Xander walked slowly down the street. It had been another very long day, one of many and all Xander could think about was getting home, taking a nice warm shower and getting into bed with Angel and Spike. He had worked on the weekend to make up for the two days he had taken off after the demon attack, and had spent every night at David's house working on Christmas presents for the gang, sometimes not getting home until very late at night, which had not made his lovers happy at all. Xander had told them that he was doing work at David's house for extra money because he didn't want them to know about the gifts and Angel had assured him that he and Spike had plenty of money stashed away, they just didn't want Cordelia to know about it. Xander had insisted that he wanted to buy his gifts on his own and they had finally conceded with the express demand that after Christmas Xander had to take off work until after the New Year. Now Christmas was less than two weeks away and he needed to finish the gifts and pay David back for the materials he had bought to make them. Xander sighed at that thought. He was too tired to go to David's and finish up the presents tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
David had been a godsend as far as Xander was concerned. The man had come by the day after the attack to thank them once again for saving his life. They had talked for a long time and had become fast friends, bonding over their love of video games, comics and sci-fi movies. Xander was surprised to find out that David was a billionaire, having made his money in software and commodities. David had insisted that he be able to do something to thank Xander and the others for saving his life and when he had asked Xander what he wanted the most, Xander had honestly told him the one thing that was on his mind - having a real Christmas for the first time in his life. That was when David had offered the use of his house and loaned Xander the money for the materials.
Xander came out of his reverie to find that he was already at the apartment door. He pasted on his happy face, pushed his weariness to the back, opened the door to the apartment and walked into complete darkness. *What the hell?* He stumbled through the apartment, finding the light switch and turning it on. He almost jumped out of his skin when he heard voices yelling, "Surprise!" Xander whirled around and saw his family standing in front of a large Christmas tree. It was bigger than the one from before, almost touching the top of the ceiling. All thoughts of being tired fled his mind as he stood in happy surprise, taking in the sight before him. All of his friends including David, Lorne, Clem, Harmony and Clarence were standing around the tree with Spike and Angel. Xander's eyes misted at the sight and he smiled a wobbly smile.
"Guys, this is...this is....oh, wow," is all Xander could manage to get out before Spike and Angel were by his side, taking his hands and pulling him towards the tree.
"Come on, pet. We've been waiting for you to get home so that we could decorate this thing," Spike told him.
"We had Cordelia go with us so that we could get the exact same decorations you had from before including these," Angel proudly held up a stocking with Xander's name on it. "There's one for each of us, including the Sunnydale crew. I think we can fit them over----" Angel's words were cut off when Xander leaped into his boyfriend's arms, giving him a long kiss. He turned and pulled Spike into the embrace, giving him a passionate kiss as well before hugging each of his friends.
"This is great. I love you guys so much...this is the best present I've ever gotten in my whole entire life," Xander was rambling as he hugged each one. "I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have friends like you....okay, Clarence, uh..."
"We're the lucky ones, Xander." Clarence said, hanging on to the boy for dear life. He had positioned himself to be the last one for a hug and was making the most of it....that is until two very jealous vampires pulled Xander away from him.
"I think that's enough of the getting lucky," Angel shot the demon a warning look, not happy in the least that Clarence had taken the opportunity to run his hands across Xander's broad shoulders before trailing them down his lean torso towards his ass. Spike was equally upset and found himself flanked by Oz and Doyle who had seen the stormy look in the vampire's blue eyes.
"This is supposed to be 'Merry Christmas, Xander' time remember?" Oz whispered, his words the only thing keeping Spike from throwing the demon out. Clarence managed a nervous smile as he pointed above his head.
"Yeah, I was being good. I could have kissed him, see mistletoe."
"Could have gotten your lips torn off too, mate," Spike growled, reaching above Clarence's head and pulling the mistletoe down.
"Come on, guys. I don't think Clarence meant anything---" Xander was trying to difuse the situation but Harmony interrupted.
"Oh, he did, too. I saw him hang that up earlier. Clarence planned this all along. I mean, you should hear him when we're at home. None of those dancers at the club are as good as Xander was...None of those dancers have the body Xander does...None of those..."
