Blurb:
When
their families celebrate Christmas at his parents' cabin, George receives one
request from his boyfriend's little sister, Courtney—break up with her brother.
George is devastated that the cute as a button high school freshman has gone
from loving to hating him with no explanation as to why, and insecurities about
his relationship with Max rear their ugly head.
Max
tries to distract and comfort George, but Courtney becomes more hostile and
less festive by the minute, upsetting everyone in the house. George leaves to
do some last minute shopping and to give Courtney some space only to run into
his ex-boyfriend, which further complicates everything.
Sometimes
mixing Christmas with family is a toxic combination.

Interview:
First off, let me welcome Max
and George to the blog. Thanks for coming in guys.
George: No problem.
Max: Anytime.
Second, I'd like to say you make
a handsome couple.
Max: *smiles big* We do.
George: *squirms in his seat* Thanks.
Okay, let's get to the
questions!
Q1: How did you two meet?
Max: At school, CRU.
Capstone Ridge University.
George: Yeah, I was a
first year graduate student and M had just started college.
So you met through classes? Was
George your TA?
Max: Well, no and
yes. *winks*
George: *gets all flustered* M worked as lab
assistant in my lab so that's how we met. I did have him as a student, but we
were friends first!
Max: *laughs* Yes, of course we were.
George: *groans* This is why no one ever
believes us, you know?
Q2: Then how long did you two know each other before you
started dating?
George: About four
years.
Max: Yup. We didn't
get together until after I graduated with my bachelors degree and was going off
to graduate school myself.
So you were good friends for a while?
George: Best friends.
Max put up with my ways when a lot of other people couldn't.
Max: You're just
particular and like things done right the first time.
George: That doesn't
sound like praise.
What changed?
Max: I wouldn't say
things changed, more like the timing had always been off before. I had liked
Geeves on and off for years, he just didn't have a clue, and I though he was
straight—until I caught him fucking Joe in the lab. *looks at George* that was hot by the way. You were so… powerful
and hungry, taking exactly what you wanted. *shivers and sighs* But, Geeves's head was always stuck in his
research, and for a long time he was with Joe so I couldn't make a move. Geeves
devotes himself a hundred percent to whatever he's doing. I would never
interfere with that.
Joe?
George: My ex. He, uh…
he dumped me when he went to a different university for his post-doc work.
Max: *nods* Joe was an ass. He didn't know
what he had. Of course, I'm not going to complain… since George was single, I
could go after him. It took a while but I got him in the end.
George: Too bad I
didn't realize what you wanted. *looks
pained* I almost lost you.
Max: *reaches out for George's hand* We
figured it out eventually. *kisses the
back of George's hand*
Q3: So how did you end up getting together?
Max: Research trip
where we were camping. I threw caution to the wind and got Geeves to admit he
was gay. There were a few misunderstandings but in the end it worked out.
George: It did. *leans over and kisses Max on the temple* And I'm
very glad for it. M means everything to me.
Q4: Who is your closest friend? Describe them and how you
relate to them.
Max: George. He’s
kind, helps everybody out, a little dense when it comes to people, but
well-meaning. We like a lot of the same stuff. Our research, camping, hiking,
food. *wrinkles nose* But our taste in beer is definitely different.
George: Music too.
Max: *nods* And he’s
nerdier.
George: True. You
actually understand people. But you have a nasty temper sometimes.
Max: *pats George’s
shoulder* I'll work on it.
George: Max is my
closest friend. Probably because he understands me the more than anyone, gets
what’s important to me, and accepts all of me. He’s the most important
person to me, and his friendship is everything to me. I will always need M.
Max: *strangled
noise*
George: M?
Max: *waves George
off*
Q5: What's your favorite thing
to do?
Max: George. *no hesitation whatsoever*
George: *puts head down and groans* I’m pretty
sure that’s not what she meant.
Max: Well,
technically you do me, so that is misleading.
George: Yes, wait, no.
That's not… *throws hands up as Max
starts to laugh*
Max: Problem?
George: No. Next
question please?
Q6: What do you find most relaxing when you’re with your
partner?
George: Holding M,
just being able to touch him. It makes everything else fall away. I could never
get enough of it, of him.
Max: Fucking hell,
Geeves.
George: What?
Max: I love you.
George: *smiles* I love you, too.
Q7: What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually?
George: *coughs and wheezes* What?
Max: *points his thumb at George* You must
excuse him, Geeves is a bit… naïve.
George: Excuse me?
Max: Would prude be
better?
George: M!
Max: Easily
embarrassed in front of others?
George: M, please!
Max: Oh, all right,
I won't tell them about the time on the hiking trail by cam—
George: *slaps hand over Max's mouth* Ignore him.
Q8: Okay, last question, are you guys looking forward to Christmas?
Max: *pulls George's hand off* Yes, very
much, with Geeves working on his thesis and it being my first year in graduate
school, I haven't seen much of him. We're going to Anne and Tim's
house—Geeves's parents—and my family is going to meet us there.
George: It should be
fun. We're going skiing and stuff.
Max: As long as my
bratty little sister doesn't cause any problems, we'll be all right.
George: It'll be fine. She's sweet.
George: It'll be fine. She's sweet.
Max: She has you all
fooled.
George: Don't be mean.
She hasn't seen you since August. Give her a break.
Max: *huffs* Fine.
Well, George and Max, it was
nice having you. Thanks for stopping by and talking with us, enjoy your
Christmas.
George: *smiles at Max* I plan on it.
Max: Me, too.
George, Max: Have a Merry Christmas everyone.
