Drabble: Christmas Suprises #2
Fandom: Twilight
Pairing: Jasper/Seth, Jasper/Alice
Prompt: “Christmases When You Were Mine” by Taylor Swift
Previous: Christmas Surprises #1
Jasper sat on the couch in the living room, a book open in his hands but he hadn’t been paying attention to the words for over an hour. His gaze was actually fixed on the window, though he didn’t see the snow that fell lightly on the other side either. His thoughts were far away from the book in his hands or the snow falling here.
He was thinking about a certain sixteen year old wolf in La Push, all the way on the other side of the country. Seth had been on his mind more and more lately. He had no idea if it had to do with the imprint or if it was just memories of last Christmas creeping into this one.
Before Seth had come into his life he hadn’t given Christmas much thought. Of course, now they had Lilliana and the twin to spoil… he would still rather be where he had been the previous year. A small smile came to Jasper’s lips as he remembered Seth blushing and being nervous about inviting him over for Christmas.
-x-
The previous Christmas…
“You want to ask me something Seth?” Jasper questioned. There had been one interruption after another since Seth had mentioned needing to ask him something earlier. He watched as a light blush rose to Seth’s cheeks. A nervous flutter brushed over his senses and he raised an eyebrow. “Seth?"
“It’s nothing really. I doubt you’ll want to anyway. It’s just with this being the last Christmas you’ll be here… we go out to find a tree, decorate it, tell stories, eat and open presents in the morning… I told my mom it wasn’t something you would like but she insisted. I know you won’t be comfortable around so many wolves…”
“Seth.”
Those big, brown eyes looked up at him and Jasper felt the wall he had built around his heart give away just a little bit. He was sure, wherever Alice was in the house, that she was smiling.
“Would you like to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with us at our house?” Seth asked. “It’s okay if you say no!”
Jasper smiled. “Seth, I would be honored to spend Christmas Eve and morning with your family.” The smile that Seth gave him was blinding and the hug that followed made that wall give just a bit more. When Seth left a few minutes later to go on patrol, Alice appeared at his side.
“We need to go shopping,” she stated.
“Shopping?”
“You have to have presents for at least Seth, Lilli and the twins.” That… made sense.
The next evening, Jasper parked his truck outside the Clearwater house and started to get the bags of presents out. The window blew snowflakes and the scent of Sam into his truck. Jasper stiffened and slowly turned.
Sam stood at the edge of the porch; his hands were tucked into the pocket in the front of his hoody. His eyes were fixed on Jasper and for a few moments they just stared at each other. Sam moved first, removing his hands from the pocket. “Need some help?” He questioned.
Jasper blinked but then nodded and handed Sam two of the bags of presents, getting the other two himself. “Thank you Sam.”
“Just making your leaving as easy as possible,” Sam replied before opening the door to go into the house. Jasper followed Sam inside. He didn’t know how he was going to make leaving easy… he could feel how attached Seth was to him. No matter what he did, Seth was going to hurt when he left.
“Hi Jazz!” Seth appeared, taking the bag of presents from him to put them in the corner with the others that had been brought. They would put them under the tree once they went out to get it. “You didn’t have to bring presents.”
“Didn’t feel right not to,” Jasper replied with a shrug.
“We were just heading out to find the tree, want to come?”
“Sure.”
Seth nodded and disappeared into the kitchen for a moment. “Mom, we’re headed out to get the tree.”
“I’ll have the pot of water ready,” Sue said. She turned, catching Seth with a piece of turkey in his mouth. “Quit nibbling!” Seth grinned, kissed her cheek before heading back out.
Emmett grabbed Seth and pulled him into a headlock. “Emmett! Lemme go!”
“Say uncle!”
“We gotta go get the tree!”
“Say uncle!”
“Uncle!” Emmett laughed as he let Seth go and then headed out the door to go on the tree quest. Seth shook his head as he looked at Jasper. “Your brother is annoying.”
Jasper laughed. “Your brother too,” he reminded him. “Let’s go find the perfect tree.”
An hour later they returned with what Seth called “the perfect Christmas tree”. Jasper had no idea so many things went into finding the perfect tree, but he had to admit… the tree did look pretty sitting in the corner of the room covered in multicolored lights. Emmett and Leah were putting ornaments on the tree while Seth sat with Lilliana and the twins, helping… well, making, their own ornaments for the tree. It was a cute scene, one that had him smiling.
Seth looked up at him. “Want to make one Jazz?”
Jasper blinked. He came closer, looking at the clothespin that Caleb was gumming on. “What are you attempting to do?”
Seth laughed as he took the clothespin from the baby. “We put goggley eyes, a red nose and a name necklace on them. We make one for each baby when they’re a year old. Leah and I both have one.” Jasper looked up at the tree and Leah pointed the clothespin reindeer out to him. “C’mon, we’ll make you one, have a seat.”
Sitting on the other side of the table from Seth, Jasper took a clothespin from the bag and looked at it for a moment before looking back at Seth. The younger picked up a set of the goggley eyes, put a dot of glue on the clothespin and stuck them on. A red nose and ribbon followed the eyes; lastly a small wooden necklace on a swirly wire was placed in the hole of the clothespin. Jasper took the black pen from Seth and wrote his name on the necklace. Without really thinking, Jasper stood and hung his reindeer on the tree…next to Seth’s.
That night, Jasper sat with his back against the headboard of Seth’s bed, Seth curled up at his side. Jasper carded his fingers through Seth’s hair idly. He didn’t think anything of sitting with Seth while he slept like this. Seth had shared his and Alice’s bed numerous times when he stayed over at the Cullen’s. Alice thought it was cute.
-x-
“Alice, take down that mistletoe,” Jasper said with a sigh.
“You need to cheer up, maybe a little kiss would make that happen,” Alice replied leaving the mistletoe where she had hung it. Jasper sighed. He wanted to be happy, he really did… it was hard being unhappy when Lilliana and the twins were so excited about Christmas and their presents but somehow, he was still sad and lonely.
Jasper closed his book, standing to go look out the window that looked out at the snow covered woods. Seth was probably stealing food from his mother’s cooking, Quil and Embry were running late as always and in the presents under the tree was a sweater that Seth had gotten for his mother. Car lights reflected on the snow and trees then faded as the car was turned off.
After a moment the front door opened. “Merry Christmas everyone!”
Jasper whirled around, his eyes wide. There was an excited squeal and Lilliana ran from the kitchen and into Seth’s arms. “Un’le Seth!”
