It was time again. Everybody started decorating their houses and the taverns and restaurants had Christmas menus. The majority of items in the stores were Christmas themed and people had started singing Christmas carols. It was time for you to also buy a Christmas tree for your home, as every year. The only difference this time was that you have your boyfriend with you, walking next to you holding your hand as you make your way over the bridge to the outside of the city, where the shop and the trees were set up. Since a couple weeks after the two of you got together, Aether had been living in your house whenever he was in Mondstadt, enabling him to spend all of his time with you. According to him, it was only fair that he'd help with everything he could. When you mentioned in one of your letters that everything was being decorated und the tree shop was open, you thought he'd be in Mondstadt for Christmas as he promised, or a couple days before, so he could decorate it with you. What surprised you was him infront of your house a few days later. He probably came bach from Liyue, where he was called to by Mr. Zhongli, as soon as he got your letter. You just hoped that Mr. Zhongli would forgive you for stealing his helper.

But that leads you to your current situation, having, by now, arrived at the shop. The only thing left to do was pick out the perfect tree. You were greeted by Master Diluc, who, very reluctantly, worked with the Knights of Favonius on this project. He beckons a nearby knight to lead you around and show a couple of trees, asking for your opinions.

In the end, all of the trees were good but you found a perfect one. It was fairly small, had a lot of branches and would fit perfectly in your living room. You just had to get it back. Aether had suggested carrying it back, but you didn't want him to break his back. Luckily, the knight mentioned that there were sleighs that you could pull the tree with you.

Doing just that you brought the tree back to your house and while Aether put it up, you prepared some hot chocolate for the two of you. You sat on the sofa and cuddled close, enjoying your drink and the others presence. You could still decorate the tree in a few days.

Hope you enjoyed!
