[mintmatcha]

a meet cute

cw: cisfem reader, reader is part gnome, dungeon meshi universe, it's about an insane side character, sorry

A gentle breeze cuts across the shop, just over the front counter. You have to lean into it to get any sort of relief from this summer's heat. Your shop door's bell chimes as a customer walks in. It's unusual that anyone is out this time of day in this type of heat, let someone fully robed, scarf and hat included. He's dressed in dark, rich colors, the types of dye that drip with indigo and money, a contrast to the reddish tuft of hair of his head.

He'd be cute, you think, if he wasn't a gnome.

It's not that you don't like gnomes-- you are one, mostly-- but gnomes around your age are boring. The men nod along to anything you say, try to impress you with pleasantries and tidbits, all with that glint in their eye, they've found their next wife. They are dictated by societal niceities and traditions, topped off with a strange sense of superiority, all while they still eye you like a piece of meat-

But this gnome isn't looking at you like that. No, he's marveling at your wears.

The stranger tilts the glass in the sunlight and rainbows refract across the floor, dancing in looping, wonderful patterns long after his movement has stopped. Figures of dancers twirling around each other, bowing and dipping with ease, disappate into the air. His hands are actually a bit small for a gnome, thin fingers, uncalloused and delicate with the way he inspects the magic.

"The runes on this are subtle," he notes, mostly to himself. "Gnome magic on elven crystal."

"You have good taste." You lean more forward on to the oak surface and he jumps a bit, as if he hadn't noticed you were even there. "And a keen eye."

The man melts into a polite smile. His eyes are downturned and his cheeks are round, tickled pink from the sun. He approaches you, a prickle of chill following suit. There must be some elemental magic sown into his clothing or something.

"Thank you."

"No, thank you," you say. "It's my work."

"You have a talented hand for magic, then."

"And you have a talented eye."

His nose wiggles in that delightfully gnomish way that only old men do. "No talent, all practice."

You give him your name, he gives you his. Holm. Classic. Boring. Standard.

"Is this a gift for your wife?"

"Oh, I'm not--" He waves that thought away with disinterest-- which happens to peak yours. "My party mate is getting married."

"An elf?"

"Dwarf, actually." He twirls to glass again and the waltz of light resumes. "To be honest, we aren't very close. I don't really know what she likes, I just think she deserves something nice."

"The effect won't be as brilliant for her, because dwarfs don't tend to have a very good mana flow, but it'll still be pretty. A couple glasses for her and her beau-" You wipe away a bead of sweat that's begun to roll down the side of your neck. "And maybe a bottle of chilled wine. I think that's a very good present for anyone."

He nods, button nose crinkled with delight as he places the glasswork on the table before you. "I'll get a sex then."

A beat passes. You can't help the wild smile that sneaks out. "What was that?"

"Hm?" He hasn't moved, frozen in place, still holding the glass. His expression doesn't change, but you swear there's a touch of pink creeping over his ears.

"You said a sex."

"No, I said a /set./"

"No, you didn't." You cock your head to the side in the way that makes your neck look long and your smile charming. "Are you thinking about sex, Mr Holm?"

He swallows and you think maybe you've gone too far. Your brand of needling is more of a half foot type of humor, which isn't universally appreciated, to say the least.

"I'm- I don't--" Holm surprises you by laughing at him self. "I don't do that."

Interesting. A gnome with a sense of humor. You didn't know those existed. You lean back, trying to bite back your smile as you speak. "What? Think about sex?"

"Or anything else to do with that word."

You inspect him a bit closer. The colors, the hat, the symbol burnt into his pouch-- they're religious symbols. He's a spirit worshipper, one of the religions in the south. You aren't sure of all of the intricacies, but you know the most devout are completely celibate.

Holm shrugs rather casually. "Close enough."

"Oh, you're one of those monk-things, aren't you?" For some reason, you're a bit disappointed. Of course the man you have a nice rapport with is one that won't fuck you.

Not that you want to fuck him.

"So, you must think about sex a lot." You call as you walk to your backroom. There's a couple of different versions of the glasses, so it takes you a moment to find another set of dancers. Really, this guy has nice taste; this is your favorite piece. "Since you can't have any."

"Probably less than you do-" he calls back. "Since you heard is when I clearly said set."

Despite yourself, you laugh. It's not particularly funny, but there's butterflies in your chest and a tremble in your hands. You wrap the glasses in pieces of cloth and ribbon-- purple, to match his scarf-- before bringing them back up. The stranger is still watching you with that look on his face, the crinkle in his eye-

"It's on the house," You slide the gift wrapped presents over to him.

"I couldn't possibly."

"Just come back again some time. Or buy me a beer if you see me at the bar."

You both know that isn't a fair trade. Crystal is expensive, magic work even more so; you could charge him a couple hundred gold if you wanted, but... conversation is sometimes more valuable than money.

"I don't drink." He rubs the back of his neck, almost sheepish. "I eat, though."

The flutter in your chest gets worse. "Food then."

He nods. Taking the gift, he picks it up and starts towards the door, a hum on his voice and a deeper smile creeping up on his face. When he gets to the door, he puts up an arm to open it, then pauses.

