Disclaimer: I'm not a writer. There just isn't enough Marcel x reader content so I have to step up. Also, this is less of smut and more of me making a character study through intimacy. It's actually a safe read. This writing contains a fair amount of Clemar content and leans heavily on fetishes.
Marcel can get so loud because when you're his lover, he trusts you enough with his life. At first he might be shy, but give it some tries, he'll stop holding back. Hear his every breath and whimper, that's how he shows how comfortable he is with you. It's just the two, or maybe three of you including Clemar, so he has no qualms about expressing himself honestly. He'll tell you just how good you're making him feel. He does not have many sentences to say, but even his short phrases and the way he's stuttering because of you says it all.
What he secretly likes? When you force him to say something specifically. You might say, "use your words, love. 'Please ████ my ████.'" Such vulgar language is unheard of in the Paxley household! If it means he'll get what he needs from you desperately, he'll beg for it ashamedly.
His fetishes would be mirrors, photography / videography, voyeurism (by either Marcel or Clemar only). Let me quote, "different perspectives expose the same truth." Force him to look at himself and everything you do to him. Different angles, different views. As Clemar watches the situation, Marcel shares the same memory. They are split souls after all. Burning with embarrassment, it only further escalates the intensity.
Take photos and videos of him while you make a mess out of him. You're looking at him, the lens is looking at him too. What would you do with all your photographed content after? Would you enjoy it privately? Would you show it to him and make him see himself in all his glory? He lets you keep a copy of his most vulnerable moments with you without hesitation.
He is a voyeur in a sense that you could tease Clemar and Marcel would only grow in sometimes jealousy, yes jealous of himself, and sometimes anticipation. The way you're touching Clemar is making Marcel nervous, but he does not stop you, because affection to Clemar is also affection to him. Even by watching in the background and leaving him by himself, he's all worked up.
In another scenario, when you're all up on Marcel, Clemar eagerly watches the two of you. Marcel can already see Clemar's smug lens in his peripheral vision, as well as how his pathetic state looks like through his eye. He knows Clemar has already been taking photos of him since you pushed him against the wall. Despite that, you're looking at him so hungrily. Being desired by you sets his heart afloat. Expose him more, see him thoroughly.
A hard pass he would have is sharing any of these private moments with anyone else. Marcel already practises a firm persona in front of anyone he does not know. Reserved and grounded, these were expected of a Paxley. In public, he is noticeably more stoic, even next to you. Internally, he wishes to have only you witness his soul since no one else could ever compare.
"Can you write fluff or dominant Marcel?" Sorry I cannot fulfill this request sorry I cannot fulfill this request. This is my first fanfic here I'm sorry for being freaky and cringe I hope somebody shares the same tastes as me.

Disclaimer: All characters featured in the story have been aged up for the purpose of the narrative. In the original Attack on Titan (AOT) series, characters, including the main cast, stair their military at the age of 12. However, in this fanfiction, the characters are older individuals. The decision to age up the characters was made to ensure that the events and themes explored in the story align with a more mature and responsible context.
For reference, in the original Attack on Titan storyline, the year 845 is when the story begins, and Marcel for example is approximately 12 years old when he dies. But in this fanfiction, in the year 845 Marcel is 18 before the main story starts. When the main story starts Marcel is 20 years old (2 year time skip) from the prologue.
WARNING: Keep in mind there are gonna be some spoilers in this story if you aren't caught up then let me know and I will remove you from the tag list. The tag list is also from people who wanted to be tagged in my previous AOT stories.
Plot: Marcel Galliard, a former accomplice in breaking Wall Maria, meets the reader during the 104th Regiment Corps training. Despite falling in love, Marcel bears the burden of leading a secret mission that could harm his new connections. As their romance blossoms, Marcel faces internal conflict between duty and love. He is now faced with consequences of his past actions, and there is a chance that it could ruin the love he has and the friends he created.
Tonight is a particularly cold night. The long nights of winter have comfortably settled in, leaving everything more barren and bleak than before. Back when I was a child, I hated the cold. It would always hit me abruptly and linger uncomfortably. No matter how beautiful cold nights may be, going out in the cold had always put me in a bad mood. Perhaps it was just a senseless opinion of someone so young, or perhaps the cold reminded me of things I didn’t wish to think about.
