Midnight Manor Private Residence, Monday Evening

[pocketpretzels]

A Thanksgiving feast, even when just for two(ish) people, was still a feast, and thus had required both yesterday and today to be properly prepared. Most of the dishes were the same as last year: the main along with the side dishes of vegetables, potatoes, and stuffing. And yes, of course there were dinner rolls.

New this year was a soup and simple garden salad. Dessert was also the same as last year, with apple cake and butter tarts (along with a batch of the non-vegan variety that had been set aside for Marc).

"It looks fantastic," Watts said, surveying everything laid out on the dining room table. "Will you light the candles, then, while I go fetch us a bottle of wine?"

Steven wrapped his arms around Llewellyn, kissing him back in a way to try to show how very grateful he was to have Llewellyn in his life.

Funny, that's exactly what Watts was doing. It was the day for it, after all.

(Though yes, of course, he was grateful each and every day for Steven.)

Some days you had the privilege of focusing entirely on what you were grateful for. In Steven's case, that he found someone who he loved and who loved him in turn, exactly as he was.

"I'm very lucky," Steven murmured against Llewellyn's lips. "Grateful to fate for bringing us together."

"Glad it was you who happened upon me moving in," Watts agreed. "And were so welcoming, right from the start."

"Glad it was you who moved in," Steven said, and went in for another kiss.

"Even gladder," Watts said, "That you asked me to move in here with you, and gave me a family." A sentiment that he sealed with yet more kissing.
