This will take place the year after y/n arrived at the Protocol, so about a year ago from the current timeline. Sage hasn't died yet. 

Neon's P.O.V.:

It was Christmas season and everyone has been feeling a little bit happier than normal because of it. I was pretty excited myself, because Christmas was always a special time of year for my family. We would have a dinner together, listen to music, watch movies, and enjoy each others company. 

The protocol had planned a sort of party type of thing for everyone. Including all the agents and some other people who had connections with us, like the medics and pilots and other types of things.  

We didn't have to get anyone gifts, but I wanted to get something for y/n. Something tells me its been awhile since he has been able to celebrate Christmas.

 I had a problem though. I didn't quite know what he wanted. When I tried to imply getting him a gift, and asking him if he wanted anything, he answered with, "I want to see the Omega world crumble and die"

Not exactly helpful. 

I remember talking to him about the party and Christmas in general. Luckily he knew what Christmas was, and he knew what a formal was, so  I didn't need to help explain to him what it was. 

But back to reality, I didn't know what to get him. He didn't really have many hobbies. And the only thing he wanted wasn't really something I could give him. 

I walked into as many stores as I could, and nothing seemed right. I searched for a good while,  before sighing and sitting down on a bench. 

"Its hopeless", I said out loud. 

"What's hopeless?", I heard someone say, which startled me. I hadn't known I sat next to someone. 

"Sorry I didn't mean to startle you", the boy said. He looked to be about fifteen maybe, nothing out of the ordinary, just a normal random person. 

"No, it's fine", I replied. "I just can't seem to find a gift for someone", I answered his question. 

"How come?", he answered. 

"He just doesn't have any hobbies, he doesn't have anything that he likes other than a small set of things that I can't get him. He's secretive, so anything he might like, I don't know about it". I said. 

"Is he a friend of yours?", he continued questioning me. 

"Yeah", I answered. 

"Close?", he added. 

"I don't know to be honest", I answered a little disappointed. I mean, I would hope so, but I couldn't confidently say yes. 

"Well, you have hobbies right? If you tried sharing your own with him, he'd probably accept any gift", he said. 

Huh. I didn't really think about it like that. If y/n didn't have any hobbies, then maybe I could try to get him into my own. 

I chuckled, before looking back at the boy. 

"Thanks for the advice", I said before getting up and walking away, saying goodbye before I left.
