It was the annual Christmas party at the West Mesa Prison. All the police officers brought presents for their annual secret santa. This year in particular, would be Dave's first Secret Santa.

Dave has had a crush on his co-worker Rupert for the longest time. He loved him so much and he didn't know why. Maybe it's because Rupert was always so nice to him and gave him compliments. Rupert had been the nicest person to Dave since he started working at the prison.

God, he was in love.

Dave decided to distance himself from everyone else because 1 he's not that social and 2 if Rupert saw him, he'd be so embarrassed to even stand up.

Rupert noticed Dave was sitting by himself. He walked over to Dave. Oh god oh shoot he's coming.

Dave looks up to see Rupert and nearly screams. Rupert is holding a present.

"Hey Dave, you alright?" Rupert said.

"Yes, I'm fine. It's just" Dave said. "I don't do crowds"

Rupert reached out his hand. Dave took it.

"It's okay. You can stay by my side if it makes you better" Rupert said. Dave nods.

"Thank you Rupert," Dave said. Now he knows why he's so in love with Rupert.

Soon, everyone was revealing their secret santas and opening their presents. Rupert revealed to Dave that he got him as his secret Santa. He hands him the present.

"Thank you Rupert but you really didn't have to get me anything" Dave said opening the gift.

"But I did. You're one of my best friends" Rupert said. Dave opens it to reveal a nice sweater and a pizza Hut gift card.

"How did you know?" Dave asked.

"You mentioned it one time during a conversation" Rupert said. "I never forgot it"

"Thank you," Dave said. Dave realized it was his turn to give a gift. He reaches into his back pocket and pulls out an envelope. Rupert takes it and opens the envelope, it's a letter:

Rupert,

I don't know how to tell you this in person. But I love you very much. You are the nicest person I've ever met. When I'm around you I get so flustered and I can barely speak. If you don't feel the same, can we still be friends? You're my best Rupert and I don't want that to ever change.

Love, Dave.

Rupert looks up to see Dave all red. There was only one way to respond. He gently grabs Dave by the shoulders and kisses him on the lips. The scene transitions to the two of them kissing on the couch. It was Christmas Day and Rupert decided to spend Christmas at Dave's house. The two break apart to catch their breath.

"I'm so glad I got what I wanted this year," Dave said.

"You know you can use the gift card anytime you like?" Rupert said.

"No, I mean. I get to be with you" Dave said. "And that's even better than a gift card."

Dave and Rupert hold each other.

"Merry Christmas Rupert" Dave said.

"Merry Christmas Davey"

Charles was crying again but this time it was tears of joy. The Crewmate handed him a tissue.

"May I go next?" Galeforce said. "I have a story similar to yours Rupert except it's more family oriented"

Charles turned red, knowing what the General was talking about.

"Aww are you gonna tell them THAT story?" Charles said.

"Yes. This story is about Charlie's first Christmas" Galeforce said. "Ft Dadforce"

"Please don't say that again," Reginald said.
