all of my holiday drabbles will be from the bear hugs universe. many of them could probably be read standalone, but will make the most sense and be enjoyed best if you read that first!

It’s been a lazy day so far. A rarity for them. So rare, in fact, that Steve has the urge to fill the empty space of time with chores he’s been putting off for months.

When he suggests it, Eddie and Rory glare at him from their spots on the sectional couch.

“I know you don’t want to, but if we divide and conquer, it’ll be done faster,” Steve tries to bribe them. He even offers ice cream for later, something that would normally be enough to get them to do just about anything.

“Steve. Love of my life. Dad of the year.” Eddie pauses the television. “We can have a day to chill. The chores will be there tomorrow.”

Steve sighs. “Yes, but we won’t be. That’s the point.”

He feels a bit restless, but he can tell he’s the only one, so he leaves them to their movie and grabs the keys to his shed so he can get the hedge trimmers. It’s his least favorite task, so he might as well get it out of the way.

It’s quiet in the neighborhood today, kind of like the world was put on pause.

Eddie and Rory must not be the only ones having a lazy day.

Steve’s focused on the hedges on the side of the house when he hears the front door open and footsteps coming around the house.

Eddie is fully dressed and giving him an apologetic smile.

“What do you want me to do?” He asks.

Steve pauses. He didn’t want Eddie to feel bad about having a lazy day.

“You can go back inside. We only have one pair of trimmers,” Steve says. “Sorry you got dressed for this.”

“You want me to clean up as you go?” Eddie offers.

“No, it’s-“

“Dad! I’m gonna sweep the kitchen!” Rory yells from the front door.

“You guys didn’t have to get up. Really.” Steve feels a sting in his throat like he’s gonna cry for some reason.

Eddie’s arms wrap around him carefully, pulling him in and kissing the top of his head.

“You’re feeling overwhelmed, huh?” Eddie asks, though he knows the answer. “We’re gonna help for a little bit and then we’re all gonna go inside and watch a movie together, okay?”

Steve can accept that compromise.

Sometimes he gets like this. Sometimes he forgets that he has Eddie now, that Rory’s a bit older, that he isn’t the lone person responsible for his home.

He forgets that he can chill sometimes. That if the hedges are a little overgrown for a week or two, it’s not the end of the world. That if he has to sweep the kitchen in pieces instead of all at once, it’s better than not doing it at all.

He likes the thought of being lazy later.

He likes the thought of having Eddie on one side of him and Rory on the other while they watch some sappy Christmas movie that Eddie and Rory love.

He likes the thought that the hedges may be trimmed and the kitchen may be swept, but the bathroom still needs a deep clean.

He’ll get to it eventually.

Levi: What do you want? [Robin shrugged, peering around Levi’s head] Robin: Nothing in particular-.. who’s that, your sister? Levi: Yeah. Robin: Wanna ditch her n’ hang out? Levi: With you? Robin: Uh-huh-.. Jacob and Jude too, his dad’s looking at a house for sale over there. [Levi glanced over his shoulder, grimacing at the prospect of being stuck with Tiffany and her annoying friends] Levi: Fine, whatever. Levi: You know you forgot your shoes, right? Robin: Shoes are overrated-.. I like to feel stuff on my feet. Levi: [scoffs] Weirdo. … Levi: It’s tiny. Jacob: Houses are expensive though, right? Robin: Uh-huh, everything is. Levi: How much do you think this one’s worth? Jacob: Uh-.. ten thousand? Robin: [laughs] Try that times twenty. Jude: Woah. Jacob: How big is your house if this one’s so small then? Bigger than Robin’s? Levi: How should I know?! Robin: It’s kinda big. Levi: If you say so-.. our last house was massive, but we had to move. Jude: Why? Levi: None of your business! Jude: Alright, geez. [Jacob rolled his eyes, wondering why Robin had even gone to the trouble of bringing Levi over] … Jude: Did you get it?! Ivan: It ain’t that quick, bud! We’ll see. Oscar: How you doing, Levi? Levi: Uh, yeah.. I’m great! Robin: Can he come over? Levi: Wai-… Oscar: Sure. Robin: You wouldn’t rather be stuck with your sister all day, would you? [Levi squinted at Robin and his irksome brazenness, but he merely gazed back at him calmly-.. he knew he wasn’t wrong] Jacob: He better not make a habit of inviting Levi to hang out with us all summer. Jude: Maybe he just feels bad for him. He did almost die. Jacob: Only almost.
