Summary: Neville distracts Percy a bit while they decorate their tree.
Notes: An Advent Drabble for alisanne, who requested Percy/Neville, "decorate".

Neville has this sly, quiet sense of humour that, as long as they have been together, still sometimes catches Percy off-guard. He shouldn't—he really shouldn't, not with that cherubic face of his, not with his voice, measured and casual all at once. And yet he does, and sometimes it takes Percy a moment to realise that Neville's joking, at which point Percy blushes to the tips of his ears, especially when they're in public.

But tonight they're at home, decorating their tree (actually a mute Screechsnap that Neville's been tending for years and years, tall as a tree now), and Percy's reaching for one of the higher branches, a round decoration in his hand, and Neville twitches a smile and mumbles something about Percy being so careful with the balls, and Percy blushes, yes, but then he's upon Neville, pressing him to the sofa, the decorating neglected for the moment.

Percy kisses Neville hard, smiling into the kiss and tugging at the neck of Neville's robes, and Neville presses against him, hard, harder, and they writhe together there on the sofa, soon naked under the glow of Christmas lights.

Percy only blushes so fiercely in public because he can't do this.
