Family Moments

Firelight danced across the room, tingeing the wood and furniture a soft gold around the edges.
North was sprawled on a massive armchair, snoring louder than his chainsaw, with little candy canes dancing over his head like sugar plums.
Bunny was stretched out on his end of one of the couches, head leaning back in an awkward position and foot twitching as the dream-sand carrots were ravaged by dream-sand bunnies.
Tooth occupied the other end curled up like a cat, wings buzzing every now and then as she mumbled something about premolars in Houston or bicuspids in Tokyo, the glow of teeth over her head highlighting the fairy’s smile.
A purr rumbled from Jade’s chest as she took in the sight, pressing back more firmly into Jack’s chest as his arm tightened over her waist.
Eyes half-lidded in contentment, she watched Sandy float by in his sleep, sprinkling the sand over his fellows as he passed.
As the little golden shapes of the Guardians appeared over her head, lulling the dragon-girl to sleep, Jade wondered if this was what family felt like.
