Eve sat idly by the fireplace, watching curiously as the rest of the elgang set everything up. Rena had insisted they get a "Christmas Tree". Eve was not aware of this tradition set by humans.
In fact it was because of this that Rena had made the excuse that it had to be done. The elf herself was busying with everything. She currently stood with a bowl of cookie dough, pointing her spoon at Elsword, commanding that he do something rather than stand around. He responded with a pout and in turn was smacked on the back of his head by Elesis.
She looked at the tree, which was coming along quite beautifully. Chung assisted Ara in decorating it. The two laughed and smiled at each other. Chung's face morphed into one of surprise as Ara yet again tripped over some tinsel left out. The girl got up and rubbed her head shyly. He offered a hand and it was accepted.
"Cocoa, everyone!" Aisha called out, a floating tray with mugs following her around. The two red headed siblings rushed over to her and took them eagerly. Elsword received a smack to his head from her staff.
"Ladies first, Eldork." She stuck out her tongue.
"Does that include you or something?" He flicked her forehead. She blushed, and puffed up her cheeks.
"Don''t fight, you two, keep the peace." Raven placed a hand on Aisha's head. She huffed and walked away, delivering cocoa to the others. Add blushed, Eve noticed, when he was offered some. He acted cold and refused it, although. Eve saw through it, and apparently so did everyone else. Raven chuckled at him, and his blush grew. He muttered something and grabbed a cup. The rest of the gang laughed at him. He turned around and sipped at his drink.
"CIIIIIEEELL!" Lu cried out from somewhere in the kitchen. "I WANT THEM NOW!"
Then came Ciel carrying a squirming Lu by the collar of her dress. "No. You must wait." He calmly stated, setting her down and patting her head. She pouted but soon after, began to hop around everyone. She sat beside Elesis on the couch and began to chatter excitedly to the girl's amusement.
Eve watched quietly as everyone did their share. Aisha came to her and gave her a cup with a smile. Eve blushed lightly and accepted it. She watched as Aisha bonked Elsword on the head again for doing something. He turned around with an irritated face. Rena poked her head from the kitchen with a scary smile. The two laughed nervously and backed away. She gave a nod and went back to her cooking.
Add dashed inside on his dynamos, letting a blast of cold wind inside the cabin. He shook snow from his hair and walked to the fireplace. Eve was surprised as he took a bundle of wood from his dynamos and tossed some on the fire. He avoided her eyes as he walked away, to his cocoa which he had left.
Ciel walked out of the kitchen again, an apron tied to him. He placed a plate of cookies on the little table in the middle of the room. Lu gave an excited gasp and ran to grab some. Eve saw Add eyeing them. She let a small smile flit past her lips as she sipped her cocoa.
Suddenly, soft music started playing. Elesis carried a small radio in her arms and set it down.
"Aisha! Could you bring down all the presents and put them under the tree please?" Rena called out from the kitchen. Aisha hopped up and ran to the stair way, mumbling some words and waving her staff. A long line of gifts came floating down and arranged themselves under the tree. Eve was pleased, knowing she had followed the tradition of buying gifts for everyone. She had actually dragged Add along, making him carry everything.
"Let's have a snowball fight?" Elsword casually asked. Elesis jumped up.
"Oh you're on little bro!" She smiled eagerly.
"Boys vs girls?" He smiled.
"Alright!" Elesis ran out the door, leaving it swinging.
"Oi! Shut the door!" Rena yelled out.
"Aren't you coming?" Aisha poked her head inside the kitchen.
"Nope, I'm cooking. You guys go have fun."
Aisha nodded and hopped out the door.
"Ciel, I demand we join in!" Lu hopped up and down. Said man sighed but nodded. "That means I fight against you! Be prepared!" She ran outside as well. Ciel walked calmly along with Raven.
"Add come on! We need you on our team!" Elsword called out to the teen. Add made an annoyed face.
"Eve! Come here!" Aisha and Elesis stood, eagerly awaiting her.
"You should go, it'll be your first snowball fight." Rena leaned against the kitchen doorway. Eve nodded hesitantly.
Add followed her movements with his eyes. He grumbled but nodded anyway.
"Woop!" Elesis beamed. "We've got even teams. Ara, Chung?"
The two looked at each other. "Um.. I wouldn't be very useful to you.." Ara fiddled with her hair.
"You don't really need me. Besides, we'll help Rena with cooking." Chung stated. Elesis nodded.
"We can use our skills right? Or is it just snow?" Aisha sat on her staff.
"Hmm..Skills! It'll be more fun that way, right sis?" Elsword turned to his sister.
"Yeah, we can do that." She wooped. "Come on team, lets go!" She raised her fist and led the way.
Raven shook his head. "Sometimes I cant believe she's actually older than Elsword." Nonetheless, he followed his red headed leader.
Both sides had their forts built quickly and were ready behind them.
"So..the point is to throw balls of snow at the other team?" Eve cocked her head.
"Pretty much." Aisha grinned. "I call Els by the way!"
Elesis frowned but accepted it. "Raven here then."
"Ciel is mine!" Lu eagerly hopped.
"Those things sure are useful." Elsword commented on Add's dynamos building snowballs for them. Add scoffed.
"I did make them. Why wouldn't they be? Tch" He Looked away. Elsword shrugged.
A voice suddenly called out. "Alright! Here we go!" Elesis came bounding in, arms full of snowballs.
"Crap! Defense!" Elsword aimed and pelted her with balls. She dodged them nimbly. Aisha came in from the side. She waved her staff and snowballs flew toward the boys. They ducked. Add dashed away on his dynamos, being the first to go on offense, but he had a specific target in mind.
