I Love You Keith

Christmas

James POV

I groaned as I sat up. Keith was still asleep, and had my waist in a bear hug. I had to tear his arms away from me in order to get up, which woke him up. He looked up at me and smiled groggily. "Hey Griff. Merry Christmas." Fuck, I had forgotten that it was Christmas. I smiled "Merry Christmas Kitten." And gave him a kiss on the forehead. I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, he was stretching. He had on some tight shorts, and they REALLY clung to his figure. he saw me staring, and his face went bright pink. "Griff, stop." "Why? I'm admiring your beauty." I said, going over to him. His face went even pinker "Stop. You know I don't like that." "Why not? I'm telling the truth. You're beautiful." I said, tipping his face towards my own. I had a few inches on him, much to his dismay. "James!" He whined "I hate you." "No you don't, you love me." "You're lucky that's true." I smiled "Yeah, I am." We were about to kiss when we heard an "Ahem." from the door. Shiro was standing their with an unamused look on his face, and a cup of coffee. "If you guys are done, we're gonna do food now. Cookies for breakfast." He left, and I felt Keith's head fall onto my chest. "They have the worst timing." I chuckled "Yeah. But cookies for breakfast!" He looked up at me "True. Let's go, otherwise we'll be eating crumbs." I nodded "Yeah, but first.." And gave him a kiss. He smiled into it, and we pulled back. "Come on, lets eat."

In the kitchen, Adam and Shiro had a little chicken out, along with a bunch of spices and seasonings. "Shiro, I think that's too much." "Nah, you can never have too much pepper." "Yes you can. Then the food will be burnt and over seasoned." "Normally I'd trust your judgement, but christmas dinner is my thing. Even if we don't end up eating it, I can say I did it." Adam rolled his eyes "Fine!" Then he saw us. "Hey boys! So, Chinese or pizza this year?" I shrugged "Either." "Chinese. We did pizza last year." Keith said, and Adam nodded "Right. And merry Christmas! how'd you guys sleep?" "Like a rock." I answered, and Keith nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and when I went by they were about to start sucking each other's faces." Shrio said. "Shiro! Stop! It's not like you and Adam were any better!" Keith whined. "I don't recall making out at someone else's house." "Well, we always came here. You've only been to my house once, every other time you met my parents we were at the Garrison." Adam said. Shiro rolled his eyes "Potato potato. Same difference." "No, you were older than us." "Yeah, by a year. Not a big difference." I sighed and sat in the living room. Adam came over with a plate of cookies "I know how you feel." I took a cookies "Does it ever stop?" He shook his head with a smile "No. But it's there way of showing they care. It's a sibling thing. We wouldn't get it." I bit into my cookie. It had barely any frosting, it must've been post-frosting war. "You're an only child?" "Yeah. But I have a lot of cousins." I nodded, mouth full. "Anyway, what do you want from the Chinese food place?" I shrugged "Whatever." Adam sighed "That's what Keith and Shiro said. Well, what about pizza? What kind would you want?" "Meat lovers." He nodded "Then we'll probably get pizza again. Everyone has an immediate answer for that, but not for Chinese." "Hey, if you don't mind me asking, why does Shiro always cook for Christmas? Keith said that you were the better cook." Adam slimed soft;y "That's a good question. And I don't mind you asking. Well, as you know, him and Keith are orphans. Keith doesn't remember either of their parents much, just bits and pieces about their dad. Shiro remembers him clearly, but not their mom. They don't know much about her. Anyway, he remembers cooking with his dad. It makes him feel closer to him, you know? Honor his memory and stuff." I nodded. Wow. I never knew any of that. Well, Keith may have mentioned it, but it sounded so different coming from Adam. "Shocking right? I get it. But it's how they do things. When you don't remember much about someone, you hold on to what you do remember." I nodded "Yeah. Wow. I had no idea. That's rough." Adam smiled "Yeah. But enough of that, it's Christmas. I'm willing to bet that they're done already." 

In the kitchen, Keith was laughing at Shiro, who had his hand in the sink, running water over it. "What happened?" "He-he burned himself putting it in, then he almost dropped it. And when he caught it, he burned himself again." "Hey!" Shiro whined. "At least I did something. All you've done is eat cookies." Adam sighed"Let me see." Shiro held out his hand, and he sighed again. "It barely touched you. You'll be fine in a few hours." I rolled my eyes and sat next to Keith. "But it hurts!" Shiro whined. Adam kissed it "There? That better?" Shiro smiled "Actually, my lip hurts to." Adam rolled his eyes and gave him a quick peck on the lips "There. Now try not to burn this one too badly." "Yeah, last time the garbage man thought it was a rock." Keith said with a smile, and Shiro glared at him. "Shut up. Why don't you take James out on the bike while it cooks? Dinner won't be ready for a while." Keith smiled brightly "Yeah! Come on!" He jumped up and grabbed my hand, dragging me outside and around the house. "Wait. What bike?" He smiled and pressed a button on the side of the house "This one."
