Author: Akarana
Rating:T
Prompt:There were prompts? Uhm... Christmas decorations, kissing... and I'm out
Character(s)/Ship:Cadgins, what else?
Summary:I somehow think this is kind of self-explanatory
Spoilers: I guess you should know the epis up to 5.10 to not get spoiled
This is where I put in my personal warning: It is now 12 days before Christmas and I guess we're all busy. I couldn't come up with anything beforehand so I just wrote this down and post it now. No beta has ever seen this and I am still no English native, as much as I wish I were. So there might be mistakes and weird expressions and maybe even stuff that doesn't make sense. And I am sorry for that. But how could I ask a beta do beta a story a day? And knowing me those buggers can get pretty long. So, I hope you bear with me and forgive me the mistakes, I try my best.
Part 1/12: Decorating
„So, this will be our first Christmas together," Hodgins said and took another box of decorations from her, placed it on the table in the living room and sat down on the couch. He waited for her to join him and get out of the closet where she had stored all the decorations.
"What did you say?" she asked when she finally walked into the living-room with even more boxes, which she had stacked so she could balance them on her hands and steady them with her chin. He shook his head when he saw her and got off the couch again to help her put the boxes down before she would drop them.
"How much more of this junk do you have?" he asked and pointed to the table and the floor that were covered with boxes filled with dancing Santas and tinsel in every imaginable color.
"This is no junk," she protested and opened the first box. "And where is your holiday spirit?" she asked him and threw a bag with tinsel in his direction which he caught.
"Buried somewhere up in the attic, where we were looking for this junk for two hours until you remembered that you put it in that closet over there," he grumbled. "And wasn't my mother's old porcelain in there? What happened to that?" he asked her and raised his eyebrows questioningly.
"I have no idea, because you cleaned it out so I could put my "junk" in there," she told him and threw more tinsel in his direction.
"Yeah, because I thought you'd move in and not just put the stuff there that you had in your attic before," he grumbled and pulled strands of tinsel out of the bag, making a mess on the couch.
"Hodgins," Cam sighed and placed her hands on her hips, a resigned look on her face.
"I know, I know, still too early," he mumbled and threw more of the golden and red strands on the couch, not even thinking about it. She looked at him, sighed again and finally walked over to him and sat down sideways in his lap.
He looked to the side just to avoid looking at her, but she wouldn't have it. She cupped his chin with her hand and turned his head to her. He glared at her defiantly, knew already what she would tell him but didn't want to hear it. It was enough for her that he looked at her though and she kissed him softly to weaken his resistance.
"We've been together for four months now, right?" she asked him and adjusted her position by wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Right," he nodded obediently but still pouting.
"And you know that I have Michelle to consider. I wouldn't move in alone," she went on.
"I know," he muttered. They had had the exact conversation a thousand times already.
"And she would have a much longer way to school, not to speak of the fact that she just moved in with me," she raised her eyebrows as she told him that.
"She moved in with you over a year ago and you haven't even asked her yet," he protested in frustration.
"Hodgins, why isn't it enough that we celebrate Christmas together here at your place?" she asked him.
"I don't want to wait anymore. I'm done waiting. We've been together for four months, but we've danced around this for a year," he replied and pulled more tinsel out that fell on her lap.
"You are being greedy and acting like a spoiled kid. And while I think you're cute when you're pouting you should stop it, because I'm not changing my mind," she said sternly, took some of the colored strands and decorated his hair with them.
"Will it help if I throw myself on the floor and scream really loud?" he asked her with puppydog eyes, the tinsel hanging off his hair, framing his face.
"No, it won't. But maybe if you help me decorating your place… You know once I see the decorated Christmas tree beside the lit fireplace…" she trailed off.
"In front of which we will make love all night," he finished her sentence with a rakish grin.
"Which is only possible if Michelle doesn't live here," she added and the pout was back on his face. Cam laughed out loud when she saw it and threw more tinsel on his head. "Come on, Jack, don't be such a baby! Michelle and Perry will be here in an hour and we still have to set up the tree," she grinned.
"Or we could just make out until they get here and set up the tree later," he disagreed and gave her a lingering kiss.
"Ok," she shrugged nonchalantly just before a large smile broke out on her face. He let the bag with tinsel drop onto the couch and brought his hands up to her hair, played with it while he kissed her. The soft and playful kiss soon got more heated. They ended up lying on the narrow couch with him on top of her, his hands under her red christmas pullover, hers tangled in his hair and her legs wrapped around his. They had to break apart when the aching in their lungs reminded them that they needed to breathe from time to time. He opened his eyes and looked down on his girlfriend, whose hair was sprawled out on the couch.
"I think we're doing a good job decorating," he grinned when he saw the tinsel woven in between the black strands of her hair and pulled a red one out to show her.
"Glad we agree on that at least," she smiled and pulled him down to her again. They had only twenty more minutes left.
