Who: Nyx Ulric and Lunafreya Nox Fleuret What: Gift giving to each other When: After they finish delivering gifts to the rest of town Christmas Eve Where: Their apartment Rating: Could get steamy
Exhausted but happy, and definitely lighter, Lunafreya and Nyx headed back home in the late night. Lunafreya herself felt giddy from the gift giving, from seeing how their friend's eyes lit up at each surprise. Nyx had chosen most, knowing the others better than she, but some had her own touch. Eos needed a holiday like this, she decided. The joy was infectious.
Still, one gift remained, from her at least. She'd thought about Nyx's gift, about how she could show him how she cared. It had taken time and she worried all the same, but now the moment was here.
"Hey, it's after midnight," she murmured, as the door closed behind them. "That means it's Christmas, right?" Her smile was almost shy as she took out the small box she'd been hiding in her pocket. "I think I rather like this Earth holiday."
She had two gifts for him, truly. One, the box, had a handmade leather bracelet in which two emblems were expertly carved, of Tenebrae and Galahd. They were intertwined. The second was bigger, a framed painting. She'd found an artist to paint a picture of he and Libertus and Crowe. She'd gotten all the details from his torn uniform, and the photos he had surreptitiously around the place.
