Handy paced back and forth, visibly uncertain and troubled about something in his mind.
"Yarr! You be okay Handy?" Asked someone inside the room.
Handy looked at the otter, his boyfriend, Russel, coming out of their bedroom cabin.
"Y-yeah, totally fine, nothing wrong at all!... Why do you ask?" Handy said waving his nubs and his voice shaky and panicked.
"Well, you be seemingly troubled, there be anything you want to talk about?" Russel asked the troubled beaver curiously.
Handy shook his head.
"No, its fine, don't worry about me" Handy told him convincingly.
Russel decided to drop it, even though it was obvious Handy had something that deeply bothered him.
"Alright, if you be saying so. I'll be back at me boat, fishing as the usual" Russel reminded him and left Handy to his own thoughts.
Handy wiped his forehead… And forgot he had no hands and groaned angrily and looking at the general direction of the reader.
"What would I even give Russel as the perfect Christmas present!?" Handy yelled, hitting his face with his nubs.
"Hmm… Maybe going outside might inspire me to think of something… Or better yet, find the gift!" Handy laughed at the brilliant idea he thought of.
Handy left the ship/house that Russel owned, ever since they had a relationship, Handy had been living with Russel, the sounds of the waves, the gentle rocking of the ship, and the hammock beds were a relaxing change to live on.
The first place he had bumped into was the park, of course, since it was Christmas, some of the couples had left their homes to spend it with their loved ones.
A purple beaver stood in the middle of the park with someone, shivering in the park.
"Brrr… C-can we go home now Splendid?" Begged Toothy, who despite being in his winter attire, was shaking.
A blue squirrel next to Toothy was holding ice-cream, one for each of them.
"But you haven't even seen what I wanted to show you!" Splendid said with no obvious signs of being cold.
Toothy was not at all interested at standing around there while his boyfriend/superhero was holding already cold treats in the cold weather.
"I'm sorry Splendid but standing around here with you holding two cones of ice-cream is not in any way I imagined I'd be spending Christmas in" Toothy said unamused.
Splendid grabbed his arm to prevent him from leaving.
"Just watch please…" Splendid begged him this time.
Toothy sighed, he wouldn't be able to resist his boyfriend making a worried expression, directly at him at least.
"Alright, what is it then?" Toothy gave in, ready to just get it over with.
Splendid looked directly at the ice-cream, and heating them with his x-ray vision, the ice-cream seemed to be hot now instead of cold, still maintaining it's usual form and handed one to toothy.
"Here, try it, be careful its hot" Splendid warned Toothy.
Toothy licked the warm cream, finding that it was indeed hot and tasted quite nicely too as it would as a normal ice-cream, while Splendid gulped nervously at the display that Toothy gave with the white tasty cream.
"Wow! When did you learn to do this Splendid!" Asked Toothy with amazement.
Splendid rubbed the back of his head with embarrassment.
"I've actually been practicing a month before. Wasted a lot of good ice-cream to make one of these…" Splendid reminisced all the times he had accidentally melted ice-cream to their liquid form in public.
Toothy hugged him, careful not to spill the ice-cream on Splendid.
"Thank you Splendid! You're the best boyfriend ever!" Toothy hugged him, making Splendid blush and hugged him back.
Handy looked at the two, feeling jealous of Splendid. He had no superpowers to do anything just like what Splendid did just now. Handy shook his head, worrying about superpowers was useless, there's plenty of things that he can do without them… Right?
Handy continued on, looking for some more inspiration. He heard a distant tune, which he walked closer to and discovered it came from Giggles' house.
"What the… That's odd, Giggles isn't one to play music" Wondered Handy, looking through the window.
Cuddles was sitting beside Giggles.
"Play it again play it again!" Giggles told Cuddles while nudging his arms.
Cuddles laughed and gave in to her demand.
"Okay okay" Cuddles said, tuning his guitar.
Handy braced himself, Cuddles never was good at playing that instrument, or any other instrument for the matter.
"Here I go!" Cuddles said, about to strum the guitar and Handy closed his eyes.
What he heard was unlike the performance that Cuddles made when he played with them and he heard a sweet melody coming from inside.
Giggles sat and listened dreamily at Cuddles song, who sang with lyrics from his heart, which were exactly what he would want to tell Russel.
The song was over in a minute, and Giggles kissed him for it.
"Where did you learn to play like that?" Giggles asked, hugging Cuddles' arm close to her.
"It's all in the practice babe" Cuddles told her with pride.
"I change my mind, let's cuddle together the whole afternoon" Giggles sighed contentedly and cuddled with, well, Cuddles.
Handy looked at his hands, he could never play a guitar for Russel, nor was his singing all that good.
With a sad expression, Handy left the couple to their privacy.
