44th Note

Dear Santa,

Before we really get started here, I'm just gonna point out that I think it's only fair that you judge me compared to how I normally behave, because on a relative scale I've been almost staggeringly good this year.

With that out of the way, I need a new coffee maker and I want a copy of Orpheé. I could always use more strings and picks, and I definitely wouldn't say no to a new Marshall tube amp. More records are always cool too. My cat would probably like a catnip mouse and something he can scratch the hell out of without me yelling at him. I would also like to find a drummer and for my boyfriend to dominate me, but you probably can't do anything about that.

Yours,

Curt

Okay, I'll be there in a bit.

[Probably with booze...]

[Always acceptable. Curt'll be waiting.]

[It's not long before he's knocking on his door.]

Hi. I brought wine.

Well, aren't we fancy tonight.

It's leftover from Thanksgiving.

[He going to go ahead and step in over the threshold, getting his arms around Curt's neck to kiss him.]

[Curt kisses back and tugs Stephen inside by the hips.]

I'll try to find clean glasses.

Do you think you're likely to?

[Going ahead and grabbing a seat at the counter.]

Uh...I could wash some.

[He does check the cabinets, though. The kitchen stuff is mostly left over from previous residents, which means it's actually a lot more well-stocked than if Curt and Campbell had tried to furnish it.]

I know there are wineglasses around here somewhere.

Any kind of glass'll work.

[It wasn't too long ago he was still a student. He's not above drinking wine out of a mug.]

[Curt actually finds two wineglasses, only one of which needs to be washed. It's not as if they remotely match, but, hey, win.]

I have a lot of things, just not in places that make sense...that's going to make moving fun.

So you're moving for sure?

Yeah, unless I suddenly find a replacement loony. I can't afford this place on my own much longer and I'm not exactly easy to live with. Besides, it might be nice not having to worry if a roommate's home, you know?

[Which he should know, considering Sudden Interrupting Campbell incidents.]

As long as you think you'll be okay. I know people've said stuff about the ticking.

I think it'll be okay. I'll just try not to spend a lot of time at home alone.

[Which just makes Stephen need to come around the counter.]

I guess I could help with that. If you need me to.

[Curt bumps him with his hip, because his hands are full.]

Yeah, you better.

[Stephen makes a mildly offended noise at being bumped. Both hands move to Curt's hips, just holding him for a moment as he steps in to place a kiss at the back of his neck.]

[Okay, the glasses are definitely clean enough. He doesn't turn around immediately, though.]

That tickles.

Sorry.

[Still not going to stop, though.]

[Curt leans back into him and for a moment, reaching a hand back to stroke the back of Stephen's head..]

[His hands come around further, linking around his waist as he moves under Curt's jawline.]

[Curt makes a soft, contented noise and tips his head to the side a bit.]

[Stephen takes his time moving up and down the column of Curt throat, brushing his hair out of the way when he needs to. He pauses, resting his chin on his shoulder.]

Do you still want to do wine?

Yeah. Unless you're in a hurry.

[Which would be totally fine, but Curt wouldn't mind a more leisurely, slightly inebriated evening.]

I'm up for wine, yeah.

[He gives him a quick kiss on his ear before stepping back again to lean on the counter. Any smugness you see in his face is totally imagined.]
