“Oh. Wow.” Hayes had no idea how to respond to the scene that had unfolded in Malcolm’s quarters. The tinsel around the headboard was nice, he figured, but something about the sharp, pointed bulbs hanging from the ceiling was… concerning, to say the least.

“Don’t see much of anything this far out. Candy cane?” He offered a big one, still intact despite the rough travels they had faced since leaving spacedock.
Hayes moved to take it, stepping across the threshold of the door. Once within the quarters, everything seemed to intensify, becoming even more in-your-face than they had been from the hallway. Malcolm wore an exceptionally smug grin, and it only took Hayes a second to realize why. He groaned, more annoyed at getting tricked than anything. But Hayes still met him halfway and reveled in the sweetness of the moment.
