Author's Notes: I've watched a few of Joey Graceffa's things and do like some of the Shoey vids, but I won't claim to be the most knowledgeable person in the world when it comes to him. I just love his friendship with Kalel and Anthony from what I've seen of it, so I thought I would include him as Kalel's go-to guy for Anthony shopping. No romantic shipping in this chapter. Just sailing the friendship boat. :)

Anthony was probably the absolute most difficult person to shop for. Kalel didn't even know where to start when it came to picking out gifts. Sure, she could find things she thought would look good on him, but there was no guarantee he would like it. She could also find things she liked FOR him, but again, there was no telling if he would even want those things. Kalel had faith in his ability to pretend to like something, but she could always tell. He got a certain spark in his eye when he got something he really wanted.

So she took on this difficult task of shopping for her soon-to-be-in-a-year husband, but she definitely wasn't doing it alone. Joey Graceffa had been a good friend of theirs for a while. He might not have been Ian's status of bestie with Anthony, but he knew him well enough. It also helped that he was a guy. Kalel trusted his opinions, not to mention Joey confessed he hadn't even begun Christmas shopping - so it really was the ideal time to drag him out to start while systematically having him help her. They won either way.

"So my first thought is clothes. I mean, I love Anthony dearly but he definitely doesn't know how to dress himself," Kalel laughed. "If it was up to him, it'd be T-shirt and the same pair of jeans every day. And then days he feels like dressing up, he'll toss a flannel shirt over top."

"Shoot. That boy needs some clothing 101. Why are you slacking on that? Aren't you supposed to be the fashionista of the relationship?" Joey accused.

"Hey, now. There've been some improvements. It's a difficult case."

"Psh, giiiiiirl. You have one job."

Kalel held her hand up, planting it on the side of Joey's face and pushing it away lightly, her voice rich with attitude, "Whatever." She came to a halt outside a trendy clothing store. "Ooo. Let's go in here."

The pair entered the store and immediately headed over to the men's section. Joey became distracted looking for things for himself and while they had a few exchanges over whether some things would look good on Anthony, for the most part they came out empty handed. They browsed a few more stores in this manner - and in some, Joey had luck finding things for people on his shopping list. Of course, Joey had it a little easier since he had a couple people to shop for (none of them being the most impossible-to-shop-for-guy).

It was only a few hours in and Kalel was already willing to give up, dragging her feet along to each store. Maybe she could make something for him. She was about to voice her thoughts aloud to Joey when something gleaming caught her eye. She stopped in her tracks and backed up toward the jewelry store window, looking at the display case of sparkling gems and glittering diamonds. In the necklace section, her eyes zeroed in on one in particular. It was a silver chain giving way to a silver based dragon with green emerald pieces encrusted along it as scales and garnets for eyes. The dragon's body was wound around a large, sapphire orb - Anthony's birthstone.

"Joey! What do you think of this?" She waved him over to join her.

He backtracked to her side, looking at the overwhelming gleam in the cases, "Whoa. That's a whole lot of bling."

"The necklace. This one, with the dragon. Do you think Anthony would like it?"

Joey studied it for a moment, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I personally think it's cool, so if he doesn't - you can just regift it to me."

She made a face at him, "Seriously."

He sighed, "Alright, seriously? I think he'd love it, but it might be a little too fancy for him. I mean, when would he wear it? You'd have to go out and make special occasions just for him to have a reason to put it on."

Kalel chewed on her lip, "You're probably right. But it's the only thing I've seen that seems like it suits him."

"How about this? You stop thinking about what suits him and start thinking from here," Joey reached down, planting his hand on her chest.

She looked down at his hand and then back up at him with an upraised brow, "My boob?"

"Your heart!"

"Honey, my heart's on the other side..."

A slightly embarrassed expression crossed his face, "I-I knew that!"

Kalel couldn't help the small smile that crossed her face, linking her arm around his waist, "And this is why I love you." Her head rested on his shoulder momentarily before she branched off. "And also why I brought you with me, so you can put things into perspective."

"Well, I know you well enough by now to know you overthink everything. This holiday's supposed to be about the giving, and whatever present you get for him, he'll love it because you were the one to give it to him, yeah? So why not just wrap yourself up in a bow and give him some fantastic sex?"

"You might just be onto something," she waved her finger in his direction before she skipped a few steps forward, whirling around in a swish of hair and fabric. "Should we move forward?"

"Mmm...actually, I think I might wanna check out this store if you don't mind."

She rushed back, "I was totally thinking the same thing. Let's go!"

And they both bounded into the jewelry store, Kalel eternally grateful to have one of her best friends by her side for this shopping adventure.
