［２５］ One seems to hear, words of good cheer...

[bloodyapplepi]

[There's a grand tree set up in one of the rooms of the DR - or perhaps there's a private tree set up for you somewhere - with presents underneath. The labels aren't particularly clear when you try to read them and they won't be until the person they're from has given them to you!

Opening someone else's gift? Tsk tsk, a pie in the face for you.]

I think 'm gonna dread this holiday when the boys get older... [Linking arms with.]

[stainedlotus]

[Glancing down at, smiling a bit.] I'm sure you're not the only one that thinks that, 'Tias.

[thewrongname]

Going to dread it too, Kanda? [Smiling up at.]

[stainedlotus]

I definitely won't have as much energy as they will.

[thewrongname]

'm sure we'll both surprise ourselves when the time comes. [Slipping away to root under the tree.]

In the meantime I get ta spoil you instead. [Holding out a very nicely wrapped present.]

[stainedlotus]

You didn't have to get me anything, 'Tias. [DX]

[thewrongname]

I didn't. I made you something. [Plays on the specifics. Inside is a dark red scarf, knitted. He might have seen her knitting during pregnancy.]

[stainedlotus]

[Opening the box and taking out the scarf, then to Teasecampy to match the color, which draws a light chuckle from Kanda.]

Thank you, 'Tias. [Leaning over to kiss a cheek.]

[thewrongname]

[Blushing and kissing his cheek back before he pulls away.]

I thought ye could use it. [Taking it and wrapping it around his neck properly.] 'nd now you won't get sick.

[stainedlotus]

[Smiles as she does that.] Definitely no colds for me.

[thewrongname]

If you do then I get ta mother you during the next one.

[stainedlotus]

.... Of course. [Sob, 'yes ma'am' almost slipped out.]

[thewrongname]

[Call her "ma'am" and your hair will get yanked on. B|

Wrapping her arms around him in a hug.]

[stainedlotus]

[That's why he paused for a second! 8D; But hugging back.]

[thewrongname]

Merry Christmas, Kanda.

[stainedlotus]

Merry Christmas, 'Tias.
