Roy ducked his head into Tim's study, setting the duffel bag he carried on the floor, smiled fondly at his lover for a second, who was absorbed into whatever he was doing on the computer, then softly cleared his throat to get his attention. “Hey sexy, do you mind if a stash this in here? I'd rather Lian not see it.”
Tim looked up from the screen smiling at Roy. “Sure, but I thought we were all done buying for her?” he asked as he eyed the duffel bag.
“It's not a present,” Roy said with a grimace as he put the duffel bag in the closest. “It's a Santa Claus suit and I don't want Lian asking why does Daddy have a Santa suit.”
Tim quickly saved what he was working on and swiveled around in his chair giving Roy his full attention. “So . . why do you have a Santa suit?” he asks cocking an eyebrow at his lover.
“Because Superman can't play him at the annual toy drive this year and Dinah told him I would.” Roy said miserably as he leaned against the closet door.
Tim stretched out his legs and leaned back in his chair, biting his lip to keep from smiling at his boyfriend's sullen expression. “You could have told Dinah you didn't want to do it.”
“Uh-uh,”Roy said as he sulked a little more, “As soon as Dinah told him that I'd do it he finds me and tells me how grateful he is that I'm doing this for him. How disappointed he is that he has this thing in Japan he has to do. Though he's glad that the kids won't be disappointed since I'll be there.” Roy gave Tim a glare as he let out a snicker. “You try and tell Superman no when he's talking about not disappointing kids and how grateful he is to you.”
Tim got up and crossed over to Roy, wrapping him up in a hug. “Aw I'm sorry. Didn't know you were such a softy though,” Tim said with a smile.
“Laugh while you can. I told Dinah that you'd help out” Roy said with a pout.
Tim leaned up and gave Roy a kiss,”Sure I'll help. Don't mind at all helping collecting the toy donations and posing for pictures.”

A few days later found Roy and Tim at the toy drive in Metropolis. Members of the JLA, JSA, Teen Titans, and even a few members of the Outsiders were all there. Tim was talking to some kids along with Cassie, when Black Canary came up to smiling. “Robin what are you doing out here?” She leaned in close and whispered. “Shouldn't you be changing into your costume? It's almost time for Santa.”
Tim looked at her with a bewildered look on his face. “Costume? But I'm already .. . “
“Sorry kids but Robin is going to come help me go look for Mr. Claus. He'll be back later.” Canary called out to the crowd as she dragged Tim backstage.
“What's going on Canary?” Tim said as he was finally able to free himself from her hold.
“What's gong on is you better hurry up and put your elf costume on if your going to be dressed in time for Santa's “arrival” Canary said as she grabbed a garment bag and shoved it into Tim's hands. “Oh and don't forget this,” she said as handed him a small white tube of something.
“What is this? What do you mean elf costume?” Tim asked with a confused look on his face as he juggled the items that Canary shoved at him and trying to understand what Canary was talking about.
“It's glue for the elf ears. Roy said that you would help,” Dinah said as she pushed him towards the changing room.
“Well yeah but . . .”
“Robin!”
Tim looked up to see a grinning Superman walking toward him. He walked up and clapped Tim on the shoulder. “I just wanted to thank you for your help today. I was disappointed to find out that Kara and I had this commitment in Japan the same time as the toy drive. I just want to thank you and Roy for taking over the roles as Santa Claus and his elf,” Superman said beaming.
“Taking over the roles?” Tim said slowly as he began to understand what was going on.
“At least I know everything is in good hands with you and Roy in charge of everything. The children will love you both.”
“Well you see . . .” Tim began.
“I'll at least be able to give you two a good introduction before I leave.” Superman said as he gave Tim's shoulder a slight squeeze. “The means a lot to me thank you.”
Tim gulped and just nodded. “Sure no problem.” Tim said giving Superman a smile.
“You better go change, you and Roy are due on stage soon.”Superman said as he turned and walked to the stage.
“Ho Ho Ho,” a voice says from behind Tim before he gets to the changing room. “And don't forget the blush. My elf's need to have rosy cheeks.”
Tim turns to see Santa Roy standing a few feet from him, his green eyes sparkling brightly at him. Tim's smile turns to a scowl as he marches over to him. “You're a dead man Harper,” Tim hisses quietly at his lover.
