"oh wow," he observes, blues trailing up and down the cindy styled tree and watching her go manning it so effortlessly, "glad one of us is good at this. up to me– i'd put the red in the all the wrong places and a beer can for the top piece." a rotten laugh emits. though, he really didn't find he ever gave two shits towards stuff like this, but he had to admit– he could see cindy had a way and an eye for it. it was impressive, even as she rambled on about something about symmetry. a smirk curled his face, "yeah, sure," arm lifted up, going ahead and putting the lights the way she wants. doing his best, even if he's a little more sloppier than her at it. "i think cindy, you already are." blues playfully rolled, she might as well be classified as a tree stylist. "you should go around doing this for people for extra money for sure." she could advertise it in the newspaper or pass around flyers with her phone number on it, people would definitely be calling her up he thinks. "chic, what?" he confusingly asks, another moment of not understanding cindy palmer vocabulary. girl vocabulary. taking a seat, he deems this tree as already going all out since it looks a million times better than the poor excuse one susan puts up.

🎄: for our muses to decorate a Christmas tree together

the stereo crackled as “rockin’ around the christmas tree” played softly in the background, giving the room a warm, cozy buzz. cindy stepped back, tilting her head as she studied the tree in front of her. it was coming together, but not quite there yet. “the gold ornaments need to go higher,” she said thoughtfully, gesturing vaguely with one hand as she picked up another strand of tinsel. “they’re getting lost in the middle with all that red. it’s too heavy down there.” she looped the tinsel around her hands and stretched it out, testing its sparkle in the light. satisfied, she tossed it lightly onto a bare spot, fluffing it into place. “see?” she said, glancing over her shoulder with a grin. “that’s balance. symmetry. well, almost symmetry.” her tone was playful but decisive, the same voice she used when critiquing a Glamour Shots photoshoot. she leaned over the ornament box, carefully pulling out a bright blue bauble with glittery swirls. it caught the blinking tree lights in a way that made her smile. “this one’s my favorite,” she announced, holding it up for a second before finding the perfect spot near the top. “a pop of color—unexpected but not out of place. it’s like... the cherry on top.” reaching for another ornament, she glanced at the tree again and wrinkled her nose slightly. “but the lights...” she trailed off, adjusting a strand of them near the middle. “they’re too bunched up there. can you—” she gestured toward the other side, assuming he’d know what she meant. “spread them out a little? they need to look... effortless. not like we tried too hard, you know?”

she stepped back again, crossing her arms as she admired their work so far. her sweater slipped off her shoulder, but she didn’t bother fixing it, too absorbed in the project. “this is actually turning out really good,” she said, the corners of her mouth quirking up. “like, good enough that if i ever quit glamour shots, i might have a future as a tree stylist.” she smirked, her voice light with playful sarcasm but clearly proud of what they were creating. another glance at the box of ornaments, and she grabbed a tiny gold bell, spinning it between her fingers. “so, do we go all out? or do we stop here and call it chic minimalism?” she teased, arching a brow as she looked over at him and envisioning how pretty it would look glowing with a garland of string lights around it.

001. under the mistletoe, placed sneakily above a doorframe. 002. in front of the fireplace, cuddled up under a blanket with a hot drink. 003. in a mountain lodge, snowed in from a heavy snow storm. 004. on an ice rink, careful to dodge the bustling crowd that stumble and rush past. 005. at a busy dinner table, food piled on the centre and family chaos ensuing around the house. 006. at a quiet dinner for two, an intimate meal and magical moment for a special couple. 007. standing in front of the christmas tree, decorating it with an assortment of baubles, lights and tinsel. 008. lifting up a smaller frame to put on the finishing touch on the christmas tree: the tree topper ( a star, an angel, or something else! ) 009. setting out the snacks for santa and his reindeers. don't forget the milk and cookies for christmas hardest workers! 010. in the kitchen making the deserts for the big day, and perhaps even making a mess too! 011. in the dining room building a home: a gingerbread home! decorate the home and make it one fit for a little gingerbread man. 012. at the mall, waiting in line to sit on santa's lap and spill your christmas gift wishes. will you be deemed naughty or nice? 013. sitting down with some company to wrap all the christmas gifts, preparing for the big day. 014. sitting down to exchange and open gifts, anticipating what gift you may get. is it something cool or just another pair of socks? 015. out on the streets doing christmas carolling, blessing the streets with the sweet voices of heavenly haromies. 016. in the snow rolling a big ball to build a snowman, bringing it to life with makeshift features and wrapping it up with a warm scarf. 017. in the trenches of snow forts, amidst a war of a snow fight! who will win? 018. falling into soft snow to create snow angels, flailing wildly on the ground. 019. traversing the treacherous conditions of icy pavements. will you laugh as they fall or lend them a hand and go down in solidarity? 020. jamming out to a christmas song, and inflicting the pain of holiday songs on someone else.

open: to mutuals and non mutuals. setting: summer anywhere in the 1980s. swimming pool or at the beach.

a whistle is blown before dropping back against his chest, starting to grow impatient. although, that didn't take much to wear his patience thin– it was getting triple frustrating that he might actually have to do his job as a lifeguard and save someone which is not what he wanted to do despite signing up for it. " i already told you once, so that's on you. if you actually go drowning, that'll be your funeral."

This Art was done last December for @gideongrace as a “Thank you” for his awesome editing! It’s for the Story “Wildflowers, Roses, Honeysuckle”

It takes place in a more modern setting and I had fun sneaking the Game references in!
