Temperance's Tinsel Tango: Day Ten

After pulling out the hot chocolate packets from the box, you found them to be entirely made up of bizarre flavors. Flavors that got more and more outrageous as you sifted through them. Sure, Orange and Lavender weren't too unusual, but once you got to Celestial feathers and Dragon scales you knew you had to brew a cup. And thus you returned to the pile, a warm cup set in a saucer beside you as you searched for the present bearing the "Dec. 22nd" label. The basket that held the gift was rather unusual itself, shaped like a top hat and stuffed full of white tissue paper. Pulling it aside, the paper reveals to you...

...the grinning face of a snowman plush. Despite its lack of limbs, it smiles up at you with an inviting expression. As if it was pleading for you to hug it. And who were you to deny such a cute little guy?

Obey Me!:

Barbatos:

Being the Demon Prince's butler was a rather rough job, but a job Barbatos took pride in. Even so, he hardly had much free time in between cooking, cleaning, and ensuring Diavolo accomplished his own tasks on time. He used to be fine with how busy he always was, but ever since you'd wormed your way into his heart he found himself longing to spend time with you. Just about everyone in the castle was aware of the level of affection he held for you, and felt bad that the only time he really got to spend with you were the days he'd accompany Diavolo to something you were involved in or when you'd tag along when he went out shopping. So, the Castle staff decided to all work together and give Barbatos a day off. The Prince had happily agreed to the request, and ushered the stunned butler out of the castle to enjoy the rest of his day. With the sudden change of plans, he didn't really have any idea what to do. Diavolo's request the other day had been to look into the future for a week, so the sudden day off was a total surprise to him. With nowhere else, that came to mind, to go, he headed towards the House of Lamentation to find you. As you opened the door to greet the vistor who knocked on the door, an eager smile crossed your face as you tightened your thick coat around you. The Prince had informed you beforehand of Barbatos's short vacation, and you'd prepared a list of activities. The first of which being building snowmen together. The snowy field you had dragged him out to was completely empty, as per the Demon Prince's orders, and covered in fresh, untouched snow. Barbatos watched you begin to roll up a ball of snow curiously, before you motioned for him to follow suit. Together, the two of you made a pretty standard sized stack of snowy orbs, the sizes shrinking as it went up. Suddenly, you asked Barbatos to cover his eyes for a moment. He heard you shuffle some things about, before telling him to look. "Look Barb, it looks just like you!"

Diavolo:

Even being royalty had its downsides. Despite the power and influence the Demon Prince held, it seemed like he had enough time in general. His butler would assure him that all was well, but Diavolo always felt like he never had the time to finish all he wished to accomplish most days. Managing the Exchange Program as well as the rest of the Devildom's affairs took up quite a chunk of his schedule, and despite his somewhat childish nature he couldn't slack off too much without a certain demon chastising him. So, when it happened to be a rare slow day for him, he jumped at the opportunity to spend time with his favorite Exchange Student. He would have invited the others as well, but they were all mysteriously busy at the time. Thus, leaving you and Diavolo to have the day to yourselves. The Prince already had quite a few things in mind for the two of you to do, but you needed to be careful as you went out in public. You weren't too great at the disguising spells Solomon had been teaching you as of late, so you had to dress up the Prince in a disguise that looked straight out of a cartoon. Thankfully, no one seemed to notice that he was the literal Prince of Hell as he dragged you from location to location, like a puppy who was just introduced to a new environment and wanted to see everything. Nearing the end of the day, you passed by a park coated in freshly fallen snow. A few demon children were playing in it and having a snowball fight, but otherwise most of it had been untouched. "Reminds me of my childhood, when we'd go out and make snowmen after school." You smiled, taking a sip of your warm beverage. "Why don't we make one?" Diavolo said, already leading you into the park to a spot full of untouched snow. Setting aside the items you'd picked up while you were out on a nearby bench, you helped Diavolo make his best attempt at a snowman. It wasn't the greatest one in the world, mostly on account of the sizes of the snowballs being out of order, but you couldn't help but reciprocate the Prince's proud smile as he finished decorating it.