He turns back around.

"I want to pay." The strange says, firmly. "I'll still buy you food, but I want to pay for these."

He pulls a bag of coins from his belt and presses them into your hand. It's heavy with gold. He doesn't pull away until you meet his dark, stern eyes and close your hand around the bag.

"I don't want to lead you on," he says, softly. "I find you very..."

He says more with silence than his words.

"Don't worry," you say, even though a worry does creep up your spine. "I'm not so desperate that I'll fall in love with a priest."

"Not a priest, but thank you." His cheeks puff with smile and you immediately know that you may have lied.

(I promise there is more fanart for NC in the near future!!) I’m glad you took some time off social media for your mental health because that’s very important!! I’ve been quite busy lately too so I’ve been off social media more than usual this past week. I’m also happy that you’ve been sticking to drawing daily for 30 minutes!, and even if you miss a day here and there it’s still great!

17 and 86 for the ask game? ✨

17. Did you have imaginary friends? Do you still have them?

I don't believe I had imaginary friends past the age where it's extremely normal, eg; before three years old, but I did imagine characters I liked around me a lot. For a while when I was 13-14 and prior to my diagnosis, I did experience many auditory and occasional visual hallucinations which led me to fear there was someone watching me or following me, so I did grow up feeling 'watched', but that wasn't exactly a friend or person.

86. What’s your toxic trait? Are you trying to improve yourself and fix it?

Cutting deep, okay! Well, to be honest I have one trait I think is toxic as a writer and one that is toxic as a person, so I'll give both! As a writer, I do have a habit of disappering a lot. I'll get into something, make an account, it'll blow up and I'll meet amazing people, and then one day I just kinda stop using it an dmove on to the next. It sucks because I also feel once I leave for too long I can't go back! As a person, as much as I try not to be I am a very angry person. I can be super mean to people who annoy me in the slightest, and I have to work very hard to be nice and remind myself that people are people but oml 😭It is not that hard to tick me off. I hope someday I can get over this, though, because it drives people away!

Want to play? You can find the ask game here!

So, presidential elections in Brazil are really close (October 2nd) and, since I always see discussions about this during American elections, I decided to tell you guys how it's like to vote in a country in which vote is mandatory.

I noticed a lot of Americans consider mandatory vote as something that attacks individual freedom, but I'm going to discuss about how I, as someone who lives under these politics, don't think that way. Gentle reminder that this is how it works in Brazil, I can't say for other countries!

Who is obligated to vote?

Every literate Brazilian citizen between the ages of 18 and 70. There are, however, people for whom the vote is optional, which takes us to the next topic...

Who can vote, but is not obligated to?

The vote is optional for people between the ages of 16 and 18, people who are older than 70 and illiterate people between the ages of 18 and 70.

What happens if you don't vote? Do you get arrested?

No! If you don't vote you will have to pay a fine. It changes from state to state, but it's around 3,50 reais (65 cents in dolars). A lot, I know.

But what if I don't want to vote in anyone?

You can do it, actually. I'll explain it better when I talk about the way we vote in Brazil.

Does the mandatory vote offer any advantages for the people?

In my point of view? Yes. Two things that strike me as the most benefitial for the people is the fact that the elections are way more organized and, the most important one, is that your vote is guaranteed. I always see Americans showing concern about their registration simply disappering and that voters, especially voters of color, can have their registration cancelled and they have no way of knowing. Well, when vote is mandatory that simply doesn't happen, thanks to this:

This is the título eleitoral (or electoral card), it's a document you can get after 16 years old and it's mandatory after 18. With it, you don't need to make a registration every election to be able to vote, because it guarantees that, from the moment you get it, you'll always be able to vote.

More about Brazilian election process:

There are some things that are very different in the Brazilian election and you probably don't know:

We don't vote using paper. We have this little beauty called the electronic ballot.

Each candidate has a number. In the case of presidential candidates and state governor candidates, it's a number of two algarisms. You need to type the number of your candidate and press the green button.

If you don't want to vote in anyone, you can simply press the white button followed by the green button. There is also the null vote, when you put a number that doesn't belong to any candidate and press the green button. These two alternatives will take you to the same place: your vote won't go for any candidate.

Another difference from Brazilian elections to American ones is the day it happens. Here, elections are always on Sunday so everyone can vote, usually from 8am to 5pm. Your boss is obligated to release you so you can vote and, if they don't, they will have to pay you double for that day.

The place where we vote is also fixed. When you make your electoral card you choose an electoral session that is close to your home where you will vote in every election. You can change it in case you move and, if you are travelling for any reason during the elections, all you have to do is go to any electoral session on election day and justify your absence.

But if you can choose not to vote in anyone, the fine for not voting is so symbolic and you can even justify your absence, why is the vote mandatory?

Because voting is seen as an obligation of every Brazilian citizen with their country. I can say with certainty, however, that most Brazilians don't see the vote as an obligation, even though it is: we see it as an inalienable right and essential for our democracy.

