Christmas never ends!


"And this one is for y-you, Maka. Merry Christmas."

Chrona extended his hands, holding a bag which Maka took from him.

"Thank you, Chrona." She gave him a wide smile, before neatly pulling the wrapping apart and holding her present up. "Oh wow!"

"Y-Yeah, I uh, figured you could use the candles for when you're reading or studying, and the bath salts for bathing..." He trailed off, ducking his head when Maka continued to beam at him.

"I love it." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, making him blush which in turn made her giggle.

Chrona looked at the gifts he'd gotten from his friends; a dumbbell set and a book on meal prepping from Black Star, a set of kitchen knives from Tsubaki, a bunch of clothes from Liz and Patty (though he was probably gonna stick to his robe), a few fantasy books from Kid, a camera from Soul, and a necklace from Maka. The necklace was made to look like two souls connecting during resonance, and one soul had an 'M' and the other a 'C' engraved on it. Maka had a matching necklace that she'd bought for herself, and they were both wearing them proudly.

"And-" Maka reached behind the tree, pulling out two square boxes, "This is for you, Ragnarok." She tapped Chrona's chest, and his weapon partner came out of his back.

"What?"

Maka lifted the presents to him. "Merry Christmas."

Chrona watched with wide eyes as Ragnarok took the boxes and tore them apart. A moment later he broke the silence. "A CD player?"

Maka nodded. "Mm-hmm. Since you're always complaining about me and Chrona getting all mushy on dates, I got you this so you could shut us out. I figured you'd like metal, and Soul got you some stuff from this punk rock band he listens to, but Liz suggested hip-hop might be more your style." Across from them, Liz nodded while Ragnarok started pulling the other boxes apart to reveal the CD's they'd gotten for him. "Tsubaki got you a jazz CD, and Kid got you a bunch of classical music in case you're having trouble sleeping."

For a moment, he said nothing, balancing the CD's, the player, and headphones on top of Chrona's head.

Then he let out a simple, "Thanks."

Everyone blinked, then shrugged, knowing better to call him out. Ragnarok pulled out one of the metal CD's (to no ones surprise) and turned the music up so loud everyone could hear it. "Hey! This is great! I don't have to listen to that stupid Christmas album you've been playing!" He said with a raised voice, making Chrona clamp his hands to his ears.

Maka was about to let out a sarcastic, "You're welcome." But before she could say anything, Chrona pulled her into a tight hug. "Huh? Chrona?"

He gently press his lips to the side of her neck. "Thank you. I didn't even get him anything. I didn't even think... Thank you." He let go of her, but twined their fingers together.

Maka smiled at him, her eyes briefly flicking up to her lovers weapon partner, who was jamming out to the music. "You're welcome. Merry Christmas, Chrona." She made a mental note to think up more useful gifts for Ragnarok, seeing how happy it made Chrona.
