16. Christmas Tree

16. CHRISTMAS TREE

16th of December

Off came into the big room where the real huge Christmas Tree was already standing. He didn't make it in time to be there when Gun watched over the staff to move it in the right place because he had an interview to do outside the building. He only could enjoy Jennie's description of how the small guy was ordering them around like a boss still unsatisfied with tree position.

" He really is some sort of a Christmas monster." she summarized laughing. " Gun told me you will take care of the decorations. They are all in boxes on the shelf, you know in which room?"

" Yup. I'm done for now with my work and going to check them right away." Off touched the tree and felt the difference of the real needles which could hurt some delicate hands.

" But don't put them on, Gun would go really mad if you did."

" Yeah, yeah. He already threatened me with those angry rabbit stickers. Scary." Off snorted and smiled.

" True, little and scary. " Jennie laughed and left to her office. 

Off went to get the decorations, he easily found two average size boxes with Christmas pattern put on the highest shelf. He chuckled imaging the small guy being in charge of getting them. Off easily took one of the boxes and a brilliant idea came into his mind.

Using free hand he quickly closed the doors.

Then he dropped the box.

The sound of a glass breaking overwhelmed the small room.

Then another wave of glass breaking.

He opened the box to check content then took the picture of it and sent it to Gun no hiding his smile. 

" We have to do some shopping." he wrote.

Off got an immediate response " What the hell?! How could they all break?!"

Then Off gladly informed Gun that he would arrive at the mall where the small guy was now on the event, then they would go buy all needed items. 

Gun could only agree.

" I'm almost sure this basket is more filled than that two boxes." Off sighed rubbing his temple seeing Gun holding another pack of red ball ornaments. " Aren't you going overboard?"

The small guy ignored the comment and went straight to the shelf with lights. The decision if they should pick classic, snowflakes or angels ones was really tough to make, at least for him. Off seeing him helpless took the snowflakes and put them in the basket.

" Isn't that all?" he turned around to see Gun still wandering around the shelves.

" We need the star."

Gun moved quickly to another shelf and saw the perfect star for their Christmas Tree. He stood on his tiptoes to reach it but it was still a few centimeters above his hand. Then he saw Off's hand easily grabbing it, Gun turned around to feel him unexpectedly close, he felt chills on his spine and his heart skipped a beat.

" This one?"

Off didn't seem to move away if he didn't give him any response but Gun was now a bit mindless because the tall guy's scent around him was distracting and his presence, he was certainly too close. Off repeated the question smiling broadly with his eyes focused on the small guy's red cheeks then moving them to meet his shy stare.

Finally, Gun nodded. But it was more like he couldn't bear having the eye contact from that close distance and just moved his stare to the floor rather than just saying yes.

Off felt an urge to do something seeing Gun's adorable shyness but held back having in his mind that they were in the damn shop by the Christmas decorations shelves. He moved away to put the star into the basket. 

" So it's really all, right?" 

Gun cleared his throat and spoke " I guess. That's should be enough."

" Okay, let's go." Off smiled satisfied seeing Gun avoiding his stare, looking all over around but not at him, still wearing a slight blush. That view was way better than some stupid emoji. Off enjoyed that thought.

They paid for the shopping and somehow managed to put it all in three big bags. Then they placed it all in Off's car.

" Do you need a ride?" the tall guy was somewhat hoping they could spend more time together.

" No, thanks but I'm by car."

" Alright. See you tomorrow." he ruffled Gun's bangs and passed him.

As Off got in the car he could still see in his mirrors that the small guy was walking away touching his head where his hand was a minute ago and turning around a few times. Broadly smiling he couldn't wait for the next day.
