MHA #13 - Monday Morning

[itsananomaly]

It was Christmas morning and Cutter had gotten up early to put on the finishing touches to the tree, making sure all the presents were underneath and that Rex was content with his food over in the corner of the kitchen. Rex was chirping away happily as he ate.

Cutter put on some Christmas music, he was looking forward to celebrating his and Connor’s first Christmas together.

[for the boyfriend and all the SP]

At some point, Connor had woken up to find the spot where Cutter had been lying empty. He made his way down the hallway and gave a small smile as he did.

"Hey Nick" he said with a sleepy yawn as he ran his hand through is hair. "Happy Christmas," he said with a fond smile as he walked over and kissed his boyfriend.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled warmly as he returned that kiss, “Happy Christmas Connor, I didn’t wake you did I?” he asked, noticing the sleepy yawn.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Naw you're fine. I woke up and you weren't in bed... wanted to make sure you were ok" Connor said. "Wanted to make sure I wasn't soring really bad again."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled at that, "you weren't snoring," he assured him, "I thought I'd get a head start and make sure Rex didn't try and get into the presents, luckily he seems pretty interested in his food right now," Rex chirped happily at that.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Aye that's a good boy Rex" Connor said as he looked over at Rex with grin. "You stay and eat and play with your toys. I'd rather not have to rescue you from the tree again" he said shaking his head and remembering the other day when Rex got tangled up in the lights in the as he had been exploring the Christmas tree...again.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter grinned at that, "yes that was a bit difficult wasn't it?" he said as he remembered how tangled up Rex had gotten, "he's lucky he didn't bring the whole tree down on himself,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor smiled as he watched Rex. "I'm pretty sure if we hadn't been home when it happened the tree would have come right down!" Thankfully Rex seemed to be a bit more cautious of the tree after that.

"So, I got those orders from JGOB and the Perk placed a few days ago. Should have some doughnuts and coffee coming shortly so we can have breakfast!"

[itsananomaly]

"Oh that will definitely be an amazing breakfast for us," Cutter grinned, "and then I think we can do presents or would you like to start presents now and then we can stop and have a break for breakfast?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"We got about an hour before it's scheduled so I think we can do gifts first and then be done when the food arrives" Connor said with a grin.

[itsananomaly]

"Gifts it is," Cutter smiled and went to the pile of presents under the tree and picked out Connor's first gift, "Happy Christmas Connor," he smiled as he handed him his /present.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor opened the gift and then grinned when he saw what it was. "Oh Nick, thank you this is amazing! I love it. Can't wait to get it set up on my desk- I think that will be a great place for it!" He leaned over and gave Cutter a soft kiss. "Thank you!"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled at the kiss, pleased that Connor liked his gift, "you're welcome, I thought it was something you could use while you're studying, if you need a break, its supposed to be quite relaxing,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh definitely" Connor said with an excited grin. "I think it would be perfect for a mini mind break or little meditation break while studying. Thank you!" Connor took another minute or two to look at the gift then he set it aside and went to grab a present from under the tree. He walked over and handed it to Cutter. "Hope you like your gift" he said with a grin as he watched Cutter open the gift to find a series of magazines. "Thought some new paleontology subscriptions might be good for you" he said with a sheepish smile.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter's smile widened, "oh this is fantastic," he said happily as he looked through the magazines, "thank you Connor, I'm definitely looking forward to reading these," he said and he went over to give Connor a kiss.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor returned the kiss gladly and smiled. "I'm glad you like them, and might even end up selling one or two of them for my research too."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled fondly at Connor, "you can definitely use them for your research, I can even take some notes from these magazines as well while I read them, so you have the notes ready if you need to refer back to the magazines,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor smiled as he leaned in closer to Cutter. "You are amazing Nick,m that would be great, thanks" he said then leaned closer and kissed him softly.

[itsananomaly]

"You're welcome Connor," Cutter smiled as he happily leaned into the kiss, returning the soft kiss as he did.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor happily kept the kiss going for a time as he enjoyed just being there with Cutter like this. But eventually, he did have to get a breath and he smiled at his boyfriend. "You want your other present now or after we eat?" he asked, still keeping his arms around Cutter as he smiled.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter was reluctant to break the kiss as he leaned against Connor happily, "that is a tough decision," he said, "maybe we should eat and then do the rest of the presents?" he considered, "I'm sure Rex would definitely love to get to his presents then,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Sounds like a plan. Food should be here any time now" Connor said as he gave Cutter another quick kiss then went to check on Rex real quick.

"Rex is playing in the boxes we left for him in the bedroom" he said with a grin when he returned "So I think we are safe for a little while longer as far as trying to keep him out of the presents and the tree!"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled fondly at that, "Rex is definitely going to love those boxes," he said, "so far this is shaping up to be a very nice Christmas morning indeed, I'm glad we're able to do this," he smiled at Connor.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Perfect Christmas so far, and I love being able to spend it with you Nick" Connor smiled.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Connor's smile broadened. "Breakfast is here!" He headed for the door as he looked back at Cutter. "Want to get the plates and all for us and I'll get the food and drinks and bring them over?"

[itsananomaly]

"And I love being able to spend it with you Connor," Cutter smiled back and nodded, "and I can definitely do that, I'll go get the plates now,"

He then went to the kitchen and began to get two plates out for him and Connor and put them on the table.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

After picking up the food and giving the delivery guy a nice tip, he brought everything over and looked at Cutter with a grin as he started setting it all out.

"There's two coffee drinks for each of us, one hot and one cold. Cold peppermint mocha and a hot sugar cookie latte' for us both! And I got a full dozen doughnuts so we can be as bad as we want to be with celebrating our first Christmas together!"
