Brad only buys three Christmas gifts every year: his mother, his father, and his sister. It’s only his nephew’s third Christmas, so he figures he’s got a few grace years on that yet. He discourages receiving presents from anyone else because he doesn’t want them to feel slighted when he doesn’t reciprocate

I loved this so, so much. That was my prompt! And you filled it so perfectly, PLUS with a holiday twist! Brad displaying affection, with Ray's seeming almost inadvertent and so easy in comparison. I love that Brad deliberately made the effort. I love the before and after aspect, with what Brad used to get, and what he (or rather, Ray) got this time around. Ray's enthusiasm was lovely. Aw, and Ray knowing the people in Brad's family enough to help choose presents, or thinking he knew them well enough to choose presents for them, haha!
He will make a charitable donation online in his mother’s name, because she’s a bleeding heart who talked his father into adopting two children. This is so sweet. And Walt's present was so precious. And Ray's dimple!
AND. Finally. When they step back onto the main aisle, Ray drops his arm, but Brad keeps him close until they get to the register. This is wonderful -- Ray let go as if he knew Brad wasn't into such a public display, but Brad held on ANYWAY. My heart. It swells. Thanks for sharing this!

Oh gosh, I've never had such a nice comment for something that's just under 600 words! And Ray with the presents, I know. I don't think Ray's met them officially yet because it's too soon in their relationship (for Brad, anyway, because he hasn't yet made a comprehensive pro and con list), but it won't stop him from meddling!
And I'm so glad you liked the end. I was all, WHAT IF PEOPLE TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY :( but yes. Brad overcoming his fear of PDA is possibly my kink of all kinks.

Oh my god, this made my heart just SWELL. WITH JOY. Honestly so cute, and one of the things I love best about this pairing - the way Ray always manages to get under Brad's skin. Ugh, so much love <3