Now that I’ve inherited the power of the Crystal Titan, my body doesn’t respond to cold like it used to. I’m not sure if you ever got to experience a cold night with a Titan Shifter body, but the cold is now a pleasant sensation rather than an uncomfortable one. And now it seems that cold nights are only second to one.
I never really cared to gaze out into the night sky as a child. Even now I prefer the dazzling colours of sunset. I love tracing the sunkissed clouds as the sun dips below the horizon. The warm spectrum of light never ceases to amaze me.
However, tonight the sky is clear of clouds. Stars are dusted across its dark canvas, leaving me alone to marvel at its beauty. At a time like this, I’m sure you would say something witty to make me smile before handing me your jacket. You had been someone who prioritised others over yourself. I used to wonder why you cared for me more than you seemed to care for yourself, but now I do the very same thing.
You never got to meet them, but the next line of Warrior Candidates remind me of our generation. I’m not able to fully understand what our predecessors thought of us, but I know for certain that I love those kids. How could I ever wish upon them what happened to us?
More than anything, I want those kids to live a normal life. I want them to be able to attend school, not defend their country from the front lines of a battlefield. It isn’t right. It never has been. I was too naive as a child to understand that, but you? You understood the value of living a long life better than I did. You understood that value and still gave your life to our power hungry country known as Marley.
Sometimes I think back to the day we were chosen as Warrior Candidates. The evening before we were chosen, you asked me whether I was certain with my decision or not.
You, a boy who desperately wanted for the people he loved to have lives longer than his own, wanted me to give away the single thing I had worked so hard to achieve. Meanwhile I, a girl who had given up anything and everything to attain her father’s love, had fumbled the love you had for me.
It was cruel of you, really.
Despite everything you felt and knew, you still questioned my resolve. You questioned me while still wishing for your own brother to surpass the length of both of our lives.
In the end, you chose the life of your brother over the lives of your comrades. It wasn’t your fault you had grown attached to any of the others, and I could never blame you for making your decisions in the ways you had. I could never even blame you for saving Porco over me.
No matter how awful this may seem, I would choose to save Emanon over Colt. Despite loving all of them, I would still choose Emanon over every other Warrior Candidate.
How cruel of me.
Perhaps it isn’t just you or me who is cruel, but the world itself.
We were children thrown into the very fray of it all. We didn’t have time to develop proper morals or learn how to understand the emotions of others. We lived and expressed ourselves without a care of who we hurt. But I suppose that’s what it means to be young. It’s the only time in our lives where we can so carelessly disregard the feelings of others.
When everything is said and done, I must digress. For just as the sunset is followed by a night of stars, each of my actions will lead to a cascade of consequences.
I will let myself love, even if it must end in heartbreak.
The stars in the sky are lovely tonight. They shine a colour that isn’t quite blue, but isn’t grey either. It’s a beautiful balance that results in silver. They’re delicate - like dewdrops on a spider’s web and aglow like soft embers from a flame.
For hours, I laid in bed more awake than usual. No matter what I did, I couldn’t shake the feeling of loneliness. It wasn’t because I was alone that I was lonely though. No… in my moment of vulnerability, what I craved wasn’t to be something other than alone, it was to have you here with me. I was lonely because I missed you.
I could easily fill the spot in my bed with someone else, but when I acknowledge that it only makes me want to be alone even more. When I realise I’m alone though, my heart begs for someone else to lay beside me. Thus, I lay trapped in a prison of my own making.
I miss you, Marcel. Some nights I miss you more than others, and tonight is one of those nights. I know I must sound pathetic, but you were always the person who loved me every time I woke up from my endless nightmare. We may have been nothing more than children, but the love you expressed was nothing short of brilliant.
You would always chase after me even if I didn’t want you to. You were always there to kiss my frostbitten hands and you were always there to comfort me on lonely nights.
Over and over again you were there for me, and now you’re no longer here at all.
I know I can manage without you, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. I know I need to move on, but how can I possibly move on knowing how much you loved me? You loved me so much that it killed you.
