Day Three - Christmas Tree Farm

 "Why do we even need a Christmas tree?" Dean asked as he sat in the passenger's seat of the car, Seth in the driver's seat beside him.

"Because, Dean, it's Christmas time and normal people get Christmas trees during Christmas time," Seth argued.

"It's not like we're even home enough to be considered normal people, Seth," Dean fought back.

"True, but we're home for a bit which means we're getting a tree. We finally have off for Christmas and I'll be dammed if we don't take full advantage of the gift we're being given," Seth said. He placed his free hand on Dean's leg, "Just go with me, here, okay?"

Dean grumbled out, "Fine," and huffed. He didn't really do the holidays, they were always just one disappointment after another. Somewhere in middle school, he just kinda gave up getting excited for holidays, but being with Seth changed that drastically. Seth had had a good upbringing, he was the exact opposite of Dean. His parents were together, they had money and Seth lived a very comfortable life, very much unlike Dean. The first Christmas together, Seth had to remind Dean of the holiday season because Dean didn't really pay it any mind anymore.

Seth finally parked the car and shut it off, the Christmas music that had been playing shutting off as well, and Seth got out and walked around to join Dean. Dean's rather agitated scowl lifted when he saw the excitement etched across Seth's face. Dean smiled and leaned in to plant a kiss on Seth's lips, "What was that for?" Seth asked.

"You make the holidays so much better, babe," Dean told him. Seth smiled wider and reached down to take Dean's hand in his and then they started their trek towards the farm. As they got closer, the smell of pine trees and hot chocolate hit their noses and they both took a deep breath.

"Hi there!" a girl greeted the two, "You guys looking to cut down a tree?"

"We sure are," Seth said happily.

"Great, well the wagons are over there. We have the option of hand saws which you guys can use to cut your own tree or when you find the one for you, you can come back down and one of our people will go with you with the chainsaw," the girl told them.

Seth looked at Dean in thought, "I think we can handle it, we'll take the handsaw," he said.

The girl nodded and returned quickly with the object, "Once you're done and bring it back down we'll shake it and wrap it up for you. Also, keep in mind that we have some bakery items and hot cocoa."

"Thanks," Dean said with a warm smile and he and Seth took off on their hunt for the perfect tree. As they walked along the path, they came across a makeshift little playground and what looked like a rope zip line, "Now, this is what I'm talking about," he said and jogged off to grab up the thick rope. He ran with it up the little hill nearby and jumped on, but not before Seth could fish out his phone and open up Snapchat. Seth laughed as Dean ziplined towards him, an excited "wooo!" leaving his mouth as he flew through the air. Seth finished the recording, saved it, then posted it on his story. As Dean slowed down, Seth put out his arms to catch his goofy boyfriend and pulled him in for a soft kiss.

"Glad you're enjoying yourself," Seth said. Dean smiled and let go of the rope after he got off and the two continued their search. "These look nice," Seth said and turned to walk down a row of trees. As they looked, Seth heard his phone go off and he pulled it out of his jacket pocket. It was a snap from Roman, "Roman says you made him laugh, and that he's glad we're having a fun time," Seth told Dean as he read the snap from their friend. He had seen the video that Seth had posted on his story.

"Lemme see the phone," Dean said. Seth handed it over and watched as Dean went to reply. He pressed the camera button and held it, "Hey, big dog! You should come with us next time!" Dean said to the phone as he recorded himself and Dean. He sent it and they continued their trek.