On the way, he saw Pop and Disco Bear, holding and swinging Cub by his arms, who was currently enjoying the walk with his two dads.
"Thanks for tagging along Disco Bear, it's hard to keep an eye on Cub when I'm all by myself" Pop thanked the disco dancing bear.
"Oh think nothing of it baby, Cub needs to learn from the coolest bear that's ever lived!" Disco Bear said while pointing finger guns at Pop.
Cub started jumping up and down with arms raised up at Disco Bear, begging for a ride. Disco Bear obliged, smiling at Pop.
"I love you" Disco Bear winked at him.
Pop smiled back at him.
"I love you too" Pop returned the gesture.
"I'm sorry, uh, what was that?" Disco Bear asked, distracted by Cub pulling at his hair.
Pop groaned angrily and walked past him.
"Nothing!" Pop yelled without looking back.
Disco Bear chased him from behind.
"H-hey! I'm serious! I didn't hear you!" Disco Bear said frantically while chasing him, passing by Handy.
Handy sighed again, he did not have a kid to give to Russel to make him feel like a dad.
Wait a second… the mall! That's right! He can always find something there!
Going there, he looked at each shop, trying to find a good gift for Russel. Hmm… clothes? No, he always got wet swimming and fishing around… that ship in a bottle? Its perfect!
Handy went to the shop of antiques and figurines which was being manned by Petunia.
"I'd like to buy one ship in a bottle please!" Handy happily asked her.
"Here you go!" Petunia cheerily said, reaching down the counter and giving him a box that had a ship in it, the corner of the box saying "build your own ship in a bottle, bottle is not included"
Handy frowned and looked up at her.
"Uh… Don't you have one that's already built?" Handy asked with huge disappointment since he thought this would be his gift.
"Oh we do… but it's the only one we have and its on display, sorry" Petunia regretfully told him.
Handy looked at the security cameras and humphed grumpily (just like in the show)
Someone tapped Petunia behind the shoulder, she turned and she was greeted by Mims who surprised her with a bouquet of paper mache flowers, each painted and made beautifully to resemble different kinds of flowers.
She giggled and kissed him on his cheek.
"Thanks hun" she thanked him.
Handy was disappointed and left, he wasn't creative, nor was he able to make anything as pretty as that bouquet. He heard a nerdy voice come from a candy shop.
"What you get me!? What you get me!?" The hyperactive voice of Nutty zipped all over the place.
"Calm down, with this, you never need to go to a candy shop anymore" Sniffles told him, giving a wrapped up box for him.
Nutty opened it excitedly, inside was some sort of… coffee machine.
"Oh… that's… nice…" Nutty gave a disappointed groan.
Sniffles wasn't sad at all at his disappointment, pressing some buttons, the machine whirred to life, dropping candy from within it into a container.
"Ooooooohhh" Nutty hastily grabbed the candy and ate them.
"Hehe, like my candy making machine?" Sniffles asked Nutty confidently.
"Yesyesyesyesyes I do! How do you use this?" Nutty looked at the machine closely
"I'll tell you when we get home… Merry Christmas Nutty" Sniffles assumed it would take time just getting his attention rather than teaching him.
"Merry Christmas Sniffles!" Nutty glomped him.
Handy wasn't an inventor in any way, he can't make fish appear out of thin air, or give Russel some functioning legs. No, there's still hope, he just had to look harder!
Handy kept passing by many shops, not too intrigued by food since Russel already had a whole restaurant and can make food of his own. Wait… the movie theatre!
Handy scurried to the ticket booth, but Lumpy was already leaving and started closing down.
"H-hey! Wait! I wanna buy some tickets!" Handy yelled at him, Lumpy had a confused look on his face.
"Didn't you hear? The movies are cancelled today in place of the event. Everyone will be there! You should come!" Lumpy goofily told him.
Handy looked down and closed his eyes in dismay and went away with a heavy heart.
"F-for me?" Handy heard a familiar voice, Flaky's to be exact.
"Yeah Flakes! Open it!" Flippy held a small box for her.
Flaky opened it hesitantly, thinking it might be something she might be afraid of. What she got instead was a comb
"A c-comb?" Flaky stuttered.
Flippy rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah, I couldn't think of anything else, I know you're insecure about your dandruff and all, so I got you this! Sorry its not something as good as a necklace…" Flippy said with a bit of sadness.
Flaky jumped on him, the two of them spinning around.
"I-Its better than I thought! But most of all you… You listened to me… I thought I sounded annoying and pathetic an-"
Flaky was silenced Flippy kissing her, when they broke away, Flippy wiped the tears from her face.
"You're not annoying, you're my precious, vulnerable angel…" Flippy comforted her.
