“Hyung where are you?” Jeongguk asks as Yoongi picks up the FaceTime call.
“ Oh I’m ubering to my family’s house ,” Yoongi replies, smile on his face.
It was their first Christmas as a couple, but having to spend it apart; Yoongi living in Seoul and Jeongguk still living in Busan. He’d wanted to go visit, but his family was adamant he stay in town for Christmas. It wasn’t that they disliked that Jeongguk was dating an alpha that lived on the other side of the country, but they wanted one last Christmas with him before he moved away, which was the plan the next year.
“We could’ve waited until later.”
“ Nonsense. I want to see you open your present. ” Yoongi says matter of factly. It’s the night before Christmas Eve; Christmas Eve Eve as Jeongguk calls it.
“I told you you didn’t have to get me anything,” Jeongguk looks to his Christmas tree where Yoongi’s carefully wrapped package currently sits beneath it.
“ I wanted to, now please go get it and open it. ” Yoongi says ever so patiently. Jeongguk feels guilty. Sure, he bought Yoongi a present as well despite him insisting he didn’t need anything but he hated Yoongi spending his money on him.
Jeongguk sighs, getting up and walking towards his tree out of the view of the camera, currently propped up on his coffee table.
“Hyung why is it heavy?” Jeongguk asks as he lugs it back to the couch. It wasn’t that heavy but it was heavy for the size of the package.
“ Youl’ll have to open it and see .” Yoongi’s eyes are bright, a look Jeongguk loves to see on him. The look of pure joy.
“Why don’t you open yours first?”
“ I don’t want to open it in the car. I’ll open it when I get there. ” Jeongguk bites at his bottom lip, suddenly nervous about what Yoongi might think about his present. “ Come on, bun. Open your gift. ”
“Okay, okay. Did you wrap this yourself?” Jeongguk looks down at the perfect ribbon wrapped around the perfectly wrapped gift.
“ I did. Are you shocked? ” He hears a laughter in Yoongi’s tone.
“I don’t want to open it, it’s so pretty.” It was elegant gold ribbon wrapped around dark red wrapping paper. Jeongguk considered his wrapping neat but this, this was something else.
“ It’s made to be opened .”
“I know but–” Jeongguk pulls at one of the ties on the bow, releasing the knot. He pulls at the ribbon, carefully removing it from the box.
“ Jeongguk, just tear into it, ” Yoongi laughs.
“I’m not a monster, hyung!” He carefully pulls up the sides of the wrapping paper, wanting to save it, feeling extremely sentimental about his first Christmas gift from Yoongi. Once he manages to get off all the wrapping paper revealing a plain cardboard box, he folds it carefully before placing it to the side.
“ You are ridiculous, ” but there’s nothing but love in Yoongi’s tone.
“I am not,” Jeongguk sticks his tongue out at his phone, attention back on the box. He tears at the tape keeping the flaps down.
“ That is impressive. And hot, ” Yoongi licks his lips at Jeongguk looks up with a smile.
“Shut up,” he can feel his cheeks heating up from the compliment. He opens the flaps of the box, revealing a fluffy gray blanket. “You got me a blanket? Why is it so heavy then?”
He places the box to the side and when he picks up the blanket he realizes then it’s a weighted blanket.
“Hyung, I’ve always wanted one of these!” He grabs onto it with both hands, looking back at his phone. He immediately wraps it around him, enjoying the weight on his shoulders and against his back. It’s then he inhales and is hit with the scent of rain, his favorite scent in the world. “You scented it for me?”
He can feel his eyes welling with tears. It’s such a simple gift but it means everything to him. Having one more item in his nest that smells like his alpha that he misses so much.
“ I just got here, Guk-ah. Let me call you back okay? ” Yoongi says as he notices the car has come to a stop.
“Okay, talk to you in a little bit hyung.” Jeongguk gives a wave from where he’s currently cocooning himself in his blanket and watches as the phone screen goes to black.
He brings it up to his face, inhaling the scent again. It pulls at his heart, missing the scent so much, missing Yoongi so much. He’s burrows down on his couch, pulling the blanket up around his head so only his face can be seen when there’s a knock at his door. Who could possibly be at his door on Christmas Eve Eve at this time of night?
