Christmas Day at the Gilberts|| Jelliott
It was an early morning even for James. The brunette hadn’t seemed to mind for once when Elliott had woken him in his childhood room, kissing his neck and murmuring Merry Christmas to coax him out of his slumber. It had still been dark but Elliott couldn’t contain his childish excitement at it being Christmas day. It had always been a time when he had trouble sleeping but more so this year when he had someone with him that he was looking forward to surprising. They were dressed in the festive pyjama’s that Elliott had surprised James with the night before. It was a tradition to have a new set for Christmas day and if James was going to join in on his family festivities, he had to take part in this too.
Downstairs and both of them had squeezed onto the armchair, Elliott’s arm tucked comfortably around his submissive’s waist. with James half on top of him as they picked up the first presents. He had hoped that the instant camera would be a good choice; the perfect thing to capture the days celebrations with and his Christmas card which was a little bit wordy for his tastes but it was difficult to say how he felt or even show it when his mother and father were in the room. Still, he was glad they had welcomed James in too, being embarrassingly happy for their son finally seeming to find someone to settle down with.
“I thought you might have some fun with that.” He murmured softly after a moment.