No matter how many times I wish you didn’t have to die, it all goes to remind me how much you loved me. It reminds me of how I really, truly, loved you too.
warriors when their parents almost caught you having sex feat. reiner, porco, marcel, zeke, pieck

Reiner Braun
I find it important to say that Reiner can hardly stop when he fucks you, rest assured that the odds of not getting caught when he fucks you at his mother's place or anywhere else are pretty low.
Your apartment is the one exception.
He gets frantic and it's not like you can think straight when he's ravaging you with his hips, so you're also lousy at detecting if someone is about to interrupt you.
You've actually been caught several times, it's even become a local joke among your group of friends.
However this time... It was a little different.
You were both visiting Karina Braun's house, you weren't really planning on doing anything sex related that week of visiting, but there was one day when she wanted to go out to visit her brother.
You were practically going to have the day alone, but it was in the evening that both of you got horny, so you locked yourselves in Reiner's old room to have sex.
Everything was the same as always, an encounter full of intensity and euphoria until....
... Gabi Braun.
We all know how much Reiner loves children, but his little cousin is almost like his daughter. He practically loves to take care of her and be an example for her.
As soon as he heard her voice calling him around the house his penis contracted and he pulled away from you immediately. You were about to orgasm, what a shame.
You groaned, you were a mess, Reiner on his side was dressing as if the world was going to end.
"I'm sorry" he said worriedly as he came over to help you get dressed. He kissed your forehead before leaving to open the door.
"Reiner!" greeted Gabi jumping into his arms. "You smell strange" she said, you two tensed at the comment, followed by her giving you a friendly wave when she saw you.
"I thought Gabi would keep us good company, I hope you don't mind" warned Karina coming up behind the girl. Her gaze was inquisitive, as if she had planned this interruption by way of revenge.
"No no, it's okay" Reiner replies, you responded something similar by avoiding your mother-in-law's gaze.
Yeah, maybe you should consider controlling your intensity a bit when you are not in your own home. Or at least avoid doing it at Karina's house.
Porco Galliard
You had Porco in heaven as you rode him, his hands helping you to move your hips up and down faster as you received his strong thrusts.
The fun was cut short when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs, followed by his mother's voice announcing that she has arrived home.
He practically threw you off him and you fell to the ground, of course a squeal escaped from your mouth as you landed on the floor.
" Fuck!" he cursed under his breath as he quickly succored you.
You assimilated what was happening when he immediately laid you down on the bed and spoke to you in a low voice.
"Pretend you're asleep," he said. You complied as he got fully dressed in record time.
"Hi" he greeted the woman nervously, trying to pretend he had only recently woken up. "You're early."
"Hi Pock! Yeah, I finished my stuff at work earlier. Is your girlfriend here?" she asked wanting to peek over her son's shoulders, unfortunately he was taller so her view couldn't examine the inside of the room.
"She's sleeping" he rushed to say, he could swear his heartbeat could be heard throughout the room. "We were watching movies and she fell asleep."
You had to cover your mouth to keep any laughter from escaping, but your body wasn't helping much as it trembled begging you to stop stifling a laugh.
"Hmm... I see" the woman answered him unconvinced. "Well... I wanted to know how you were doing, I'll leave you two alone."
Porco gave her a small smile before turning to close the door, but his mother interrupted him one last time.
"Try not to make so much noise next time, I heard you when I was climbing the stairs."
Your body and mouth could no longer resist and you stopped stifling laughter. Porco closed the door sighing heavily as you watched him in amusement.
"Shut up" he said to you with a reddened face after throwing a pillow at your face.
Marcel Galliard
Marcel's experience would be similar to Porco's, his mother enjoys interrupting them.
I think with his father it would be more different. He wouldn't really notice and it's not like he cared much either.
One day you were in the kitchen of his house blowing him, Marcel was enjoying it like a god being worshipped by his followers.
Suddenly he hears his phone receiving a call and asked you to stop.
You stopped and took his penis out of your mouth, so Marcel took the opportunity to answer.
"Hi Marcel, how's everything at home?" it was his father, your boyfriend replied trying to sound natural.
You saw his member start to go flaccid as they chatted, the urge for mischief flashed through your mind and you started massaging his testicles to revive his cock.
