Hi! Merry (Belated) Christmas! I hope that you like it! (I know that you like DenNed, so I wrote some fluffy DenNed!) Hopefully, you like this sweet holiday themed giftfic! (We've only talked a few times, but from when we have, I've noticed that you're really cool, and I'd love to talk to you more!) Enjoy this giftfic for one of your favorite ships!

Abel's fingers curled around a hand that was a bit rough from harsher winters but still not much so.

Mathias's fingers laced through his as if with ease as he eagerly talked about which stores he wanted to go in to for Christmas gifts as wouldn't Emil like so and so or how about that for Tino?

Seriously the Danish man was like a child on Christmas morning though Abel wouldn't let the other see how amused he was or joyful over spending time with the other blond like this.

It seemed like it would be a normal Christmas tradition for them if they lasted and Abel hoped that they did as he rather enjoyed this relationship despite its lack of monetary gain as Mathias was more than likely going to drain his wallet in the future.

He smiled slightly as he watched the excited Dane prepare for the upcoming holiday, and so he relaxed as he considered this.

Mathias beamed over at him and even leaned in for a brief kiss before pulling away to re-lace their fingers together in joy as he entered store upon store becoming distracted by things that either he liked or thought others may like as well.

His blue eyes were lit up with such a childlike joy on his face as he gazed from store to store and object to object, and Abel relaxed as he watched the more childlike man enjoy this gathering though Abel's gifts for others would be cheap from deals and desires to spend less on those around him though Mathias's gifts to others were clearly of the expensive and extravagant amount for others.

Abel would listen though when Mathias told him not to watch what he was buying for the Dutch man, so he'd turn his eyes away though he would deny listening to his childlike lover.

Finally, Abel's arms came to rest on Mathias's as they shared one final kiss at the mall to end their evening out shopping before they'd see each other Christmas Eve night and on Christmas morning; as far as a shopping trip went, it went surprisingly well in Abel's opinion.

It would just lead on to their own life and beautiful times and moments together; love could be gentle, giving, and kind which was not normally what people associated with Abel though he'd grow to seem almost gentler with his one true love by his side, Mathias.
