Chapter Text
“Mulled wine?”
McCree shook his head. His back was to Hanzo, who was sitting on the living room couch by the fire. The cabin they rented for the holiday was big enough for a huge stone fireplace in the living room, but not big enough for the kitchen to be in a separate space. They were both fine with it. The purpose for this trip was a job, anyway, small space meant they can keep an eye on each other easier.
“Chai tea,” McCree replied. His face was warmly red from the firelight. His head almost brushing the ceiling. His eyes crinkled when he looked at the snow drifting between the trees outside the window. McCree joined Hanzo on the couch, and handed him a cup of steaming hot tea. Hanzo’s had marshmallows in it, he didn’t remember buying any. Even the intense sweetness of spice and sugar wasn’t enough to satisfy Hanzo’s sweet tooth, and he never allowed himself to indulge in sweets – until McCree came along, and suddenly Hanzo was being spoiled with candies and cakes and sweetly hot beverage all the time – Hanzo did not have the self-restraint to refuse McCree’s doting.
“This is very good,” Hanzo said. All the marshmallows finished in a blink. McCree chuckled and turned slightly to kiss Hanzo’s horn. “But I feel like it’s missing something.”
McCree reached to the side of the couch, and grabbed one of the bottles of expensive whiskey their numerous past clients gave them for Christmas.
“More like it?” McCree wiggled the bottle, and Hanzo smiled slightly at him. McCree tore the wax seal off with his teeth and bit the cork out.
With the added buzz of alcohol, it was even easier to melt against each other. The house was old, and made of wood. Gushes of wind occasionally break the confines of the house and chilled them. The fire was useless in the cases of sudden gale, but the body heat of one another did wonders.
They sat in silence, enjoying the first day of the holiday, the last day of their rest. Warm cups in hand, warm lights around, and warmer companion beside. Tomorrow, their job start.
Now, they rest.
