Vincent had always loved Christmas. He loved every holiday. If it was a time for celebration, it was a time for Vincent! this year was extra special though, and as such he'd gone the extra mile. Which was possibly more like 5 miles, because Vincent was already one known for... extravagance.
"Yes, Andre!" He laughed and rolled his eyes as Andre went to check. He'd prepared with a mini fridge in his own room as well, stock full of as many backup juice boxes as one could need. He'd taken extra care with all the food to make sure it was only a little bit burnt on the edges and he still had his own surprise left for both Dubois brothers.
The blond laughed, placing the last few ornaments on the tree(including a sparkling Umbreon and a snow globe that appeared to have a burning snowman inside). He was dressed in a dark grey wool cardigan with a red cotton shirt under it, and a pair a dark slacks, all courtesy of Andre's choosing. The only thing he'd been allowed to choose for himself was his socks, which were a very loud, very fuzzy, orange with yellow spots pair. "Do ya' think I'd answer the door in my boxers when he gets here, huh? ...I mean, don't answer that. But I ain't gonna, quit your fretting!" Vincent swirled away from the tree(which was topped with an angel that Vincent totally had not drawn a moustache on), and practically pranced into the kitchen. He stepped up to Andre and put his hands on his waist, keeping him in place for just a moment. "We've been gettin' everything ready for the last month, would ya' relax? We got this. When do we fudge up plans, huh?" He grinned and pressed a quick kiss to Andre's forehead. "It'll be fine!"

Vincent couldn't help but be amused by Andre's worrying. Sure, he'd been a bit jealous of all the attention Andre was giving to Zacharie when they'd finally met each other again, but... he'd managed to get over it well enough. Besides, he couldn't let himself be jealous of a twerp like the younger Dubois siblings. The kid had a kind of charm to him, anyway. He wasn't much like Andre, but Vincent could get used to him as a step brother.
"I'm on it," he said to Andre, rolling his eyes at getting waved off. He strolled to the door, took a moment to straighten out his cardigan, took a deep breath, then flung the door open.
He grinned and flung himself out the door.
"HELLOOO BROTHER!!" He cheered, scooping Zacharie up into his hands in a smothering hug, swirling him around and being at least moderately careful not to step on the pokemon that was dancing around Zacharie's feet. "Welcome to our humble aboat! Er- abode, somethin'! How was the trip here, you tired? Thirsty? We got juice! Lotsa juice! Nice to see ya' kid!" And Vincent didn't put him down until he'd planted an obnoxious and loud kiss to the top of his head.

Vincent made sure to ruffle up Zacharie's hair once he was on his feet again, then dropped down to his knees to pet Peldes too. "And wonderful t'see you too! We got juice, water, alcohol! Anythin' y'like!" He grinned at the Absol, then at Zacharie, "Don't think your brother wants you havin' any though. But we've got cake! Come in, come in!" Vincent stood back up and pushed the door open wide, ushering Zacharie and Peldes in. He attempted plucking the parcels out of Zacharie's hands as he entered, too.
"No unnecessary trouble for family, kid! All worth it to have you here. First Christmas with th'whole family, brings tears to my eyes!" Vincent made a dramatic sniff, then carried Zacharie's things off and delivered them under the tree. "Now, make yourself at home! Take your jacket off, throw it, uh, somewhere! Peldes, don't mind the grouches we've got lurkin' around somewhere. Got at least one nice pokemon somewhere 'round here, make some friends!"
Vincent looked back at Zacharie and just smiled at him for a moment and lowered his voice. "Really, we're glad t'have you. Andre should be ready in just a moment."

"Carrots and celery and dip! In the kitchen! Don't just eat cake!" Vincent said, patting Andre's cheek as he walked off. He turned back to Zacharie, "I have an entire vegetable tray! It's good for you. You must be so much healthier than Andre, asking for water! Maybe you can teach him a thing or two!" Vincent laughed and followed Andre into the kitchen, fetching Zacharie a glass of water, then plucking a lemon slice from his tray of healthy snacks(it was kept very separate from Andre's choice snacks), and sticking it on the glass. He offered the glass to Zacharie with a dramatic bow.
"We'll have to go over the house rules sometime, Zacharie," Vincent said with a mischievous grin. He looked at Andre, prepared for the exasperation, but hey! The kid had to learn sometime! "We'll go easy on you for now since it's your first big ol' official visit! But the first rule you gotta remember..." He quieted himself, whispering in a hushed voice like he was speaking the name of some dark lord of magic, then yelled, "...No mercy! Yeah!" And he clapped at his own obviously hilarious remark. "But we'll go easy! Just this once!"

Andre was also only half paying attention to Vincent as he carefully decorated his cake. "Mmn, yes." He agreed absently, when Vincent brought up going over the house rules. He should have known better than to just blindly agree with what the blond was saying though.
At the loud exclamation Andre's hand jerked in surprise, sending frosting sloppily careening over the side of the cake. "Vincent!" He snapped, startling even more by the loud shatter of glass. The kitchen was silent for a few stunned seconds before the information broker was tossing aside the frosting bag and making his way over to his little brother. "It's alright, I'm not angry...at you." He sent the blond a heated glare and smacked him upside the head as he passed. Hard. Hey...rule number one. "Oh dear..." He tsked softly, eyeing the glass at Zacharie's feet before shrugging. "Hold still, dear." He reached out, caught the teen under his arms and easily lifted him into the air. "Aaaaah!! Andre don't!" The smaller Dubois exclaimed, but luckily enough didn't flail. Andre carefully set his little brother beside Vincent with a little huff of amusement. "I wouldn't drop you, Zacharie." He chuckled, smoothing back the others hair before looking up at Vincent. "Go find the dust pan...I think I saw it in the hall closet."

Vincent couldn't help but laugh after the whole tense silence, interrupting himself with an "ow!" When Andre smacked him, but then clasping a hand on Zacharie's shoulder when Andre set him down next too him. "Aww, what's life without a little fun, huh? I'll get it, hold on! Is the broom still stuck on the shower ceiling? Never mind, I'll find it!" Vincent laughed and walked off to get everything. He came back a few minutes later after a loud crash and the wind of something breaking... but didn't offer any explanation.
"It was lodged between my mattresses! Let's get this fun little hazard cleaned up, yeah?" Vincent reached over and smacked Andre's behind with the broom before he started cleaning up the need. Rule number one, right? "So!! Andre, what do you say we get right to the fun stuff and open presents?" Vincent asked excitedly as he threw out the broken glass and grabbed paper towels to soak up the water. He grinned at Zacharie, "I got you some things no kid should live without!"
