Winter Blessings || Merry Christmas ♡
Hello everyone! I haven't written for this fandom in a VERY long time but my inspiration to come back for a little was fueled by the lovely @griffincastle! This was for a little trade we're doing, along with bringing some Christmas cheer to everyone that's left in the wreckage of Tag.
Please enjoy this Primis RiDe with a little extra darling with them ♡
Winter. Such a peaceful time of the year, one of Edward’s favorites considering how beautiful the world seemed to get, even if the snow was a pain to shovel from his driveway and the sidewalks. Edward didn't need to worry about that, he knew Tank wouldn't let him do that even if he asked, plus it gave him a nice view of Tank working out in the snow with that big shovel and his big muscles. It made him blush, thinking about how much time and effort he put into making sure he got everything he could.
Even so, who could forget one of the best holidays of the year? It had been one of his favorites since he was a small child, and he was happy that now he could share his traditions with the two most wonderful people in the world.
“Dada! Papa! Wake up, wake uppppppp!!!”
A familiar, small voice calls out to them as Edward is the first to stir from his dreamless mind, rubbing his drowsy eyes as a yawn escapes his lips. Small hands shake his legs as he sits up a bit to reveal his cute blonde daughter, her huge puppy eyes staring up at him as he smiles. He physically can’t say no to a face like that, holding out his arms so she scoots her way into his lap, giving him a warm loving embrace.
“Good morning, sunshine. What’s got you all hyper this morning? Excited?”
Reaching for his glasses, little Daisy nodded eagerly as she took this opportunity to wake up her father, who was still very knocked out in bed as she shook his arm and squished his face. Edward only allowed her to do so as he watched her tiny hands pat his chubby cheeks, a soft groan leaving him as he cracked his eyes open. He can tell it’s still early in the morning just by how sluggish he felt, his vision revealing his adorable adopted daughter and his handsome husband staring down at him.
“Dada! It's Christmas! I want you to help me with my presents!!"
Stretching and letting his legs shake a bit, he smoothed his wrinkled shirt and sat up to grab her and hold her, Edward slipping out of bed to stretch properly before stepping into his fluffy pink slippers. Daisy happily slid off the bed and gave him puppy eyes to pick her up, only obligated to as he smooches her cheeks. This was their first Christmas with their daughter, after all, so they planned to make everything extra special. They spent Christmas Eve making cookies for ‘Santa’ and she even wrote a full-length, Crayola doodled letter to the man, Tank and Edward finding it sweet that what she wanted most of all was to have a wonderful Christmas with her parents.
Daisy clung to her father as Edward made it down the stairs first to go brew some hot cocoa, pushing his glasses up with a finger as he collected three mugs and the ingredients to make it, humming the Christmas Carols that played as a somewhat sweet ambiance in the living room. The tree, even if not lit up like it was normally at night, was still bright and absolutely loaded with handmade ornaments and lights. Different sizes of presents lay under the tree, stockings hung above the fireplace stuffed with goodies and treats as Daisy squealed in happiness.
Carefully carrying a tray of fresh hot cocoa and marshmallows, Edward made himself comfortable on the couch beside Tank as Daisy dived for her gifts, shaking the boxes and beginning to open them in excitement. A lot of those gifts were from the two of them, the others from her ‘uncles’ Takeo and Nikolai, along with a few extras from Maxis and Sophia. Her smiling face was enough to give them the answers they wanted, already playing with a few of her toys as Edward leaned against Tank. His heart felt warm like he was complete all over again as the sweet smells of firewood and pine cones filled his nose, drifting with the scent of hot chocolate and warm marshmallows.
“Isn’t this just a dream come true, Tank? That we’re together, our lovely daughter so very happy and the snow outside making everything look so surreal. I feel like I’m in a storybook,” he spoke, setting his drink down and just cuddling into the side of his chubby lover, who turned his head to place a kiss on his forehead.
“We are in a storybook, Edward. Story of our life, with our daughter as the princess of the land and her parents the noblest kings of the land.”
“Dada and Papa are my kings! Am I a pretty princess, Papa?”
Her words made them both chuckle, responding with an ‘of course’ as she went back to playing with her dolls. Samantha would most likely be coming over soon as well, so both of them would have fun with their new gifts. Giggling at the soft kisses Tank happily gave him, a smile crosses his face.
Winter always had always made him feel so warm, even if it was cold, and he loved it endlessly.
