The noise of several rambunctious children and the sound of Christmas music filled the mall as you groaned. The aches inside of your head wouldn't be able to be soothed by a simple rubbing of the temples. Furthermore, if another little brat decided to look up your unreasonably short dress you were going to scream. 

Another cookie was shoved into your mouth out of pure frustration as you chewed. The half-hour break you got would soon be over and then it was back to eager little kids pleading for you to take them to your boyfriend's lap. 

"Hello, my angry little elf," You rolled your eyes at your boyfriend's greeting. The red suit he wore of which matched a certain idol among children fit him well. Somehow, he managed to score the job of Santa Claus for the holidays and you were his little elf. 

More so, you both needed the community service hours and these were the only jobs you could find last minute. 

"Eren, I will bite your fucking finger off and swallow it whole. I'm sick of these kids." 

"First, you love my fingers," Eren gave a small smirk as he picked up a cookie to inspect it, "Secondly, I'm sick of this job as well. Luckily, the mall is almost closed so we can go home but I have had to change my damn pants three times." 

You chuckled and began to tease the man. Something you enjoyed to his dismay as he quickly got annoyed. 

"Oh, did you really get scared of so many kids?! The great E-"

"I got pissed on." 

"Oh," You mumbled awkwardly as Eren gave you a look which had you stuffing another cookie into your mouth to avoid meeting his gaze upon you. 

"Come on, [Name]," Eren huffed dragging you by your hand and out of the break room to your displeasure.

"Happy Holidays! Who's next?" You feigned glee as you stood next to Eren who yawned and straightened himself up for the next child. This was a boy with a raven-colored black undercut followed by a smiling girl with eyes that matched Eren's and red hair and another boy with pale brown hair and grey eyes. The three walked hand-in-hand up to you. 

"We gotta talk to you to meet Santa right?" The boy with the undercut pointed out. He didn't seem to like being in the center of the other two children and have to hold their hands. You looked at Eren who just observed you and discreetly adjusted the white beard he wore. The shirt he wore was stuffed with about three pillows. The mall's owner had to make due with what was offered. 

"Yes! If your parents want to take pictures or if you want to get some cookies, then you do!" You smiled and bent down at the knees to peer at the three children. The boy with brownish hair stared hungrily at the cookies behind you that some blonde girl came to refill every once in a while. The girl, on the other hand, eagerly looked at your boyfriend before she turned her attention towards you. 

"I like your outfit." She complimented you as you looked over yourself. You wore a bright green dress that came to your mid-thigh, a pair of striped red and white stockings, and a long-sleeved red shirt underneath the dress. Your red and green shoes had little points on them, of which ended in a pair of shiny bells. You wore a curved hat which had a single bell of its own. It was a pristine white and had mistletoe on its side. 

"So, where are y-" You stopped yourself as you read the tags they each wore. It each had their name on it followed by: 'Belongs to the Underground Orphanage of Maria.'

You remembered how awful the orphanage was from a report you had to do in the ninth grade. Two years passed and you still worried for the children's welfare. 

"Where are our whats?" The girl named Isabel looked up at you with wide, curious eyes. 

"N-Nothing, Isabel," You replied using her name for yourself, "Why don't you, Levi, and Farlan go get some cookies and tell Santa what you want for Christmas?" You smiled broadly as you turned around to the tray filled with cookies. You selected two cookies for each of them, more than you were supposed to, and gave it to them in a napkin. 

Isabel thanked you gleefully as she took a bite of a sugar cookie before hopping into Eren's lap as she began babbling about what she wanted for Christmas. Your heart ached as her wishes probably wouldn't be fulfilled.

Farlan quickly devoured his cookies as he hopped up to sit on Eren's other leg. Levi stood next to you as he carefully ate his cookie to avoid getting crumbs everywhere. His black jeans and white shirt made you question how any child could be so neat. 

"Levi, don't you want to sit with Santa?" You smiled gently at the boy. 

"Santa isn't real." 

"W-Well, he's right there." 

"There's no way for him to be able to exist. I also saw you two making out against a car." 

Your face paled, "Uh, we weren't dressed in our costumes yet and we weren't making out." 

"I am about ninety-five percent sure you screwed in the back seat." 

"Five percent means you're wrong which you are." You sneered at the boy who just glared in response, "Isn't there anything you want, even if Santa isn't real?" 

Levi pondered momentarily before nodding, "Yeah." 

"Well even if you don't believe in Santa, go tell Eren what you want." You whispered to him. He shrugged and climbed on top of Eren's lap and you distinctly saw the look of pain on Eren's face as Levi's knee hit his crotch. 

"What do you want?" Eren strained out as Levi whispered into his ear. A look of surprise came upon his face before he nodded and smiled. 

The three children climbed down off of Eren. Isabel came over and hugged your legs as you smiled and crouched down to hug her back. You handed her and the boys another cookie as you waved them away. 

