Chris and Zach stood next to the Christmas tree, watching as Junior tried to put an ornament on a high branch. Chris laughed and lifted him off the ground so he could place the golden orb on the tree.

He looked at Zach, who was looking at them with a slight smile on his face; when he noticed Chris looking, he frowned and looked away. Chris held back a sigh that wanted to escape him and went back to helping Junior place his ornaments on the tree.

They finished decorating the tree, and Chris lifted Junior up so he could place the star on top. "I did it," the six-year-old squealed and clapped his hands. He had glitter in his hair and all over his face from the touch of the sparkly decorations.

"You sure did," Chris said, picking Junior up just as the little boy yawned. Are you sleepy?" he asked, and Junior nodded. He wrapped his hand around Chris's neck and closed his eyes.

Chris looked over at Zach, who had moved to the couch and was staring blankly at the tree. He decided to just take Junior up to his room. He placed the boy on his bed and pulled the covers over him.

He went back downstairs and saw that Zach still hadn't moved from his position. He sat beside him and looked at the tree, too. "Martin and Koki are coming for Christmas tomorrow," Chris said, and Zach nodded.

"What about the others?" Zach asked, and Chris looked over at him.

"I don't know what they are doing. Aviva wanted to spend Christmas with me, but I don't want to; Jimmy Z might go to Grandpa Z," Chris replied, and Zach nodded.

"I'll go start dinner; Junior will be hungry when he wakes up," Zach said, making his way to the kitchen. Chris got up and followed behind him.

He watched as Zach got everything he needed to make dinner and placed them on the counter.

Chris moved closer to him and stood beside him. "Can I help?" He asked, and Zach froze, looking at him a moment before he nodded; he handed Chris the carrot pepper and a few carrots.

Chris peeled the carrots in silence, then stood back and watched Zach finish what he was doing: cutting up small pieces of meat and putting them in the pot along with a few other pieces of vegetables. Zach handed him a knife and told him to cut the carrot.

Chris got distracted thinking about Zach's smell while cutting the carrot and only zoned back in when he felt gentle hands take his and water ran over his fingers; looking down, he realized he had cut himself with the knife and didn't even notice.

Chris looked at Zach and noticed how close he was to him. His eyes roamed Zach's face from sideways. Zach turned off the water, ripped a piece of paper towel, and wrapped it around his finger before looking up at Chris to see the look the other man was giving him and blushed bright red.

"Chr....mhm," Zach began but was cut off as lips were attached to his. Chris's hands circled his waist and pulled him closer, and Zach moaned. I took the kiss. They pulled away, and Chris pressed his Forehead against Zach's.

"What was that for?" The green-eyed Omega asked, looking up at him and pulling away. His lips were slightly red, and his cheeks were the same.

"Can we talk after dinner?" Chris asked as they heard tiny footsteps coming towards them. Zach nodded before turning back to the pot, and Chris went off to Junior.
