Of course Artful, Badware and Veronica were the ones who wanted to celebrate it. They decorated all the house and put a christmas tree in the living room. They were not that much presents under it but atleast every of them was meaning full. Badware even think about attaching a branch of mistletoe (no it's not foreshadowing). It was currently 23h30, almost everyone was gather in the living room. Pursuer and Artful were sit on the counch with Léo in the magician arms, resting but not sleeping. Killroid was sit on the other side of the counch while Baware was up with Veronica to give everyone there gifts. Only Harken was missing, still in her room, sleeping or reading. After everyone got there gifts, they were still one, for Harken. "I'm gonna go get Harken, if she want to come of course" Veronica simply said as she head toward Harken's bedroom. "Im sure she will" Badware laugh as she was now out of the room.
Veronica softly knock at the door, not wanting to enter without permisson. She didn't waited a long time before Harken open the door, she seemed annoyed at first but quickly calmed down when she saw the loveshot civilian. "Everyone is in the living with their gifts, and youres are waiting too" Annonced Veronica, while blushing and smiling. Harken esitated for a moment, she didn't wanted to come at first because she knew it will be lound but when she looked at the woman in front of her she sigh and decided to come. Veronica was of course happy about that and taked Harken hand into her, guiding the construct to the living room.
When they arrived at the framing just before the living room they were stoped by Badware digital voice. "You're under the mistletoe ! Now you two have to kiss !" They said laugthing, of course they had prepare it specialy for that moment. The civilian and the other dimentional creature looked up to see that in fact there was a mistletoe branch just above them. They both quickly blushed and look at eachother. "We're not forced to, if you don't want-..." Veronica quickly said embarassed. But before she could even finish her sentence Harken has gently put her hand on the loveshot cheek, silently showing her that she would appreciate it and also asking for her consent for the kiss (remember kids, consent is important). Veronica blushed even more and nob before approaching her face from Harken's. Even if technicaly Harken don't have a mouth, well Veronica just put a kiss just below Harken's eye. It was a soft and chaste kiss, but they both appreciated it. After it they quickly pulled eachother away because everyone was looking at them. Killroid and Pursuer didn't really cared but Artful was like a fanboy who's ship finaly got canonized and Badware looked so proud of themself for this situation. And so to change the subject because she was really embarassed, Veronica go get and give to Harken her gift. As she saw the wrapped present she search in her pocket for the present she prepared for Veronica and hand it to her will blushing even more. The civilian take it curiosly and smiled at her. And now that everyone was here with their gifts they could open them.
Badware and Killroid just gift each other some informatics components and laught about it. Artful and Pursuer didn't offer each other presents but instead buyed and make presents for their baby, they looked like an happy family and they were. And for the lesbians, Veronica present was a a beautiful and colorful bracelet with a represantation of a pink hibiscus flower on it. She was speechless, but as to show how much she apreciate it, she put it on herself. Harken was relieved to see that she actually loved it. And then the construct opent her present, it was a pendant representing a green hellebore. "It remind me of you'r eye's color... I hope you like it" Veronica said slightly scared that she will not like it. "I like it !" Harken quickly answer her to not let her think otherwise. "...Could you help me put it on ?" She asked to the loveshot civilian who smiled and happily helped her. After it they looked at eachother again, starting to blush even more again.
After everyone had their present open , the little family return to their bedroom because Léo was starting to be tired and also the two parents, Killroid and Badware headed to the kitchen to clean it, and so the two woman were left alone in the living room. After making sure no one will comeback and disturbed them, Harken came closer to Veronica. "...could... could I kiss you again ?" She asked the civilian who blushed even more than her, and she quietly nob, too embarassed to speak. And so she kissed her (as much as she can since she doesn't have a mouth), it was still a soft kiss but maybe less esitating and chaste one. After it they were both even more red than before, but still stayed in each other's arms. You could say that was they're favorite Christmas for both of them, because now they were together.
