The Christmas fic-"THE PERFECT GIFT"

~some out of character at times

So what does happen when its Christmas at Hellsing?

Chapter 1: Decor, gifts, and monocles

The wonderful Hellsing manor was decked with most likely thousands of decorations throughout the inside and out. Even a bowl of candy canes were at the main entrance just as soon as you walked in. It was all so very cheery for a change and not so dark and silent. Everyone was filled with Christmas spirit! Even Integra and Alucard. It was the night before Christmas, everything was just perfect, and the tree all decorated with many presents under it for Alucard, Seras, Walter, and Integra. The soldiers didn't get any privilege of a gift for every guy, but if they wanted to exchange gifts there was no bother. Sure, they were a bit neglected, but how could you get gifts for all those soldiers? No one did complain at all, possibly in fear of Integra snapping at them.

Alucard lay quietly in his bed, thinking of the perfect gift...for Integra. Yeah, he got her one under the tree, but it just wasn't enough. He wanted to really express himself this year and what better way to do it than on Christmas.

"THIS SUCKS!" Alucard yelled from agitation. He wanted to get her a gift that was so meaningful and so caring but he just couldn't figure it out.

Meanwhile...

Seras was listening to her Walkman playing some Christmas music to get her more in the spirit. She loved this holiday, but it was the first one as a vampire, that scared her. She came up with the idea of listening to holiday music to uplift her. She really did want to enjoy herself. She had all her gifts ready and under the tree. She was overly proud of her selections. Just one more day.

Meanwhile (again)...

Integra was in a deep slumber. She wasn't overly happy about Christmas, never was. She always missed out on the mom and dad gifts her whole teen years, and for that matter it was always with the same people- now just with Seras along.

Meanwhile (once more)...

Walter was sneaking out of his room, into the pitch-black manor, holding a hill of gifts. He tried ever so quietly to sneak them under the tree at the last minute. Carefully, he put all of them down, each one he put in just the oh so perfect spot. Just then, as he arose to get back to his room, his monocle fell out.

"SHIT!" he whispered in an irritated voice and stomped his foot.

He went down on his knees feeling around for it, looking, and trying to see through the dark if anyone was coming. He stood up, and decided to walk backwards slowly, and make sure he didn't step on it. But, he tripped on one of the presents, he forgot to put that one under the tree and it was placed on the flood, he fell to the ground, and all was heard was a crack. Such as glass breaking, like a monocle. Walter's fall was almost silent, just by the way he attempted to save himself with his hands. Then he realized the crack. He turned around and felt all the pieces.

"OH SHIT!" he yelled out with no thought

"Walter?" Seras's voice emerged from the darkness, "Is that you?"

"Yes, Miss Victoria." Walter replied embarrassed "I yelled because I seemed to have broken my monocle. It's all in pieces now."

"I never heard you say a word like that before." she said

"Well..."

Seras flicked on the light switch and the room became illuminated. Walter began picking up the pieces of his monocle. Luckily he had a spare. He rose up from the floor and went in the kitchen to dispose of the pieces Seras walked away back to whatever she was previously doing. Walter than returned to his room to sleep for the night.

NEXT DAY: 8 hours before opening of the gifts

All day Alucard searched, and searched for the perfect gift. He was still searching. The Internet, magazines and even stores. Alucard was about to give up and go back to the manor when he spotted a jeweler across the street. The idea of the perfect gift had finally popped into Alucard's head. Why didn't he think of this before? It was so perfect and so genuine, it was the perfect gift. And he had the whole night out.
