Poly Reaper76 and their first holiday season [back] together?
a/n: here you go, sweetie, sorry for the delay in getting this out. i ended the request on a bit of a hopeful note so i hope that’s okay!!
It’s difficult. You could feel the tension in the air, and at the drop of a hat it could all just come back and bite all three of you in the ass. But Jack and Gabe are tired, you’re tired, and despite everything all three of you are trying.
Trying being the keyword, and mostly end up frustrated with the other making you want to tear your hair out.
It’s a rough start, what with getting the three of you into the same home. The same room, or even an arm's length near one another.
Talks of the old happy days make all of you upset, closing yourself off to go and do something else. Wishing that you could all just get along for a few minutes to do something other than just look so sad at what the other has become and what happened in the past.
All three of you note how much colder the separate beds feel when the other’s you’d share it with are so close, yet so far away. None of you are able to get a restful nights sleep.
Not a single one of you will admit that you couldn’t sleep because the beds felt cold and that you missed having the other in the same bed with you. You all just played it off as something else and set about doing whatever was planned for today.
Outings are a little bit nicer, biting tones switched out for something softer, more closer to heart that brings a small to your faces.
Standing there, bags in their hands, banter and words not near as sharp and hateful as usual. You smiled, maybe just maybe everything can work out. This could work out between all three of you again.
