December 1st, 2024
Symphony stood before an apartment door with his foot tapping impatiently. He had three plastic bags worth of stuff in one of his hands while the other was placed on his hip.
“You know staring at the door aggressively won’t make them come faster.” Red commented pointedly.
“Shut the fuck up.” Symphony mumbled back. Violet stared up at him with a questioning look.
Before Violet could say anything however the door swung open.
“HAPPY 1ST BITCH!” Sparrow shouted as they opened the door and threw a Christmas hat at Symphony’s face. It landed on the floor as he glared at the other villain.
“BE QUIET OVER THERE!” Someone yelled over the walls.
“SORRY!” Sparrow shouted back, sounding embarrassed.
Symphony wordlessly lifted up the bags and Sparrow’s eyes glowed.
“Brought decorations loser.”
———
“You throw another ornament at me and I’ll fucking spit on you.” Symphony declared looking behind at both Sparrow and Violet who stood next to the Christmas tree in the corner. Violet dropped the ornament she was holding in her middle right hand, smiling innocently.
“It was Sparrow!” Violet immediately pointed to them while Sparrow sputtered.
Symphony narrowed his eye and simply stated “you're both in the splash zone so…”
“You're not gonna spray anyone.” Red said while crossing her arms. Symphony looked over.
“YoUrE nOt GoNnA sPrAy AnYoNe.” He mocked.
“Mature.”
Symphony smirked.
“You should listen to your elders Pine.” Sparrow picked up another ornament to put on the tree.
“Kay why ess.”
“You first.”
They had a mini staring contest before Symphony looked away when he heard rustling.
“Violet what are you doing?” He turned to the youngest who seemed to have a rectangular shaped device in her middle hands.
“What does it look like? I’m getting this party started!” Violet said it like it was obvious.
Upon further expectation the device looked to be a speaker.
“I’m going to get kicked out.” Sparrow looked at the device with mild horror.
“It’ll be fine.” Violet waved off the elders' concern.
Sparrow looked over at Symphony for help who was trying to detangle a pile of lights. He looked up and just gave the other villain a look that screams ‘just let her do this’.
Sparrow sighs “If you get me kicked out I’m selling everything you own.”
Violet just smiled widely.
———
Violet was still trying to figure out how to work the bluetooth speaker while cursing quietly.
“FINALLY!” Violet screamed with excitement.
“Oh wow it only took you five years” Symphony said without turning around still trying to string lights across the wall but Violet could tell he was rolling his eye.
“Shut the fuck up you probably dont even know how to turn on a computer.” Violet bit back angrily.
Sparrow was trying to stifle their laughter.
“Whatever you say.” Symphony replied letting the younger win that argument.
Violet let out a pleased sound and continued setting up the music.
She found the song she wanted to play quickly enough and turned the volume up as high as she dared.
The sound of bells filled the apartment and both Symphony and Sparrow perked up, having recognized it instantly.
‘Ahhhhhhhhhhh ’
“Oh no .” Symphony had the look of horror on his face.
Sparrow on the other hand looked very excited.
“I don’t want a lot for Christmas~” Violet sang while holding a tube of wrapping paper.
“I swear to fucking god man…” Symphony looked annoyed but they all knew he was secretly enjoying it.
“There’s just one thing I need!” Sparrow continued looking Violet in her two main eyes.
“I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree!” Violet stepped closer to Sparrow.
“I just want you for my own more than you could ever know.” Sparrow took a step as well.
“Make my wish come trueeeee~” Sparrow grabbed onto the wrapping paper mimicking a microphone as well.
“All I want for Christmas. . . Is. . .”
“YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!” They both screamed at the top of their lungs.
“Ughhhhhhhhh” Symphony crossed his arms but had a small smile on his face.
Red just laughed next to him.
“I DON’T WANT A LOT FOR CHRISTMAS!” They were both bouncing up and down at this point smiling wide.
“THERE IS JUST ONE THING I NEED!”
Sparrow was do to get a noise complaint. But at that moment none of them cared.
“AND IIIIIIIIIII DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PRESENTS!” Sparrow somehow managed to completely steal the wrapping paper and held it in the air while they screamed the lyrics at it.
