Fandom: The Old Guard
Pairing: Nicky/Joe
Rating: Teen for kissing and innuendo
Length: 300
For: Day 15: two people on the floor with Christmas lights around them
Summary: Nicky's in charge of putting the lights on Nile's tree.
“Hello. You look nice,” said Joe as he lowered himself to the floor until he was beside Nicky, who was flat on his back almost beneath what they were all referring to as ‘Nile’s tree.’
“Do I?”
Nicky put his chin to his chest and took in the long tangle of multi-color Christmas lights atop the length of his body. “Nile said it would be easier to string the lights on the tree if they were lit. She also said to start at the bottom.”
Joe hummed, and after nine hundred years, that was all it took for Nicky to almost smile and roll slightly towards him.
Joe rolled, too, and reached a hand to brush Nicky’s cheek. “I like them. I like you in them.” Joe’s voice was almost a purr.
Nicky raised an eyebrow. Then his gaze went to Joe’s mouth. Their lips met.
The kiss broke about twenty minutes later.
“I told you!” cried Nile. “Don’t make me turn the hose on you two! You had a job to do, Mister. We got the ornaments.” Nile lifted two shopping bags in the air.
“And Chinese,” added Andy as she swept by them carrying brown paper bags.
Nicky and Joe pulled apart, obedient but unrepentant.
Joe got to his feet, following Andy and the scent of spring rolls to the kitchen.
Nicky sat up.
“If we do it quickly, Nile, may we have one of these for ourselves?” He fingered the strand and looked up at her; his expression one of a genuine hopefulness.
“Yes, you may,” said Nile, “because you are one polite freak.”
“Hoo-yah!” cried Joe from the kitchen. “Thanks!”
Nicky leaned back, tugged at the lights, and began to wind them into the lowest branches.
“You want the blinky ones?” asked Nile.
“Yes!” called Joe.
