[ shivers a little underneath the covers when a chill disturbs his slumber, tucking himself a bit closer to caleb to leech off of his warmth. after a moment or two he cracks an eye open, shifting his gaze on over to the window when he feels like something is amiss. blinks once, twice, then slowly sits up in the bed as he gets a closer look at the outside world.

when he sees the snow that had piled up over the night and continued to litter the ground he can't help but get on his knees, smooshing his face and hands up against the glass as if he were an overexcited child. pries himself away after the tiniest of bounces on the bed to instead direct his attention to his sleeping companion. places a hand on his shoulder and lightly shakes. ]

Caleb. Caleb!

[ is quiet for a moment, thinking about this. then shakes his head, making up his mind. ]

I will not go when team need me. Do not go if Nathan do not know.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ also grows quiet, thinking. pulls back slightly to look him in the eye properly. ]

But you can. If you wanted to. [ another pause. ] You could also stay.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

I know. [ reaches up to brush the back of a hand against nathan's cheek briefly. ] But team is here now. Nathan is here. So I stay.

[ looks hopeful yet cautious as he murmurs. ]

Really...?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Really. I promise.

[ looks down and scrubs at his eyes a little, sniffing a few times as he works through many emotions. ]

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ & then he looks up, a bright smile in place. tugs a little on caleb's shirt, not bothering to hide his childish excitement. ]

You made the right choice! I'll be good. I'll even do the laundry, or whatever else you want!

[ lets him have that moment, not commenting on the tears. grins instead, shaking his head fondly. ]

Nein. Nathan be Nathan, and that is good.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ slight pause. ]

But, erm. Help with cleaning--?!

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ raises a determined fist, smile still in place. ]

That's right!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ mirrors the fist. ]

Ja! Point for team! Nathan and Caleb team!

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ reaches up after that to put his arms around caleb's neck, unable to stop himself from giving him an enthusiastic hug. ]

Ja!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ hugs back tightly. resting his forehead on nathan's shoulder, he noses at the side of nathan's neck, murmuring quietly. ]

I like this Christmas. Danke.

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ a softer smile crosses his lips, pushing the side of his face into caleb's hair. speaks quietly as well. ]

Mm. It's... the best Christmas.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ holds him closer as he silently pushes aside some thoughts. ]

Have more. Nathan have more good Christmas.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

I will. [ sticks his nose up in the air a little, keeping their position firm. ] Santa still hasn't given me my gift, after all.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ is silent for a moment. ]

Erm. . . But Santa. . .

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ blinks, tilting his head slightly towards caleb. ]

What about Santa?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ stares at him in a pitying manner (as pitying as he can get, anyway), then shakes his head. ]

Nein. Nothing. I like Rudolph.

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ gives him a long look. just ends up burying his face back into caleb's shoulder with a nod. ]

Rudolph's cool.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Rudolph is my Chrismas hero!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

Really? Why's that?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Rudolph work hard with Santa to give present!

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ hums in consideration, wiggling gently out of caleb's hold so he could sit on his heels fully again. looks down at his palm, using a finger to idly roll around the earring he was given. ]

That's true, but the other reindeer should've liked Rudolph regardless.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ puts a hand on nathan's shoulder & tugs, wanting to snuggle again. ]

Is okay. Rudolph show that he is important part of Santa team. Hard work is part of Rudolph.
