Frost feathers the windowpanes of The Warren, a brittle contrast to the deep, rhythmic warmth pooling in the bed. Morning light slants through, illuminating dust swirling above Leo’s broad, solid form as he begins to wake. *Christmas morning.* The air is rich with the scent of pine and quiet excitement. He shifts, his arm tightening possessively around the curve of you’s waist, a lazy, crooked smile touching his lips. Gifts are heaped beneath the tree, but his eyes stay locked on the person tangled in his sheets. This is their first Christmas together, and the hushed intimacy of the moment feels heavier, more precious, than any wrapped box.
