imma be under the mistletoe with you ❄️

it’s my favorite holiday season, and guess what?! dean and cas are kissing under the mistletoe!

deancaskiss >>>> deancasmistletoekiss 🎄💋

I was writing the most beautiful soft fic about dean finally getting a proper Christmas with his brother, the love of his life, and their son.

I switched apps to Google a synonym for "teary-eyed" and tumblr deleted it.

Goodnight y'all.

Dean would be the type to decorate every inch of the bunker with Christmas lights and trees and garlands and little trains and mistletoes and ornaments. Just because he could never give Sam the holidays Dean feels Sam deserves. (And just for the chance that he might catch cas under the mistletoe, even though he’d never admit it to himself.)

And more Christmas goodies.

A Wish For Santa by hollyblue2 [Teen and Up, 4k words]

Dean has found friendship in the father of his daughter's best friend, one that he enjoys and wants more out of, but is afraid to ask. That is until Emma has a sleepover and she and Claire begin plotting.

and mercy mild by microcomets [Teen and up, 3k words]

This, Dean thinks, is possibly one of the lamest Christmases in his thirty-five year history, and that includes the time he and Sam strung up beer cans as tinsel while intoxicated, and the time when he'd gotten a skin mag from his dad on Christmas morning.

By the Hearthside by sconesandtextingandmurder and whichstiel [Teen and up, 7k words]

When a snowstorm prevents them from making the drive all the way home to the bunker, Sam, Dean, and Cas take shelter in an empty cabin for the night. It's not the Christmas Eve any of them had planned, but Dean is determined to make it work.

Just for the Holidays by Fallen_Angel_Meg [Explicit, 41k words]

After going through some tough times, Jess, Castiel's best friend, decides the best thing for him to do is to get away for Christmas. She secretly signs up their shared house on a home exchange website and it doesn't take long for them to get some interest. Castiel ends up trading houses with Sam Winchester, despite his hesitations to do so. So now Castiel has to spend his Christmas alone in Lawrence, Kansas. Which isn't so bad because Castiel is looking for some alone time right now, not wanting to get romantically involved with anyone. That is, until he meets Dean Winchester and things get complicated.

Lost and Found by haus_seeblick [Explicit, 41k words]

A newly-engaged Castiel is traveling to meet his future in-laws, when he collides — literally — with a kind, green-eyed man at the airport. Dean is on his way home from a failed business trip, when he meets a man who makes his heart beat faster than it has in a long time. An unexpected coincidence has them spending the holidays together... and that's when things get complicated.

mistletoe & peppermint cocoa by navylights [Teen and up, 5k words]

Cas and Dean are on a mission: to pick up the perfect Christmas tree for their first Christmas with everyone alive and well. And while Cas and Dean are out shopping, and buying cocoa on a snowy afternoon, a certain meddling younger brother is putting up mistletoe in the bunker. (Or, the absurdly fluffy Christmas carols/cocoa/mistletoe/tree decorating/Christmas lights fic of your dreams)

Naughty or Nice by MittenWraith [Teen and up, 9k words]

Jack just wants to create a festive holiday wonderland in the bunker, but his plans never seem to work out the way he hopes. When Patience shows up to warn Dean of a psychic vision of his imminent demise, she inadvertently helps things go right (but only after they all go shockingly awry).

Under the Mistletoe by Kitmistry [Teen and Up, 5k words]

Dean didn't understand why Charlie insisted they hang a mistletoe over the door of the bakery, but maybe she was onto something. Or the one where Dean kissed his Christmas crush.

The story culminates in a magical moment under the mistletoe, where Castiel and the reader share a sweet kiss, making it a Christmas to remember for everyone involved.

Heavenly Christmas

It was Christmas Eve, and the bunker was adorned with twinkling lights and the scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. You were busy decorating the Christmas tree with Sam and Dean, the festive atmosphere filling your heart with warmth.

Suddenly, the familiar sound of fluttering wings echoed through the room, and there stood Castiel, his trench coat slightly dusted with snow. He looked at the tree with curiosity, his blue eyes reflecting the lights.

"What is the purpose of this tree?" Castiel asked, his voice as serious as ever.

You chuckled, handing him a string of lights. "It's a Christmas tree, Cas. It's a tradition. People decorate it to celebrate the holiday season."