"We get the point, Harmony," Wesley told her.
"Not helping, Harm." Cordelia added, watching Angel and Spike's faces vamp out as her friend spilled her guts about Clarence's crush on Xander. "Why don't you help me in the kitchen, with the popcorn and cookies. You too, Clarence." Cordelia took their hands and led them away as Wesley shook his head.
"Harm. Such a fitting nickname for the girl."
Xander turned towards his boyfriends, rubbing his hands gently across the ridges before kissing each of them. "Put your fangs away. You know how much I love you. Only you two. There will never be anyone else for me but my vampires. And Clarence is a good guy, he's just a fan with a crush."
"He's going to end up with crushed fingers if he doesn't keep them to himself," Angel growled, pulling Xander closer before changing the subject. "Do you like your surprise, sweet boy?"
"Best surprise I've ever had. I know I don't deserve either of you loving me, but I'm so grateful that you do. I don't know how I can ever thank you." Xander's eyes teared up again and he pulled away from them, heading towards the bedroom. "Everyone can go ahead and start putting the lights and tinsel on while I take a shower." As he walked away, Angel and Spike exchanged glances.
"What was that about?" Spike asked.
"I think he's a little overwhelmed," Oz told them, knowing that his friend didn't like to cry in front of anyone. Angel and Spike nodded in understanding.
"Let's get started then," Spike said, motioning towards the decorations. Doyle, Oz and Wesley stared at him. "You don't expect us to put them on do you? Vampires don't usually celebrate Christmas."
"Then it's a good time for you to get used to it. You've got a family now and it's time you and Angel learn how to do the 'family holiday thing'." Doyle told them. Angel walked over to help, leaning over to whisper to Spike.
"If Xander's overwhelmed by this, what's he going to do when our other surprises arrive?"
"Hopefully, he'll want to shag us into next week to thank us," Spike answered, grinning at Angel as they started helping their friends. Yes, Xander was going to be very surprised indeed. *************************************************
Xander stepped out of the shower, running the towel quickly over his body and through his hair. He was excited at the thought of decorating the tree and wanted to get back out to help. He put on a pair of jeans and a red t-shirt and turned to leave the room when his eyes fell on the pictures by the bed. Xander reached down, picking up the picture of the Scoobies Willow had sent him. He thought he had cried himself out in the shower, but tears rolled down his cheeks as he rubbed his finger across the faces in the picture - Giles, Dawn, Joyce, Buffy, Tara and Willow. Willow. God, how he missed his best friend. While he was happier than he had ever been, Xander knew it wouldn't really be Christmastime until Willow was here. He jumped when he felt a cool hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Spike smiling at him.
"Miss your mates, luv?" Xander nodded his head as Spike and Angel sat down with him.
"I don't want you thinking I don't appreciate what you've done for me, cause I really do. And I'm happy...so happy that sometimes I'm afraid something will happen one day and all of this will be gone. It means so much to have friends like them," Xander nodded towards the living room, "to have both of you to love and that's enough for me but sometimes, especially during the holidays, I miss being with them - especially Willow. God, I miss Will. She's been a part of my life since forever and for a long time she was the best thing I had during Christmas...hell, during my life."
Spike placed his hand under Xander's chin, tipping the boy's head towards him. He leaned in, giving the boy a quick brush of the lips before pulling back long enough to wipe the tears from his cheek. They looked at each other for a moment before kissing again, this time with more feeling. Xander parted his lips when Spike's tongue began to trace his lower lip and the vampire gently ran his tongue along Xander's. Xander moaned, putting his hand on Spike's neck and he played with the hair along the nape of Spike's neck while the vampire did the same to him. Xander found himself being pushed back onto the bed and for a moment he let it happen, relishing the feel of Spike's body lying on top of his. Spike ground his hips into Xander's, their throbbing erections rubbing against each other, seperated by the denim they both wore. Spike was unzipping Xander's pants before the boy broke the kiss, looking up at him with kiss swollen lips and lust filled eyes.
"Spike, we can't." Xander panted. "Our friends will hear us."
