December 7th - Christmas Lights -
The sound of laughter floated through the air outside of the restaurant. It was late evening and snow was falling lightly on the two walking home. They were walking close together, the taller had an arm wrapped around the smeller's waist. The couple was speaking lightly, matching the atmosphere surrounding them.
"Hey, Roy?" the blond said looking up into dark onyx eyes. Roy glanced down to his little lover.
"What is it Edo-koi?" Edward blushed at Roy's nickname for him. He adverted eyes to his feet. He murmured something that couldn't quite be heard.
"Sorry, what did you say?" he smirked at getting his love so flustered by a simple name.
Edward took a deep breath and stopped, moving in front of Roy and leaning against him asked a question that would keep them out a lot later then planned.
"Can we go look at lights?" oh, how could Roy say 'no' to that adorable blond in front of him? Besides, they didn't put lights up themselves after that one incident…
Ed was on the roof putting some of the lights up. Roy was working of the first story windows and porch. Until a startled yell grabbed his attention. 'What is he up to now?' was going through Roy's head. Ed's voice came nervous and a bit freighted.
"Ummm…Roy? A little help, please!?"
He backed up turned is head to the roof…and his jaw dropped at the sight.
Edward was hanging in the air, lights circling his waist and him hanging on to the string that was, thankfully, attached firmly to the roof. Roy was stuttering.
"What? How did yo- oh never mind! Hang on Ed!" he ran over to the ladder and started climbing. Ed wore the look of indignation.
"What do you think I'm going to do! Let go and fall!!" Roy made it to the string of lights supporting his love and pulled them up. When Ed was in reach he held out his hand and helped the shaken blond up onto the roof. Ed clung to Roy tightly with no intention of letting go anytime soon. Roy sighed and sat down, pulling Edward with him.
They sat on the roof for a good two hours before Ed's grip loosened enough for them to get down and go inside. Where they sat on the couch instead of the cold rooftop.
"How about," Roy started gently while stroking his fingers through blond locks, "we just go light spotting, and decorate the inside of the house?"
Edward had quickly agreed that that would be better. They had Havoc and Brenda finish the lighting for that year, as well as taking it down. Since that, they used the lights on the inside, like Roy suggested.
He never did find out how Ed had gotten tangled and fell in the first place…
"Alright. Lets go." he said and warmed at the bright smile he got as thanks. They turned their direction to a residential area.
The two lovers spent three hours wondering around and gazing at the different Christmas lights, arms wrapped around each other. There was one house that Roy just had to comment upon. It was a two story house with children's toys scattered in the lawn, almost covered in snow. The lights were only two colors and made Roy smile as he looked between the house and his Edo-koi.
"Looks like they knew you were coming." he rested his head on Ed's.
Said Ed was just confused, "Huh? What are you talking about Roy?"
He chuckled. "Look closely at the lights and think."
Ed turned his eyes to the house and raised an eyebrow in thought. It wasn't anything special, just simple lights. The roof and windows were lined with golden lights and the door, trees and a design shaped like a star were in red. Then it clicked. He blushed. Not that you could tell, his cheeks were already pink from the cold.
Roy smiled seeing that his puzzle was figured out. "Come on Edo-koi, lets get home and I'll make some tea."
Edward's eyes brightened, "Peppermint?" Roy laughed at Edo's cuteness.
"Of course, Edo-koi, anything for you."
