—————-
The smell of freshly-baked red velvet cake is wafting through the couple’s home. There’s an all-too-familiar Christmas song playing lightly from a radio. Something about jingle bells and rocking, and Equius doesn’t understand any of that. This is his first Christmas on Earth, had he transportalized himself here a good year (half sweep for him) ago. And why the hell would a troll go that far to adventure here? Because he’d had some stupid flush crush on a human of course.
His boyfriend, Dirk Strider, had lended him some old sweaters he hardly wore anymore. They fit the muscular male perfectly, who was finding himself comfortable in front of the fireplace.
For once, neither of them wreaked that god-awful scent of motor oil and wrenches. For once, they were taking a break from building robots together. For once, they were relaxing.
The Sagittarius’s attention was caught by the blonde-haired male who delivered him a mug of something. It was a foreign liquid, but he carefully took it anyway— he didn’t want to break the mug. He peered inside, brows furrowing with curiosity and confusion.
“What’s this?” he asked, voice calm.
“It’s eggnog, man. Drink it.”
“What if it’s… Poison?”
Dirk can only laugh at that. Poison? Seriously? Did Equius think he was a damn villain?
“Now, why would I poison my noble steed?” he throws Equius a warm smile before sitting down beside him, legs crossed Indian-style.
Equius can only return the smile, albeit the teeth he missed to fill it the entire way. His noble steed? Heh. Man oh man, what title to bestow to him. He loved it.
“Touche.” he brought the mug slowly and cautiously to his lips again, swallowing hard. “Okay, erm.. So I just engulf a fraction of it?”
“You drink some of it, yeah.” Dirk chuckles at his choice of wording. It was kind of awkward, but adorable.
Equius nodded, bringing the rim of the mug to finally meet his lips. He took a sip, as instructed. Licking his lips he nodded slowly again, some approval shown.
“That’s.. Not bad. Not bad at all.”
“You like it?” Dirk smiles,”It even has some milk in it. I knew you’d love the hell out of it.”
Equius’s eyes widen with glee. “Milk? Oh, wow, Dirk, you really didn’t have to. Now I feel obliged to owe you something in return.”
Dirk can only shake his head at that. “Noo, no. I’m still kind of paying you back for travelling all the way here with your freaking transportalizer.”
And he means that. Equius had no idea how lonely the human had been without any physical contact with anyone else, except his cold, lifeless robots.
And honestly? Equius could relate.
Dirk leaned against the taller of the duo, draping his sweatered arms around his waist, sighing happily. He was comforted by the fastened pace of Equius’s,”pump biscuit” although it concerned him with how fast it was at times.
“Dude,” he caught the other’s attention,”Do you know how fast your heart is going right now?”
“Sorry,” Equius almost immediately apologized,”I’ve noticed it seems to go faster than usual when I’m around you.” Aaaand there he goes, his cheeks tinting that faint navy color.
Dirk chuckles sweetly, listening to the sound of Equius sipping down more of the eggnog. “Okay, well, maybe I should back off. Like, before you have a heart attack or some shit.” he grins micheviously before he pulls his arms off, leaving the duo to sit seperately.
Equius was already regretting what he’d said, although he had kindhearted intentions behind saying it. “N-No, wait, no, stop that,” he accidentally commanded the blonde one like he was one of his rebellious robots, biting his lip,”I mean, please, return.” God dammit, Equius. You’re only digging yourself deeper into that hypothetical hole of yours.
He was too afraid to wrap his arms around the other and pull him back in, afraid he’d bruise him or worse.
Dirk turned his head back to him before grinning again. “Well, since you said please.” He ended up tackling him, the Sagittarius wobbling to stay still as their lips connected for what wasn’t the first time, and DEFINITELY not the last.
Equius had no trouble at all returning the kiss, although it was done faintly so he wouldn’t damage the human’s lips. He’d dread it forever if that happened.
Dirk smoothed his lips slowly and affectionately over the other’s, over and over again, to make up for some of the kisses that the Sagittarius had trouble returning. And then Equius’s hands were around Dirk’s waist as well, holding him still.. And as careful as possible.
Equius allowed him to pull away, and when he did, they were both smiling like two children in a candy store. Or, Dirk in a candy store, since of course he’d never been in one before.
“I love you.” Dirk spoke in a hushed tone to him, and now Equius’s face resembled a sea of navy blue rather than its usual gray color.
Aaaand there it went, his pores were going crazy across his sideburns and forehead, sending blue droplets down his face. “I uh.. I love you too, Dirk.” he stammered out, wiping the perspiration away with his sleeve.
Dirk leaned up to kiss his cheek before curling against him, keeping quiet as the even more rushed pace of Equius’s heart accompanied his ears.
Equius loved this company. This physical, warm company. He loved Dirk. They could go through anything together.. Whether it be the embarrassing failure of one of Equius’s robots, which of course Dirk would help him fix up and give him robot-building tips. Through it all— All of the hoofbeast and horse discussions, through Dirk’s explanation of that one fictional pony TV show, Equius had fallen for him.
“I colt stay like this forever.” Equius broke the silence, but almost immediately regretted speaking as a horse pun flew out of his mouth. “Gosh darnit. I mean, COULD. Could stay. Not colt.”
Dirk laughed sweetly, only holding him tighter. He fucking LOVED those horse puns, and he thought it was the cutest shit ever when his Sagittarian boyfriend would accidentally spit them out.
“Shh.” he shushed him,”We’ll stay like this forhoover if you want to.”
He threw his own horse pun right back at him.
Equius was grinning again. “Then we shall.”
