Little Red’s body was thin and fragile. Brushes of cold seeped through his young bones, froze his tender heart. The city was quiet. The snow had silenced every noise. But the sad Clown was singing a silly Christmas song - Jingle Bells! - with a smile twisting the corners of his lips, glee colouring his tired face. He twirled the little boy around, small, frail hands between the man’s warm, large, comforting open palms.
“Look, Allen! The snow is wonderful!” Mana chanted cheerfully, gazing up at the sky with great amazement; eyes of a child, the sweetest naivety. He led Allen to one of the stalls; there was a big funfair in the main square of the city, painted in white and bright lights.
Little Red had never had the occasion to go to a funfair. And the first chance to do so with someone who actually cared about him brought a wholesome smile to his usually so pouty lips, cheeks pink and healthy.
Red’s silver eyes sparkled like diamonds, sight filled with a million colours of joy and hope. Green and golden Christmas decorations, the delicious smell of a cake, cooked apples, the chiming laughter of a boy.
But Mana was the prettiest creature; he smiled softly, widely, wearing hilarious grimaces to bring a smile to the mouths of all the lonely children.
“Hurry, Allen!” Mana cheered, dragging the little boy towards another stand. That particular one offered all types of toys; stuffed animals, cushions, pretty porcelain dolls.
Allen blushed delicately as he set his attentive eyes on a specific plushie, a white kitty with a silky red ribbon around its neck. Mana sent him an affectionate look, reaching out to ruffle through the little boy’s already messy hair.
“Do you want this, Allen?” he asked quietly. Allen shuddered and tilted his head to the side bashfully, looking into another direction. His cheeks were on flames, fragile heart hit with the realisation that he could attain something; that someone - Mana, his beloved Mana - cared enough about him to notice his interest.
“I, I...I mean, I’m not a kid!” Red complained, puffing up his cheeks. Mana let out a loud laugh, gentle fingers tangled through Allen’s hair in a loving caress.
“You’re a tiny adult, then!” and he pointed the finger at the plushie, exposing a big, heartfelt smile at the cashier, “I’ll buy this!”
Allen’s beautiful blush couldn’t seem to fade; it grew wider, colouring the gracious tip of his nose. The thin foil of a tear blurred his vision, a knot of emotions wrapped around his heart. Something resembling joy settled into his abdomen.
Mana took the plushie as the cashier handed it to him; he gave it to Allen, put it between the little boy’s shaky hands.
“It’s your birthday gift!” the Clown stayed, always so positive and energetic and magnificent! The little boy couldn’t hold back the tears that had started to roll down his cheeks.
In a burst of happiness, Little Red jumped into the man’s arms, clinging onto his broad shoulders. And Mana cupped his nape, soothing down the shivers that shook Allen’s slim figure.
“Can you sing me a song?” Red asked, head tucked under Mana’s chin, face pressed to his chest. The man cradled the little boy into his arms, hand at the small of the boy’s back, lips resting a kiss atop his forehead. And he did.
Humming slowly, he recreated the melody of an old song. His voice was deep and low, a rumbling baritone that echoed through the chords of Allen’s heart. But it reached impressive heights, distant, melancholic notes. Allen couldn’t look at anything else but him. He couldn’t help the way a tiny smile would curl at the corners of his lips as the man chanted, or the glow of his silver irises, full of hope and kindness.
It was so poetic and so heartfelt and so sad that Allen clutched the plushie to his chest, breath-stolen. There was a heaven of silence amongst the noise of the crowd. And still Mana’s voice resonated through the walls of the world.
Only then, as Mana walked with the little boy in his arms, did Red let himself be lulled to sleep as a familiar warmth enveloped him, love painting his dreams of a tender pink, Mana’s voice like molten butter, his hands protecting him from the monster of a cold winter.
Allen felt that it would never end; that his dream would stay one where Mana held him on a Christmas night and no more nightmares troubled his sleep.
my gift for @redcrossroads for the @dgmsecretsanta2k19! i’m sorry i’m two months late, life has been super hard on me. i hope you enjoy the fluff!

Secret santa for Anonymous! I'm literally the worst I'm s o r r y I literally took two weeks. I have midterms next week and it's been a bit hectic. So sorry for taking so long! I hope you like the gift! I did my best to draw what you asked for TwT one is transparent and one is just a black background! (At least it should be sjsbeknr) I still have one more thing to work on before I can completely finish and relax. Thank you for letting me the pinch hitter @dgmsecretsanta2k19 !!!

Happy new year and belated secret santa gift @the49thname I was your secret santa for @dgmsecretsanta2k19Â
I am so sorry for the long wait, I had quite a few problems working on your gift causing the delay.
I had something else planned with the ot4 but after I lost all my progress I switched to my other idea because I knew I would be able to finish it quicker and I didn’t want you to wait longer then yu had to. So here is the rabbit boy himself dressed as Santa. I am super happy I got to draw him as I do adore Lavi as well.Â
I thought it would be really cute for him to wear an eye patch with a cute wink kinda thing going on and his tongue out to try and show his little bit of mischievious side.
I hope you had a good holiday. If you want a transparent version of this let me know, I wanted to add a background but I didn’t want to make you wait any longer then you already have.Â

A Bearable Situation
Title:Â A Bearable Situation
Summary: On any other day, in any other circumstance, going to Build-a-Bear would be fine, enjoyable even. Excitable kids and stuffed toys and the doughnut stand right outside - Allen couldn’t complain, really. Being there on Christmas Eve with someone he barely got on with was as far from that as humanly possible.
Fandom:Â D.Gray-Man
Pairings:Â Kanda/Allen
Song the fic was written to: Closer by Postmodern Jukebox
Word count:Â 1,669
Author’s note: Hello @alrnakarma, I’m your secret santa!! I’m sorry this is so late. I tried my best with the prompt ;;; I hope you had a good time over the holidays!! Thank you to @dgmsecretsanta2k19 for organising the event!!

Allen brought a Christmas tree taking up half of their living room. He flooded the fridge with Christmas dishes he couldn’t touch. Replaced all the soaps and shampoos with Christmas scented ones.

Hello, @Artilleon I’m your secret Santa this year, thank you for waiting! Belated happy holidays and happy new year ^-^ ✿ and thank you to @dgmsecretsanta2k19 for hosting this event! ____ A little story time, I had this conversation with my friend asking whether I should give Lenalee a chinchilla because she kinda leaps with her innocence. My non-DGM friend only said “Wasn’t she the girl who wanted to be free?”. And so I gave her wings.

my apologies to @lavi-inc as I was your secret santa this year for @dgmsecretsanta2k19!! I didn’t expect to be so busy plus I draw kinda slow BUT I managed to get it in within the deadline.Â
My idea was that Bookmen prob wouldn’t celebrate religious holidays like christmas, but being in the black order, which probably would(?) Lavi wants to get into the spirit and made himself a “christmas tree shaped” stack of books lol

Hello @earl-millennium! I am your secret santa! Hope you enjoy🤡! I was quite confused for a bit as to who I was supposed to draw since the Earl has so many forms, but I went with this one in the end! I remembered a scene from the manga where he was building mini snowmen before he became the Earl and wanted to capture that scene. The piece ended up coming out better than I thought it would since I went for the no line art approach hehe.
Thank you @dgmsecretsanta2k19 for hosting this event!
