Home for the Holidays

[sweetcandygirl]

Over the weekend, Harley was busy decorating her Nexus apartment, stylizing everything in soft whites and a few bright splashes of reds.

In the middle of the apartment, where her aerial silks normally hang from the cathedral ceilings, and several pinwheel decorations. And soft Christmas music is playing on the stereos, filling the open areas of her apartment.

The smells of several delicious foods waft from the kitchen. Everything is made with a vegetarian-friendly flare, that is still respectful to the season itself. And to supplement the fact there may not be any meat on the menu -- there is a large keg of ale on a countertop nearby. There is also plenty of wine, cocktails, and eggnog available.

Harley has invited a few people over to her apartment for a small pre-Christmas party. Mostly, those who already live or stay in her apartment.

"You think so?" He blushes and tilts his head obligingly when she straightens his tie. He's still not sure he did it right. The little troll person in the store that sold it to him had to show him twice, but he was very nice about it.

"It ain't that Christmas-y except for the pocket square, but I figured it'd be good to have a suit in case somethin' else comes up I need it for." He smiles. "You look real pretty, Harley. Merry Christmas?"

"Men in suits always look wonderful." Harley smiles brightly.

"Merry Christmas to you Cricket." She hugs him. "Do watch out for mistletoe tonight. I just know someone will be wanting to kiss you."

[alittlehinky]

"Not all of 'em," he tells her, making a face good-naturedly. "A jackass in a nice suit is still a jackass."

He hugs back without blushing any worse, laughing at her tease. "A little kiss never hurt anyone. I'll take it as it comes."

I mean, he probably has a preference as to who kisses him, but hey, it's a party, he'll live.

[sweetcandygirl]

"True." She won't think of jackasses she knew, who looked good in a suit. Not today. It is about her friends. And Christmas.

With that statement, he gets a kiss on his cheek. And Harley grins.

"No mistletoe required!"

[alittlehinky]

Predictably, Cricket blushes (again), and gives a little laugh, almost a giggle. "You ain't never needed mistletoe in your life, have you, Harley?"

[sweetcandygirl]

"Nope." Harley gives him one more hug, knowing that he is happy means a lot to her.
