♪

“I’m back!”

Richard grins widely when he opens the door to the little studio they had rented. He stops at the top of the stairs and holds up two bottles. Christoph and Till are both sitting on the couch in their living room. When they hear Richard they look up to him. Christoph squints at the bottles.

“You were gone a long time,” Till says and he gets up. Richard presses one of the bottles into Till’s hand, who whistles.

“Eggnog huh? Finally in some kind of Christmas mood?” Till wants to know and Richard rolls his eyes. Christoph just watches them for now, he doesn’t really like Richard drinking so much, but today they had a rather angry discussion within the band but managed to finish a song and Richard had been so happy earlier.

“Not really, but they were on sale and it’s the good stuff,” Richard replies grinning. Till shakes his head and then walks off to his own room. He’s probably still pissed about having to change all the lyrics again.

Richard chuckles and then nods towards the hallway, Christoph gets up and follows him. They stop at the kitchen first, where Richard heats up the eggnog, pulling out some adorable mugs. Christoph smiles at that sight, because he hadn’t realized they had such cute mugs in this studio.

“Wanted to give the mug to you for Christmas actually but we should use it now. I’ll get you something better for Christmas, promise,” Richard says, as if he can read his thoughts and Christoph’s heart flutters when he thinks about Richard getting him a present.

“We will take the rest with us as well,” Richard says and points at the pot. Christoph looks at his mug, that looks like a cat. He loves it. It’s a black cat and for some reason it reminds him of Richard.

“Never had that brand, I hope it’s good,” Christoph says, when Richard fills up the two mugs and pushes one over once they are filled. Christoph doesn’t wait for an answer, instead he sniffs at the liquid.

“It’s eggnog, it’s always good,.” Richard says and Christoph takes his mug, before he follows Richard. For a tiny second Christoph thinks that they will go to Richard’s room, but instead Richard walks back to the living room. Christoph really hopes that nobody will disturb them.

“It’s fucking cold in here,” Richard says and he holds his mug in both hands now. Christoph chuckles, Richard is just always so adorable.

“Well you could sit down in front of the fire,” Christoph says and he nods towards the chimney at the end of the room. Richard actually nods and then sits down in front of the fire, on the white plush carpet.

Christoph could drool from that view alone.

He had always known that he liked Richard a bit more, but lately it had gotten really ridiculous. His pinning had gotten so bad and with each day his desire to just kiss Richard gets worse.

Richard pats on the carpet next to him and Christoph is a bit surprised. While he always searches for Richard’s closeness, Richard never returns the gesture. Right now, he looks happy though and Christoph sits down, right next to him, their elbows brushing.

Richard takes a sip of the eggnog. Actually he just drowns it in one go, sighing happily, before he pours himself more eggnog into his mug. Christoph looks at his own mug and tries it as well.

“And?”

Christoph smiles a bit. He doesn’t really like eggnog, but it’s okay.

“It’s good, thank you Richard,” Christoph says and he smiles at him. Richard’s cheeks are already a faint red, his gray eyes vibrating in the dark light of the room. Sometimes Christoph feels himself daydreaming about this.

The fire reflects in his eyes and Christoph thinks he has never seen someone this beautiful.

“That’s what I like about Christmas,” Richard mutters after a while, the bottle already half empty and Christoph jerks out of his thoughts.

“The eggnog?” Christoph wants to know and Richard shakes his head. He is at his fifth mug already and now he leans almost heavily against Christoph, who realizes that only now. Richard’s thigh pressed tight against his own.

“No. Well, yes, I also like eggnog, but Christmas is… it’s some quiet time. Family time. You, uh, spend it with your loved ones,” Richard explains and he sounds embarrassed, but also a bit sluggish. Maybe Christoph should hide the rest of the eggnog.

“Oh,” Christoph answers, because he doesn’t know what to answer.

He had never been a fan of Christmas either. But he likes spending time with the band no matter what time of the year and somehow they had infected him with their good mood for Christmas.

Right now he even wears Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer socks. And it’s not even Christmas yet! They’d all drive home for that. Christoph wonders now, if Richard would be all alone.

