"Just call him.” Angel called out to him with a mild tone of annoyance to his voice.

Dominic didn’t respond, simply staring emptily into the air, phone pressed to his chin. He wasn’t sure how long he was sitting there, overthinking the whole thing probably. An unnecessary amount of overthinking no doubt. Finally he moved and next thing he knew, his phone was making the sound of calling someone. It took until the third ring that he finally pressed the phone to his ear.

When he heard the ringing stop, as if someone had just picked up, he spoke into the phone. “V--Vic? Uh -- hi! It’s um, Dominic. From last night?” Of course he knew it was last night, you idiot.

It’s a good thing Vic couldn’t see how nervous he was. Angel was certainly amused!

Funny how despite the bar being so busy, none of it bothered Dominic or even phased him. His attention was on the man behind the bar, taking occasional glances at him though he was sure that Vic didn’t see him.

Finally when he felt him look over in his direction, he did what he could to grab his attention. Not call out to him, or a wink, or even a subtle smirk  -- he did something that only Vic could catch from him.

A dumb face, as if it was only them in that room.

This year was probably his most festive he's been for Christmas, even when he still had a family to huddle around with. It was odd -- but felt fine. Better even -- than to just ignore everything going on around him as he usually did. It was an effect of having Vic around.

Which was who he wanted to surprise. He made him a gift, made, he was sure not to tell Axel that part or else he would never hear the end of it. Especially with what he made him. Before he would give it, however, he would greet the other with an eager but deep kiss on the lips, sneaking an arm around his waist. An undeniable smile playing on his lips.

    " Feliz Navidad, mi vida. "

He slid his hand into Vics in the middle of the gesture.

It was a long night. Longer than he would've liked. Then again, how could he expect anything less when he divulged such a big secret. What made it worse was the continuous pile on from Vic, something that came out of left field. Still, they were in each others arms, albeit, completely and utterly emotionally drained but they were still there.

After everything that happened, Dominic only figured he should do something nice for Vic. So, he slipped out of bed after he felt the morning light beam down on his face. He was extra careful not to wake him up. Once out, he went ahead and made some breakfast. Mostly for Vic. There was a little on the side for Dominic, but his hunger was gone from last night.

He came into the room, tray in hand and a plate with huevos rancheros and bacon. There could've been more but Dominics cooking knowledge was nowhere near Vics.

" Hey... you awake? "

He could've swore there was movement from Vic.

A whole day off and not a single bit of paper work done, and yet Dominic didn't care at all given how perfect the day went. A surprise take-out dinner that went as well as you could imagine followed by a... distraction of sorts with Vic, which shouldn't have been a surprise.

The time had slipped past him and the two were starting to get ready to retire for the night, going through their usual nightly rituals before they huddle next to each for warmth.

A silence fell over Dominic as he was brushing his teeth. Silence brought by a thought that crossed his mind. In the midst of their passion, his lycanthropy peered it's ugly head. Nothing surprising, happens every now and then but... it happening so often, it was beginning to wear on Dominic. How much more happier he could be with Vic if he just told him.

He perked his head up from the sink, hearing something from the other room.

" Were ya calling me? " The toothbrush still in his mouth and his words garbled by the toothpaste.
