A What Happens To Us Timestamp
Jared sighed as the bed dipped beside him. He could feel the mattress shaking as legs jiggled over the edge and he wanted to scream, because they’d just finished wrapping everything around two am and he really needed more sleep than that. He felt someone blow on his face and took a deep breath, opening up his eyes expecting to see his little green eyed boy there.
Only it was his big green eyed boy sitting there. “Um… morning.”
“Jensen?”
“Yeah?”
“It’s six am.”
“Yeah.” He said, smiling as he tilted his head sideways.
“What are you doing?”
“Christmas morning. Alec’s already awake but playing quietly in his room so I figured I better give you a heads up before he realizes it’s Christmas. Come on, I have coffee in the kitchen.”
Jared got up and realized as they were walking down the hallway that Jensen was practically bouncing on his toes. “You excited about Christmas?" He asked as he followed along behind, trying to figure out what his lover was about.
“Oh, I like Christmas. I mean, it was hard the last couple years, without Michael, but things are different now, you know?”
Jared nodded but he didn’t really. He knew that he and Jensen were doing good, but Jensen still didn’t talk a lot about Michael a lot so in some ways he didn’t know what he was up against. He could understand what his lover was going through though because Michael had been a huge part of their lives and Jensen felt a lot of guilt that sometimes he missed Alec’s father more than he missed Michael as a lover. He didn’t push, but there was something about Jensen that screamed excitement today, even if he was trying to keep it low key.
Alec had been really excited about it too. In fact they’d had to put the Christmas presents up once because Alec couldn’t wait to open them. He kept running in with presents in hand, saying “Alec’s presents? Open Alec’s presents!”
After talking to him a few days, they put the presents back but he’d still go running to them all the time and point to them, calling out “Alec’s presents!”
“Alec seems ready for it.” Jared said with the grin he almost always wore when talking about Alec.
Jensen set a mug of coffee in front of him as he took a seat at the breakfast bar. “Doesn’t he?” He asked, taking a sip of his own coffee, sliding the crème and sugar over with his free hand. “It’s the first time really. He didn’t get it last year. He just… watched everything and walked away and it took forever to get him to open his presents. “
Jared got it then, understood why Jensen was waking him up so early, why his lover had been so restless in the past few days, and why it was so important. He walked around the bar and crowded against Jensen’s back, pressing a kiss to his bare shoulder. “Awesome.” And it was, because he got to be there for it, for Alec’s first real Christmas and he’d never dreamt of having something like that of his own.
Jensen nodded, as he looked over his shoulder at him, his smile larger than Jared had ever seen. Jared kissed the corner of his lips. “So you bought him everything in the world.”
“Says the man whose present is wrapped in a box bigger than he is.” Jensen teased.
Jared laughed. “Just wait…”
His words were cut off as Alec came running out of his room and went straight to the tree. “Alec’s presents!” He shouted.
Jared pulled Jensen against him one last time before letting him go, following Jensen into the living room with the mammoth tree. “Good morning Alec.”
Alec came walking over to his father and smiled. “Good morning Daddy.” He looked over at Jared and gave him the same smile. “Good morning Jared.” He looked at the tree then and back at the two men. “Alec’s presents now?”
“Mine first?” Jared pleaded and Jensen shook his head, but relented when Alec began jumping up and down for it. The box was almost as long as Jared was and almost as tall as Alec, but Jared pulled it out from the wall effortlessly. He pulled the box out and helped Alec find the seam of the paper to open it. The top was lightly taped and Jared had a string running down the center so when Alec pulled it, the whole thing would open. As he did, the top came open and helium balloons spilled out of the huge box. Alec giggled and danced around in the long curling ribbon that made the room a forest of colors.
Alec played with that for a while before jumping into the box to find the tissue paper and packing peanuts that had been waiting underneath.
Jensen pulled Jared to his side and he put one arm around his shoulder as they leaned back against the couch watching Alec. “Good call.” Jensen said, turning to look up at Jared.
“What can I say? I know my boy.”
Jensen’s smile grew serious as he cupped his face. “That you do.” And then he was kissing him, soft and sweet and almost heartbreaking until Jared realized what he’d said, what Jensen was saying with his kiss. He pulled him closer, wrapped the man he loved in his arms and wondered how he’d have ever gotten by without this, without Alec and his special needs and Jensen and his own brand of trouble. They were everything he needed though and they kept him grounded and happy.
When the kiss broke they were both breathless and Alec was watching them. When they looked at him he pointed back to the tree. “Alec’s presents?”
Jensen laughed and Jared got up then, sitting down towards the edge of the tree, beginning to hand out the presents who, not surprisingly, went mostly to their little man.
