A/N: I know I got a lot of reviews from a lot of people since my last update, but as of right now it's like...10:30 and I was told to go to bed at... 9:30, so you can see why I'm worried about getting caught. Thank you for all of your reviews, putting me on alert, favoriting me, yadda yadda yadda, I know you only love me for my body...Slash! I mean slash! Anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Tyler chewed on the inside of his mouth subconciously, knowing it was a habit that irritated Reid to no end.

"Hurting yourself is not healthy behavior." He once said seriously.

Tyler couldn't help it. He'd chewed his lip when he was stressed or nervous since he could remember. He was pretty sure it was since he'd had teeth, the habit was so ingrained.

As for the cause of his stress...Well he only had one day to Christmas and he still had nothing for Reid. But what the hell are you supposed to buy for the boyfriend that seems to have everything he wants?

He was about to resort to slamming his head on his desk when he remembered something Reid said he'd wanted, after a bit of prying on Tyler's part and a wicked red blush on Reid's part. Tyler smiled and congratulated himself as he climed into his over-sized vehicle and slowly drove away from his home.

Santa is coming tonight

And I want a car, and I want a life

And I want a first class trip to Hawaii.

I want a lifetime supply

Of Skittles and Slurpies and Eskimo Pies

I want a DVD,

A big screen TV.

Just bring me things that I don't need.

Tyler scanned the massive store, not seeing what he was looking for.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" A girl with slightly crooked teeth and blindingly red hair asked.

"I'm looking for something Egyptian. What do you have in that department, Alice?" Tyler asked her, taking note of her nametag.

"I think I know what you're looking for." She smiled.

"And it comes with all the paperwork, right?" Tyler asked a few minutes later.

"Of course. Everything here is certified by one group or another." Alice assured him.

"Are there any suggestions as to what might make this thing last a little longer?" Tyler asked, eyes roaming the store.

"If you'll follow me..." She smiled again.

'Cause now it's Christmas

And I want everything

I just can't wait.

Christmas

So don't stop spending

I want a million gifts that's right.

Don't forget my Christmas list tonight.

'Cause now it's Christmas

Halfway across town, Reid was looking for the perfect gift for Tyler.

"Did he say he liked the red or the blue better?" Reid muttered to himself.

Tyler was so good to him and here he was, having a hard time remembering which color the brunette preferred.

Reid closed his eyes for a moment before reopening them and continuing his internal battle. He knew Tyler was going to freak out at the gift he was buying, but that was to be expected. Hell, their first Valentine's day together, the brunette was shocked when Reid bought him a dozen roses!

But back to the matter at hand...

Reid very nearly gave up when something else, something a little more conservative and descreete caught his eye...

Somebody take me away

Or give me a time machine

To take me straight to midnight,

I'll be alright.

Tyler carefully arranged everything, making sure it was all in place for when Reid got home so nothing would look suspicous. He closed his eyes and flopped back on to the couch. He knew Reid was going to have a very...Unique...Reaction to the whole ordeal. In order:

(1) Stare at Tyler like he had a third arm coming out of his face.

(2) Demand to know what the hell he was thinking.

(3) Ask Tyler what the hell was going through his mind at the time of the purchase.

(4) Thuroughly enjoy is gift.

Tyler smiled to himself. It wasn't very often he was able to surprise Reid. Most times he was the one getting surprised. Not this time.

'The tables have turned.' Tyler thought to himself with a slightly evil grin.

I want a girl in my bed

Who knows what to do

A PlayStation 2

I want a shopping spree

In New York City

Just bring me things that I don't need

Reid cursed himself softly when he pulled up to Tyler's house where they would be spending Christmas together for the first time.

Sure it wasn't the first Christmas that they'd been dating for, that was three years ago! No. This was the first Christmas they'd spent together. Without Reid in Canada visiting relatives that hated him, without Tyler in Colorado trying to break his wrist on a snowboard so the pain in his arm would cancel the pain in his heart with Reid being half a continent away...This was a truly special Christmas for both of them.

Reid put his car in park and took a few deep breaths, trying to convince himself that he would be able to slip the gift past Tyler without the brunette knowing.