"Let them." Spike placed small, feather like kisses along Xander's chin and jaw before reaching Xander's right ear. He nibbled on the lobe, smiling when Xander raised his hips to meet Spike's hand. Spike finished unzipping the pants, pulling them down with one swift jerk before palming Xander's hard shaft through his boxers. "I hate these things. Keeps me from my prize." With one swift motion, the boxers were torn from Xander's body and the boy gasped, very much aroused and annoyed at the same time.
"Spiike, remember? Friends, tree, gah, oh yes, fuck no fair teaming up on me," Xander groaned when Spike moved down his body, suckling first one nipple while playing with the other, then changing over. He traced a path down Xander's body, stopping to swirl his tongue around and in Xander's navel, the whole time his other hand was playing with Xander's balls, rubbing them gently and rolling them skillfully between his talented fingers. In the meantime, Angel had tugged Xander's t-shirt over his head and was kissing Xander senseless, his tongue doing such wondrous things to Xander's mouth. When Spike moved down to Xander's navel, Angel took up playing with Xander's nipples, rolling them in between his fingers with his free hand while the other was carding through the boy's silky wet waves.
"Our friends...oh, yeah, Angel feels so..the tree and...gah, Spike, oh my God, love your mouth on my-" Xander's mind was awash in a sea of want and desire as Angel licked and nibled along his neck and chest and Spike's cool mouth took in his cock. Xander struggled to keep his head - knowing that he didn't stand a chance against his lovers whose mouths and hands were playing him so expertly.
"They're gone. We forgot a few decorations so they went to get them," Angel explained in between kisses. "We've got plenty of time for some fun."
At those words, Xander gave himself over to his feelings. He pulled Angel in for a long, drawn out kiss while his hand slid down to the older vampire's crotch, easing open the pants, freeing Angels hard shaft so he could stroke it. Xander's other hand threaded through Spike's hair as he tried not to thrust up into the younger vampire's mouth. Spike licked up the underside of Xander's shaft, taking the head into his mouth and sucking while his hand stroked Xander's erection from base to where his mouth continued to work it's magic. Xander's back arched off the bed and he cried out with pleasure when Spike inserted a finger inside of him.
"Spike, please fuck me," Xander begged, writhing on the bed. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer with Angel still placing sensuous kisses along his face, throat and chest while Spike continued to suck Xander's cock, his finger playing inside Xander's warm channel. Xander gasped when Spike crooked his finger, hitting his sweet spot.
"Spike, stop, please, I want you in me." Spike's finger brushed his prostate again and Xander couldn't hold back any longer. He felt his balls tighten and he shot his seed into Spike's eager mouth, tremor after tremor shaking his body until he was finally sated. "So not fair. I wanted you in me, Spike. I wanted Angel's dick in my mouth, so I could taste him." Xander said with a pout.
"Who says we can't have all that and more?" Spike ripped his t-shirt off and flung it to the floor, his pants soon following. Spike lifted Xander's legs and placed them on his shoulders. His cock hardened more when he saw the angelic smile on the boy's face. *How did Xander manage to look so innocent when he was thoroughly debauched?* Angel was thinking the same thing as he licked up Xander's throat.
"You want to taste me while Spike makes you feel good?" Xander shivered with lust when he heard Angel's words. "Want me to fuck your mouth while Spike sinks his cool rod into your tight little ass and pounds you into the mattress? Is that what you want, baby?"
"Yes, fuck, that was the idea," Xander groaned, giving Angel's cock a gentle but firm tug as his eyes met Spike's. Angel rose from the bed and quickly undressed. Spike leaned over and kissed Xander until the boy was breathless. He made a straight path to the boy's cock, giving it a loving kiss before he started licking Xander's balls, paying special attention to the place between Xander's cock and balls. Spike took one last look at Xander who was once again writhing on the bed, his face flushed and his hands digging into the covers as he begged for more. Spike watched Angel straddle the boy, watched Xander eagerly take Angel's shaft into his mouth and thought he had never seen such a beautiful sight. He made his way back to Xander's body, licking around the warm, pink hole before sliding his tongue inside. Spike tongue fucked Xander for several minutes, making sure to taste every part of Xander's hot channel as he stroked Xander's cock. He was pleasantly surprised when he heard Xander's cry, muffled by Angel's cock and felt the boy tense before streams of warm cum hit his hand.
