(Christmas Night)

Mathias was stunned for a bit as his parents walked into the house. Lukas and Emil walking to the door caught a glimpse of the paralysed dane with his mother and father in front of him. He looked a mixture of confused and shocked they were here. The danish woman right in front of his son leaned to the side a little to see the two brothers. She smiled brightly at them.

"Matt? Why don't you formally introduce your friends, dear?" she asked tugging at her son's arm to wake him up a little from the shock. She was very guilty about it. She was usually greeted with an excited puppy of a son but Mathias seemed to be upset. She had been originally a little upset what he said on the phone since they were heading back as a surprise for Matt but hadn't expected the outburst. She was definitely going to be making more trips home and dragging her husband with her. It didn't matter if he had a company to run. When she said they were going home, they did just that.

Lukas nudged Emil to walk toward the parents of the dane. He could definitely see the Dane had the best features from both parents and a lot of his mum's radiant personality. The two parents looked nervous a little though they were trying to stay calm. There was definately a lot of tension thank to that phone call two days ago. Best to break the ice right?

"Hello, I'm Lukas and this is my brother Emil. it a pleasure to meet you."

The norwegian speaking brought the dane back to earth. His parent's attention was on his friends and not on him. The punk knew his manners and shook both the dane's parent's hands. As did Emil. there was conversation happening but it wasn't being processed by Mathias. He was honestly trying to decide if he was mad or kinda happy. He had always this would happen in christmas but now that it happened he didn't know how to react.

"Would you like some coffee?" Emil asked the elder danes in the house. They got nods though Mathias' mum was looking at Mathias a bit worried and guilty. She wore her emotions very clearly whilst her husband was more focused on his surroundings.

"Yes, sweetie. I'm starving to be honest. Aeroplane food is horrid." the nerd's mother, Freya, smiled at the smallest teen.

"Matthias made dinner." Lukas spoke up looking at the dane. Mathias looked at everyone before nodding.

"Yea, I'll go serve it." he moved to go to the kitchen. Matthias' father sighed a bit.

"I'll go put the bags upstairs, you go on ahead dear." he kissed his wife and lifted the bags up.

"Let me help you with those." Lukas went and helped Matthias' father with his wife's many bags. Axel, the nerd's father smiled and nodded with light thank you.

"Thank you sweetheart! He has a terrible back. He is always trying to carry stuff and i have to nag him to stop before he ends up in bed for 3 days asking for me to rub Icy-Hot on his aches." Freya hugged Lukas before dashing off with Emil to the kitchen for a fix of coffee.

Lukas smiled a little at the tiny rant and helped Matt's father. He seemed amused by the rant too. "She does that often. Sometimes i don't know if i do it to get her to rant or to be helpful." he chuckled lifting the bags upstairs.

Lukas smiled more. So the apple didn't fall far from the tree huh? Mathias loved both ranting and driving him crazy. And it was relatable what Axel had just said. What's better than getting your significant other annoyed or frustrated enough to start ranting?

"I trust you would know that Mathias does ranting as well? With the nose scrunch and everything?" Axel asked Lukas. Lukas smirked a bit.

"Ja and then the pout when you have a good reply." he added as they got to the master bedroom. Axel chuckled and pat the norwegian on his back.

"He is just like his mother then." Axel had a fond smile on his handsome aging face. They put the bags down and headed down for more bags. "how did you two meet?"

"School project." Lukas replied straight to it. Axel nodded appreciating it since he was used to much much longer replies.

"Do you two have much in common?" he asked noticing the very different styles Lukas and Mathias had.

"Not really. He likes languages and history and i like science and maths." Lukas pondered at that. They were complete opposites and least likely to have met but ended up doing so as a class project.

Axel smiled a little at the contrast, knowing that the contrast often helped make a person better. "maybe that's what you both need. Balance."

Lukas hummed a bit. He agreed with that though it was odd to think of balance when thinking of the dane. But he saw how they balanced each other out. It was a bit odd discussing the dane with the nerd's father. He wondered if it was a good idea at all. Still, he found the dane's father rather easy to talk to. The dane's mother was a reminder of his mother so it was nice having someone like her back in his life.

In the Kitchen, Emil was making coffee and answering any questions Mathias' mother would ask. Since he had been young when his mother died he never had experienced so much questions being asked. He found it tiring and almost nagging but in it's own way it was a nice feeling.

"So Em, can I call you Em?" Mathias' mother asked trying to segway into another topic. Emil quickly nodded as he handed her a cup with steaming mocha. She smiled and continued. "Find anyone cute at school?"