Marcel stifled a surprised moan and momentarily pulled the phone away from his face.
"Uhmm... Are you okay? Did something happen?" asked his father on the other end of the line.
"Y-yes, it's all okay" he stammered and cleared his throat.
His chatter continued as did your caresses, Marcel began to caress your face indicating you with his eyes to go back to sucking him off.
You wasted no time and took his cock in your mouth while Marcel tried to follow the conversation, it seemed that his father was asking him something about groceries to go buy it when he gets off work.
"Oh, by the way, would you guys like some pizza? I could stop by and pick up some four family sized ones for dinner, since (Y/N) is staying tonight" he said.
"Yes, that's perfect" Marcel replies to him desperate to hang up.
"Okay, that's it. See you later" he said goodbye. When he hung up, Marcel released a groan of relief and grabbed your face gently to start rocking his hips against your mouth.
Zeke Jeager
Ok, but the situation with Zeke would be quite different.
I mean, with Eren he has that typical sibling relationship where they go to each other's room to nuclear fart and then leave the place leaving the other to get gas poisoning, or that they steal each other's phone charger when they can't find their own charger.
The problem is that they also often interrupt each other when they are having sex with their partners, just because it amuses them to tease each other.
Zeke is fucking you in his room? Then Eren would repeatedly knock on the door very loudly scaring the two of you, when Zeke opens, Eren says "hello" and leaves.
Are you in the kitchen while Zeke fucks your brains out on the counter? Eren appears at the window overlooking the courtyard and knocks on the glass startling you both.
"How was your day?" he asks holding back laughter as you both desperately try to cover yourselves.
"Fuck off now" replies Zeke irritated.
Of course later Zeke would do the same thing when Eren is with Mikasa, the Jeager brothers never tire of playing a game of standoff.
Pieck Finger
The lust that engulfs you and Pieck becomes sordid, but not to the point of making you as little indifferent to the world as Reiner.
Unlike the guys, Pieck is actually discreet about having sex in public and semi-public places.
However, she loves to tease you when she knows there is a risk of both of you getting caught.
When you're at her house she loves to make you moan loudly, but sometimes it backfires because she also ends up moaning too loudly when you're both devouring each other or scissoring.
Pieck usually answers her phone when someone calls her while fucking you, the ability she has to pretend she's not doing anything while rubbing herself on you making your pussy melt against hers is amazing.
"Yes dad, she's here with me, do you want to say hi to her?" she asks looking at you mischievously, she knows you can't fake natural like she can. Still she brings the phone closer to your face.
"Hello Mr. F-finger" you stammered trying to stifle your moans, Pieck had intensified the swaying of his hips causing more pleasure in the rubbing of your pussies.
"Hi! I haven't seen you for quite a while, still Pieck talks about you a lot" yep, he's also one of those parents who don't notice, like Porco and Marcel's father.
"I see, I'm so glad about that" you replied shakily under the watchful eye of your girlfriend.
"Uh, I really have to get back to work now, but I'm glad you girls are okay," he said a little hurriedly after noticing that his break time was over. Pieck pulled the cell phone away from you to say goodbye to him.
"Yeah dad, love you too. Bye" she said a quick goodbye already desperate to just focus on you and keep fucking you.
When she hung up, you sat up and melted into her with a hug and a passionate kiss as your pussies continued to revel in your lustful lovemaking.

note: omg i watched again The Iron Giant recently and i can't stop crying T.T
Bertholdt Hoover - Mulan
Bertholdt hasn't bias against princess movies, but jesus, he really LOVES this movie. He loves watching Mulan's personal growth, he loves the songs and the visual art that characterizes it. Sometimes he seeing you so insecure about yourself and your abilities reminds him of Mulan at the beginning of the story, that's why he also invites you to watch it, because he believes you are on the same path as her: ready to show the world that you are capable of doing more than what you look like.
Reiner Braun - The Iron Giant
This movie is his entire childhood, he really has a lot of feelings towards it and he watches it on very special occasions because of how sentimental it makes him. For that special place he has in his heart, is that he decides to invite you one day to watch it with him, because it's a movie that touches his soul and he wants to share it with you. And believe me, you won't leave his house without first being a mess of tears and tissues. Seriously, you really appreciate that Reiner wanted to share this special movie with you.
