Secret Santa

As Stefon entered his dressing room, he grabbed a photo book that he had in one of his table drawers.

Afterwards, he sat on a corner and opened a page of the photo book. Then, he pointed to each cast member's face and cried softly to himself. When Seth decided to follow him, he noticed that the door was open, so he overheard Stefon talking to himself.

Seth proceeded to take a peek through the dressing room door to see what Stefon was doing.

Meanwhile, inside Stefon's dressing room, he said, "I'm sorry." each time he pointed at a cast member in each photo. Seth thought to himself, "Why could he be apologizing to us? I guess he's feeling that he dragged everyone's reputation through mud."

As Seth knocked on the door, Stefon hurriedly stood up while wiping his tears.

Then, Seth asked, "May I come in?" When he didn't hear an answer from Stefon, Seth decided to enter his dressing room anyway. Afterwards, Seth brought his arms out and told Stefon, "Please don't be scared of me, Stefon. I just want a hug from you, OK?"

Stefon slowly approached Seth afterwards.

As he was near, Seth gave Stefon a tight hug. Stefon hugged back, but not as tightly as the one gave him. A few seconds later, and Stefon buried his face on Seth's suit and started crying softly.

Seth pat Stefon's back to calm him down.

As Stefon stopped crying, he said softly, "I'm so sorry, Seth Meyers." Seth asked, "What are you apologizing for?" Stefon pulled away from the hug and replied, "We wouldn't have been suspended if I just kept shit to myself. And I could've made you so happy if I died."

Seth groaned in disappointment.

He said, "Don't say something like that. We're all happy that you survived. I'm the one who should be sorry. You wouldn't have been pushed to killing yourself if I didn't lay hands on you that day. Me not interacting with you was one of the hardest things I ever did, and the biggest regret that I ever made in my life since both of us met."

Seth kissed Stefon's lips after that.

As he pulled away a few seconds later, he caressed Stefon's face and told him while shedding a tear, "I love you, Stefon. I always have. Please don't ever forget that." Stefon wiped the tear that Seth shed earlier, hugged him, and replied, "I love you, too, Seth Meyers."

When the cameras stopped rolling, every cast member went back to their houses. Despite Seth offering Stefon to move into his house with him again, the latter chose to stay in his apartment.

A few weeks pass, and it was Seth's birthday, which was also the day that the cast scheduled their Secret Santa activity. Every cast member brought their gifts for the people that they picked as they came to work. When Stefon arrived, he was typing in his Macbook.

John suddenly called everyone for a meeting in his office.

Once every cast member was inside his office, John cleared his throat and said, "Welcome, everyone. Today, it's time for us to do Secret Santa." Everyone started cheering inside the room, until John continued talking, saying, "But before we start this... Let's first sing Happy Birthday to our ever so handsome writer and cast member, Seth Meyers!"

Everyone proceeded to sing Happy Birthday to Seth Meyers after that.

Then, John said, "In celebration of your big day, Seth, let this Secret Santa begin! Let's start with..." John stopped talking for a few seconds, until he suddenly blurted out, "Colin. Grab the gift that you bought first, then go to the middle. After that, you're gonna let all of us guess who you picked for Secret Santa first before you reveal who it actually was."

So, Colin grabbed his gift and proceeded to make everyone guess who he picked.

A few guesses later, Colin revealed that he picked Michael Che's name for Secret Santa. Michael gave his gift to Fred afterwards. Then, Fred gave his gift to Jimmy. Jimmy proceeded to give his gift to Cecily. After receiving her gift, Cecily revealed to have picked Colin's name.

Once Colin received his gift, John asked Andy to continue.

Andy revealed that he picked Kenan Thompson, so he gave him his gift. Kenan gave his gift to Vanessa Bayer. After that, Vanessa gave her gift to Jason. Jason proceeded to give his gift to Leslie Jones. Leslie revealed a few moments later that she picked Bobby. After Bobby received his gift from Leslie, he approached John to give him the gift that he bought.

As John received his gift, he noticed that only Seth and Stefon were the last people not to receive gifts.

So, he said, "Now that it's obvious that both of you are the only cast members not to receive any gift so far, I'd like both of you to grab the gifts that you have for each other, then step to the middle." Stefon suddenly blurted out, "Could I give out some small gifts for everyone first?"

When John allowed him, Stefon proceeded to give a mix of mini-sized candy bars that he individually gathered and wrapped the night before for every cast member that was inside John's office.

Once he was finished giving out his small presents, everyone smiled at Stefon and proceeded to thank him. Afterwards, he and Seth grabbed the gifts that they have for themselves. Then, Stefon volunteered to give his gift to Seth first and said, "Here's... here's the present that I got you. I'm sorry if it wasn't what you wanted to have, or what you had in mind. I... I still hope you like it. Merry Christmas, Seth Meyers..."

All of a sudden, Stefon stormed out of the office and began crying.
