CHAPTER 9

Nachielus

It had been a lovely day with Beck, and Nach was amazed at how perfect his elf really was. Beck brought smiles and joy to everyone he talked to, and Nach loved seeing him spread happiness to all his acquaintances. It seemed like everyone who knew Beck loved him; Nach even had a moment or two of uncharacteristic possessiveness flare up, but Beck seemed oblivious to any flirting, holding Nach’s hand and shooting him grins and winks all day.

Nach might have possibly helped out a bit in spreading some joy, too.

But really, could he be blamed? He was an angel of joy and fulfillment. It was his job to bring people joy, to see them fulfilled. So when people were upset or sad or feeling hopeless, well, it was only right that Nach helped out a bit, wasn’t it?

And did any of those things really count as miracles? They were all so mundane—finding toys, getting people to confess feelings, moving a few clouds with snow in them. Ok, so fine, creating permits out of thin air probably counted as a miracle, but surely only a teeny tiny one. Nothing to call upper management’s attention to him, or at least he hoped not.

“Oh!” Beck cried out, stopping. They were heading back toward the car since the sun was setting and it was getting chilly, but Nach noticed a large sign advertising “Christmas in the Park,” and sure enough, it seemed that vendors and stands were set up in the public park down the side street.

“That looks lovely! I wouldn’t mind a walk through,” Nach assured Beck, smiling.

“Well, that means we can drop the bags off before we go look in the park then! And I’m sure you’ll keep me plenty warm enough,” Nach added, blushing a bit even as he said it. He wasn’t really up to practice with flirting, but based on Beck’s smile he must have done ok.

“Oh yeah, I’ll definitely keep you warm. I promise to warm you up later, too,” he added, winking.

Then he pulled Nach along, throwing the bags in the car and finding a hat and scarf for Nach to wear. Nach dutifully bent down to have the colorful red hat placed on his head and the scarf wrapped around his neck.

Beck already had his coat and scarf on (his elf seemed to get chilly quite easily), so they headed off to the park. It was still just barely fluttering snow, and a pretty white coating was sparkling on the trees. Nach was quite proud of the job he’d done. It was like Christmas times of old.

They wandered into the park, stopping by various stands and looking at the wares, when Nach realized what was up ahead.

Oh. Oh no.

This was not good.

Beck seemed to notice it at the same moment based on his cry of glee. “The
