Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, nor do I completely own Nick and Jeff (although I'm pretty much creating their personalities myself since we haven't gotten to know them too well on the show).

A/n: So I just realized that this chapter means that I'm officially more than a quarter of the way done with these drabbles! I still need 22 words to complete my list, so please give me any ideas you've had!

Nick was nervous. He'd never really been in a relationship with anyone over a major present-giving holiday, and he really wasn't sure whether or not what he'd gotten Jeff was good enough. Sure, it was a great idea to fly up to Cape Cod and spend the holiday with Jeff. But that was pretty much the only truly great idea he'd had, so it was difficult for him to decide on the perfect present.

"Hi." Nick looked up as Jeff walked into the guest bedroom, smiling with one hand behind his back.

"Hi."

"So… Merry Christmas." Nick couldn't help but laugh.

"Did you seriously come in here two minutes after midnight just to say that?"

"No… I came in here because I wanted to give you your Christmas present while we were alone," Jeff replied, shutting the door. Nick sat up in the bed, gently patting the comforter next to him so that the other boy would sit down. Nick couldn't help but laugh at the stiff way Jeff moved as he walked, almost as if he was terrified to do this.

"Come on, Jeff… you can relax. It's just a Christmas present."

"It's our first Christmas presents… I want it to be special," Jeff replied as he sat down, clinging to the wrapped box like it was the most precious thing in the world. Nick leaned over and pressed a kiss against Jeff's lips.

"Hey… I'm nervous too. We should do this at the same time." Nick turned back towards the nightstand, pulling the box that held Jeff's present out of the drawer. He couldn't help but smile at the fact that the boxes they were holding were similar in size and shape. "Wouldn't it be hilarious if we got each other the same thing?"

The two boys traded boxes, each of them slowly ripping off the paper until they were down to just the little black cardboard boxes that seemed to be identical. Nick looked over at Jeff, who was looking at him. "On three?"

"One… two… three!" Both boys pulled the tops off their boxes simultaneously. Nick couldn't help but laugh as he pulled out the gold claddagh ring.

"You hate it…" Jeff began.

"No, Jeff, I love it… of course I love it, I bought you the exact same ring!" Nick protested, immediately slipping his ring onto his right hand, turning the heart towards the palm of his hand. "I was afraid that you were going to hate it… or that you were going to think it was too early for something like that…" Nick leaned in and pressed a kiss against Jeff's cheek. "Are you going to put yours on? Or do you not like it?"

"I love it," Jeff replied, smiling. "I just… I was so worried that you were going to hate your ring, and then you laughed and…"

"I only laughed because it was funny that we'd gotten each other the exact same present… great minds, you know…"
