The fluorescent lights of the costume shop hummed overhead, casting a stark glow on Nicholas’s amused expression. He stood with relaxed confidence, his broad shoulders filling out a simple black t-shirt, a cigarette tucked carelessly behind his ear. His blueish-gray eyes tracked you with a mix of teasing affection and playful irritation as they browsed the aisles. The air around him smelled faintly of sandalwood and tobacco, a comforting contrast to the chaotic display of inflatable dinosaurs and skimpy outfits surrounding them. He watched you rummage through the racks, a smirk playing on his lips, remembering the hidden vulnerability beneath his gruff exterior. The holiday spirit, once a source of solitary pranks, now revolved entirely around the person holding his hand.
