Merry Christmas, Rick~! (AF)

The Elf had been saving up for this for months.

Every time Rick wanted to get him to go out in the day and buy something, he had stashed a little of the change so he could buy Rick a present without the Vampire knowing.

It had been difficult and it had taken months of saving but he had finally gotten enough money to buy Rick what he wanted.

And now the day was here. Christmas. He couldn't wait.

As soon as the Elf had woken up - just a little before sunset - he had leapt out of bed and pounced on his sleeping partner. "Rick, it's Christmas. It's Christmas, Rick. Wake up!"

Aurick grunted loudly as he was pounced on, the sound followed by a long groan as he took in what Fabian was saying, Christmas, joy oh joy.

Of course he knew what day it was, the Elf had been going on about it for weeks, it was same every year, he had made a grave mistake when he had first introduced Fabian to the holiday season, he hadn't known what it was when living in the woods.

"I'm up, I'm up."

He grumbled, there was no point trying to avoid Fabian on Christmas day, he had been through enough of them to realize that is was impossible.

"Present time, present time!"

He was so excited for giving Aurick his present - the first present that he would have ever given him - that he didn't care if Rick had bought him anything.

As long as Rick opened his present and liked it, he would be happy.

"Come on, come on, come on. You're being so slow."

He tugged on Rick's arm, trying to drag him out of his bed and towards the Elf's. "Riiiiiiiiiick," he whined loudly.

"Bloody hell, calm down."

Though Aurick wasn't a fan of Christmas he had always brought Fabian something, as soon as the Elf had began to learn about the world he had started doing it.

Their first Christmas together he didn't and the Elfling had gotten quite upset, he had learned from that mistake.

He crawled onto the Elf's bed grudgingly, sprawling out onto it once again.

"Nope."

He leant over to poke Rick's side over and over again, trying to be as annoying as possible so he could wake Aurick up.

"Come on, come on."

He was excited to give Aucik his present.

He wasn't about to let Rick ruin his excitement by sleeping through it. "RIIIIIIIIIIICK," he sang as badly as he could possibly manage, right in the vampire's ear.

Aurick cringed and sat up, glaring at the Elf as he rubbed his eyes, trying to keep himself awake.

"It is barely even sun down."

He grumbled as he pushed his hair from his face, Fabian normally had the decency to at least let him sleep until the sun went down.

"Okay, I'm awake."

He muttered with a soft yawn, his mismatched eyes baring into the man.

Fabian grinned widely.

"Great. Present time," he cheered.

The Elf turned around and bent over his bed, hair hair dropping to pool against the hardwood floor.

The pyjama bottoms he wore slid down over his hips slightly as he bent over the bed to reach for the neatly wrapped present.

With his ass in the air, he rummaged around under his bed for a moment before his fingers brushed over the wrapping paper. "Aha!"

He sat up and turned around, trying to hide the present behind his back so Rick couldn't see it.

The shadow of a smirk spread across the Vampire's lips as he watched Fabian bend over the edge of the bed.

He couldn't resist smacking him on the backside as he rose to his feet and walked over to his chest of draws, opening his sock draw and pulling out a pair of bundled socks, unrolling them and taking out a small box.

He always hid things well, Fabian had a habit of searching for his presents if he knew he was getting one.

Aurick dropped back down on the bed, clutching the small box in his hand so Fabian couldn't steal it.

The Elf yelped loudly when his Vampire's hand came down on his backside.

"RICK!" he yelled out, pouting, one hand moving to rub his backside gently. He began muttering soft insults under his breath as the Vampire stood and strolled across the room.

His insults stopped short when the Vampire returned and he began bouncing up and down on his knees.

"Open mine first!"

He pulled the present behind his back and held it out to the Vampire. It sat in his hands, neatly wrapped in a metallic blue wrapping paper, a metallic green tag taped perfectly centre with the Vampire's name written in neat penmanship inside the tag.

Aurick snickered softly as Fabian yelped, served him right for wagging his backside around like that, hows a man to resist.

The Vampire eyed the present for a moment, he hadn't been expecting a gift.

Carefully he unwrapped the paper and took the fabric from inside, unfolding it and holding it in the air to see what it was.

A small smile graced his lips as he looked over the jumper, it looked soft and warm.

He pulled it over his head, the fabric fitting his body perfectly.

"Thank you Fabian, I really like them."

He muttered softly as he looked over the jeans, tugging off his pants and slipping into them as well, he knew Fabian would want to see the clothing on him.

"Here."

He handed the Elf the little black box, held shut by a white ribbon.

Aurick hadn't know what to get him, back he had an idea and ran with it, unknowing if the Elf would like it.

