Levi ran to the hospital. He ran right up to the person at the desk. "May I see a woman with the last name of Jaeger?"
"Why do you want to see my mom?" Asked a voice.
Levi turned around to see Eren looking as tired as ever.
"I actually came here looking for you," he said. "So long story short, I had was visited by a loser, and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. So I went on this crazy journey of my life and I just wanted to say sorr-" Levi stopped.
"You wanted to say?" Eren stood there confused.
"So...rry... for what I said yesterday - Gah Damn, that was hard," Levi panted.
"It would be hard if you have never said sorry before," Eren smiled. "I forgive you. Why don't you come over to my place tonight for a Christmas party?"
"Sounds cool," Levi said.
"Here I'll text you my address," Eren took out his phone. "I just need your number."

"So we're just going to some freshmen's Christmas party?" Nile asked. "You guys are lamer than I thought."
"If we're lame, I'd hate to know what you are," Levi replied.
"Awesome," Nile bragged.
"Keep telling yourself that," Erwin muttered.
Levi and his friends walked up to a house that was well decorated for the season. It was a nice big house with a balcony above their heads. He rang the doorbell.
Seconds later, Eren opened the door. "Oh hey, come in." He led them to the living room. "I hope you don't mind them joining us, I invited them."
All of Eren's friends looked at each other.
Armin shrugged, "Why not? It's Christmas!"
"Yahoo!" Hanji exclaimed. "Let's get this party started."
"Hey, who wants to see if they can beat the ultimate Mario Kart master?" Jean stood up.
"Oh, you're on," Gunther and Erd said at the same time while running to the TV.
"I want to play too!" Nile stated as he followed them.
Soon, everyone was gathered around the TV watching Jean beat every single person who challenged him. Levi, however, noticed that Eren wasn't with everyone else. So, he thought he would look for him.
Levi looked in the kitchen, the office, he knocked on the bathroom doors. He even tried the basement, but that was locked.
So, Levi walked upstairs. He finally found Eren on the balcony. Levi opened the doors and joined him.
"So why aren't you with the others?" Levi asked.
"I just needed a breather," Eren stated.
There was a silence.
"How did you know my mother?" Eren asked.
"I didn't," Levi answered. "It was all part of a crazy thing that happened."
"The ghosts?" Eren asked. Levi nodded as a reply.
"We should go downstairs now," Eren said. "We're opening presents. If I had known you guys were coming, I would have got something, but..."
"It's all good," Levi shrugged. "This is a good enough Christmas gift."
Eren smiled and they went down stairs.
"Time for the presents!" Eren shouted.
"Presents? Presents!" All the freshmen scramble to the Christmas tree.
"Psh, Freshmen," Nile crossed his arms.
"You know they are only one year below us, right?" Erwin asked.
Nile stood there, unmoving, with that stupid grin on his face.
"Okay this is from us to you, Armin," Eren and Mikasa held out a gift.
He viciously tore open the wrapping and opened the box. A bright smile stretched across his face.
The same happened to everyone else who opened their present. They would hold it up and admire it.
Ymir opened her present. "Christa how did you know?!"
"I was with you when we walked past the section with sex toys and you were all 'I want that," Christa crossed her arms.
"Oh Christa," Ymir leaned on Christa's shoulder. "I love this girl!"
Jean opened his present to reveal a scrapbook that Marco put together. He flipped through the pages to see pictures from since they were kids until then.
"Marco, I... It's amazing," Jean said. "Thanks buddy." They hugged and everyone said "Aww" simultaneously.

"Hey Connie," Sasha said. "I got you something. Open it."
Connie opened the present, and his face froze. "You got me a display case for my cards."
"Don't you love it?" Sasha asked.
"Yeah," Connie said. "It's just that I sold my baseball cards to a collector to afford your present."
"What?" Sasha said in shock. "Those cards were extremely rare."
"Oh well, open your present," Connie said.
Sasha did, and she started laughing the instant she saw what was inside.
In the box was a set of beautiful arrows, crafted with an shiny tip and a soft, feathered tail.
"What's wrong?" Connie asked.
Sasha giggled. "I sold my bow to get you your present."
"But that bow was your grandfather's," Connie said.
"So were your cards," Sasha laughed. "Aren't we just one stupid couple."
They continued laughing together.

Off to the side, Bertolt stood alone waiting for Reiner to come back from the bathroom. "Annie, do you think he's okay?"
"Yeah," Annie admired her bracelet she got. "He's probably taking a shit."
Suddenly, everyone cleared from the center of the living room and Reiner stood there in a tux with a ukelele.
He cleared his throat and began singing, which surprisingly, didn't sound atrocious.
"Hey, Bertolt.
This is a cheesy song for you,
I didn't know what else to do
for Christmas.
We been friends for a while now
And I tried to figure out how
To say this.
Every time I'm with you,
You make my heart sing
I'm just so fucking gay
For you adorable little thing."
"GAY!" Ymir shouted.
"So are you, so shut up!" Reiner shouted back. He cleared his throat again.
"So Bertolt
I hope you see
How much you mean to meeeeeeee~
So Bertolt,
Will you go out with me?" He strummed the last cord.
Everyone could tell Bertolt was moved by it.
He ran up to Reiner and hugged him. "Yes, you big gay loser! I will go out with you!"
Everyone cheered and and threw the wrapping paper in the air.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Hanji shouted as she threw a cupcake at Levi.
"Wait, are you Jesus?" Jean asked.
"No!" Levi stated. Everyone got a nice laugh out of that.
"Merry Christmas!" Eren shouted.
"Merry Christmas!" Everyone cheered back.

And so with that,
Our story reaches the end.
But of course,
We will see each other again.
The year is ending,
But no need to rush.
I wish you all,
A Merry Fucking Christmas.
(Or whatever you celebrate this time of year)
