Bruce put his phone away in his jeans pocket, turning to Billy and Griffin, who sat on the couch in his living room, playing Mario Kart on the Nintendo, which was connected to the TV for the time being.

There were a few others here, but not many Bruce generally considered his friends. More acquaintances than anything.

"Hey," he heard suddenly. He turned on his heel, about shrieking when he noticed how close this weird looking dude was. "Um..h-hi." Bruce muttered.

The guy started talking about random things, and Bruce just kept nodding, not really paying much attention. "So..are you seeing anybody?" He asked, snapping Bruce back into reality.

"Um.." he paused, looking for the right words. He wasn't ashamed of being with Vance, quite the opposite actually. But if the whole town knew..

Slowly, Bruce shook his head. "No." He said, smiling somewhat awkwardly.

After that, he noticed how much closer the guy kept trying to get to him. And by then, the house had grown somewhat packed, and he had honestly lost sight of Griffin and Billy.

Bruce suddenly had an idea, "Im gonna go to the bathroom." He muttered. But when he turned to walk off, he felt a hand on his hip. "Can I go with you?" The guy smirked.

Bruce internally cringed. "What? No--" Even though Bruce had clearly expressed his distaste for the other male, he kept trying to get closer to Bruce. "Please, get off me!" Bruce whined, trying to push the man off him. "Come on..give me a chance." The guy smirked, pulling Bruce closer.

Bruce felt tears well in his eyes as he tried to shove the guy off him again, "Get off me--" "Hey, fuckface." Bruce opened his eyes just in time to see Vance slug the guy in the jaw, knocking him to the floor.

"Vance!" Bruce choked out, hugging the blonde almost immediately.

Vance stood there for a minute, glaring at the guy, before hugging Bruce back. "What happened?" Finney asked as he and Gwen stepped over the other guy's unconscious body.

"Fucking pervert," Vance grumbled, one hand on Bruce's back, the other on the back of his head while he held him close.

"That shit was fire!" Robin and Griffin suddenly said simultaneously. "Hey, I said it first!" "Umm, no you didn't?" "Quit copying me!" "Vance!" The two pouted, looking back at Vance, who rolled his eyes. "You're both morons."

efore long, the party had come to an end, and the only people left were Bruce, Vance, Finney, Robin, Griffin, Billy, Gwen and Amy, of course.

Bruce and Amy sat down beside the tree, passing the presents out.

Here's what the all got-

Finney got a telescope from Griffin, a few necklaces from Billy, a ring with 'R+F' printed on the front from Robin, and a box of large LED lights from Vance and Bruce. "LED lights?" Finney laughed a bit. Bruce shrugged, "Griffin got you the telescope, so I was kinda lost. Finney smiled, shaking his head, "Well, I still love it. Thanks."

Robin got a set of super fucking expensive boxing gloves from Vance, a locket with a picture of Finney and himself inside from Finney, with their initials printed on the outside, a few bandanas from Griffin and Billy, and a seasonal pass to the local rage room from Bruce. "Do you two just get everything together?" Robin half complained. "Obviously." Griffin and Billy said simultaneously, and Vance rolled his eyes. Bruce giggled a little.

Griffin got a few beaded bracelets from Finney, at least a year's worth of cotton candy from Robin, a scrap book with memories from the past couple weeks from Billy, and a new bike from Vance and Bruce. "Wait, seriously?" Griffin said, standing up. "Yeah." Bruce grinned, "It's in the back."

Next, Billy got two tickets to see the new FNAF movie from Finney, a cardboard cut-out of Donald Duck from Robin, a horrible phase Billy had when he was nine, which left him unamused. Following that, he got a box of Donald duck merchandise from Vance; cups, blankets, plushies, everything. Bruce and Griffin had obviously worked together to get him what they had; a hover board, which he wrecked almost immediately.

Next, it was Vance's turn and he got a pikachu bobble head from Billy, "It's for your truck!" The sandy blonde said grinning. "Uh huh. Isn't this your moms?" Billy went silent, so they just continued. Griffin got him an oddly familiar green hoodie. "Hey, isn't that Bruce's?" Finney asked suddenly. "Nope. I searched for fucking ever to find that damn hing on Amazon, just so they could match." Griffin grumbled. Next, Robin got him a box full of-- hair extensions? Vance rolled his eyes, pushing the box to the side. Finney got him something decent: a cook book, which had apparently belonged to his mother. "Ruin that, I will beat your ass." Gwen threatened, glaring at the blonde. Vance snorted, "I'd like to see you try, pipsqueak." And even though he liked doing the opposite of what he was told, he sat the book down rather gently beside him. Finally, "Alright-- this one's from Bruce." Amy said, sliding a box over to Vance.

