Reaper's POV

I carried boxes full of stuff from Geno's attic. When I walked into the living room, I saw my wife sitting on the couch.

Me: Vita Mia.

Geno: Yes, Reaper?

Me: I have holiday decor.

Geno: Why?

Me: Because it's getting close to the holidays.

He went silent for a few minutes. Then he spoke again.

Geno: Fresh and I don't exactly celebrate Christmas or decorate our house.

Me: What?! You're kidding me.

Geno: I'm not.

I almost dropped the boxes from shock. Setting them on the floor, I kneeled in front of Geno.

Me: The holidays are a time to spend with your family. To gather together and cherish them. This is one of the most celebrated events of the entire year.

He looked down with a sad expression.

Geno: We don't have any family members left to enjoy it with. The holiday reminds of me painful memories anyway.

A tear rolled down his cheek. I rubbed it away with my thumb.

Me: The past can't hurt you. This is always an opportunity to make better memories. With the family you have now. Even if it is a small one, you cherish them.

Geno: I don't have any living relatives.

Me: You have Fresh and now, you have me, your husband. That is all you need for a family. Also, we have the little one.

I said as I pointed to Geno's abdomen.

Geno: ... I'll celebrate the holidays but still no decor.

Me: Please, can I put decoration up?

Geno: No.

I sat on the couch next to him. I clung to his arm and gave him puppy eyes.

Geno: Don't use that trick on me, Reaper.

Me: Is it working?

Geno: Yes.

He growled through his teeth. I continued my adorable act. He finally broke.

Geno: Fine, decoration.

I kissed him and he returned it.

Me: I love you, Geno.

Geno: I love you too, Reaper.

I wrapped my cloak around him and went back to the boxes.

Tis the season to be jolly

A Quick Discussion

It's 01:21. Should I sleep? Probably not. I'm bored as hell.

I don't have anything on my mind so I'm going to just say love you and...

Bye
