Pewdie's P.O.V.

The day has finally come! Christmas day. I'll be visiting Cry today at the place called Clover Manor, Luca said he is currently living there. I checked the digital clock beside my bed, 7:30 a.m. wow, i'm way to excited today, I told myself. I tried to go back to sleep but to no avail so I just went with it and woke up. I walked lazily to the kitchen to look for something to eat. I found a cereal box inside one of the cupboards and a carton of milk in the refrigirator, yeah that's good enough i guess...

I poured the food articles in a yellow bowl and grabbed a spoon as i did so. I'm seriously still sleepy. My eyes dropped a few times as i walked to the living room. I grabbed the remote control that settled on the coffee table in front of the couch and scanned the channels. I paused as soon as i found a familiar show, Adventure Time, me and Cry love this show, we would always watch it when we have the time A.K.A always.

I laid on the soft cushon and watched the cartoon that lasted around an hour. The time seem to move so slowly, it bugged me alot. I just thought to myself,Why not just go there now? and i just follow this little thought. I quickly took a shower and fixed myself up. A little box, wrapped in christmas paper layed silently on the table; it was supposedly a present for Cry. I grabbed tis little box a left to the place in plan.

The cold bitter gale of winter hit me in all sides. My scarf and leather jacket gave me minimal warmth though. but contary to this, i liked the feeling of the cold, i don't know why still.

I continued to walk in the slow covered pavement, passing through multiple houses that gave of a scent of cinnamon and eggnog and all that christmas stuff. A large building, leafless trees in it's sides, came into sight. I think i'm here. I stood in front of the door for a few seconds, thinking to myself if this is the right place. Suddenly, the door opened revealing a creature with purple hair.

"See ya Bitches! I'll be back before the next twenty-four hours!" The thing said, it was a male obviously, based on the tone of his voice.

Huh?!

"Oh Hey Pewdie!~"

"What?" I said, breaking from my trance. Luca was standing in front of me, prim and proper as always, a brown leather jacket was placed above his usual clothing; waving his hand in front of me.

"You alright Pewdie?" The Purple haired one said.

"Oh, Hi Luca."

He held a brown leather suitcase in his free hand and he seems to be going somewhere. It's Christmas, where would he go? Family? Friends? I don't know.

"Where are you going Bro?" I asked, pointing at the suitcase.

"Oh just going off somewhere" He replied, a wide smirk plastered on his face. "Oh yes, I forgot. What do you want for Christmas Pewds?"

What? Is he some kind of an urban Santa Claus?

"Why do you ask?"

"It's a habit okay... Every year, Iris, Miki, Rhia, and Sven usually ask for a Christmaspresent and sometimes Layle asks too,and now since you're my friend too I'm asking you what you want!"

*Flashback*

Luca's P.O.V

"Hey, hey Layle, What do you want for christmas?" I asked just like with everyone else.

"Why do you ask brother?"

"What? I'm just asking for what you want right? What else?"

"Well you keep giving out stuff, don't you want a present too?"

"Well now that you mention it..." I pondered on the little question and eventually came with an answer, "I want to give what Layle wants!"

…

...

"I want a Sister-in-law"

"Oh okay!"

…

…

…

"Um... Where exactly do you get sister-in-laws anyway? Amazon?"

"Luca, you can't have that..."

"Why not?"

"it's because you need to get married first..."

"Oh ok then..." I kneeled on the ground and grabbed his hand, "Layle, Will you marry me?"

"NO!"

*flashback end*

"Is this some kind of a joke?"

"Nope!"

"Uh... ok..." I doubt he can get this in less than five minutes. "Give me my usual cappuchino"

"You sure about that Pewds? You know you're wasting your First christmas wish on a usual drink right?"

"Yeah I know."

"Ok then..."

Luca opens his briefcase, extracting a porcelain cup and a kettle; steam comming out from the hot object. Apparently it contains coffee. As he poured the black liquid in the white porcelain cup the scent of it wafted around the area. Soon enough he returned the kettle into the case and exchanged it with a bottle of hot milk (I know what you're thinking, A bottle of hot milk? Yes, I can't think of anything else soo...) and poured it to the already hot coffee. Finally he gets a bottle of cinnamon and puts some on top of the mixture.

"Here Pewds, Cappuchino, low fat milk, with cinnamon on top. Just the way you like it!" He handed the drink to me and i gladly accepted it, It was abit hotter to the touch thhan usual but other than that, it's the same thing Luca gives me in the cafe.

"Uh... thanks..."

"Ok I'll be leaving then! See you tommorrow!"

We bid ferwells with him and I continued on the thing I was supposed to do.

I walked up the marble steps and came face to face with a wooden door; it had an ingraving of a four-leaf clover on it. I opened it and it revealed a wide lobby, couches on the left side and a hallway on the far right. The receptionist's area was directly right in front of me and a funky looking girl sat there. She had red hair and a unique hat that has a bunny pin, conitnuing to her clothes, he wore a blue tee with black horizontal lines that were parallel to each other, and lastly a white short tie on her neck. Other than that, I don't know for it was concealed be the wooden table that lied in front of her.

