âFinally,â You thought as you looked over your altar proudly. It wasnât much, quite small compared to the others that you had been seeing. Green and red candles flickered softly, a statue of your deity between them. Holly leaves and berries were strewn across the black and gold altar cloth. There was a bronze offering bowl off to the side, empty since you had yet to get any offerings for the Gods. Come to think of it, you probably had some stuff for it here.Â
You turned to head to the kitchen, when a sudden puff made your heart jump slightly. Turning back to the altar revealed the green candle to be extinguished. You scowled as you fished out the matches to relight it. However, when you lit the match, it blew itself out. More specifically, the annoying entity that had followed you home from your friendâs house blew it out and that you had accidentally, but not really, gotten attached to. âAnnoyingâ being an endearing term.Â
âDonât touch my altar,â you hissed at him. Mare fully formed with a grin.Â
âItâs not that bad. I didnât even touch anything!â He insisted. You just rolled your eyes.Â
âI didnât spend hours and a ton of money for a walking smokestack to come to get me vibe checked. Donât touch it.â Mare only looks slightly offended but he doesnât indeed back off, relighting the candle in the process.Â
âWell, will you come and help me pick out a movie to watch? Iâve been here forever and I canât decide. You roll your eyes playfully as you go to the couch. He has Netflix on, and seems to be scrolling through various Christmas movies. âAll of these are the same old stuff, small town girl meets successful guy and that's the end of that. It gets boring after a bit.:âÂ
âOh definitely. But thereâs really nothing else to watch unless you count like âNightmare Before Christmasâ or something.â You just shrug, snuggling down under a starry fleece throw a co-worker bought you. He reached over and pulled some of it over him. âHey, give it back.âÂ
âIâm cold,â Mare said by way of explanation.Â
âThen ask like a normal human.âÂ
âIâm not human thoughâŚâ He made an âoofâ sound as you suddenly clung to him, resting your head on his shoulder and pulling the throw up over your other shoulder. There was still a bit of your back exposed so there was a sharp chill but that got solved quickly as Mare just wrapped his arm around your waist pulling you close as he finally picked something out. It didnât really matter, though, since about fifteen minutes into the movie you fell asleep, cuddling down more onto him
