Ok so my original plan was to finish this fic them post a two part Christmas shot thing, obvs that didn't happen and the second part of this isn't even done. But this can stand alone just fine and is totally based on Christmas Maximus :D
Kasey's face was flushed pink from the cold and the girl was bouncing on the heels of her feet in excitement. Max smiled down at his girlfriend and felt excited as well. He was more nervous if he was honest though. It was their first Christmas together and they were spending the first part of their break until Christmas day with Max and his dad. While the other half of their break until New Years was to be spent with Kasey and her family. The couple was excited to be spending their time together and with their families, but each was nervous for their own accord.
"I'm gonna go give Dad a call, stay here." Max said setting down their bags.
"Okay! Hurry though, the train might come!" Kasey replied smiling brightly and still bouncing in her excitement.
Max made his way over to the lone telephone pole and went to call Goofy.
"Hello?" Goofy chimed on the other line.
"Hey Dad, it's me-"
Max was cut off by his Dad loudly proclaiming "Maxie!"
He flinched slightly before correcting his dad. "Max Dad, look, I need to talk to you."
Goofy laughed and asked, "How's the weather up there?"
"It's cold." He dryly remarked. "Dad, this is important!" he stressed.
"You wearing the scarf I knitted for you?" Goofy probed.
Max felt around his body before pulling out the messily stitched and mixed pattern scarf. "Yeah Dad, every day. Listen, remember I told you about how I'm bringing Kasey home for Christmas?"
Goofy paused in thought, "Uh, this Christmas?" he asked.
Max leaned on the phone's stand groaning before replying, "Yes Dad, Kasey Remember?"
Goofy made an affirming noise.
"And I wanna make a good impression." Max turned to look at the said girl who was buying the train tickets still bobbing on her feet. He smiled to himself, "I know she's met you and all, but she's never seen you," Max paused to find the right words, "in your natural state. So I was kinda wondering if you could kind of play it, um, you know cool." He stressed the last word.
"Ooh! Gotcha!" Goofy replied, "Don't worry son, we'll give her a Christmas she'll never forgeEEETTT-" Goofy's sentence was cut off.
Max's face fell into a knowing frown over his Dad's antics, "Ye-up. That's what I'm afraid of."
He hung up the phone and turned to see Kasey waving over to him with tickets in her hand. He smiled at her, his mood brightening significantly. All Max had to do was put faith in his dad and just enjoy his time with Kasey during the holidays.
Once the two were on the train they tried to pass the time doing different things. Napping was their first choice. Which was hard to do in the small booth they shared. Kasey stayed still with her legs tucked up under her as she leaned into the window while Max went through many different positions. It is safe to say that the two only passed an hour away napping in their equally uncomfortable positions. When the two awoke they were heavily leaning on each other with limbs in a tangled mess together. The two laughed lightly and Max readjusted himself so that Kasey could lean into his hold more comfortably. The two spent the rest of the ride like that with small chatter and a good plate of food.
Once the train pulled in their stop Max leaned over next to Kasey to look out the window. Max's face lit up as he saw his dad in a valet costume holding a sign that said Maxie, but the ie was marked through, as he stood next to a limo. His smile quickly broke though as the limo drove away to reveal his dad's yellow car that somehow got fixed after their vacation from back in the day. He still will never know how that happened. He quickly got up and grabbed his and Kasey's bags. The two came out and Goofy came to them grabbing Kasey's hand and kissing it. The act made her softly giggle. Max set down their bags giving the two a quizzical look before noticing his dad, who had grabbed their bags, and was in the process of trying to shove them in the tiny car. The luggage exploded with this and clothes rained out from the sunroof. The clothes scattered around and Max's underwear gracefully landed on his face. Kasey snorted and laughed incredibly loud at Max's expense. He pulled them off and sheepishly smiled at Kasey, his face red in embarrassment.
Once they pulled up ti the house and were parked Goofy turned to Kasey and gave her a button to press. She looked at it questioningly but pressed it anyway. The house erupted in lights in a festive design surrounding them. To the left stood a massive figure of Max dressed as Santa waving and a sign on top of the roof that read 'Welcome Kasey'. There was a massive snowman and at least two fully decorated Christmas trees on the front lawn alone. Kasey gazed up at the house in amazement and said something Max didn't quite catch as he slid down in his seat in humiliation.
