Slay Bells (Waiter Version)
Added 2025-09-22 12:30:02 +0000 UTCMal's urge to kiss you properly only heightens when you ghost your fingers through his hair, pushing it back slightly. They come away a little damp from melted flurries. If they're chilled, he'd warm them up by bringing them to his chest like the hand he's holding onto, clasping it near his heart. He waits.
"Stay."

[Alternate Text: An image of a snowflake waffle maker! There is one creation baking in the press itself alongside two plated waffles. It's an entire spread with hot chocolate, syrup, butter, powdered sugar and fresh berries. The waffle shape is a relatively safe one with the snowflake's segmentation being pressed into the batter, unlike the on in this writing where there are individual spires/ridges that are harder to lift free. Still, it all looks delicious.]
If Mal thought heart-shaped waffles were horrendous to delicately pry free, imagine his reaction to Clyde's enthusiastic introduction of snowflake ones. Each one has many fine points that are meant to be symmetrically 'pretty'. He lacks an inherent dislike of this shape's associated holiday, or at least it isn't quite as strong.
His disdain grows as delivery orders pile up; townsfolk are eager to bring this new taste of the holidays into their homes.

2025-09-26 07:26:46 +0000 UTCIt was B/Mal conflict. Am I happy or anguished to be right? It's just that!!! Jam has feelings for both!!! What is she supposed to do, suffer? (resounding yes, everyone cheers) Lmao, Bethany is so scared of Mal, I'm so sorry girl, you got on his bad side 🥲Also, slight awww because Mal is trying for Clyde, even though he's not in the best mood. HMM I don't know why but I'm staring at how the cold of the snow penetrates Mal's jacket but doesn't leave a deep chill. Unfortunately, why do I get the feeling that Mal is used to a different chill down to the bone that something as ordinary as snow can't match 😭 Okay. Hey, you know what I *do not like* is that when Mrs D is about to leave the B&B warmth to follow Mal, he immediately thinks, "she'll get sick" and he turns around so she stops. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, she'll get sick. lmao hate this because Mal knows things about everyone in town!!! Loop after loop! Aelsa why are you doing this to Jam's mother in law (conditional). I love and hate Jam and Beckett's matching sweaters, because of course. But also, that's so cute of them. They're so snuggly and sweet on Christmas with the gang around - okay, but this isn't about them, even if it is B/Mal conflict. Mal has so much haterism when describing B and Jam's relationship as familiar, comfortable, blind even. But I'm calling this man out, lol, he cannot stand to think about B and Jam actually being in love. Protecting himself... I'm sooooo in my feels when Mal thinks about warming Jam's hands next to his heart. And when he thinks the emotional in-between is better than none. He's willing to wait😭😭😭