Loki Master List

~~~~

You and Nat were standing at one end of the training area as Loki walked in. You glanced up from Nat wrapping your hands and noticed he was wearing his normal traing gear. Plain leather black pants with a dark green Henley, his hands already wrapped.

"Focus, your getting distracted." She said yanking on one of the straps.

"Ow. I cant help it Nat, we went from cant keep our hands away from each other to literally fist fighting each other. Ya know this is normally frowned upon is normal society." You streched your fingers out and balled them back up streching out the gloves a little.

"Hunny, even in a perfect world were anything but normal. I mean for god sakes your fighting a literal god. You remember what I taught you. Right?" She asked looking almost terrified for me.

"Yes mother, I havent forgotten. This is gonna be a piece of cake." Inside you were freaking out. You normally was in a very high spot with your bow or normally trying to break into the computers. You wasnt normally in hand to hand combat, but you were smarter than to think you would never need it.

You turned shaking you head and putting the mouth piece in your mouth. Hitting you fist together jumping back and forth getting ready. Loki just stood there smirking. You was gonna smack that smirk off his face.

"Hey sis, Im not saying you cant beat him just be careful. He throws a nasty left hook." Clint said munching on some chips."Thanks, Hawk. Mind explaining why the rest of the team is here?" You mumbled around the mouth piece.

"Thor, definitely Thor." He said walking back to the small group that gathered.

"Sweetheart. Are we gonna fight or are you just gonna stand there chit chatting?" He called across the mat.

"I'm coming." You walked across the mat to the center. Someone hit a bell signaling for the fight to start and he jumped toward you. You dodged his first attemped and circled him slowly. You could read his every move, read where he was going next.

You took a defence stance that Nat had taught you from your training before he lunged again. This time you managed to upper cut him in the side knocking some of the wind from him.

"Oh you little minx. I figured I would take it easy on you but we can play your way also." This time he took a step back centering himself. Looking up you noticed he had a dangerous look in his eye.

"I didnt invite you here to take it easy on me, I invited you because you dont take anything serious. Because if someone like me can beat you in hand to hand then anyone can." You stepped closer to him gauging what move you was going to make next.

He dropped down to the mat attempting to sweep your legs out from under you, he missed one but caught the other causing you to fall. He jumped on top of you pinning your hands above your head. "Now this positions brings back memories." He whispered to you causing your face to turn bring red. You brought your leg up able to wrap it around his waist and slammed him back down to the mat gaining some advantage.

"This one also." He smirked. You raised your fist above you aiming for his face. Whem you brought it down he moved his head causing you to miss. It felt like forever that you were both on the mat neither one gaining aginst the other. A busted lip here a bloody nose there. When the bell rang for a break Nat was in your corner with Clint offering you some water and a rag ti wipe the blood off.

"Sis, I'm try in real hard not to grab an arrow and stabe him with it." Clint said from one side. You could see anger in his eyes.

"Hawk, its fine. Given the circumstance its all good. Its just training in a matter of speaking. Anger is mostly wunning but I got this. I was trained by the best. I'm not even tired." You took another drink of water before going back out to the mat.

"This is fun. I have never seen my brother trying harder to win anything in his life." Thor shouted across the room. "Lady y/n is quite good at sparing. We must fight sometime." Thor laughed.

A few more rounds when and you could feel the weight of the afternoon but you wasjt about to simply throw in the towel just yet. You knew you could get the best of him. You had thrown him back on the mat then he took his feet placing them on your chest shoving you off of him. Before you knew it you were surrounded by multipuls of him.

"Loki we agreed no sedair! This is cheating!" You yelled at them.

"God of Mischief and lies sweetheart. Besides we're in weird predicaments all the time. You said so yourself. Tell you what. You find the real me and I'll forfeit." One of the clones said. You stood up in the middle of them all focusing everything you had on concentrating, ignoring Clint yelling in the background and the rest of the group shouting.

You opened your eyes zeroing in on one closest to you and walked up to him.

"Are you sure your right about this decision?" It mocked.

"Yeah. I think I am." You brought the ball of yoyr fist up crashing it into Loki's nose. The rest of the clones disappered as he fell to his knees in front of you. "You are a complete and utter asshole Loki Odinson. I hope that it messes with you for a while that you got beat by a mortal." You started unwrapping your gloves as you walked away.

Over the next few weeks you avoided every living space in the tower that you knew he would be in. It had truly hurt you that he had cheated during the fight. You still couldnt understand how just months before you couldn't keep your hands off of each other now you were both avoiding each other like the plague.

"Miss y/n. Team has a mission. Tony wants everyone in the confrence room dressed and ready in 15 minutes." JARVIS called pausing your movie. With a roll of your eyes you walked to your bedroom to start getting ready. Pulling out your tight skinny jeans a black tank top and your zip up hoodie you French braided your hair and grabbed your bow case before heading down.