Zeke Jeager - The Road to El Dorado
Girl, ZEKE LOVES THIS MOVIE WITH ALL HIS HEART. And it's because he seriously loves the comedy in it and it's two very likeable main characters. He loves it so much that he was a goldposter in The Road to El Dorado Goldposting, and of course he made you join too. But can you blame him? Not really. After watching it together, your chats were filled with memes and shitposting about the movie. You just can't deny it, it's an excellent film.
Colt Grice - Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
Colt loved going to his grandparents' farm when he was little, Falco enjoyed it too. On those summer nights they found this story on TV and simply couldn't stop watching it. Adding that his grandparents raised horses, they became even more attached to them and Spirit touched the deepest part of his heart. Because of those tender moments he treasures from his childhood, he loves that you watch this movie with him. You both love the progression of the story, you love the visual art, you love the dynamics of the main characters and, my goodness, THE SOUNDTRACK IS WONDERFUL.
Marcel Galliard - Brother Bear
Believe me, every time you watch this movie, you will sing On my way together as if your life depended on it. Marcel has seen this movie thousands of times with Porco, and he loves how the sibling bond develops. After meeting you, he of course wanted to invite you to watch it with him. To his surprise, it's also your favorite movie and the reason why bears are one of your favorite animals (and you can't deny that you'd love to have a cub like Koda)
Since you started dating, watching Brother Bear became a must-see movie that you had to watch at least once a year (although you would end up watching it a lot more)
Porco Galliard - The Prince of Egypt
Porco is a bit more discerning about the films he watches, whether it is animated or not. This film is a little more mature than it may seem from the cover, Porco knows that. He has it etched in his memory when he was seven years old and saw this film alone in his room, he still remembers how shocking it was to see the scene of the infanticide, also with the scene of the plagues. God, is that every time he sees it, he remembers those adrenaline emotions he felt when he was seven years old.
And well, he doesn't like it just because of that, he's not a religious believer either. Like Marcel, Porco is too much engraved in his heart by movies and series that deal with brothers, and the tragic brotherly relationship of the protagonists of this story is something that breaks his heart, because he puts himself in their shoes and a nasty shiver runs through him at the mere thought that his relationship with Marcel could be damaged. But this is where you come in, after a while he stopped seeing it, and when he wanted to get back into the story he didn't want to be alone, so he invited you to watch it with him. It was the best thing for both of you.
Pieck Finger - How to Train Your Dragon
Since the both of you discovered you love Toothless is that you get together frequently to end up watching this movie cuddled up on the couch, wishing had a dragon with the same relationship of Toothless and Hiccup. Pieck shared with you a playlist with the movie's soundtrack, John Powell is one of her favorite movie composers. Years later you went together to see the sequel in the cinema, and years later you went to see the third part.
It's a very meaningful trilogy for both of you.
Annie Leonhart - Akira
Annie sucks at watching movies and TV series, but this movie has stuck in her mind. She rarely sees it, but those few times she does, it will have 100% of her attention. After she met you and you told her that you were in the mood to watch something shocking, Annie decided to invite you for a weekend to watch Akira. You couldn't take your eyes off the screen, Annie couldn't either. After the movie was over you talked for hours about the plot and a lot of other things you thought, Annie even told you about the manga. You love listening to her talk so much.
Prompt 6: Forehead kisses but it’s the male being kissed on the head.
You steal as you run, the laughter bubbling up through your throat as it turns into a squeal the moment he catches you. His arm snags you around the waist as he tugs you to him. You suck in a deep breath of air and look at him coyly over your shoulder, “Okay. You caught me. You win.”
Marcel’s face is a giant smile, “I won? What’s my prize?”
You roll your eyes as you turn in his arms, “What would you like?”
“A kiss.”
You’re more than happy to oblige, you lean in towards his lips, and you wait for his eyes to close before swooping upwards and placing it on his forehead. His eyes flash open as you step out of his arms, “Oh, you think you’re cute.” He tugs you closer, as your arms wrap around his neck.
“What? You don’t like my forehead kisses?” You bat your eyelashes at him.
