Advent Calendar: Day 10: Party

Theta had spent the best part of a week sulking. In standard time it was coming up to Christmas but Koschei and other friends of his were refusing to listen or show any interest in the season. They weren't human, they didn't care about the season of good will to all men. Theta did. When it had got to the point where one of his friends snapped at him to shut the hell up about Christmas, Theta had done, but he had made it perfectly clear then that he wasn't happy about it.

On what would've been Christmas Eve if they were on Earth, Theta was heading back to the dorm he shared with Koschei after his last lecture of the day, when he heard the undeniable sound of Christmas music. Confusion set in and he rushed to the room. Koschei was stood waiting for him, grinning nervously, along with a couple other of their friend. Theta smiled back a little suspiciously.

"You want Christmas," Koschei said, rolling his eyes slightly, "We'll give you a Christmas party."

Theta grinned, walked over and wrapped his arms around Koschei and kissed him.

Their friends rolled their eyes and one muttered, "You know we can leave if you want to make this a party for two."

Theta smiled at him, "Is that an option?" and his friends only response was to throw a pillow at him.
