Pretty Peach
A Peach
"It's not, therefore I have a second skin that's coming off on you." It's not like he never wore the shitty stuff before, he just hadn't been so cuddly with his best friend back then. If he knew he would be doing something that might make it come off, like swimming, he used his nice expensive stuff. Craig made damn sure no one would know. He groaned at the heart felt crap his friend jokingly said. Oscar truly was the biggest dork ever. "I am the one who doesn't like them. Hell, when's the last time you saw a model with freckles hm?" Almost never, unless they were on females. Therefore it was get rid of them or have trouble being a model. In high school they hadn't been so intense, but no one in his family had freckles except his grandparents. His parents were the picturesc people, so he had his mother teach him how to cover them up.
"Eh...? It's..." He blushed at the sleepy Oscar poking at his freckles again. "Ehhh?! Cute?" Craig had no idea what to say and he was blushing from that. Since when were freckles on a guy cute? But more imporantly, Oscar never called him cute so honestly. He could could the times on his hands probably. When Oscar shifted them around, he just cuddled against him instead of leaving. Dishes could be done tomorrow. Right now, he was ending the perfect date night. He blushed and squeezed his eyes shut as the photo was taken, but Oscar now had proof of the dots all over his face. There were some hickies on his neck, but they were not as intense as the monster bruises Keegan used to leave. Oscar didn't seem to mind. Danny rarely left them anyways since Craig had to almost beg to do more than kiss on the lips. Since the make up was coming off anyways, he wiped the rest off with a tissue from the coffee table. "Oscar... I... I know. But please... don't try to cook when I am not here. I like cooking for you, ya know." Craig chuckled a little, then nuzzled under his friends chin. "Yeah, that's the hard part." He grumbled as he snuggled into his friend. That night, including every night he spent snuggled up to his best friend, he slept soundly.
Despite the cheerful season, things only got even more frustrating between Craig and Danny. Danny was working more often, and didn't seem to have time for Craig, while Craig even came up with an excuse or two that week not to see Danny. Typically it was because he was spending time with Oscar. Tonight, however, he was going to have Danny over for a dinner date, which meant he had to cook a difficult vegetarian hipster dinner. No glazed ham. Craig looked down at the tofu block in front of him. It's not like he never cooked with it, but never to make it the main portion of the meal. There was a spice bread cooking in the oven, but he doubted Oscar would like it since he made it without milk and without even eggs. It's not the added cooking rules that he disliked, it was the fact that Danny was so pretentious about it lately and insisted Craig do the same. That's why he was cooking so intensely when he was only with Oscar, because when he was with Danny, he couldn't eat like that.
He washed his hands and decided to wait to cook, since tofu would hardly take any time to cook. Just a half hour ago, he had handed Oscar a box of mistletoe to hang up in every door way that didn't actually have a door on it. The entrance to the hallway, the kitchen, the living room, then he told him to just sneak some here and there. Craig laughed a little and went over to Oscar who was hanging up the one in the livingroom. All he did was come over and inspect and maybe take a picture or two, but of course at that moment, the aforementioned hipster came in.
He didn't look all that happy and he looked even less so upon seeing what Craig and Oscar were doing. Just hanging up mistletoe! Craig couldn't do it since he was a little shorter than Oscar. "Enough mistletoe?" Danny mumbled as he hung his jacket up and took his boots off.
"Never enough mistletoe!" Craig joked, trying to lighten the mood. "They are so romantic!"
"I am not here enough for you to have any. Who are you going to kiss? Oscar?"
Craig frowned and gave a nasty look at Danny to shut up. He'd just got here and he was already being a nasty grinch. Danny sighed and went to the kitchen. He opened the fridge to get a drink out when he noticed how jam packed full it was with food. Most of it was in preparation for his Christmas dinner with Oscar. So there was a ham in there, vegetables, chicken, more ham, so much ham. Danny said nothing but he made a scoff noise. Worse and worse. Danny was just being terrible and nasty today, but he never once yelled at Craig, which made it harder to fight.
The last one to put up was in the kitchen and despite the grinch he asked Oscar to put it up, since he was too short. Danny looked Oscar over with the jealousy that showed he'd now become weary of Oscar.
"We should be spending our Christmas dinner at my place."
"Your place isn't decorated at all..." Craig said sorrowfully. He awkwardly pulled at a few loose strands on his ugly reindeer sweater.
"So? It's not like these decorations matter. Hell, those are just an excuse to kiss more guys right?" Danny scoffed. "Or more like, him."
"Excuse me?"
And everything went to shit again. It was obvious that Craig didn't want to fight right now, especially when he was supposed to be cooking a Christmas dinner which was one of his favorite things (aside from eating said meal). Cheap stabs were taken at each other, from his so called 'cheesy decorations' to Danny being a poser. Then worse pokes about how Danny didn't like being seen in public, he was too much of a wuss to come out.
"At least I don't screw with any guy that I happen to meet at a bar!"
It's gut punching time, and Oscar would probably recognize that look in his face. "I don't even want to be together anymore!" Craig cried, literally. He was getting so worked up that he shed a few tears, but it wasn't just sorrow. "I don't want to wait five years, I don't want to not eat ham anymore and I want to Celebrate Christmas the happy way!" In a fit he took his apron off, tossed it on the ground and rolled up his sleeve to punch this idiot right in the stomach. Luckily, Oscar would probably hold him back.
"Then fine! Go off and sleep with any guy you meet! Go celebrate this materialistic holiday, go eat ham, it's not like you were fooling me anyways!" Danny went to the door to grab his coat to leave.
Craig turned to Oscar and grabbed the front of his shirt. "Oscar... you should just let me punch him!" If he was thinking more clearly he would have even described all the reasons why Danny needed to be punched. "Every. Fucking. Single. Bad Guy... I've dated them all!" He was hysterical and simply yelling at Oscar now because he had been yelling at Danny. "And the good guys are never gay!" He pushed Oscar back, like he had done back when they went to the bar. He pushed Oscar back again and started sobbing this time. Once more and he pushed Oscar back under the living room mistletoe.
"Eh...? It's..." He blushed at the sleepy Oscar poking at his freckles again. "Ehhh?! Cute?" Craig had no idea what to say and he was blushing from that. Since when were freckles on a guy cute?
