Baling Christmas cookies with Hazel đđ
author's note/s: 742 words. not so much of the baking itself but it does set the scene for this. sapphic fluff 4 dayz, as the kids like to say
If you had to swat her hand away from the bowl of cookie dough one more time, you were going to lose your mind. Or maybe put the bowl in the fridge and find a way to lock it as you finish up your current batch of cookies.
âHazel, seriously,â you tsk at her.
âOkay, okay, Iâll stop. But I did tell you that Iâm a sucker for chocolate chip cookies - baked and unbaked.â
Hazel shrugs and puts her hands up as if to say, âWhat can you do?â, and you can only roll your eyes at her affectionately as you move the bowl away from her. She was always a nice little distraction to your daily tasks and in stressful situations, but you really needed to get your baking done before mid-afternoon. The holidays werenât in full swing just yet but you didnât wanna do your Christmas shopping when everyone else was; huge crowds werenât Hazelâs thing and they werenât yours either. Besides, even though you didnât know what to buy, itâd be nice to know which shops to visit again once you do.
âYou can have them once theyâre out of the oven and cooled. Theyâre yummier and healthier that way,â you say pointedly. âBut that wonât happen if you keep distracting me.â
She hums, walking around the island and stopping right behind you. She presses a kiss to the back of your head before snaking her arms around your waist, her chin resting atop your shoulder. You smile to yourself as you lean back, letting her sway the two of you in silence as you continue shaping the dough.
After a moment, she asks, âWhy are you making all of this so early, anyway? Isnât baking treats supposed to be during the twenties of December when itâs really Christmas already?â
You shrug, placing another cut out soon-to-be sugar cookie on the tray. âForce of habit. Itâs kind of like a tradition my parents and I have for the season, helps us prepare to get into the holiday spirit and all that before doing some early shopping or just window-shopping. You have something like that too, right?â
Hazel tightens her embrace as you feel her shake her head. âMy familyâs not the type. Mom puts in more effort at the PTA meetings for the schoolâs Christmas events than she does in decorating our own house â and before you ask, yes, the house does have decorations. Itâs just that we have people that come over to put them out and around the whole place.â
A frown spreads across your face at that. You knew the Callahan family situation was pretty rocky which was why the two of you never really talked about it unless she brought something up, but hearing little bits and pieces of Hazelâs home life always made you feel sad. It sucked that she and her family fit right into the ârich family but not rich in familyâ stereotype. âI can help you decorate, if you want.â Thinking about doing her humongous house was a bit dizzying, but itâs not like they had to do it all in a day.
You place the cookie cutter down and turn around to face her, and Hazel has the softest look on her face that you almost forget what you were going to say. âWould that be okay?â
âYes,â she answers without hesitation. You chuckle at her eagerness, wrapping your arms around her shoulders to bring her closer. âThatâd be so okay. I think that would be really, really great actually, and then maybe we can⌠wait, but didnât you say you were gonna go look for gifts later?â
âTraditions can be altered. Itâd be nice for the two of us to have one of our own, don't you think?â
She rocks back on her heels, beaming at you as she nods vigorously.
You grin back at her before pressing a kiss to her cheek, then moving your positions around so that she was facing the countertop and you were hugging her from behind. âOkay, part of this new tradition too is that you actually help me bake these cookies, so go and get to it, Callahan.â
âYes maâam,â she says in a mocking soldier-like voice, but she does pick up the cookie cutter without another word.
You let a few seconds pass before going, âOh, and Hazel?â
âYeah?â
âPlease donât get any ideas about eating the cookie dough again.â
Hazel barks out a laugh. âNo promises, pretty girl.â
Since the new year is so close, I was thinking to pick up drawing again. I have a good idea of what all the MV characters look like so i was thinking of doing them.
Do you guys think I should?
he's very excited about his first night as a jack o lantern