“UNDERNEATH THE CHRISTMAS TREE” Sparrow brought it back down and Violet gripped back on it with her top and middle arms.
“I DON'T NEED TO HANG MY STOCKING THERE UPON THE FIREPLACE!” Both of them were staring at each other inches from the other's face with the wrapping paper in the middle.
“SANTA WON'T MAKE ME HAPPY WITH A TOY ON CHRISTMAS DAY!” Symphony completely abandoned his task at putting lights up and was just leaning against the wall watching the other two villains scream their lungs out.
“I JUST WANT YOU FOR MY OWN MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW!” Red was smiling widely at the antics, absolutely enjoying herself.
“MAKE MY WISH COME TRUE!” Violet turned to Symphony motioning for him to come towards them with her middle left hand while gripping the wrapping paper with her top and middle right hands.
“ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!” Symphony shook her head smiling slightly while mouthing ‘no’.
“IS YOU BABBYYYYYY!” Violet took Symphony’s hand anyway, dragging her over to where Sparrow is. He let himself be dragged letting out a small laugh.
“OH I WON'T ASK FOR MUCH THIS CHRISTMAS!” Sparrow grabbed Symphony’s hands and started dancing with her still smiling like a maniac. Violet took the makeshift microphone and held it in all her arms.
“AH haha Sparrow stop!” Symphony laughed in surprise as they spun him which was a ridiculous sight to see as Symphony is taller than Sparrow.
“I WON'T EVEN WISH FOR SNOW!” This feeling was euphoric.
“I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP ON WAITING UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE” As Symphony danced it was like he was floating on a cloud. He has never felt this. . . light before.
“I WON'T MAKE A LIST AND SEND IT TO THE NORTH POLE FOR SAINT NICK!” Red was watching from the sidelines. She watched the people she’ve grown close to laugh and sing and dance and felt a smile tug on her face. It was beautiful in every sense of the word.
“I WON'T EVEN STAY AWAKE TO HEAR THOSE MAGIC REINDEER CLICK!” Violet's throat hurts from screaming lyrics but she could care less. She was smiling so wide her face hurt but she could care less. Violet doesn't have a single care in the world right now and she feels amazing.
“CAUSE I JUST WANT YOU HERE TONIGHT!” Sparrow was having the time of their life. It felt like the world was a few shades brighter. It was a wonderful feeling and Sparrow wishes it never ends. They deserve it. All of them do.
“HOLDING ONTO ME SO TIGHT!” It was like the world stopped and the only thing that mattered in that moment was the four people in this tiny apartment.
“WHAT MORE CAN I DO?” Symphony still wasn’t used to so much emotion yet at this moment it felt so nice . This feeling is so good it's addicting. The villain would give up everything just to permanently feel like this.
“OH BABY ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS-” Both Violet and Sparrow somehow got 20% louder and were screaming at the top of their lungs at this point. They will definitely not be able to speak tomorrow.
“Is. . . YOUUUUUUU BABBBBBYYYYYYYY!” Sparrow held their fist up in the air to their face mimicking a microphone and fell backwards into Symphony’s arms. Symphony, not at all prepared, somehow managed to catch Sparrow. From the sudden weight Symphony ended up dropping the other villain.
“AGHHH!” Sparrow fell to the ground with a thud.
Violet paused the music as fast as she could when she heard screaming.
“Youre a fucking dumbass.” Symphony said while he squatted down to Sparrows eye level.
“Kys.” Symphony just simply raised an eyebrow at the reply.
“TURN THE FUCKING SONG BACK ON!” Sparrow screamed looking over at Violet.
“Eye eye!” Violet saluted.
Symphony turned back to Sparrow standing back to his full height and held his hand out which Sparrow immediately grabbed and Symphony halted them up.
“Ready for round two?” Symphony asked, spreading his arms out in a dance-like position.
Sparrow smirked at her and grabbed his hands.
As the music started again they danced. Two friends who've been through hell and back. Finally able to spend a proper Christmas together.
They spent the rest of the day hanging up decorations and singing songs well into the night. And when they were done they brought out blankets and put on a movie.
It was probably one of the best days Symphony ever had.
