Hi there! I was wondering if you could do henchman 21 x reader holiday edition. Some cute little hcs about how him and an s/o would spend the season together! Thank you so much 🥰
omg absolutely, thanks sm for your request @echomonsterdraws! hope you enjoy! (sorry if my characterization of gary is a bit rusty, it's been a while since i've written for him)
🎁gary (henchman 21) x reader holiday headcanons 🎁
this guy takes gift giving seriously, he has a meticulously cataloged list of potential gift ideas that he's been collecting, making sure to write down things that you pick up in stores and decide to put back on shelf or mention that you'd like.
you know those holiday miniature villages? these ones for reference:
he inherited some from his mom and now makes it a holiday tradition to get a new set and put it together with you during the holidays.
another tradition i could see him getting into is advent calendars, he tries to get creative each year and pick unique ones aside from just the chocolate candy ones. the one year you get him a star wars lego advent calendar, and he has to fight back the urge to rip open all the doors.
expect to be cuddled up in blankets with him by the fire all season long. this guy will protest if you try to get up, complaining that you stepping away for even a second will make him cold. "dude, it's freezing, come back!" "gary, you're literally by the fire!"
i have a feeling he has a very strict 'we only open presents on christmas day' mentality. not sure why but i can just see him go "noo, we can only open gifts on the day of, it ruins the essence of the holiday if we open it before!" (he totally would cave at some point and let you open one gift the night before)
this guy totally puts up mistletoe in random places just to steal a kiss from you.
you step out of the kitchen, a mug of hot cocoa in hand, "hey gare, when's our next dnd-"
you pause, seeing him with a candy cane in his mouth looking not at you but right above you. your gaze follows his, and it locks onto the mistletoe hanging conveniently above the threshold.
fuzzy sock clad footsteps follow soon after, and he stands in front of you with a grin across his face.
"gare, it doesn't count if you walk up to it after i'm standing underneath it."
"it totally counts, dude! as long we're both underneath it, we have to kiss. otherwise, who knows what could happen? we could totally curse ourselves for the rest of the holiday season." he waves his candy cane around to emphasize his points.
you raise your eyebrow in amusement, unable to resist his pleading gaze.
"alright..." you lean forward, pressing your lips against his, the taste of hot cocoa and peppermint combining together.
