AN: Hey guys, here's another one :] i spent this evening sat watching Curt, Riker, Titus and Dom's old livestream on youtube, and it still makes me smile everytime xD This is the last chapter i'm gonna get up before i go back to school on Monday, which means the updates will slow down a bit, but im hoping to post once a week at least, it all just depends on how much coursework i have because i actually figured out that I only have 12 school weeks left before i go on exam leave for my GCSE's o.O crazy times. Also, thank you everyone who reviewed the last chapter, as promised, this is my virtual valentine to them

Haha, so yeah, sorry for the long authors note, here's the chapter for you guys! Enjoy!

Nick woke the next morning to an incessant noise in his ear.
"Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. "Jeff was whispering, his lips right on Nick's ear. Nick groaned, turning over and seeing his clock read '5:30'
"Jeff… I love you, but why are you waking me up at 5:30…?"
"Because IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Jeff yelled, jumping on the bed. Nick's eyes opened wide as he remembered the day. He grinned at Jeff, looking so adorable with his messy bed-head and flushed cheeks.
"Well! What are you waiting for?!" Jeff yelled, grabbing Nick's hand and dragging him upright in bed.
"Okay okay, just let me have some coffee before we open presents, please?" Nick smiled, seeing Jeff pout.
"Fine, just be quick!"

15 minutes later, Nick felt more human as the two boys sat next to the tree. Between the two of them, and presents from Kurt and Blaine, there were actually piles of gifts under the tree.
"Do you want to go first?" Nick asked, seeing as Jeff looked like he was going to explode if he had to wait any longer.
"YES!" Jeff yelled and picked up a gift, "Hmm," Jeff said, reading the label, "merry Christmas, angel, keep up the dream." He leaned over to kiss Nick before ripping off the paper. Inside was a box, and in the box was a mug with the words 'Real men do ballet' printed across it. Jeff squealed like a girl, ironically, stood up and did a pirouette with a cheeky smile
"Thank you honey" Jeff grinned
"No problem angel, now, my turn!"

An hour later, the presents were all open. Jeff had gotten other presents from Nick, including a necklace with a weird shaped charm on it. When Jeff looked confused, Nick explained
"It's the symbol for Dopamine, the chemical that causes love…" Jeff couldn't help but let out an 'awwww'.
"Nicky, that's so sweet! I love it! I love you" he gushed before putting it on. Jeff had also gotten Nick his fair share of gifts, including a new camera he'd been looking at. Kurt and Blaine, obviously knowing about Nick and Jeff's gifts to each other in advance, got the couple a Paris guide book, day passes for Disney Land and a new coffee maker. The tag for the last present had said 'Jeff, Nick cannot survive without coffee in the morning, and your machine makes dirt. Believe me, you'll thank us'
They had both laughed at this and tried it out immediately, and even Jeff, who was adamant his coffee didn't taste like dirt, agreed it was fantastic.

After a while, both boys moved to the kitchen where the turkey was already in the oven. Jeff stood humming Christmas songs along with the stereo as he chopped some veg. Nick leaned against the counter top and smiled at his boyfriend.
"You're so gorgeous angel," He sighed happily, grinning at the blush that rose in Jeff's cheeks.
"Merry Christmas Darling" Jeff smiled, wrapping his arms around Nick
"Merry Christmas" He smiled

After they had eaten Christmas Dinner, the two boys settled on the couch to watch WALL-E, one of the DVDs Jeff had gotten Nick, when there was a knock on the door. Looking confused, Jeff went to answer. There, out in the hallway were Kurt and Blaine, snow covering their clothes.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" They yelled, hugging a grinning Jeff tightly. The couple shuffled inside, pulling off their coats, Kurt fussing over his hair for about 5 minutes before Blaine told him to stop because he already looked perfect.

After the thank you's for presents were exchanged, the two couples fell into comfortable conversation, Nick practically sitting in Jeff's lap as the blonde played with his hair
"Right, Jeff, I know for a fact Nick got you Just Dance for Christmas, so let's break out that bad boy!" Kurt giggled, obviously a little tipsy from the champagne Blaine had broken out.

An hour later, the four men were a giggling heap on the floor after too much dancing had mixed with too much drinking. Several times Nick had gotten completely distracted mid-conversation by the movement of Jeff's hips as he danced. A few times, the blonde noticed and shot a wink over at his boyfriend, making his heart pound faster.

"OH. Nick. Nicky. NickNick" Blaine rambled, pointing at his friend, "Me and the lovely, beautiful, gorgeous Kurt here… Hello Honey… wait… what was I saying? OH YEAH! We're having a new year's party. You boys in? Warblers are coming…" The curly haired man giggled, the most drunk out of all of the boys.
"Which warblers?" Nick quizzed
"Erm… Wes, David, Trent, Thad, Nick… oh wait, that's you!" Kurt giggled
"OH, and Sebastian" Blaine added. Nick stiffened noticeably at the mention of the former warbler's name. A fairly sober Jeff gave his boyfriend a concerned look.
"I'll explain later," Nick whispered, before yawning and staring pointedly at the clock. It was gone 11, and as much as he loved Kurt and Blaine, it had been a long day and really he just wanted to curl up in bed with his boyfriend. After all, he was meeting Jeff's family tomorrow.

Thankfully, Kurt and Blaine took the hint and said their goodbyes, mumbling something about leaving Nick and Jeff to 'get their groove on'. Jeff rolled his eyes before shoving both men in a cab, not trusting them to walk home in their intoxicated state.

Less than an hour later, the two boys were curled up in bed, Nick's feet cold against Jeff's.
"Nick… Who's Sebastian?" Jeff asked.
"Ah. That. Well, he joined the warblers just after Blaine left for McKinley. Thing is he was a complete flirt. He tried to steal Blaine off Kurt, he made moves on straight guys, and he was just a bit of a whore. He nearly always got what he wanted, and, well," Nick swallowed, "For a while what he wanted was me. He chased me for months. He flirted, he schemed, and at one point he kissed me without my permission… It was my first kiss…"
Jeff pressed his lips into his boyfriends hair and waiting for him to continue.
"When I wouldn't give him that he wanted, he decided to make my life hell. He slept with every guy I liked, he stole dates from me, and he just made me miserable. The rest of the guys, including Kurt and Blaine, made their peace with him years ago, but I never have. He still never got what he wanted, and lord knows he'll still try"
"Well," Jeff whispered into Nick's ear, "I'll just have to make sure he doesn't get anywhere near you." The possessive edge to the blonde's voice giving Nick goose-bumps. Jeff kissed his way down the brunettes neck before kissing his lips tenderly.
"Merry Christmas babe, I Love You" Jeff whispered, pulling Nick close
"I love you too angel" Nick replied before they both drifted to sleep together.

AN: So there you go guys, sorry it was a bit of a boring christmas day, but we get to meet the sterlings next chapter, and i've set it up nicely for New Years! I'm so excited to get to write all of The Warblers. I've never written anything with all of them before and there are so many people out there who write them so well, i hope i do them justice!

Until next time - x
