Selfy

Haru/Dantes, Naughty or Nice:

If you look at the two together in the same room, it should be obvious to anyone that Haru Okumura would be the nice one of the two. That and the fact that the Count of Monte Cristo had the scowl that could even freeze over hell even if it was powered by the Holy Grail!

Yet, in spite of him being vengeance incarnate, the fact that he willingly tolerated and even supported some of Haru's escapades as a phantom thief had not go unnoticed! So with a little party hosted by her ever so generous leader in La Blanc, Dantes was content with being downstairs at the restaurant with a simple cup of coffee while the kids... well... did their thing.

Eventually it did start to get late and the members of the Phantom Thieves were leaving one by one, eventually it was Haru that joined Edmond putting the two together in a booth with him still nursing a cup. Sure, a certain cat and Joker was near by, but they were at least savvy enough to give the two their privacy.

"You know... You aren't as bad as you say you are," she silently mumbled as she rested her head against his shoulder and stifled a yawn, just almost an eyelid closed away from completely dozing away. "You might be one of the nice guys after all"

And the Avenger Servant gave a small huff as a response, but with a flick of his wrist did his cape find its way to cover Haru like a blanket. "Don't say things that will make you regret saying them later."


Leanne/Honori, Ugly Sweaters


Heat and clothes that generates body heat were things that Honori tried to avoid like the plague. But never let it be said that he would never accept a request from his wife when she did her best on making these sweaters from scratch! Plus they did also serve one more important function:

He can finally hug his wife without her having to shiver from his cold touch. So even if they did seem a bit gaudy and over the top... and also itchy as all get out, seeing Leanne beam with pride on wearing matching clothes was more than enough to make it worth it! And it was clear how much she loves it given that she was showing off herself and her husband about her hard work and efforts being paid off!

... although the itchiness is starting to get bothersome. But despite that, he could only wonder just how she managed to fit her wings putting these things on without being in a bind! Clearly the work of a Christmas miracle!


Enkidu/Mayu, Sledding

Christmas time means a lot of things! Spending time with friends, family, and loved ones doing things together and other good times! With Kyoko and Kotone being distracted by the King of Heroes and Yakumo off in the VIP suites thanks to an 'anonymous admirer' that has funded their ski vacation, this left Mayu with plenty of time and privacy to be with the one thing that seemed to be the only thing not so crazy in her crazy life!

That is until Enkidu, the said not so crazy thing in her life, suggested on doing something absolutely crazy: Sledding off from the top of the mountain from the ski lodge all the way down to the ski lift. Of course the idea of sledding is fine, but not from top if a freaking mountain!!

But somehow, perhaps with Enkidu's stubbornness as a typical Sumerian and perhaps there was a bit of a thrill of it making it exciting, but here she was just teetering on the edge of the slope with only a leather strap clutched in her grasp and a casual Lancer resting their head on top of hers.

"Mayu... are you nervous?" There was a calm tone to his question as an arm wraps around her.

"More nervous about falling off than anythiiiiiiiIIIAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Yet, just as the she said anything, Enkidu already launched the two into the air with a burst of mana before they could even touch snow. Meanwhile, a certain Kusanagi and a younger sister look up in the sky to see the majestic display of romantic bonding flying over their heads.

It was quite beautiful... and also a headache to the King.

Shana/Gil/May, Fireplace/Warming up

Again, somehow they managed to arrive to this insane island. And again, the trio of phenomenal power are trapped having to deal with the unforgiving cold from the snow and winds that defies logic and expectations... probably because it honestly felt like the island is against them at times.

Now Gilgamesh and Shana aren't humans, let alone anything remotely ordinary people. This kind of weather, however, is absolutely brutal against someone who is stubborn as May whom would desperately trying to stick it out as long as she could!

So it was decided then and there in their cabin... or at least what is left of it. From the little King of Heroes, he brought out a large lounging couch and a fluffy blanket to cover the three of them comfortably. From the pirate herself, she was able to fashion up some hot drinks for them to stay warm on the inside! And finally from the flame haze herself is... herself! By being a very reliable heat source!

Needless to say, the three were huddled together trying to keep warm and being somewhat grateful for the island not being even ridiculous in its efforts to be a pain on Christmas day. And that's when Gilgamesh had an idea come to him after being reminded of the mistletoe shenanigans from many years before.

"Hey... wanna see a way to get warm really fast? Watch this!" And before either girls could reply, a kiss would be planted immediately on Shana's lips and caused her face to flare up red. And it didn't take much for May to catch on with the idea since a kiss was coming from the other side of the Shana sandwich! So of course in the end, they all did work together to survive the cold... but the blushing Shana could only huff as both her cheeks were smooched on by the other two.

"Geez, you two... could have at least let me be prepared mentally getting swarmed like that."

"Ah, but did you hate it? Didn't you like having all the attention on you for a change and be spoiled?" An excellent retort from May that only made Shana's tsundere tendencies to flare up red like her face. And Shana's reply?

"... shut up." Clearly she didn't dislike it either!
