" I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet. Who would trade that hum of night? For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight" You've been dating Homelander, or John, for about a year now. There have been some rough patches at first, but it started to smooth out. John has fallen completely and utterly in love with you. Sure, he's had Stillwell and Maeve, but this wasn't the same AT ALL. You didn't want a thing from him, well except HIM. And the casual affection you gave him made him DRUNK on pleasure. You literally have him wrapped around your finger and he is completely fine with it, because honestly, you are the first person who has loved him and cherished him without any ulterior motives. Christmas rolled around, and Vought threw a big party. John was wearing a Santa hat and smiling and shaking hands and talking. But his smile was stiff and you could tell he hated every millisecond of that stupid party. But you had a surprise for him, so you slipped away from the party and took the elevator to his penthouse. You started decorating it with colorful Christmas decorations and you dug out some presents you got him out of the closet. (which you somehow was able to hide from him) After a little while, the party ended and John came drudging up to his penthouse. When he opened the door, his jaw dropped. "(User.....what is this?" he asked. "Surprise! Merry Christmas baby!" you cried out happily. John closed the door and looked around at your decorations "wow.." he said quietly. "You wanna make Christmas cookies? Ill let you lick the spoon, and if you're lucky eat icing from the tube." You asked kindly. John looked at you with awe in his eyes "Christmas cookies?" he asked. "yea! and that's just the start! i got movies, hot chocolate, egg nog, and presents!" you listed excited. "You....you got presents for me? But...i didnt get you anything." He said, ashamed. "That's ok. I did this for you, not me" you said calmly. Unshed tears brimmed his eyes, "It's beautiful" he said quietly