The rest of the team was gathered when you walked in and placed your case on the table opening it up to make sure everything was right. Streching out the strings and making sure the sights were spot on aiming them to the other side of the room where Loki stood.

"It would be more effecitve if you had an arrow." Clint whispered next to you.

"Shut up, I'm just making sure everything is right." You put it back down in the case and started going over your arrows.

"You realize we have a place you can put that when your not using it." Tony said walking around you.

"Right up your ass if you suggest that again." You laughed putting everything back up.

"Love the enthusiasm kid." Tony laughed walking to the front of the table.

"Ok Team, going to be a long few days for us. Just got some Intel about a caravan carrying some explosives across the Scandinavian border. Gonna have to divide into teams for this one. Hawk, Nat, Strange, Rodgers, Bruce, and Thor you'll be starting at the meeting point and working your way toward us. The rest is with me." Tony pulled a map up on the big screen showing where you wwre going.

"Oh come on, why cant I be with the A team?" You asked with a groan.

"Sorry kid, gotta divide it up right. One god for each, one Archer. Only fair. And even if you two hate each other you guys work good together." Tony shrugged.

"Yeah sorry kid." Clint laughed.

"Hey I'm a full three minutes older that you. Probably explains why I'm better. Whatever. I'll go pack my stuff." You huffed standing up.

The next two hours seems to drag by, it was freezing here. You was just ready to get this over with so that you could go back home and relax in a nice warm bath, you pulled your jacket tighter aginst you.

"I've told you many times that you should start wearing the uniform that they gave you. You'll freeze to death one day." Loki said taking off his cloak and putting it around your shoulders.

"Thanks, but I'm still pissed at you." You hugged it closer. "I hate the whole uniform thing. To tight to revealing."

Another few minutes pass before Tony gives everyone the heads up that your about to be over the caravan. Figuring you were warm enough you took the cloak off and handed it back to him. "You may still be pissed at me but I do still care very deeply for you y/n. I was an idiot for everything." He took it and wrapped it around his shoulders. When his fingers grazed yours there was a surge that went through you.

"Give me time. You really hurt me, not just by breaking up with me but by lying to me during training. Good luck out there God of Mischief."

"Tony, your gonna have to get lower i cant get a clear shot on the driver!" You yelled over the wind whipping around your face. About that time a diffrent arrow shot through gettkng the driver in the side causing the vehicle to completly stop.

"Gotta be faster than that sis. One for me." Clint laughed over the com.

"You are my least favorite person right now Hawk." You mumbled. Tony brought the Quinn Jet down so your team could spread out.

"That is truly saying something my dear." Lokis smooth voice said in your ear.

"You gave me your cloak to keep me warm. Gave you a fell points." You pulled back again and shot it through the truck behind the first hitting the driver in the head. "Got one, Hawk, your next."

"Can we cut the chatter. Got alot going on in the sky at the moment." Tony said. Youbcould here something firing above you looking up you could see Tony being followed by a jet firing at him. "Need some back up guys. Twins. Anyone."

"Hawk. I need a Boom Boom stick." You met him in the middle of the road.

"I really wish you wouldnt call them that." He said handing you one. You both pulled your bows back and aimed. "Heads or tails?"

"I like the tails." You let go of the sting and watched as the jet exploded.

"I think she can call them whatever she wants as long as she keeps doing a good job keeping bogies off my ass." Tony yelled over the coms.

"I hate this. I cant see shit down here." You yelled over to Clint. "I gotta get higher." You looked around eyeballing the turnes over truck. You threw the bow across your back and started climbing up the truck. Shots rang around you one grazing your side, before it had started it was like it stopped looking behind you you noticed Loki with his daggers in his hands.

"You need to pay more attention y/n." He scolded you.

"Why pay attention when I have someone keeping an eye out for me." You smiled.

"Oh darling Im doing more than just keeping an eye out." After everything that ass had done to you he was flirting FLIRTING with you.

"Y/N! No. More. Gods." Clint yelled. From here you could see everything going on. Nat fighting two men, you took one out easily from your spot. She shot you a thumbs up. Bruce had hulked out throwing things everywhere, multiple times you had to dodge something flying your way. The fight was almost over when you glanced behind you noticing four men backing Loki aginst a turned over car.

His hands were up as if in surrender. "Loki why arent you using your sedair?" You mumbled pulling the bow back.

"Well darling you could say that I am in on of those weird predicaments. I've exahusted alot of my power down here." His back was aginst the truck now.

"Could let him get beat up." Clint pipped in as you shot one of your last arrows though two of the guys standing there. You watched Loki easily take out the other two.

"Told you Hawk, I'm not like that." You smiled walking over to Loki. "Although you could use a little practice in hand to hand, dont you agree?"

"Only if your the one practicing with me he smailed down at you.

"Ugh! Y/n! No mo-" Clint started before you pulled the com from your ear.

"Only one God for me." You leaned up kissing Loki on the cheek.

'Door Opens'

?????: HO HO HO! MERRRRRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!

Cream/Charmy/Cheese: (Gasps Loudly at the Sight of....) SANTA!~/CHAO CHAO!~

Espio/Blaze/Silver: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) Santa?

