-A bird under the tree-

Kurt was just now getting out of the shower, drying his hair and wrapping a towel around his hips. He was about to take a long look in the mirror before he heard it.

Tweet... Tweet... Tweet Tweet...

"The hell?" Kurt mumbled.

"Sh, c'mon you're suppose to be a suprise," Kurt heard his boyfriend of four years say in a hushed tone.

Kurt exercised caution and stealth as he stepped out of the bathroon and toward the tweeting sound coming form the living room.

"Sweetheart, what are you do-"
"Kurt!" Sebastian said popping up and obviously trying to stand in the way of letting Kurt see what's behind his back, "Baby, what're you doin gup? It's 11."

"You know I stay up on Christmas Eve," Kurt said, "Now, what're you trying to hide?"

"Hide? WHat do you mean hide? There's nothing to hide," Sebastian said all to quickly. There was a silence before the sound of tweeting and tiny wings flapping took over.

"And what was that then?" Kurt asked raising an eye.

"My twitter account?" Sebastian laughed nervously.

Kurt rolled his eyes and strode over to Sebastian. He took both of Sebastian's arms and moved him to the side and beheld a small canary in a red cage. There was a note on top of the cage. Kurt bent over and picked up the note. He gasped when he read it.

"Hello, my name is Paveratti," Kurt read with a fond tone in his voice. He turned to Sebastian and hugged him tight.

"How'd you know about Paveratti?" Kurt asked.

"Nick and Jeff. I wanted to get you a pet, and I asked them what's my best bet. HTey told me about when you had to take care of Paveratti when you were a Warbler and was pretty bummed when he died," Sebastian said.

Kurt pulled back and pulle dhis boyfriend into a loving kiss. It didn't matter that his towel dropped and Sebastian still had a bit of snow on him or that Sebastian's hand were unbelievably cold against Kurt's bare hips. What mattered was that Kurt felt his love for Sebastian grow even stronger that day from this simple yet complex gesture.

"I love you," Kurt said.

"I love you too, baby," Sebastian cooed softly.
