Oh, this is so good! You gave us a typical Brian, all grumpy and Grinchy (terrific title, btw) at first, but sweetly vulnerable and coming through for Justin in the end. Love how worried he was and how Justin made him work for it.

His apology was so perfect and Brian-like: "If I eat the cookies, will you come home?", "If I get a new tree?", and the best for last: "I could also put the mistletoe up again." I just wanna hug him; he wants his Sunshine back so badly!

I'm putting this in my favorites, it's so sweet! ♥