Emil went bright red instantly. Mathias grinned deviously at the question. He had snapped out of it but was unsure of how to talk to his parents still. The question was great though. Emil looked around he room unsure what to answer.

"Oh! So thats a yes then?" Freya asked smiling teasing the teenager.

"Y-yea, I guess." Emil managed to reply. It was apparently the most exciting thing you could have said to Freya though. And the icelandic teen was starting to realise that the nerd and his mother were partners in crime when it comes to talking about crushes and things like that. They both asked embarrassing questions and teased. Emil glanced at Mathias and pouted.

"not the only one with a crush." he mumbled sipping his own cup of coffee. Mathias looked back at Emil with horror and his mother had a grin from ear to ear.

"oh? Is that true Matt?" she asked smiling sweetly at her son. Something her son was not immune to. It always made him spill the beans, guaranteed.

"M..maybe. not saying anything." he smiled with red on his cheeks. He put the plate of food in front of his mother and set the seat next to her for his father.

"That's no fun. What about Lukas? Does he have someone in mind?" she asked the boys. Mathias stood up straight a bit and looked a little serious as he looked away.

He loved that punk. They had been getting very affectionate but he really didn't know if it meant they were a thing. He wanted it to be so. But he couldn't possibly ask. The punk would say no.. wouldn't he? Without much being said from her son and the look he had she knew who he liked. She glanced at Emil.

"I think he does. But that's just my opinion." Emil smirked a little as the dane glanced over at him and excitedly fidgeted a bit. He knew he would be asked later. With that Freya smiled a bit. That explained a little as to her son was reaction.

"that's lovely! Oh I do hope it goes well for him." Freya grinned. Like clockwork her husband and Lukas walked into the room.

"what goes well for who dear?" Axel asked kissing her cheek and taking a seat next to her. Lukas went to stand by Mathias and Emil. Freya smiled at her husband.

"School for the kids, dear." She grinned at him. He raised an eyebrow knowing that wasn't what they had just been talking about but was hungry enough to ignore it. He was hungry and the food smelled great. She also started eating instantly humming in delight. "This is delicious Matt!"

Matthias smiled and looked very happy and proud of his work. Lukas watched the dane smile and get childishly excited that his parent were eating his food. It was very cute. Axel wasn't even talking. He was just eating as fast and polite as he could. His mother was eating more dainty and slower but was visibly enjoying it just as much. The mopping and downer vibe was vanished from Matthias' systems as soon of his parents really didn't leave anything on the plate. It definitely helped to clear the previous mood in the room. The family were discussing things and getting to know Lukas and Emil better.

Freya was definitely noticing the strong friendship that had developed between the punk and her son. She could also see they liked each other. It didn't take much to know that much. She was brilliant at picking up on social cues from other since she often had to work with and entire team for fashion shows and designs. The way they talked to each other and sat closer than one would with someone they are friends with. Of course these were unconscious subtle hints that her husband was very blind to. She would talk to him later. They definitely wouldn't mind them dating in the slightest. If anything they would encourage it considering how mature Lukas was and how childish Mathias could get to be. Also how reserved the punk was and how open Mathias was. They knew Mathias was gay. He had come out to them from a young age. Both parents were very supportive and were definitely glad that their son had friends that supported and kept their son company.

It was around midnight and everyone had gone to bed a few minutes ago. Mathias was in his room doing some of the coding for their major assignment. Over the shitstorm that the punk and nerd had gone through, they had managed to get homework done on the side and even more so now that it was the christmas holidays. They only had a week and a half left of them. Of course, New Year's was the next big party. Matthias wa deciding to focus on coding for now. It was a pain in the ass but his grades would be coming in soon. He did not want to have anything lower than ninety five percent on all subjects.

There was a knock on the door. He turned around on his swivel chair. He really hoped it wasn't his parents. He wasn't mad anymore or anything like that but he just knew that his mother would ask about Lukas later and he wasn't ready with an answer at the moment. He knew he would need one eventually but eventually wasn't now. He hadn't even told Lukas that he was in love with him. God, that was gonna be hard. He could just say it like that either. But that's how he felt for sure. Regardless if the norwegian didn't feel the same way, he loved him and he would remain to do so even if they never dated and it was one sided. That was a sad train of thought though so Mathias quickly dismissed it.

"Come in." He called out. The door opened and Lukas was there in his pyjamas with his work bag. That was odd. Still, the nerd smiled brightly at him. "Hey, still no sleep?"

