Story
Mistletoe
"Uhm, I appreciate the offer Lara, but I…" Van looked helplessly around for Deaq. "You're brother really wouldn't appreciate me going out with you." The Hayes family annual Christmas party had been going along fine until Deaq's youngest sister had cornered him under the mistletoe. She really hadn't been content to settle for just a kiss on the cheek.
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Besides, he's your partner, it's not like he owns you."
"Wrong on both accounts little sister."
Van's relief at Deaq's presence quickly changed to dismay as his partner grabbed his head and pulled it forward until their lips met. He fought briefly then relaxed into the kiss with a soft moan. He didn't know what the hell Deaq was doing, but he let himself enjoy the brief fantasy for a moment before he pulled away.
There was absolute silence in the house for a second before Lara cleared her throat. "Oh-sorry Deaq, I didn't realize…I mean…" A blush suffused her face, turning caramel skin pinkish in embarrassment.
"Yeah, well now you do." There was a hint of belligerence to Deaq's tone as he addressed his sister.
Van looked at Deaq in shock. His partner must have really been hitting the champagne. "Um, we're gonna call it a night." He tried to ignore the various looks Deaq's little display and his announcement generated as they said goodbye to Deaq's family.
They were in the car before Van spoke again. "Are you drunk or what? What the hell were you doing back there?"
Deaq glanced over at him defensively. "What? Was I supposed to let my little sister crawl all over you?"
"Yeah, yeah, if it meant you didn't just out us to your family. You gotta…tomorrow, man, you gotta tell 'em it was a joke. You had to much to drink and you thought it'd be funny to fuck with them, okay."
"What if I don't? What if I wanna tell the truth for once? We lie for a living Van, maybe I'm tired of it in our personal life."
"Deaq you didn't speak to your family for years. Things are just getting good between you. Don't throw that away for …" He didn't know what to call what they were. Fuck buddies, Lovers, Boyfriends…in the six months they'd been doing this they'd never given it a name.
"For what? For you? For us? Whatever this is Van, it's not …it's real you know, at least for me. It's worth the risk. They want me, they take us."
Van swallowed hard, surprised at the lump that came into his throat at his partner's words. "So, what are we like a package deal now?"
Deaq leaned over and kissed him, letting their tongues duel briefly before he pulled away, leaving Van slightly breathless. "Yeah. If that's all right with you?"
Van smiled "Yeah it is."

"Well?" Lincoln Hayes wrapped an arm supportively around his wife while he watched his daughters peep out of the window.
"They're kissing."
"Good. I say we call them tomorrow and invite them over for brunch."
"You were taking a big chance you know, we might have been wrong."
"Hey, if we had been wrong Van would probably be dating Lara. Either way I'm glad to have that boy in the family, and he couldn't be any worse than her last boyfriend."
"Daddy!"
