a finger raises to his lips to shush the other, his other arm being occupied by a sleeping lena, who had finally fallen asleep for her nap. with his luck even the smallest noise would wake his precious daughter and turn her into satan. a hushed shrug heard as he looks over at the other, bags under eyes.
His anger subsided rather quickly, arms crossing together at the sight of the brunette. Expression remained calm, though, Lance felt sympathetic for her. Being separated from the one you loved was painful, and in a way he did feel some blame was on him for taking all of her time. He hated being the reason she was so upset, and he wanted to fix it in a way that worked for both of them.
“Come on, talk to me Skylar. I’m not mad anymore so lets talk normally.”
“Does that man I can get another cookie?” Already quick to go right after that food once more. If Santa forgave other kids for worse, why not forgive an extra cookie? He enjoyed them too. So he’d have no qualms with her munching another. “Santa eats them too. It’ll be okay.”
“..Serah.” he tries to hide the hurt in his voice, golden eyes glued to the floor. A frown twitches at his lips, but quickly it turns into a forced smile, gaze looking back at the little pinkette. “I’m not Santa but, can you at least eat one healthy thing? Then, i’ll give you the cookie! But please, for me?”
The tears would stop, but she was still upset, very much so. All she wanted was to be on Santa’s nice list, to be gifted from her idol. Yet she had ruined Christmas. Only because she ate a cookie. “Will he? I-I don’t want Santa to hate me…”
“K-Kids have done worse to get on the naughty list. You’re safe Serah, don’t worry.” she was a handful at times, however most younger siblings were. Bending down on one knee, he lightly ruffles pink locks. “I promise, okay? Santa will forgive you, he could never hate you. You’re a sweet kid.”
There were so many things that she wanted to do. Just to feel his warmth against her, fingers sinking into his back, and tongues just battling with one another. Intimacy was one thing that both Taurus and Leo shared in common; so it was really hard and really lacking in their triangle of a happy relationship. In fact, she was not sure if he was aware of her recent antics. Leaning in, her fingers decided to get lost in his hair. Maybe slowly, she can convince him to really enjoy their alone time.
“ I don’t know, but there’s a lot of things I really want to do with you tonight. ”
Feeling as fingers dig into blonde locks a relaxed smile curves on his lips, this particular action always soothed him, and of course, it was the one that could sometimes got him into mood. It had been awhile since they were last intimate, close to one another. He did miss it, but at the same time kinda forgot about, it being preoccupied with the baby and all. Hence why the lion didn’t get the major thing she was hinting at, and so, he innocently asked what the bull meant.
Finally, a weekend alone with her beloved. Being a full-time mom was hard work and took up most of her time; she doesn’t regret it though. Lena was a blessing for both of the two zodiacs. It was just really nice of Melody and Cameron were able to take her for the weekend so that her and Lance can spend more time together. The lack of intimacy was bad enough, but it was hard for Lance to even notice her at times. She couldn’t help but to feel under appreciated ever since she had their daughter; she couldn’t get him to notice any little things about her and she hated it. Maybe this weekend, they could make it all up.
“ Looks like we’re finally alone, King. ”
The lion forgot why he was so fearful in the beginning to be father, now he loved every second of it. He finally had the family he always wished her, a wonderful child and an amazing soon to be wife. Although unaware of it, Lance had been too engrossed in spending more time with his daughter then he has with his beloved. Perhaps a little too much, seeing as how the bull was craving affection and he was oblivious to it all. Looking up at her, the zodiac gives her a genuine smile.
“Oh right. It has been a long time since we were last alone.” a pause, “so, what do you want to do?”
As soon as he raised her voice, threatened her idol being a no-show, her optics filled with tears. He had messed up, terribly. She was not a cry baby, sure, she faked it to get his attention, but this was true sorrow. “I-I only wanted to eat it… I-I’m sorry. Santa won’t come now, right? I ruined Christmas!” Cue quiet sniffles as she hides her face in her tiny palms.
Pure horror captured his features. No. Not the tears, they always left him completely powerless. Lance wasn’t the brightest of children, in reality he ruined christmas not her, now Santa would be mad at him. “T-There’s still time to redeem yourself! Please don’t cry Serah! Santa will forgive you!”
