Poor Lex, Christmas can be such a hard time if you're feeling alone, and I imagine Lex feels like that all the time despite all the people surrounding him. But yay for mistletoe, and for taking a chance. You're right - this drabble definitely wants to be a fic.

My you're fast :)

Can you just feel it trying to bust out at the seams? LOL Hope you're finding the real thing to your liking.

winds himself around Clark like tinsel This is quite an image - especially since tinsel clings. A lovely addition to the prompt. I'm going to go look for the longer version now.

Ooo, never mind, I see you've got the link up. Yay!

You are so quick! I was in the process of posting and left that link hanging - you snuck in before I got back to it :)

I'm glad you liked the tinsel. That's probably my favorite part too.

I can't wait to get to the longer fic, but this was fun by itself.

Lex needing/wanting Clark to be there, for all the various reasons. (Whatever you have to tell yourself, Lex.)

But them alone, with the mistletoe and Lex presumable a little braver for imbibing?

winds himself around Clark like tinsel. That is quite a lovely simile, as well as a fantastic image.

Whatever you have to tell yourself, Lex.

I do love his lies, don't you? :D

The tinsel was probably my favorite part of this - the peppermint felt like a complete throwaway, this was what it was all about.

Wah. :( Poor Lex... I'm so glad that Clark was there for him with it! And the last to leave so Lex can indulge himself. I love the combination of spicy smells and the image of Lex surrendering.

(I was thinking about doing one with schnapps! ^^)

Hee, great minds think alike!

That Clark ... so thoughtful ... no ulterior motives at all :)
