On christmas day, we woke to our mothers ushering us out of bed to the Christmas tree. They didn’t even give us time to get ready for the day. Flynn sat in front of the tree in his flannel pajamas, and I sat there in my underwear. I wasn’t exactly thrilled about this arrangement as I took care not to accidentally flash my mother and Linda. In a room filled with omegas, I felt out of place barely covered by the thin fabric.

“Can I at least have a pillow?” I asked as I sat there.

“Yeah sure thing.” Linda answered me as she handed me a couch pillow.

I placed it over my lap so that I wouldn’t have to worry about showing off anything and waited for our mothers to do whatever it was that they had planned.

“If you are so worried about someone seeing something why would you sleep with Fly naked?” my mother asked me.

“I’m not naked.” I corrected her.

“Might as well be.”

“Tranquila mamá.” I shushed her as Linda handed me a present.

I looked at it and slowly unwrapped it. It was a new track suit that I could use for my workouts. I made sure to thank her and pointed out a box I had placed under the tree the night before. I would have gotten up to give it to her, but with hardly anything on I was trying to move as little as possible.

I then pointed at a box for my mother to grab. While driving around for two weeks, I found a gift for each. Although I wasn’t planning on seeing my mom for Christmas I still picked her up something for when I did see her. I got Linda a new blouse that Flynn said she would love, and I got a new pair of earrings for my mother. I gave my mother earrings every year and she would wear them for a year before retiring them to her jewelry box. I could get her something else for Christmas, but I don’t think she would be happy about her little boy breaking a routine.

I got Flynn something as well, but I wanted to wait for the right moment to give it to him, and I didn’t exactly want to give it to him in front of our parents. After watching my mom and Linda unwrap their gifts, I looked at Flynn who hadn’t opened his gift from his mother.

“Aren’t you going to open your gift from your mom?” I questioned him.

He blushed, “I will later, but not right now.”

“Why not now?”

“Because I already know what it is, and I’m not opening it here.” His face got even redder as I pieced together what was wrapped.

I smirked at him, “would you like me to put that in your blue bag for you to open later?”

“Shut up.” He shoved me.

“Did you ask her for a vibrator for Christmas?”

“No! It’s just what she does.” He was almost in tears as he grew uncomfortable with the conversation, so I backed off.

I looked at my mother for help to which she quickly responded, “Here, open this one baby.”

She handed me a small package in which I opened. Inside was lube and a box of condoms. “I want grandkids, but not right now. Here’s your real gift.” She handed me another box.

“Thanks mamá.” I opened up the second box.

Inside were a couple movies I had asked for and a new game for the gaming system Flynn brought to our dorm. I looked over as Flynn opened the gift my mother gave him. Inside was a new outfit for him to wear. My mother had great taste in clothing, and I was honestly looking forward to seeing him in it.

With gifts open, our parents allowed us to go back to Flynn’s room to get dressed for the day. As we entered the room, I looked over at Flynn. He was holding the unwrapped box from his mother, making sure not to damage the wrapping paper. He quickly slid the box under his bed and out of site.

“You should wear the outfit my mom got you. It would make her happy to see you wearing it.” I said to him as I pulled out clothes for myself to wear.

“I don’t know about that.” He responded.

“Why not?”

“It’s just, she got skinny jeans, and I don’t know. I feel like they show too much.”

“Try them on. They may not be that bad.” I encouraged him.

“Okay. I’ll wear it just this one time.”

“Yes!” 

“Why are you so excited?”

“Just am.”

I slid my clothes on and stepped out of the room to allow him to dress. Although I was comfortable in just my underwear in front of Flynn, he wasn’t comfortable with me seeing him in just his. I walked back to where our parents were waiting.

As I was walking back to the living room they had me stop for a picture. They then instructed me to just stand there and wait for Flynn.

I stood there and listened to our mothers gossip about how cute a couple the two of us would be. I knew my mom was rooting for us to get together, but it was interesting to see that Linda was all for it too. It was nice to know that I had his mother’s approval.

When Flynn finally made an appearance, I was stunned. I had never seen him in anything so tight. The jeans were a dark denim that hugged his legs. It gave his rear the perfect shape but somehow still had enough room not to squish his front end. His shirt was a skin tight shirt that showed just how skinny he really was. It was a beautiful shirt with a sunset pattern and went great with his hair.

I could tell he was slightly uncomfortable in the outfit, but he was absolutely breathtaking. I took out my phone and snapped a quick picture of him.

“Get rid of that.” He demanded as he realized what I did.

“No thanks.” I stuck my tongue out.

“Fly, can you join Mal at the end of the hall for a picture.” Linda requested.

“Yes ma'am.”

He joined me in the archway of their hall and both our mothers took pictures of us together. After they were satisfied with their pictures they pointed up and said they wanted one more picture.

I looked up towards what they were pointing at and saw the mistletoe. These two bats were geniuses, but how were they going to convince Flynn to accept a kiss.

I looked down at him and noticed he was looking at me. I decided the best option was to give him no chance to think about it and went in for a kiss. I made sure it was long enough so that both our parents could get a picture. I was going to have to ask my mother to share the picture with me.

With our parents satisfied we were ushered out of the house so that they could prepare for Christmas dinner. I wasn’t sure what they expected us to do, but Flynn said he had an idea so I followed him without question.

I didn’t know what to expect, but I wasn’t expecting a park. There wasn’t much there, and we ended up sitting on the swings just talking.

“How do you feel about our moms trying to push us together?” He questioned me.

“I’m okay with it, but you already know that I like you.”

“Doesn’t it bother you? It was our parents that pushed us to room together. Don’t you feel like they’re trying to force it?”

“Maybe they are, but I honestly don’t mind. At least I’m being pushed to date such a cute man.”

He blushed in response. “Yeah, but I notice that you just do whatever your mom tells you. If we started dating, would I be able to trust that you’re doing it for yourself?”

“I don’t need my mom to tell me that I want you. I know you said you weren’t ready for a relationship, but what’s really holding you back?”

“I’m just not ready to date anyone.” He shrugged.

“I know there’s more to it, but I’ll wait until you’re ready to tell me.”

We stayed out there until the sun went down just talking about random things. Without any light, the giant Christmas tree in the center of the park lit up. It made the atmosphere feel just right to present Flynn with his gift.

At one of the malls we went to on our road trip, I caught him staring at something every time we walked by the store front, so when we left, I told him I needed to run to the bathroom real quick. I ran in and bought it without him ever knowing.

“Hey, I want to get a picture of you in front of the tree.”

“Porkie?”

I busted into laughter at the poorly pronounced por qué before answering, “I want one. Do I need another reason?”

“I guess not.” He started walking towards the tree.

He looked at me and gave me a questioning look as to why I wasn’t taking the picture already. I was going to take a picture, but first I wanted to give him his gift.

I handed him the small box and watched as he hesitantly took it from me. I was excited to see him open it. He opened it to reveal a necklace with a small heart pendant that was encrusted with diamonds.

“I can’t take this.” he said as he shoved the box back to me.

“Why not?” I questioned.

“It’s too much.”

“Nothing will ever be too much when it comes to you.” I took the necklace out of its box and moved towards Flynn. He shook his head at me, but I ignored him and put the necklace on him.

“Mal, I can’t.” He went to unclasp it, but I grabbed his hands.

“You can’t take it off now. It looks stunning on you. Now let me take that picture.” I pulled my phone out and took a few pictures of him. He was stunning the outfit my mom picked out for him in front of the beautiful christmas tree.

Then without the encouragement of our parents, I kissed him again.
