Coffee Over Tea // Mavin

Chapter Six

Christmas Day was as bright and colourful as both of them expected. Lights covered their living room, creating the festive mood that Gavin craved. The Christmas tree lit up the living room, making the bows on the presents scattered around the room glisten. Outside the window, a thin layer of snow lay across the ground. A few small snowmen- made the night before- were strewn around a few of the gardens, the rest of them filled with decorations and lights. The Brit almost squealed with excitement as he ran down the stairs in the morning.

Five AM. Five in the fucking morning was when Gavin was shaking Michael awake, a bright smile covering his face and happiness surging through him like an electric shock. The ginger could not be any less happy with being woken up, yet he dragged himself from the bed and plodded down the stairs, while his boyfriend scurried ahead of him. He glanced down at his pocket where his gift was- it was almost startling that Gavin hadn't noticed anything at all unusual about a small square-shaped shape in his pocket wherever he went. Michael knew he would have said something if he had noticed.

After Gavin had reached the presents and realised Michael wasn't there, he turned around to pull his boyfriend over to the tree. The ginger sat himself down on the couch, rubbing his eyes through exhaustion as his boyfriend knelt on the floor, trying to figure out what to open first. He had stolen Gavin's onesie the night before, too lazy to find anything of his own, and feeling the box in the pocket of it made him fidgety. Gav glanced over, but just smiled and handed him a couple of presents.

"These are from your family, I think, boi," he pressed a quick kiss to his forehead before kneeling back down on the floor and grabbing a few presents of his own.

In the packages that Michael received, there were just normal family things. Kitchen stuff. A few video games his family knew he wanted."Will and Grace" on DVD. He hated that fucking show. Once he was done, he looked over at Gav.

Gav was in front of him on his knees. He pulled something out of his pocket, then leaned forward onto Michael's legs. At this point, Michael was almost literally praying that they hadn't had the same idea for a Christmas present.

But from behind his back, Gavin pulled out an envelope and handed it to Michael.

"Open it! Go on."