“Yeah, I really like snow, too, but we don’t have that every Christmas,” Richard continues, he is smiling happily and Christoph knows he is lost in some memories now. Just as Christoph wants to answer, Richard cuddles against him.

Christoph feels like he can’t breathe.

“What else do you love about Christmas?” Christoph whispers, before he puts his mug on the ground next to him. Richard’s head is now on his shoulder and Christoph can actually feel him and that is the best feeling he ever experienced.

“Everyone is happy. People get gifts and cook nice food and… and they cuddle and kiss under the mistletoe…,” Richard whispers, before he takes his new filled mug again and swallows the rest of the eggnog.

Christoph sighs. Richard is just drunk.

“We could cook something nice before we leave tomorrow,” Christoph answers and he can feel Richard nodding. It’s quiet again and Christoph tries to focus back on the show, trying to ignore that his heart beats way too fast.

It seems like Richard is really sad now. Maybe Christoph should ask him if they wanted to celebrate it together?

“Do you know what I love about you?” Richard changes the topic and Christoph freezes. He curses inwardly, because his reaction actually made Richard sit up again. Christoph can’t look away, he always gets lost in those beautiful eyes.

As gray and bright as a cold winter’s night. But just so stunning.

“I don’t know,” Christoph whispers back, for the first time not only shy but also scared about Richard’s answer. It feels as if his heart wants to jump out of his chest.

“Everything,” Richard says, smiling so sweetly, that Christoph almost can’t help himself. He wants to kiss Richard so badly, but Richard probably just had too much eggnog. Christoph wished he would’ve gotten drunk as well.

He regrets that now. Because Richard’s words hurt. He’s saying it because he’s drunk not because he means it.

“Richard,” Christoph whispers and somehow it sounds like a promise. Richard’s eyes flutter close for a second, before he looks up at Christoph again.

“I… I bet I’d love your kisses, too,” Richard whispers, shyly and Christoph is sure the blush on his cheeks is not only from the eggnog. He doesn’t think about it and this time leans closer to kiss Richard.

The kiss stays light and Christoph gets lost for a moment.

“I was right,” Richard chuckles, his eyes still closed, while he licks hip lips. Christoph can’t look away. He can’t even speak. Richard doesn’t seem to realize that, he just cuddles against Christoph again.

The fire is still keeping them warm and Christoph strokes over Richard’s side before he presses another kiss against his temple. Richard chuckles so cutely.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing,” Christoph says and he presses the next kiss against Richard’s neck, who shudders so prettily at that.

“Do you.. uhm want me?” Richard asks so cutely and Christoph loves how adorable he is. He’d never thought Richard would be this shy and awkward.

And it’s kinda romantic in front of the chimney fire. Christoph can’t help but smirk.

“Yeah…”

It doesn’t take long after that for them to get out of their clothes. Richard is now almost laying naked in front of him on the carpet. He’s trembling, even though the fire should keep him warm. So maybe he’s just that excited. Christoph has lost his shirt and sweater already, but he is still wearing his jeans.

“That’s good my sweet boy,” Christoph says quietly and just watches Richard for a moment. How he’s touching himself so featherlight, Richard makes such a sweet sound.

There is quiet music playing in the living room room, but all he can hear is his own heartbeat in his ears. Christoph knows that he looks like he wants to eat Richard alive and Richard can’t help the moan that escapes his lips.

“So fucking hot,” Christoph says and Richard arches his back a bit more, while Christoph leans closer. He presses another kiss to Richard’s shoulder and then his chest.

Shortly after they both seem to relax and forget all the shame and discomfort. Richard seems to enjoy this a lot more than he should and he sucks lazily on his fingers, while Christoph groans. He looks so good.

Christoph grins. Yeah he could get used to this.

“Spread your legs a bit more,” Christoph whispers and Richard obeys happily. He’s fully hard by now and it just looks so beautiful. Richard rubs his hand over the bulge, again and again. He’s moaning so prettily while Christoph watches.

It should be weird that Christoph is allowed to see him like this, but somehow it isn’t. They are friends and have known each other for so long, he just wishes he could see this again and again.

Richard rubs himself a bit harder and he can’t help but throw his head back, when precum leaks over his fingers and underwear. Christoph isn’t sure why Richard isn’t fully naked yet but he seems already close, just from rubbing himself through the underwear.

