For Anatoly
Lex had recreated the scene as perfectly as he could. The clearing hadn't changed much and the chess set was set exactly in the same place it had two year ago. The only unfortunate change was there was no snow tonight, so the chess pieces didn't sparkle on their stump in the same way. But it was close enough that Lex was rather proud of himself.
He's snuck away, just as he had New Year eve two years ago, and changed into the same military uniform, which had some how been kept. Then he'd taken the chess set and set it out on the same stump in the same clearing. Then finally, he returned to the party for Anatoly, who he hoped would understand his gesture.
"Tolya...Merry Christmas." He said softly into his ear as he wrapped his arms around Anatoly's waist.