Castiel examined the lights in his hands, then glanced at you. "I am not familiar with Christmas traditions. How does one properly celebrate?"

Sam grinned. "Well, we exchange gifts, have a big feast, and spend time with loved ones. And tomorrow, we'll open presents under the tree."

Castiel nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips. "I would like to participate in this celebration."

As the night progressed, the four of you decorated the tree together, sharing stories and laughter. Castiel listened intently, absorbing the concept of Christmas with genuine interest.

Later, you all gathered around the fireplace, enjoying the warmth it provided. Castiel sat next to you, his gaze fixed on the flickering flames.

"Hey, Cas," you said, handing him a beautifully wrapped box. "Merry Christmas."

Castiel took the gift, examining it carefully. With a nod, he began to unwrap it, revealing a cozy scarf.

"I noticed you don't get cold, but I thought it might be a nice addition to your wardrobe," you explained.

Castiel smiled, a rare expression that lit up the room. "Thank you, Y/N. I appreciate the sentiment."

The evening continued with laughter, music, and shared moments that made it a truly magical Christmas. As the clock struck midnight, you found yourself under the mistletoe with Castiel.

He looked at the plant curiously, then back at you. "What is the significance of this?"

"It's a tradition," you replied, smiling. "If two people stand under the mistletoe, they have to kiss."

Castiel nodded, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to your lips. It was a soft, sweet moment that seemed to pause time, creating a memory you would cherish for Christmases to come.

In that moment, surrounded by friends and love, you couldn't help but feel that this Christmas was truly heavenly.

And so, in the warmth of the bunker, with snow falling gently outside, you celebrated a Christmas that would forever be etched in your heart, filled with love, laughter, and the unexpected joy of sharing traditions with an angel named Castiel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i swear if anyone hurts this angel, everyone near me will be dead

Christmas things that I think Team Free Will would do

- Jack and Sam would decorate the whole bunker (Dean would say that it looks like Santa threw up in there)

- Even though Jack knows that Santa isn’t real, Dean, Sam, and Cas would put presents under the tree for him from Santa.

- Dean would make an exception for Christmas music in the bunker only on December 24th and 25th.

- Sam and Cas would try cooking a big breakfast Christmas morning, but they’d burn almost all of it.

- Dean hangs up mistletoe in the Dean cave and in the doorway of his and Cas’s room so they have an excuse to kiss.

- Sam and Eileen wear matching ugly sweaters.

- Cas gets asked questions about Christmas lore related to heaven. He dodges every single one to not take away from the mood.

- Dean and Sam put small pictures of everyone that they lost on the tree. (Bobby, Ellen, Jo, Crowley, Gabriel, etc)

- Dean and Cas are very lovey-dovey with each other during the holidays.

- They all make Christmas cookies together. Cas gets flour all over his trench coat so he has to take it off. Jack and Dean both sneak a lot of dough. Sam makes a gingerbread house.

- Cas would decorate his wings on the 25th. (Dean would take a lot of joy in taking them off when they’re done)

- Sam takes videos and pictures of all of them.

- Dean makes dirty Christmas puns at Cas when Jack’s out of earshot. “E.g. why don’t you come and suck this candy cane, honey?)

It’s Christmas night and Dean gets drunk off spiked eggnog. He refuses to let Cas’ hand go for longer than a minute. Cas is just happy to be there, and he can’t stop looking at Dean with soft, fond eyes. Dean grins drunkenly at him and kisses him under the mistletoe and tells Cas that he’s the best Chirstmas present he could ever have. Anyone Dean and Cas walk up to will hear Dean slur through a bright eyed smile, “he’s mine. My Cas. We’re together” and then Dean will wander back off, tugging Cas with him, and Cas goes willingly because he will always, always, follow Dean. 

I have a Christmas fic idea. Just hear me out real quick.

Donna and Jody decode to throw like a big family Christmas party. And the girls help them prepare everything. But while Donna hangs the mistletoe Claire gets a little bit defensive about getting a smooch. There is some chatter about it. Ratta tatta and stuff, Claire not being a big fan of displaying affection.

Buuuut. As Jody joins the conversation, she kinda pushes the idea or rather forms a joke about displaying mistletoe everywhere, so everybody would catch Claire at some point. And oh Claire decides it is on. Like some kind of game. She helps hang it, she memories the clean paths. She wants to be the only one standing proud, no smooches on her account. But she wants everybody else to be miserable because of the game.