“Ho Ho Ho, it's an attitude like that that will get you on the naughty list,” Santa Roy says shaking a finger at Tim. “Now go get changed and I'll think about putting you back on the good boy's list,” Santa Roy said as he turns Tim around and pushes him toward the changing room, giving him a small slap on the ass to send him toward the room.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, boys, and girls, it's my extreme honor to introduce a man who does more good in one night than I could ever hope for.” Superman said with a smile. “May I give you Santa Claus and his helper elf.”
The curtain draws back and out steps Santa Roy, waving to the crowd giving heart felt laughs. Tim thought they had chosen wisely when they asked him to do it. Despite the protests he made, Tim knew Roy liked being involved, liked making a differences in people's lives. Tim on the other hand felt totally ridiculous. The green tunic wasn't so bad Tim guessed if it wasn't paired with red and white stripped stockings and a green hat that had a bell at the tip of it. What really made the whole thing laughable was the pixie boots that was part of the outfit. After all these years Tim was finally wearing pixie boots. The worse part was seeing Dick doubled over with laughter as Tim walked out, he figured he didn't need any make up on with as red as his face must be.
“Ho Ho Ho. Though it's true I go all over the world in one night giving out presents, even I need a little help,”Santa Roy says addressing the crowd. “So please give a toy so no child goes without on Christmas.” The crowd cheers, several waves the toys they brought in the air.
After that Santa Roy made his way to Santa's chair and with Tim's help greeted the children that was there as the other heroes took the toy donations, talked to people, and posed for pictures. Child after child sat on Santa Roy's lap and whispered their Christmas desire into the man's ear and then posed for a picture, after that they got done talking to Santa Roy they went to Timmy the elf and received a small present and a hug. After several hours and all the children had gotten to see Santa, the jolly old man and his elf waved good-by to the crowd and leaves the stage.

Tim sits down in a chair with a tired sigh. It had been a long day, but a lot of kids were happy and it turned out to be the best toy drive ever. Tim was happy to be involved, but right now he was even happier to get out of the make up.
“You did good today, little bird,” Roy said making Tim look up. Roy leaned against the dressing room door that Tim was using. Roy had removed the the coat, white beard and eyebrows, and extra padding. the Santa hat was cocked to one side, the red pants and black boots were all that remained of Roy's earlier outfit.
Tim's eyes swept over Roy's bare arms and broad shoulders appreciatively. If anything else his lover did know how to get Tim's interest. “You know you could have just told me that you needed me to play the elf,” Tim grumbled as he wadded up his hat and threw it at Roy.
“What and miss the look on your face when Dinah told you about the glue for the elf ears,” Roy says as he easily catches the hat.
Roy walks over and places the hat back on Tim's head and slowly traces the seam between the top of Tim's ear and the rubber pointy part of the elf ear.”Nice job. I'd almost think they were real.” Roy whispered, his warm breath little more than a caress to Tim's cheek.
Tim shivered at the feel of Roy's breath. “Don't change the subject. You made me wear pixie boots,” Tim said attempting a glare.
Roy chuckled again as he straddled Tim's lap and sat down. “Aw the little angry elf is pouting,”
“Stop calling me an elf,” Tim grumbles as he absently places his hands on Roy's hips.
“Now what can Santa do to cheer up his grouchy little elf,” Roy teased as played with the buttons on Tim's tunic.
“You are impossible,” Tim said as he shook his head at Roy. “Don't think all you have to do is be charming and I'll just forget about how you tricked me.”
Roy just chuckled as he cupped Tim's cheek and slowly left kisses across Tim's brow. “Now that doesn't sound like Santa's favorite elf has the right Christmas spirit,” Roy murmured against Tim's skin.
“Roy . . “
“Yes my elf?” Roy asked as he began to leave kisses along Tim's jawline, pushing him back against the chair. Tim gave up on being mad at Roy and just enjoyed Roy making it up to him as Roy made it to his mouth. Warm lips covered his, as Roy's hands held Tim's head still as he began to plunder Tim's mouth. Tongues intertwined as Roy and Tim clutched at each other, each moaning softly.
Slowly Roy broke the kiss and pulled back and looked at Tim. “Now do I still have a grouchy elf?”
“Ho. Ho. Ho,” was Tim's reply.
