The ironic choice of “Let it Snow” wasn’t lost on Brayden as he looked at the forecast and realized the team christmas party was quickly being turned into another installment of “Sleepover at Dad’s”. He made Flak give the announcement so he had more time to set things up in the basement. Brayden also really didn’t want to deal with Jake’s schenanagains and for some reason Jake actually listened to Justin.
A hand on his shoulder alerted him to Cam’s presence. Brayden turned and pulled his defenseman into a hug, kissing his forehead.
“Thought you’d be down here. You doing okay?” Cam asked as he leaned into Brayden.
“We’re snowed in. Everyone’s staying the night.” He replied, sitting on the couch so he could pull his boyfriend into his lap.
“That’s what Flak said.” Cam kissed him gently, a quiet reminder of his love. “The russians seem overjoyed about that. Logan and Tucks are off in a closet somewhere, and I think Rou is trying to figure out how to be touching all his boyfriends at once.” Brayden smiled.
“Figures. What’s Jake up to?” Brayden leaned back as he spoke, wanting to feel Cam’s weight on top of him completely.
“Making out with Hof. I don’t think either of them even heard Flak.” Cam chuckled. “By the way, since when are Sunny, Buch and Mojo a thing?”
“No idea. Sunny and Buch since about two weeks ago. No clue when Mojo joined.” Brayden answered, pulling Cam infinately closer.
“Mh. I thought Buch was aroace?” Cam asked softly, nuzzling into the crook of Brayden’s neck.
“He’s definitely ace, not that he’s even aware of what that is. Torps thinks he’s arospec but who knows with Buch.” Brayden replied as he carded through Cam’s hair. “I love you so much.”
“Love you more.” Cam smiled as he kissed Brayden again.

Dylan loved team anything. Especially when it involved watching any Muppet movie and/or cuddling Rou or Broby. So the Blue’s Christmas party was Dylan’s new favorite holiday. Kissing Rou, Dylan got up to grab another cookie for Snuggy, who was currently underneath Dvo.
“Dylannnn…” Jordan whined. “Commeee baaacckk.”
“I’m grabbing something. I’ll be right back! Plus Robby is literally in your lap.” Dylan replied, laughing. He stepped over the Buch, Sunny, Mojo cuddle pile to reach the kitchen as Robby retorted.
“Yeah Rou! What am I, chopped liver?!” Dylan smiled as he reached the kitchen. Binner was sitting on the counter eating fruit as he watched Colton add another cookie tray to the oven.
“Hi Dylan.” Binner greeted him. “Whatcha doin’?”
“Snugs wanted another cookie. He’s currently being smothered by a certain Slovak so I’m being nice.” Dylan replied. “What’re you doing?”
“Waiting for Colt to realize I put mistletoe on the hoodvent.” Binner replied casually, as though he was discussing the weather. “Flower gave me the idea. He said it worked wonders with Sid.” Colton shot up.
“You did what?” He glanced upward to see the leaves taped to the vent. “Oh.”
“Oh indeed.” Binner replied smugly as he hopped off the counter to kiss his boyfriend. Dylan smiled. He grabbed the cookie, adding an extra for Rou before he went back to the couch. He flopped down, handing the cookie to Jimmy before curling back into Jordan’s side.
“Got you something.” Dylan muttered into Rou’s ear, shaking the cookie in front of his face.
“Oh my god I love you.” Jordan replied, taking the cookie and kissing Dylan before devouring it in a single bite.
“Love you more, Rou.” Dylan replied, kissing Jordan’s cheek.

Logan was always a little anxious about anything team related. Watching the team settle into a comfortable rhythm, cuddling on the couches and floor, baking and decorating cookies, sharing presents, watching a Muppet Christmas Carol for the thousandth time by request of Holly, it all had a way of making Logan uneasy. He was never great at showing affection, he knew next to nothing about baking or cookie design, he was shit at gift giving, and he had no idea how to withstand Holly repeating every line Kermit the Frog ever says. So sue him if he’s a little anxious when Faulk suddenly announces that they’re all snowed in and staying over.
Fortunately for Logan, Tyler is surprisingly in tune with what Logan’s feeling, because he suddenly finds himself in some random closet in the Schenn estate, pressed up against Tucks.
“Hi. You okay?” Tucks asks, pressing a kiss to the corner of Logan’s mouth. His hands slipped down to Logan’s waist, pressing his shirt up slightly.
“Just…I dunno. There’s a lot happening right now and…I don’t fully know where I fit in just yet.” Logan admitted quietly, leaning into Tyler and resting his head on his shoulder. Tyler hummed softly and held him closer, hands moving up to under Logan’s armpits and in a circle to his back and down again to graze his abs.
“You fit in with me okay.” Tyler said, kissing Logan’s temple.
“That’s cuz I know you better than everyone. It’d be different if you hadn’t tried to talk to me before anyone else. Hell, I’d probably be off kissing Jake right now if you hadn’t.” Logan laughed softly, nuzzling his boyfriend. Tyler suddenly grabbed his hair and pulled him back to face him.
“Don’t. Ever. Even think. About kissing someone else. Got it?” Tyler spoke with more then an edge of possessiveness. Logan nodded, melting into Tyler’s arms. It was nice to give Tyler all the control and just shut his brain off for a minute. Tyler seemed to recognize that Logan just wanted some time to be brainless and taken care of because he sat on the closet floor and pulled Logan on top of him.
“Mmh. Love you.” Logan mumbled.

Jake heard Flak say something about staying the night. Immediately afterwards he was picked up and kissed. Joel carried him to one of Schenn’s spare rooms. The one they always stayed in when they visited. Joel pressed him into the mattress and kissed his forehead.
“Love you, Jakey.” He whispered.
“You’re squishing me.” Jake grumbled back, wriggling fruitlessly to escape the clutches of hs goalie.
“Say it back.” Joel threatened lovingly. His hands snuck under Jake’s shirt to start tickling at his stomach. Jake wiggled more, starting to laugh uncontrollably.
“Let me go, tyrant!” Jake giggled, pushing Joel back as much as he possibly could. Joel continued his ruthless tickling assault.
“Say you love me!” He demanded.
“I love you!” Jake shouted through the giggles. Joel stopped tickling him and laid next to him.
“I love you more. I love you so much more than you could ever fucking imagine. You’re my entire world, Jakey.” Joel spoke quietly as he kissed Jake’s jaw.
“Sappy fuck.” Jake smiled as he kissed his boyfriend.
