12 Days of Jalim | Day 11: Mistletoe

Looks like someone got caught under the mistletoe at the Kings’ annual christmas party 🎄

At least their friends are being super normal about it and minding their business and not making it weird at all or anything right?

(enjoy the little chibi Nick, Eric, and Rachel I ended up not using)

_______________________________

Salim gently mixed in the remaining contents of the warm drink in front of him. It was late. Probably past midnight by now. Though it was dim and quiet, the warm comfort of the kitchen had eased him. He sighed deeply, taking a sip of the now tepid drink. He relaxed his shoulders the minute he tasted the sweet, rich chocolate. There was a stirring sound that echoed  behind him and suddenly a familiar voice spoke out. 

“You too, huh?” 

A worried look crossed his face as he saw Jason emerge from their bedroom. 

“I hope I did not wake you, Habibi…” 

Jason smiled as he made his way toward Salim. He stood behind him as he gently wrapped his arms around Salim’s waist. He leaned his head against Salim’s shoulder and gently pressed a tender kiss at the base of his neck. 

“Nah, just the fuckin’ dreams again.��

Salim smiled, letting his free hand rest where Jason's now was. 

“And what about you?” 

Salim sighed, taking another sip of his drink as he tried to recall the previous events. 

“I can hear ya thinkin’, Salim” 

Jason let his breath fall against Salim’s neck, causing goosebumps to crawl up his arms. 

He set down his drink on the counter and put both arms around Jason's. 

“The terrors…I saw them again. And the demons…they got to you,” Salim said in a shaky voice. 

Jason released his grasp on Salim just enough to turn and face him. He sighed, as he kept hold of Salim’s waist. 

“Dream’s got to you too then,” Jason said in a worried voice. 

Salim ducked his head thinking back on it. 

“Look, I ain’t goin’ nowhere,” he said smiling. He rested his palm against Salim’s cheek, encouraging him to look up. 

Salim smiled a little, creasing his brow. 

“We’re outta that hellhole and here where it’s safe. You and me.” Jason smiled, lovingly. 

“And that’s all that matters.” 

Salim smiled back, locking his gaze onto the man across from him. 

He held Jason’s hand against his cheek as their lips gently pressed together. He parted his lips invitingly until Jason pulled away, licking his lips as if to taste something.

“Is that-” he licked his lips some more. 

“Is that hot chocolate I taste?” 

“Oh. Yes, I made some right before you woke up.” Salim said looking over to the empty cup he left on the counter. 

“Would you like me to make you some?”

Jason smirked, glancing down at Salims lips.

“Nah, I think I got all I need right here.”

12 Days of Jalim: Hot Chocolate

this will probably be my only contribution to the season :( I have some bigger fics in the works

fic under the cut and happy holidays

Salim jumped out of bed.

Raising a child made him a light sleeper, just in case something like this happens.

He raced out of his room and followed the sounds of screaming.

They weren't coming from Zain's room, thankfully, and that fact eased his mind slightly.

Slightly.

The noise led him to the kitchen, stopping as he watched the scene with confusion.

Jason stood shirtless as Zain pressed a cloth to his back.

“You're an idiot, I hope you know that.”

“Y’know damn well that you put the handle right where I'd run into it.”

“Did not!”

“Did too!”

“Well your dumbass didn't see it!”

“YOUR DUMBASS JUST FAILED A GROUP PROJECT!”

“DON’T YOU DARE BRING THAT UP!  That was not my fault, thank you!  In fact, our professor is giving that one girl time to make up her portion, so I didn't technically fail it yet.”  He smacked Jason in the head with the rag, continuing, “Remember who is helping who here.”

“Your dad's gon’ be pissed that you knocked those glasses over.”

“No, Baba has the philosophy that cups and shit are replaceable, but I’m not.”

“80% sure he could go adopt some other shithead kid.”

“I'll beat your ass.”

“I'd like to see you try!”

Salim squeezed his eyes shut as he loudly sighed.

“G’Mornin’ Salim,” Jason greeted with a smile.

“Baba, your boyfriend's being mea-”

“You started it!”

“Will you two, please, shut up.”  Salim knew that their bickering was friendly, all in good fun, but it could be annoying. Especially if it interrupts his sleep.  “Why were you screaming?  And which one of you was it?”

"Baba, after last night you should remember what Jason's screaming sounds like," He joked as Salim groaned.

Despite high-fiving Zain, Jason craned his neck to unsuccessfully face him.  “Someone left the handle of the pot stickin’ out, so I got a back covered with boilin’ water.”

“We were going to make your tea, and we wanted hot chocolate.”

“Which you should use milk for.”

“That is not what's important right now,” Zain hissed.

Salim contemplated turning around and going back to bed, but instead, he asked, “Did you at least mop the mess?”

“Yeah, swept and mopped,” Jason replied with a small nod.

At least he was smiling through the pain.  Surely that means the burn isn't too bad, right?

“Go sit down, and Zain, go…  Do whatever.  I will make your hot chocolate.”  

Salim followed Jason as Zain scampered off, asking, “Are you okay?”

Jason shrugged.  “Not the worst thin’ that's happened.  I'm straight.”

“You weren't last night.”

“EEEWWWWWWW,” Zain dramatically screamed as he entered the living room.  

“Just ‘cause you ain't got play don't mean it's nasty, kid.”

Zain scoffed before leaving again, closing his door with more force than necessary.  

“Why were you making my tea?”

“I wanted to wake you up with a nice surprise.”

Salim appreciated that, but definitely wasn't impressed with the attempt.

Jason and kitchens don't mix, he knew that.

“Why did you try?”

“‘Cause Zain was there to help!”

“Did you at least turn the burner off?”

Jason nodded, slightly hanging his head.  He knew it wouldn't have worked but any chance to bond with Zain was a chance he'd take.  Instead, he just made a fool of himself, two glasses broke, and he wasted time.  

Salim stood up and offered a hand.  “Let's just go back to sleep and try this later.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

#12daysofjalim | Day 6: Cookies

The only reason this batch of cookies turned out as good as they did was thanks to Nick stepping in before Jason could burn the entire kitchen down.
