Nikki hated Christmas, he always had, ever since his mom started bringing home her asshole boyfriends, christmas had become "fuck with Nikki day" and for some of her boyfriends "fuck Nikki day!" And he fucking hated it
Tommy on the other hand, loved it, ever since he was little he would race his siblings down to the tree to see the pressents, they'd play games for cookies, they'd stay up till midnight on Christmas eve... it was perfect
These two men were opposite forces of nature, but they somehow clicked, Tommy learned how to deal with Nikki, and Nikki learned how to deal with Tommy... in everything except the christmas matter. You see, they had been dating for 3 years, and every year it was a fight.
"Tommy we are not putting up a tree"
"But I want to put up a tree!"
"Yeah? Well you can go put it up elsewhere"
A year Tommy put up a tree without telling Nikki, and when he woke up the next morning it had been burnt, the younger didn't talk to his boyfriend untill he apologized, and Nikki Sixx never apologizes, so for three days the terror twins avoided each other like the plague, Nikki even went to stay with Vince for a month.
The only tradition they kept was that every year Nikki bougt Tommy an expensive gift, like last year he got a new drumset, and every year they cuddled on the couch as Nikki played with his hair, every christmas morning Tommy would get up and make Nikki breakfast, and today was no different.
Tommy woke up early, he decided to make his boyfriend freshly baked bread and some eggs, he was in the kitchen close to an hour as the bread took a while to make, but when he was done he went to their room to wake up his boyfriend
"Nikki"
He sing-songed, walking closer to the sleeping man
"I made you breakfast my love..."
He sat next to his boyfriend in bed, the older was not moving
"Nikki?"
He set the tray down, maybe kissing his boyfriend awake would be a better idea
"Baby, i made you breakfast"
He started kissing his shoulder, but he still got no response
"Nikki?"
He shook the man, but the other didnt respond, panick started setting into the man
"Nikki!!"
he shook him violently, just then he realized how cold his boyfriends skin felt
"Fuck... Nikki! This isn't funny! Wake the fuck up!"
He turned him around, Nikkis eyes were closed, they were sunken in, surrounded by dark circles, his lips had turned a shade of purple
"Nikki! Fuck! Wake up!"
His breathing was quickening
"Nikki..."
Tears started dwelling in his eyes
"Nikki, please.... please wake up"
He took the ravenettes hand in his, it was cold as ice
"Please my love, i can't lose you... please I can't"
he brought the cold hand to his lips, he kissed it softly
"Please, you have to stay"
He picked his phone up to call 911
"Hello? Yes, it... my... my friend, he-"
Tommy choked, his voice wavering
"He won't wake up..."
Tears were rolling, his face was wet with salty tears, as the bitter reality that the love of his life might never wake up again
After giving the dispatcher his information me lifted Nikki up
"Im sorry, im so, so, so fucking sorry, for everything, im so sorry i couldnt... im sorry"
His tears were falling on the mans face, there was no reaction, no flinch... no... nothing
Sirens, thats all Tommy registered as he held his boyfriend, medics, thats all he saw as the body of his lover was dragged away, beeping, thats all he heard as he held the ice cold hand
It stopped, before they reached the hospital, the beeping stopped, he had flatlined, they tried, they really tried to save him...
Tommy hated Christmas.
