Lucy

"Present time!" my aunt cheers and drags everyone into the living room. Gifts are exchanged and soon my Aunt is giving me my present.

"Ok Lucy I got you this." My aunt starts and starts to grab something when the doorbell rings.

"Oh Lucy dear could you please just answer that for me?" she asks. I nod and stand up and walk to the door. I notice my Dad is the corner on his phone and it looks like he is videoing taping it but I ignore it. I unlock the door and open it and there standing on the stoop is my brother in his army uniform with a bow on his chest. (Jace from Mortal Instruments)

"Merry Christmas Lulu." He says and I let out a sob and run into his arms. I hug Luke tightly and sob into his shoulder. I finally pull myself together enough and turn and walk back into the house.

"I'm assuming that's my gift Aunt Carol?"

"I'm glad you liked it." She smiles and takes a picture of my brother and I.

"Luke this is Logan, Carlos, Kendall, and James. Guys this is my brother Luke." I do the introductions.

"Hey." Luke gives them a wave and then whispers in my ear. "What are they doing here?"

"They are my friends and they are on tour and instead of having them sit in their hotel on Christmas I had them come here. Also um James might just be my boyfriend." I mumble the last part.

"Oh really?"

"Go easy on him tonight ok?" I plead to him.

Luke just grunts and go says hi to the rest of the family.

I go and sit back down next to James and he puts his arm around my shoulder.

"That was a really great present." He says.

"Yeah it really was. Later I want you two just to talk because if not Luke will think you don't care about his approval. I don't want that to happen." I tell him.

"I will. Um Luce I'm really sorry about this but I had no idea I would be seeing you this Christmas so I mailed you the present to get to your apartment on Christmas day. I don't have anything for you." He says sadly and breathes a shaky breath.

"James I don't even care about the present. I could care less about it. Besides you did get me a present. You. Being able to spend Christmas with you is all I could ask for." I tell him and give him a kiss.

"I still feel horrible." He responds.

"Will it make you feel better if I don't give you your present until I get mine?" I question.

James nods.

"You're such a basket case." I tease and kiss him again.

We then go up to go eat dinner.

James

A few hours later

I am walking around mingling when I see Luke going to get some more punch. I take a deep breath and walk over to him.

"Hey I'm James." I start and hold out my hand.

"Luke. So you're Lucy's boyfriend." He says and stares me down.

"Yep, dating for 9 months."

"Let's talk in the other room shall we." Luke suggests and leads me into a little sitting room.

I sit down in one chair and he sits across from me.

"Now listen here. If you even think about breaking my little sister's heart I want you to know that I will find you and beat the living daylights out of you. Now my sister seems to like you but you need to earn my liking." Luke starts and stares me down.

"I could never even think of breaking her heart." I assure Luke but his face doesn't change.

"That's what the other boy Beau said and look where that got Lucy." he tells me.

"I will tell you right now I will never turn into a Beau. I have protected Lucy from Beau and if it gives you any comfort we haven't even done it yet." I babble.

"Look Lucy has not had an easy life. She has gotten into a better place with our parents and family. I don't want you being another chip on her shoulder. She must love you a lot to introduce me to you and not have butter me up before it." He comments and looks me up and down again. "Now go back to Lucy before she thinks I am pounding your face in."

"You're not going to need to worry about me." I assure Luke before going back to the party.
