Prompt #15: Nutcracker
{197 words}
“It’s a giant Nutcracker!”
Ary laughed, highly amused, as he watched the wonder and awe on Drake’s face as they came up before an extremely tall Nutcracker which was a part of the decor of the Christmas Village they were visiting.
“He’s twice, no, thrice my height!”
“That’s because you’re short,’’ Ary quipped, bobbing his head. He was very much teasing the other boy, of course.
“I’m not that short!” the sixteen year old replied, poking Ary in the arm. He marched over to the Nutcracker to stand by its side. “Grab a picture of us, please.”
Ary was only happy to oblige. Using his phone, he clicked a few pictures of Drake and the Nutcracker. “Okay! I’ve got a couple of you and your boyfriend.”
Drake made a face at Ary, who was grinning.
“So what do you think? You both look quite photogenic if you ask me.”
“Meh. I look okay.”
Ary snorted. “If you say so. I think you look quite cute.” He linked his arm through one of Drake’s. “Shall we venture on to look for more Nutcrackers, then?”
Drake patted Ary’s hand that was linked through his. “Thank you! And yes, please!” |
