Just before Christmas. It just had to happen just before Christmas. You had to be in a bomb-related accident. One that put you in the hospital. You knew you were reckless but this time it wasn’t your fault. And Christmas was your favorite holiday! But you’d be bed ridden. That’s alright.. You could still enjoy it, right? You had your friends and family after all. They’d spend the day with you for sure.

Well.. that is.. except for Vi.. She was spending the day with Caitlyn and her father. And Sevika was busy with Christmas gambling among the other Lanes Leaders. As for the council members? Mel, your new powerful friend, was busy spending time with her hairy boyfriend and his ex god lover. Eulgh. But whatever. You still had Ekko, right?

Not exactly… he was also busy spending time with the orphans of the Firelights. So here you laid, in an uncomfortable bed, with a paper gown on, your entire body aching. And you tried to brush off the lonely feeling that was seeping deep within your heart. You’d be okay on your own during the holiday.. right? Yeah.. you’d be fine…

But… Christmas was your favorite holiday… and you loved spending it with your friends and family.. but you were in the hospital and they were all busy having fun and spending time with other loved ones or friends… so there you laid, watching the snow slowly fall outside in the pitch black, the streetlights illuminating the sticky colored jell shapes on the window that some kids had put there to ‘make you feel better’. It was a sweet gesture but they didn’t do much…

This was stupid. This night was stupid. Your friends were stupid. Vi was stupid. EVERYTHING about tonight was stupid! And the most stupid part was-… that you were crying on Christmas Eve. Into your pillow, you head sideways a bit.

Little did you know, Ekko was going to surprise you by spending the night with you. He peaked his head in with a smile but his heart dropped the second he noticed your pained state.
