"This is stupid" Oga grumbled out as he glared towards a couple that had bumped into him when passing by like all the other hurrying and panicked Christmas shoppers around them. 

"It's sweet" Furuichi argued back with a cute smile, a dreamy shine in his eyes as she kept his steps in tune with the main Christmas music blasting out from the mall speakers instead of all the different speakers blasting out Christmas songs inside their stores. 

"He's a demon!" Oga snapped back in frustration as he stares right at the baby demon in his partners arms. For once, and he has no clue how his best friend and boyfriend was able to do it, dressed in actually babies clothes. He was dressed red shorts and a green and white baseball short sleeve top. No shoes but he'd be carried by one of them all the time so it didn't matter. 

"And he's still a child. He needs memories that will last and this is the perfect one to make for christmas" Furuichi argued back with a small smile as he glanced back to him while leaving Beel to curiously look through all the passing windows of stores on either side of them. Taking care to hold the baby tightly enough so he wouldn't fall if they were bumped into by all the people rushing about around them. 

"He's only learnt about Santa last week. I don't know how you got the class to join in on teaching him before we broke up for the hoilday" Oga mumbled back with a deep frown on his lips and having no clue how the rest of their class got roped into telling Beel stories over Santa. 

"It's my charm" Furuichi  grinned back and fluttering his eyelashes towards him in return. 

"He won't be celebrating another" Oga pointed out as this would most likely be his first and last celebrated Christmas. He didn't think hell would celebrate it much. 

"He will if we raise him up right and stop him from destorying our planet" Furuichi smiled back softly as he lowered his head, looking down to Beel who was in awe in his arms as he took in the decorated mall around them. 

"We?" Oga repeated under his breath, a little surprised over the term used and the warmth that suddenly filled his stomach at the thought. 

"Da!" Beel cheered out, throwing his arms into the air once he caught sight of the small, cardbaord built house in the centre of the mall. Staff dressed as elves to help all the parents and children in line while they wait for their turn to speak with Santa inside.

Fake snow and all christmas decorations to make the small roped off area seem like the actually north pole sparkled and shined, bringing the magic alive for all the children around. Santa door was being opened and closed for each paid visit and every child walked out with a wrapped gift. 

"You'll be able to meet the jolly man soon enough, baby" Furuichi swiftmiy promised with a soft smile and hugging Beel closer in his arms.

Oga stared at the pair, could feel baby Beel's excitment over finally being able to meet the big man and see if he's as powerful and strong as their classmates had mentioned. A man who is in charge of a whole day and so many helpers must have a strong grip after all. And be overly strong and leader like to delivery so many presents in a single night. A powerful and all seeing man who knows if a child has been naughty or nice at all.  

Furuichi smiling just as much and bouncing on the spot as they joined the back of the line to pay Santa a visit. Neither having to pay for the go until the reach near the front of the line, giving parents a chance to escape any sobbing or bad behaving children away during the long wait without their pockets being empty.  

"This is still stupid" Oga huffed back in annoyance as he saw all of this as pointless and a waste of time. He was in serious danger of being executed to death once this all goes tits up and Beel cries up a storm.

"Can you check I still have my phone? I want to make sure we get pictures of his first time meeting with Santa" Furuichi quickly asked with a worried smile as he turned round to face his back towards his partner. He knew he slipped his phone into his jean's pocket instead of his jacket partner like he normally does due to almost dropping it when trying to stop Oga from hitting some happy shoppers that blocked their way. 

"He could easily kill the poor wor-" Oga started to say without much thought and ready to expose Santa being a mere worker for the mall before being silenced by his partner. 

"Don't finish that sentence. He's meeting with Santa" Furuichi  hissed out with a dangerous glare, not wanting to ruin the magic for any children in ear shot. 

"Right, my bad. In that case he might end up killing "Santa" by seeing him as a worthy enemy to fight" Oga whispered back in a small voice as he stepped closer and slipped his partners phone back into  his jacket pocket for him. 

"Or he might end up making a new and happy memory of meeting someone so magical. He's a baby, demon son or not. He deserves some blissful memories in his life" Furuichi replied hopeful as he glanced down to the giggly baby in his arms and knowing everything will work out just fine. 

"I think he's already got some fond memories. With the help of a certain mother hen in the family" Oga commented with a rare smile as he slipped his arm around his partner waist and finally feeling the hoilday spirt of realizing how lucky over what he did have in his life.