Just then Christoph puts his own hand on Richard’s thigh. When he squeezes and Richard’s dick jerks and just like that he’s already coming.

Christoph doesn’t even bat an eyelash, he just continues to smile at him, his left hand still on Richard’s thigh.

“You look so gorgeous,” Christoph says and Richard’s face flushes from shame and excitement at the same time. Maybe even from the praise. Richard is breathing hard and he doesn’t really seem to know what to answer.

“Uh thanks. I’ve always been sure that I’m good looking and that’s it,” Richard says and Christoph doesn’t think that’s funny. No, he’s actually frowning at Richard, even tilting his head.

“Don’t talk about yourself like that,” Christoph says and he’s actually angry. Now it’s Richard’s turn to frown back at him.

“We both know it’s true. Spare me the humiliation,” Richard says and he carefully gets up. He makes a face, because he probably hates the feeling of his wet underwear sticking to his dick.

Christoph stops him though and Richard sits down on the carpet once again. Christoph points at the mirror next to the chimney, but Richard doesn’t know what Christoph wants from him.

“What do you see?” Christoph asks and he’s watching Richard through the mirror now as well. His beautiful gray eyes are wide and he looks almost sweet. Sadly a bit teary.

“A hot guy?” Richard says slowly, sounding so unsure.

Christoph’s frown grows heavier and it seems like Richard isn’t sure what he had said wrong. When Richard looks away from the mirror, Christoph takes his chin between his fingers and makes him look back at it.

“Why are you showing me this? I know that on some days I’m not even hot,” Richard says, but Christoph shakes his head, he’s surprised that Richard doesn’t get it.

“I wish you could see yourself like I’m seeing you,” Christoph says and Richard seems even more confused. Richard at least puts a blanket over his lap, because he feels uncomfortable now.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Richard says and he sounds so angry.

“Richard, you are so much more than hot. Of course you are incredibly handsome and I know exactly why so many fans adore you. But to me you are everything. You are so hardworking and I don’t know anyone else who cares so much as you do. Nobody has a heart that big and it’s the reason why I fell so hard for you,” Christoph rambles because he had waited years for this moment.

Richard actually tears up.

“What?”

“I love you, you damn idiot!” Christoph says and Richard is speechless for a moment. Christoph suddenly frowns. Maybe Richard really had only been drunk and nothing more.

“Sorry,” Christoph says and he wants to get up. This time Richard holds onto his hand.

“Do… you really mean that?” Richard asks and Christoph nods.

“Of course I do.”

Richard smiles shyly and wipes a tear away.

“I’ve been in love with you for years,” Richard says and Christoph kisses him again and again. Richard laughs between all the kisses.

It’s the cutest sound he had ever heard.

“But then wy didn’t you fuck me?” Richard asks and Christoph stops to kiss him for a second.

“I wanna do that right. I mean the chimney fire is awesome, but our first time should be at home in a bed, don’t you think?” Christoph says and Richard nods so shyly again.

“Sounds good to me,” Richard mumbles.

“Does that mean you would spend Christmas with me?” Christoph asks and when Richard agrees, they kiss again. Maybe Christmas could really end up as something beautiful.

“Do you want uhm… me to return the favor? I mean you didn’t come…,” Richard says and Christoph laughs.

“Who says I didn’t?”

Richard’s eyes go wide but then they are both laughing. Christoph could never get enough of this man.

Ten minutes later Christoph is still so happy, whe they both laid down in front of the fire after they had dressed again. Richard is fast asleep, cuddles against him. Christoph smiles and carefully strokes Richard’s hair.

They will talk more about this tomorrow.

Richard wakes up the next morning, feeling cold and uncomfortable. He sits up and realizes he is still curled up on the damn carpet. He blushes when he remembers what had happened here.

When he looks around he can see that his mug is on the table, but there is a bright yellow post-it on it.

“All I want for Christmas is you.”

Richard smiles and hastily gets up. He can clearly hear Christoph singing in the kitchen while probably making breakfast. Richard wants some morning kisses and maybe some painkillers for his head.

Kisses first though.
