Close to Christmas

[laminae]

[Merry Christmas, Snow! At some point near the holiday Fern will be dropping off some wrapped gifts:

-A handcarved bird whistle
-A crocheted deer plush (because let's be real after her December she could use a cuddly friend)
-And some forest critter cookie cutters

Enjoy!]

[Varian's definitely feeling guilty still about everything that's gone on with Snow's stepmother...well, no, not everything, just the fact Snow has had any pain with it. Which is why ]

Hey, you available? I know things are...a lot right now, but I've got something for you.

Text;

[onebadapple]

Hello, Varian. Yes, I'm available.

You have something for me?

[droptheious]

Great! Where do you wanna meet?

And of course, I do. It's a special day!

[onebadapple]

Perhaps the fabric store? I need some more yarn and thread to finish my Christmas gifts.

A special day? Is it an American holiday today?

[droptheious]

You know, that would be perfect!

No, it's an amazing holiday known as Snow White's birthday? Maybe you've heard of it?

[onebadapple]

[It's a LONG time before Snow White responds, mostly because she was crying and had to collect herself.

No one has wished me that in 12 years... Thank you, Varian. Honestly, I had forgotten. And thank you for remembering.

[droptheious]

[Oh wow, this is utterly heartbreaking. If he could hate Grimhilde more...]

12 years? That's awful, I'm so sorry. And you're welcome, very welcome. How about we meet in the fabric store and I can give you your gift?

[onebadapple]

I... I got used to it. But I don't have to anymore. I'll see you soon!

[droptheious]

Exactly! You don't have to anymore!

Great, be there before you know it.

[And he'll make his way to the shop, a little wrapped parcel in his hands as he waits outside for her. ]

Action;

[onebadapple]

[Snow had the list of the brands of yarn, their number, and threads she wanted when she saw Varian, she waved to him. She looked, well, quite different. Dressed all in black, she both stood out and blended in. Her one singular color was the red ribbon in her hair. She smiled at Varian as she approached.]

Varian, it's so good to see you. [She hugged onto the other boy. Holding onto him for a bit, wanting that human connection before ultimately letting go.] H-How are you?

[droptheious]

[He's more than happy to return that hug, staying there as long as she needs him to. ]

I'm okay. A little homesick, I guess. But I'll be fine.

[This isn't the first Christmas he's spent without his dad (he remembers the cold, miserable one in prison) but it's still...unpleasant to be without him now. Still, he holds his gift up.]

What's important right now is it's your birthday! This is for you.

[onebadapple]

[Her eyes widen as she takes the birthday gift, holding it for a long while. Her hands run down the wrapping.]

This is truly so sweet of you. May I open it now?

[droptheious]

Of course, you can. It is your birthday as we have firmly established. It's the day for opening gifts!

[Inside she will find a handmade sewing gauntlet, already fully stocked with supplies.]

It's a sewing gauntlet! So- so you can work on your projects and not worry about juggling everything or putting things down as you work.

[onebadapple]

OH! Oh, look how clever this is! [She put it on her non-dominant hand and turned it this way and that.] It fits perfectly!

[She took it off, careful of the scissors and pushpins and needles before she wrapped up Varian in a big hug and pressed a kiss to his cheek.]

I love it!

I love it so much! Thank you for my birthday gift!

[droptheious]

[He watches her gush about it, clearly pleased that this has gone down so well. He definitely wasn't expecting the hug and lets out a surprised little squeak at it, before returning it.]

Hah, you're welcome. I'm really glad you like it. You deserve it.

[onebadapple]

I do. I really do. I'll be using it right away, there are Christmas gifts that need some finishing touches and I'll have this, now!

Varian can I tell you something though, even more than the sewing gauntlet, you've given me one of the greatest gifts I could have asked for.

[droptheious]

Well, I'm glad to help in the...uh further work in future projects.

[His smile turns a little awkward.]

Oh um, really? I mean, it's pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure I could make something better...

[onebadapple]

No no, this isn't something you made. This is something you did. Ever since I arrived, you've been a very dear friend, more than that. You've been like a big brother. I felt like I had someone standing beside me.

I hadn't had that in years.

It was the very best gift I ever received. My favorite gift, perhaps.

[droptheious]

[Oh. Well. That sure does tug at his heart a whole damn lot right there. ]

...You're like a little sister to me, too, Snow. And I'm glad to have given you a gift. There'll be more of those for as long as I'm here.

[onebadapple]

Being my big brother is gift enough for me. I've always wanted a big family, you know? And how lucky I am to have found family like you!

[She leaned forward and pressed another kiss to his cheek.]

[droptheious]

[Snow you're gonna kill him. ]

Hah, yeah. I never had any siblings growing up. It was just me and Dad, y'know? But yeah, same. It's- I'm really lucky to have you in my family, Snow.

[A little guilt gnaws in his chest. He knows he can never tell her the truth about her stepmother, but his own past? He can't keep sitting on this much longer. He decides he'll give her some time to get over this particular pain, and then he'll tell her. She deserves it. ]

[onebadapple]

Would you indulge me in something silly?

[She couldn't help it but-]

I would love if we could get something matching. It doesn't have to be anything grand or big, just something only you and I have.

[droptheious]

[But his super cool gungey-goth asthetic!!! :<

But no, that's pretty sweet, and he thinks he can live with that.]

Okay, I think I can manage that. Was there anything you had in mind?

[onebadapple]

Maybe a bracelet! That way it will be protected by your gloves while you work.

[droptheious]

You know, a bracelet could work okay. That sounds...pretty nice.

[onebadapple]

What shall we make it out of? Something that can withstand all your experiments, to be sure, even with protective gloves.

[droptheious]

Oh, in that case, probably a pretty tough metal. Like steel maybe! You can always paint it to make it uh...prettier.

[Though he thinks metals BY THEMSELVES are pretty enough!]

[onebadapple]

What about tungsten steel, then? I can get us some! [How? Well, being an heiress of several giant companies will allow for some easy access to things.]

[droptheious]

Oh wow, that's pretty rare! You can get that?

[Sometimes he does not put two and two together so quickly to make four. ]

[onebadapple]

For you, I absolutely could. Daddy had all sorts of connections and this is right up their alley.

[droptheious]

Huh, well, that's uh- that's cool! Great, we can do that then.

[onebadapple]

I'll have to make some calls, I'll let you know when it comes in.
