Where: Their home
Rating: pg-13 because Vicious and a man in a dress. idk.

Christmas was the time of year to bring out all the stops. The tree was fresh and just waiting to be decorated and hung with mounds of tinsel. The stockings were hung and the linen was pressed and the house smelled almost constantly of some kind of baking. It's the setting for an ideal family holiday, even if the family might not be all that ideal in reality.

He reached for the cup of coffee without bothering to look at it, or even lower the paper. This was routine. No matter how much that nagging feeling in the back of his head tried to tell him otherwise. Things were always this way.

"I have some business later." No particular need to elaborate. It was men's business, nothing to do with the quiet domesticity of home life. "It won't take long." This close to the holidays, even he would not absent himself for longer than was necessary.

"I won't delay your plans." Though he might otherwise point out that he could do whatever he wanted, on his own schedule, it was the holidays, and he knew he simply needed to be present to keep things harmonious. As long as he didn't actually have to help when it came to tasks like decorating the tree, it was fine.
