Cookies and Cocoa

Darkiplier x Reader

Listen. I was going to do a headcanon list like I usually like to do for holidays (well…the two I’ve made). But I started drawing a Christmas thing and I got short on time. I didn’t l sleep the night before Christmas so I was too tired to write this on the day of so. Here’s a little thing (a couple days late). This is definitely a Christmas thing mainly because I’ve done so many Christmas activities it’s all I’m thinking of. The title sucks I know

Reader could be the DA or not. That’s up to reader interpretation. I think this counts as a short fic?

You knew that Dark wasn’t planning on celebrating Christmas with everyone else. He was planning on staying in his office to work while the rest of the manor had a party. However, you weren’t going to let that happen. You won’t force him to go to the party, but you aren’t going to just let him sit in his office and work on Christmas. You get ready, putting on a comfortable but still nice looking holiday outfit. You also get a couple mugs of hot chocolate and cookies on a tray for the two of you.

As the party starts, you head to Dark’s office. You hold your tray with one hand and knock on the door. “Dark? Are you still working?” He calls to you from inside the office. “Yes, but you can come in, darling.” You open the door and walk inside, shutting the door behind you. As you walk in, you notice a mistletoe hanging near the door. Dark certainly didn’t hang it up. You’re sure it was most likely Wilford who hung it up while he was setting up all the decorations in the manor. Dark has his suit jacket hung up on a coatrack, so it looks like he wasn’t expecting company. Taking off his jacket is about as casual as he gets when he isn’t in pajamas. You set your tray on an empty part of Dark’s desk. “Sweetheart, you shouldn’t be working on Christmas. I brought you a cup of hot chocolate and some cookies.” He looks up from his papers at the tray, and then at you. “Thank you, dear.” He smiles slightly. You gently take his pen out of his hand and set it on his desk. “Take the rest of the night off? Please?” He thinks for a moment. “Alright,” he sighs. “But I’m not going to the party with the others.” You take his hand and pull him out of his chair. “I didn’t think you’d want to go. That’s why I brought cookies and hot chocolate here for us.” Dark takes your hand back and kisses the back of your palm. “Thank you, darling.” You move the tray of cocoa and cookies to a table near a couch inside the office. Before he can sit down, you lightly tug him under the mistletoe. Noticing you looking up, he looks up as well. “Darling, you could have just asked,” he chuckles. He pulls you close, and softly kisses you. You wrap your arms around him and kiss him back. After a moment, you both pull back, blushing slightly. The two of you sit on a couch in his office. You lay your head on his shoulder, and he wraps his arm around your shoulders. You pick up your mug and sip your hot chocolate. Dark takes a cookie as well as his own hot chocolate. You both relax, just enjoying each other’s company.

…

A loud crash comes from downstairs. You and Dark look at each other, silently agreeing that you’ll deal with whatever chaos that was later. You’d both rather relax for a while.
