The Gift Giver - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Napoleon loved Christmas, while Illya observed the season with a reserve characteristic of the sometimes somber Russian.  People didn’t expect Kuryakin to join in on Christmas, but that is what he did.

Illya hummed Christmas carols, handed out cards and even bought a few gifts for those few who had befriended the young Soviet agent.  It turned out he had excellent taste, perhaps from his time in Paris.

Napoleon found it slightly unsettling, especially when Illya started going out on dates with the appreciative young ladies.

“Buying your dates, tovarisch?”
“I embody my gifts, naturally.”
“Really…?”
“Of course.”
“Clever Russian.”
