Advent Drabble 12 - Tradition

[earlgreytea68]

Requested by nia_kantorka 

Every fucking year Eames went overboard with tinsel.

Which was predictable. Eames would be obsessed with the most annoying holiday decoration.

“Why is it we’re always working together during Christmas?” Arthur asked, picking tinsel off of his suit, out of his hair, why was it everywhere.

“Because, darling, it’s our tradition. Come help me put more tinsel on the tree.”

“The tree needs more tinsel because all the tinsel is somehow gravitating toward me,” Arthur grumbled.

“That’s because you’re the most attractive thing in the room,” replied Eames.

“Whatever,” said Arthur, and helped with the tinsel to shut Eames up.

We gave up on tinsel yrs ago, because it's dangerous for pets.

Awww, thank you! Of course the tinsel magically materialises on Arthur, he definitely is the most attractive one in the room. 🤩 Eames enthusiasm is wonderful. Thanks for this drabble and for indulging me with this prompt! I loved it. May you and your loved ones have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! 💜

ROTFL The tinsel is gravitating toward Arthur...of course!!!

[earlgreytea68]

Hahaha, it's just so perfect!

Aaaah, I love your Arthur/Eames banter. Grumbling-but-begrudgingly-smitten Arthur and shamelessly-flirting Eames are delightful. I love how Eames manages to make corny lines absolutely charming (and super effective).

[earlgreytea68]

Thank you! Eames is very good at that. :-)

Wonderful reply - and a great distraction.

Here's a "cracker" joke:

Q: What do you get if you eat too many Christmas decorations?
A: Tinselitis.

*groan*

Oh, wow, Eames would tell that joke.
