    Summary

    If Jon gets the joke at all, his expression doesn’t show it — a combination of the lighting, the mask, and the way at which Jon often stares at him like he’s got lobsters crawling out of his ears — instead leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest. “How much longer do we have?”
    Martin looks at his wrist. He’s not wearing a watch. He usually doesn’t wear a watch, so he’s not sure why his first instinct is to look at his wrist, but none have manifested there when he checks, just to make sure. “Um,” he says helpfully. “Under seven minutes.” A medical examiner would refer to such as
    a slow death.

    Martin and Jon play a party game.

    Summary

    Martin tipped his head back to look at the lights, and his grin was big and white and lovely. He was so pale that they should have washed him out, but they only served to light him up, highlighting the pink flush of his cheeks and the soft smattering of freckles that Jon hadn’t been close enough to notice before. His round glasses reflected the light, but beneath them Jon could see the way they turned his eyes honey-gold. 

    He squeezed Jon’s hand. “It’s beautiful.”

    “Yes,” Jon agreed, squeezing back.

    To say that Jonathan Sims didn't enjoy Christmas would be a gross understatement.

    With the season fast approaching, his friends set him up on a series of festive dates to get him into the holiday spirit. Enter Martin Blackwood, a local tattoo artist and the absolute opposite of Jon’s type, to teach him the true meaning of Christmas.
