Tony rubbed his hand over his eyes as he sat in his parked car in the parking garage of his apartment building. He had been on the clock for so long that he had lost track of what day it was. But when the young son of a high-ranking officer with knowledge of highly classified materials was taken hostage, there would be no rest until he was safe.

His head was sore from the lack of sleep combined with a high number of unwarranted head slaps from his Boss. Tony had learned to give the older man a little leeway when they had cases that dealt with kids, but even then there was a limit to how much Tony could take.

Finally gathering the last of his strength, Tony grabbed his bag and exited the car. Tony let a small smile creep over his face at the prospect of seeing Xander for the first time in three or four days. They had only spoken on the phone a handful of times and Tony found himself missing his lover.

“You’re turning into a sap, DiNozzo,” Tony said to himself as the elevator door closed and he jabbed the third floor button. “But a sap in love,” he added to the empty elevator.

Just as the elevator jerked to a stop, Tony’s heart sank when he remembered that Xander had planned to go to Cleveland for Christmas. He had been invited, but the case got in the way of him leaving. He vaguely recalled telling Xander to go on without him.

Resigned to entering the empty apartment and a holiday alone, Tony let a sigh. “Guess it’s me, a TV dinner, “Charlie Brown’s Christmas” and an empty bed,” he said demurely as he unlocked the door and stepped inside.

Just inside the door, he froze in shock. The apartment was not how he last remembered it. In fact, he had never had any apartment look like his now did. In the corner of the living room was a decorated tree, the colorful lights flickering in a random pattern. Presents were scattered beneath it and two stockings were hanging from the top of the entertainment center, one on each side of the television.

Tony blinked his eyes, feeling liked he had walked into the holiday version of the “Twilight Zone”. He half expected to see Rod Sterling walk out from the kitchen. So confused by the decorated apartment, he didn’t even notice when his view of the tree was blocked by a familiar and smiling face.

“Hey stranger,” was said to him with a playful tone. “Did Scrooge finally free you from servitude Mr. Cratchit?”

Tony let his bag drop to the floor and he leaned back against the door for much needed support. “Hey,” he said quietly. “What happened to Cleveland?”

“Cleveland didn’t have what I wanted for Christmas. I never got what I wanted for Christmas when I was growing up, so I decided I would make sure I got what I wanted this year.”

Tony smiled and played along. “So what do you want for Christmas Tiny Xan?”

“Tiny? Tiny?” Xander pressed up against Tony and pinned him to the door. He slid his leg between Tony’s thighs and pushed them slightly apart. Then he rubbed his growing arousal against Tony’s own. Xander let out a small growl before his mouth descended on Tony’s. Their mouths were on fire for the first time in days and within moments they were both moaning through the kiss.

They finally parted their lips with a popping sound and Tony adopted a silly grin on his face as he wrapped his arms around the other man to pull him closer. “I’ll keep calling you Tiny if it gets me that kind of response every time.”

“Well, I had you right where I wanted you, so I wasn’t gonna pass up the chance to try out the mistletoe,” Xander said as he pointed above their heads.

“How much of this mistletoe did you buy and where did you put?”

Xander leaned in to run his tongue along Tony’s lips. “You’re the detective. Find them,” Xander challenged as he pulled away and then grabbed Tony’s hand in his own.

Tony stumbled slightly as he started to move forward and suddenly remembered how tired he really was. Xander wrapped his arm around the older man in a supportive gesture. “I think I’m going to have to have a little chat with Gibbs about wearing you out.”

“I’m sure he would love that talk,” Tony snorted. “Anytime I try it, I get slapped in the head.”

“As long as he keeps those slaps above the belt,” Xander said as he slid his hand down to cup Tony’s ass. “If he doesn’t, all bets are off and I’ll call in the big guns.”

“Willow?” Tony asked as they made their way to the bedroom.

“Nah, that would be overkill,” Xander said with a grin. “I’d probably sic Andrew on him.”

“Evil. Now I know why I like you,” Tony grinned as he leaned further into Xander’s body.

Once they made it to the bed, Tony dropped down onto his back with his knees bent of the end of the bed. “God Xander,” Tony said has he rubbed his hand over his eyes. “I want to make up for lost time tonight, but…” Tony trailed off with a sigh.

“I know,” Xander said as he bent down to take Tony’s shoes off for him. “You’re as wiped out as I was five weeks ago when we dealt with that mini-apocalypse. Don’t sweat it. I’ve got a plan.”

“A plan, huh?” Tony murmured. “What’s this plan involve?”

“First, I’m stripping you,” Xander said in a low voice as he pulled Tony’s socks off and moved up to lean over top of his chest. He leaned in and placed a light kiss on Tony’s lips before undoing the buttons on his shirt.

“Sounds like a good place to start,” Tony breathed out and Xander ran his hands soothingly over his chest, lightly tweaking his nipples.

Xander worked Tony’s shirt off and moved down to his pants. He pulled the zipper down and slid his hands past the waistband to work them around to Tony’s ass. Tony lifted up slightly to let Xander knead the rounded flesh through his boxers.

All too soon, Xander pulled his hand down toward Tony’s thighs and took his pants and boxers with them. With Tony’s cock visible, Xander bent down and placed small, quick licks across the tip of it. Tony blushed lightly when he realized his dick wasn’t responding like normal to his lover’s tongue.

“Don’t worry about it,” Xander told him as he pulled the pants and boxers the rest of the way off. “I’ve got other plans for tonight. Christmas presents should be opened on Christmas day, not Christmas Eve.”

Tony just huffed in response, still a little perturbed at his unresponsive dick. ‘You better behave tomorrow,’ he thought to his cock as he propped up on his elbows.

