It was a particularly cold winter day. Soft wind blowing through the icy streets, snowflakes ever so delicately landing on roofs of houses, or joining the millions of other snowflakes on the ground. The sun was covered by the white clouds, leaving a rather dark atmosphere. The lack of light didn't prevent kids from the neighborhood to go out, playing in the snow in their gear. Due to the street being on a hill, many of them tobogganed down the roads, forcing any cars trying to drive up to wait for the children to move. 

Most people would either be last-minute gift shopping, brightening their homes with festive decorations, or simply celebrating the Holiday with family, however not Zander and Luke. 

Inside one of the many identical suburban homes in the neighborhood, two twenty-seven-year-olds lay snuggled up together in their bed, bundled up in the warm, heated-bed sheets, protecting them from the cold weather, talking about anything and everything.

"So, you wanna go visit my family this year?" Zander asked, glancing up at his boyfriend.

"Mhm," Luke hummed, not daring to open his eyes as he held Zander close to him, "You're warm..."  

Gently smiling at the comment, Zander couldn't help but blush at the sight of his lover. Luke looked ever so peaceful, the warm, yellow light from the lamp on his nightstand reflecting off his face, complimenting his features. 

Zander reached his hand up, tucking some of Luke's auburn strands out of his face. Zander then tore his gaze away from the golden-eyed boy, he cranked his neck back to look at the clock on his nightstand. 

11:16

So late in the morning, yet Zander felt no motivation to get up. Which was understandable, he had never been a morning person. His work started at 7:00 am, forcing him up at at least six. Whenever he got the opportunity to sleep in, he took advantage of it. Lucky for him, he and Luke both had the week of Christmas off. 

Zander let out a sigh, grateful to be able to sleep in without anyone judging him. Luke was the only person he lived with, and he'd definitely be the last person to judge Zander. 

Turning back to his lover, Zander spoke up, "I think we should visit your family this year." 

His eyes remaining closed, Luke mumbled, "Oh yeah, why's that?" 

"Because," Zander said, letting out a loud exhale, "My family's so much bigger. We'd have to get gifts for my parents, my sisters, all four of my grandparents, my aunts, and my uncles," He paused, taking a moment to adjust his position in the drummer's arms, "Since your family is so much smaller, we'd only have to get gifts for your mom, your aunt, and your grandpa. We haven't even started gift shopping, and if we go to your family we'd only need to get three gifts. It would buy us more time to buy my family's gifts since we'd have until New Year until we see them, so that's an extra five days," He explained, "Plus, it's such a shorter drive to your grandpa's place."

Luke couldn't help but laugh causing Zander to look at him, confused.

"You're so lazy," Luke giggled, his honey eyes finally fluttering open, filled with joy. 

Zander's face shifted to a pout as he narrowed his eyes, "Well, you made a commitment! Now you're stuck with me!" He exclaimed, jokingly. 

Luke chuckled, moving his hand to caress Zander's cheek, "I'm not complaining..." He murmured, "I love and adore every single one of your flaws. All of them added up with your endless positive traits, make up the amazing, independent man I fell in love with..." Luke leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on his boyfriend's forehead.
