*Yahoo!*

Alright!

But next time it might not be so. [With a quick kiss, he opened the door.]

Well, I'll just have to hope next time will be so! *He followed him inside, grinning.*

I'm sure it will be, somehow. [Pulling him inside, he shut the door and stole a quick kiss.]

*He blushes but doesn't complain, just grinning wider.*

So, where's my present?

You're going to have to close your eyes. [He sounded dead serious about it.]

*Naturally, he closed his eyes.*

Eyes closed!

[Grinning to himself, he grew extremely quiet as he rummaged around. Or seemed to. Actually, it probably sounded like he wasn't doing much of anything as he did his best to remain extremely quiet.]

*He strained his ears to listen, trying to figure out what he was doing. He keeps his eyes shut as promised though.*

[Moving to stand in front of him, he waited quietly to see how long he could make him wait before Al started complaining.]

*He can't really hear anything anymore. But he's keeping his promise to keep his eyes shut!*

Did you find it?

[Al's such a good boy. He'll have to reward him for such patience.

...and the only response to the question was a silent nod.]

*He still has his eyes shut. He huffs.*

If you did find it, can I have it now?

[Finally leaning in close, he gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.]

I don't know. You didn't say please.

*He whines.*

Pleaaassee can I have it now?

I suppose so. You did ask nicely that time.

[After a quick kiss on the cheek, he took a few steps back.] Open your eyes.

[He was holding out a stuffed rabbit with a red and white bow around its neck.]

*He opened his eyes, a smile already on his face. He gasped at what he saw and quickly moved to embrace his gift and his boyfriend, squealing happily.*

AWWMATTIEABUNNY?!FORME?!THANKYOU!!

Mhmm. I took the time to stitch him together. [...so the rabbit was a bit lopsided maybe and a bit lumpy, but he had given it his best.]

*He doesn't care if it's lumpy or lopsided. It's his. And his boyfriend made it for him.*

How long did it take you? He's adorable!

[He also made him something else. Which he'll give him in a moment or two.]

Long enough. [A soft laugh accompanied his words.]

*Ooooh so many presents!*

Well I love it! *He gives the bunny and Matthew another squeeze.*

What should I name him?

[It was a nice, thought-out gift.]

I'm glad to hear that. [Smiling happily, he hugged him tightly.] I've been calling it Patch, but it's probably obvious why.

*He appreciates them!*

Patch huh? How about Patches? *He smiles up at him, giving his lips a quick kiss.*

It is a rather cute name. [He couldn't help but grin as he returned the kiss.]

I also have another present for you.

Thanks! *He looks at him, a bit surprised.*

ANOTHER present?! Really?!

Mmhmm!
