"I don't get the point of this." Blade huffed, piping some decorative icing onto his gingerbread house.

It was a miracle that you got Blade to do something so trivial, especially since it was hard enough to even get him to leave the base most days. If Blade thought something was useless, then he wouldn't do it. The only reason that Blade agreed to do this was because you promised to leave him alone for the rest of the day.

Blade wouldn't admit that he secretly liked spending time with you, however. He secretly loved the way your face lit up when he agreed to make gingerbread houses with you, and he secretly loved the concentrated look in your eyes as you placed decorations on your house.

"This is stupid, in my opinion." he grumbled, placing a red gumdrop on the roof of his house.