So. The Winchesters come at the point when everything is already decorated. Jody welcomes them with mistletoe smooches at the entrance. Sam actually likes it. Dean is taken by surprise. Of course he will get a tad defensive. They all settle inside. Dona explains the idea of the "game" to them. To be honest most of them just want to get Claire and smooch her so she won't win her own ridiculous battle.

Jack appears out of nowhere. Claire gets into argument that he should have come through main door (the mistletoe ther is supposed to guarantee her that nobody else in the house has 0 kisses on their account as she does). Jack doesn't understand. But he likes the idea of game granting him kisses.

At some point Dean ends up under the mistletoe with Jack. After Claire putting her foot down about "no exceptions", Dean gives Jack the cutest smooch on the forehead.

"Don't get used to it, kid!"

Jack obviously tries to get more fatherly kisses after that. Because look, Sam grants them without reason, so it's not the same.

"I prefer my eggnog game" declares Dean at some point.

"How do you play it?" Naively asks Jack.

"You drink it."

Yeah, nobody is amused by that, Dean.

Buuuut. As they get more cosy, start chatting and singing, the doorbell goes of. And Claire gets the door. Of course she stays clear of the mistletoe, just pushing it with her hand.

And then there is Cas on the other side. Very confused as everybody yells from inside that Claire cheated. But hey, Cas doesn't care. What he does is kiss Claire's hand, explaining that there is a mistletoe above them. (He did his research about normal human behaviour at the festive season cause Dean is like a hyper excited kid about it and Cas wants to indulge him)

There are wining cheers, as Claire gets flustered and invites Castiel in. The competitive spirit of the game quiets down after that. Instead Claire decides to bug Castiel, trying to get him wear fluffy wings and a plastic halo.

"Our own tree topper."

Yeah, she got fond of him, alright.

Jack gets free forehead kisses from Cas. Because he still plays the game and nobody pays attention to the fact that there not always is a mistletoe around when the kid says so.

But then another game starts. As Claire teams up with Jack to get the best possible Christmas kiss for Dean and Cas. And you know what? They succeed.

And they are all happy. And there are lights, warm food, long hugs, ugly sweaters, reindeer headbands and not so spiced eggnog.

Christmas Event 2022

Christmas Masterlist 2022

Christmas Prompt List 2022

You met Jack a few months ago, and you weren’t afraid to say that you fell head over heels the first moment you clapped eyes on him. You knew that he felt the same about you from the way his body language changed when you were around; he became more at ease and seemed to be happier within himself. 

With Christmas coming up, an idea popped into your head which you knew everyone would be shocked about. Sam and Dean, being Sam and Dean, were completely oblivious to the fact that you and Jack were harboring feelings for each other so you wanted to make this as special for them as it would be for the both of you.

You had all begun decorating the bunker with Christmas decorations. Grabbing the mistletoe you had saved from your room, you ran up the stairs and hung it from the railing. You were hoping that your idea would play out the way that you hoped. 

Jack rounded the corner as you were coming to the bottom of the stairs. He looked as if he was on a mission. “Hello, Y/N. I was looking for you.” You raised your eyebrows inquisitively. “Oh?” Jack’s cheeks began to redden as he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. 

“I-I was wondering, if maybe, I-....could....kiss you?” As Jack continued on with his question, his cheeks beamed more and more. Your mouth turned upwards into a beaming smile as you leaned in towards Jack, whispering into his ear. “Meet me under the mistletoe in five minutes.” You pointed upwards to where it was situated as you ran around the bunker to find the brothers.

“C’mon Y/N! That pie was still steaming hot! It’s not gonna taste the same if it’s cold!” Dean sunk down in a chair by the war table, arms folded across his chest, as Sam sat across from him, shaking his head. “Seriously Dean, can you not think about food for the five minutes that Y/N needs us?” 

You chuckled at the brothers bickering as you made your way over to the mistletoe. The brothers gave you confusing looks as you stood there, with a look of both nerves and happiness. “What’s going on, Y/N?” Sam leaned forward, a little worried at this point. “Just be patient.”

A few seconds later Jack walked through the library and over to you, a warm smile on his features. You both faced each other with your hands resting on his shoulders and his resting on your cheeks. You both slowly leaned in and your lips touched, gentle and slow. 