That was before Farlan and Levi lifted up your dress making you blush and growl at them as the laughter of several children waiting in line grew louder as you stuffed a cookie into your mouth. 

"'Tis the season, eh?" Eren laughed loudly as you rubbed your temples and shot him a deathly glare. 

The small squeak of fear boosted your ego immensely as you smirked to yourself and fixed your dress.

"This is the place?" Eren asked as he held a sack of toys in his hand. You looked at the map on your phone and sure enough, this was the place. 

You nodded and exchanged a cautious look. The orphanage was in a bad part of town to begin with and looked a little shabby from the outside. The building had faded, bright colors consisting of what was pink, blue, yellow, and a little bit of green. 

You walked on the creaking steps as Eren followed you. You opened the door to find a group of kids huddled around in a small group. 

Nothing could describe the amount of joy you felt as children's eyes widened as they saw Eren in his costume. 

"Santa!" They screeched and ran over to Eren with giant smiles. The kids all looked a bit underfed and a little unclean. 

"Hello, kids!" Eren announced happily, "Who wants presents?" 

The kids bounded up to him excitedly as he laughed deeply. The joyful glint in his eyes caused butterflies to erupt in your stomach. The blonde worker was already notified of your presence and surveyed you with a grin. 

You looked around the room as you saw three familiar kids looking at you in your elf costume. You clutched the small bag you held as you strode over to the trio sitting in a corner. 

"Hey, Levi," Farlan muttered to the boy in question who turned around. 

"Oh, you again," Isabel smirked before turning to Levi, "Big brother, didn't that sound cool?! Like out of a movie or something right?" 

"Idiot," Isabel pouted at the word before Levi turned to you, "What do you have there?" 

He pointed to the bag you held as you kneel next to the three. 

"Some presents," You smirked. The ones Eren carried were donations you had collected over the two weeks since you last saw the kids and with Christmas being in a few days, you finally were able to purchase gifts for these three especially. 

You pulled three wrapped boxes out of the bag. One was red with a golden bow, another blue with a green bow, and the last black with a white bow. 

The three peered at the gifts before grabbing the one with their name on it. Isabel opened her gift carelessly as a broad grin appeared on her face. 

She pulled out a white bear with red roses on it about the size of your hand. Isabel marveled at the gift before her as she hugged you tightly. 

"Glad you like it, Isabel. If not, all these scars would be for nothing," You grinned and showed her your bandaged fingers. The girl gasped and inspected them, "So cool..."

Farlan then proceeded to carefully open his gift as his eyebrows raised in delight, "A Nerf gun...?" 

"Eren chose that one," You explained as a small smile appeared on his face. 

"Thanks." 

Levi stared at you as Eren came to crouch down next to you, "How's my little elf doing?" 

"Just fine, Santa!" Isabel grinned as Farlan played with his toy. 

"Open your present, bud, you'll like it," Eren grinned cockily as Levi slowly opened his present. His eyes widened slightly as he pulled out the dark green jacket with wings on the back. 

"It's from a show," Eren explained as Levi slipped it on. It was a bit big so he could wear it for a few more years. The raven-haired boy stood up to model it as his two friends clapped merrily. 

"Thanks," Levi muttered quietly as Eren and you smiled. 

Then, in what only could be described as a Christmas miracle, Levi hugged both you and Eren. You both were momentarily surprised before you hugged him back. Another pair of arms wrapped around you and your boyfriend as you chuckled. 

"Merry Christmas, guys." Eren chuckled as the two of you stood up. Eren pecked your cheek making you blush wildly. He detached the mistletoe from your hat and waved it in the air. He kissed you quickly and chuckled at your reddened face. 

"Oh! Oh! Farlan, we're under the mistletoe!" 

"W-What? I'm not kissing you!"

"Fine, I'll kiss you!" 

Isabel placed a firm kiss onto Farlan's cheek making him blush and squirm uncomfortably under Levi's questioning gaze. 

"Happy birthday, Levi," You whispered to the boy and handed him a packet of wet wipes from your bag. 

"Thanks, Miss," Levi took the packet and opened it. He immediately removed a wet wipe and wiped Farlan's cheek where Isabel had kissed him. 

"Big brother!" 

"You're filthy." 

Eren chuckled and reattached the mistletoe onto your hat, "Come on, my little elf. We have to go back to Santa's work shop because I'm pretty sure you're on the naughty list. Obviously, you need to do something to get back onto the nice, huh?" 

"That was so cheesy, I might cry." You groaned and chuckled before you gave a final farewell to the children and walked back outside. It had gotten considerably colder and you rubbed your arms. You had to walk back home as neither of you had enough gas to take your car. 

Eren removed the three pillows he wore and the beard before he wrapped his coat around you. He pecked your lips and scooped up the items he had let fall. 

"Merry Christmas, my l-" 

"Santa, no!" 

"I told you brats Santa wasn't real."