Vanilla: Sant-

Vanilla's eyes starts to widened a little as she suddenly starts noticing a few interesting (and very familiar) details present on "Santa's" current appearance. It wasn't long before she ultimately decided to play along with the charade.

Vanilla: (Smiles Brightly) Santa Claus!~ You've finally arrived to our humble home~

Espio: Wait. (Turns to Vanilla) You.... actually arranged for him to come here, mother?

Santa (?): (Smiles Brightly) Yeeup! She called me last night to come visit here in Christmas Morning. All while you kiddos were already fast asleep.

Vanilla: (Happily (And Quickly) Nodded) Mmhmm. I-It wasn't really an easy task mind you, but I'm so glad it paid off in the end.

Espio: (Starts at the Duo Unconvincingly) Hmmm.......

Silver: (Smiles Softly) Hey, if you're here, does that means you're gonna give each us our presents?

Santa (?): You guessed right! (Opens the Door While Bringing a Jolly Red Bag Filled Inside the Room) I wouldn't be known as the Great Saint Nick if I didn't.

Cream/Charmy: (Eyes Begins to Sparkle at the Sight of the Red Bag Filled With) Presents.....

Santa (?): Pretty neat, huh? And it's all just for you kindly folks here. (Starts Looking and Digging Inside the Bag) Cream, for bring the nicest little girl all year long, I took the liberty of getting you.....(Toss the Gift to Cream)

Cream: (Catches the Gift Before Gasping Loudly at the Sight of.....) SAILOR MOON PLUSHIE!~

Santa (?): (Chuckles Lightly) Yep! Your mother told that you've been taking a liking to the show as of late. So I figured who's better suited to look after the Sailor Guardian of Justice & Love then the bravest little bunny I know.

Cream: (Takes a Look at the Plushie With Determination in her Eyes) I will do everything in my power to protect her. (Happily Hugs the Plushie) Thank you, Santa!~

Santa (?): You're very welcome, kiddo. Oh! And Cheese! (Takes Something Else Out of the Bag) I got you Plushie too. (Toss the Gift to Cheese) It's your favorite JoJo Stand or.... whatever they call it, Star Platinum!

Cheese: (Gasps Loudly at the Sight of the Plushie Before Hugging it Happily) Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao!~

Charmy: (Excitedly Raises his Hand Up) Oohoohoh! Me next! Me next! I Whaddya got me, whaddya got me!?~

"Santa" toss Charmy's gift to him.

Charmy: (Gasps Loudly at the Gift he Got, Which is None Other Than....) NARUTO ULTIMATE NINJA STORM 4!?

Santa (?): Heard you those kind of ninja shows. So I thought a game involving around would be fun. Also, I'm not sure how far you are in the series. So do be warily of spoilers I guess.....

Charmy: (Salutes to.the Man in Red) Yes sir, Mr Santa Claus, sir! (Happily Hugs the Game) Thank you!~ (Points at Espio) Better be prepared, Espio the Chameleon! One if these days, I'll show you the essence of my OWN ninja power! BELIEVE IT!

Espio: (Already Has a Deadpinned Look on his Face While his Lovers Softly Giggles Right Beside Him) Joy.....

Santa (?): Heads up, Love Birds! (Tosses Gifts Towards the Trio Respective)

Silver: (Catches One Gift Before Putting on a Bright Smile) Sweet! I got the Latest Clockwork Book!

Blaze: (Catches the Second Gift Before Gasping Softly at it) Is this scarf is really for me? It's so pretty.....

Espio: (Catches the Last Gift Before Widening his Eyes a Little at it) You....got me a cooking apron?

Santa (?): Word has it that your cooking skills are top notch. So what better way to show it off then wearing the part?

Blaze: (Turns to Espio) We didn't know you have a talent for cooking.

Espio: Yes. I...(Starts Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth) learning how to cook for years now actually.

Silver: That is so cool.

Vanilla: Ooh! Could you wear the apron for us, dear? We wanna see how it looks on you.

Espio: I don't know......

Everyone: (Immediately Gives Espio the Puppy Dog Look) PLEEEEEASEEE!?~

Cream: We promise not to let Charmy make fun of you for it.

Charmy: Yea- Hey! I mean, I promise, but still!

Santa (?): (Gives Espio a Playful Smirk on his Face) I'm pretty sure you don't have to heart to say "no" to their faces now do you?

Espio: (Glares a Bit at "Santa" Before Sighing in Defeat) Alright....I suppose I should give the apron the proper wear.

Espio puts on his newly owned apron which has the "Do Not Disturb the Cook" Sign on the front.

Espio: (Shyly Looks Away While Rubbing his Arm) So....How does it look?

Vanilla: (Squeals Happily at the Sight of her Son) Oh my goodness, Espio, you look so wonderful!~

Charmy/Cream/Cheese: (Happily Nodded in Agreement)

Espio: You.....really think so?

Silver: (Smiles Softly) Yeah, man. You look great.

Blaze: (Smirks a Bit Seductively at the Chameleon) And handsome as well~ (Kisses Espio in the Cheek Along with Silver)

Espio: (Starts Blushing Before Changing into a Different Color and Sighing) Thanks for that......

Everyone: (Giggles Softly)

Santa (?): And last but certainly not least.....(Gives Vanilla her Gift) This is a gift just for you, milady~

Vanilla: (Opens the Tiny, Rectangular Shape Box Before Gasping at the Slight) A Heart Shaped Necklace!?~

Santa (?): It's not just any heart shaped necklace. It's a necklace that symbolizes the love, care, and passion you have for me- I-I mean!....The one you love and cherish.

Cream/Blaze/Silver: Awwwwwwwwwww!~

Santa (?): (Starts Whispering into Vanilla's Ears) Between you and me, I'm pretty positive that amazing boyfriend of yours wanted me to give that to you for your gift.

Vanilla: (Heart Begins to Melt in Pure Happiness as a few Tears Starts Falling Down on his Face) You're right. ('Sniff') He really is amazing~ That's why I love my Vector-Kins oh so much~ (Happily Hugs "Santa" Lovingly) Thank you for helping him deliver this wonderful gift to me, Santa.

Santa (?): (Chuckles Lightly Whuoe Blushing) Ho Ho! Think nothing of it, miss. I'm just doing my work as always.

Vanilla: And you're doing a wonderful job at it.....Although.....

