Casey/Zeke ficlet: The Dead Tree

Here is my ficlet for the C/Z Xmas Box! My prompt word was tree and I tried to keep it to a drabble but that didn't work out. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] aliensouldream and [livejournal.com profile] honeyandvinegar for organizing the fest!



Title: The Dead Tree
Fandom: The Faculty
Pairing: Casey/Zeke
Rating: PG
Word Count: 250
Summary: Casey brings Zeke a Christmas tree



"What kind of a tree is that?" said Zeke. "It looks dead."

"It's deciduous," said Casey. "Come on, invite me in, it's freezing out here."

Zeke's house was big and empty as always, but at least it was warm. He'd said he didn't mind his parents hopping off to Switzerland without him, and he'd turned down the invitation to spend Christmas with the Connors, said he was looking forward to his traditional monster movie marathon at home.

"Aren't you supposed to be some kind of biology genius?" Casey said when he'd gotten his coat and boots off.

"I thought you were upset I didn't have a Christmas tree. Christmas trees are evergreens, Casey."

"Yeah, well." Casey took a deep breath. "This one isn't the kind of tree you throw away after the holidays. This is the kind you care for and keep." He found a good place for it in the living room and started getting the decorations out of his backpack, only mildly embarrassed by his own lack of subtlety. "Are you gonna help me with this?"

"In a minute," said Zeke, and he made Casey drop the decorations so they could give all their attention to the kiss. He made it last awhile.

"Merry Christmas," Casey said after.

"Merry Christmas," said Zeke, and stared at him for another minute. "Thanks for the…I get it."

"Good."

Zeke just had to make everything hard for himself. Until Casey made it easy for Zeke to be easier on himself. Lovely story. It gave me warm fuzzies. Thanks for this.

I adore Casey's lack of subtlety. And Zeke's getting it!

*melts* Oh, how I love that!!!!! It may not be subtle, but it worked!!!! I love that Zeke insists on a long kiss and is grateful for Casey's "message".

Thank you! This is awesome! :)
