Notes: This fic was really just an excuse for the fact that I find this pairing incredibly attractive. It’s possibly worth noting that Liam works at the same strip club as Alec in this cracked-out crossover universe.
Everyone had their own Christmas traditions.
For Nicky and Liam, it was dinner at Liam’s aunt and uncle’s house, followed by several rounds of eggnog and watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special. For Ryan, it was a dinner so huge that it would go on for hours, ending with most people moaning and having to be rolled home.
For Alec and Skye, it was a brunch full of unhealthy foods followed by dinner at Isaac’s house, where his mother had been cooking since dawn. For Isaac’s family, including Ethan, it was a single present opened at midnight. For Lucian and Bren, it was sleeping late and eating chocolate for breakfast.
New friends meant new traditions, and since none of the Aries’ clan was going to miss out on Ed’s dinner and none of Alec’s friends were going to missed out on Mrs. Jamison’s, it was agreed that they would get together on Christmas Eve instead. This was agreeable to everyone, and eventually they also agreed to get together at a restaurant to minimize clean-up afterwards.
As there were ten of them, and they knew they were likely to be loud, they agreed to get a private room. Alec called ahead to the restaurant to get it all set up.
None of this is relevant except for the doorway, which happened to have a sprig of mistletoe pinned over it.
This was something that they did not notice at first. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that the only person who noticed it strategically held back pointing it out until the most opportune moment. That person happened to be Ethan, who above all else, knew when there was an opportunity for something sexy to take place.
So he ate and laughed and talked with all the rest of them, and blithely ignored the mistletoe as people went in and out until Alec got up to use the restroom just as Liam came back from it, and they happened to pass each other, at which point Ethan smiled innocently, pointed up, and say, “Hey guys, mistletoe.”
Nine suspicious gazes immediately pinned Ethan to his seat.
He smiled cutely and said nothing.
Liam smirked at Alec. “How ‘bout it?”
“Did you seriously just ask me that?”
“Nah, not really.” Liam looped an arm around Alec’s waist and pulled him in for a kiss. This was met by several cheers (Ryan, Ethan, and Isaac), one ostentatious checking of one’s watch (Lucian), and two somewhat goggly-eyed stares (Nicky and Skye). Alec pinned Liam up against the doorframe and continued kissing him.
“Oh my God,” Skye said under his breath.
“Uhm,” Nicky agreed. “Uhm. That works. Yeah.”
Alec and Liam finally released each other.
“One minute thirteen seconds,” Lucian announced.
“That’s not even close to a record,” Alec said dismissively.
“It might have set a different record,” Isaac said, smirking.
Alec shook his head and left for the restroom.
Ethan smiled at Skye and Nicky. “Merry Christmas.”
