Christmas present

The atmosphere was all happy and festive on the houses. People were laughing, singing or just plain out fighting, cue to some boneheads named Crim and Saer. Everyone is having a great time, all except one person, Gill. He just stays out of the festivities of the dorms, but he does wanders around. He sees how the decorations are going on the the smart crew house. He sees Rogue commanding everything as they were currently putting the lights up outside. Well, Rogue and Valen were. Delusion was running around with the lights tangled on her tentacles and Occult was hanging very suspicious symbols as Christmas decorations on the tree. He decided to not go say something to them and kept walking. Eventually he arrived at the rascal unit house. Loud arguing could be heard from the back and when Gill rounded the corner he was greeted with Saer and Jax fighting with huge candy canes. From where they got that he has no idea, but that they were fighting and arguing over something, using them as swords they were. He could hear Soult and Lenux from the side betting on who would win and do the dishes. And something about who would bleed first. Ah, so that's what this was about. Gill just turned around and went away, a neutral look on his face. He didn't want nothing to do with that. He kept walking going to his house, the duosome duo just to stop on his tracks as he entered the house. Alex was running after Crim trying to place a star on top of Crim horn as Crim was just running around the living room trying to get away from him, there were already some ivy wrapped around the horn. He just frowned at that, shaking his head and heading upstairs. They were too busy to notice him anyway. Hours had passed and Gill was still in his room, a package of hot pockets next to him as he was reading a book about the different types of hot pockets. It was a good book. All of a sudden a knock sounded on his door. Gill glanced at the door and was about to go back to his book before something slipped under his door. He blinked before marking where he was and closed the book, setting it on his desk before getting up and walking to the slip of paper on his floor. It was folded in two and upon opening it, the only thing it said was 'Come downstairs'. He looked curiously at the paper, flipping it but it really was the only thing written on it. He sighed, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't at least a bit curious. He places the paper on the pocket of his jacket and opened the door, heading downstairs. He sincerely didn't knew what he was expecting but seeing nothing was not one of them. He looked around trying to see if he would see anything new, another piece of paper but he didn't saw nothing. He huffed, annoyed, already thinking this was a prank of Crim until he saw from the corner of his socket a paper taped to the window. He went to it and picked it up, unfolding it and reading it's contents. It only had one word. 'Yard.'What did that meant? To go to their yard? He frowned more as he looked outside. It had snowed so it seemed even if it had stopped for now, but the sun was getting near of laying down, letting the night take over. His frown deepened as he snuggled his scarf closer to his face and opened the front door, and closing it after getting out. He just wanted to end this joke so that he could go back to the quietness of his room. He went around the house just to look shocked at what must be the most ugly snow statue he had ever seen. Taking a closer look it almost seemed like. Gill frowned deeply. It looked like him. Or at least a very ugly and deformed ugly snow version of him. He was staring at it with a non impressed look on his face until he saw something on the ground. There was a trail of stones leading somewhere. Raising a brow in amusement he started to follow it. Soon the trail would change from stones to sticks neatly aligned to leafs and then it started to change to coloring pencils, to knifes and electronic things, like microwaves and, was that a plastic phone? Gill blinked, wondering what the hell it was happening, while still following the trail that went inside the forest. He could see a light starting to peak through the leaves up ahead, night already fallen. He walked a bit more, walking cautiously before moving the tree branches to the side and coming face to face with a very, unique situation. He entered a little clearing with Christmas lights hanged on the branches, illuminating the area, some spear torches on the corners too. A huge Christmas tree was on the center, covered head to toes with various Christmas ornaments. And Crim and Saer were fighting in front of it, Crim currently doing a head lock on Saer. Delusion was panicking trying to separate them while Valen was just keeping a eye out to see if they wouldn't hurt her. All of a sudden Alex popped up in front of Gill, dropping from the tree. Gill just blinked, a neutral face on his face. "What is this?" He pushed Alex to the side entering the illuminated clearing, looking around, one by one everyone started to notice that he had arrived and stopped what he was doing. Alex moved to stand next to everyone, covered in pine needles before shouting happily. "This is your party!" He said as he gave a goofy smile. Gill only response was a raise of his brow as he looked at Alex, wanting for him to explain. But it was Valen who talked. "We noticed how this past few days you have been feeling down and going to your room or isolating yourself from us so-" He was abruptly cut by Delusion who jumped forward, hugging Gill arm tightly, her tentacles wrapping around his body in a hug too. "So we decided to throw a party for you! So that you can see that you aren't alone here and have people here for you. Your family." She giggled before letting go of Gill and running back to the tree, just to be pulled back. Seemed like her tentacles had other intentions as they were still wrapped around Gill. She started to scold her tentacles until they slowly let go of him. This time it was Crim who talked, a annoyed look on his face but if you looked close enough you could tell that it was fake. "Yeah, so have this party and cheer up you fucking freezer. Wherever you go it gets colder by the second." That's all that Gill was gonna get from Crim before he was dragged by Delusion and Alex, both grabbing each of his arms and making him try all the food they cooked by themselves. Lies, they had the help of Valen and Rogue but Gill doesn't need to know that. Time passed with Crim and Saer fighting and arguing and with Rogue and Valen scolding them and with Delusion and Alex doing their best to cheer him up, telling how it was their doing on the statue and the trail when the stones started to end. Occult and Soult stayed by the side, not really much for socialization but still staying. At the end of the night, everyone headed up a hill where a huge blanket was laying on the floor and they sat Gill down and each one laid around the cold skeleton. While Gill was observing everyone looking up at the stars and talking among themselves, some arguing, some laughing and some just sighing, he couldn't help for a tiny smile to appear on his face as he looked up at the stars too. Perhaps it wasn't so bad to belong to a family after all. Maybe he didn't need to isolate himself like he actually have been doing. He didn't told anyone but he thought he would be better off alone, that they probably didn't want to be near someone like him. Guess he thought wrong. He liked being part of this weird family, and if they accepted him and wanting him around, guess he could do a effort to tolerate them and give them their company. All of them ended up sleeping outside, Gill himself sleeping peaceful and good like he hasn't before, the little smile still on his face.
