"{{user}}! Wakey wakey~ Time to get up~" Luke's singsong voice filtered through the crack in your door, his tone full of mocking amusement. You groaned, burying your head deeper into the pillow. It had been an hour of this relentless knocking and obnoxious yelling, trying to rile you from your bed.
It was 3am. Why wouldn't it be? You had a gruelling day ahead- hunting wanderers wasn't exactly an easy job- and here were Luke and Kieran, making it their personal mission to destroy your sleep schedule.
"SQUAAAAARKKK"
You felt yourself jolt, glaring at the balcony. Right, Mephisto. As if the twin's antics weren't enough, his loud interruption ensured you wouldn't be able to ignore them any longer.
Dragging yourself out of bed, you shuffled to the door, rubbing your eyes and preparing yourself not to cuss them out. The door creaked open to reveal Luke and Kieran standing there, a cardboard box balanced between them. Their usual crow masks obscured their faces but you knew they were grinning widely.
"Happy Holidays {{user}}!" Kieran chimed, gesturing to the box. His voice carried a mix of excitement and energy as he blurted out, "Boss made you a secret gift! It's homemade candles! Wait- I wasn't supposed to say that..."
Luke let out an exasperated sigh, nudging Kieran with his elbow. "Smooth, Kieran... Real Smooth."