Eve had been left to guard the fort, as the objective of their game was to win the other teams fort. She was sitting calmly beside a large pile of snowballs. Moby and Remy were at the ready eagerly awaiting their chance to be useful. She let out a breath, watching it float away. She was alerted, by Remy of his arrival.
She stood up. He was grinning and dashing full speed towards her. She raised a brow. She gestured and her drones whirred, pelting the lad with snow. He halted, rethinking his plan, zooming away.
Meanwhile a fierce war was occurring at the other fort. Snow was flying at high speeds from every direction. Elesis melted all coming towards her with a fiery hand. Aisha merely reflected them and sent more back. Lu braved it head on and charged.
Ara jumped with fright as the door slammed open and figures fell inside.
"Get off me!" Elsword yelled from the bottom of the pile. Elesis laughed and rolled away, getting up. Aisha huffed.
"Lu pushed me so shut up." She hopped up. Eve walked by the commotion quietly, followed by Add. He shook snow from his hair, still blushing. As it happened, his second attempt to raid the fort succeeded, but he also ended up falling on Eve...
"So who won?" Rena came from the kitchen, a large pot in her arms.
"The guys did, but it was fun." Elesis grinned and walked towards the kitchen. "Need help setting the table?"
"Yeah, thanks." Rena smiled brightly. Raven also joined them.
The table was soon set, and everything looked amazing.
"Geez Rena! You didn't have to make this much!" Aisha gleefully exclaimed. The elf laughed.
"After dinner, we open presents." Rena stated.
Dinner passed with merriment and laughter throughout, everyone was happy and sated.
"Here bro, from me." Elesis handed her brother a large, heavy package. He grinned and tore it open. A large new sword was inside.
"Woah, thanks sis!" He gave a few swings. "I actually got you something too..but it's probably not as great." He sheepishly rubbed his neck. She laughed.
"Of course it's not. I'll love it anyways." She ruffled his hair, to his embarrassment. He had actually gotten her a Velder Knight scarf, which she did like quite a bit. Rena handed out everyone's gifts with the help of Lu.
Eve curiously unwrapped her first gift, from Elesis as well, being careful not to tear the paper, despite being told she didn't have to be so cautious. She refused to vigorously tear everything like Aisha and Elsword. Elesis had given her a pink hair bow, seemingly of expensive material. She moved on to the others. Rena had gifted her a new dress, black and pink, as was her style, Aisha gave her a book. She made a mental note to read it soon.
"Elsword! You seriously gave everyone a scarf!?" Aisha's yelling interrupted her peaceful opening of gifts.
"Hey!" He dodged a swing of her staff. "I'm not good at stuff like this!" He muttered. Everyone laughed at the scene. Eve noticed Add sitting apart from the group, a distant, forlorn look on his face as he stared outside at the falling snow. It seems the others had noticed as well. Rena whispered something to Aisha and the mage nodded.
"Add, all of us have something for you too." Rena smiled. He looked surprised, but tried to play it off as indifferent.
"Yep! Here, we couldn't really put it with everything else.." Aisha handed him a box. It was large. He nervously accepted it. Eve watched with an amused face as he opened it. His features displayed surprise and a small blush flew across his face.
"Wh-what?!" He blinked at the small kitten in the box.
"Merry Christmas Add!" They chorused. His face grew crimson. The little white kitten poked it's head out and mewed.
"What do I ..do with it?" He looked flustered.
"Keep her! She's your new pet!" Elesis grinned wickedly. He cautiously raised a hand above it's head. The kitten sniffed at him, then nudged his hand. He withdrew his hand and cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Um..thanks...I guess." He mumbled. They all knew he had a soft spot for cats. It was Elesis although, who suggested they get him one. Eve suddenly remembered, she also had a gift for him. She excused herself and quickly walked to her room to get the small box.
She took the advantage of the commotion to go to him, seeing he was already playing with his kitten. She coughed lightly and he jerked away from it. She hid a smile at that.
"I have... a gift for you." She held out the box. He stared at it for a second.
"Th-thanks..."
As she turned to leave, he called out. "Wait-I have-something for you too." He reached into his pocket and tossed her a little box. She caught it and was about to say something when-
"Look where those two are standing!" Aisha pointed with a wicked grin. Eve and Add looked up.
Mistletoe.
"According to human tradition...beneath this certain plant-"
"Yeah I know how it works." He closed his eyes with a somewhat irritated face. She noticed him blushing again.
"Well? We're waiting, lovebirds." Elesis called out in a sing-song voice. Rena giggled.
Add opened his eyes again, meeting her own. Eve kept still. She felt him gently grasp her arms with his hands and pull her to him.
"Damn it." He whispered before softly pressing his lips against hers. She was frozen with surprise. She heard laughing and woots from the others. Rena had pulled Raven down and also gave him a long kiss. She was aware of the fact that Add had not yet let go, or moved away yet. She felt his hot breath on her lips and felt her face warm slightly.
"I-uh-whatever." He mumbled, pushing away and leaving her, face tinged pink. Eve lifted a finger to touch her lips.
Later, in her room she opened his gift to her. A necklace, small, but beautiful. A silver feather was the pendant hanging from a thin chain. She smiled.
In his room, Add felt a grin creep it's way onto his face. Chocolates. Homemade. Eve had made him chocolates. He let out a laugh as he popped one into his mouth and wondered how many tries it had taken her to get it right.
So, Christmas wasn't so bad after all. Two different people, smiled at their first Christmas, and began to count til the next. Mistletoe wasn't too bad either...
Well, cliche and cheesy... :D Hehehe... but Add got a kitteh! Oh yeah, sorry Babylon1914, he didn't give Eve a 52 mile long apology note :P I seriously couldn't think of anything so I just went with that... Anyway! Wherever you are, whoever you are, whether you celebrate it or not, I want to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and hope that you gave a great day :D Now i really need sleep...
