ღ — christmas starters; closed.

nina looks to the young hufflepuff, her eyes softening at his words, and she can’t help the urge to pull him into a gentle embrace. she’d never had the chance to know him in a friendly manner just yet, but she could just tell he was sweet at heart— if his words were any indication, that is. looking at his outstretched hand, which securely held a small goody bag filled with holiday treats, she let her own fingers take it from him gently.

“Jaewon,” he greeted, scuffing his sneakers to hurriedly catch him before he left. One hand reaching out, leaving his heart hastened in his chest as he takes Jaewon’s and opens it to place the necklace in. “I got this for you. It’s.. They charmed it for me, it’s supposed to protect you from bad dreams. So wear it when you sleep and you’ll only have good dreams,” Jihoon can’t stop himself explaining, slowly drawing his hands away from Jaewon’s and inching a step back.

“I have other gifts to give out—“ a lie “—so have a good Christmas.”

He smiles, bobbing his head and brining his hand to his cheek as he turns away, rubbing away the heat as he hurriedly tries to put space between them. Only to remember one thing, stopping and looking back at Jaewon. “But you can’t let anyone else wear it. I got it made especially for you, so. It’s only for you.”

Jihoon smiles, nodding his head at his own success, feet still leading him away; before Jaewon thinks too hard on his words and sees too far into his heart.

There’s a lazy drag of his boots to reach the door and actually go to class. But the second he takes a step out, he sees Jihoon– a few nights after, never the person worth forgetting.

He looks over the necklace, looking at the younger then back at the item again. “You shouldn’t have– thanks” he replies, gently catching Jihoon by the wrist before the Hufflepuff gets away. 

“Mind helping me…putting it on, I mean” he says, smiles– bright and warm. 

I'ts one of those days when he thinks that the star of the Christmas tree should always be on top, it's a weird habit of his to stay away from little things. So, when he finds the star has fallen off, he scoots down, trying to look through the star under the tall tree. He hears a voice, looking up to see some student he swears he doesn't remember.

“just hurry up!!” honestly there are HUNDREDS of ways anyone could decorate a christmas tree even without magic. unfortunately, they’re both stuck with the burden of making things a little more festive in their common room. “always the harder route for you, isn’t it?” his shoulders are about to give up – seriously? what was in jihoon’s head that made him think of this.. UNTHINKABLE idea. “..did you attach it yet?” it’s the last piece to make their tree complete, and jongdae couldn’t take the weight much longer. the next series of events came a little too fast but it was summarized by a really loud THUD and a disheaveled tree.

AU. 

Cause love happens like this; In a single flashing, throbbing moment-- it happens when he finally accepts his flaws because Jihoon says it’s beautiful. It happens when he kisses every scar and nightmare away.

And he feels at home, to have Jihoon caged within his arms, not wanting to let him go because the younger is finally his-- all for himself. 

“Mmmm” he mumbles, letting the Hufflepuff rest his head against the older’s chest.