Handy kept getting sadder by the minute. Why can't he be a good listener like Flippy? He always mouthed off at Russel for having no hands and he never considered once to listen to him.
"I can't believe you hate Splendid too!" Shifty lamented.
Of course! That bumbling idiot can't even save a cat!" Splendont murmured to Shifty in the fountain square.
"This… this is the best day ever! Not only do I have a new boyfriend, but someone who finally understands how I feel!" Shifty exclaimed.
"Hehe, you'd be surprised just how similar we are yet different. And since its our first day as an actual couple, here" Splendont gave him a credit card.
"Wait, you're letting me have your credit card? Wouldn't you be worried I would squander it all?" Shifty asked with wonder at the anti hero.
"I know you won't be able to do that, let's just say I'm much more wealthy than that clone of mine… baby" Splendont smirked at him, pulling him close.
Shifty blushed.
"Looks like someone's getting lucky tonight" Shifty said with a blush at Splendont.
Handy wasn't trusting of Russel at back then, he had always been skeptical, he even made Russel work at becoming his boyfriend in the past, maybe he should have trusted his generosity.
"So you have this pickle that frames you for things you never did?" A similar voice from the other side of the square asked to somebody in particular.
"Yes, I didn't want to tell you all this time because… Because you might think I'm crazy…" Lammy's depressed voice said.
"… I don't think that, I believe you" Lifty told her reassuringly.
"R-really? But what if our friends… Or your brother thinks you're crazy too?" Lammy asked him.
"Then fuck them! None of their business anyway, the only one I'll believe is you Lammy…" Lifty cheered her up.
"Thank you Lifty, I never met such a loyal and trustworthy person like you, thank you" Lammy leaned her head next to his shoulder.
"Anytime babe" Lifty played it cool.
Loyal… trustworthy… He had always accused Russel of being unfaithful to him… that he cheated on someone better than him.
Handy couldn't take it anymore and ran away, he was pathetic, he didn't have anything to show Russel how much he cared for him. He was in the main area of the mall, all the tree friends for some reason started gathering around the area as well.
"Thank you for coming everyone for attending the happy tree mall's Christmas ball! Now grab a partner, dance, and enjoy yourselves!" A speaker from the mjcrophone, Mole's voice, rang across the whole mall.
Romantic music started to play, each tree friend grabbed their tree friends and started to dance with them, some even hugged to the dance. The door behind Mole opened, Lumpy came in with some popcorn from the theatre, hugging Mole from behind.
"Merry Christmas Babe…" Lumpy greeted him, slinking his arms down from Mole's neck.
"Hehe, merry Christmas to you too Lumpy" Mole leaned his head to one of his arms.
Amidst the crowd, Handy had kneeled down in the middle, crying on the floor. He was truly alone on Christmas day.
"Yar! There yar be!" Handy heard Russel's voice, looking up at the pirate otter.
"R-Russel?" Handy was pulled back on his feet, Russel hugged and placed his head on his shoulder with his paw, keeping him close with a hooked hand behind him and started to slow dance, saving Handy from embarrassment.
"I be wondering where you be, it be a good thing everybody be going to the same place as you be" Russel explained to the beaver.
Handy stared at him with awe and cried on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry… *sob*… I'm sorry… I'm the most selfish… unfaithful… greedy… disrespectful… and ungrateful boyfriend ever…" Handy sobbed.
Russel was bewildered by what he was hearing from him.
"Handy… why are you saying this?" Russel asked Handy.
Handy raised his head from the now wet shoulder.
"Because… I gave you a hard time…. The whole time we were together…" Handy said, not getting the courage to look him in the eyes.
"Yar! Is that be what you be worrying about…? Well… yar prove to be a scurvy dog the whole time… but that's what I like about ye Handy… ye don't give in easily… you be the biggest fish I've seen in me life… and I be a fool to never let you go… no matter what, even for a million gold…" Russel whispered to him.
Handy kept sobbing… and then giggled… and then was laughing…
"That's the corniest thing I ever heard… but… it's also the sweetest…" Handy said to him, no longer sad and crying.
"It be the truth!" Russel tried to tell him convincingly.
"Suuuuure…" Handy said, irritating Russel a bit.
"Yar! Just come here!" Russel exclaimed, pulling Handy close in a kiss, Handy leaned into it.
"Maybe… maybe today isn't a bad Christmas…" Thought Handy…
Russel and Handy returned to their pirate ship… er, house? Home? (Just enjoy the fanfic and stop judging me!)
"A-a-achoo!" Handy sneezed.
Russel gave a worried look.
"You shouldn't be having wondered of on me earlier. Now you be having the cold" Russel berated him.
"S-sorry…" Handy apologized, it was pretty reckless of him to wander around all day.
