wordsofwisdomWho: Shannon Webster and Fin Bennett
What: Christmas surprise!
Where: Shannon's place, Leonia, NJ
When: Friday
"Are you sure your eyes are covered and shut?!" Shannon asked for about the sixth time once Fin had arrived at his place. Fin was going to be staying the night, but it was literally impossible for Shannon to be able to hide his present up until Christmas. There had been all sorts of potential ideas around how to pull that off. Shannon had brainstormed with his family, until ultimately Niko pointed out that what was a couple of days, all things considered? Christmas didn't have to be isolated to just one day. Besides, once Fin's present had arrived at Shannon's place, there was no way he could keep his excitement at bay and try to pretend around his boyfriend there was no big deal going on.
"Oh, wait! Fuck! Don't take another step, you're about to run into the coffee table!" he warmed quickly, waving his hands. He wheeled himself over to where Fin was standing in a blindfold he asked his mom to put on his boyfriend, and took Fin's hand. "Come here. Okay, you can open them!" Sitting on the coffee table in a basket lined with Christmas blankets and a big red bow tied around the handle was a tiny red micro teacup poodle puppy in all her adorable glory. "Merry Christmas, baby!"

Dec. 24th, 2016 04:26 pmtomorrowneverknowsLook at my beautiful man, messing about with his dad in his recording studio. He made this a few weeks ago when we went to Vermont for a visit. I'm so in love, I make myself sick with the cheesy :D
tomorrowneverknowsWho: Billy and Ajay Willis
What: Christmassing with a sick person
Where: Home, NYC
When: Friday evening
Billy came up behind the sofa where Ajay was lying, holding a sprig of mistletoe over his head with a smile. "I'd offer to kiss it better, baby, but I know that work. This is the next best thing," he said and leaned in close to give Ajay a tender kiss. Billy had known as soon as Ajay relented at work the other day and asked Billy to come and get him that Ajay really needed to come home and be heaped with TLC. At that point, Billy hadn't known exactly what was wrong. Ajay's health could yo-yo, and it could well be that he wasn't feeling well because he was having a slip with his bulimia - which did happen sometimes - or because he was in pain from the Crohn's he had to deal with, like it or not.
Turned out, it was the latter. Ajay had terrible stomach pain, but he had been putting up a professional and friendly facade for a girl that had wanted to meet with Gen. Billy understood the importance of FABULOUS business, having been Gen's PA for awhile, but Ajay needed to listen to his body. He had this chronic illness that could be crippling for him sometime. It was Billy's job as his husband to step in and care for him. That afternoon, Ajay had been really sick. He ended up being stuck in the bathroom for ages, lamenting in misery how he could have been stuck at work like that... likely ending up completely mortified. Ajay was such a private and self-conscious person with his mental illness. He was better at home, where it was okay to be sick and fragile around your other half.
Billy had it all in hand. Though, after managing to finally get out of the bathroom, Ajay had just needed to go to bed and sleep. Which is exactly what he did. Billy kept checking on him frequently in between watching the Queen concert at Wembley Stadium. Ajay had to really be watched closely when he got sick like this because the condition could mean he got internal bleeds, which were a medical emergency. So far, it hadn't seem to have gotten to that point, touch wood.
Billy then offered a hot water bottle in a fluffy purple cover for Ajay's stomach that he had tucked under his arm, and came around to plant his butt on the edge of the sofa in against Ajay's hip. He was waiting on the pot of peppermint tea to brew, the only thing Ajay was managing to keep down at the moment. Even just the thought of having a Christmas meal was making Ajay retch. If they needed ti dial back Christmas to peppermint tea, Pepto and hot water bottles, that was exactly what they would do. He touched Ajay's forehead with the back of his fingers. "You've still got a fever. Are you sure we shouldn't take you to the hospital to get checked out?"

Dec. 24th, 2016 04:48 pmfriendsforeverWho: Layla Morton and Justin Campbell
What: Last minute Christmas shopping
Where: New York City
When: Day before Christmas Eve
Ultimately, it was Layla who swooped in and offered to go Christmas shopping with Justin. She called him up and asked him if he was still in Boston or New York, and said he was back in New York, and Sasha and his parents would be coming the next day to have Christmas with the Campbell/Hart/O'Connor clan.
It was obvious Justin was on a Very Important Mission - to find Sasha a Christmas present. Layla thought it was sweet how determined he was. It wasn't like he had much of a chance prior, considering he and Sasha had only just begun dating. Justin still wanted to get his new boyfriend a present, though, because he knew right now, Sasha was falling through the cracks with everything going on with Andi. Everything he had been facing lately was about Andi, but that didn't take away the fact Sasha was still there with feelings. Justin wanted to acknowledge their first Christmas together. It was the season of giving. This was what it all meant.
Of course, New York through the days of last minute Christmas shopping was absolute NUTS. She had been trailing around with him holding his hand so he wasn't in the throngs of people alone. She knew Justin didn't do well with a lot of physical contact, unless he was aware it was going to happen. There was also always a risk he would get noticed, but he had on a hoodie, over a trendy bandanna tied around his head. Dude was hip, to say the least. It effectively covered his hair, and unless someone was specifically on the look-out for him, so far, he was blending in easily.
"Sure you don't want to sit on Santa's knee and tell him what you want for Christmas?" she joked. "What is it you're looking for? Maybe we can Google it and see where the best options to get it are?"

Hi Gorgeous,
Merry Christmas! I love you and I can't wait to see you a little later on, but I wanted you to have this. The lotus flower symbolizes something beautiful growing out of mud, and you have always been this beautiful person who always finds more strength in yourself in the face of heatbreak and adversity. You inspire me and make me proud to know you every day.
I love you,
Jude
