Christmas Ficlet: Worth It
Third in a series of 5 ficlets. OMG IT HAS BEEN CHRISTMAS FOR 16 WHOLE MINUTES!!! :D :D
Title: Worth It
Fandom: Inception
Pairing: none
Rating: PG
Warnings: stream of consiousness, shortness, not beta'd.
Notes: I didn't mean to post this ficlet right now. I meant to have it up yesterday, but I've been feeling a bit under the weather. Kinda hard to post fic when you're snoozing. :P
Summarry: Christmas time is a little hectic.
Dom drives himself crazy with decorating and shopping and making deals like “If you get nothing but smiley faces this whole month, Santa might bring you a lightsaber,” - and also panicking because Mal oh God Mal, and how can he do this when he’s being haunted by half-dreams and what was he thinking - but….
But when he sees their faces on Christmas morning, when James and Phillipa wake him up at three a.m., bouncing on the bed screaming “He came, Daddy! He came!”…
When he sees them surrounded by toys and clothes and wrapping paper, smiling so hard their faces might burst, still in their pajamas, happier than they’d been in a while, and God he’s so glad to have them, so glad to be in their lives again, so glad he doesn’t have to run anymore…when he sees them jumping onto the sofa and curling into him saying “Merry Christmas, Daddy,”
Dom thinks that it was all worth it.
