Twenty-Four Hours of 'A Christmas Story' - Fandom Christmas in July 2020
Summary: Fandom Christmas in July 2020 drabble: July 22 - prompt "Christmas movie marathon"
Rating: T
A/N - One of thirty-one prompts for the thirty-one days of July. I plan to fill as many of them as I can with two hundred word drabbles.
Twenty-Four Hours of 'A Christmas Story'
22. Prompt – Christmas movie marathon
Fandom – Cabin Pressure
Ship – Gen, all character friendships
Title – Twenty-Four Hours of ‘A Christmas Story’.
“Douglas, this looks fun. Can we watch it?”
Douglas flicked his eyes up from his book to Arthur, who was brandishing a remote, to the large telly against the hotel room wall. The description for a movie called ‘A Christmas Story’ was on the screen, but he didn’t bother reading it. The title and Arthur’s enthusiasm told him all he needed to know.
“As long as you keep the volume down so I can read, I don’t care what you watch.” He looked longingly toward the window and grumbled to himself once again about the rain ruining his much-anticipated holiday layover in Hawaii.
Less than two hours later, Arthur bounced on his bed. “Oh, it’s on again! Do you mind?”
“Reading, Arthur,” Douglas reminded him.
“Right, sorry. Sorry.”
An untold amount of time later, but surely longer than any single movie could be, Douglas looked up to find Arthur repeating along with dialogue from the same movie. “It’s a major award!”
“Arthur, how many times have you watched this?”
“Uhm, three. So far.”
Douglas frowned. “So far?”
The younger man nodded and grinned. “See, apparently they run this same movie over and over for twenty-four hours straight! Isn’t that brilliant?”
