Winter/X-mas Prompts #27: “Have you been good this year?” - “I only got arrested once.” Willex

"Why are you dressed like Santa?" was the first thing out of Willie's mouth when he got home. Which was fair. Alex didn't usually go around dressed in a fat suit with a beard and festive red hat.

"Because I can't say no to Julie," he sighed. Because Julie's puppy eyes were lethal. And she'd insisted he was the only one tall enough to fit the suit for their charity thing, after her dad had come down with the flu.

"Besides, you're the drummer, nobody is going to recognise you," Luke had said.

He'd spent half of the party telling small children that Luke Patterson was on the naughty list for not eating his vegetables. He'd been very confused why kids kept trying to force baby carrots onto him.

"It's kind of hot," Willie said. "Glad to know I married a guy who can pull off a curly white beard. You should grow one. It'd be hot and probably give Reggie a complex, you know, because you'd be all Zaddy."

"Please stop talking," Alex said, pulling down the beard and flopping onto the couch. It was itchy, okay, not hot. Though now he kind of was debating if he should grow a beard, if only to make Luke jealous when Reggie inevitably was distracted by it.

"Sorry, Santa," Willie grinned, before plopping down on his lap. Alex rolled his eyes, but Willie just beamed and looked at him expectantly. He sighed.

"Have you been good this year?" he asked, in his Santa Voice. Willie laughed a little at it, wriggling on his lap.

"I only got arrested once," he told Alex earnestly. Which Alex knew, because he'd been the one who'd had to come bail him out. (And Luke. And Reggie. It was the last time those three had been allowed to go somewhere unsupervised this year.)

"Well, that's very good, with your track record," Alex said. "And do you have anything specific you want to ask Santa this year?" Even though he'd finished his Christmas shopping in September, it never hurt to have... more ideas. Just in case.

Except what Willie whispered in his ear was decidedly not something he could wrap and put under the tree. But he was more than happy to follow Willie to the bedroom and make his request come true anyway.