Fabian owned a lot of silver chains but not many of them held pendants, as such the Vampire and got a little silver Ermine made for him to put on his necklaces.

Fabian smiled brightly.

Rick liked them. Months of saving up for them hadn't gone to waste. It had been so tempting to spend the money that he saved. It was a fair amount of money, too. Those clothes weren't cheap. He had refused to buy cheap clothing.

The Elf sighed and tutted, slipping off the bed and padding around to stand in front of Rick.

"Honestly, you'd think you couldn't dress yourself," he muttered to himself as his fingers slid under the hem of the Vampire's jeans to shift them slightly.

His lips curled upwards as he straightened out the jumper gently, leaning up to press a gentle kiss to the Vampire's lips.

When he was happy with the Vampire's clothing, his fingers combed through his hair to try and tame the dark mess. After a few moments he gave up, shaking his head softly.

The Elf sat back down again and reached for the box, tugging gently at the ribbon, pulling his hair over a shoulder to tie it off with the ribbon.

He pried open the box gently then smiled softly, his fingers tracing over the beautifully crafted charm. "It's absolutely beautiful."

He rolled his eyes slightly as Fabian fixed his clothing, honestly they were on his body didn't that classify as being dressed?
Apparently not.

He gave a soft chuckle as the Elf tried to fix his hair, a near impossible task.

"Perhaps it is time for a haircut, wearing nice clothes is kind of pointless if I look like a mop."

It was a rare event that Aurick let anyone cut his hair, normally he would just chop it off himself when it got too long, much to Fabians disgust.

"I'm glad you like it."

He replied, moving behind the Elf to remove one of his chains, one of the more delicate ones.

Reaching down he took the charm and placed it on the chain before clasping it around his neck.

The Vampire leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his neck.

"Merry Christmas Fabian."

"How couldn't I like it?"

He watched as Rick slid the charm onto the chain and how the dim light of the room reflected off the precious metal.

It was just so beautiful.

Fabian's eyes slid shut and he gave a low purr when the Vampire's lips pressed against his neck in a soft kiss.

"You're fussier than any person I have ever met, there is no telling whether you will like something or not."

He teased softly as he planted another kiss on the man's neck, nipping him gently before moving away.

If he kept that up he had no doubt in his mind that he would end up biting the Elf, it was moments like this that he cursed Fabian for being an Elf, his blood was irresistible.

He moved as sat down in front of him again, laying back casually against the headboard.

Fabian gave a little smirk.

He knew he was a fussy little shit. It made buying presents for him difficult. People really had to think if they wanted to get him a good present. He loved that. And Rick had definitely outdone himself on the good present front.

The charm was absolutely beautiful.

"Merry Christmas, Rick."

He smiled up at the Vampire as he lounged back against his headboard, his green eyes sparkling.

"Come on, get dressed, it is Christmas after all, I doubt you want to spend it cooped up in this room."

He muttered, a small smile curling at his lips, Aurick was in one of his rarely seen good moods.

For this night of the year he didn't mind putting forth a little effort in order to make the Elf happy.

"We're going out?"

He hadn't expected that.

Fabian had expected Rick to crawl off back to bed in a bad mood like he did every other time Bian had woken him up far too early.

His green eyes lit up. "Where're we going?"

If they were going out, he wanted to know where they were going so he could decide what sort of outfit to wear.

"We are, once the sun has fully set."

He replied, nodding softly as he got to his feet and moved to the bathroom and shave and brush his hair.

"Out for dinner, then after that it is ladies choice."

He added with a smirk as he gestured towards Fabian, for once he was going to let the Elf decide where they were going and he would do so without complaint.

Dinner...

Best to go with semi-casual, then. Something simple but nice that could be acceptable in most places.

He hummed softly as he moved to his wardrobe, looking at each piece of clothing silently, occasionally shaking his head or tossing a piece on the bed.

It then took easily another half hour to decided on a simple pair of dark jeans and a black shirt with leopard print detailing. He looked at himself in the mirror critically, fiddling with the top few buttons of the shirt for a few moments until the shirt was open enough to show off his new charm but not enough for people to yell out manwhore.

"Do you think I should get a fringe cut in?" the Elf called to the Vampire occupying the bathroom, fingering his long blond hair gently. He'd had a fringe cut in before but he had always just let it grow out again.

"Ladies first, eh? So, what do you have planned for after?"

His lips quirked upwards as he combed his hair gently, braiding it into a waterfall braid with a soft hum. He'd have to explain away his ears as surgically corrected if anyone asked. Let them think he was a crazy obsessed freak.

The Elf stroked his cheek gently with pursed lips. Light make-up today. Just a little foundation and eyeliner. He could give everything else a miss for just one night.
