Description
Carlton Lassiter wasn't a big fan of most holidays, but one he did like was Christmas, and he knew this was going to be a wonderful Christmas. Usually he was forced into going to the departments Christmas party, but not this year. It was his first year spending Christmas with Shawn, they had been dating for two years, but last year Shawn had went to visit his mother at her request. Shawn was currently eating cookies off the pan, while watching old Christmas specials on TV while Carlton set up the tree, so they could decorate it. It wasn't a real tree, those were too much hassle and Carlton didn't have enough time to sweep up fallen needles all the time.

"Alright Shawn, trees up" Carlton said and Shawn looked up before setting the cookie sheet he had been holding on the stand beside the couch and standing up.

"Our very first Christmas together" Shawn smiled, wrapping his arms around Carlton's waist, cheek resting in the space between his shoulder blades. Carlton didn't reply, only turning around in Shawn's arms and kissing him. Shawn returned the kiss, wrapping his arms around Carlton's neck.

"Come on, let's do the tree now" Carlton said, pulling away and interlacing his fingers with Shawn's. Shawn smiled, allowing himself to be pulled to where the tree was set up and the decorations were waiting.

Shawn scooted across the cushion that separated them, cuddling up to Carlton who wrapped an arm around him as they watched 'How the Grinch stole Christmas' playing out on the screen. It was nearly Christmas and as it grew closer, the happier Shawn became. He couldn't wait to wake up on Christmas morning next to Carlton. The older man’s arm still wrapped firmly around his waist, heart beating against his back, and warm breath ghosting over the back of his neck and not know in the back of his mind Carlton would have to get up in a few minutes to go to work, and he'd be left alone to sleep in a cold bed too big for just him.

"What are you smiling so big at?" Carlton asked, looking down at Shawn who had his head resting on his chest, one hand against his stomach.

"Nothing, I'm just enjoying this" Shawn replied, placing a kiss off to the side of his heart. Carlton smiled, leaning down and kissing the top of Shawn's head.

Carlton watched as Shawn skidded and slipped again as he tried to stand, falling and landing on his rear end on the ice once again. Carlton waited, watching as Shawn moved, unsteady as a new born baby deer as he tried to get his feet under him. Shawn had never been ice skating before, though he had always wanted to try it, and Carlton had decided to take Shawn.

"Lassie, some help here" Shawn said, waving his hand in the air, sitting on the ice, knees bent. And Lassiter smiled, gliding over on his own skates and helping Shawn stand, though on wobbly knees. He held onto Shawn's green gloved incased hands, and gently guided him across the ice. Catching him every time Shawn stumbled and nearly fell, letting Shawn rest some of his waist against his chest.

"That's it, you getting it" Lassie said into Shawn's ear with a smile.

"That's because your holding me" Shawn replied, watching as his skates moved.

"Shawn, I'm going to let go now, just keep your movements slow" Carlton told him.

"What?! No, don't you dare let me go! Lassie!" Shawn shouted, arms flailing out.

"Shawn! Stop!" Lassie shouted, moving as fast as he could, trying to catch Shawn before he crashed into one the walls encircling the ring of ice.

"I don't know how" Shawn said, seconds before he crashed and landed hard on the ice.

"Are you okay?" a little blond girl asked, looking down at Shawn, sparkly pink mittened hand waving in front of his face, just as Carlton came to stop beside Shawn.

"Shawn, are you alright?" Carlton asked, Shawn groaned and opened his eyes.

"Ow" Shawn said, and Carlton shook his head, helping Shawn up.

"Let’s get you out of here" Carlton said, leading Shawn off the ice and back onto the carpet, before sitting him on a bench and removing his skates.

Shawn smiled, watching as Lassie made egg nogg while he sat on one of the high stools at the bar of their kitchen. It was apparently Carlton's grandmother's recipe, passed down to him, herself, the only one she trusted with it.

"What do you think?" Lassiter asked, setting a small glass of it down in front of him. Shawn took a small sip of it.

"Not bad" Shawn replied, Carlton smiled.

Shawn pressed the cookie cutter into the sugar cookie dough, smiling at the reindeer come out perfect, just a few more and they'd be ready to put them in the oven. They made snowmen, reindeer, trees, Santa hats, stockings, snowflakes, candy canes, and angels. Plus a few batches of gingerbread men, which was being passed out at the precinct because Shawn had made too much dough for just the two of them.

"While these ones are baking you can decorate the others" Carlton told him, placing the sheet in the oven. Shawn was only being trusted with decorating after burning a batch of cookies after getting distracted by a game on his phone.