"It can't be helped then, let us be taking a bath together…" Russel ordered him.
Handy complied, if there was ever anything that he could never dissuade Russel from, it was taking care of him.
Handy had his eyes closed, as Russel, being the only one with a hand, soaped him up. But the most distinct feature about him right now was his hard cock. He had assumed that Russel was a horn dog in the beginning, but everytime they showered together, he was always that way, Russel's excuse was that he had always found Handy's body attractive.
"Russel… you know about how I always told you that you're not allowed to have sex with me?" Handy started the conversation.
"Yes lad, sigh let me guess, I'm going to sle-
"I think you earned it" Handy told him while he was speaking.
"-ep in the couch tonight… wait… what?" Russel couldn't believe what he heard.
"I said you can… you can ravage me to your heart's content" Handy blushed, fighting the urge to change his mind, both afraid and aroused by Russel's hard cock.
"Yahar! I finally be getting some booty…" Handy cringed at that term.
"If you're done celebrating, can we start already?" Handy asked him.
"Right away!" Russel got in front of him, showing his cock and balls at him.
Handy gulped and kneeled down, the hard cock twitching at him. He licked the head, making it leak precum.
"I be bottling me cock up just for this moment. Go on Handy, go have a taste" Russel advised Handy.
Handy steeled himself and started licking the side of the hard shaft, it continued to produce precum, Handy licked the transparent liquid, it was slimy, doesn't taste too bad, and taking the length inside.
Russel put a paw to steady Handy's pace, moaning and groaning the whole time.
"Don't be choking on it…" Russel warned Handy.
Handy got angry, was he saying he couldn't take it? He'll show Russel…. He'll show he can take that fucking cock all the way!
Russel's eyes widened when Handy took it all in one go, glaring at him all the while. Handy even shook his law away, roughly blowing him all the way hard and fast.
"H-Handy… ah… s-slow down… I'm going to…" Russel warned him.
"Good… shows him not to underestimate me!" Handy thought, bobbing his head harder and faster.
"G-grahhh!" Russel groaned, months of pent up lust releasing into Handy's throat, Handy gulped it all down, trying not to show weakness by not making any choking sounds.
Russel had been taken by surprise, making him pant from Handy's sudden eagerness to please him. Handy was now as hard as him, Russel smirked at that.
"Turn around and let me see that hole" Ordered Russel, Handy leaned against the wall and nervously presented his ass, his cock and balls just below it.
With a smirk on his face, Russel knelt down giving his inviting hole a nice long lick.
Handy jumped up but was held down by Russel, who then began eating him out. Handy couldn't take the treatment and moan, making a pleasured face and having his tongue out of his mouth.
Handy's ass was now ready for his cock to seize, but knew Handy was close to losing it. Russel grabbed his cock, jerking it as he sucked on Handy's balls and buried his nose in his ass, sniffing it.
"A-ah! T-that…" Handy became a quivering mess from the treatment, moaning loudly.
"Russel… I'm going to…" Handy moaned out.
Russel pulled away, taking in the sight of Handy, heavily blushing and horny with half lidded eyes, his needy ass pushing up for him to see and his cock to plunder.
"W-what are you waiting for… fuck me…" Handy begged, it was music to his ears, the nearly abstinent beaver from a few months ago now a needy slut for him.
Russel plunged his cock in Handy, making Handy moan sweetly.
Russel made sure he hit a certain sweet spot within Handy's ass, he turned his head around so he could kiss him, while messing his ass up with his cock.
Handy leaned against the kiss, their tongues meeting and having a messy kiss, making him roll his eyes back.
"Here it comes!" Russel groaned, he knew Handy was close too by the way he clenched his ass tighter and tighter.
"R-Russel...!"
"Handy…!"
Russel came inside Handy's ass, making Handy cum hard onto the floor….
"Open it!" Russel urged Handy to open the present he just gave him.
Handy sighed, knowing there was no point feeling bad anymore about not getting Russel anything and opened the gift.
It was a prosthetic arm, and it looked like it was just his size.
"I'm sorry Russel… You got me something and I didn't get you anything" Handy mused.
"Ah don't be feeling bad about it lad… and it not be for you… it be for us!" Russel exclaimed, attaching the harnesses and cables to his strapped arm.
"Huh?" Said Handy with a puzzled face.
"Remember when you said you could hug me? Well, with this, we can now get what we both be wanting!" Russel said with a joyful face.
Handy teared up and hugged Russel, only unlike their previous hugs, it was no longer awkward leaning onto him.
"Merry Christmas Handy" Russel whispered to Handy.
"Merry Christmas Russel" Handy closed his eyes and smiled.
Leave a review and as always comment, and I know, Christmas and new years is already over fml.
