Christmas Challenge | Day 8 - Decorating the Tree
Rating - Teen, for cursing

"Katsuki, can you please come help me? I can't reach this!"

"Well that's your fault for buying an eight foot fucking Christmas tree, Utsuro. I'm not helping."

Koge pouted as she glared over at her lover, holding the cute glittery star ornament up above her head. All around the tree at her height was covered in ornaments, but up higher? It was as bare naked as a new born baby, and Koge had no way to reach it. One, because she had no step ladder, and two, because her darling boyfriend was being a stubborn pain in the ass. The fact that they didn't have any chairs in their apartment didn't help, either, so she had no way of reaching this without moving heavy furniture.

"Why are you being so mean, Katsuki? C'mon, just help me a little bit?" Koge bounced in her spot a bit as she tried to reach a branch, but was unsuccessful at getting it into place. Bakugou just glowered at her from the couch, hands shoved defiantly in his sweatpant pockets. "I told you when we were at the store that thing was too fucking tall. And what did you do? Buy it anyway. It was heavy as fuck to get it up here, on top of all these decorations you bought. And it takes up half the fucking living room!" Koge rolled her eyes, letting her arm flop to her side in defeat as she gave a loud, exasperated sigh. "You're just being stubborn because you hate Christmas traditions!"

Bakugou scoffed, sinking further down into the couch. "Shove it. I told you I didn't want to do all this shit, but you didn't listen to my opinion. So you get to suffer with it all." For a moment, the couple glared at each other, until Koge bent down and picked up a small box of decorations. "Fine, then. Know what I'm gonna do?" Bakugou's glare darkened as she approached him, glancing down at the box when she plopped it down beside him. "What? Complain more?"

Sly smirk on her face, Koge straddled his lap, facing him. Since his hands were still in his pockets, she used the strength of her legs to trap him, at least long enough to torture him for a moment. "I have a new game. It's called 'decorate the Grinch'."

"Eh? HEY-" Within seconds, he had a strand of garland wrapped around his neck and shoulders like a scarf. Trapped in an awkward pose with his arms held to his body with her legs, he couldn't push her off. "Get this shit off me!"

"Never! Hold still!" Koge snatched a handful of loose tinsel strands and sprinkled them onto his hair, the metallic silver material sticking to him like glue. "Utsuro, I'm going to fucking destroy you! Let me go and get this shit off!" When he finally got his hands free, he snatched Koge by the arms, though she was able to get one free by biting his fingers. "'You're a mean one! Mr. Grinch–'" Koge sang, grabbing a clip on Christmas bow decoration and clipping it to his hair. She squealed as he picked her up, though she already had more arsonal in her hands. "'You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grrrrinch!'"

Bakugou tried to peel her off of him, but was unsuccessful as her legs wrapped tightly around his waist. "Shut up, Utsuro, just because you can sing doesn't mean you should!" Koge giggled, clipping more ornaments to his hair. "You're just mad because you're a nasty-wasty skunk, Katsuki! Look at you, so festive! You make a better decoration than the tree!" A squealed laughter escaped her as he slammed her down onto the couch, still trying to push her off with no success. "You are being such a pest! Why are you doing this shit?"

Koge kissed him roughly, even as he growled at her in annoyance. "I have to. Because you're being a butt about helping me with the tree."

"How is this supposed to help? I'm just more annoyed with you, now."

"Because I'm not going to stop annoying you until you agree to help me. I will continue to sing and decorate you instead. And I'll take pictures before you can even think about taking it off!" Sure enough, Koge brought her phone around, snapping a picture of his current state. Before he could even yell, she tossed it away onto the nearby armchair and out of his reach. "Utsuro! If you even think about showing that off, we're through!"

Koge gasped, though it was drowned in sarcasm. "What?! You would dump me for posting a picture? Katsuki, I thought you loved me more than that."

"My love is dwindling by the second."

"Liar. I've done worse than this to you and showed it off. You're still with me." Koge squinted as Bakugou shook his head, sending tinsel and the ornaments flying. As some fell onto her face, she blew it away with a small huff. "You love me more than ever, I bet." Bakugou cupped her cheeks, squishing them together as he placed a rough kiss on her lips. "I'm telling you, I don't." Kisses becoming softer, he released her cheeks to tangle his fingers into her hair. "I'm pretty sure I hate you."

Koge smiled against his lips, even as he kissed her. "Ah yes, I can feel the hate. Do you hate me enough to make the best decorated Christmas tree ever?"

"Fine… You win."

"That was easier than expected."
