[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

happy new year! this year, my resolution will be survival. as it is every year. always somehow manage to achieve it! let’s shoot for five years in a row !

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

arms come up to wrap around @merafist tightly, embracing their brother.

❛ happy birthday, ace… ❜

@FllREBRAND | @fricden

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

right, right, my bad, cav.

can i open it or are you gonna keep it for yourself now? i’m sure you went through a lotta effort to go and get it for me.

[& ‘ 𝓒avendish ! @lamesdeluxe]

I believe you deserve it, so don't dwell on it too much, consider it an afterthought.

However, if you’re going to hit me with the typical “Why?” or “You didn’t have to do that!”, then I won’t be giving the gift at all!

[Koala.ᐟ @REVOMARSUPIAL]

@FllREBRAND / @fricden

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

sentimental, maybe, but can you blame me? we’d missed so many holidays!

a gift for me? why? you didn’t have to do that!

[& ‘ 𝓒avendish ! @lamesdeluxe]

Haha, you're as sentimental as ever! I'm really happy to hear you had such a wonderful time, though.

I wanted to give you something, actually, but I just couldn’t find the time to catch you!!

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

@Sun0fRevolution they laugh softly, bright and joyful.

❛ i’ll probably keep her in the box. she’s pretty precious. don’t wanna mess her up. ❜

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

merry christmas, everyone ! ✨

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

i’ve been able to speak with my brothers and friends. that’s all i really needed for today to be perfect. ✨

[& ‘ 𝓒avendish ! @lamesdeluxe]

Sabo !! Absolutely, it’s been wonderful! I've been showered with so many wonderful presents ..

I hope the holiday has been just as fantastic for you! ✨

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

cav! nice to see you. hope the holiday’s going well for you.

[& ‘ 𝓒avendish ! @lamesdeluxe]

Merry Christmas!! 😊✨

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

@merafist // i’m so tired of you

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

ah? really? i… thanks. my memories aren’t exactly clear, but i couldn’t forget my dream, even if i tried. it’s nice knowing someone else cared about it.

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

hah. sorry, sorry. just… didn’t think you’d remember my silly little dream.

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

@Sun0fRevolution oh wow.

they chuckle softly, stifling it behind a gloved hand, as they observe the doll.

❛ thanks. santa really came through, huh? ❜

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

yeah, of course. but it’s nice knowing i’ve always got a place to go back to, y’know?

[Koala.ᐟ @REVOMARSUPIAL]

i don't know about better or worse. i think we balance each other out.

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

@Sun0fRevolution ❛ he did? oh, well, thanks! ❜

they happily accept the gift and begin tearing open the wrapping paper.

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

@Sun0fRevolution ❛ a surprise? what’s the surprise? ❜

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

and you make mine… safe. which is probably a lot better than “ exciting, ” but i’ll happily take it.

[Koala.ᐟ @REVOMARSUPIAL]

well, that's true, at least. you make life more interesting!

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

nooooo. you don’t.

[ snickering, hand reaching out to ruffle her hair, though quickly decides against it and retreats. ]

you’d get so bored without me!

[Koala.ᐟ @REVOMARSUPIAL]

ughhhh. i hate having a best friend.

( thunks her forehead against their arm. )

[𝑆𝘈𝘉𝘖. @fricden]

you don’t, but, hey, i don’t like it when * you’re right about me ! that’s how it goes. ✨

[Koala.ᐟ @REVOMARSUPIAL]

( puffs out her cheeks. )

i don't have to like it, though.
