Police have tweeted that large bags of cocaine are washing up on the beaches of Sydney and have asked the public not to touch them.

Merry Christmas everyone

If I were Dan and Phil I would never hard launch because it’s so embarrassing that we were right. Like what do you mean you were so in love a bunch of thirteen year old’s clocked it? I would never give that satisfaction.

@steddiemas Day 27: Keeping Warm

Steve had picked up a weird habit, Eddie had noticed. He was always carrying random spare clothes. Not like having a spare hoodie in the car, no like always having spare mittens, or scarves or beanies. It was endless his supply of clothes it seemed and Eddie couldn't understand, he'd tried bringing it up to Robin but she was no help.

"Why would Steve carry two scarves, he rarely even gets cold, he runs hot."

He'd asked Dustin hoping maybe the habit was just from babysitting.

"Spares? Why would he need spares, he never lets me leave without my coat."

It was completely peculiar but it seemed inevitable that any time Eddie had forgotten something, there Steve was with a spare.

The clothes were nice too, the wool soft and warm against his skin. They looked nice enough to be handmade and knitted but Eddie assumed Steve probably got them from a nice store that his mother approved of.

Eventually, Eddie confronted him on it. Today he'd forgotten everything on purpose and was shivering by the time he got to Steve's door. Steve had opened it before he even knocked, clearly hearing the van arrive.

"Eddie! You're turning blue, come inside!"

Eddie didn't want to admit that just Steve's fingers on his arm tugging him inside made him feel warm.

"W-wanted t-o p-p-prove a p-point," he said shivering, at least the Harrington's splurged on heat.

"What point? That you're too metal to be cold?" Steve exclaimed pulling out a big maroon wool sweater from the couch. The material instantly made Eddie feel warmer, it helped that it smelt like Steve and the other boy was rubbing him arms in an attempt to help.

"No, this! You always just have spare clothes for me."

Steve actually seemed to blush at this, "You're just always forgetting, I didn't want you to get cold."

"Sweetheart I don't need your fancy clothes I need to just remember to bring my stuff when it's snowing."

"Fancy?" Now Steve looked confused.

"Yeah fancy. Wherever you bought these clothes must be really expensive, they're so nice and soft, I've been tempted to steal them, I've brought them all in my car to return."

"You think they're nice?" Steve had a soft smile on his face, and Eddie feels like he's missed something.

"Yes Steve I think your fancy clothes from the store are nice, but I can't accept them."

"They're not from the store, I, I made them."

Steve was blushing more now and Eddie had an astonished look on his face. "You made these? All of them? They're so nice Steve, why aren't you wearing them."

"Cause I made them for you, so you'd stay warm, and..." Steve mumbled the end of it and Eddie took a step closer to hear him.

"What was that sweetheart?"

"I said so that you'd be wearing my clothes," Steve answered ducking his head.

Something finally clicked into place in Eddie's mind.

"Oh, Stevie, there's much more fun ways of keeping me warm, but I will be keeping all your lovely gifts."

"You will?"

"Of course, my sweetheart made them for me."

"Yours?"

"If you'd like."

"What was that about fun ways to stay warm?"

List of “‘tis the season to be jolly” prompts

“Oh my God, look at that — it’s a mistletoe!” “…Absolutely fucking not. Don’t give me that look! I’m not kiss— ugh, fine, you menace.”

“Okay, so I have a plan — our hands in my pocket for warmth reasons.” “It’s not even that cold.” “What do you mean it’s not that cold? It’s snowing, for Christ’s sake!”

“Snuggles and hot cocoa?” “You’re on.”

“Santa isn’t real.” “You take that back right now or I’m breaking up with you!”

“Oh, look at us trying to skate around this ice-rink and oops! Accidentally just fell into your arms, haha, totally by accident! How clumsy am I? What do you mean I know how to ice-skate and that I’m doing this on purpose? That’s not true at all!”

“Aww, look at your tiny leggies! You sure you don’t need my help in placing the star on top of the tree?” “Shut up, asshole! I’ll show you I can do this without your help!”

“It’s Christmas, it’s cold and we’re both single, so I think we should definitely use this opportunity to share some body warmth.” 

“Merry Christmas!” “…Did you seriously get me a gift card from your favourite store?”

“It’s so cold I’m starting to look like Rudolph.” “Well, I think you’d make a fine red-nosed reindeer.”

“There’s snow in your hair— got it! Hey, you okay? Your face is redder than Rudolph’s nose.”
