Jerome's POV
I wrap my arms around Mitch's waist and help him to his crutches. "Here ya go biggums" he smiles "thanks Jerome". We walk downstairs, (well I practically carry him downstairs), and my parents smile "hello Jerome! ...Mitchell". My parents have never been the biggest fan of Mitch, and my father... He can be quite a homophobe at points. "Merry Christmas" Mitch mutters and I help him sit down "Merry Christmas." My family takes hands to say grace, and Mitch sits there and watches. He's an atheist... So he doesn't do that type of stuff, but that's okay with me! We eat dinner in almost silence.

Mitch's POV
I pick at my dinner, not very hungry.
"You okay Mitch?" Jerome asks
"Yeah. Yeah I'm good. Just tired and a bit nauseous from the medicine. May I be excused?"
"Of course. I'll join you" he gets up and scoops me up, bridal style, and grab our plates. "Merry Christmas mom and dad" He waves to them then carries me upstairs.
