Crismes One Shots - Cristiano Ronaldo/James Rodriguez

Better Late Than Never.

James sighed heavily as he walked into his and Cristiano's shared home. His feet were heavy and he just really wanted to lie down and sleep for days. The training bag on his shoulder slipped off and he dropped all of his belongings at the foot of the door. He knew he'd probably get scolded by his husband about that later but he didn't care at that moment. He kicked his shoes off and heard the familiar giggling from all the kids in the house and smiled wide. 

"I'm home mis amores!" He sing songed and heard the kids steps stop and junior's and Salome's heads peak around the corner. Salome was the first that ran towards him, Junior hot on her tail.

"Papa!" She screamed happily and jumped up into his arms, Junior hugging his side.

"How have you all been?" He asked and listened intently on both of them telling him about their days. Cris telling him how hard he's been training and he wants to play with James later, James agreeing. Salome begging his papa to go see her drawing's of their happy little family. He also agrees to that and soon he's wisped away by both of the children.

Cristiano on the other hand had heard the kids run towards their other papa and he smiled warmly. He was currently taking care of the twins and had just gotten done face timing Georgina and Alana. His whole world was perfect and he couldn't find himself wishing for anything to be different.

"Cris?" James eventually peaked his head into the room, Salome and junior no where in sight. The twins were fast asleep tucked into Cris' side.

"Hey," he whispered back and smiled as he slid himself away from the babies. He stood from the bed carefully and walked towards James. The kissed softly and pushed door all the way open. They could see clear into the room when they sat at the dining table together. 

"How was your Christmas and New Years, carino?" James nuzzled his face into Cristiano's neck. He hummed and shrugged, wrapping his arms around the smaller man.

"It was good, would have been better if you were here though." The younger could practically see his pouting face in his head. He smiled sadly and nodded.

"I'm sorry, I was trying to get here as fast I could."

"I know," he replied and pulled himself away. James frowned already missing the warmth of his arms. "But hey, better late than never right?"

"Right," James smiled a little and kissed his cheek. "I got presents for you all." He grinned already skipping away and towards the entryway.

"Really?" Cristiano followed him closely, eager to see what presents there were.

"You didn't think I'd come with no presents, did you?" James mocked offense and laughed when Cristiano began to stutter out an explanation. "Here they are!"

He bent down and turned around with a few boxes and a small bag.

"Aww, are these for Cris and Sal-"

"I already gave them theirs baby," he grinned pleased with himself. "That's what they're playing with now. This bag and these two are for the twins. There's some baby stuff that we all know you need and in the bag it's two bracelets. Their matching too." James explained and looked up to see Cristiano with tears in his eyes.

"What did I ever do to deserve you?" He asked himself quietly and lunged forward wrapping James in a tight hug. He pressed kisses all over his neck and face. 

James giggled happily, the gifts still tucked in between them. Cristiano was smiling so wide his cheeks hurt, and he grabbed the babies gifts from him, setting them to the side. There were 2 smaller boxes in James hands left.

"Are these for me?" He bit his lip excited and James nodded.

"Go ahead and open them." The younger encouraged.

Cristiano hesitantly took one of the boxes. It was a decent size, not too big or small. The gift wasn't wrapped like the rest, it was quite messy and little santa's decorated the surface. The bow was a bright red and James was chewing on his lip clearly nervous. Cris smiled a little and unwrapped the bow and opened the box. Before the box could fully open, James stopped him with his hand.

"I want you to know that you don't have to like this okay? If you don't it's okay, I won't be mad or sad."

"I'm sure I'll like it-"

"But if you don't... Don't pretend to okay? Just tell me." He whined and Cristiano nodded now a little worried.

"Oh... Okay," He gulped and watched as James hand retreated and now he opened it. His breath hitched when he seen it, it was James Bayern jersey. He didn't understand really, of course he was happy but he didn't know why James would give this to him?

"I know this is weird but, I just... I thought you'd like it because it's my um, it's my first jersey that I was ever given at Bayern," Cristiano's eyes shot up to meet his. "I kept it all this time debating on keeping it or not, then Christmas came around and I-I couldn't just keep it to myself. I figured since you gave me your jersey that you wore when Portugal won the euros, I'd give you something special too. This was the first thing that came to mind and I'm sorry if it-it doesn't compare to your gift to me-"

Cristiano tossed the unopened present and the jersey to the side and pulled the love of his life into his arms. James' mini rant got cut off as their lips met. It was a kind of kiss that shut them both up, their minds no longer racing, only their hearts. Cristiano could physically feel himself melting into James, his body becoming lax and wrapping itself around the smaller man. He picked up the man and James giggled pulling away.

"Aren't you going to open up your other present?" He laughed as Cristiano began to walk them towards their bedroom upstairs. "Hey, the babies are downstairs, Cris! Are you even listening? Oh my god!" His protests turned into airy fits of laughter as his sides got tickled.

"You thought I babysat ALL our children by myself?" Cristiano laughed as he sat the smaller man on the bed. "Our nannies are downstairs, I'll just text them to go to the babies."

"You're so extra," James sighed happily as Cristiano gently laid him on the bed, still pressing kisses all over him. "I love you though."

"I love you too," Cris whispered and sat back up, sending the text and once he got a reply he tossed his phone to the side. "The kids will be alright, they said they'll take care of them." He smiled warmly and laid down next to his husband.

"Cuddle or fun?"

"Mmm, how long will you be here?"

"You have me for 2 weeks." James grinned and moved closer to Cristiano.

"2 whole weeks?" Cristiano rubbed his nose against the others, their faces so close.

"Yes sir, you're stuck with me."

"Sounds great baby," they both giggled softly. "Let's just cuddle for now, we have plenty of time to have fun later."

"I agree," James maneuvered his way under the bed sheets and held his arms out for Cristiano, who gladly joined him under the warm blankets.
