Christmas Eve

Disclaimer: No own. DUH!!!!!!!

Notes: Back to the Christmas goodies. As I sit here and eat my own homemade goodies, I decided to put out another slashy goodie for ya'll. As always, vote for the pairings you want me to write my forum or on my profile if you haven't already. The current leaders are Hunter/Shawn and Shawn/Jeff tying at 11 votes each. Shawn/Taker is in second place with 8. Keep the votes coming.

"I love Christmas Eve. Its always so beautiful." Shawn whispered from his place, curled up against Hunter's side. "The tree, the fire, the lights on the houses, the snow. There's never a more beautiful time than Christmas Eve."

Hunter smiled at his smaller lover and wrapped an arm around his shoulder and pulled him close.

"Any time I spend with you is beautiful." he whispered back. Shawn beamed up at him and rested his head on Hunter's shoulder.

"That was really romantic Hunt, you old softie." he chuckled.

"Who you callin' old?" Hunter teased, tickling Shawn and relishing in the joyous sound of Shawn's beautiful laughter. Music to Hunter's ears.

"You're...haha.. old" Shawn said between laughs.

"You're older than me!" Hunter protested, not letting up.

"But I'm still...hehehe...sexy...haha...as hell." Shawn tried to state cockily, the effect ruined by his giggling. Hunter stopped tickling him, lifted Shawn onto his lap, and kissed his forehead.

"Yes you are." he muttered into Shawn's ear. Shawn smiled as he managed to catch his breath and reached up to kiss Hunter passionately on the lips. Hunter kissed him back, cupping the back of his head to deepen the kiss. They broke apart and Shawn happily snuggled against Hunter.

"Love you." he muttered.

"I love you too Angel." Hunter said back, placing kisses all over Shawn's face.Shawn giggled and pushed him away.

"Hunter stop, not now." he told him gently. Hunter nodded and wrapped Shawn in his warm embrace.

"Hey Hunter?"

"Yeah Babe?"

"Can you tell me a Christmas story?" Shawn asked. Hunter laughed at his childishness.

"Sure Love, Twas the night before Christmas..."

"No, not that one. Something different." Hunter thought for a moment and nodded.

"Ok, here's one my Grandmomma use to tell me. Its the story of Santa's sister, Auntie Clause." Hunter told him. Shawn grinned and settled down to listen.

------------------------

After Hunter had finished the story, the too men drank hot cocoa, cleaned up, turned off the Christmas tree, and snuggled up together in bed.

"Hunter?" Shawn whispered.

"Yes Angel?"

"I'm glad I'm not alone on Christmas Eve." Shawn muttered before falling asleep.

"Me too Angel, me too." Hunter told him, holding Shawn tightly to him and following him into dreamland, visions of Shawn dancing in his head.

The End
