Understanding that these holidays wouldn’t stop, Chopper smiled wider as he prepared himself for the festivities of December. Despite Christmas Eve being his birthday, he had never heard of Christmas before now. This year was certain to bring him tons of smiles. To make up for all the years that he hadn’t known about Christmas, he decided to make some gifts in order to make new friends!
The anthropomorphic reindeer pirate wasn’t wearing his normal attire. Instead, he wore a red and white coat with a santa hat. He didn’t know much about Santa, but he thought the outfit was stylish and cool! Either way, it was certain to help let anyone who found his appearance suspicious know that he was not a threat to their safety. His intentions were benign.
A squeak emitted with each step of his hooves, already alleviating most tension caused by his appearance. Upon spotting an adorable young girl before him, he grinned wider, rushing toward the female. She seemed harmless enough to befriend! He hoped that she would appreciate a random gift from a stranger
Stopping himself in front of the girl, Chopper reached behind his back and pulled out a lovely gift-wrapped box, cheering out to the girl. “Merry Christmas to you~!” His smile and tone hopefully infected her with the same optimism and joy that he felt.
Rukia blinked in confusion. She thought Christmas was a human holiday that came once a year? Perhaps that information was wrong. She’d remember to ask Ichigo later.
For now, she smiled warmly at her friend, accepting the gift. “Thank you, Chopper! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. I was getting worried.”
