Advent Calendar

Summary:

Short little fluff piece featuring Drarry and candy.

Notes:

Hello readers! December is upon us! (Whether we’re ready or not. I am not)
I hope this gives you a bit of cheer.

Enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“…. What are you eating?” Harry asked.

“What does it look like, Potter?” Draco asked with a raised eyebrow as he popped another piece in his mouth.

“It looks like you’re eating chocolate at 6 am before coffee or tea,” Harry pointed out.

“It’s December first,” Draco said, as he waved his wand and two cups and a box floated over to the kitchen table. He then pointedly drank from one.

“What does the date have to do with it?” Harry asked.

“Would you sit down?” Draco asked annoyed.

Harry glared weakly but sat down. He automatically picked up the mug in front of him and took a drink, not caring that he’s burned his tongue, again. When he opened his eyes the box was in front of him. The numbers on each door twinkled at him.

“What?” Harry asked. He could hear the other man roll his eyes. It wasn’t a typical morning if Draco didn’t roll his eyes at least once at Harry.

“The Christmas advent calendar,” Draco said. “Go on, open yours.”

“This is mine?” Harry asked surprised finally looking at the blond who was giving him a soft smile. Harry set his mug down to hold Draco’s hand.

“Yes, I thought you’d like your own,” Draco said.

“Oh love,” Harry said as he leaned over to kiss Draco. He tasted chocolate.

“Open it, sop,” Draco murmured.

Harry let the hand go to pull the One drawer open. He took a small bag out, looked inside, and then poured the contents into his hand.

“Ooh toffee,” Draco said. Harry pulled his hand closer to himself with a pout making the blond laugh. “It’s all yours, unless you want to share.”

“So I should eat these now before a blond snake does?” Harry asked teasingly. Draco gasped.

“How rude! I would never. And don’t give me that look,” Draco said trying not to laugh.

“Still going with the stray kneazle story,” Harry stated flatly. Draco held his nose in the air but he couldn’t hide his amusement very well.

“Eat your candy, Potter,” Draco ordered.

“Why now though?” Harry asked as he looked at the toffee pieces.

“Why not now? It’s one fun thing to get out of bed for in December,” Draco said.

“And having it before breakfast doesn’t count?” Harry asked.

“Now you get it,” Draco said.

Harry just shook his head and popped a few pieces in his mouth. Before he knew it he had eaten them all. All that was left was spots on his hand where the toffee had started to melt. He eyed the box of drawers -his own advent calendar- but it floated away from him.

“Day 2 is for day 2,” Draco said with a narrowed eye look. He sneered when Harry just licked the toffee residue off his hand.

Notes:

Even though Advent Calendars were done for religious purposes, I’m going with the American non-religious one. Particularly the candy version. I like to think that once Draco stumbled across a reason to eat sweets daily, and it’s acceptable, then he’d be all over that.

Also the “doesn’t count” bit refers to watching calories and how during certain things (holidays, birthdays etc.) they don’t count.

Thanks for reading!

Don’t get too excited about a fic a day. I’d absolutely love to do that but life.
