And you are...? [Joey/Jel-lo]

[phantasmalunar]

"What's it mean? I don't quite get it," Jel-lo said.

[praiseofblood]

"My pampers used to be huge, and so when I put on my pants, I had this gigantic butt. So my dad started calling me Jooty Booty." Joey explained with a little snicker.

[phantasmalunar]

Jel-lo started laughing too then his face turned sullen. "I-is it alright if I ask about your father?"

[praiseofblood]

Joey's laughter died down a bit. "Uh...he died, when I was about ten." he said softly.

[phantasmalunar]

"Oh, okay," Jel-lo said and tried going back to eating his french toast, but he couldn't get his appetite. Instead, he turned to Joey and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

[praiseofblood]

Joey grinned, hugging the male slightly closer. "C'mon, eat up, we've got to go open a present and get ready to head to the parade." he said, kissing Jel's neck.

[phantasmalunar]

Jel-lo nodded and quickly finished up.

[praiseofblood]

Joey grabbed Joey by the hand and pulled him into the living room where Lena, Damen, and Maria were gathered. "C'mon, you two, hurry up!" Lena ordered, bouncing excitedly.

[phantasmalunar]

Jel-lo squeezed Joey's hand unsure of what exactly was making Lena so happy. He'd read what Christmas was and wondered what it would be like. So far, it wasn't half bad.

[praiseofblood]

"Jel-lo! This one's yours!" Lena said, tossing Jel a small box.

Joey smiled and just took the box his mother handed him, sitting down and pulling Jel with him.

[phantasmalunar]

Jel-lo took the gift and looked at Joey with wondering orange eyes unsure of what was in it as he carefully started pealing away the paper.

[praiseofblood]

Inside of the paper was a small velvet box, as Jel-lo opened the box, there was a small, gold band inside with several black pearls nestled into the gold. It was an elegant piece of jewelery, but obviously made for a male.

"It was my great grandfathers. I told Joey that when he found the one, he could have it to give to him or her." Maria grinned. "I don't think he could have made a better choice."

[phantasmalunar]

Jel-lo's face burned pink and he sniffed feeling a little moved. He didn't really think he deserved it and placed the jewlry on very slowly looking at it curiously. "It's pretty," he whispered.

[praiseofblood]

Joey grinned, pulling Jel-lo a bit closer to him. "Do you like it?" he asked quietly.

Lena prodded her brother. "Open yours! OPEN IT." she demanded.

Joey blinked, "Alright alright already." he grouched, looking at who it was from--Lena of course. He slowlly unwrapped the gift and opened the box. Inside was a brand new set of measuring tools and drafting tools. It would help a ton when he was designing his buildings.

Joey just stared at them, speachless for a moment before grinning. "Lena...how did you afford this?" he asked.

"I worked, duh. You like it?" she grinned.

Joey hugged his sister. "Love it." he grinned.

Jel-lo was still fiddling with the bracelet(?) caught up in the shininess of it.