Santa(?): Hm?

Vanilla: I've been wondering This for quite a while now, but.....you don't happen to have a gift to give to Vector-Kins, now do you?

Santa(?): (Eyes Suddenly Begins to Widened) Oh! I uhh...('Clears Throat') Funny you mentioned him, cause I....(Chuckles Awkwardly) kinda forgot to get him something last night....My mistakes.....

Vanilla: (Smiles Softly) Oh it's quite alright. (Picks Something Up From the Coffee Table) I already got him one a few days ago to be exact.

Santa(?): Oh really? What is it- ('GASPS') You got him The Greatest Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Book!!!?

Vanilla: (Happily Nodded) Mmhmm. I figured since he's such a talented detective, I would give him a book of one of his greatest role models as one of his gifts.

Santa(?): Wait. There's ANOTHER gift you wanna give him!?

Vanilla: Yep. But....it's a lot more personal if anything.

Santa(?): Oh, well.....(Rubbing the Back of his Head Back & Forth with a Sheepish Smile on his Face) I-I'm...sure it wouldn't be too much of a problem to tell Santa. I'll definitely keep it a secret.

Vanilla: (Smiles Brightly) Oh, you will?~ God bless!~

Santa (?): Yeah..... Bless.....

Vanilla: Well if you insist on knowing, then the second gift I will give to my darling Vector will be.......

Vanilla starts whispering the details into "Santa's" ear and each word that she comes out from her mouth causes the man in red to blush in a crimson like color.

Santa(?): O-Oh! So......T-T-That's gonna....be your gift to him?.....

Vanilla: (Nods While Having a Seductive Smirk on her Face) Mmmmmhmmm~

Santa(?): (Quickly Looks Down at his Arm) OHO! Would you look at the time!? (Looks Back at the Gang) I would LOVE to stay here with you all a little longer, but...I gotta get going now. (Made his Way Back to the Door) The Elves, reindeers, Mrs. Claus are expecting me to come back to the North Pole and-

Cream: Wait! I know you're in a hurry and everything, but....(Starts Frowning in Worry) I need to know. Have you seen Mr. Vector on your way here? He's like a daddy to me and I wanna know if he's coming back home safely.

Santa(?): (Felt Pure Happiness in his Heart as He Kneels Himself Down to Cream's Level) You have nothing to worry about, kiddo. Your old man will come back sooner than you think.

Cream: You think so?

Santa(?): I know so. He's the strongest, most cleverest crocodile I know!...Or...(Smiles Sheepishly While Blushing) At least that's what I've heard he's supposed to be. (Starts Getting Back Up on his Feet) But in the meantime....(Gently Ruffles the Top of Cream's Head) Just be a little patient for him, yeah?

Cream: (Nodded in Agreement) I will. (Smiles Softly) Thank you, Santa.

Santa(?): (Smiles Brightly) Don't mention it, kiddo. (Makes his Way to the Door) Now, if you folks don't mind, I got a bunch of cookies and milk waiting for me all the way to the Northern Pole. Until then.....(Waves Goodbye to Everyone) MERRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMASSSSSS!!!! (Immediately Rushes Out of the Door)

Everyone: (Happily Waves Goodbye to Santa) Goodbye, Santa!~/Have a Merry Christmas!~/ See ya next year!~/ Chao Chao Chao!~

Vanilla: (Stares at the Door With a Bit of a Smirk on her Face) 3.....2.....1.....

'DOOR OPENS'

Vector: (Takes a Deep Breath Before Smiles Brightly) I'M BACK!

Everyone: VECTOR!~

Cream: (Happily Rushes Over to the Crocodile and Hugs Him) You're back!~ (Gives Vector a Big Kiss on the Cheek Before Pouting at Him) Where have you been!? Do you have ANY idea how worried we were about you!?

Charmy: Yeah, man. You missed A LOT when you were gone! Santa-

Vector : Came by here? Yeah I know. I just saw him flew in the skies not too long ago actually.

Silver: Huh. Neat.

Blaze: (Places her Hands on her Hips) But that doesn't explain why you were missing this entire time.

Espio: Yes. (Raised an Eyebrow) We would love to you hear your explanation in all of this.

Vector: (Starts Sweating Bullet) I uhhhhhh.....

Vanilla: Now, everyone. I'm sure Vector will explain everything once we have our Christmas Breakfast. In order.

Espio: Ah! Right! It's my turn to make Breakfast. To the Kitchen everyone!

Everyone clears in rejoice as they follow Espio to the kitchen, leaving Vector and Vanilla behind.

Vector: ('Sighs in Relief')

Vanilla: Close one, wasn't it?

Vector: (Turns to See Vanilla With a Teasing Smirk on her Face) .........You knew I was Santa, didn't you?

Vanilla: Yep!~ It was pretty easy to tell in hindsight.

Vector: ('Sighs Heavily') Yeah.....I figured the costume wouldn't fool you that easily

Vanilla: Exactly. (Playful Pouts at her Crocodile) Still!~ You should've told me you were planning to do this from the getgo! Do you have any idea how amazing it would've been if I play the role as Mrs. Claus?

Vector: (Raises his Hands With a Sheepishly Smile) I know, I know! I'm sorry. Didn't mean to leave you out of the dust like that. It was last minute thought. So I just....went through with it on my own, you know?...I....did play the role as Santa pretty well, did I?

Vanilla: (Happily Hugs Her Boyfriend Lovingly) You have. And I couldn't be any more prouder, darling~

Vector: (Happily Hugs Vanilla Back) Thanks, 'hon~......S-So uh.....About the second gift.....Is it still happening? Y-You know! Once the kids are out for the night and everything.

Vanilla: (Giggles Softly) Of course it's still happening, dear ~ (Starts Snuggling onto Vector 's Embrace) You just need to be a little more patient until the time comes, okay?

Vector: Oh alright. (Kiss the Top of Vanilla's Head) Merry Christmas, Vanilly~

Vanilla: Merry Christmas to you too, my sweet, handsome, crocodile~

HAHA TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY. I'll most likely write a third one today. Make sure to check out the art I've done for this series with the hashtag #StoryGlitch: UnderFell or #SG: UF !

I do not own any of the characters other than Crys, the girl with the white hair.

