So the Heroes are having a good time. Most are mingling with their enemies, some are doing fun, though a few prefers to be alone. One of those Heroes is Yurnero the Juggrnaut.

Yurnero preferred to do some training and looked for a place to be alone. He found himself going under a tree he never knows.

"This looks a good spot." said Yurnero to himself. Little did he know, he was not alone. He heard a girlish voice call him not so far from his distance.

"Juggernaut!" called out Rylai the Crystal Maiden in a happy voice. She propped herself from lying down on the snow into sitting up. When she saw Yurnero, she gave him a beaming smile. "I knew it's your voice when I heard it!"

"Crystal Maiden!" Yurnero was quite surprised to see her after learning he was not alone. "What are you doing here? The better question is, what are you actually doing?" he added when he was wondering what is Rylai doing lying in the snow.

Rylai giggled. "I'm just making snow angels."

"Snow angels?"

"Yeah. Snow angels. See those marks on the snow? Those are snow angels. All you have to do is lie down on the snow, arms and legs stretched out sideways, and move them up and down. Just like what I'm doing right now." she showed Yurnero how to make a snow angel. "It's simple." she concluded and stood up. "See? I made eight already. Aren't they beautiful?"

"And childish too." commented Yurnero.

Rylai just pouted before becoming friendly again. "So, Juggernaut. What are you doing here alone?"

"Same goes to you too." retorted Yurnero.

"Well, I invited some Heroes to join me in making snow angels but they declined. So, I'm the one doing it. Later, I'm going to attend the party tonight. You're going to join too, right, Juggernaut?"

"No."

"Huh? But why?"

"Because I never wanted to."

"Aww. That's too bad. You should join. It's a season of peace and friendship between Radiant and Dire."

"Still not interested."

"Awww... Hey, would you like to join me in creating snow angels?"

"No."

"Oh, okay... Oh!" Rylai giggled.

"What's so funny?"

"Look above you."

Yurnero did and saw three red berries hanging above him. "What about it?"

"There's a belief that a boy and girl standing below the mistletoe will have good luck and fortune. And to make it work, they need to share a kiss." she looked at him wearing a beaming smile. "I'm going to kiss you for good luck!"

"What?" Yurnero was quite surprised when Rylai did give his mask a quick kiss on the spot where his lips should be.

After the kiss, Rylai gave him a beaming smile. "Done!"

"... That's all?" Yurnero asked.

"Yup! It should be on your lips but I know you don't remove your mask, so that's okay!"

Yurnero was silent for a while before answering. "That was unsatisfying." he surprised her when he removed his mask.

Rylai was still surprised when he faced her without his mask. Shocked when he kissed her on the lips. Lips to lips. It was a long one kiss and Rylai was loving it.

Yurnero looked at Rylai after kissing her. He smiled when Rylai wanted more. "Well?"

Rylai recovered from her heavenly feeling and blushed. "Y-you kissed me!?"

"You kissed me too."

"B-but, I know. It's just that, th-that you never remove your mask! You never show your face!"

"I know." he said and wore his mask again.

They remained silent before Yurnero spoke. "Before we meet the others, will you promise me not to tell anyone about my face?"

"... Okay."

"Thank you."

"So, um... Shall we go now?"

Yurnero nodded and both he and Rylai walked side by side.


AN: Merry X-mas, Readers!
