Me: This last idea was brought to you by 'yoshiman32892'. I know I already did the three requests that I would do, but since it's 2 days to Christmas and his request was so...christmasy, I thought I do it anyway. Enjoy. (:

Twas the night of the Academy Christmas party, and all through party, everyone chattered, ate, drank, and was merry enough to last them next year. Well, except for the pink haired Meister Crona. The boy never cared much for the holiday especially since it was this time of the year that Medusa would normally get drunk and hit him harder than usual. But with a forced smile, the Meister chatted with Maka as Soul played the piano (He was payed a LOT to do this).

Eruka was also not very festive. Through out the year, being forced into a contract of whether she would die or live in a city filled with trained killers, didn't exactly put her in the best mood for the holidays. Although she's adapted very well, the witch still couldn't help but feel a pang of emptiness inside of her soul. As if to question her very existence.

But unbeknownst to our dear Crona and Eruka, there were two boisterous students who had tricks up their sleeves.

"You got it?" asked Black*Star as he and his accomplice hid in the back of the room.

"Do I?" asked Patty as she pulled out a fishing rod and a mistletoe, "This is gonna be the best prank yet! Even better than last year when we got Sid to kiss Miss Marie!"

"I know! Nygus looked so shocked!" It was a Christmas tradition. Every year, Black*Star and Patty would deliberately force someone under a mistletoe and have them lock lips. Last year, they had gotten the now-Zombie Sid and Marie to kiss, which was topped off with Nygus walking in and nearly falling over in astonishment.

But this year, the target was Crona and Eruka.

"Merry Christmas, Crona!" cheered Maka as she walked over to the pink haired boy.

"Oh. Merry Christmas." Crona said back as he smiled at the blond. She was holding a box that was wrapped up as she presented it to him.

"Here, open it!" she instructed. Crona nodded as he unwrapped the red and green wrapping paper to see it was an MP3 Player and headphones. "What do you think, Crona?" She asked nervously, the gift having been a last-minute decision Originally, she would have gotten Crona a book, but Soul told her 'That's just not cool, even for you'.

"Thanks, Maka." Crona told her, appreciating the fact somebody went out of there way for him, "But...I wasn't-"

"Don't worry about it." Maka assured him, "The fact that you liked it-"

"HEY CRONA!" interrupting the moment, and possibly scaring Crona half way to an early grave, was Black*Star as the ninja got the Meister's attention.

"What do you want, Black*Star?!" Maka was far from pleased how the ninja snuck up on them like a...like a...well, like a ninja.

"Sorry, Maka." Black*Star quickly said, "But I gotta show Crona something." he quickly told him.

"Can't it wait? And better yet, why didn't you just bring it with you?" Maka asked suspiciously.

"It's...a guy thing. No girls allowed." Black*Star swiftly lied.

"Yeah right." Maka told him, "I'm not buying this bull." Black*Star groaned as he looked around for a way to distract Maka. He smirked when he saw Spirit walking by.

"Hey! Death Scythe!" Black*Star called, getting the attention of the red-haired man, "Maka needs your help!"

"She does?!"

"Black*Star, don't-" Maka couldn't stop it. Spirit had rushed over and began to smother his daughter in affection. As he asked question after question, forcing Maka to answer as she tried to squirm away, a snickering Black*Star was dragging Crona away. (If you do anything to hurt Crona, I swear to Death...)

"Wow, Eruka, that dress looks amazing on you!" Liz squealed as she sat down with the Witch, "Where did you get it?"

"Oh, this? I just bought it from the mall a week ago. A sort of 'Merry Christmas' to me." Eruka was in a black, elegant dress. It was simply, but it was comfortable and fashionable.

"You've got good taste, Eruka! You gotta come shopping with me next time!" Liz gushed.

"Really? Well-"

"Eruka-Chan!" Patty cried as she ran between her now pale sister and the Witch, "Crona needs your help right now!"

"Eh?" Eruka had a look of urgency for the sake of the Meister, "What's wrong?"

"He wouldn't say! But he said he needed your help!" Patty pointed through the crowd to show Crona standing all alone, looking confused as he looked around. "See?"

"Well...I better see whats up." Eruka got up and walked towards Crona. As she walked away, Liz leered at her twin.

"Alright, Patty. What's the deal?"

"Where did Black*Star go?" questioned Crona as he looked around, helpless. One second, Black*Star was shoving him in a random direction and the next, he vanished as if he was some kind of ninja. Crona was now lost and confused. " I don't know how to deal with being ditched like this..."

"Crona." He turned his head to see Eruka walk up to him, "What's up with you? Why did you need my help?"

"Huh?" Crona was even more confused, "I...I didn't ask for help."

"Huh?" now Eruka was lost, "Patty said you needed my help. Isn't that why you were wondering around?"

"N-no. Black*Star told me he had something to tell me. But he's not here." Eruka and Crona were both puzzled. Something was definitely up, like the mistletoe over there heads.

...Wait, what?

"HEY EVERYBODY!" screamed Patty as everyone gave her their attention, "LOOK WHO GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE MISTLETOE!" Everybody turned to see Crona and Eruka both under the mistletoe and now both with rose red cheeks. "YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!"

"KISS! KISS! KISS!" the crowd chanted as everyone watched the scene. Both of them looked mortified and embarrassed.

(I can't believe Black*Star set Crona up like this!) Maka thought, absolutely fuming with rage. She could see the Ninja on the ceiling as he lowered the mistletoe with a fishing lure. Soul was snickering at the Ninja's stunt. Liz just sighed as Patty laughed her ass off.

"How immature." said Kid as he watched with amusement.

"Oh, Black*Star." giggled Tsubaki.

(Oh God! What do I do?! I don't know how to deal with having to kiss a girl!) Crona thought, completely petrified as his face got brighter with brighter. Eruka felt and looked the same.

(Ribbit! How did I get stuck in this mess?!) This couldn't possibly get much more awkward. It was so awkward that you could actually get it with a blade. Neither looked as though they would make the first move.

Then Ragnarok popped out and pushed Crona.

Crona fell forward, just enough for his lips to be pushed onto Eruka's. Their lips were not interlocked. Feelings rushed along their bodies as the crowd cheered.

On one hand, they felt embarrassed about them both having their first kisses in such a situation.

On the other...they were actually enjoying it.

As the crowd cheered, Crona and Eruka quickly separated themselves. Both faces beet red.

"Well, that was amusing." chuckled Lord Death.

"I knew it would happen eventually." Stein said as if it was obvious, taking five dollars from Sid, who looked cross.

And there we go! The first Eruka X Crona piece in this entire collection! Funny how on Chapter 20 we ACTUALLY see romance between the two, despite it being subtly, and horribly hinted by the writer. But now that it's out there...would do you guys think?

Also, Happy Holidays!
