Peaceful slumber...(Jonathan)
Edward walked slowly into the Warehouse.
It had been a trying day, celebrating without the love of his life. His heart yearned for Jonathan, burned for him despite the betrayal from Scarecrow and the wish he had made at the tree he knew was petty. Who could really ever feel peace? Would could make such a wish come true?
The air was cold in the Warehouse, stale almost. Edward's cane clicked tenderly against the tiled floor as he took a step, unaware of what lay in store for him.
With a sigh the gangster pushed open another door and there it was. A Christmas tree.
He couldn't recall having erected one due to the fact of being utterly alone for the holiday itself. Sure, he had Effie but she had her own family to tend to. And the criminal was forced to settle alone in the dark, vacant warehouse and stew.
But this was a surprise in itself.
"Effie?" This had to be her doing. He couldn't think of anyone else. Definitely not something Beauty would attempt. Not Dinah or Bruce....definitely not Tony.
He approached the tree with caution until he saw what lay beneath it on the skirt. Wrapped around the body itself was a festive bow of his favorite color and instantly the cane tumbled from Edward's long fingers as he halted in surprise.
"Baby?" He blinked, seeing Jonathan laying peacefully beneath the decorated tree. He finally moved forward without the cane and knelt to the skinny, bow-adorned man and pulled the seemingly lifeless figure into his arms. Everything might be right after all. It was Christmas, of course.
Maybe, just maybe it was a wish come true after all.
