1. SoulSilver

"Come on Silver, won't you celebrate your birthday and christmas with me?"

"No way, pigtails," the redhead huffed as he turned away from her. Like always, she just had to disturb his peace in the Dragon’s Den.

"But why not?" the brunette whined. Just when she had thought of the perfect way to spend Christmas eve and Christmas, this guy just had to refuse to cooperate.

"Because spending only an hour with you is already exhausting, leave alone two days!"

"But last year we spent your birthday and Christmas together too! Wasn't that fun?"

Fun? Those two days were the best two days of my life!

Silver quickly shook his head. He wouldn't become close with anyone. Ever again.

“One: We didn’t spend them, you just kept stalking me. Two: Those two days were the worst days of my life!” he shouted, to clamp his mouth shut afterwards, his eyes round in surprise at what he had just said so bluntly. He was glad his back was facing her. Because if there was anything he didn’t want right now, then it was her seeing his surprised face.

He knew he was lying to himself. What he really didn’t want right now, was to see her reaction to what he had just said.

“F-fine,” he heard a soft voice behind him breaking the silence. “I’ll leave you alone. And here’s your birthday and Christmas gift by the way.”

A soft thud of something being placed on the wooden floor echoed through the Dragon’s Den.

“Last Christmas, I… gave you my heart.” With every word she softly sung, her sobs became more clear to hear. “But.. the very next day, y-you g-gave it aw-way. This year, to.. save me from.. t-tears, I’ll give it t-to s-someone s-pecial.”

The redhead swore he could feel his heart tear a little.

Her voice was shaking. A soft cough was used to make her voice become steady again.

“Come on Denia, let's go,” she ordered her Gardevoir.

Tear, tear, tear.

The Embrace Pokémon gave a soft, comforting cry.

Rip, rip, rip.

“I’m sure Lance’s offer is still standing.”

Snap! … Oh hell the fuck no.

“H-hey!” he shouted. For some reason, he’d rather let her be his problem for two days than let her be Lance’s problem for two days. He always hated when things like this happened. How was he supposed to prevent becoming close with her when he would suddenly develop a ‘Keep her away from other guys’-mode?

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving already! Sheesh..” she muttered.

“Fine! I’ll spend Christmas eve and Christmas with you!” he shouted at the same time.

A silence fell for the second time. Silver found it nerve wrecking.

Feeling obliged to speak, he opened his mouth again.

“I didn’t mean what I said, ok.”

Still too afraid to turn around, the redhead let a silence fall, hoping that the brunette would in some way declare her presence. He broke it after 10 seconds, turning around in fear that she had already left without his knowledge.

“I’m sor-”

He was pounced by the petite brunette, who was wearing a big happy smile.

“I know. You forgot that Denia can read your mind. But don’t worry, she only told me that you didn’t mean it.~”

He saw Gardenia in the background, eying him with smirk that no one would’ve ever expected from a Gardevoir.

Silver mentally facepalmed, hung, burned, drowned, electrocuted, beheaded and buried himself.


2. Twinleafshipping

“The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful,” Hikari hummed as she sat down with a mug of hot chocolate, staring at Jun at the other side of the Kotatsu, soundly asleep, face directed at the TV, that was still on.

She looked outside the living room-window as the snow softly fell down. She saw the white substance piling up and getting higher and higher every time she looked away for just one second.

“And since there’s no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow~,” she softly sung with her tender voice.

Jun’s eyes slowly opened as he heard the Christmas episode of his favorite show starting.

“Holy shit IT’S CHRISTMAS~!” he shouted in glee.

Hikari facepalmed. Why, of all shows, did his favorite show have to be South Park?


3. Mangaquest

“Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,” the children from the orphanage happily sung along with Crystal.

“Oh, what fun, it is to ride in a one-Rapidash open sleigh, hey!” Crystal cheerfully guided them.

The happy scene was rudely interrupted as a door slammed open, revealing a familiar young man with goggles.

“Oh baby all I want for Christmas, iiiiiis… Yooooooooooouuu-” the golden eyes boy sung, reaching the high note without any trouble at all, his voice sounding purer than an angel’s.

And he was still holding that note.

Some watched in pure amazement, some were happy that he was finally here, some wondered who the hell this strange man pointing at miss Crystal was, one just sighed and started to polish the green gem on his forehead, one wondered if he had something down there squeezing his nuts just to reach that note and one, one just had to go to the bathroom really bad.