Mammon:

Mammon was a demon of many titles. Though most of them were derogatory, the Avatar of Greed truly had made various names for himself in the Devildom and in the Human World. One thing Mammon was not, however, a morning demon. As such, when you had arrived at the Devildom's equivalent of the crack of dawn, he was tad more grouchy than usual. He had scoffed and crossed his arms when you revealed why you had woken him up so early, but as his brain slowly woke up he found himself giving into your pleading eyes. You were essentially asking him to spend his entire day by your side as you went out to do various winter activities, and with how tightly wound you had him wrapped around your finger he couldn't deny you such a request. Especially since it would be a full day of just the two of you, alone with just his human, like a date.... Huh? He wasn't daydreaming and he's not blushing right now, its just really cold in his bedroom. You made sure that the two of you were properly bundled up for the day before you snuck out of the house, careful not to make a noise so one of his brother wouldn't wake up and decide to tag along. Mammon found it quite relaxing as the two of you embarked into town, the streets quieter than usual and the vivid signs painting the mostly empty walkways in an array of colors. He longed to pull one of his hands out of his pockets and wrap an arm around you, but his nerves got the best of him and he simply stuffed his roaming hand back into his pocket. It did not remain there for long, however, as you gently grabbed his wrist and began tugging him in the direction of the park. Aside from a few stray footprints, it seemed as if not a soul was in the quite popular spot that was now filled with snow. He was unsure of what you were doing as you crouched down and began balling up a handful of snow, but caught on as the small ball grew bigger and bigger. Mammon was quick to make a sly remark, before helping you with the claim that "no one makes a better snowman than the Great Mammon!". The snowman itself wasn't too bad, it could have been pack a little tighter but still he was proud of it. You couldn't help but take a sneaky pic of his jovial expression to save for yourself. His smiles were worth their weight in gold, after all. And you had no intensions to share.

Genshin:

Zhongli:

The Geo Archon was quite a peculiar person once you got to know him. He was knowledgeable in a wide range of topics, but it was almost heartwarming to watch him whenever he'd find something he had never seen or done before or heard of. Your Kamera could never quite capture that look of curiosity and wonder in his eyes, so you took it upon yourself as a sort of mission to find as many things in the world that might amaze Zhongli. One night, as you listened to his stories about the ancient history of Liyue, you had asked him if he could accompany you the following day. You explained that you wanted to take him somewhere special, but kept the details vague. After taking a good moment to himself to consider his options and try to recall any other duties he may have had, he agreed to accompany you. The next morning, he found himself waiting on the bridge outside of Liyue. He'd arrived earlier than the agreed upon time, and it was only a matter of time before you would arrive. And arrive you did, bearing a pleased expression and a box in your grasp. The box was quickly handed to Zhongli, who opened it as per your instruction. The item inside confused him quite a bit. Why did you purchase him a scarf? It was a tad chilly that morning, but nothing the Geo Archon couldn't handle. But you left no room for questions, simply telling him all would be answered as you arrived at your destination. The Dragonspine was not a place Zhongli often visited, on account of its history and the sheer cold, but he was well aware of most of the areas details. A few things about the landscape had changed in his absence, but for the most part it was the same. A need to tell you all he knew of the location bubbled up in his chest, but he pushed it down and reminded himself you invited him out for a reason. The Archon didn't need any help to guess the reason as to why you had invited him, as you were already urging you to join in on completing the partially made snowman you had created as he momentarily spaced out. You watched him chuckle at your somewhat childish antics, before joining in. You made sure not to look away are blink as that glimmer shone in his eyes, and you began building as many snowmen around you as the snow would allow. Anything to keep his eyes shining at you with delight.

Thoma:

It was needless to say that Thoma was excited and nervous to return to Mondstadt with you. The task of leaving the Kamisato Clan behind was a feat in itself, one that took a heavy toll on his heart as he bid friends he held dear adieu. Yet, he chose to accompany you on your travels of his own free will. As much as he had come to care for the Yashiro Commission and the way he felt indebted to them, he could not resist the way his heart called out for you, desiring to remain by your side no matter what. You had assured him that you would return to Inazuma whenever you took commissions there, and it made him feel a little bit more at ease. His passionate loyalty had transferred onto you, and he wasn't leaving your side anytime soon. Even if the harsh cold of the Dragonspine made his teeth chatter and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, he refused to scurry off and look for warmth while you accomplished your latest quest. He smiled back at you as you brushed the snow off your gloves, the flowers the florist had given you now snuggled deep into the mound of snow. Thoma would've assumed you that the two of you would now use a teleport waypoint and return to the city, but the way you stood deep in thought made him think otherwise. It was not long before you had entertwined his hand with yours, gently pulling him along to the field of snow you had spotted from your vantage point. There was an abandoned Hilichurl camp nearby, but other than that the spot was clear of any signs of threats. You released his hand as you pulled a stray hilichurl mask from the snow, showing it off to the Pyro user with a wide grin. "Let's make a Snowhilichurl before we head back! And we can take a picture of it with my Kamera!" Thoma sighed happily, shaking his head with a smile before assisting you. You had his undying loyalty, and who was he to deny his favorite person a little bit of fun?
