Christmas was the time normal worries didn't bother Xander. It was the first year he didn't spend Christmas camping on the backyard listening to his parents drunken fights. This year he spent cuddling in Giles sofa, and he got a taste of normal Christmas traditions. When his lover got up to get more toddy all he could do was smile and after some seconds get up as well and follow the other man in to the kitchen. After watching his lover he made his presence known. His boyfriend stopped looking for gingerbread's and instead smiled at Xander and pointed above his head. Just when Xander was about to look up on the thing that his lover was pointing at, he got kissed sense less by the older man. When they parted for air Xander mumbled

" Not that I complain, but why?"

He just got a short answer muttered against his neck

"Mistletoe…"

A huge smile spread on Xander's face

"I really DO love you Rupert."

"I love you to Alexander"

Then Giles gathered the younger man in an embrace and as Xander returned it he realized that it would be the best Christmas in a long time.
