Merely hearing such things from Millianna’s mouth, Chopper’s cheeks turned bright red. It was amazing that he made such an impact on her, that he was considered to be a sort of “best friend of the year” to her. At least, she didn’t make a similar gift for any of her other friends.
Hesitantly, Chopper reached his arms out toward her. “If that’s so… will you give me the best hug of the year?”
✿ - - the whole guild was filled with a raucous rumble as millianna’s guildmates celebrated the new year, jumping and yelling and embracing. caught up in the sea of bodies, millianna gave a little hop! to the side and out of the sea of people. she reached out her limbs and wrapped them around chopper’s velvety body.
“happy new year, chopper! i hope it’s a wonderful one for you! "
