"happy christmas eve," derek breathes against his skin as everett dresses in his usual black shirt and jeans before his shift.

he turns and gives him a kiss, slow and long. "you too, baby. i'll be back before seven to make dinner."

"ah, yes. your infamous chicken nuggets and mac and cheese never cease to amazing me," derek chuckles.

"gordon ramsey would be proud," he replies with a grin. "bye."

"i love you!" his boyfriend calls out as everett walks towards the door.

"i love you, too."

he does. oh, god, he does.
