The
Christmas Tree
By:
Silverback Christianpaw
 Well,
it's that time of year again, a time for regular people to go out
to stores and buy Christmas music that they will only listen to once
a year, buy so much crap that they'll have a debt that will last
til April when tax returns come, and deal with family that they don't
want to deal with. Unfortunately, I don't even get to do that.

 I
would be in a better mood if I knew my Christmas was going to be
better than this but it's not looking that way. It's Christmas
Eve and I'm sitting on the couch looking at our Christmas tree. It
glimmers with all kinds of beautiful blues and purples and sparkles
on each and every royal blue branch; and it's
night time so the tree shines even more beautiful at night. I love
making our tree shine more and more blue since our family's fur is
blue. 



Mom was going to be working late tonight and then when she gets home
she'll be waking up in a few hours to work the Christmas rush at
the restaurant. Being pretty much the only restaurant open every
Christmas it was going to busy, there was no doubt about it. Plus, my
older brother is going to be hanging out with his friends for
Christmas Eve, leaving me at the house all alone.


"You sure you don't wanna go? It'll be fun?" Plancha says as
he puts a heavy coat and his boots on.



"Meh, it's your friends," I said, "besides I think I'd
rather just chill here by the tree than dragging your drunk tail to
the bathroom all night."



"Meh, suit yourself. Alright Silverback, have a good night here on
the couch, don't eat too many of the candy canes off the tree
alright? Mom will be pissed."



"I won't," I grumbled a little under my breath as he left the
house, closing the door behind him. I heard his car revving up and
looked out the window to see it back out of the driveway.




I turned on my little portable heater and went back to relaxing on
the couch. I felt the heat push on me a little bit while my backside
was still very chilled. We don't have a whole lot of money and
Plancha suggested getting a few of these heaters would be a lot
cheaper than using the house's heater. It was cheaper, and honestly
wasn't a bad idea. It didn't help my mom with money so much
though as I looked at the tree only to find no presents under it,
just like every year. It's the same story, 'I can't afford to
get you or your brother anything this year' says my mom. But I
always understand since she works hard for what we do have. But one
present would be nice.


 Ching.
My
cell phone rang with a text message. I pulled it out of the pocket of
my sweatpants. As the name "Zero" popped up. It was my wonderful
silver wolfie who I loved so very much.

 I
opened the message as it said: Hey
Love, whatcha up to?

 I
texted back: I'm
alright, just relaxing on the couch . . . all alone :(

 A
few minutes later he texts back: Aww
.hugs. I'm right here love. This party is pretty boring, I wish I
was right there with you.

 I
texted him: Me
too, But I'll be fine. .pets you.

 Even
though I wasn't doing so fine right now. Zero and I have been
together for ten months so far but I've still had to keep him
secret from my family so they don't figure out I am gay. And it
bothers me that Zero lives all the way in Arkansas, and I live here
in New Mexico. This is going to be our first Christmas as a couple
but yet we can't physically be together. So it's hard to get all
excited for this holiday.

 Ching.
He
texts: .rubs
my head in the pets and murrs.

 I
start giggling. I love my silver wolf so much. He thought it was
funny that my name is Silverback but yet it's his fur that's
actually silver.

 I
text him back: .hugs
you to keep you warm.



 I looked up at the tree to enjoy the bright blue and
purple lights again. I thought about going back to my room to watch
youtube videos or something but I'd rather just stay here all night
and just gaze at the tree.



 I quickly got up off the couch and ran down the hallway
to my room and pulled off my bed spread and pillows and brought them
back to my relaxing place. I laid the pillows at the edge of the
couch and pulled the blanket on me and opened my laptop. I put on my
favorite Christmas song "Christmas is Here" by Buckcherry and
just relaxed as the song played through the little speakers on my
phone.

aww .holds you.


 I
looked back under the tree where present's should be, but there was
nothing but a thin red carpet and dusty air under the tree. Even
though it bothered me that everybody I knew, all my friends and
co-workers were going to be having dinner with their friends and
family and opening presents tomorrow morning and I wasn't having
any of that, I didn't really want anything this year, at least not
something.
No item could turn this around and make it a good Christmas for me,
but a person, one person could make this the greatest Christmas ever.


 I
texted him: I
really really really wish you were here right now. You would make
this the greatest Christmas ever! .kisses.

 A
few moments later he texts back: I
know. I wish I was there too. It's killing me that you're not
here with me .clings to you.


 I kept texting him for the next couple of hours, asking
how the party was going. It seemed pretty boring to him as nothing
was really going on. His niece got a tricycle and he played the white
elephant game with his family. I started giggling when he texted me
saying he got a slinky.



 Even though the couch was comfortable and the tree was
inviting I just couldn't shake this depression, nobody was around
me and it made me sad. I typed in "Penguins of Madagascar" into
the youtube search and the first video that popped up was their
Christmas episode. I remember watching it last year around this time,
it talked all about "Santa magic" and using it to make a good
Christmas.



 "Boy I could use some Santa Magic right now?" I
said out loud to myself. I looked up at the room and looked around
for a second. For some reason I expected somebody to walk by, but of
course nobody was here.


