Dust finds a gift in his room and he knows exactly who made that gift

This chapter is here a bit earlier cause I won't be able to post it tomorrow or after tomorrow, I know that it's a bit too early to say this but happy holidays-

Dust comes back into his room and rises a brow. There is a present on his bed but it's not his birthday even if it would be he doesn't celebrate it. He accidentally tears the black wrapping paper despite trying to not do that.

He sighs and opens it. Inside are sweets and a new hoodie, it's black, good quality and it's warm with fluff inside. Dust rises a brow and leaves it on the bed for now. It's not even written on the gift from who it is but he suspects who it might be. Not everyone would be able to wrap a present like that.

He walks in front of Nightmares room and knocks on the door once and then twice. There is a sound of rustling before Nightmare opens the door with a tentacle. He stands in the door trying to stop Dust's view so that he won't see what's inside the room.

The mortal sees anyway, there is the same wrapping paper from before. Dust looks at the demon lord. "Why did you give me a gift?"

"It's Christmas. You might not celebrate it but you do deserve a gift and so does the rest." Nightmare moves out of the way and Dust walks into the room.

 There is a pile of sweets and a few boxes, one with cooking pots, and an axe next to it. One with a power bank and a pokemon game. What catches Dusts attention is an entire medical kit along with a Katana next to it.

There is a mess of papers on the table. Nightmare hands him a small speaker and Dust blinks. "I forgot to put this into your gift."

The mortal looks at it and smiles. He wanted one like that for a long time now. He hugs the demon lord tightly."Thank you. How did you get it?"

Nightmare huffs and hugs back. "I would do even the impossible for you all. You should know it by now."

The mortal pulls away and the demon lord let's go as well. "Do you need help?"

The demon looks at the presents before looking at the paperwork on the desk. He looks at Dust and nods. "Yes."

The two work through the night, doing the overdue paperwork, packing the presents and then putting them in everyone's rooms without waking them up. But it's worth it in the morning.

Horror is happy when he gets the weapon and even more happy when he sees the pots, in the evening he makes a delicious dinner with the help of them.

Cross gets the power bank and the pokemon game. He spends hours playing to the point that the others have to drag him for dinner.

Killer gets the katana, it's something that would be better for Cross but he tests it and sharpens it before putting it into his collection. The medical kit is very useful tho.

Nightmare did not make a gift for himself but the gang did make him one. It's a picture of them all along with a basket with shampoos, sweets, candles and slippers that say 'best boss'.

There is one more gift for Nightmare that someone left in front of the castle after ringing the doorbell. Inside is a golden crown along with a picture of two young angel skeletons sitting under a tree with golden fruits.
