Fandom: Sports Night
Pairing: Dan/Casey
Rating: Harmless boy kissage
Disclaimer: No llamas were harmed in the creation of this story.
Note: phoebesmum wondered if there might be llamas. I thought it my duty to give her some. All items mention are currently available on eBay. Number eleven in the llama saga. The others can be found here.




"Are you sure about this?" Dan asked.

"I'm pretty sure," said Casey. "At least I think so."

Dan surveyed the various gifts laid out on the coffee table and blinked. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now he was wondering if it wasn't a little childish to be giving llama-themed gifts to everyone in the office.

He picked up the llama wool chullo he had chosen for Jeremy. The ear flaps would certainly keep him cosy on the coldest of New York in winter days, but the knitted llama pattern that had seemed cute and funky on eBay may not be so when worn by a nerdy, thirty-two year-old television producer from Boston.

Then there was the people of the Andes and their llama hand knitted finger puppets that he'd bought for Dana, and the llama rock art the he'd decided would look great on Isaac's desk. Did Isaac really need a paperweight that depicted a Christmas Pack Llama with a candy cane in its mouth?

"They'll love them," Casey reassured him, picking up the Peruvian clay nativity in a llama that had been earmarked for Kim.

"You don't think it's a little OTT?"

"OTT? You? Never!"

Dan flashed him a look and reached for the silver and turquoise llama earrings he'd found for Natalie. He was still waiting to see if he'd won the llama wall art shadow box for Will, but Chris's llama wool socks were on their way and he'd picked up Dave's Japanese boy and llama nishi doll only that morning.

"Although," Casey added as he relaxed into the sofa, "I don't think Dana quite knew what she was getting into when she wouldn't let us put Ceazar and Babbette on the Sports Night holiday cards this year."

"I told her people think they're cute. Does she realise just how much fan mail they get?"

"Which is kind of disturbing when you think about."

"Granted. However, it's the holidays and the holidays are supposed to be fun!"

"Fun with llamas fun."

"Exactly!"

Dan grinned at Casey and ducked out of the way when he reached out to ruffle his hair. However he didn't resist too much when Casey faux-tackled him in retaliation and pinned him against the couch cushions.

"Want to help me wrap my llamas?" Dan asked, smiling up at him.

"Maybe later," Casey said as his mouth closed over Dan's.
