Financier cookie, the bodyguard of the consul Clotted Cream cookie, a strong paladin who rarely shows her soft side.
Seaweed cookie, the voluntary grave digger from the lower city who is known for her compassion, although she shows it in a strange way.
The young paladin ran to the meeting spot that she had arranged and Seaweed was already waiting there.
She turned around and smiled a little bit
-"Oh it's you.-
-Yeah, how can I miss spending time with you on the holidays !- Financier said, panting a little bit
-That's nice of you, this is a beautiful winter day.- She smiled a little bit more.
-I can't believe the year is coming to an end, I didn't even think I was going to survive this long- Her face dropped a little bit.
Sensing the mood shift and her girlfriend 's, Seaweed Cookie tried to lighten up a bit
-Yeah, but you did, so let's celebrate. -I have plans for us."-
–
-"Oh, what are those ?- she said with a little bit of curiosity on her voice
-Well, first Oyster has a holiday party that both of us are invited to"-. Financier would rather stay home, but she wanted to make this special since it was their first holiday party together.
-"Oh."- Seaweed Cookie stood there, thinking about it without noise. Everybody looked at her, and with social pressure manifesting she was clearly uncomfortable.
Financier noticed The shift in her girlfriend's mood.
-"Oh you don't like parties? It's okay, I don't like those either. I just go there because I am Clotted Cream's bodyguard.-
-Oh really it doesn't matter, I can tolerate it."- Said Seaweed. She did not want to ruin her girlfriend's plans.
-"No no I have a better idea, we can just chill in the custard mansion. It will be empty since everybody is at the party.- She smiled, she was so going to make this special.
Oh yeah and we could eat all the leftovers. It would be our little celebration…" She smiled big.
Seaweed contemplated. -"..Sounds like a good idea, but I don't want to ruin your plans.-
-Don't worry, I don't care as long as you're happy."-
That sentence made her blush, not a lot of cookies have done something like that for her. She pushed out her hand -"Let's go."-
They went through the back door of the mansion to avoid the guards, but half of them already knew that the semi-boss was dating someone from the lower city, but they wanted some peace and quiet. Financier continued holding her lover's hand as they both got inside of her room.
-"Wow it's very big,- mumbled Seaweed, kind of intimidated by everything and kind of having doubts, Are you sure that notorious old man isn't going to fire you on the spot if he knew that I was here ?-
-No, because I'm not employed by him I'm employed by his son and he isn't going to know, and it's probably not gonna go well for him due to the way he treated his nephew like s***.- She said coldly
Seaweed looked at her girlfriend and whispered to herself
-Wow, upper city people are a brutal.- She sat down on a little window sill couches
-"So what are we going to do now ?-
Financier also sat down.
-Well, there's probably a lot of food in the fridge and multiple board games and a storage room. Does that sound like the way you want to spend your new years eve ?-
-Yes absolutely."- Seaweed really wanted to taste all the amazing food that the higher city has, and she really is a master at uno !
-"Okay then."- Financier walked downstairs, and got all of the stuff. -"This is going to be a fun night. Also, would you like to change into something more comfortable ?
I actually I bought a few stuff that will fit your style-
-Yeah I guess but I'm perfectly fine with staying in my usual clothes, but I will take the offer-
After both of them got into something more comfortable, they sat down to play. Financier was dominating with her military training, but Seaweed ended up winning with her street smarts. They both had a lot of fun, stuffing their face and playing their turns and as the night came, they drifted off the sleep next to each other, holding hands until they were woken up by a sudden noise.
-"Wait, what's happening ?- said Financier as she turned her back to the window and saw the fireworks
-Wow they look beautiful, I've never seen them this close, mumbled Seaweed as she was getting out of her grogginess.
They mean it's the new years, I'm so happy that I get to enter this new year with you.-
-Same."- whispered Financier as she slowly got closer until their lips met.
This was the best New Year's that both of them ever had.