He smiles, “I love your forehead kisses. I’ll take them all day everyday, right along with this.” He kisses your cheek, “And this,” your chin, “And this,” right by your ear, “And this,” His lips crash against yours, and man oh man is he a good kisser, when he pulls back you suck in a breath through your teeth. “And this.” This time the kiss lands on your forehead, and you contemplate just how lucky you are that Marcel is all yours.
Imagine: You have just recently started dating and this year is your first Christmas together.
Pairings: Human!Marcel x Human!Reader
Warnings: none.
There's alot of things that I never thought I'd come across or do, one of them being dating Marcel Gerard another being dating someone who's never celebrated Christmas in his life. He's never had anyone to celebrate it with. So I am determined to give him the best Christmas he's ever had. Starting with all of my traditions. Decorating, Baking, Cooking Christmas dinner, shopping, wrapping presents and all that good stuff.
First on the Agenda was Shopping for food, presents and decorations. I gotta tell you it didn't go great.
*
We were walking around the store looking for tinsel and when we found it, I kid you not Marcel skipped over and hugged every colour and now here we are deciding what ONE colour to get.
“Okay Marcel, I love Christmas as much as the next girl but we cannot get 17 different coloured tinsel just because you can't decide. Pick ONE colour, they can't all go on the the tree.”
“But baby, I love all those colours.”
“But baby, our tree OR apartment is not big enough for 3 of every colour.”
“Ughhh fine.”
The next store we went to after FINALLY deciding what tinself to get was to get the food.
“Marcel I'm going to give you the options this time. Turkey, Pork or Lamb ?”
“If we get them all we don't to get any vegetables so all of them !”
“Marcel, I am not buying three different meats that half will be wasted off, just because you don't want to eat your vegtables, grow up. Your will eat them !”
“Fine mom.”
“What ?”
“I said Turkey.”
“Thankyou.”
The third store we went too because he wanted to get a gift for Klaus to say thank you for raising him but he had no clue what to get him and was contemplating whether to get him anything at all.
“I don't know what he likes Y/N, I can’t do this !”
“Yes you can Marcel!”
“How ? Help me !”
“Right okay, he likes painting right. Why don't you get him some art supplies ? “
“He has enough.”
“Okay, do you have any really nice, aged bourbon at home that'll he’ll like because he loves bourbon.”
“No it's not enough.”
“It doesn't matter, it's that thought that counts. Then write him a nice letter or card to go with it.”
“Will you help me ?”
“Of course I will.”
*
Next was baking some Christmassy treats. When I tell you it was the easiest and hardest thing I've done in my life, I genuinely mean it.
“Marcel, we are going to make some gingerbread men, Okay.”
“Okie Dokie.”
I giggled and told him what to do. He started picking up a bowl of flour.
“Right Marcel, hold your horses you need to preheat the oven first. To 170 degrees and then put parchment on the tray.”
“Okay now what ?”
“Pick up the sieve.”
“The huh ?”
“The sieve.”
“Uh.”
“Oh god. The grey thing with the metal net in.”
“Oh okay. Then ?”
“Pour the flour in it.”
He started to but it all started falling on the floor.
“NO ! Marcel, over the bowl !”
“You couldn't of specified ?!”
“It has holes in it, baby. It's not Rocket science.”
“Whatever, now what do I put in ?”
“The salt, bicarbonate soda, Ginger and cinnamon and make sure it's in the bowl this time.”
“Haha, very funny.”
“Right now, I've heated up the butter, sugar and syrup for you already and it's cooled down, so pour it in the bowl and mix it in. Which will make the dough.”
“Okie Dokie.”
“Uh baby, what are you doing ?”
“Mixing like you said ?”
“With a teaspoon ?”
“What’s wrong with that ?”
“Nothing, you might find it easier to use a wooden spoon though because of it's size and large surface area.”
“Oh okay, thanks.”
30 minutes later
We had just taken the dough out of the fridge were it was chilling.
“Now, sprinkle a handful of flour into the counter. Not your handful's though, mine.”
“Why yours ?”
“Your hands's are to big. Which means you'll most likely grab too much.”
“Okay.”
