Work Text:

“That doesn’t go there,” David snaps, slapping Stevie’s hand away as she tries to stick a green M&M on the roof of the gingerbread house.

This was absolutely a mistake and David cannot believe he let himself be talked into this.

Patrick tricked him with wistfully nostalgic stories of delicious gingerbread and whimsically decorated houses. Now everything they own is covered in powdered sugar and David is on his last nerve.

“Oh, I’m sorry, does it not match your mood board?” Stevie shoves a handful of candy in her mouth. Patrick snorts and David glares at him, betrayed.

“I know you’re mocking me, but no, it does not,” David huffs. “I notice you’ve barely started your side. I’m going to win.”

“It’s not a competition, David.” Patrick grins and there’s a smear of icing on his lips, which David leans forward to kiss off.

Stevie groans. She dumps the entire bag of M&Ms on the house. The ones that don’t stick go clattering to the kitchen floor. “I win.” She grabs her wine and retreats to the living room.

David looks over at Patrick, who just smiles fondly, grabs the Red Vines and David’s hand and follows her.