Jack’s hands landed on the small of your back as yours traveled to the back of his neck. You both broke apart and rested your foreheads on each other, smiling and completely lost in each other.

“Ahem.” You both jumped at the sound and turned towards the brothers, your hands now entwined together. “Since when did, er, this happen?” Dean pointed from you to Jack and back to you. “Well, we’ve both been feeling things recently and we wanted to make it known to the both of you. Plus, it’s Christmas and there’s mistletoe.” You gestured up to the railings  and the brothers followed your gesture.

“When did you...” Dean looked very confused as Sam stepped forward. “Never mind that, we’re both very happy for you.” He brought you both in for a hug and ruffled the top of Jack’s head, gesturing for Dean to do the same. His hug was a little more rigid and he seemed to be staring Jack down. “If you ever do anything to hurt her, I will invent a way to kill you myself.” 

Jack’s eyes widened as Dean walked away. “Don’t worry about him, Jack. He’s just being protective.” You wrapped your arms around him and pecked his cheek before he took your hand and guided you towards his room. “We need to call Cas and tell him, he’ll be so happy!” 

met my new doctor today and is2g he was wearing dean's fruity boots paired with medium wash jeans and plaid-esque patterned business shirt and i almost snapped a pic for reference but sadly failed anyway now i have dr dean brainworms where the kids call him that instead of his last name and adults refer to him as real life dr sexy and he's the sweetest bean who's great with kids and everyone is charmed by that boyish smile and charisma but while he drives a badass black muscle car from the 60s he's also an endearing nerd with novelty mugs and pjs and he wears glasses for reading and volunteers at the local fun run sam takes part in and has an embarrassing not-so-secret crush on the honey stall guy at the farmer's market who turns out to also be an economics teacher at the community college and an ex-soldier and is somehow inept with computers but loves emojis and dean knows this not because he got up the courage to ask the guy out but because blue eyes got hurt at the fun run shielding someone from a wayward sign that blew away anyway they got to talking and talked more when cas came in for a follow-up and they just kind of hit it off and stay in touch and a friendship blossoms and dean doesn't want to blow it by pushing for more plus he loves being friends with cas and before long cas knows as much about his past as anyone close to him like how he practically raised sammy and their childhood was pretty dark for a while but he put himself through med school with barwork and as a mechanic for his uncle bobby and he learns all about cas' bees and visits his little farm and hears how he was homeless for a time after cutting ties with his homohobic family and he has an adopted son in his 20s and dean tries not to fixate on the fact that cas is gay but hope blooms in his chest meanwhile it doesn't change the fact that they already eat homecooked meals together and go to movie nights in the park and dean meets jack and takes him fishing and cas gets the official seal of approval from charlie when they all go larping together and their first kiss isn't actually with each other bc it's at a christmas festival and they're standing under mistletoe but cas kisses the stuffed nemo dean is holding which he won on the ring toss which cas helped him cheat at and they build a snowman which cas tries to turn into a bee but ends up looking like an angel and dean says something stupid about cas being his angel and wants to blame it on the mulled wine and immediately regrets it but cas responds to dean's foolish flirtation with a real kiss and then ofc it starts snowing and they huddle closer in the cold and it's the start of a new chapter in their relationship and honestly dean couldn't have asked for a better gift

Sure, he may have to live and teach in the middle of nowhere, but he never liked the hustle and bustle of Boston much anyway. Plus, Hockomock’s location in the center of the Bridgewater Triangle seems like a perfect fit for his research on the cultural experience of paranormal phenomena. He even found an amazing deal on a small house outside of town, one his parents helped him make a down payment on because the price was just too good to pass up. Okay, maybe it’s in the middle of a creepy swamp, and on the same road as a graveyard and nothing else, but Castiel can handle that.

And then, a few days before Halloween, Castiel sees a frightening green creature standing in front of the graveyard, and he finds out just how easily he can spook.

CHRISTMAS! MOVIE! AU!!!!!! HOLY SHIT WAIT ALSO BRIDGERTON AU!!

ahhh renu thank you for asking!!! i'm gonna put bridgerton under a read more or else this ask is gonna be REAL long lol

christmas movie au excerpt:

They came in to find Anna and Jack sipping from mugs on the couch and the whole house smelt of hot chocolate. “You read my mind, Anna. I was thinking we needed a hot beverage.”

“Great minds think alike,” she quipped in return.

“Marshmallows too?” Dean asked.

