"Would you hold the ladder steady!"

"I am holding it steady!"

Jose sat back on the couch and sipped his hot cocoa with a smile. He thought about offering his help but then again he would much rather just sit back and watch the sparks fly as his two young lovers attempted to decorate the Christmas Tree while, as the American's say, fighting like cats and dogs. They were at that moment trying to put the star up on the top with Donald standing high up on the ladder that Panchito was holding.

"Don't drop the Estrella de Navidad, Donald," Panchito called up.

Donald shot him a glare. "Well if you don't want me to drop it then hold the ladder steady!"

Jose chuckled. To anyone looking on them at that moment they might have thought that Panchito and Donald were too different to be in love. But Jose knew that the truth was that Donald and Panchito were very much the same, not that they would admit it. They were both strong-willed, hard headed, and opinionated as well as loveable, caring, and honest men. They both had tempers but Donald's was a bit more vocal, which was probably why they fought so much. But then again maybe fighting and teasing each other was the way they showed love for each other. Jose's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of something shattering.

"I told you to hold the ladder steady!" Donald snapped looking down at the shattered Christmas bulb on the floor.

"It is not my fault!" Panchito said. "You were the one who was supposed to be careful."

"How am I supposed to be careful when you can't hold the ladder right!"

Jose chuckled as he again sipped at his cocoa. Yep, it was love alright.