He opened the front door and was greeted by the smell of warm cookies wafting through the small house.

Caught off-guard, were we? Tyler decided to buy his own place away from his parents where he could live with Reid in peace. It was a small place, but neither of them cared. Their family mannors were too large and always left you feeling alone because you could go all day without seeing another living soul in the place.

"And what did I do to deserve the honor of you baking your famous sugar cookies?" Reid asked with a gentle smile.

"Nothing really. Christmas is tomorrow and I'm in a giving mood." Tyler replied.

Reid nodded and walked off towards the only bedroom in the house where he proceeded to hide his gift in a filing cabinet. Tyler would never know...

'Cause now it's Christmas

And I want everything

I just can't wait.

Christmas

So don't stop spending

I want a million gifts that's right.

Don't forget my Christmas list tonight.

'Cause now it's Christmas

Tyler woke up at three in the morning Christmas morning, knowing he'd have to do quite a bit of sneaking to make sure his present would acheive maximum effectiveness when it came to shock factor.

He knew exactly how to sneak away without Reid knowing. He simply put his car in neutral and let it roll down the driveway until he was sure it was far enough away for him to drive off without the blond knowing. Sure he could've Used, but Reid would've felt it and then surprise over and Tyler's left with a semi-permenant sad face.

His drive to Caleb's house was nerve wracking. He had no idea if Reid had somehow been awakened and his surprise was ruined. He found himself chewing on the inside of his mouth again.

"Thanks for holding on to all this for me. I know you didn't want to, but I had no where to hide everything without Reid noticing." Tyler admitted sheepishly.

"No problem. You would've done the same for me." Caleb smiled.

When Tyler arrived home, he had just enough time to set up his little show before Reid walked out of their bedroom.

"Merry Christmas." Tyler said softly.

Reid opened and closed his mouth soundlessly a few times before speaking gibberish.

"Tyler...What...But...And..." Reid couldn't form a coherent sentance.

"This is the only thing I could think of that you wanted." Tyler admitted.

Reid walked over to where Tyler was sitting and gently plucked the little lump of silver and black fur from the brunette's lap.

"You actually bought me an Egyptian Mau?" Reid almost squeaked.

"Yep. Her name's Isis." Tyler smiled proudly.

Sure enough, on little black collar was a gold medallion declaring her name and their address and phone number on one side and an engraving of the famous (or infamous) Egyptian goddess on the other.

"She's such a cute little kitty!" Reid cried, snuggling his face against the soft fur.

Reid carried the kitten into the bedroom, returning before Tyler's 'he-forgot-about-me' syndrome could start. Reid handed Tyler a little box and told him to open it.

"Reid...It's..." Tyler couldn't finish.

It was a silver ring with Russian letters wrapping around it. Tyler once admitted that he taught himself to read, write and speak Russian because he fell in love with the culture and country in eighth grade world history.

"Love is not an emotion, Love is everything." Tyler read the words as though he lived in Russia his entire life.

"Oh God Reid. You're such a sentimental fool." Tyler said playfully as he swatted a stray tear away.

Reid gave Tyler a quick kiss before Isis tried jumping out of his arms so she could play with a shiny piece of tinsel she spotted on the ground.

I wish I could take this day

And make it last forever.

And no matter what I get

I want more

It's Christmas and I want everything

I just can't wait

It's Christmas and I want everything now.

Christmas

And I want everything

I just can't wait

Christmas

So don't stop spending, I

Want a million gifts

That's right

And I can't wait til midnight

Don't forget my Christmas list tonight

'Cause now it's Christmas...

Reid smiled at his new happy family, Tyler teasing the kitten with a mouse toy, the cat eagerly chasing the purple shape, and he knew that this would be his favorite Christmas, even if he was expecting more than one gift from Tyler...But he had the most loving guy anyone could ask for and they had their baby, Isis, and that was all they needed.

"God bless us, every one." Reid said in his "Little Timmy Down The Street" voice.

"Well if God doesn't bless us, I don't know who will." Tyler laughed.

Reid chuckled along with him and decided spending Christmas day with Tyler and Isis was plenty.
