Re: Seamus and Open
"Truer words were never spoken," Seamus agreed, stepping in and giving Ernie a one-armed squeeze. It had been too long since they'd hugged, that was what Seamus was taking from this conversation and he was always open to fixing that. "We should get on that sleepover idea, though. Maybe a Christmas thing before we all head off to our families? We can exchange presents or do secret santa..." Sure, Christmas was still a long way away but Seamus was used to planning in advance now. He had to in order to get drinks and food in on time, and to give Dominic enough time to make seasonal changes.
When Ernie put it like that, it did seem obvious there would be cake... Somehow Seamus's mind had gone to 'drinks' before 'food'. Too much time spent at work, probably. "Lead me to the cake and I will love you forever."