The punk smiled a bit and shook his head looking away. He closed the door behind himself and walked over to sit at the end of the other's bed. "I didn't get the chance to give this to you earlier." He said quietly moving to open his bag and take out his present for the dane. Mathias smiled warmly and went to sit with him. He watched excitedly as the other opened up his bag and take out the present to hand to him. Lukas was beginning to get nervous as the other wouldn't like it. He handed it to the dane.

"Thank you! You really didn't have to. It's a present on it's own bein able to be with you" Mathias blushed a bit saying that but he was being honest. He was content with just having Lukas in his life. The punk visibly went red and looked away.

"Well, i did anyways. You've done a lot for Emil and I and so yes i did need to get you something. So open it." He explained himself. The nerd wasn't hitting on him right? It was just a nice thing to say. That's what the nerd does. To everyone.

Mathias smiled brightly with a chuckle leaving him as he shook his head and opened his present. It was the snow globe for his collection. Something he had been trying to stop the collecting but it seemed it was being saved by Lukas. It meant a lot though. He knew the punk had asked him before about it and he had said he wasn't continuing it.

"It's none of my business to interfere with your family life.. But I think you should continue it. It's a small reminder of them and that you still have them. They may be busy and may have gone when you were too young. But are still with you and come when you need them. They love you and that's something worth holding onto." Lukas explained looking at the snowglobe.

It represented a lot for both. To Mathias it's what he had and to Lukas it's what he lacked. Inside the snowglobe it was a family by their little house making snowmen. Mathias was tearing up a bit. He hadn't realised that until now and that he was throwing away something like that. He let out a tiny sniffle and pulled the punk into a tight hug. He pulled him close holding the snowglobe carefully. The punk leaned into the hold and hugged him back. He was slowly opening up a bit to the affectionate actions.

"Thank you." the nerd pulled him close and kissed the other's forehead softly. Lukas nodded gently and rubbed the other's back a bit as he felt a few sobs come out. He Let the dane decide when it was okay to pull away. It was a good 2 minutes before he moved gently. "I love it."

"I'm glad. I was worried it might be taken wrong and you would tell me to get out of your business." The punk spoke a bit nervous as he was sitting down on his seat properly again. Mathias chuckled a bit and got up and put the snowglobe to the on his desk. It was important so it belonged there. He went and sat back down with Lukas.

"I couldn't get mad at you for long i don't think." He smiled. He was making his liking for the punk obvious right?

"You must have something that pisses you off. Other than cubed snow globes." He teased with a smirk. The nerd laughed and snorted a bit. How had the punk put up with him thus far was beyond his understanding. He got mad at such dumb things.

"Maybe. I do hate lies. And being spoiled my favourite shows." He confessed to the punk.

"Wow, that's all it took?" Lukas asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yep. Don't spoil game of thrones for me. Im readin the books. Just like i hear that you hate being tickled." Mathias said with a grin. Lukas narrowed his eyes at him.

"I do hate being tickled." He confirmed.

"Does that mean that you are ticklish?" Matthias asked grinning deviously.

"I will punch you." the punk scoffed crossing his arms over his chest but making sure to guard his sides because that was the weakest spots. His neck was too but he had the time to turn into a turtle of nope and screw any plan the other had on tickling him. They were seventeen- almost eighteen year old in May and June for christ's sake. Not to mention touching was terrible idea. It leads to accidental touching in private areas majority of the time.

Matthias just grinned broadly. He was willing to take that punch to be honest but it was pretty late. Maybe for another time right? They could totally cuddle and sleep right now. "I'll same my hypothesis for later. I think my parents and our brother would appreciate sleep. Wanna watch Supernatural with me?"

"Like the TV series Supernatural?" Lukas asked with an amused smirk.

"Yep, the one all over tumblr. Oh by the way, your brother know you have a blog and may or may not be following it." Mathias informed Lukas as he got his laptop and logged on to Foxtel so he could play it on his TV that was in his room. Lukas groaned in annoyance.

"Great, now he will screenshot everything as use it as blackmail when i don't let him buy licorice." He grumbled a little as he got into the bed that he knew he was gonna fall asleep on 6 episodes into the season. Matt chuckled and got in next to Lukas as the pilot began to play.

"Well, I'm sure nothing too bad will be taken as blackmail." He chuckled as they took the same position they had been every time they had done this. Lukas was leaning on his arm a little and the nerd squirmed a bit closer and leaned back a bit so the other could rest head on his chest and he could have his arm around the other.

The show was pretty intriguing to say the least with relatable characters. Lukas found Dean's devotion to his brother much like his own to Emil so he was very awake and ready to watch what happened next. "I can't believe you're going to drag me to the supernatural fandom." He managed to say about 4 episodes in. Matt chuckled a bit. He was tired but refusing to sleep. His finger were playing with the end's of the punk's hair. They were nice to twirl in his fingers.

