Dreams and Meaning of Christmas-

Jake was sleeping peacefully until he heard Jack call his name.

"Jake, are you awake?"

Jake opened his eyes, "I am now, what's up?"

"I can't sleep. It's those dreams again" Jack whispered, hugging himself.

Jake sat up and patted the spot next to him, Jack sat next to him.

"Want to talk about it?"

Jack laid their head on Jake's shoulder, "I-I don't know what to do; I can't sleep, I can't close my eyes, I can't breathe"

Jake held him closer.

"All I see is... him"

"It's okay, I'm here, I'll always be here" Jake whispered into their ear.

Jack snuggled closer to Jake. Jake held them tighter.

"I'll protect you from him, I promise"

Jacks eyes fluttered before closing. Jake held Jack as he too fell asleep.

…

-3 Weeks Later-

"JAKE! TIME TO WAKE UP!"

Jack screamed from the bottom of the stairs. Jake groaned as he sat up, he got dressed into his day-clothing, putting on his cloak, before heading downstairs.

He stopped and blinked at the tree in their home.

"I know I'm new, but wasn't Christmas last year?" Jake asked blandly, "and the year before that?"

"It's kinda annual" Jack replied, "now help me decorate the tree"

Jake and Jack decorated as Jake asked more and more questions.

"What's the purpose of Christmas?"

"Spending time with your family and getting gifts"

"Isn't that the same as a birthday?"

"Kinda, but its celebrating Jesus"

"Why do we need to celebrate Jesus's birthday? Isn't he a spirit or something? Meaning his birthday is once every century, not every year?"

Jack stopped and blinked.

"Huh, I didn't think about that" Jack shook his head, "well, usually the village has a huge celebration on it with festivities and games. It's quite fun"

"So, we also spend time with those not in our family?"

"Exactly, and instead of getting gifts for ourselves, we give them to those in need"

"Like Satan?"

Jack froze before laughing, "Satan?"

"Yeah, I heard a child in the village mention him. He goes around delivering gifts, and by doing so he breaks and enters a house without permission. They even sang a disturbing song about how he is a stalker"

Jack laughed even more, doubling over. Jake just watched him in confusion.

"I think you're talking about Santa" Jack said after recovering.

Jake blinked and gave a disinterested shrug, "I guess"

The two soon finished decorating. And Jack made them hot chocolate.
