This drabble actually went on to become a fic in its own right; read it here.
Lex hates Christmas. He tells himself that's why he so needed Clark here tonight: a comfortable friend to deflect that insidious holiday cheer. (Plus, Martha taught him lovely manners - Clark is always last to leave, always volunteers to help clean up.)
He’s lying, having Christmas parties at all. And he shouldn’t be hitting the peppermint schnapps so hard. He really shouldn’t be noticing where Clark is standing in relation to the mistletoe.
But the mansion, now empty of visitors, smells of balsam and spice … so Lex surrenders, and winds himself around Clark like tinsel.
“Lex? What …”
“Shh. ’Tis the season.”
