A Christmas Star

Summary:

Thomas and Richard were nearly finished decorating Richard’s flat. The only thing missing was the star atop the tree.

Notes:

Set during Christmas 1927. Inspired by the prompt “stars”. 💛🌟

(And yes, the title is a reference to that one Christmas movie Robert James-Collier was in (which I haven't actually seen). The opportunity was RIGHT there and I couldn’t resist 😭)

Work Text:

Thomas and Richard were nearly finished decorating Richard’s flat. The only thing missing was the star atop the tree.

 

Richard opened one of the few still-sealed boxes, revealing about fifteen Christmas stars.

 

“Blimey, why’ve you got so many?” Thomas asked, as Richard layed them out on the table.

 

“You know I love the stars. When shops are full of them at Christmas, do you really expect me not to buy an extra one – or two – each year?”

 

“I suppose not.”

 

Richard grinned.

 

“You can pick this year’s. But I may well come home tomorrow with another option for next year.”
