             Yet again, you neglected proper clothes and chose to stay in your pajamas. After realizing that you were ready for another cup of hot chocolate, you began to head toward the kitchen. Coincidentally, you met Ciel along the way. 

   After sneakily wrapping your arms around his shoulder and momentarily startling him, you wished him a Merry Christmas. 

     "Merry Christmas." He repeated. 

    "Is there anything you wanna do today in specific, Ciel?" You asked. He shook his head. 

    "What's there even to do on Christmas day?" He had a point. All of the shops and stores would be closed; of course, you weren't exactly expecting to leave the manor anyway. 'Reading again' it is. 

    Getting to the staircase, an unexpected sight reached your eyes. From the top of the stairs, you could clearly see your Christmas tree... and the tree had presents underneath it. 3. 

   Immediately running down to the tree with child-like enthusiasm, you abandoned a confused Ciel at the top of the staircase. 

   Fortunately, Ciel was observant and smart, so he quickly caught on. 

    "(Y/N), didn't you say no presents this year, earlier?" Ciel scolded.  

    "What? These weren't from me!" Looking for a possible tag on any of the gifts, you noticed that only the 'To' was filled out; the 'From' had been blank. 

    "My lady," Upon examining whom the presents were meant for, Sebastian called to you from your side. Having already predicted what you would've wanted when you woke up, he had prepared a fresh cup of cocoa of which was in his hand. 

      Moments later, the servants wandered into the room supposedly wondering about the 'ruckus'. "We got presents!" You cheered. 

  Grabbing the present of which was meant for you, you held it to your torso before handing out the rest of the presents, "Ciel..." You muttered, handing him his gift, "and... Sebastian!" 

       "Ooh~ What'dya get Lady (Y/N)?" Mey-Rin asked. 

    Shrugging, you began to unwrap your gift, revealing a rectangular box. Opening it delicately, you found a gorgeous necklace awaiting you. "It's beautiful...!" You gasped, taking it out.

   Ciel seemed to be curious about his gift for he began to open it. It seemed to be the same shape and size as your own, but it instead, carried a pen. It was beautiful and bedazzled causing Ciel to look at it peculiarly. 

      "Merry Christmas~!" Finny screamed. It had appeared as if he'd been holding in those exact words for days. Looking toward the trio, they all seemed to be very proud of themselves. 

    "You all?" You asked, they nodded. "You got us presents!?" 

     "And, where exactly did you get the money for such a thing?" Ciel asked. 

    Bard began laughing, "A relative of mine usually gives me a card with a generous amount of money inside on Christmas! Mey-Rin, Finny, and I thought it'd be a good thought to get you and Lady (Y/N) a gift this year to show our appreciation." 

   Admiring your necklace further, you began to hear extensive crinkling. Looking behind you, you caught sight of Sebastian unwrapping his present. The box was absent this time, as all that was within the paper had been a small, pretty brioche. 

    "Oh! Pluto wanted to get something for Sebastian!" Mey-Rin cheered. "I don't know where he got it from, but he showed up with it when we were wrapping them all!" 

        Quickly snatching the brioche from Sebastian's hand, Ciel glared at him, "That's mine." Pluto must've got into Ciel's study. 

      "Terribly sorry, young master." 

      His glare slowly fading as he tucked the brioche into his shirt, somehow finding a way to keep it inside without having it fall out. 

     Although Ciel didn't seem to be thrilled with his gift on Christmas, a few days later, you actually caught him using it while working. 

          You found him using it a lot, usually, as long as the servants weren't near.
