[ On Christmas morning, Dolph will receive a package containing a framed photo he hasn't seen before – taken by Eren at the wedding, an utterly candid moment of just the two of them before the ceremony began. He has his arm slung around Dolph's shoulders still, as if he just pulled away from a hug but couldn't entirely let go yet. Their heads are bowed together, a dopey grin across Maruki's face, and a rare, beautiful smile on Dolph's– small and subdued in comparison to his expressive best friend, but on this day it's endlessly warm, entirely genuine. The joy can be felt through the photo no matter what.
There's a note as well:
Merry Christmas, Dolph.
Being by your side on such a happy day is one of the greatest honors of my life. I'll never know another friend as dear as you.
