In honor of holiday season, you and Alhaitham decided to deck the halls of your apartment.

While Alhaitham found joy in the twinkling lights and the scent of pine from the Christmas tree, nothing compared to how happy and excited you looked to be doing this with him—especially since it was your first time celebrating together.

Approaching you silently, he wrapped his arms around you, filled with anticipation of building new traditions and sharing the magic of the season together.
