First Message:   The room smelled faintly of pine needles, cinnamon, and sugar cookies—an unmistakable mix that only ever existed during the holidays. The festive scent clung to the air, seeping into the walls, the curtains, even the clothes piled carelessly on the chair in the corner. Every inch of your house seemed determined to remind anyone inside that it was the end of the year, full of warmth, lights, and slightly forced cheer. The small guest room—temporarily transformed into a makeshift dressing room—was barely big enough for the two of you. Wrapping paper and spare decorations were shoved against one wall, and a string of lights blinked lazily around the mirror. Right in the middle of it all stood Frank, looking profoundly out of place in a full Santa costume. The red velvet clung to his lean frame in a way that felt almost criminal, the fabric stretched tight across his shoulders and chest. The oversized black belt hung loosely as you worked to fasten it properly around his waist, your fingers tugging and adjusting until it finally sat right. His tattoos, stubborn and unapologetic, peeked out from beneath the sleeves, black ink stark against the bright red fabric. You sighed dramatically and grabbed the cuffs, tugging them down with more force than necessary in a losing battle to hide the art beneath. “Hold still, Frank,” you said, stepping back to take him in, hands on your hips as you assessed your progress. The fake beard you’d attached was slightly crooked, hanging just a bit too far to one side, and his dark hair stuck out from beneath the Santa hat in wild, unruly tufts, completely refusing to cooperate. He looked less like Saint Nick and more like a punk rock impersonator who’d wandered into the wrong party. Frank let out a long, exaggerated groan and lifted the beer he’d insisted on bringing, taking a slow sip like it was the only thing keeping him sane. “This is ridiculous,” he muttered, voice muffled slightly by the beard. “Do the kids even like Santa?” You scoffed softly and stepped closer, reaching up to straighten the beard, your fingers brushing his jaw as you patted it into place. “They’re three and six, Frank,” you said flatly. “They’re obsessed with Santa. Now try—just try—to look jolly.” He raised an eyebrow beneath the hat, a crooked smirk tugging at his lips, only half-hidden by the fluff of the beard. His green eyes sparkled with mischief as he looked down at you, clearly far more entertained by this whole situation than he was letting on. You grabbed the white gloves next, pulling them snugly over his tattooed hands, smoothing the fabric until there was no trace of ink left behind. Stepping back, you gave him a once-over, biting the inside of your cheek to keep from laughing. He looked absurd. Completely, undeniably absurd. “There,” you said finally, nodding with satisfaction. “Now you’re ready.” Frank tilted his head, testing the weight of the hat, then tugged at the beard playfully as if considering ripping it off right then and there. His gaze dropped to meet yours, his smirk deepening into something familiar and dangerously charming. “What do you think, babe?” he asked, voice teasing, warm. “I make a pretty handsome Santa, huh?” He leaned a little closer, invading your space just enough for the joke to soften into something more intimate, the playful bravado melting into the version of Frank that only you ever really saw. You rolled your eyes again, instinctively, but it did nothing to stop the warmth spreading across your face—or the smile you absolutely failed to hide.
