Dinner. 

Evan Hansen was invited to a Christmas dinner with the Murphy's. 

He and Heidi stood shivering outside the grand house's wooden door, holding a plate of cookies. Despite them being Jewish it'd be Evan's first holiday with other people who weren't family. 

Evan nervously played with the collar of his jacket, Heidi smiling to try and give him confidence "It's gonna be fine sweetie!" she reassured, giving him a quick hug 

"Evan!" Zoe exclaimed, getting the door, a huge smile on her face "Mrs. Hansen! Come in! We were just setting up the table!" 

Christmas carols blasted from inside the house, the girl wore a large dark blue sweater embroidered with snowflakes all over. Evan smiled nervously and she ushered them into the house. The smell of turkey and cinnamon filled his lungs, Christmas lights were strung all over the house, previous family pictures of the Murphy's in front of their tree and decorations he presumed Connor and Zoe had made when they were younger also decorated the walls. 

"Moooo-OOOOMM!" Zoe yelled out, "Mrs. Heidi and Evan are here! AND THEY BROUGHT COOKIES!!!" 

Mrs. Heidi laughed and Evan nervously hanged his coat as Mrs. Cynthia ran out of the kitchen, oven mitts still on. After some quick 'thank-you-for-coming's' and them getting their coats off. Heidi and Cynthia rushed into the kitchen to take care of the food, while Evan nervously stood around with a plate of cookies. Zoe wasted no time in this precious opportunity 

"This is the living room!" She explained, leading him to a large room with two sofas, a fireplace and the biggest Christmas tree Evan had ever laid eyes on. 

It was decorated with rainbow lights and had ornaments and popcorn strung all over it. Two people were in the living room, both of whom he recognized from school. 

"You probably already know these guys! That's my wonderful girlfriend Alana~!" Zoe singsonged, making the dark skinned girl blush and wave up from the book she was reading 

Alana wore her dreadlocks in her usual ponytail, she wore a red sweater with green trim and the image of Santa's Sleigh stitched on. Evan waved nervously, before being nearly pushed onto the couch by Zoe, landing directly on top of the other guest. 

"And this is my idiot brother Connor! You two should get to know each other!" Zoe exclaimed, clapping her hands 

Connor wore a large back Christmas sweater, which lit up immediately with rainbow lights when Evan landed on him. The blonde nervously smiled 

"Hello" Connor greeted in monotone, booping Evan's nose with his own 

"Um-uh-yeah hey" Evan mumbled before realizing the position they were in 

"Oh-oh sp-spruce! I'm sorry" he immediately apologized, getting off and sitting up 

From behind them Zoe laughed "OOOOOoooooKAAAAYYYY! Me and Alana are gonna be making mashed sweet potato cookies-" she singsonged as her girlfriend walked over and they both dashed to the kitchen 

Connor groaned annoyedly and Evan chuckled, setting down the plate of cookies on the table with a small nativity scene. 

"Sooo you come here often?" Evan asked awkwardly

Connor laughed "I live here? But not often,"

Evan cringed and flushed embarrassedly. He took a quick look around the living room before flopping back onto Connor, snuggling into the sweater.

"Ya think they suspect anything?"

"Nope, Zoe is still trying to set us up."

Evan laughed, and Connor cracked a smirk at the adorable sound. They'd been dating in the closet for around three months. After they'd met in the park due to less than pleasant circumstances they'd started to talk. They still hid their relationship to practically everyone else (except for the time Jared found them making out behind a tree).

They laid together in silence, letting the aroma and sounds of Christmas fill the air, and just enjoying each other's calming presence.

"We could tell them tonight, Zoe's planted mistletoe under every doorway I checked" Connor whispered, running his hands through Evan's hair

"B-But what if-what if they hate us? What if they kick us ou-out!? What if they hurt you-" Evan stammered, before Connor cupped his head into his hands and turned it to the window

It was snowing, it was a full blown snowstorm at this point. Connor was grinning from ear to ear, hearing Heidi squeal as a certain song came on the record they were playing. He grabbed Evan's hand and yanked him off the couch, the shorter boy protesting as he did

"C-Con! What if someone-someone-"

"Shut up and dance with me" Connor shushed, pulling Evan into a waltz position

"I really can't stay-" Evan protested making Connor laugh

"But baby it's cold outside" the taller boy sang, twirling them around the room

Evan blushes and held an iron grip on Connor's hands

"I've got to go away" Evan sang back

Connor rolled his eyes and make it so that his head rested on Evan's shoulder. He stuck out his lower lip

"But it's cold" he pouted

"You're a mess" Evan laughed "My Mother's gonna start to worry"

"Beautiful what's your hurry?"

"Your Father's gonna be pacing the floor-"

Connor spun Evan around, making the blonde shriek slightly. They swayed around the living room

"Listen to the fireplace roar"

"I should better hurry-" Evan sang before smirking

"but maybe just a half a drink more" he sang with a laugh

"Put some records on while I pour-" Conor sang, leaning into a kiss before a squeal made them both look up

Zoe was holding a video camera and grinning like a Cheshire Cat, Heidi was watching amusedly and Alana just smiled calmly. Cynthia beamed like if it was the most beautiful thing she'd witnessed in a while. Evan squeaked making Connor nearly drop him thanks to the new found and unwanted attention. 

"I was just coming in to say dinner was ready-" Cynthia started

"Zoe pay up!" Alana exclaimed, her girlfriend groaned and pulled out a twenty dollar bill.
