Summary: Harry is on a fool's errand, but Draco is no fool.
"Why must you torture me like this, Harry?"
Harry shot Draco an exasperated look over one shoulder as he continued slogging through the snow. "This isn't torture," he protested. "It's fun!"
"So you say," Draco grumbled. Harry had dragged him on a fool's errand through the woods behind the Manor in search of the perfect Christmas tree. Having barely survived this quest in prior years, Draco had prepared ahead of time. He had a flask of hot-buttered Firewhisky hidden inside his cloak for one thing, and for another...
"Wow."
Harry's voice was hushed and filled with awe.
They had come across a perfectly shaped tree that was the ideal height for the parlor. In addition, it was already glowing with thousands of fairy lights.
Draco came abreast of his husband, holding his breath as he waited for Harry's decision.
"It's beautiful," Harry murmured, taking two hesitant steps closer to the tree.
"Shall we take that one?" Draco asked as casually as he could.
Harry wheeled around to face him, expression incredulous. "Are you mad?! That tree is too perfect to cut down! Why, what if it belongs to some magical creature, or-"
"Harry! I decorated that tree this morning so you couldn't possibly fail to see it this evening!"
Harry stared at Draco in baffled silence before venturing to ask, "Why did you do that?"
Draco sighed. "Because I didn't want to traipse around the woods for three hours, freezing my balls off."
Harry's lips twitched. "I would be heartbroken if your balls froze off, Draco."
"Shut it," growled Draco. They were having a disagreement, and he was not going to ruin it by laughing.
"Alright, you ruddy toss pot, we'll take this tree," said Harry. He stamped his booted feet in the snow and rubbed his gloved hands together. "But first, I want a drink of whatever you're hiding in that flask."