Shawn flipped through the channels, stopping at the channel he was looking for. Carlton had promised to watch the old Christmas specials with him, and of course Carlton was late. Working on some file he had brought home. Shawn sighed and stood up, going upstairs to drag Carlton out of his 'office' though Shawn thought of it more as his man cave, since it was full of guns, and fishing stuff, even if it did have a desk.

"Lassie" Shawn said, stopping in the doorway to the room.

"Hmm?" Lassie hummed, flipping through the pages of his file.

"You promised that you'd watch TV with me" Shawn told him.

"Give me a few more minutes and I'll be down" Carlton replied.

"You always say that, and you never come down" Shawn argued.

"I'll be right down" Carlton promised.

"You promised" Shawn reminded him.

"You’re not going away until I come down are you?" Carlton asked.

"Nope" Shawn sing songed with a smile, Carlton gave a small smile in return.

"I didn't think so. Okay, I'm coming" Carlton stood up, watching as Shawn ran down the stairs, as hyper active as ever.

XXX

Carlton smiled, standing in the doorway as he watched Shawn dancing around the kitchen as he sang Christmas carols, while making dinner. It wasn't common that Shawn made dinner, and whenever he did he was always a flurry of movement. Shawn was always moving though, never able to sit still so it wasn't uncommon. Shawn spun around, jumping when he noticed Carlton standing there watching him.

"What?" Shawn asked, dropping the spatula he was singing into on the counter.

"Having fun?" Lassie asked.

"Dinner will be done soon,” Shawn told him, not answering Carlton's question.

"I'll help you finish" Carlton said, singing the last line of the song that was playing with a smile. Shawn smiled back kissing his cheek before joining in on the next song as it began.

Carlton tacked the last of the mistletoe to the doorway, smiling, every doorway of the house now had mistletoe hanging over it, except for the bedroom since Shawn was in there talking to Gus about something on his cell phone, and Carlton didn't want Shawn to notice what he was up to that soon.

"Shawn, come here" Carlton called, waiting in the doorway of the living room as he listened to Shawn's footsteps on the stairs.

"Yeah?" Shawn asked stopping in front of him, instead of answering, Carlton pulled his younger lover into a kiss.

"What was that for?" Shawn asked, Carlton smiled pointing up. Shawn looked up smiling when he saw the mistletoe. "You didn't have to put that up, you can kiss me whenever you want" Shawn told him.

"I know" Carlton replied, Shawn just laughed pulling away and headed into the kitchen to get a drink, Carlton followed behind him, kissing him again just before he was in the kitchen. Shawn gave him a confused look when he pulled away, and Carlton once again pointed up. Shawn laughed and shook his head.

"Are those hanging up all over the house?" Shawn asked.

"All but the bedroom" Carlton replied.

"Everyone thinks you’re this big meany, but your just a softie" Shawn smiled.

XXX

Carlton was woken up early Christmas morning when Shawn pounced on him. Carlton groaned knocking Shawn off and rolling over burying his face into the pillow and attempting to go back to sleep. Shawn was a giant kid at heart.

"Come on Lassie wake up, it's Christmas" Shawn said shaking him.

"Go back to sleep Shawn" Carlton grumbled.

"If you don't get up you won't get the gift I got you, and it's a good one" Shawn told him.

"Shawn, it's too early, go back to sleep" Carlton said.

"Fine, no gift for you" Shawn said, arms crossed over his chest.

"Stop pouting" Carlton told him.

"I'm not,” Shawn argued, and Carlton sighed.

"Fine I'm up" Lassie said sitting up in the bed.

"Good, I'll meet you downstairs" Shawn smiled before rushing off.

Ten minutes later Carlton walked into the living room to find Shawn sitting on the floor by the tree, holding a red sparkly wrapped gift in his hands, and Christmas music playing in the background. Shawn held the gift out smiling.

"You open yours first" Shawn told him. Carlton sat beside him taking the gift from his hands and opening it.

"Shawn" Carlton started, holding the dark brown engraved shoulder holster up.

"I didn't know what else to get you" Shawn admitted.

"No, it's great, I love it. Thank you" Carlton smiled, wrapping his arms around Shawn and kissing him.

"I'm glad you like it" Shawn smiled.

"Here, now it's your turn" Carlton said, handing Shawn a green gift bag. Inside was a green hat with 'Psych' on it in white, a t-shirt with the same, and a CD of eighties hits. Shawn hugged him, before placing the hat on his head and smiling.