"Hello! My name is Miki, I'm the welcometo the Clover Manor!" She exclaimed happily, "Would you like a room good sir?"

"uh... no I came her to visit someone..." I stated.

"Oh you must be Pewdie!" A smile visible on her face. How does she know my name?

"Do you know me?"

"Yeah! Luca keeps talking about you!" Wow, he apparently talks about me here.

"Really?"

"Really!"

A figure appeared in the corner of my eye. It was him... CRY!?

Cry's P.O.V

Today was that said day that Luca planned all this time, Pewd's is visiting. I should be excited about this because i haven't seen him for quite some time already, but for reasons unknown i'm scared, extremely scared and nervous.

I rubbed the sand out off my eyes and stretched my arms. The cold winter winds has somehow seeped into my room and now i am freezing, good thing i didn't turn on the AC last night. I stood up and directly went straight into the shower and set it to the ideal temperature i wanted it. As I stripped my clothes off, I was thinking on what possible events could happen in the suceeding hours, atleast, please make it enjoyable for both of us.

A green towel was loosely wrapped around my waist as i exited the shower in search for some clothes. I wanted this to be as casual as possible so I ended up with a blue tee with nothing particular on it, some blue jeans and my Black converses. This is enough I guess...

On my table there was a christmas present placed there, a green nametag was stuck to it.

"Ho Ho Ho! Merry Chrismas Cry, This is for you! -Luca"

The heck? I never asked for a present from Luca nor anyone to be precise but, meh, mind as well open it then. I carefully tore the red and green christmas wrap and it revealed a brown box containing a beanie. It was a white beanie, the sup guy I have always known was on it, mutiple of them actually. Cute... I wore the little present and proceeded outside. As usual Iris' baked goods waft across the spruce wood hallway. What did she cook today, I'm quite intreaged to know. Luca told me that in such special occasions, Iris cooks a special thing, i'm still not sure what's this special thing is actually.

Voices came from the lobby as i walked towards there, Two voices, one was Miki's and the other one was a guy; it sounded really familiar but somehow I couldn't pinpoint it.

"Oh you must be Pewdie!" I heard Miki say excitedly.

... ... ... ... WHAT!? IT'S TO EARLY! I screamed silently, cold sweat appearing on my face.

"Don't worry cry, just keep it cool." I told myself.

I slowly walked to the lobby, trying to act as natural as possible.

"Cry!" I heard pewds shout as I entered the lobby.

He ran towards me and hugged me, Miki was giggling at the background.

I didn't know what to do so i just hugged back. We broke the hug and we gave our greetings.

"Morning Cry-sama~" Iris said, rushing towards me while holding a plate of freshly baked tarts, "Merry Christmas!"

The smell of different berries mixed with a tatch of cinnamon filled the room, so this is the special thing Luca was talking about.

"Here Cry! Grab as many as you like!~"Iris cheered.

"No fair Iris, you're giving him lots while me and sven get only one!" Miki Protested.

Iris grinned at Miki, "It's because Cry-sama's Special!"

Miki huffed then sighed, "Ok... fine"

I ended up grabbing a few of them, they tasted like heaven, really delectable and just the tartness of the berries really complement the sweetness of the custard under it.

"Cry-sama, who's this?" She said as she pointed at Pewds.

"Oh yeah I haven't indroduced you guys yet, this is-" my sentence was broken because somebody pushed me down by accident.

"Oh! Sorry Cry! I didn't mean to make you fall!" Avan state, still half asleep. His hair was still at a mess, I presume he just woke up.

"It's no problem Avan" I picked myself up.

"Oh yeah I forgot!" Avan cried, he then ran back to the room. He came out carrying a small box that is covered by red and green christmas wrap. "Marry Christmas Cry! This is for you!" He said as he handed me the box.

"Oh, thanks Avan..." I accepted the gift.

"Open it!"

I gently removed the wrap, exposing a brown box. I removed the cover and extracted the object inside it.

"A rubix cube?" I asked.

"No Cry, It's not." He giggled, "It's called a Menger Sponge."

"A..." Miki slowly said

"Meager..." Pewdie continued...

"Sponge...?"And Cry finished.

Suddenly out of the blue

"Oh hey! Its a meager sponge!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Everyone screamed in surprise except Iris.

"Luca?! You're back?!"

"I forgot something"

"Ok..." Miki stuttered.

"Luca-chan do you know what a Mangar Spongi is?" Iris questioned

"Yes, i do, and Iris it's a Menger sponge, Meng-ger-spun-dge."

"Hmph! So you know what it is?" Avan snorted.

" insert luca rambling"

Everyone was in a trance of confusion. Apparently Luca only had made it worse for everyone.

"Okay people! I'm leaving now, see you tommorow!"

Everyone waved goodbye at the leaving male but then Iris ran after him, "Luca get your Tarts!"

"Where will Luca go to Miki?" I asked.

"I don't know Cry, sorry" She pouted.