It was nearly wrapped, with a bow on top, and Vance made sure he was gently unwrapping it. He was definitely keeping that bow. When all the wrapping was off, he took his pocket knife out, cutting down the tape that was delicately placed along the side of the box. Opening the box, he glanced at Bruce, a little confused. "Another box?" Robin laughed, peeeking over his shoulder. "Fuck off," Vance grumbled, shooing the boy off before he took the slightly smaller box out of the other, opening it. Bruce had gotten him a necklace, and a note? Vance shoved the necklace in his pocket and unfolded the note.

hen Vance finished reading it out loud, he looked at Bruce. "They're definitely making out after we leave." Griffin said bluntly.

Vance rolled his eyes, folding the note back to its previous state, sitting it in his pocket, taking his necklace out.

"Need some help?" Bruce asked. "Uhh..yeah." Vance said, handing him the necklace. While Vance held his hair up, Bruce put the necklace around his neck, clipping it at the back.

Vance let his hair fall back down, "Alright, let's get this over with." Vance said, sitting beside Bruce in the floor, hand in hand with the raven.

Amy took a bag out from under the tree and slid it to her brother, "From Gwen." Bruce sent a questioning look over at Gwen, who was smirking proudly. He reluctantly opened the bag. "Oh-- oh my God." He felt his face heat up. It was a bag, alright. Full of condoms.

He tied the bag back up, slinging it at the brunette. Gwen laughed, catching the bag, tossing it to Robin, "Here. You need it." This time, Finney's face was the one flushing in embarrassment. "Gwendolyn Madeleine Blake!" Robin narrowed his eyes at the girl, and while she was distracted, took the time to chuck the bag at her.

Vance rolled his eyes, and took a box out from under the tree, sliding it to Bruce. "Robin." Robin, who hadn't really been paying attention, looked over at Vance, "Huh? Oh."

Bruce unwrapped the messily wrapped box. "Umm.." he paused, looking at Vance, who took his pocket knife out, slicing the tape. "There." Bruce thanked him, and opened the box. "Ohh, thanks Robin." He said as he started taking out the t-shirts. There were different artists on each shirt. Lana Del Rey, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, AC/DC.

Noticing the last shirt, Vance snatched it. "Hey!" Bruce whined. "What? You have mine!" Vance chuckled. "So? Maybe I want both." Bruce said, stealing the shirt back, shoving it back in the box, moving it out of Vance's reach.

Amy took another bag out from under the tree. "From Griffin." She said, sliding it across the floor to Bruce.

Bruce peeled the tape off the top of the bag, and opened it. It was a mix of things, really. A few books, art supplies, makeup supplies. Generally things you could imagine Bruce liking. But at the bottom, there was a small piece of paper. It looked a little old.

Bruce took it out, reading what was on it.

G- who do you like :)

B- nunya :)

G- ik who u like bitch.

B- ok?? kindly fuck off, bc he is hot :P

G- HE IS NOT??

Bruce laughed at the note, and Vance couldn't help peaking over his shoulder. "Who's hot?" He muttered. Bruce groaned, glaring at Griffin, who smirked, "Yeah, Brucey. Who's hot?"

Bruce glared at the boy for an additional few seconds, "We were talking about you." He huffed, shoving everything, including the note, back into the bag, sliding it to the side.

This continued for a good 20 minutes.

Billy got him a box of chocolate with a ring and a note, which caused yet another childish argument between Vance and Billy.

Finney got him a new baseball bat, as well as box of earrings. "Earrings?" Vance asked, confused. "Yeah? Oh, wait-- you two hadn't met by the time Bruce quit wearing his earrings." Finney muttered.

"Your ears are pierced?" Vance and Robin said simultaneously. "..Yeah?" Bruce said awkwardly. "Bruce.." Billy said, sniffling a little. "Billy." Vance warned. Billy sniffled a little, closing his eyes.  "Bruce, will you marry me-- ack!" Billy whined, rubbing the back of his head, where Griffin had smacked him. "Ask him again. I dare you." Griffin said, glaring at the sandy blonde.

Once Billy had muttered yet another apology, they continued.

"From me and Vance." Amy said, tossing a box to Bruce. "You and Vance? But when–" Vance laughed a little. "Don't worry bout it. Just open it." Bruce gave the two a questioning look before unwrapping the box. It wasn't taped, thank God.

He opened it, and if he wasn't so young, probably would have had a heart attack on the spot. Two plane tickets? He looked over at Amy, then back at Vance. "Care to spend the summer in Paris?" Vance said, smiling.

All jaws, except Amy's and Vance's, dropped. All eyes were now on Bruce.

Vance would never admit it, but he was super nervous. After all, those plane tickets were pretty expensive..

"Yes," Bruce said suddenly. "Yes! Of course!" Vance let out a deep breath, laughing a little. "Thank God."
