The sound of Remus’s laughter brought Severus in from the kitchen to see his lover standing beside the Christmas tree, the strange Santa ornament dangling from one hand.
“What’s so amusing?”
Remus held out the fuzzy, little Santa Claus face. “What’s this doing on the tree?”
“Where should it be?” asked Severus, who was beginning to get a bit annoyed at Remus’s continued mirth, sensing it was somehow at his expense. “I found it on the floor beside your nightstand. So I brought it in here and hung it with the other ornaments. Straps on the sides instead of the top did seem a bit odd, but no odder than some of the others.”
“That’s because this isn’t an ornament.” Remus stopped, and reconsidered what he’d been about to say, as a slow grin spread across his face. “At least, it isn’t the sort of ornament that you hang on a tree. It’s used to ornament other things.”
Severus frowned. “What sort of other things?” he asked with a hint of suspicion in his tone.
Remus simply took the Santa, grasped it by its two small elastic straps and held it across his body so that it dangled in front his crotch. His grin widened as two faint spots of red appeared on Severus’s pale cheeks. “You really haven’t seen anything like this before?”
“No,” admitted Severus. “I can’t say I’ve ever encountered this particular sort of Christmas cheer.”
“This should be an enjoyable first then.” Remus tossed it over. “Care to try it on?”
Severus caught the Santa head and held it up, examining it more closely now that he knew what it was intended for. He raised an eyebrow and smirked at Remus. “This little thing wouldn’t fit either of us. It’s much too small.”
“Santa’s beard grows as needed for a good fit.”
“Ah.” Severus held it down in front of himself. “You did say you loved a man with a beard.”
“So I did, and I’m looking forward to doing it again,” he replied as he followed Severus into their bedroom.