Xander had been enjoying the feel and taste of Angel's cock in his mouth when he felt Spike's tongue enter his ass. *God, the things Spike could do with his tongue*. Xander quivered with ecstasy when Spike started tongue fucking him and when the vampire hit his prostate, running over and over it with his talented tongue, Xander couldn't stop his second orgasm from washing over him. He moaned around Angel's cock, taking it deep into his throat, swallowing around it as Angel shot his cool seed into his mouth. Xander made sure to get every drop, savoring the taste of his lover as he rode out his own orgasm.
Angel had been trying not to thrust into Xander's warm mouth while the boy sucked him off like a pro. *Shit, the boy had such a talented mouth*. Xander slipped his tongue into Angel's slit, licking the pre-cum from it before taking the entire cock into his mouth, his tongue running along the underside as he bobbed his head up and down Angel's throbbing prick. Angel felt Xander moan around his shaft and he couldn't stop himself from thrusting into the boy's warmth. Xander deep throated him and when Angel felt the boy swallow around the head, he came with a shout.
"Fuck, yes, Xander such a talented boy. Suck it, baby, oh yeah!" Angel rode his orgasm out, thinking it was over until Xander placed loving licks along the underside and tip and Angel was milked dry. He withdrew from Xander's mouth and moved until he was lying beside the boy, taking Xander's mouth in a slow, sweet kiss as he tasted his essence mixed with Xander's. When they were done, Xander was panting and his eyes dilated as Spike entered him.
Spike sat up and gathered Xander's semen, rubbing it across his own aching cock while he watched Xander and Angel kiss. He parted Xander's ass cheeks and lined himself up with the waiting pink hole before plunging inside. Spike took many unneeded breaths as he tried to calm himself, knowing if he moved in the least bit he would cum right then and there. Xander tried to impale himself further on Spike's cock but the vampire placed his hands on the boy's hips, holding them against the mattress.
"Don't move, Xander or it's over before we start," Spike gasped, trying to control his emotions. He was so intent on his mission that he hadn't noticed Angel leave Xander's side to take a place behind him until he felt cool hands on his ass. He groaned when Angel put two fingers inside of him, scissoring them before adding a third. Spike heard Angel spit into his hand and knew the older vampire was going to enter him. He raised his ass in expectation, making sure to stay fully seated inside of Xander. All three of them groaned when Angel entered Spike, pushing the younger vampire further into Xander's hole.
"I'll wait till you're ready, Spike," Angel assured him, kissing the other vampire's back and shoulders lovingly while his hands came around to play with the hard pebbles on Spike's chest. After a few minutes Spike started to move and Angel matched him thrust for thrust. Spike and Angel would come to the brink of orgasm, only to stop and wait to get control before starting once again. They knew they were driving Xander crazy with desire and that's exactly what they wanted to do. They loved nothing more than watching Xander thrash beneath them, hands grabbing at anything they could find as their boy begged them to take him.
"Spike, Angel, please, please, please I need...oh shit I need...feels so fucking good....can't stand it...I need...." Xander was babbling and Angel leaned over Spike to look into Xander's brown eyes so full of love that Angel could barely ask the question he needed to ask.
"What do you need, Xander. Tell us. We'll do anything for you, our love."
"I need to come. Please let me come." Angel and Spike exchanged a glance before entering into a passionate kiss, tongues fighting for dominance, biting lips until they tasted each other's blood. Xander watched, his passion building at the sight of the two beautiful men above him. Finally, Spike turned to Xander and smiled.
"You'll never want for anything as long as you're with us, my love." Spike slowly pulled out of Xander before thrusting in hard and deep and Angel followed suit, both of them keeping perfect rhythm with each other until all of them were driven over that wonderful precipice, their voices raised together in shouts of "Fuck yes", "Feels so good" and "Don't ever stop". When their orgasms were over, Angel slid out of Spike and fell to one side, as Spike did the same with Xander. All three of them lay for a few minutes, basking in the afterglow, touching and kissing as they came back down to earth.
