Fairy (manxman)

12: Ryan

After taking another sip of coffee I looked outside at the heavy snow falling while contently sighing. The soft glow of the Christmas tree lights were the only lights on at the moment, but it gave the room a cozy feel. The entire family had watched a bunch of Christmas movies last night, making me really feel a part of this family. This was the first Christmas I wasn't going to be spending with my parents. Even though it usually only involved drinking and feeling like shit, it was still odd. But it was nice to be around people who actually enjoyed my company.

My eyes instantly wandered down to Willow, who was sleeping on my side. My right arm was firmly around him, his hair tickling my skin. We had fallen asleep on the couch last night and I was enjoying this view too much to move him upstairs.

The past couple of months had been actually really nice. Willow's back was healing nicely and he was actually going to the rink every now and then. He was focusing on getting better but I knew he was still upset about not going to the Olympics. Since they were coming up I going to make sure to keep his mind off of it. But for now, I was going to enjoy him and enjoy the lights. I was also enjoying the peacefulness and stillness of the house before everyone woke up. Luckily I had made coffee before Willow fell asleep, but I might be needing a new cup soon. But I'd drink a thousand cups of cold coffee if it meant I could stay in this moment for a little longer.

After gently kissing Willow's hair I turned while hearing footsteps in the kitchen. Looking over my shoulder I saw his father making some new coffee before catching my eye. He smiled before shuffling over in his fluffy robe.

"Merry Christmas Ryan."

"Thank you Mr. Ray, you too."

He sat down onto the other couch before softly saying, "Ryan, you're a part of this family. You don't need to keep calling me Mr. Ray, you can call me Dan."

My heart sped up when he smiled at me, once again making me feel so welcomed. "Thank you Dan."

He nodded before looking towards the tree before glancing at Willow. "He seems to be pretty tuckered out."

"Oh yes," I whispered before laughing softly. "We were watching basically every Christmas movie known to man. This view was too good to leave though; I really haven't felt this kind of peace before."

"That makes me extremely happy to hear. I know it's been a long year and at times a challenging year. But you make my son the happiest I've ever seen him and you got him to skate again. You brought joy back into his life, which is something I'll never be able to properly say thank you for. You're the perfect addition to this family; I really hope you know that."

My eyes were starting to sting while I said, "Thank you. I really appreciate that, more than you know. Thank you for welcoming me into your family; I don't know what I'd do without everyone. Especially Willow."

Dan cleared his throat, his eyes looking misty as well. "Well, I'm going to enjoy the quietness before the kids wake up. Would you like me to get you another cup of coffee?"

"I would love that."

With that he brought me a fresh cup before heading back upstairs, my head resting onto Willow's hair. My eyes then wandered back over to the tree and to the presents beneath it. When his sisters were telling me they get everyone a serious and a joke present, it was honestly hard to believe. My parents hadn't gotten me a Christmas present in a very long time. None of my friends had ever gotten me anything either so it was odd to be around a family so open and loving. These past few months living on the farm have honestly been the best months of my life.

Willow was then softly moaning in his sleep before moving closer into my side. When his soft fingers were resting onto my lower stomach, butterflies swarmed in my stomach. I've never had a high sex drive before; usually it was difficult to become hard. But everything Willow does seems to turn me on. He could be laughing or walking around shirtless and I'd already have a problem below the belt. I guess it really was crazy how your body changes when you're around the right people. I just had to take multiple deep breaths to try and control my body.
