Happy first of December!!! And what better way to start it off with some Rollow!

-------------------------------------------------

"C'mon please" the taller begged the dark haired man sitting in front of his computer; it was the 1st of December, the air was cold outside and many shops were very festive already (and had been for ages). "No, I'm not helping you this early into December!" The shorter resorted not even turning around to face his boyfriend who stood in the doorway of his room, "Scrooge" the other mumbled before leaving the room but left the door open. Several minutes later a loud bang and several curses were heard from the living room, "Aaron?" the brunet at his computer called out, worry clear in his voice but he still didn't move from his chair. "Yeah?" Aaron shouted back causing the smaller, Josh, to let out a breath he didn't know he was holding "you alright?" Josh asked slightly less worried but still got up and stood I'm his doorway to see what the other was doing. Several boxes were emptied of their contents which were lying in a mess on the floor, coloured fairy lights littered the ground along with tacky tinsel and window stickers in the shape of snowflakes.

"You're finally out I see" Aaron said smartly, dragging out the word 'finally' for emphasis, he knew his boyfriend would have in some time. "Yeah yeah I'm out. Do you need any help with anything?" Josh asked almost annoyingly if it weren't for the smirk on his face, "um you could start untangling the fairy lights if you like" Aaron suggested as he poured the rest of the boxes contents onto the floor. Josh took the hint and decided to help put up the decorations, he took one end of the fairy lights and Aaron took the other. Several minutes later the fairy lights were even more tangled and the two had frustration clear on their faces, "okay I quit" was unexpected grumble from Aaron's mouth as he dropped the lights and over dramatically fell to the ground on his knees.

Josh stood there, fingers still entangled in the wires and lights, but looked down at the taller in almost surprise however he continued to work away at the tangled lights. "What are you doing?" Aaron asked as the other fumbled and pulled at the wires, getting somewhere but only very slowly, "isn't it obvious" Josh sarcastically stated as he smirked at the same time. "Okay get up, you're not helping!" Josh ordered as he outstretched his arms, the wires going with them, and the other got up from the floor; "right, grab this" he told Aaron while holding the wires behind him and above his head. Aaron made his way around the other and grabbed the wires, Josh ducked out from in front of his boyfriend and round to the other lights on the floor. Minuets later, and lots of patients, the two lay on the floor but with the fairy lights finally untangled. "I told you I knew what I was doing" Josh spoke smugly, "no you did not! You're just a control freak!" Aaron pushed the other further away from him but only for him to edge his way closer again.

"So where are these going to go then, since you want your control back" Josh asked as he came to a stand, "um I didn't think this far to be honest" Aaron spoke sheepishly still sitting on the ground. "How about..." Josh trailed off as he gathered the fairy lights in his hands and began to wrap them around his boyfriend; "I think that's perfect" he said playfully but Aaron only frowned over dramatically. "No! I'm not a Christmas tree!" Aaron shouted, "hey no one said you were a Christmas tree, I just think you look pretty like this" Josh explained. "Wait one second" Josh told the other when he attempted to move, he followed the lead of the lights until he found the plug; "no please don't" Aaron begged but it was too late Josh had plugged the multicoloured lights in and they lit up around his boyfriend. "Aw that's so pretty! You're so pretty!" Josh squealed sarcastically but with an under tone of actual love for the man currently on the floor covered in fairy lights before him; Aaron just gave an over the top cheesy smile towards the other, a one where he tilted his head and squinted his eyes. "You adorable fuck you" Josh laughed and he began to walk away, "no you can't leave me here alone, I won't survive!" Aaron groaned as he squirmed to get out of the lights.

Josh spun around on his heels and glanced expectantly at the other who struggled with the lights, finally getting them up and over his head. "No! You've tangled them again" Josh exclaimed faking anger while he walked over and past the other to the lights, setting them out delicately again. "Hey they wouldn't be tangled again if you didn't put them on me!" Aaron argued whilst getting off the floor, "now I think I'd like the lights around the window" he said making his decision while looking admiringly at the spot. "Well if you want them around the window, you can put them around the window, I'm going back to my computer" Josh said as he begun to leave the room but was stopped short by his boyfriends arms wrapping around his waist, "m'kay have fun" and with that Aaron let him leave the room but he didn't move at all.

Josh turned around as Aaron began to lift up the fairy lights but quickly dropped them as weight was thrown onto his back, more specifically the weight of his boyfriend. Josh had thrown himself onto the other wrapping his arms around his neck; they both fell to the ground with a loud thud, Josh laying atop of Aaron. Aaron laughed breathlessly, "so decided not to go after all" he whispered; "well you know I may have changed my mind and decided to help you" Josh admitted sheepishly and have his boyfriend a peck on the cheek. They climbed to a stand and within minuets had pretty fairy lights decorating the outskirts of the window. "There I'm done, I helped!" Josh stated victoriously as he threw himself down on the sofa, "so you aren't going to help with the window stickers then" Aaron spoke from behind him, draped across the back of the sofa. "Uh fine I will just give me ten seconds and come join me" Josh requested as he patted the free spot next to him which Aaron gladly accepted and snuggled up towards the other. The sun soon began to set but the two remained still on the sofa, Josh leaning his head on Aaron's shoulder slowly drifting between being awake and asleep; "you know what, we can finished decorating tomorrow" Aaron said in a hushed voice before changing the channel on the TV and allowing his boyfriend to fall asleep.
