It was a snowy night in Newcastle, Australia.

A nice snowy night in a nice snowy town. Seeing the snowflakes falling down so smoothly. Everyone in town was walking through the streets, seeing many beautiful Christmas lights hanging from one pole to another.

And everyone was enjoying every second just to look at the beautiful decorations. They even started to buy some toys, jewels and some good clothing for them to wrap up for presents. And some good foods and pastries for their dinner.

While everyone was busy doing their shoppings and sightseeing. A young man, named Archie, was walking through the streets, carrying groceries in his arms while humming to the Christmas music that was playing on the street. He greeted some people as he passed by. With that soft smile of his. He even made some women giggle when they passed by him.

He was just on his way to his apartment. Bringing the groceries that he bought to make something for himself and with a special someone.

He greeted a few more people on the way before entering a building. And heading to the elevator. “Okay, it seems liyyke I got everythin'. Now I hope he’s not fahkin' angry at me fawr takin' so long.” He saw the elevator door had opened and he stepped right inside as he pressed the button of which floor he wanted to go. Humming to the Christmas music that was playing in the elevator and watched the numbers on the top of the elevator door passing by. Then saw the number had stopped on the 5 which it’s his floor. Reaching for his keys in his pocket before stepping out of the elevator while walking his way to his door. Holding the bag with his other arm.

Pushing the key into the keyhole of the doorknob and turning it to open. As he opened the door and stepped inside, he started to stomp his boots a bit to get some snow fall onto the rug and ruffled his wavy dark brown hair to get the other snow off as well. Before he heard a small meow sound as if it was a greeting for him. He looked down and snickered to see his black cat had already got some snow on his fur. The snow that was from his hair that he was getting off from.

Watching him shake some snow off and gently rubbing himself against Archie’s legs.

“Hey there Vadah. Miss me?” He said as he bent down a bit and petted him while carefully holding the groceries bag in hand. “Sorry for takin' so long. There are heaps of people around the bloody streets.” He stood up and placed the groceries on the small table before taking off his coat as he hung it up on the coat rack against the wall. Then grabbed his shoppings as walked over to the kitchen and placed the bags on the counter.

And then he was looking at the window when he walked to the kitchen, seeing some snowflakes falling down. He somehow found this quite calming. Since the weather forecast did say it will be a smooth and calm snowy month. Thank God.

He had enough crazy moments right now since he came back from a mission about a few weeks ago. He remembers how rough it was and hoped that this Christmas holiday would give him peace.

After that mission, his Captain, Lachlan, had already released them to have their Christmas time with their family.

He heard that he was going to spend some time with his daughters and with Talullah. He wished him luck by the way with that nice woman.

Damien, the Sergeant, was also planning to visit his family back at the farm. Hopefully he’ll be okay when meeting his parents. Even Daniel was planning to go back to see his lover. Spending some NICE Christmas nights with her, if you know of what he means.

And lastly, Joseph. His buddy. Had already gone to do his own things on Christmas. Joseph WAS planning to spend some holidays with him but he has to do some things. Which Archie understands and doesn’t mind at all.

He started to bring out the cat food from the bag and some ingredients that he needed to make his own food.

“Merrow…”

“Patience Vadah. I’ll get tah yah tuckah after I get some things ta make my tucker. Yours is easy ta make while mine needs some pans 'n pots 'n a stove.” He said with a small smile while he walked to each cupboard to get a pot, cutting board, knives, some spices and everything that he needed to make his food.

After that, he started to open the cat food for Vader and would smile to hear him meowing. Archie had started to pour it in Vader’s bowl that shows a Star Wars theme on it. He placed it down before he started to make his food.

“Alright, let's get started.” He stretched his arms and started cooking.

#a~one hour later~

“Done!Whew! Thought it will nevah be done!” Archie smiled as he adored his cooking that he made. He could feel the pride inside of him as he took the food onto the table.

Vader had hopped onto the table and was sniffing the food. “Mrow.”

“Hey Vadah. Wait just a moment. I need ta grab some drinks then we can eat. Alright?” He started to head to the fridge as he brought out a bottle.

Vader started meowing at him when he saw the bottle.

“Hey hey. Calm down. It’s NON-ALCOHOL. I still remembah I promise ya I won’t go rotten while you’ah ahround.” He placed a glass cup on the counter while opening the bottle. “It’s Altina drinks. Relaxed.”

Vader was just staring at the bottle while still looking at him like he’s not believing his owner’s words. Archie rolled his eyes to see his own cat not believing him. He put the bottle away and walked over to the table as he sat at the end of it.

While Vader jumped off the table and landed on the chair next to his owner. Sat down on the chair while looking up at him. Waiting for him to eat first.

Archie took a good look on the table to see the food he made.

Two meat pies, half of the Christmas ham, pork and a small choc ripple cake. He didn’t cook that much since it’s only him and Vader. He sighed as he gazed at the chair on the other side of the table. Archie was silenced for a bit as he was staring at the empty chair. Vader noticed too of how his owner was staring.