By the time they got to the house the day had turned to night and they were all quite hungry. So as Goofy made dinner Max showed her his room, which was very empty, and led her back down into the living room.
"I didn't know your dad was so festive!" Kasey exclaimed giggling as the two walked down stairs.
Max almost groaned, "Me either." He mumbled.
The two walked over to the fireplace and Kasey noticed all the pictures of Max as a kid. Kasey's eyes wondered over to a picture of Max, that was clearly from high school, in a football uniform. Kasey picked it up snickering.
"You never told me you played football!" Kasey stated slightly shoving him.
Max scratched the back of his head, "It wasn't very long. Peej wanted to try out our senior year and he didn't want to do it alone."
Kasey opened her mouth to respond but was quickly replaced with her saying, "Awwww, that's adorable!"
Max gave her a curious look before turning around to see his dad holding a massive picture of Max as baby. Naked as well. His face flushed furiously as he tried in vain to get his dad to put it away and go back to cooking.
After dinner Max and Kasey sat on the couch chatting mindlessly and sipping on hot cocoa. As they were sipping Max got a hot cocoa mustache. Kasey giggled and pointed at her own face to point it out to him.
"You got a little…" She said trailing off.
Max raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You know you love it. Here just let me-" Max trailed off as well but set his drink down and pulled Kasey closer to him making her laugh loudly and push his face away as he tried to kiss her.
Goofy came up to them with a small cloth, licked it, and cleaned Max's face. He froze and quickly let go of Kasey who had moved out of the way. In Max's shock of fear and Kasey who was still smiling and trying to stifle giggles, Goofy snapped a quick picture of the two. He then gave his son a thumbs up. Max slid off of the couch to the floor in a mix of frustration and disappointment. Goofy snapped another picture.
It wasn't long after that Max picked himself up and excused himself to go stand outside. He leaned on the railing and sighed heavily.
Shortly after his dad joined him, "Oh, that Kasey!" Goofy hyucked. "She's really something. You sure know how to pick 'em Maxie!"
Max turned to his dad in his last small burst of frustration and said, "Max. It's Max all right?"
Goofy made a motion of him being cold and crossed his arms and rubbing his hands up and down them and stated, "Gwarsh! It's freezing out. Come on inside, son. We'll make cookies-"
Max tried to cut his dad off, "-Dad-"
"-and sing carols and wait for Santy-"
"Dad. Dad, please! I'm just going to take a walk." Max replied a little too harshly, grabbing his scarf from his dad.
Goofy looked on in concern.
Once Max came to the realization he may had been over reacting all night he came back to the house and saw Kasey and his dad making popcorn. Kasey noticed him and went to let him in. Max walked in but was quickly stopped by his girlfriend and his dad both kissing his checks under the mistletoe.
Suddenly the popcorn started going off and quickly filling the room. Max ran over to the popcorn machine and held his hands over the opening. The idea wasn't that good since the popcorn filled up his arms, then his shirt, then his pants. The force sent him flying up and back into the ever growing popcorn pile next to Kasey. He quickly popped back up and Kasey grasped his face in worry.
"Oh jeez! Are you alright?" she fussed at him.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm good!" he chuckled.
Goofy replicated what his son did but the force didn't stop. The popcorn quickly filled the room in a massive wave and flung out the chimney with them in tow. The trio all popped up from the thick layer of popcorn and made snow angels.
"Awesome Christmas Dad! This is great!" Max stated laughing loudly.
"Aww shucks!" Goofy replied merrily.
Kasey joined in the laughter and suddenly her laughter guided to a stop. She sat up and turned to Max with a confused look on her face.
"What kind of insurance does you dad even have to cover these kinds of issues?" Kasey stated in a semi-worried tone.
"Honestly I'm not sure, all I know is that Mickey set him up with something special." Kasey nodded to Max's response.
Before she could respond or inquire anymore Max had pulled her down on top of him into the popcorn and snowy mess. The two laughed joyously before Max captured Kasey's lips in a quick kiss. Kasey face lit up in a fierce blush and she shoved her face down into Max's shoulder to hide it. Max held her tightly and continued to laugh.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and all that jazz! Hope your Holidays are fun and I promise I will eventually finish this story!