Jeongguk sighs as he gets up, shuffling across the room towards the front door as the person knocks again. It’s light, doesn’t sound urgent which confuses Jeongguk even more. He wasn’t expecting anyone, not even his family because he was going to their house tomorrow.
He peeps through the peephole and almost falls over.
“Hyung!” he yells, throwing the blanket to the ground, unlocking the door and pulling it open. It stops after only a few inches, Jeongguk having forgotten to undo the chain lock. He huffs, as he closes the door again, throwing the chain down and pulling the door open. He rushes forward, wrapping his arms around Yoongi’s shoulders as he nuzzles into his neck. “What are you doing here?” he says into his skin.
“Surprise,” Yoongi wraps his arms around Jeongguk’s waist.
“You said you were going to see your family!” Jeongguk pulls back, bringing one hand to Yoongi’s face.
“You are my family, Jeongguk,” Yoongi leans down, bringing their lips together in a soft kiss.
“I’ve missed you so much,” Jeongguk peppers his face in kisses, starting with his cheeks.
“Can I come in?” Yoongi gets out through his laughter.
“Right, yes. Yes, come in.” Jeongguk moves and allows Yoongi to enter.
“Already on the floor?” Yoongi leans down and picks Jeongguk’s new weighted blanket off the floor.
“I was excited to see you. Come on, come in.” Jeongguk grabs at his hand as Yoongi slips off his shoes. Yoongi follows, blanket in hand towards Jeongguk’s couch.
“This is a nice place, bun,” Yoongi takes in his surroundings which makes Jeongguk nervous. He wished he’d known Yoongi was coming, he would’ve cleaned up. He wasn’t messy per se but his apartment wasn’t as clean as he’d like, being on vacation has made him a tad bit lazy if he’s being honest.
“I can’t believe you’re here,” Jeongguk says as he watches Yoongi sit on the couch, placing the blanket and his bag beside him.
“I wanted to surprise you for Christmas,” he can see Yoongi’s cheeks begin to pink.
“Best Christmas present anyone has ever gotten me.” Jeongguk comes up and straddles him, pulling him in for another kiss.
“So you’re happy to see me?” Yoongi pulls back, eyes searching Jeongguk’s.
“So happy,” he brings his hand up, running his fingers through Yoongi’s hair. “Did you bring your present?”
“You’re the only present I need.”
“Don’t be so corny, did you bring it?” Jeongguk playfully slaps him in the chest.
“It’s in my bag.” Jeongguk pulls back and allows Yoongi to reach next to him.
“I get to watch you open it in person,” Jeongguk claps, trying to hide his nervousness. It makes Yoongi chuckle. He pulls out the small box Jeongguk had wrapped and mailed to him weeks ago.
“Do you want me to open it now?” Yoongi asks, wiggling the small box currently between his fingers. Jeongguk nods, and Yoongi mirrors him.
Yoongi pulls the ribbon off and tears into the paper, much like he’d tried to get Jeongguk to do earlier.
“Typical alpha,” Jeongguk scoffs, laughter in his tone.
Yoongi opens the box, and his gaze stays on the simple silver chain that lays in it.
“Do you like it?” Jeongguk bites his bottom lip as he asks, butterflies in his stomach.
“Jeongguk, it’s beautiful,” Yoongi takes it out delicately, holding it up in front of him. “What does that say?” he squints towards where the clasp is.
“JK,” Jeongguk preens.
“Bun, I love it.” He looks up, and his eyes are bright again. He brings up the hand not currently holding onto the bracelet and pulls Jeongguk in for a quick kiss. “Help me put it on?”
Jeongguk nods, taking the bracelet between his fingers and gently placing it around Yoongi’s wrist.
“Do you really like your blanket?”
“I love it. It’s perfect for my nest,” Jeongguk wraps his arms around Yoongi’s shoulders, bringing their foreheads together. The blanket, Yoongi being here, this is truly Jeongguk’s favorite Christmas to date.
“Merry Christmas, Bun.”
