Leopold was silent, just listening to her voice, to the words she spoke. He had never felt a love like that before either. Neither, did he think he could ever be in love. But here he was, head over heels for a woman who was no princess potential at all. At least not in his parent’s eyes. For him, she was perfect, she was truly a princess. She had a kind heart, a sweet smile and definitely the looks for it. 

“I feel happy so you must have,” Casper turned on his side as he ascended back from being deep in thought. One hand under the pillow, the other reaching out to caress Dee’s. “Though if I’m perfectly candid, I feel it without even having to hear it. Do you feel it too?” He wrapped his hand around hers gently and helped it cross the little distance between them so she could feel his heart beat through his buttoned up pyjamas. 

Before given the chance to really answer him with more than loving gazes, Cas laughed. His chest hummed with life at one of his fleeting thoughts. Having worked really hard at being more open and no longer degrading small talk in conversations, he decided to share, “You know, earlier when I was bringing up my sheets from the laundromat downstairs, I noticed one of the neighbours put out a new doormat and I didn’t realize what it meant until now. It said, ‘the neighbours have better stuff’ and I didn’t think much of it other than how it was a very indirect way to compliment the neighbours. But I realize now it’s addressed to potential burglars. N-not that burglary is funny, but the anticipation of it by putting out a doormat was rather funny to me, just now.” Emphasize on trying to telling Dee what was on his mind in a more coherent way. The way she never addressed his many attempts at correcting himself or over-explaining his words, had helped him grow a great deal of confidence and for that he was silently grateful. 

His hand was still holding hers but he’d ended up intertwining their fingers. As he rolled back over, his gaze landed on the ceiling of their makeshift tent - a place set up in the living room where they’d spent some of the nicest sleepovers so far, tonight no exception. Out loud, he wondered, “Should we get a doormat for our tent? It could say ‘hello from the other side’ like that song you covered! Or have our names on it, right next to each other...” Yes, that was a nice thought. He was going to keep that one. Casper turned and shifted to fall asleep. One hand under the pillow, the other wrapped around Dee’s waist. “Did I mention that I love you, Dee?” 

— who spends hours putting up lights only to get tangled in them and storm off?

Casper is 100% tall and clumsy enough to get tangled up in string lights. He probably wouldn’t storm off. Just fall over and pout until Dee untangles him.

— who accidentally eats a whole box of christmas chocolates in one sitting?

Dee because Casper would be too busy finding a fancy plate to present them on.

— who insists on watching the cheesy hallmark christmas movie?

Dee though Casper hardly needs any convincing. He’s in favour of any reason he can cuddle up to her, plus he’ll probably think they’re educational (in terms of romance).

— who insists on playing nothing but michael buble in the few days running up to christmas?

Neither? Cas will just be enjoying Dee’s humming and singing around the house. (And besides, his christmas playlist mostly predates like... Wham’s Last Christmas.)

— who gets their presents wrapped at the mall so the other can’t go snooping?

Casper does so ever since they live together. His presents have been more neatly wrapped ever since too.

— who insists on making snow angels?

Probably Dee, she’s usually the one to show Cas how to have fun.

— who puts christmas outfits on all the pets?

Neither cause they don’t have any pets (yet) but I’m sure they would torture any kitten into a sweater together.

— do they go to family’s or have a quiet day in?

If Dee’s nona has something planned, they celebrate over there to enjoy the company (and the amaaazing food). But the days during Christmas break, when Dee’s schedule allows it, they would enjoy their quiet days in together or blending in somewhere in a big crowd like at a light-festival or other winter event.

— who insists on wearing matching ugly christmas jumpers?

I think Dee would bring up the idea of matching (disney) jumpers. The only jumper Cas would ever insist she wore, is one that has a pun on them like ‘have a tree-mendous christmas’

— who waits up until midnight to give the other their present?

Casper because it’s tradition.

— who insists on hand-made presents only, one year?

Dee, after finding out Cas had been all nervous to tell her he couldn’t really afford a fancy gift for her and without saying as much, she wanted him to feel more comfortable so insisted on hand-made presents only that year.

— who puts mistletoe on every door frame?

...both of them.

— who gets too drunk at the work christmas party and has to be picked up at 9:15pm?

Well, the only person who could get drunk that quickly is Casper. He really should learn to say no when bubbles are offered to him, it’s not that impolite!

— who gets angry and almost tells kids that santa isn’t real?
