30 Day Writing Challenge // Ryllon [PART THREE]

Day 16: Christmas Tree

"No, no, I'm telling you, we always put on gold before the silver!" Ryan argues with his fiancé.

"Why would we put gold before silver? The song goes silver and gold, not gold and silver!"

"What song?"

"You know, that... that one Christmas song!" 

"Until you find that song, we're doing silver over gold."

"Gold is superior to silver, if we do silver over gold, it'll... it'll be like a princess sitting in the throne with the queen standing instead."

"Isn't that how most photos are?"

"No, oh my god," Dallon says, burying his face in his hands. There's a knock on the door.

"We're doing silver over gold," Ryan says, handing Dallon the tinsel. Dallon sighs and begins draping the tinsel around the tree.

Ryan signs the many packages, carrying them in one by one as Dallon decorates the tree. Once they're inside, he opens them and takes the items out. Dallon finishes, then grabs his tea and takes a sip.

"See? It looks perfect, even more with the star and then the ornaments," Ryan says, their arms around each other as Ryan rests his head on Dallon's chest, both looking at the tree.

"That's because I put gold over silver," Dallon says, takes a sip of his tea, then walks away. He laughs at Ryan's defeated look, then stands on his knees on the chair behind Ryan and kisses Ryan's cheek.

"I love you."

"Yeah, whatever," Ryan says, and Dallon laughs some more.