~~~Chapter Two: Meeting the Boss~~~

When Crys awoke, she was immediately assaulted by the smell of mustard. She blinked blearily at her surroundings, and heard a VERY loud snore from right next to her. She jumped, then looked to the side. She was greeted with Sans' sleeping face. Or, rather, she assumed he was sleeping. He still had a grin on his face, but his eyesockets were somehow closed. Fascinated, Crys squirmed into an upright position in his arms and pressed a small hand to his cheekbone. The bone was surprisingly warm, and tingled lightly under her touch. Sans grunted and snorted again, shifting at her touch. Crys touched the bone covering his eyesockets, and one opened, revealing a red light inside it.

Sans blinked at the small human child that was inches away from his face. "Uh.... kiddo? Whatcha doing?"

Crys tapped the bone above his eyesockets.  "How?"

"Huh?"

"How do your eyes close? You're just bone."

Sans chuckled, the rumble shaking Crys' entire body. "Well, babybones, I'll tell ya a secret."

Crys looked at him with large, curious eyes. Sans continued as she hung on his every word. "Now, ya can't tell anyone about this, okay? The secret is..... It's.... magic."

He winked conspirationally, grinning as Crys frowned, disappointed with his lack of explanation.

"That's not a real answer!"

"'Course it is, babybones, ya just don't like it."

Sans stretched and yawned. Immediately, Crys reached out her tiny hands and touched the edge of one of his sharp teeth.

"Ah... kid?? Wha ar ya 'oin?"

Crys was too busy poking his shark teeth to answer. His large hands carefully took hold of her wrists and pulled her hands away from his mouth. Crys huffed, and Sans chuckled nervously.

"Uh... don't go around pokin' into people's mouths, okay kiddo?"

Crys nodded and sat back on Sans' 'stomach'. Sans grinned at her.

"Want some food now?"

Crys nodded eagerly, and Sans picked her up again and shuffled into the kitchen, reheating a plate with two hot dogs on it. After they were done, Sans set her on the couch and gave her the plate. Upon further inspection, Crys noted that the hot dogs had tiny cat ears and a feline face carved into it, and solemnly ate the cute little thing. She was almost done with her first hot cat when a faint shout broke the silence. Sans jumped, then swore.

"Shit! I forgot Boss' shift is over!"

Sans scooped her up, looking down at her apologetically. "Sorry kid.. I'm gonna keep ya hidden, okay? Jus' don't move around too much."

Before she could protest or question him, Sans lifted up his red sweater and dispensed Crys into the cavity beneath his ribcage and above his pelvis. A moment later, his sweater went down, leaving Crys with very little light. The shouting was quite close now, and she heard the sound of a door being slammed open, a sharp, grating voice ringing through her ears.

"Sans! Why the fuck weren't you at your post earlier?!"

Sans coughed. "Well, Boss..... I uh.... jus' overslept is all."

The grating voice got shriller, and Crys winced, covering her ears. "Sans, you lazy ass, what if a human came through?! We must be on guard at all times! Do not let me catch you slacking off again, or I'll dust you!"

