Title: Day 2: Home for Christmas
Pairing/Characters: Bull Randleman/Johnny Martin
Warnings: none
Summary: prompt: Bull/Johnny, home for Christmas, for muccamukk


On Christmas Eve, there’s a knock at the door loud enough to lure Bull away from a stone hearth and the warmth of a well-stoked fire.

“You’re a long way from Ohio.”

Johnny’s smirk twitches, and he looks at Bull, expectantly. “You gonna let me in or what? C’mon, Bull, s’freezin’ out here.”

“Shouldn’t you be home for Christmas?” asks Bull, but he steps aside anyhow, allowing Johnny to enter the modest farmhouse, the shorter man’s shoulder brushing Bull’s chest as he passes. Johnny drops his bag next to a pair of Bull’s work boots and shrugs. “I am home.”

Baawww this so cute! I really love the opening sentence, you set the scene so well in a very limited space. :)

Thanks so much! <3 The original opening read much more like an ode to Arkansas farm life, but there's only so much of that a girl can keep in 100 words. Happy it worked out, nonetheless. :)

Aww, this is adorable. I love the last sentence in particular.

I'm so happy to hear that. I hesitated to end on such a cheesy note, but I thought, aww, hell, its Christmas, and carried on. Glad you enjoyed it! <3
