Please note, this was HEAVILY, heavily influenced by this story: /s/7637762/1/Merry_Christmas. (Merry Christmas by raspberrybubblegum) I didn't ask the writer if I could use her/his "prompt," but if they want me to take this story down, I completely understand. Also, I completely, completely, completely encourage everyone to read it. It really is such a good fic. :-)
Enjoy and review!
"Jesus, it's freezing," Jack yelped, bursting through the door of their cozy, heated apartment. He rubbed together his mittened hands furiously and collapsed on the couch, burying himself in blankets.
"Well, hello to you too, Jack." Eric smiled, walking over to him with two mugs of steaming cocoa. He placed one in Jack's hands and another on the nearby stand. Jack slipped off his jackets once the warmthness settled in and sipped his hot chocolate tentatively. He watched as Eric walked over to the kitchen to get a bowl of popcorn. He didn't even realize he was staring until the thought of how cute Eric's butt looked in his jeans approached his mind. Jack's mouth opened slightly and his eyes bulged out as he quickly brushed aside the slightly less-than-heterosexual visual.
"And here we have a Christmas carol showing on ABC Family. However, the Grinch isn't in this version," Eric declared sadly, plopping down next to Jack. He studiously watched the television, eating handfuls of popcorn mindlessly. Jack tried to focus on the screen, but it wasn't long before his gaze wandered to Eric, his eyes lowering down and down until it reached the zipper of his jeans.
"Undressing me with your eyes isn't going to do anything, Jack." Eric smirked, turning his head to face Jack. His cheeks instantly turned crimson, leaning backwards to avoid suspicion.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Eric, I'm just trying to watch the movie." He laughed nervously, eyes shooting to the TV. Eric's smirk grew as a sarcastic laugh escaped his lips.
"You've been doing it for the past twenty minutes." Which, begrudgingly, Jack admitted to himself to be true. "I have no problem with it, since I'm such a handsome devil, but in the future, make it less obvious. I'm not that stupid, sweetheart." His fingers ran through Jack's hair affectionately as he resumed watching the movie, as if what Jack was doing didn't affect him in any way. Jack shivered with the touch, trying to resist Eric's teasing. He batted Eric's hand away, knowing he didn't mean any of it and was just trying to toy with his emotions.
"Can't overcome my charms, can you?" Eric laughed, leaning so close to Jack that he was practically on top of him. Jack could smell the mint of his breath.
"Man, I don't know what you're doing, but I need some personal space." Jack tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, but his breathing started to hitch and Eric's auburn eyes began to look even more alluring.
"Are you saying you don't enjoy this? If I kissed you, you wouldn't mind?"
Before Jack could yelp out a 'no!', Eric's lips pressed firmly against Jack's, sending tingles throughout his body. He could taste the sweetness of peppermint as he let him explore the opening of his mouth.
As they pulled away, Eric gave a satisfied grin, leaning back onto the sofa. He looked at a surprised Jack, who leaned foward and whispered something into his ear.
They couldn't get into his bedroom fast enough.