Finally he stopped. With a self-fulfilled smirk, the Breeder looked the stunned Catcher in her mesmerizing, crystal-blue eyes that he loved so much. He suddenly noticed that she was dressed for the occasion for once. Her beautiful dark blue hair was in twin tails, as always. Her cheeks were a beautiful shade of red, probably a mix from embarrassment and shyness. Her lips were a sweet dark pink. But instead of her usual attire, a deep red sweater wrapped itself around her feminine features. A black T-shirt could be seen under it. Casual blue jeans covered her long, pale legs and a short, black skirt freely spun around her thighs when she would turn around. Gold swore he could even see something that looked like mascara on her eyelashes.

She looked absolutely beautiful.

A long, good silence fell.

“Gol-”

“In my bed.”

THUMP.

“Owowowowowoooooow! Oh come on, it was a joke!”

GET OUT!


4. Ferriswheel

“O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!”

White raised an eyebrow at the green-haired man.

“N, what the hell are you singing?”

“I am singing the original version of ‘Oh Christmas Tree’. Did you know that it was originally a German song? And the song wasn’t even about a Christmas tree to begin with, it was about a fir tree and because-”

White sighed. She absolutely didn’t feel like listening to one of his long explanations about a subject that she didn’t give a single Ditto about. She got up from her lying position on the couch. “Alright, what if I sing a Christmas song for you?”

The greenet immediately stopped talking, eying the brunette in surprise. “Will you do that?” he asked her innocently, eyes round like an Eevee’s when begging for food.

White looked at him, surprised, but then smiled. “Sure.” It surprised her that his childish behavior could still surprise her after all this time. Though often it was a sweet or funny surprise. Like how her singing a Christmas song to him could be so exciting. What could she say? Little things please little minds, though that sounded mean. N had anything but a little mind.

In less than 1 second, he sat down on the ground in front of her, as she sat up straight. She coughed one time and opened her mouth.

“What’s the song about?” N interrupted her.

“You’ll see, you’ll see. I bet you like this song N.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Now stop interrupting me.”

“Sorry sorry sorry sor-” N quickly clamped his mouth shut.

White held back a chuckle. She took a deep breath and began singing.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Stantler
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.

“All of the other Stantler
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any Stantler games.”

“White, I don’t think I like this song,” she heard the voice of male softly mumble. She looked down at the manchild to see his eyes watering.

Oh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!

“N!” she exclaimed as she quickly kneeled down in front of the grown man. “You don’t have to cry,” she said, gripping his shoulders, trying to comfort him. “Besides, you haven’t even heard the end yet.”

“I don’t need to hear the end,” he childishly pouted.

“But then you’ll never hear what happened to Rudolph. Maybe something good happens at the end of the song, hm?” She gave him a motherly smile. “Just listen to the end ok?” she softly begged him.

N looked her in the eyes. He could never resist when she made that face. Her cerulean eyes softly pleading and shimmering, her soft pink lips wearing a warm smile that made him warm up on the inside. He felt the heat rushing to his cheeks.

“F-fine,” he mumbled, like a child finally giving in to playing with someone he didn’t like, just because there was no other option.

“Ok then,” White smiled at him again. She sat down on the couch again. After checking whether N was ready, she continued to sing the song where she had left off.

“Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
‘Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?’

“Then all the Stantler loved him
As they shouted out with glee:
‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Stantler,
You'll go down in history!’”

“There, I told you- N WHY ARE YOU CRYING IT WAS A HAPPY ENDING?!”

“I’m so happy for Rudolph…” the manchild softly sobbed, a big, happy smile worn on his face.
My Secret Santa gift for :iconspectrabyss:
Well there it is! Finally! And look katie I'm on time sort of yaaaay:dummy:
I am so. very. sorry about this being so late! It was almost done but then my laptop died and everything was gone when I came back so I had to rewrite most of it, that's why it's also so short, I had intended to make up some more but I just couldn't! Please forgive me... TT_TT

It's short and probably full of mistakes, but I hope you enjoy SpectrAbyss, merry belated Christmas:dummy:

EDIT: On a slightly different note:
Hikari, did you really have to make Kotone and Silver get into the cliché 'I'm going to some other guy. No now I want to keep you here because I'm secretly jealous'-situation?
The answer is yes, yes I had to:dummy:

Did you really have to make Gold be the stereotype perv like always?
The answer is yes, I just couldn't resist:dumy:

And did you really have to make N so childish?
The answer is, guess what, yes:dummy:

EDIT2: On another slightly different note:
Gardenia is my Gardevoir in SoulSilver. I always pronounce it like you would pronounce it in Japanese: Ga-ru-dé-nee-a. In short Denia = dé-nee-a:dummy:
Having inherited her mama's character, she is always very cheerful, however also sometimes mischievous in cases like this and she knows how to stand up for herself. When she's mad you're fucked:iconheplz:
if you want to see how Kotone got her in my headcanon you should read Silver memories chapter 1.5: Ilex memories This was to be honest an unintended advertisement OTL
