A knock came from the door downstairs. Philip moved to go answer it, but he could hear his Dad beat him to it.

"Oh, hello George!" John said downstairs, opening the door to let George in "Here to see Philip?"
Philip panicked. Why was George here? Had something happened? Did he not want to date anymore? Were they even dating?

There was a short silence. Philip assumed George had nodded.

"I'll go get him, feel free to hang up your coat." John said, climbing the stairs.

"Who's the present for?" Philip could hear Alex ask downstairs.

"George is here for you!" John said, wiggling his eyebrows at Philip as he entered his son's room.

"Stooooop! We're just friends." Philip said.

Were they just friends?

"Oh you're so sweet, bringing me a present to ask if you can date my son! Such a gentleman!" Philip could hear Alex said as he and his Dad went down the stairs.

"Hey George!" Philip said, reaching the bottom of the stairs "Here for a reason or can you not resist spending time with me?"

"I had a late Christmas present for you, but your dad just stole it." George said.

John sighed. "I'll go get it." He said, going into the kitchen after Alex.

Philip could hear John ask for the present, and Alex hiss at him in response.

"I got a present for you too!" Philip said, walking over to the coatstand and producing a thin box from one of the coats. He offered it to George.

George carefully unwrapped it and opened the box. He look up at Philip, raising an eyebrow.

"Do you like it?" Philip asked nervously, rocking on his heels.

George pulled a long gay flag out of the box. "I love it, but I'm confused why you got me it."

"Because you're gay, but you don't have any gay merch, so I got you some because everyone who's gay should have gay stuff." Philip said, a little embarrassed.

George smiled and hugged Philip. "You're ridiculous." He said into Philip's hair. Philip giggled.

"I got the present back!" John said, entering the room after the hug ended "Nice gay flag, by the way."

John handed Philip the box, and then went back through the kitchen to the master bedroom, saying something about Alex being easily offendable.

Philip haisily tore into the wrapping paper, and opened the box.

Philip's eyes lit up.

Inside was a navy hoodie with white bold lettering that said 'I AM A POET' on the front.

Philip squealed and hugged George.

George hugged him back.

(You better remember that gay flag because it's going to be in the story later on)