"That was fucking incredible," Xander managed to say just as they heard the outer door open and Cordelia's voice yelling that they were back. Angel and Spike jumped up and grabbed their nearby shirts, cleaning themselves off before getting dressed in new clothes. It took a few moments for them to realize that Xander was still lying on the bed, fully naked with a dreamy smile on his face.
"Xander, come on, our friends are back." Spike leaned over and pulled on Xander's arms but the boy just sighed.
"Don't wanna get up. Besides, I don't think my legs will hold me." Yes, they had fucked him into a big pile of Xander goo. Angel and Spike smiled fondly at Xander before cleaning him off and helping him get dressed. Xander stood on wobbly legs and tried to walk but between the hard day of work and his two vampire lovers, his legs wouldn't hold him. Spike rushed over and put his arm around Xander's waist, holding him up as they walked back into the living room. Both vampires were sure that once Xander saw the new 'decorations' he would be fine. ***************************************************
"No need asking what you three were doing while we were gone," Cordelia said, taking in the appearance of the three men in front of them. "One look says it all."
"Try having the other sense that tells you this stuff," Harmony told her, Oz, Clem and Clarence nodding their heads in agreement. She walked over to Spike, a piece of mistletoe in her hand. She dangled it over her head, smiling flirtatiously while Angel growled. "How about a kiss for old times sake, blondie bear." Xander had been staring at the floor in embarrassment but at Harmony's words, he looked up, snatching the mistletoe from her hand and glaring at her.
"Blondie bear has left the building, Harmony. He doesn't exist anymore. This is our Spike. Mine and Angel's Spike. Got it?"
"Xander's right. Besides you have Clem - don't you think this kind of behavior makes him jealous?" Angel asked.
"Oh, it doesn't bother me. We have lots of threesomes - even foursomes if Clarence wants to join us. Helps break up the monotany. And by the way - they have good taste. I wouldn't mind it if any of you decided to join us. Now where is the cheese dip?" Clem walked into the kitchen where Doyle was unloading the bags while Clarence and Harmony smiled at the three men in front of them.
"Okay, let me make something perfectly clear here," Angel gave Harmony and Clarence a dirty look, putting his arms protectively around his lovers. "While I agree the two of you have good taste, there will not be a threesome or anything else with Spike and I don't want to see anyone's hands on either Spike or Xander. If I do, I'll cut them off without any warning. Is that understood?"
"No need to get upset, Angel. The invitation was for you, too." Harmony explained, thinking that would smooth things over. Instead, it got Spike's attention. He had been enjoying watching Xander and Angel getting jealous, but when Harmony mentioned including Angel and he saw the way Clarence's eyes were lighting up at the thought of Xander and Angel joining them, all bets were off.
"Bloody hell, people, just how thick are you? None of us are interested in anyone but each other, got it?
"We're grateful for what you did back in Sunnydale and we want to be your friends, but that's it. If you two can't accept that then----" Xander started before Angel interrupted.
"You can get the fuck out of here and not come back. I've given you fair warning because we consider you friends, but the next attempt at anything like this will find you dead. That's not a threat, it's a promise."
"We understand. We're really sorry, honest, aren't we Harmony?" Clarence asked, knowing that Angel meant every word. "We didn't mean any disrespect."
"Fine. Be that way, Spike. I gave you the best bunch of months of my life next to Clem and you act like it was nothing. Well, you can say good-bye to this." Harmony cocked her hips and pointed at her ass. "You're not going to see it anymore." She turned to walk away, before she looked back at Spike, confusion on her face. "Unless you run into me somewhere and it's me walking away from you. But even then I'll probably just...you know, back away." Harmony started backing towards the door, taking Clarence with her. "Come on, Clem let's go find someone that wants to have some actual fun." She yelled at Clem before backing out the door, taking Clarence with her. Clem looked down at the cheese dip in his hand, setting it down with a sigh before looking at Spike and the others.
"Sorry about that. Harmony gets that way when she's rejected. I'll see you guys later." Clarence gave them a wave before following the others. Everyone in the room looked at each other in surprise.
