Christmas Prince admits to having risked war crimes all because of corset vests, black eyeliner, and the things that the Halloween Prince can do with his tongue.
No, it’ll have to be simple. Sometimes simplicity is all we need. Something like:
Prince Coal of Christmas is inexhaustibly in love with Prince Hex of Halloween.
Yeah. I think that fits best of all.

I kiss him again, a clumsy layering over of our smiles, and we’re laughing and this, here, is my victory. He is my spoil of war, the most vital piece in my new-forming foundation.
Joy creates magic.
I have never believed that more than with him.

“Iris, I love you. Will you do me the honor of not marrying me, today, or ever?”
She grins. “Coal. I love you too. And from this day forth, I promise to never marry you.”

That’s the root of why this is all so deep: love.
Love is the most petrifying collision I’ve ever experienced. Loving Hex, loving Christmas, it’s destroying me and I think this is why I resisted my role in Christmas for so long, because I always knew that when I fell, I’d fall with my whole being.

“It’s destructive how much I want you. You’re going to pull me apart.”
“Maybe you could do with being pulled apart,” he whispers.

His smile makes me want to swear my soul to whatever god created him.

bro is so smitten omg

im actually really happy with myself for reading this right before christmas