“It wouldn’t be hot chocolate without marshmallows,” Anna frowned jokingly. “We’re not heathens here, are we Jack?” 

“We have big ones and small ones,” Jack nodded seriously.

“That’s what I like to hear,” Dean grinned at Jack. 

Castiel found Anna had already set out two mugs for them on the counter. He poured hot chocolate from the pot on the stove into the mugs as equally as he could and turned to find Dean waiting next to him. He was so close that his arm was brushing against Castiel’s and his warmth was apparent even though his thick sweater. Castiel could smell a fresh pine scent with a hint of something warmer and spicier - he felt his cheeks flush. Dean smelt even better than the hot chocolate. Dean’s eyes crinkled at the edges, “You okay Cas?”

He’d frozen again. “Uh, yes.” He put the pot down hurriedly and gestured towards the two bowls of different sized marshmallows. “Big or small?”

Dean glanced at him, “Which ones do you like?”

Castiel frowned. He had no idea why Dean was asking him for his opinion. “Um… I like the small ones. The big ones take too long to melt and with the small ones - the ratio of marshmallow to hot chocolate as you’re drinking is better.”

Dean let out a small breath of a laugh. “Small it is then. Can’t argue with logic.”

Their hands brushed lightly as they both reached into the bowl at the same time and Castiel almost dropped his marshmallows all over the counter.

outline:

christmas movie au is based on my generic version of a lifetime christmas movie.

cas works for his family's company in the big city and doesn't enjoy it. on a whim he decides to spend christmas with his sister anna and her son jack in the small mountain town they live in.

he helps them get ready for the holidays and in the process meets dean the handsome christmas tree farmer. anna mentions that they had a thing once and cas is disappointed that dean is straight.

they keep running into each other all over town, dean saving cas from various debacles. cas starts crushing on dean.

then a snow storm hits and cas's car gets stuck while he's out and about. hypothermia is just setting in when dean rescues him and brings him home to his cabin.

they weather the storm together by the fire and get to know each other better. he invites dean and sam to spend christmas at anna's with them.

on christmas, gabriel joins in the festivities too. dean and cas end up under the mistletoe and dean kisses him. cas is shocked. has a bit of a crisis stemming from past trauma. dean gets upset and leaves.

sam and gabe both talk to cas and help him work through his issues. but cas is still scared. he ends up going back to the city only to realize that it's not where he wants to be anymore.

then yayyy he goes back to be with dean!!

i'm REALLY close to finishing this one. hoping to post for this winter season coming up!!

bridgerton au under the cut

bridgerton au excerpt:

As they walked back into the party with his hand on the Duke’s arm, Castiel could feel everyone’s eyes on them. Mostly surprise and curiosity, with a few glares thrown in from the ladies he had seen surrounding the Duke earlier. They made their way to the dance floor and Castiel felt at a loss for what to do. It was as though every dance step had left his mind. “Stare into my eyes,” the Duke’s voice interrupted his thoughts.  He looked up and found the Duke smiling softly at him. The picture of an interested lover. Clearly, the Duke was a better actor than he had anticipated. Castiel hoped he would be able to keep up his end of the facade. “Here,” he held out his gloved hand and Castiel took it. The Duke pulled him in, “Closer.” His whisper was warm in Castiel's ear, “If this is to work, we must appear madly in love.” Castiel felt a strange flutter in his stomach. 

They began to dance and it was all very easy. Their feet flowed across the floor and the Duke’s green eyes looked at him adoringly the entire time. Castiel felt himself blushing but did not hide it. It would play perfectly into their scheme. If he enjoyed himself while they were playing pretend, well, where was the harm in that?

--

outline:

honestly it basically just follows the storyline of s1 of the show. with slight changes to account for who's related to who and to fit with the spn characters we know.

i'm not 100% if i'll finish this one, or if i do end up working on it more, i think i'll have to redo a lot of it. right now it's too similar to the show and i don't like au's to essentially be the same but with character names changed. but i LOVE a good period piece so maybe when the mood strikes me i'll get back into this one!

