Summary
"You look like you're having a good time," you say softly, a slow sort of thing in the stickiness of the evening as the lights from the tree blink down onto the two of you.
"I am," Dick agrees gently, his smile slow as he relaxes further into the couch. "Are you?"

"Do you want to talk about whatever you're thinking?" Bruce asks quietly, and you purse your lips in fake thought.
"Do you want to talk about what you're thinking?" you counter.
"I think this'll get awfully lonely if we don't speak to each other."

Summary
You don't really realize the lovestruck state you're giving Kon until he cuts himself off, stopping to smile sheepishly and sit down next to you.
"What's that for?" he murmurs, sticky sweet and gentle.
"I'm just having a good time," you shrug - and it's true, you think, something soft making a home in your heart.

Summary
"I didn't think you really…" Tim drifts off, and his eyes track your movements as you twirl the candy cane through the whipped cream in his hot chocolate. "Did things like this."
"I know how to heat up milk on a stove," you say pointedly, and the laugh he answers with tugs on his injuries with a twinge and a flinch.
"I meant… Christmas."

"They're going to ask you to spend Christmas here," Jon says quietly, and your gaze snaps to him.
"What?"
"It'll be fun," he says, and when you look at him a bit scathingly, he hastily adds, "it'll be quiet. Honestly, no big deal or anything. We don't do much."

"You didn't decorate this year," Jason says flatly, and you inhale a bit at the feeling of being caught off guard.
"Um… I didn't know if you would want to," is your gentle response, and he slouches down like you've burned him.

"Multicoloured lights on a tree is crazy, I'm sorry," you disagree, leaning up onto your toes to place another ornament.
"You've lost the child in you," Roy says sweetly.
"No, I just never had that to begin with."

Summary
"Maybe we can do gold next year," you offer thoughtfully as Jon ambles about, sweeping the loose pine needles into a messy sort of pile with his foot.
"What about blue?" he asks absently. "You almost wanted to do blue this year."
"Hm," you press your lips together. "Next year, red and gold. The year after that, blue and silver."

"No one would be upset if you wanted to call it a night early," Bruce says, and the air leaves your lungs in a deep, drawn-out breath.
"No?"
"No," he insists. "This is supposed to be fun. If you're not having a good time, I don't want you to force yourself."

"Did you… put cinnamon in this?" you ask curiously, and Jason takes his own experimental little sip of his coffee.
"Yea, baby," Roy shrugs. "You're not the only one who knows about holiday joy."

Summary
"They're cookies," Kon scoffs, snatching the recipe from Tim. "It can't be that complicated. I'm sure we have… well, most of this."
"I don't think it really works if you have most of the ingredients, baby," you say, a teasing tilt colouring the kindness in your voice. "Christmas joy can only take you so far."
