Today is Treat and Kilian.
Killian looked at the tree, sighed. Peter had loved Christmas. Loved it. He thought maybe Treat still did, he wasn't really sure. He couldn't quite bring himself to ask. It didn't really matter; the holiday would never be the same again. Nothing would. That was what happened when people died.
The front door opened, Treat's voice sounding out. "Baby, I'm home."
"Hey, lover." He found a smile, headed over for the kiss, the love that was waiting for him. It wasn't the same, but that didn't mean life wasn't good.
Treat kissed him, full on and wholehearted. "Mmm. I've been wanting to do that all day long."
"Yeah?" He stepped in, snuggling close. "I missed you today. We so rarely spend time apart."
"I know. I didn't like it." Treat ran warm hands up and down his back. "We should avoid it as much as possible."
"I concur." He hummed and it helped, that sweet touch. "I put the tree up for us to decorate."
"Oh, thank you, baby." Treat looked honestly pleased.
"You're welcome." This smile was happier. "I thought we should order pizza, maybe?" That had been Peter's favorite thing.
Treat shook his head. "Let's make something together. Maybe a nice quiet supper, then hot buttered rum for the tree trimming?"
"I have some lovely t-bones."
"That sounds perfect, love." Treat kissed him slowly. "You know I love a good steak. And if you cook it, I'll make a salad."
"It's a deal." Killian squeezed Treat's fingers. "I'm glad you're home."
"Me, too." Treat kissed him again. "And after the tree is decorated I have a whole new tradition we can indulge in."
"Oh, that sounds tempting."
"I want it to sound more than just tempting, love."
His laugh bubbled out of him. "Then you should tempt me with this tradition."
"I can do that." Treat's mouth covered his again, hand slipping between them, teasing.
His body loved that, loved how Treat touched him.
"Gonna make you feel so good," Treat promised.
"You always do."
"And I always will."
And KIllian needed that, for the rest of his life.
