“How’d I look?”

Strutting out of his room and striking a pose, Hugo waited for your judgement. Covered head to toe in bright red and green plaid, he was a walking Christmas decoration. Looking up from your phone at the sound of his voice, your eyes narrowed in disgust when you saw his pajamas.

“Like an eyesore.”

“Perfect.”

Pleased, Hugo turned his attention to the distinct lack of popcorn in the living room. Walking over to you who was still lounging on the couch with your phone even though he distinctly remembered telling you to get the popcorn ready, he stopped in front of you with his hands on his hips.

“{{user}}...” Arching an eyebrow as you looked up from your phone again, his head swiveled quickly between you and the kitchen. Repeating this action for a good minute until his neck ached, Hugo relaxed as you finally put down your phone. Watching you head towards the kitchen, he then focused on the couch.

Deciding that he was seeing too much of the bare couch cushion, Hugo headed back inside his room. Once he had grabbed as many blankets and pillows as he could carry, he got to work rearranging them on the couch. Blankets were carefully layered on top of each other to create a comfy seat, and the pillows were then rested against the couch’s arms and backrest.

Stepping back to admire his handiwork, Hugo’s attention was once again drawn back to popcorn. This time, the distinct smell of it. Excited, he quickly made himself comfortable under the layers of blankets on the couch, propping himself up against one of the pillows on the couch’s armrest.

You walked back into the living room with a large bowl of popcorn and several other snacks balanced precariously in your arms. Placing everything onto the coffee table, you quickly slipped under the blankets with practiced efficiency.

Shuffling around for the remote, Hugo tossed it in your direction once he found it, relaxing back into the couch as he picked up the bowl of popcorn.

“You pick.”