"Well, that was entertaining," Oz remarked sarcastically, making everyone laugh.
"Any regrets, Spike?" Angel asked. Spike looked at Xander and Angel and smiled.
"You have got to be kidding me. Why would I want anyone else when I've got you and Xander?"
"Do you think they'll be back? I mean, not like tonight but later?" Xander asked.
"Are you regretting what we said?" Angel stared intently at the boy, who shook his head.
"No, definitely not. Gallons of not. It's just...I don't want to lose any friends...not ever again." Spike hugged his boy, knowing Xander was thinking about Buffy, Giles, Jesse and so many others. Cordelia and Oz exchanged sad glances, both of them understanding what was going on.
"I don't think you have to worry about that, Xander. Harmony was always like that, even in high school. She'd stay pissed off for a week or two and then it was all forgotten. Actually, I mean that literally. Harmony doesn't have enough brains to blow herself up with. And Clem wasn't even upset. And I don't think you could run Clarence off with a stick."
"Cordy's right. Harmony always was a drama queen," Oz added, noticing the smile that appeared on his friend's face.
"Well, now that the soap opera is over can we start trimming the tree?" Wesley asked, appearing excited at the thought. Spike and Angel nodded at the man, knowing he was as big a kid about this holiday as Xander was.
"Wait a minute. I thought you said they went out for decorations, but you've got them all," Xander was going through the things that Angel and Spike had sat out earlier.
"I didn't say decorations, I said food." Angel told him.
"You never mentioned food, Angel. You know I would have remembered that." Xander eyed his vampires suspiciously.
"Yes, he did, Xander," Spike took up for Angel. "You were too busy...uh, you had your mind..."
"You were too horny to be thinking straight." Cordelia helped out. Before Xander could say anything, they heard singing coming from outside. "Those must be the carolers we saw earlier. Lorne insisted on stopping to sing with them and he must have brought them over here."
"Oh, this should be delightful," Wesley said as Xander's face lit up.
"Carolers? I've never had carolers come to my house before. Everyone was too afraid to come around because of my da---damn, ugly house." Xander amended, running for the door. The carolers had finished the song and a single voice was heard starting the next. Everyone collided into each other when Xander came to a sudden halt.
"Xander, why did you----" Doyle stopped talking when Xander motioned for him to be quiet. Xander listened for a moment before shaking his head. The other carolers had joined in and he couldn't make out the voice any longer.
"No, no it couldn't have been...I'm just missing her, that's all. That's it. I've been thinking about her and now I'm hearing....shit, I must be going crazy."
"Xander, what are you talking about?" Angel tried to look confused while everyone else did the same.
"Nothing. It's nothing." Xander finished walking to the door and opened it, scanning the group of carolers, but the only familiar face he could make out was Lorne's. Angel, Spike and the others watched innocently as Xander stood up on tiptoe, trying to see the people in the back while pretending to listen to the strains of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". He was just about to give up when he saw a girl in the back with red hair, green eyes and ----
"Willow!" Xander forgot about everything, politely but firmly pushing his way through the group of people to get to the person he knew was his best friend. Xander never once thought that this was a case of mistaken identity - he could pick his Willow out of a crowd of thousands. It only took a few seconds for him to reach his destination but to Xander it felt like forever. His eyes misted when he stepped in front of his smiling friend and he took a moment to look at his beautiful girl before he swept her up in his arms, twirling her around as he sang, "Willow, Willow, my Will is here!" just as everyone else was singing, "Glory to the newborn king."
While the carolers finished the song, Xander's friends stood in the doorway, smiles on their faces. Angel and Spike had their arms around each other and they gave each other a squeeze, while Cordelia and Oz had tears running down their cheeks as they watched the lifelong friends hugging each other. Xander was holding Willow tightly, his head buried in her shoulder while she stroked his hair. They saw her lean into Xander and whisper something in his ear. Xander raised his head, tears on his cheeks, a smile on his face as he nodded and said something back to her. Only Oz, Angel and Spike had heard the exchange.
"God, I've missed you, Xan. Merry Christmas, sweetie. Do you know how much I love you?" Willow had asked.
"About half as much as I love you."