“Right roll out the dough but dont't make it too flat. Leave like a 1/4 inch of thickness.”
“Now ?”
“Start cutting the gingerbread men out.”
He opened a draw, which confused me immensley. I had already got everything he needed out, I turned around and saw him trying to use scissors to cut out the men.
“Marcel ?”
“Y/N, I'm concentrating.”
“Marcel, not with the scissors.”
“What ?”
“With the cookie cutter...”
“Ohhhh... right. I was wondering what that was for.”
“Oh god.”
*
Thirdly was cooking the christmas dinner, Luckily enough though he didn't want to help with that so I didn't have to stress about him doing something impossibly stupid like peeling the turkey. Believe me, he asked if I did that.
So let's move on the the next task wrapping the presents.
*
He was currently wrapping the present he had for Klaus, which was his first present to wrap. He wanted me to show him how to do the first so that when It came to wrapping mine, they would be perfect.
“Okay, I've got you a nice box for the bourbon. Don't worry it’a got a mould that will hold it in place and tissue paper. It's going to be secure.”
“Okay, I need to wrap it nicely. Klaus has high standards.”
“They aren't that high, I doubt he cares how pretty it is. But if you insist, I will help. Right I've got some ribbon to tie around the box if you wanna do that ?”
“Okay, here you go.”
“Thankyou.”
2 minutes later
“Done.”
“Good, no-Marcel what the hell is that.”
“A bow.”
“That’s a knot, you idiot. Do you know how to tie bows ?”
“There’s a reason, I never have to do my laces and I always were ties when dressing up.”
“Oh god, okay. I will help you with that another time. For now. I will tie it.”
I put the box underneath the ribbon and made the two ends meet underneath before bringing then up and crossing them over before making them wrap around the top two ends and then tying a bow in the middle.
“Thankyou, now the book for Elijah.”
“Okay lay the wrapping paper down.”
He did as I asked but he didn't as the same time. He laid the roll on the ground and that was that.
“Oh baby, cut some paper off first.”
“Oh okay, now what ?”
“Now, put the book on the edge.”
“Now ?”
I looked over from the gift I was wrapping to find the book standing up on the paper. I pinched the bridge of my nose, surely he wasn't that stupid.
“Marcel, lay the book flat.”
“But you said on the edge...?”
“Just put it flat !”
“Okay, geez.”
“LAY the book on the edge of the PAPER.”
“Okay.”
“Right, now flip the book on to the other side with the paper and then do it once again. Then get the pencil and Mark where the edge of the book is on the paper.”
“Okay.”
“Now cut down that line. Then do it again but long ways this time.”
“Okay.”
“Mark it and then cut.”
“Right then, put the book in the middle and wrap it.”
He looked at me with confusion.
“You don't know how to wrap either do you ?”
He shook his head.
“Okay. Give it here.”
I placed the book in the middle of the paper and folded the bottom piece half way up the book and taped it in place, then I tucked the paper in at the side which made two triangles, I folded the top two on each side into the middle and then held them in place whilst I did the same with the bottom two and then taped that in place before standing it up and pushing the front piece flat down. The two end pieces then made triangles and I flattened them on top and then finished with the back piece in a triangle and then taping it down. I then grabbed the letter Marcel wrote for Elijah and slipped it in themakeshift pockets in the paper.
“That’s too difficult.”
“Oh God Marcel, I did it slowly.”
“So..”
“Fine, I'll show you one more time.”

The last one was making the hot chocolate before bed on Christmas eve.
This one was pretty straight forward.
Not too hard.
Not too bad.
One mistake though and...
It.
Was.
Horrible.

I was sat at the island watching Marcel make the hot chocolate and he did everything right except when I was in the toilet, he made the biggest mistake you could make when making hot choclate.
“Why in the hell, did you use hot water ?”
“That’a how you make hot choclate.”
“No! It is not ! You made a good effort. Next time use milk.”
“I've always had hot water never has it been hot milk.”
“How many times have you had hot choclate ?”
“Once.”
“Exactly.”
“Let’a just go to bed, atleast that way I'm in my zone and can do at least one thing right.”
“Mmmm okay.”
He kissed me passionately and the night ended with something he wasn't just good at, he was god like at.
