Saturday, late morning

     It was too damn adorable, when on Saturday morning—late morning—Hannah had barged into Frey's bedroom to wake him and Daniel up, screaming there were tons of presents under the Christmas tree.

Since his father and he had now permanently moved into the new apartment there was plenty of space for people to stay over; like Hannah and Felicia—their mother, who Frey had come to learn quite well in the past month.

And because it was Christmas and Frey and Daniel were in a relationship, Felicia and Hannah had agreed to spend Christmas with them.

Which was also the reason for Hannah to wake Frey and Daniel up around eleven in the morning, jumping on the bed enthusiastically.

"Danny, Danny, Danny!" She repeatedly called out happily, holding baby Sophia in her arms as always. "You have to see this!" She stopped jumping with one last jump, landing on her knees, crawling in between Frey—who groaned annoyed because he had to let go of Daniel—and Daniel, who sleepily smiled.

"See what?"

"There're tons ofpresent!" She was shaking Daniel since he closed his eyes again.

"Hannah, please." Frey mumbled. "Let us sleep for another hour." Frey begged, pulling the cover over his head. "One more hour."

"But it's Christmas morning." She pulled the cover away from his head, her face close to his. "Your dad said we can open one present in the morning, and the rest tonight. I want to open one now!"

Frey groaned, realising Hannah wasn't allowed to open more presents until later that day when the rest of his family was there; including his mother. They had been trying to get back on friendly terms, but it was a long and painful process to Frey. She still wasn't all too willing to listen or accept him like he was. But at least she didn't mind his sexuality. She actually liked Daniel.

"How about we come out a quarter to 12 so you can still open a present in the morning?" Daniel bargained, pulling Hannah in his arms, tickling her. Frey knew it was an attempt to get her away from Frey, who wasn't as cheerful in the morning as usual.

"Promised?"

"Yes, but only if you let us sleep until then."

"Okay!" Hannah chirped, and Frey felt her grab baby Sophia again, climbing off the bed.

The door closed shortly after, and Frey turned around to face Daniel.

"You wanna sleep some more?" Daniel whispered amused, putting his arms around Frey when he placed his head on Daniel's chest.

"I wanna cuddle and sleep." Frey mumbled sleepily, moving around until he was in a comfortable position again.

"Sounds good to me." Daniel agreed with a smile, while Frey pecked a kiss on his chest.

"Can't we stay in bed the whole day?"

"No, we just promised Hannah to be out before noon." Daniel laughed, and the vibrations in his chest made Frey smile.

"Than we go back to bed after she opened a present." Frey mumbled sleepily, pushing himself up on his elbow to look Daniel in the eyes. "I don't want to spend the whole day with family. I want to spend some alone time with you." Frey flashed a sly smirk and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"You truly are a horny bastard."

"Be glad I enjoy sex with you." Frey whispered huskily, leaning in to kiss Daniel. "Could've been a romantic attraction without sexual attraction too. Now would that make you happy?"

"Hmm... Being with you, not having sex? That just doesn't sound right, to be honest." Daniel mumbled with his lips against Frey's.

"Exactly." Frey laughed, kissing him one more time. "Maybe we don't have to sleep, maybe we can fool around for a bit."

"And have Hannah, Victor or Rudy walk in on us? We'd traumatize them."

"Damn... I need a lock on my door."

"And have our parents know what we're doing whenever the door is locked?" Daniel shook his head.

"Ugh, no. Dad would totally make that awkward..." Frey rolled his eyes, laying back down with his head on Daniel's chest with a sigh.

And right in that moment, Victor threw the door open, barging into the room.

"Mom and Julia are here, and dad says you have to get out of bed." He announced, not showing any intention to leave the room any time soon.

"Yeah, yeah. We'll get up..." Frey complained. "Could you leave?"

"No, dad told me to wait until you are actually out of bed."

"Well then..." Frey pushed himself up, and threw the blankets away, glad both of them at least were smart enough to wear underwear in bed. They didn't always do that. Just when there were kids present in the house that didn't know the value of privacy yet.

"I guess fun time is over." Frey joked, since his mother had arrived. And she might have told him she supports his relationship with Daniel—and actually likes Daniel—she didn't like PDA whenever she was near.

So, fun time really was over, since he couldn't even hold hands with Daniel for a while, let alone hug or kiss him.

But it was giving and taking. He couldn't expect his mother to completely change overnight, just like he couldn't change his behaviour overnight.

At least his mother was trying to support him. At least she accepted the fact he had moved in with his father.

And Frey knew she had agreed to stop scheduling his siblings time because Julia had threatened to move in with their father too if she wouldn't ease down a bit.

So, for the rest of the day, he had forced conversations with his mother about simple subjects like school. They silently agreed some subjects were forbidden to talk about yet; like him being Bipolar and taking medication for it. Or the fact she was finally agreeing to go to a psychiatrist herself to work on her controlling mind.

He kept steeling kisses from Daniel whenever she wasn't looking, he was joking around with Daniel's mother, he played with Hannah, Victor and Rudy while they were playing Family; baby Sophia obviously being the baby, while Frey and Rudy played as if they were children, Victor and Hannah the parents, and Daniel was obviously Frey's boyfriend because Hannah liked them being together, even in a play.

And just there, with their families together, Daniel's mother happy, his own mother trying not to be bossy, and his father being his funny self, Frey felt as if everything would be alright.

Maybe he was bipolar, maybe he was bisexual, and maybe he had struggled to accept both sides to him in public, he did.

But him and Daniel were a great couple together, and with Daniel by his side, Frey knew he could overcome anything, because Daniel would be right there to support him, and Frey would always try to be there for him too.

Finally, Frey felt completely at peace with his life.
