It was nearing Christmas, and Mark was excited, just like everyone else during Christmas. Presents, Christmas dinner, and all the other exciting things that came with the holidays. Max had put up his Christmas tree and other little decorations around the house, running up his electricity bill for the heater since it was getting cold as hell. The snow looked super pretty from outside the window though!

One day a couple weeks before Christmas, Mark and one of his friends were jokingly writing Christmas lists and Mark wrote down 'boyfriend' on his. He didn't know what his friend did with those letters, but he didn't think about it too much since it was just a joke.

So imagine Mark's surprise when he saw an elf boy tied up in ribbon sitting under his Christmas tree on early Christmas morning.
