AN: Technically this chapter is based on the song 'My Only (Wish This Year)' by Britney Spears but there is another song that makes an appearance and I won't spoil what it is. Basically, all Sam wants for Christmas this year is Artie. He gets just that.

Artie was getting rather frustrated. It was close to Christmas; he was currently dating Sam and since this was going to be their first time celebrating the holiday together he wanted to get Sam something extra special. However, Sam was not making matters easy for him. Every time Artie asked him what he wanted, Sam would just say something to the extent of,

"I've got you. I don't need anything else this year."

While Artie was undeniably touched by this, he still wanted to have something to wrap up and give to Sam. He loved buying gifts for people and Sam was incredibly special to him. Sure he could get him something Star Wars related or find some collector's item from some movie on eBay, but he wanted it to be really meaningful. His boyfriend was being no help at all though, so he finally decided to take what Sam said to heart.

So he sent Sam a text and told him to meet him in the choir room the next day during lunch. He then spent the rest of the night preparing for what he was going to do.

Sam was a little confused about what Artie wanted to talk to him about and was a little confused when he entered the choir room. Artie was sitting in the middle of the room with a wrapped present sitting on his lap.

"Artie, I told you that you didn't need to get me anything," Sam began to protest.

"I know that," Artie interrupted. "Don't worry; I listened to you. Now sit and watch."

Sam obligingly sat in one of the chairs and watched Artie in curiosity. He cleared his throat and began to sing.

Hey boy I got somethin'

Real important to give you

So just sit down and listen
Boy you know we've been together such a long long time

And now I'm ready to lay it on the line

Wow, you know it's Christmas and my heart is open wide

Gonna give you something so you know what's on my mind

Sam suddenly realized that the box on Artie's lap was rather strategically placed at the same moment that he recognized the song that Artie was singing.

"Artie we're in the middle of school!" he exclaimed. "You didn't seriously –"

Artie just cracked up laughing. "Oh man, you should have seen the look on your face. That was priceless."

Sam wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to react to all of this. "You didn't actually…"

"Not quite," Artie replied, lifting the box off his lap. Sam wasn't sure if he was relieved or not to see that his pants were zipped up and nothing was showing.

"So then why were you singing that?"

"Mostly to see how you'd react," Artie replied. "But you said that all you wanted for Christmas was me. So I'm here as your present."

Sam's eyes narrowed as he glanced between the box and Artie's face. The other boy wasn't giving anything away by his expression, but Sam knew him well enough to read him. He was pretty sure he had figured out what Artie was getting at but wanted to be sure.

"We have been dating for awhile," Artie said, sounding slightly nervous. "And since you've insisted on no material presents, I am offering you myself. To do…well whatever you'd like."

It was taking Sam's brain a little to process all of this at once. Was Artie really suggesting what he thought he was suggesting? They had obviously intimate during their relationship but hadn't quite gone all the way yet. Sam hadn't lost his virginity yet and Artie had a less-than-great experience with Brittany. As he realized this, Sam felt slightly guilty. Had his insistence on no presents forced Artie to do this? When he voiced this thought though, Artie was quick to disagree.

"I had been thinking about it for awhile, and I think it's time. And you know, it fit with what you wanted for Christmas."

He had such an earnest expression on his face that Sam couldn't help lunging forward and capturing his lips in a kiss. He could feel Artie smiling against his lips and pressed himself as close as he possibly could against his boyfriend. It took some effort to reign himself in, as he had to remind himself that they were still at school in a room where anyone could walk in at any time.

"So I take it that's a yes?" Artie said with a shy smile once Sam pulled away.

"It's definitely a yes," Sam agreed. "Although I don't know what to get you now."

"I'm sure I can think of something," Artie smirked, pulling Sam in for another kiss.

If you didn't catch it, the song Artie was singing was 'Dick in a Box' by Lonely Island.