The poor man kept staring at it as he started to see an image of an old man sitting there. With that cheerful smile on his face. Smiling at the pilot man as he nodded at Archie. He could feel his heart was aching a bit before reaching something into his shirt and pulled out an ID tag and gently rubbed on it with his thumb.

“Miss ya, grandpah. Wish ya weah heah ta enjoy these that I’ve made.” He softly smiled at the tag before he felt the presence of his grandfather near him. As if he was just right next to him. “And…I hope you’ah proud of me. I’ve wawrked so 'ahrd ta reach this fahr. 'n I really wish ya could meet my teammates awr make that family that I've made.”

Vader started to clean his fur a bit while listening to his owner talking.

“They’ah grouse. 'n I would’ve made it this fahr if it weren’t fawr them.” Archie kept rubbing the tag as he smiled softly at it. “I hope I've made ya proud. Miss ya and…love ya.” He gently kissed on the tags before tucking it back into his shirt. Smiling at his cat nuzzling onto his hand. “I’m okay, buddy. Just…missed him.”

He petted Vader’s ear before placing some piece of ham and pork on his boy’s plate. And just smiled softly at Vader hopping on the table as he munched on the food that was provided for him.

Archie petted his cat for a bit before he started eating his food. “Mmm. So good.” He said it softly as he looked at Vader. “Dya like the bloody tucker Vade?”

Vader meowed happily as he continued to eat.

“That’s good as gold. Now, tomorrow is a big day for ya ta open up yah prezzy. 'n I promise ya, you’ll love it.”

“Mreow.”

“No. Ya won’t open it tonight. That’s now how it goes.”

“Mrrrooooow!”

“Don’t give me that attitude, young bloke.” He chuckled as he continued to eat.

After that great dinner they had, Archie had started to clean up. While Vader walked up to a window sill and lay there. Watching the snowflakes fall down. He also sometimes put his paw against the window trying to get one of it.

Archie smiled to see his cat scratching on the window glass. “Don't scratch on the bloody glass, Vadah. Don't want ta replaced befawah Christmas.” He started to wash the dishes after turning on his phone to play some Christmas songs in a Jazz version. Since he really does feel like in a mood of hearing something soft and slow tonight.

Soon after cleaning up the kitchen and wiping everything. He started to grab some wine in the cabinet and grabbed the wine glass before hearing Vader meowing loudly again at him. “Oh come on, I know I said I promise ta not drink tonight but I really need it. Okay?”

Vader just sat at the window sill and glared at his owner.

“Oh don’t give me that look. Just fawr tonight…please?” Archie pleaded to his cat.

Vader just kept glaring before hopping down from the window sill and made his way to his owner. Just rubbing himself against the legs to show that he’ll let him drink. Just for tonight.

Arhcie smiled before he crouched down and patted him. “Ta, love. I promise it won’t be mawah than five.” He quickly lifted him up a bit and pecked his head before putting him back down. Then he stood up and went to get his wine ready.

Vader purred a bit as he started trotting his way to the couch and hopping onto it. Getting himself comfortable before laying down.

Meanwhile, Archie is getting some candles from the shopping bags that he brought. Cinnamon scent. Now that would be nice to fill this room with Christmas spirits.

He placed one on the small table next to the couch, one next to the TV and the last one on the window sill where Vader used to sit. Already light up with the match. Archie had breathed in the scent for a moment before grabbing his glass and the wine bottle and turned off the music from his phone.

Vader’s ear twitched a bit to hear Archie walking over. He stood up and stretched before making room for his owner.

Archie smiled a bit to see his cat move away as he sat down. Placing the bottle of wine on the small table next to him and grabbing the remote, putting on a Christmas classic movie. While sitting down and had a wine in his hand. He smiled softly at Vader hopping onto his lap.

He petted him before switching some channels. “So, wat would ya liyyke ta watch?”

Vader took a look at the screen before moving his head to see that one movie he would like to watch. “Meow.”

“Gahrfield? The bloody Christmas special? Agayyn? We already watched that last yeahr.”

“Mrow…” He looked up at Archie with his pleading eyes.

Poor Archie couldn’t resist his kitty eyes. It ALWAYS gets to him. Seeing those kinds of eyes is almost like looking through stars at night. Which he adores with that so much. So he sighed in defeat and smiled. “Oh how can I say no ta that face? Alright then, we’ll watch this.”

He clicked the movie before sitting back and watched while enjoying drinking his glass of wine. And Vader just lay on his owner’s lap, watching the movie and purred softly to feel Archie’s hand on his soft fur.

“Merry Christmas, Vadah.” He said quietly before continuing to watch the movie.

The two. A man and his cat. Enjoyed the rest of their evenings watching a movie and waiting for the next day of opening their presents.

And pretty sure that they will be happy to open it-

“VADAH! NO! I SAID NO OPENIN’ THE BLOODY PRESENTS! BAD KITTY!”

……Well, SOME might be too happy to open their presents.

THE END
