Christmas with him <3
It's the morning of Christmas and Whippet has seemed to unlock his inner child as he bolted down the stairs to the Christmas tree eager to see what his husband had gotten him. A grumpy but happy Reidy slowly followed behind yawning nearly every three seconds as it was just past 8:00am.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!! WOO!!"
Whippet yelled practically deafening his significant other. Along with Christmas it also happened to be their five year anniversary of being married. As Reidy slowly woke up to his surroundings around him he couldn't help but laugh a bit at Whippet who had already ripped into his gifts.
"Well come on, open your presents bud, I wanna see what gifts you got!"
Whippet exclaimed handing a present off to Reidy. He gracefully took the present and ripped into it only to reveal a photo album. He was confused at first that's for sure but when he started flicking through the images it all made sense.
"Happy anniversary babe, I didn't want to be a lame one and get you some crappy gift I know you'd probably forget about so with a helping hand from some people I put this together for you, I hope you like it!"
Whippet said as he pulled Reidy in for a soft kiss. After a few seconds Reidy pulled away and slowly wiped away tears that had been welling up. They both shared a few more laughs as they flipped through the rest of the photo album. As the morning went on they unwrapped and showed off their new presents to each other and shared more laughs and some more passionate kisses along the way. As Whippet expertly unwrapped another present, his jaw dropped from seeing what it was at first glance.
"OMG! NO WAY!?"
Whippet held out a very large but luxurious golden hoodie with his name and a few butterflies embroided into it. He instantly threw it over himself and let out a small moan at how comfy it was.
"Sorry, did you just moan at a hoodie?"
Reidy slowly asked and he held his hand over his mouth to contain the laughter from pouring out. Blonde boy slowly opened his eyes, now filled with dread and turned to face Reidy who was already red in face from trying so desperately not to laugh his ass off.
"NO! no! no? I mean probably not, you're just hearing shit!"
He scoffed trying to save himself but it was no use. After fussing about for a bit he just gave in and accepted it. They continued to finish opening all the gifts.
"Jandals, really?"
"Lynx? Africa? Oh my days I absolutely hate you!"
"Aww I love you too!"
"How'd you know I wanted this!?"
"I dunno... must have been a lucky guess after you pointing it out everytime we passed it"
And just like that the last present was unwrapped so reluctantly Whippet fell into Reidy's embrace and wrapped him in a tight hug. As the soft hymns of Last Christmas danced around in the background, Whippet hunkered down in Reidy's lap and started murmuring along to the music as Reidy gently stroked his rough blonde hair away from his eyes.
"Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special"
"I love Andrew"
"I love you too Ryan"
