Matched (joshler) (COMPLETED)

Rough Night

Tyler, Josh, Dallon and the girls sit around the living room, enjoying their coffees and hot chocolate while How the Grinch Stole Christmas plays on the TV. It's Christmas morning and the girls had woken the couple up early to open presents.

Dylan got a new phone from her dad, a custom phone case of her favorite band from Josh, a new skateboard from Dallon, and a new beanie and hoodie from Dakota.

Dakota got a new phone as well, a case with the quote "Brain & Beauty all in one cutie" from Josh, an eyeshadow pallet and face, hair, and eye masks from Dallon, and a new mermaid tail make up brush set from Dylan.

Dakota and Dylan gave Tyler his gift of a new headset for work, a Carhart coat and a new pair of sneakers that he desperately needed, before giving Josh and Dallon their own separate gifts.

Elton got a stocking full of treats and a few new toys that everyone picked out as well.

Tyler made breakfast for everyone before settling down on the couch, ready to have a lazy day in his pajamas.

"Dad, can we have friendsmas here tomorrow?" Dakota asks. "We were supposed to have it at Makenna's but her mom changed her mind."

Tyler looks at her weirdly, "Can you have what here tomorrow?"

"Friendsmas."

"Josh, Google that for-"

"Friendsmas," Josh reads, already having it pulled up on his phone. "The merry mash-up of "friends" and "Christmas," a festive celebration that extends the warmth of the holiday season to the family we choose: our friends."

Tyler nods, "Sure."

"Get with the lingo, my dudes," Dylan teases, sending a smile to the older couple. Tyler pushes her face away making her smile. Dylan looks at her sister, "Can Mercury and I join you guys?"

"You guys have only been dating like two weeks."

"So? He's a friend."

"Nobody knows him besides you. You're not close enough to have him be part of Friendsmas."

Dylan stares at her for a moment as they older man listen to them bicker back and forth, "I'm close enough to have already slept with him, how many of your friends can you say that about?"

Dallon starts coughing uncontrollably as he chokes on his coffee. He gasps for air as Tyler laughs and slaps him repeatedly on the back.

"You're disgusting," Dakota states.

Dylan shrugs, turning her attention back to the movie. Dallon finally catches his breath and looks at Tyler, "I don't even know what to say to that."

Tyler smiles, "Welcome to the world of having teenagers."

Tyler lies with his head on Josh's chest, eyes shut, peacefully listening to the man's heartbeat as the the man's fingers graze his side softly. The brunette smiles gently, thinking about the current scene. He's in love and he's in love with being in love. And he's happy that Josh is the man he's in love with. He shifts his body and snuggles closer to him, his nose nearly pressing against the underside of his jaw. Josh hugs him closer with a kiss to his forehead.
