Of course. [ scoops him up and brings him inside and to the snowy cabin. ] I don’t understand every bit of the holiday… but it sounds like fun. And I want to do it with you, yes. But if you’d rather not make cookies, then we can do something else. [ peppers him in kisses. ] I just want to spoil you today.

I want to.

[ he's returning each and every kisses, and if he looks like he's a little giddy and way too happy, it's because he is. This already feels special and he barely understands it. But it's a first - a special occasion to spend with someone special ]

We can spend the day doing stuff like that.

Good… I want to too. I bought you a scarf, coat, and some gloves, so we can go out and find a tree to decorate. [ he sets him down once they reach the cabin. ] I made sure to get a ton of groceries too, so we can also make dinner.

[ goes to get him all the clothes he got him. ] Would you like to get the tree first? And then I can warm you up with some hot chocolate.

We can look for the tree first. I guess I'm going to have to change now, since this isn't really weather appropriate.

If you don’t think you’ll get too cold, then you can just put all of this stuff on… but I can also give you something warmer to wear… [ going to grab all the warm clothes for them both, quickly getting into his own and wagging his tail like crazy. he’s incredibly excited. ]

Mmm ... if you promise to keep me warm, then just putting these on should be enough.

Of course. I’ll do everything I can to keep you nice and warm. [ going to give him all the stuff, and then drop a kiss onto his nose. ] If you do find yourself getting a little chilly, then I can always turn you into something furry.

...Mmm. I wouldn't mind being a kitten for you again.

[ he seems to enjoy being spoiled like this, all the attention is practically making him glow ]

Let's pick a good tree then.

You do make the cutest little kitten, Kotik. [ holds a hand out to him, ] Let’s pick the biggest tree we can find. I bought a ton of decorations that we can not only put on the tree, but also put all around the house. [ starts heading outside into the snow. thankfully it’s not too chilly, but it IS snowing. ] Have you ever done any snow activities? Like building a snowman or… maybe ice skating again?

No.

[ he didn't exactly have the chance to do something so silly when he was in Snezhnaya - it was all business, after all. ]

You're going to have to show me.

I will. [ leads him along the snowy hills and heads into the small forest that surrounds the place. he moves his tails around him to keep him warm. ] Do you see any one that looks good?

[ he's actually putting effort in this, trying to look for a tree that would be big enough to decorate ]

How about that one?

[ pointing at ]

It looks pretty.

Looks perfect. [ he’s going to move away from Scara and start swinging at the tree. ] Be careful… [ chop chop chop. ] I don’t want this to fall on you, darling.

[ he'll pull back so Childe can do that without worry ]

I could probably handle it just fine, you know.

...maybe, but I don't want to worry about you getting smushed on Christmas.

Oh? But I do plan on getting smushed. By you.

[ childe misses striking the tree and he stammers, stumbling forward and nearly falling into the snow. ] P- Pitcka! [ he looks back at him, face flushed a deep dark red. ] Y- Yeah, you want me to smush you? eHeh.

Oh? Did that catch your attention. But first, we need to decorate and take care of the cookies.

...you're going to make it hard to focus on that sort of thing if you keep this up. [ goes back to chopping - the tree falling down a few moments later. ] You ready to head back or did you want to build a snowman together? Or go ice skating?

I want to do both. First we should do the snowman, then we can ice skate. And if I get tired, you're carrying me back.

[ reaches for his hand and brings him over to a particularly snowy area and kneels down, beginning to pack a snowball. ] Have you ever built a snowman before, Pitcka?

[ following suit, kneeling next to him and imitating his movements ]

No. When I was in Snezhnaya it was usually just Fatui business, and if I wasn't on Dottore's table, then I'd be in the Abyss.

...you never told me you had been to the abyss. [ he stills, moving closer and draping his tails over him. ] I'm sorry they made you go down there. Honestly, I'm surprised Dottore didn't make me go... [ more often. ]

Probably because I was there instead.

[ he's going to wrap his arms around him as well ]

For a long long time my routine was just go to the abyss, get ripped apart, get put back together by Dottore. Rinse and repeat. But I always survived.

... [ frowning!!! ] I can't stand him. If I knew that you were getting torn apart, then... I could have gone in your place a couple of times. [ he shifts, turning toward him to take him into a proper hug. ] I hate knowing that you suffered so much... but [ he takes a deep breath. ] no more. I'm not letting that ever happen again. If anybody tries to hurt you, then I'm going to eviscerate them.