“So what comes next with these plans? My clothes are history.”

Xander had just finished taking his own clothing off and tossed Tony a bath towel. “Step two is getting you to lay face down on that.”

Tony’s face lit up when he realized what step three was going to be. “If step three doesn’t involve your hands over my body with some extremely expensive oils, I’ll have to go find a new boyfriend.”

“I’d like to see you try Tony,” Xander said with a smile as he settled himself in a straddling position over Tony’s thighs. “Don’t forget I have ties to some vengeance demons.”

“Most of who are more likely to kill you then go after me,” Tony reminded him.

“Probably,” Xander snorted. Then he rubbed a generous amount of the massage oil into his hands and reached down to Tony’s neck to start work on the tight muscles across the tired man’s body.

“God Tony,” Xander murmured. “You need to find a way to relax when you’re on a case like that.”

“Just like you do when there’s an impending apocalypse?” Tony’s muffled voice asked from the pillow his face was buried in.

“Touché,” Xander responded as he hit a spot that elicited a moan from Tony. “Maybe I should talk Abby into giving you a massage while Gibbs’ back is turned.”

Tony chuckled, “You do that and you won’t have to worry about me finding a new boyfriend, I’ll have a new girlfriend who sleeps in a coffin.”

“Then you only get her if I’m there to supervise,” Xander said as he worked his way down to Tony’s lower back.

Tony gave into the sensations of Xander working out the kinks and soreness throughout his body and slowly let his mind drift into the first relaxing sleep he’d had in days. Just before he was completely gone he felt Xander’s lips on his ear and heard a whispered, “I love you.” Tony managed to get a slurred, “Love yah too,” out before succumbing to sleep.

Many hours later, Tony rolled over and stretched his body full length of the bed. He felt refreshed and comfortable. He could feel the ghosts of Xander’s fingers still lingering on his skin and just the thought of it made his blood run south. He cracked his eyes open when he heard a small chuckle in front of him and then felt Xander push his ass back against his hardening cock.

“I see the rest did you good. Happy to see me?” Xander asked as he rubbed back against Tony, gradually warming them both with the friction.

“Yeah,” Tony mumbled as he wrapped his arms around Xander’s chest and pulled him flush against his chest. “And ready to make up for lost time too.”

True to his words, Tony rubbed his hands over Xander’s bare chest and tweaked his nipples. He descended his mouth onto the space where Xander’s shoulder and neck met and started lightly suckling while he continued to tease the nipples to hard nubs. He hooked right leg over Xander’s, letting his cock settle in the space just under Xander’s ass and against the backs of his thighs. He started a light rocking motion that combined with the other stimulants, caused Xander to let out a small groan.

“Damn Tony,” Xander said as he moved his hand down to slide on his own cock.

Tony moved his mouth up to Xander’s ear and lightly nipped the ear lobe before sucking it into his mouth. A moment later, he pulled back and whispered, “Can you reach the night stand?”

Xander shivered at the tickle of breath against his ear and then stretched as far forward as he could with Tony still holding onto him. He fumbled through the drawer to pull out a tube of lube that he placed in Tony’s hand and a condom he laid on the bed in front of them.

Xander moved his own hand back to stroke his cock while Tony slicked up a finger and began working it around the puckered opening to Xander’s ass. Xander shuddered when he felt the single digit slip inside him; Tony let it rest there for a moment before he started to move it in and out of the tight opening. Tony maneuvered his free hand under Xander’s hip and back up in front of him to cup Xander’s balls. He let his fingers ghost over them while he added a second finger into the opening.

Xander was all but purring at the sensations from his own hand and Tony’s. He was mumbling incoherent words of pleasure and begging as Tony started scissoring his fingers to loosen him further.

“God! Tony!” Xander cried out when one of Tony’s fingers brushed his prostate.

Tony leaned down and lightly bit into Xander’s shoulder. “You ready?” Tony asked softly.

“Any time,” Xander breathed out.

Tony pulled his fingers free of Xander’s ass and snatched the condom to put in place. Fumbling the package with his teeth and hand, he managed to get it open and let a groan of his own out when he slid it over his hard cock.

Stroking the leftover lube from his hand on his dick, Tony positioned himself to enter Xander’s warm, inviting ass. He pulled his left hand back under Xander to grasp his hip and let his right hand push Xander’s leg up a bit.

Ever so slowly, Tony pushed past the rings of muscle until he was fully inside the younger man. He released a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding, only to gasp when he felt Xander flex the muscles around his cock.

“Need you to move, Tony. Want you to fuck me,” Xander growled out as he started pumping his own cock faster.

Tony complied with his lover’s wish and was soon sliding in and out Xander’s ass with increasing speed. The room was filled with sounds of heavy breathing from both men and the slapping sound of skin against skin.

Tony used his hands to pull Xander back towards his body even as he thrust forward. He brought his right hand down to join Xander’s on his cock and that was all it took for come to spurt from the head of Xander’s cock.

Xander cried out as his orgasm rocked his body and he clenched the muscles in his ass around Tony’s thrusting cock. Tony pulled back and then pushed inside hard one more time, hitting Xander’s prostate and spilling himself as his own climax hit.

Xander melted in Tony’s arms as both began to surface from the sensations. Tony held his lover close and kept his softening dick inside Xander as long as he could, not wanting to lose the connection they had.

“Merry Christmas,” Tony whispered in Xander’s ear. “Did you get what you wanted?”

Xander turned his head enough so they could share an awkward kiss. “Best Christmas present ever.”

“Good,” Tony said as he pulled the comforter up over them both. “I thought so too.”
