[33 Apocalype Ave, early Sunday afternoon to evening]

Logan surveyed the boxes of decorations and ornaments that the deliverymen had brought earlier. The tree was in the living room, eight feet tall and filling the house with the scent of pine. There were cookies on the coffee table and cider and eggnog in the fridge for anyone who got hungry, and Logan was hoping there'd be people to eat enough that he'd not be stuck with leftovers for weeks.

He set up his computer to play randomly from a flash drive devoted completely to storing Christmas and holiday music and opened the first box. Oooh, garlands!

[OOC: Post is open all day! Anyone's welcome, but if you're not a housemate, please ping in outside first. If you think you would've been invited, feel free to handwave. Same as what kind of decorations are in the boxes.]

"I can understand that," Zoe said reassuringly. "I'm sure the boys appreciated you trying though."

"For some reason, I think I can do a little better in the Christmas cheer department this year," John told her with a smile.

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Oh really?" Zoe grinned and slipped her arms around his waist. "I think I might be feeling a little more celebratory too."

"Funny that," John said, throwing a grin at her over his shoulder as he put the burgers on to cook. "Guess this is proof that anything really can happen in Fandom."

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Anything can, and usually does happen. It's nice to see something finally falling on the good side, as opposed to the bad, currently troll-filled side."

Re: Inside

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Troll filling is never a good thing," John agreed. "Whipped cream is better."

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

Somehow, Zoe managed to keep a straight face as her mind wandered down a dirty path involving whipped cream and her present company. "Much, much better," she agreed.

The wicked grin that John shot her then hinted that his thoughts might have been travelling along similar lines. "We'll have to remember the whipped cream for later."

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Yes, we might just have to. You know, it's that kind of thinking that got us into our current situation," she teased.

"Well, we're already in it now, so we might as well enjoy ourselves," John pointed out with a smile.

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Oh, I love the way you rationalize," Zoe said, laughing.

Re: Inside

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

John chuckled. "A good hunter -- or soldier -- always makes the most of their opportunities."

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe smirked at him. "Well, never let it be said that you are not excellent at what you do."

Re: Inside

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"You're not so bad yourself," John teased.

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Enjoy that while it lasts. We'll see how good I still am when I blow up like a balloon," Zoe replied.

Re: Inside

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"We will," John said with a wicked grin. "It never slowed Mary down -- quite the opposite really."

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Really?" Zoe looked slightly reassured at that. "Have I mentioned how glad I am that you've already gone through this twice before? I feel like I don't have quite as much to worry about."

Re: Inside

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad I can help make you feel better."

Re: Inside

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Just keep telling me that everything will be all right, and it'll go a long way."

Logan walked into the kitchen, smiling at the both of them as he ran a hand over his sleep-mussed hair. "Afternoon," he greeted, leaning against the island. "You two seem like you're keeping yourselves occupied."

Re: Inside

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"You could say that," John said with a wry smile.

Re: Inside

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

Logan grinned a little. "Do you two have plans for the holidays yet?"

Re: Inside

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Just to spend it together with my boys," John said. "You? Any plans?"

Re: Inside

"I think I'll head home for at least Christmas itself," Logan said. "But I was thinking of having a pre-Christmas dinner for the house, maybe next Friday. If you guys would like," he invited, looking at them both with a smile. "You're welcome, as well as any family in the area you might have."
