Just For You
“Just for You”
Jeremiah's POV
It was the day before Christmas Eve and Jeremiah could only role his eyes in exasperation at Bobby's cussing. Yeah, he could understand it. After all, Jerry had forgotten a gift for his wife up until tonight too. He'd only been reminded when Bobby had asked him to take him to the store because he had forgotten to get Jack something. But what Jerry got when he read between the long strings of swear words was that Jack hadn't actually told Bobby what he had wanted. He had only told Bobby that being alive and in his arms was enough.
While Jerry could appreciate Jack's sentimental side, he could also sympathize with Bobby because his wife had said the same thing.
'Just knowing you're alive, safe, and at home is enough for me.'
Yeah, that's nice of them, Jerry thought, but when you showed up giftless they still looked disappointed.
“Shit! Fuck! Shit!” Bobby cursed again. Jerry just smiled and wished the elderly couple a few feet from them a Merry Christmas before shoving Bobby down the candy isle and away from people with innocent ears.
“Bobby! Stop. You'll find something, this place is huge.” Bobby sighed and ran a frustrated hand through his hair.
“Yeah, it's just gotta be perfect, ya know.” Jerry nodded, knowing exactly what Bobby meant. It only served as a further reminder that he still hadn't found that perfect something for his wife.
“Come on, Bobby. Let's go find Angel and Jack, we can look for something on the way to the jewelry store.” But Bobby wasn't paying attention. He was staring at a stuffed dog holding a canister of chocolates in its paws. Jerry raised an eyebrow when Bobby reached a tentative hand out to finger one tail end of the red velvet ribbon tied around the stuffed animal's neck.
“Bobby?” Jerry's brother just frowned and picked up the stuffed animal, looking at it as though it held all the answers.
“Bobby...” Jeremiah stepped closer. Bobby's eyes snapped to him and then he seemed to jerk himself out of his daze. The stuffed animal in his hands was tossed carelessly over one shoulder and back onto the shelf.
“I know what to get Jack.” Jerry raised the other eyebrow at the stuffed animal, wondering what Bobby was referring to, but followed his brother out of the store nonetheless.
The two of them walked into the jewelry store next to the super market they were just in. They easily spotted and strode over to Angel and Jack, who were peering down into one of the lit up glass counters. Bobby wound an arm around Jack's waist while Jerry rolled his eyes at the two and stopped next to Angel.
“Have any luck?” Angel just murmured something too low for anyone to hear and shoved the small velvet box into his pocket.
“Aww, whittle Angel's nervous.” Angel shot Bobby a glare the same time as Jack elbowed him in the ribs. Bobby just grinned and tightened his hold on Jack, obviously much less nervous about finding something for the younger man. Jack just smiled encouragingly at Angel.
“I think it's sweet, Angel. She's going to love it.” Angel mumbled again and nodded, though it was more to himself than anyone else. Jack's face all of a sudden lit up when he looked Jerry's way. He slipped out of Bobby's arms, nudging Jerry hard as he passed him, before he stopped at one of the glass cases further down the row.
“This is what you're looking for, Jerry.” Curious, Jerry stepped over and peered down at the piece of jewelry Jack was pointing at. It was the most stunning pair of sapphire, his wife's favorite stone, blue earrings. They were long and ovular with the deep blue stones circled by sparkling diamonds. They were perfect.
“Christ, Cracker Jack, she'll love 'em.” Jerry wrapped an affectionate arm around Jack's neck and gave him an excited hug.
“Jacky as skillz. Who knew it'd be for picking out the perfect piece of jewelry? Jacky has a gift.” Angel teased, looking a little less nervous about the ring burning a hole in his pocket. Bobby was smirking, looking like he was both proud and wanted nothing more than to drag Jack home and upstairs. Jerry shook his head and reached up to smack the man across the back of his head. Bobby's indignant yelp was ignored as Angel piped in.
“Not tonight, Bobby. Give it a rest and leave Jack alone for the night. Hell, give me a rest. You know Sophie gets hornier' n' hell with you two getting' it on, I just wanna sleep tonight!”
“What? Whittle Angel can't take a bit of sex?” Jack piped up from beside Jerry. He chuckled when Bobby threw him a wink as Angel just sputtered.
“You two are like goddamn rabbits, man! I'd have to a machine to keep up with Sophie after she catches you two!” Jeremiah just shook his head. He had always loved his family, but it was now that he realized just how special to him they were.
His business was finally coming together, his family was all happy and healthy, and with the substitute of Jack's cooking instead of Ma's, this Christmas promised to be the best Christmas in years. Jeremiah knew that no one was really worried about Ma's physical absence because everyone could already feel her hovering close by; watching over them. She won't be sitting this Christmas out.