"It's good huh? Wait until Cas gets there." Mathias smiled watching the Tv. Lukas looked up at the nerd.

"That's the angel right? Saw a few destiel posts on my feed and was very fascinated." Lukas could see the tiredness.

"Yea, It's basically canon at this stage. So always read in between the lines when it comes to those two." Mathias chuckled hugging the other and starting to have his eyes droopy.

"It's almost 3. Should we sleep and leave the rest for when i get back from work?" He asked the dane. Matthias hummed and nodded. He curled into the punk hugging him and pulling him close. Lukas was pulled into the dane's arms. He decided he should probably sleep facing away from him to avoid waking up like he had been. He turned around so his back was pressed to the other's back. Of course his neck was now the nerd's pillow and they were back to cuddling.

"I'm starting to think if it was up to you we would just share beds." Lukas hummed taking the cover a bit higher as the other turned the TV off with the remote control. The dane went red and buried his face a bit more on the other's neck.

"Maybe that's very true." He mumbled wrapping his arms around Lukas. The punk didn't mind this so much in private but in public it was a different story. It was nervousness as well as the fucked up warning Daniel and Terry had given him. If Kevin found out he was actually this close to the dane.. Lukas didn't want to think what the delinquent would do to mathias. It was those few things that also stopped him from dropping more hints that he may like the dane a lot more than he would admit. The silence though made the dane look up a bit. "I mean… if it was okay and stuff… anyways that a hypothesis to yet run testing on right?"

Lukas smiled and interlaced the dane's fingers with his own being very calm with the other's fail attempts to excuse himself. He hummed a bit in agreement. The punk was biting the inside of his cheek a little. Maybe there wasn't a need to hide it at all. He would just need to be around Emil and Mathias more right? But that's already what he did. He saw Mathias all the time and how house had security so maybe there wasn't any need to worry about what Kevin will do. He gently tugs the other's arms to wrap a bit more around himself feeling calm and warm. Like nothign could ever hurt here.

Mathias found it so easy to sleep like this. The winter temperatures didn't even begin to affect him. It was all just calm warmth. It felt comfortable and the tugging at his arms so they were tighter around the punk made him smile and do so. "I have a theory, ya know?"

"And what is that?" the punk asked.

"You are secretly a cuddle monster and I'm a willing victim." He grinned widely. Lukas grabbed his pillow and smacked the dane with it as he sat up. Mathias laughed and defended himself by hugging the punk's waist.

"How dare you expose me like that." The punk said between pillow smacks. Mathias nuzzled into the other's side, successfully tickling the punk. Lukas instantly tensed and tried not to laugh but damn it. The dane began his attack on his sides laughing. Lukas ended up falling back onto the mattress laughing and snorting adorably as he tried to pry the dane off. It was more difficult than expected since the other had an arm around his waist. The dane was watching with pure glee as the other laughed uncontrollably.

That was until he was flipped over and the shock alone helped get the tickling hands and finger smacked him with the pillow again as he found that the other was making those eyes at him again. The eyes of pure happiness and loving admiration. Lukas took both hands with his own two. Mathias was smiling up at him, knowing he deserved it. "You have a beautiful smile."

Without any more will to think against the action, Lukas leaned down and kissed Matthias, releasing one of his hands to cup the other's face gently. Mathias' didn't register at first. He had just finished complementing the punk and now their lips were touching. A dark blush hitting the nerd's cheeks. As he felt the other's hand caressing his face, he instantly closed his eyes and kissed back. His hands were resting on the punk's legs. He was a little inexperienced since this was the first time doing this but he was learning quickly. Both hearts racing wildly as the two man kissed each other. One becoming two and three and four until Mathias lost count. They were a bit rough but mainly long deep kisses. Only pulling away slowly to gaze at each other,gently and to catch much needed oxygen.

Mathias rolled them over again to how they were at the start. He kissed the other's lips again pecking them this time and continued with the pecks along the other's jawline and cheek. His arms pulling the other to cuddle again. Lukas closed his eyes feeling his heart be soothed and warmed by Mathias' actions. His own tattooed arms wrapping around the as the kisses made it to his ear.

"I love you." Matthias whispered gently with his hands going into the other's longer blonde hair. Lukas opened his eyes a little bit and bit his lower lip. His heart feeling at home now. His body was at ease even his mind was relaxed like this. This was a serious statement and equally serious moment so whilst on any other occasion he would have replied with a smartass reply, right now was not that the time. His heart had been touched.

"I love you too."