[Meanwhile in the Bunker] Mick & Castiel: *enters room under mistletoe* Crowley: Well, I guess, now, you have to kiss. Mick: What? *looks up* Oh, how foolish of me? *turns to face Cas, looking dreamily* Castiel: *gets shot numerous times until he falls to the side* Dean: WHY THE HELL DID YOU SHOOT MY HUSBAND?! Sam: *holding Dean back* Dean, calm down! He didn't really hurt him. Cas is an Angel. He'll heal. Ketch: Well, tell your Angel, to stay away from my husband or I will use something more lethal next time. Sam: Ketch, you're not helping. Crowley: Well, things just got interesting. Castiel: *standing up* If it will make you happy, I will stay away. Dean: No, don't you dare listen to him! Jack: *running down stairs* I heard gunshots! Who's hurt?! Mick: Can you guys stop fighting over me? I'm not a prize to be won. And I won't be swayed by anyone. Sam, Castiel, & Ketch: *internally suffers*

I love this idea, because there is absolutely no reason why the angel siblings cannot be spaced out in age in this AU. And while some are around Michael’s age---full grown adults---others can easily fall into the 11-14 years-old-age range. Young enough to overhear the older siblings joking about Michael’s alleged love life in conversation, and get way too caught up in the mystery of it, to the point where it’s almost a game the kids are playing around the boring grown-ups’ holiday party. 

Obviously, Cas needs to be a full grown adult, because Dean’s whole subplot revolves around the two of them meeting on day one, and then Dean spending the rest of the weekend trying to find him again in the crowd, like some sort of watered down, shoe-less Cinderella story. Ideally, I’d like to keep Balthazar and Anna in roughly the same age range as well, for the sake of having people there to haze Dean along the way, should that subplot develop any further. But other angel characters are fair game!

The idea just makes me want to draft out a whole chapter that’s just this group of younger teens trying to lure Michael and Adam and then Michael and the Ghoul under a sprig of mistletoe to figure out which one must be the The Boyfriend based on the amount of hesitation when they kiss. 

One sibling who’s closer to 14---perhaps Anael---will be there saying, “No, don’t do that, that’s stupid.”

But they are easily drown out by another sibling who is way more loud and dramatic---like Metatron---and they totally do it, and then get into debates, texting each other from around corners and behind potted plants to talk about how comfortable Michael and Adam were with each other when they found themselves under the mistletoe, and the way that Michael melted into it, and how they lingered there together for awhile, while Adam stroked the side of Michael’s face and asked how he was holding up. That could ONLY be boyfriend behavior! 

But then Team Scraggly One counters when they finally manage to get Michael and the Ghoul into position, and they talk about the palpable tension between these two, how the space between them was practically crackling with electricity when Michael recognized where they were standing and pointed up at the infamous bundle of greenery overhead. And how much longer the kiss had lasted after it started---it was like they were trying to communicate through physical contact alone, up until when it looked like Raphael was about to come walking down the hall, and Michael practically threw the Ghoul behind himself, like a little kid trying to hide a stray cat they’d smuggled into the house. 

The debates, however, took an unexpected turn when it turned out that it wasn’t Raphael coming to join them, it was Adam. And after Michael walked away, the Ghoul dragged Adam under the mistletoe and kissed him too, and all the siblings were left speechless. 

At least, up until Adam and the Ghoul eventually walk away, at which point Zachariah knows exactly which word he wants to use: “WHORE!”

The only question is, who exactly is the cheating whore? And the debates start up anew. Only to stop when Thaddeus, the sibling Lucifer refers to as his mini me, throws out, “What if Michael’s the whore?”

He is then exiled from the kids’ table.

💋  ─  be caught standing under the mistletoe (Elliot and Dean; mxrvelouscreations)

Dean knew that Elliot had spent the last few days decorating the bunker while Dean was off on an easy hunt. He had called and texted Elliot the entire time he was gone to make sure the other was comfortable in the bunker alone. Of course Cas would pop in and check on the other while Dean was busy, so he wasn't too worried. And last he heard, Eliot was decoration a tree that Cas went out and got for the bunker. He really didn't know what to expect when he arrived back, but Christmas throwing up all over the bunker was not one of them. "Elliot!" He called out as he slowly made his way down the stairs. he made his way tot he main doorway when he felt the other jump on him and attach his lips to Deans." He grunted softly, dropping his bag before his arms wrapped tightly around Elliot and kissing the other back. When he pulled from the kiss he looked up and chuckled at the mistletoe above their heads. "Good to see you too, baby boy." He pressed a kiss to Elliot's lips before he had a good look around the room. "Does it all have to stay up?"
