 Ripley had grown used to spending Christmas alone in Storybrooke. It seemed like so long ago his wife and daughter had been around to spend the holidays with him. So long he could not quite grasp how many years. It could not be as many as it felt. These past few years had seen him spending quiet Christmases with Wolf.

This year was going to be different. He had invited Graham for the Holiday and to his surprise, the sheriff had accepted.

Now he was staring at the box to the sad excuse for a meal he was throwing together and wishing Granny's would have been open. Why had he thought this was a good idea? Graham would have been possibly better of on his own but there was food at last and coffee and an overly affectionate dog. 

And hanging betwen his stocking and Wolf's was one with Graham's name on it. full of sweets he actually enjoyed and coffee grounds from rhe cafe among other things. A box under the tree somewhat sloppily wrapped had his name as well.

All his night was missing was the sheriff himself. 

And Ripleywould be lying if he said he was not nervously anticipating his arival.

He still wasn't sure if they were anything more than friends who had had sex, but he was happy with whatever it wasthey did have. there was no one he would rather spend the holiday with.

"The weather was just about the only thing that didn't."

Said with a smile as he did his best to not get knocked over by an eager Wolf who was no doubt smelling the little guest under Graham's jacket as well as just being happy that his daddy's friend was over for a visit again.

Somewhat awkwardly he leaned in to kiss Ripley's cheek before handing him Wolf's present.

"Hold this will you? It's for Wolf but he's not allowed to open it yet. Uh... your present was a little hard to wrap so I'll kind of have to give it to you right away. Do you mind?"

Not that it really mattered since he'd have to do it anyway. Way to have no way at all with words as per usual, Graham.

"If I said yes I'd basically be admitting that I couldn't find you anything, and that'd be pretty damn pathetic."

He closed the door and bent down to carefully undo his shoelaces with one hand, the other bracing the sleeping little creature he'd been carrying. It took longer than it should have because he also had to keep fending Wolf off, ending up with a face govered in slobbery dog kisses.

"Though I'll admit that I came embarrassingly close."

Finding a gift for Ripley had been hard.

He toed his shoes off and went to join Ripley while he opened his jacket to lift out the little black kitten he'd been carrying.

"But I found this little girl here in the shelter, all alone now because her siblings have been adopted. She was the only one left, and she always made me think of you because she's constantly napping. She's got the prettiest blue eyes when she opens them though."

Graham was smiling too, happy that his gift had been well received.

He shrugged his jacket off and draped it over the back of Ripley's couch before sitting himself down, content to watch Ripley introduce the kitten to Wolf.

"So what'll you name her?"