Loud, stomping footsteps made the stairs groan, and a door slammed somewhere. Sans let out a breath, his shoulders sagging. He lifted up his sweater and removed Crys from his ribcage.

"Sorry, kiddo... that was m' bro."

Crys blinked owlishly at him. "He didn't seem very nice."

Sans chuckled, though it seemed empty. "Yeah.... but he's a real softie."

Sans ascended the stairs, human child secure in his arms. He shuffled past the first door, entering the door with odd colorful flames coming out from under it. He closed the door and set Crys on the mattress on the floor. He sat down in front of her.

"Okay, babybones... we need to get ya a disguise."

Crys tilted her head. "What for?"

Sans looked nervous. He rubbed the back of his 'neck', looking away. "Listen, babybones, people.... aren't very nice down here."

"But you're nice," Crys pointed out. Sans let out an amused huff.

"Yeah, well.... everyone else isn't. And they'll likely want ta hurt ya and take yer Soul."

"My Soul?"

Sans gave her an odd look, before a look of understanding crossed his face. "Okay, babybones, don't panic, okay? I'm gonna show you yer Soul."

Crys nodded slowly, still confused. Sans leaned forward and pressed a large hand against the front of the red sweater, and when he drew it back, he was holding a blue heart. Sans sucked in a sharp breath, and Crys looked up at him. His gaze was locked on the heart in front of her. "Babybones.... what happened to yer Soul? Who hurt ya?"

His tone was low, almost a growl. Crys looked back at the blue heart and saw that it was cracked- a single white crack down to the center of the heart. Crys couldn't find it in herself to answer him. Sans cupped his hands around the blue heart gently, like he was holding a baby bird. Finally, his gaze lifted and met hers. "Babybones.... yer Soul is damaged... 's halfway through shatterin'... what happened to ya?"

Crys' throat was dry. She licked her lips and looked down, fidgeting with the hem of the sweater. She saw a couple white particles floating around her legs. "I.... I dunno... there was a man with blue strings... I kept going back, until I found a way to.... to escape... it hurt so much... I..... my momma..... I couldn't- I couldn't..."

Sans flinched as her eyes welled up with tears, his gaze darting down to the small blue Soul in his hands. He carefully moved closer and let the heart go back into Crys' chest. He picked her up and sat down on the bed, stroking her hair as she started to cry into his sweater, murmuring soothingly to her. More white particles appeared as she cried, the memories of the pain and the screaming resurfacing and hitting her like a tsunami. Finally, when she was all cried out, the particles slowly disappated. Sans rested his skull on top of her head, still running his bone-fingers through her hair. "Shh, babybones.... 's okay.... yer okay..."

Crys gulped and took a shaky breath, tilting her head back to look at him. "I-Is that why m-my.... Soul is broken...? 'Cuz of the man with the strings?"

Sans looked regretful as he nodded. "'Fraid so, babybones... and I dunno if ya can be healed... never seen a Soul halfway through shatterin'."

Crys sniffled, a couple white particles appearing around her arms. "So I'm gonna be broken forever?"

Sans shook his head, sensing her growing distress. "Yer not broken, babybones... yer strong. Ya lived through a huge amount of trauma. That's crazy!"

Crys looked up at him, tears slowing their waterfall down her face. Sans grinned at her. "Yer the strongest li'l human I know, babybones."

Crys smiled shakily at him, wiping away her tears. Sans nuzzled the top of her head, still cradling her protectively in his arms. "Let's get ya somethin' new to wear, yeah?"

Crys nodded, and he stood up, walking over to a messy closet. He began sorting through the clothes with one hand, holding her with his other arm. He grunted, pulling out a few articles of clothing and a pair of shoes that were far too large for her. He shuffled back to the bed and laid out his findings on the bed. There was another sweater- a black one-, a red hoodie that looked it could drown her in the amount of fabric, a pair of thick yellow socks, and a pair of black trousers. Sans turned away as she pulled off the tear-stained sweater and dressed in her new garments. She struggled to tie the shoes with the long sleeves covering her hands, but Sans came to her rescue, lacing them up tight enough so she wouldn't trip over her feet every time she took a step. He chuckled.

"Yer tiny, babybones... ya need some actual kid-sized clothes."

Crys nodded. She knew she looked ridiculous, with the huge shoes on her feet and the hoodie that was obviously meant for a person much bigger than her. Sans shuffled over to the closet again and came back with a white cloth mask with a cartoon smile printed onto it. Crys stared at it, then at Sans. "What's that for?"

Sans let out his rumbly laugh. "So ya won't be immediately recognized as a human, babybones."

He tied the mask around her nose and mouth. Some of her skin was still showing, and Sans moved her hair so most of her forehead was covered. He surveyed her with a 'this is good enough' look on his face. He opened his mouth to speak, but an angry shout interrupted whatever he was going to say.

"SANS!! Get your lazy cocyx down here before I drag you out myself!!"

Sans turned towards the door, grumbling. "I'm comin', I'm comin'!"

Apparently he wasn't going fast enough, because as he was reaching for the door, it was slammed open, a very, VERY tall figure looming in the doorway. A pair of cold red lights locked onto Crys before turning to Sans.

"Sans..... what the fuck is that?"