Iris huffed back with an empty tray, sweat appearing on her forehead as she walked back to the kitchen to do more stuff.

Pewdie was sitting on one of the leather couches. He gestured to come sit beside him and I did.

"How are you pewds?" I asked senscirely, biting on one of the tarts.

"Oh i'm fine, me and Marzia always talk about you in the cafe. I've always wanted to see you again."

After that first few words, everything I heard went blank except for one word, and that word was Marzia. I never knew why but every time I hear her name I get furious. It's not that I don't try to calm myself about it but still.

Pewdie continued to chatter about her and there time together. A heavy feeling came in me and the thought finally hits me,

it was all a lie...

"So you feel happy with her huh?" I mumbled.

He looked at me, dumbfoundedly. "What are you talking about Cry?"

"I'm talking about her! Marzia! That bitch that you continue to talk about!"

"Cry, calm down! Me and Marzia are just friends!"

"Thenwhy is she the only one in that little head of yours?" My vision started to blur, I know I was going to cry so I steped back and ran for the door, slamming it shut. I hear him call for me but I ignore it. I can't hold on to this any time longer.

I turn my back away from you, then started to run

I got to get away before you see my tears drop

My happiness is impossible to be won

I cut myself with my ideal future.

I ran, I ran unknowing where I was running to. I didn't care about it. I didn't care about the people who see me crying. I don't care about anything at that time. Everything just felt so numb. I couldn't run anymore so I ended up sitting on a nearby bench.

The freezing cold wind harrased me as I cried on the park bench. I didn't care, didn't care if anyone saw, didn't care if anyone cared. I just want to be alone...

"C-cry?" A voice rose behind me. I turned around to see who it was. The person had short messy red hair, multiple hairpins stuck out from it. He wore a green jacket matched with a white scarf, a brown sling bag hung on his right shoulder. He looked like someone that I know but I cant pinpoint it. Those eyes that always held fear, that voice that keeps quivering... is it really him?

"Riddle?" I spoke up with a guess.

"Y-yes Cry... Y-you seem s-sad... W-what seems t-to b-be the p-problem?" He pestered.

"Oh don't worry about me... It's just something not worth speaking of..."

"Oh...u-umm... Ok..."

I heard his footsteps trail off until it dissapear, I think he left. I think thats a good thing, at least I have some time alone.

I kept quiet, observing my surroundings. The gray sky that dropped snowflakes left a bittersweet taste on my tongue. The happy children who played with the snow around them made me even feel lonelier. I felt so out of place in this area. Everything and everyone looked so happy, and I was alone.

A vibration came from my pocket; maybe it was my phone. I didn't even realize that I brought it with me because I was so angered and saddened a while back. Getting the phone in my pocket, I saw who it was... Avan?

Name: Avan Krieg Vandez

Subject: Where are you?

Cry, Where are you?We're worried and Miki won't shut up about it... plusIt's cold out... and Miki is threatening me to look for you, Please come back soon...

I laughed at the small message. It felt strange being cared off. It's been quite a long time that I just went numb with that feeling. I returned the phone to my pocket and continued on what I was doing. The sound of footsteps appeared as I stared at one of the kids get hit by on of his friends by a snowball. Soon enough the footsteps stopped and the person sat down beside me. It was Riddle, he was back.

"H-hey C-cry-san." He stuttered.

"Hi Riddle... Merry Christmas, Sorry but I don't have a present for you."

"O-oh t-thats ok..."

He quieted down 'til he opened his bag taking a small object.

"M-merry Christmas..." He handed me the small object. Apparently it was a box wrapped in the usual red and green christmas wrap. I accepted the box and asked whats inside and he only tould me to open it. Slowly I tore the wrapper, revealing the box that held the mystery object. Removing the lid, I extracted the thing that was inside.

A pinwheel?

I didn't quite understand this but I actually didn't care as much but I still wanted to ask, "Thanks Riddle for the gift but if I may ask, Why a pinwheel?"

"W-well... U-umm..." His eyes started to water and I didn't mean it to happen.

"Uh.. Sorry, if i'm touching something personal then you don't have to say it." I said.

He wiped the tears from his face and sighed, "No, it's fine..." He grabbed the little contraption from my hand and started to low on it making it spin rapidly, "The pinwheel spins because of the wind, without it, it is motionless. Do you understand Cry-san?"

I nodded in disagreement and gestured for him to continue.

"When I saw you puffy-eyed a few moments ago well..." He paused for a while, "It reminded me on how I used to act. I used to wait for the person that I used to like but it made me realize that I have been wasting on my time."

Is he talking about Avan? Yeah, they broke up but I didn't expect for Riddle to do it, he was always pretty paranoid about things that I didn't know he can be like this.

"Hey Cry, do you still like that person?" He asked me, playing with the pinwheel.

Is he talking about Pewds? Well yeah, I still do love him but I hate him as well, if I say I hate him more i'm only lying to myself so, "Yeah... I do..."

"Good" He mouthed.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"At least you know that you still like that person, But don't hold on to long or you'll only hurt yourself..."
