A Drabble A Day #18: Tree
"Okay. I'm going to be blunt; who did you steal it from?"
Claude turned to face the empath, putting on a sweet, innocent smile. "Stealing? Me? What would ever give you that idea?"
Peter rolled his eyes. "Because we didn't have a huge tree in the house when I left earlier, and now we do. And I know you don't have any money."
"Ouch, that stings," said Claude in mock-hurt. "Alright, yeah, I did steal it. From a store, not some family. But how else was I supposed to get such a nice one? And I only did it because you're obsessed with getting into the holiday spirit."
"Damnit, Claude, you gotta stop doing that! If you wanted a tree, I could've just bought one for you-"
Claude stepped forward, interrupting him with a kiss that Peter couldn't help but be silenced by. "I did it because," he said between kisses, "you couldn't possibly find a tree as nice as this one."
Peter pouted as Claude began to kiss his neck. "Are you questioning my tree-finding abilities?"
The invisible man chuckled. "You're makin' it sound like a power, mate. Speaking of powers, though, time for you to get to work. A tree can't decorate itself, you know!"
A/N: Please, please, PLEASE forgive me for the long wait! Once you fall behind on one, it's easy to fall behind on more... xD Anyway, I'll be slowly but surely updating this soon. Don't forget to look out for the special Christmas/Christmas Eve chapters! Hopefully those will turn out alright, too!
