Five days before Christmas and Tyler has spent all day getting things prepared for their busy day ahead. After yesterday's fiasco, Tyler just wanted to spend a nice, fun day with his loving boyfriend. He went to the store bright and early that morning - well, afternoon - to collect all the ingredients he would need for baking with Joshua.

He got wrapping paper and tape, pretty, holographic bows and gift tags. Oh! And gift bags! He brought out their collection of Christmas movies and set a few fuzzy blankets out on the couch. Popcorn and big plastic bowls were waiting in the cabinets, along with Tyler's favorite seasoning for the snack!

They needed to make all the treats for the party tomorrow night, wrap presents and finish the night off by snuggling up together and watching some good Christmas movies. They needed time to just relax and be them again, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

While Tyler was at the store getting everything they would need to wrap gifts and such, Joshua busied himself with cleaning the house, wanting it to be spotless. He swept the floors and mopped, wiped the counters and tidied up any trash that happened to be lying around, he even did the dishes and laundry.

By the time Tyler entered the house, Joshua had just finished vacuuming the carpet, but stopped the moment his eyes laid on Tyler. He set the vacuum cleaner aside and rushed over to his boyfriend, instantly helping him carry inside all of the bags, which contained baking ingredients and supplies for wrapping gifts.

He wrapped his arms around Tyler's waist and pulled him in close, rubbing their noses together affectionately. "I've missed you, Baby." He whispered in a loving tone, hands roaming over the sweet curves of Tyler's body. "Can't wait to cuddle up with you later on. But first, we have lots of gifts to wrap and many desserts to make." Joshua smiled and giggled, kissing every high point of Tyler's face.

Tyler kissed Joshua's lips deeply, hands cupping his boyfriend's face as the latter's hands roamed his body. Tyler was, without a doubt, loving all the affection he was getting from Joshua. He was incredibly grateful that the boy was up and cleaning, because it was one less thing Tyler would have to do that day. It was a sweet act when he helped Tyler with the bags as well.

Tyler just couldn't help but get flustered because of all the chivalrous tasks his boyfriend was performing. Because of the holiday season, both boys were stressed to the max, so today was just a day where they could relax and have a bit of time for themselves, and remind them of why they were together.

Joshua loved the holidays, but they could tend to be quite emotionally and physically draining. So, he's glad that today gives them an opportunity to catch up on cuddling and kisses and some sleep. Maybe even a little love-making, who knows. All they had to do was get a bit of Christmas wrapping out of the way, then the rest of the day was theirs to snuggle up with each other, accompanied by Christmas movies and the crackling of a fire.
