Loki woke up bright and early on Christmas morning. He was really excited- this would probably be his first Christmas that he actually enjoyed. He could hear Kurt doing his moisturizing routine in the bathroom, so he reached below his bed and pulled out a trunk, which he opened to reveal Kurt and Blaine's portraits. He set those on his bed, then got dressed and tucked the portraits into his robe, and went down to the common room.
After a while, Kurt entered the common room, holding a parcel in his hand and levitating another. "Oh, good, you're ready," said Kurt. "C'mon, let's go eat." With that, he walked over to the door and exited, hurrying to catch up.
When Kurt and Loki entered the Great Hall, they were momentarily awestruck by the way it looked. The trees that they had seen Hagrid dragging into the Hall were decorated with candles and ornaments, huge mistletoe wreaths hung from the walls, and snow was falling from the cloudy ceiling, vanishing before it hit the tables.
After they stopped looking around, they went to the mostly empty Hufflepuff table, and started eating. Not long after they got there, Blaine sat down next to them.
After they finished stuffing themselves, the trio sat at the table for a while, before Blaine reached into his pocket and pulled out three small packets. "Um...so, I couldn't really afford to spend much, but I thought you might like these," he said, pushing two of the packets over to Kurt and Loki. The two Slytherins opened the packets to see small beaded bracelets.
"They're friendship bracelets," Blaine explained. "I just thought-"
Loki interrupted Blaine by pulling him into a tight hug. "They're wonderful," he said, finally releasing Blaine. "Thanks."
"No problem," replied Blaine, a huge grin on his face.
Kurt moved next, reaching under the table to pull out the packages he had brought. One had "Loki" written on it, and the other had "Blaine". Blaine and Loki tore off the wrapping paper to reveal jumpers- a green and silver one for Loki, and a black and yellow one for Blaine.
Blaine quickly took off his cloak and put on the jumper. "This feels so soft!" he exclaimed.
"Of course it's soft," said Kurt. "If I'm going to give you unfashionable clothing, I want to make sure you have some incentive to wear it."
Finally, Loki reached inside his robe, and pulled out two rolls of paper, one tied with a green ribbon, which he gave to Kurt, the other tied with a yellow one, which he gave to Blaine. "I was planning on buying something from Hogsmeade, but I wasn't allowed to go, so I decided to make portraits of you," he said.
Kurt unrolled the paper and gasped. Loki had created an absolutely wonderful picture of him. Everything was perfect- the coloring, the facial structure, even the expression in the portrait. As he watched, the face stretched in a smile and winked.
Kurt must have had the same thought process as Blaine, for the two of them reached for Loki simultaneously and hugged him. Unseen by them, Loki's face broke into a grin.
