"Reid, time to get up!" Luke walked into the bedroom in just a towel, "Reid, come on."
Reid mumbled something into his pillow and rolled away from Luke. Rolling his eyes, Luke walked around the bed and sat down, placing his hand on Reid's shoulder and shaking him.
"Come on. We promised we would be at the farm early today."
"I changed my mind."
"You can't. You promised."
"I'm breaking this promise."
"Why? Because you'll have to spend the whole Christmas with my family this year?"
"Yes."
Luke laughed, "Come on. We said we were not getting each other a present this year so you can just consider this your present to me. Spending time with my family for once."
"And what do I get out of it then?" Reid finally opened his eyes.
"I'll let you do whatever you want to me when we get home tonight."
Reid smirked, "But I already do whatever I want to you."
"I'll actually let you eat in bed without complaining."
"I get away with that anyway. I just ignore your complaining or kiss you to make you stop."
"You're just shooting all these down so you can get out of going to the farm."
"You catch on fast my young one."
Luke snorted, "I'm not going to comment on that because you'll get angry with me."
"Good idea."
"Get up or I call Katie."
"You wouldn't."
"You know I would. If I can't get you to do something, she always can."
"Fine. I'm getting up."
"Thank you."
Luke went to stand up when Reid grabbed his arm and pulled him back down onto the bed. He yelped as Reid rolled them over so Luke was on his back and Reid was hovering over him with a smirk.
"I just noticed you're only in a towel."
"Your point?"
Reid was leaned in and started kissing down Luke's jaw. Luke closed his eyes and moaned.
Luke and Reid walked into the kitchen at the farm house. They were carrying the presents that they got for Luke's siblings and the other young children. They had told Luke's parents they were only getting presents for the kids this year and their parents said that was fine.
"We were starting to think you boys weren't going to show up." Lily said from the table.
"Sorry. Reid didn't want to get out of bed." Luke replied
"Well, you're here now." Lily hugged them, careful not to drop a present.
Holden and Jack soon came into the kitchen from the parlor and helped Reid take the presents back into the parlor where all the rest already were sitting under the tree.
"I'm glad you two decided to join us this year. We missed you last year."
"I know, Mom. But Noah was here last year and I didn't feel like having a fight break out between them."
Lily nodded. She was still not 100 percent on Reid's side with being with her son, but she understood that Reid made Luke more happier then he had been in years. She also still considered Noah part of the family but Reid was also part of the family because he was with Luke now. Luke and Noah were friends now. Luke still didn't really know how Reid and Noah would react being in the same place.
"I'm sure they would be fine," Lily smiled, "It's been years Luke."
Reid walked back into the kitchen, carrying a four-year-old Jacob, "I found him under the tree."
Luke laughed, "Trying to sneak an early present?"
"Yup. Katie was too busy talking with Chris."
"Are they just here for a few hours?"
"Katie thought Jacob should be with his family at least tonight. Tomorrow they are going to be with Chris' family." Reid replied
Reid sat on the couch in the parlor with Luke tucked into his side like they always did back at their apartment. They were sitting in the parlor with the rest of the Snyder clan. Lily was sitting on the other side of Luke on the couch with Ethan on her lap. Faith with her new boyfriend Chad were sitting, leaning against the couch, cuddled with each other. Parker was sitting with Gabby in his lap by the chair that Emma was sitting in.
Sage and Natalie were laying on the floor, their feet tucked under the coffee table. Lily and Holden were sitting in chairs they had brought in from the kitchen. Jack sat in the second chair with Carly sitting on his lap. Katie sat between Emma's chair and where Reid sat on the couch. Jacob was curled up on Reid's lap, sleeping. Chris sat in another chair from the kitchen, off to the side.
The whole family were in the parlor after eating dinner together and were now watching Christmas movies like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Luke was almost falling asleep on Reid's shoulder. Reid budged him and sat up.
"Where you going?" Luke mumbled
"I'll just be right back. There is something I need to get." Reid replied, handing Jacob down to Katie, who looked at him puzzled as well.
Reid left the parlor, both Lily and Holden following him. Nobody else noticed because most were falling asleep themselves or watching the TV. Luke sat up straight and stretched, taking Reid spot on the couch, leaning against the armrest.
"Do you know where he was going?" Katie asked him.
Luke shrugged, "Probably to get more food or something."
A few minutes later, Reid returned. He stepped over Faith and Chad and stood in front of Luke. He leaned down and kissed the younger man.
"What was that for?" Luke whispered
"I lied to you when I said we shouldn't get anything for each other." Reid replied, "I actually got you something."
"Really?" Luke smiled
"Mmhmm." Reid nodded
Suddenly the room went quiet. Luke looked around Reid and saw that the TV had been muted.
"What's going on?" he asked, looking to see everyone watching.
He turned back to Reid to find the older man had dropped down to one knee. Luke's eyes widened as Reid pulled a little black box out of pocket.
"Oh my god, Reid, are you..."
"Will you marry me?"
Luke followed Reid, hand in hand, outside onto the porch. He could not stop looking at the ring that Reid had just placed on his finger in front of his whole family. After he had said yes, the whole room lit up with cheers and screaming. Everyone was definitely awake after that. While everyone else calmed down, Reid decided to take Luke outside so they could be alone for a minute.
"I really wish you would have said you got me something, I feel a little bad."
Reid turned to him as they left the porch and were now standing in the yard. It was cold so they stepped closer to each other, wrapping their arms around each others waist. Reid leaned in and kissed him before pulling away, a smile on his own lips.
"You did give me something. You." he told him, "By saying yes. And don't you dare say that I am romantic or a sap."
Luke laughed, "I wasn't going to say that."
"Sure you weren't." Reid rolled his eyes.
"Okay, maybe I was going to. But you are. I mean, asking me in front of my whole family, who all knew you were going to?"
"Just your parents. I asked their permission first."
"Really?" Luke's eyes widened, "When?"
"Around Thanksgiving. They were the only ones that knew. Other then Emma because she was in the room when I asked them."
"How did they react?"
"Holden pulled me into a hug and Lily cried. I didn't know if she was crying because she was happy or because she was finally losing the dream of you dumping me to get back with Mayer."
Luke laughed, "Well, apparently it was happy tears."
"Yup."
They stayed wrapped up in each other, standing in the yard for another ten minutes before they decided that they wanted to head home to be alone. They walked back into the house to say goodnight to everyone, who most congratulated them once again before they left. They promised to be there in the morning around breakfast so they could watch everyone open their presents.
As soon as they were in the door of their apartment, they were attacking each other to see who could remove the others clothes the fastest. Reid of course won as they reached the bedroom and pushed Luke onto his back before removing the last piece of clothing that Luke was not able to get rid of off his body. He then climbed onto the bed, hovering over Luke just like he did earlier that day.