 Sigh.
"You know, I really don't care, I don't need presents, or a big
dinner, or even my family around me. All I want for Christmas this
year is my mate to be right beside me. That's my fucking wish this
year!" I was getting cranky. I looked down at the clock on my
computer to see it read 11:53 p.m. It was probably time to go ahead
and turn in for the night. I checked my phone again and I got two
texts from Zero. The first one saying: I'm
home. The
second one saying: I'm
tired love, I'm heading to bed. .kisses you. Nini

 I
quickly texted back: Ok
Love nini, I'll text you tomorrow .kisses. I love you

 I
was relieved to get a text back a moment later saying: I
love you 2.
I didn't want to miss my wolfie before he went to bed. I laid my
phone on the ground next to me and just lay me head on the pillow. My
eyelids were already getting heavy as my body started slowing down so
I could fall asleep.

* * *



 I turned over as my body pressed into the warm couch.
My brain started up and it realized it was Christmas. I opened my
eyes as I looked at the tree still shining bright. It was still night
so I may have woken up at three in the morning or something and was
probably going to doze off again shortly. Until I realized I wasn't
alone in the room anymore. I saw him. It was unmistakable. The red
coat and pants, the big black boots, and he had a big red bag over
his shoulder, Santa Paws.



 "S-santa?" I say.



 He turns around and looks at me, his brown eyes focused
on me, "Oh, I'm sorry Silverback, did I wake you?" he said with
a whisper. He took one step to me and gave me a little rub on my
chest. He was a big polar bear and his beard was as white and long as
I had seen on TV. Santa was actually real? I can't believe it. He
says, "Hehe you're not supposed to see me, close your eyes pup.
And don't worry you we're a good boy this year ho-ho-ho."



 I closed my eyes again and smiled as I turned over and
buried my face in the pillow again so I could go back to sleep. I
could hear him walking gently over to the tree and then a moment
later walk past me as he opened the front door and gently closed it
right behind him. It was silent once again and I was very close to
falling back to sleep when I started hearing snoring. 




 My eyes opened up again. At first I thought it was my
mom or my brother for a second but it sounded very close. I turned
back around on the couch and saw something under the tree. It was a
wolf curled up looking like a little silver furball under the tree.
His fur was moving up and down as he was snoring lightly a very cute
snore. His tail was laid peacefully on the floor; his shiny silver
fur with a big red bow over his naked rump.



 It couldn't be . . . could it? I quickly got up and
laid next to him so we were face to face,



 "Zero?"



 His hazel eyes open, I've seen them on so many pics
that he's sent me but now they were here in front of me. ""Hehe,
oh hi love," he said reaching out as he pulled me close to him and
gave me a little kiss on the lips. I almost broke the kiss because I
was so shocked he was here, touching me, feeling me, but he was
here. I felt his tongue wrap around mine in a warm embrace. It melted
me. My tongue started to fight back as it swirled with his as it got
really warm. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his waist.
Our eyes opened up again as we were chest to chest.



 "How? Guh, how? Um, hehe how?" I said.



 "Hehe, you're the one who made the wish sillies,"
he smiled wide at me.



 "I know, but I didn't think it would, well, you
know."



 "Hehe well I'm here."



 Tears rolled down my face as I buried my nose into his
neck. I couldn't smell his scent but I didn't care, he was here
with me. "Oh my God, I can't believe you are here."



 "Well, I'm sorta here, hehe."



 "I'm guessing this is a dream, right?" My said
tail laid down again.



 "Hehe hun, I'm always in your heart, and don't
worry Love I'm not going 


anywhere. It won't be this Christmas but we will be
together very soon."



 "Are," sniffles, "Are you sure?" I said with
two more tears down my cheeks.



 "Hehe yep, just be patient. We will be together soon
enough."



 "Okay, if you say so," I kissed him one more time.
I never wanted him to leave and I don't know exactly when he was
going to. But he was here at this very moment and I wasn't going to
waste my chance. I pulled him close with all my strength and kissed
him as deeply as I possibly could. He gave me a muffed moan as our
tongues swirled for a second time. Tears kept going down my face as
we kissed. I finally let it go. Zero looked at me with a beautiful
smile and his tail was wagging against the big red bow. I giggle as I
playfully pull the bow off of his butt and stick it on top of my
head. Zero giggles as he looks at his naked butt and his tail wags
faster.



 He looked back at me and licked my face, "You're so
silly," he said.

* * *



 My eyes open up for Christmas morning . . and I was
back on the couch. I looked around, the tree's light weren't as
bright, it was daylight once again. I sat up and looked out the
window. Snow on the ground, my mom's blue van in the driveway, and
my brother's car not there.

 "I
guess it was
just a dream," I whined for a second as I rubbed my eyes. I looked
down at my phone as it read "New Message from: Zero" I quickly
picked it up and opened it as it read: Merry
Christmas my loving wolfie .kisses and puts a pair of antlers on you.

 I
didn't hesitate to text back: omg
love, I had the most awesome dream ever! You we're lying under
christmas tree and I got to kiss you!!! :))))))

 A
few minutes later he replied: Hehe
sounds like an awesome dream I wish I could be under your tree right
now hehe .kisses.

 I
reply: Hehe
you said we'd be together very soon. And I can't wait! I love you
.kisses deeply.

 He
says: Hehe
yes we will .raises mistletoe above us and kisses you. Merry
Christmas hehe

 My
tail wags faster as I replied to him: .kisses
you and puts a big red bow on your butt. Hehe Merry Christmas to you
too love.
