Cute little night with III as you decorate your appartment.
You have been so busy all of December and it has been so long that on the way home from work one day you notice that it's the 23rd which you curse to yourself. Spending all day working, making your apartment was making it reflect the time of year it is with it just being bare and just looking like it normally does. Sighing as you pull up III’s contact on your phone and pressing the button to call him. The phone rings a few times before he finally picks up, “What's up?” You smile as you hear his voice pass through the speaker before beginning to walk home, “Want to come over and help me decorate my apartment?” You can hear his smile through the phone, “Absolutely. I’ll go grab some pizza from our favorite place before I head over.” Smiling at the thought of pizza made your stomach grumble, “Deal, and you already know what I want?” He gasps on the other end of the line in shock, “You don’t think I know what you get every single time we get pizza?” You laugh because you know without a second thought that he knows exactly what you want, “Fine, I’ll see you at my place. Bye.” He says his goodbye before you hang up and start to walk home quicker.

Unlocking your door and throwing all your stuff on the floor near the door, you slowly take your hair down that was slowly giving you a headache and start to walk over to the bathroom. Grabbing some nice pj’s that had little reindeer on them and setting them on the counter as you turn the water on and undressing. Stepping into the shower as soon as it gets warm enough, which makes you almost immediately relax into the water that is flowing around your body. Brushing through your hair first to untangle it and then eventually onto your body wash which smells exactly like cranberries and brown sugar. Taking a deep breath of the soap as you wash over your body and let it flow off completely before turning the water off and wrapping yourself in the fluffy towel that hugs your body. You start to brush out your hair and work on your skin stuff before getting changed but before you could even change, the door bell is ringing nonstop which is a sign that III just got there.
Quickly running over to the door, trying to not drop the towel in the process, you open up the door to III on the other side grinning from ear to ear, “Hi.” Rolling your eyes as you watch him walk over to the coffee table in front of the tv and placing down two boxes of pizza. He finally looks back up at you and realizes you had just gotten out of the shower and hadn't had time to change which makes his cheeks turn a light pink as he starts to scratch the back of his head, “I’m going to go change.” He nods as you turn back to your bedroom and shut the door to quickly change into the pjs that you had set out.
Before walking into the room, you look at III trying to act as normal as he can which makes you smile. He looks at the little reindeer pj's you have on and smiles, “I like the little dudes.” You smile down at him and pat his head, “Thank you, and they aren't little dudes there reindeer.” He smiles as he scoots over some so you can sit down next to him on the floor and look at him, “So which one is mine.” He blinks a little bit to catch up with his thoughts as he slowly passes you your box which you thank him for as you open up the box to your own personal pizza with pepperoni and jalapenos and smile at, “You know me so well.” He smiles as he picks up a slice of his pizza, “I’ve known you for over a year or so and you get the same thing every time.” Laughing as you take a bite of yours which makes you moan at how good it tastes but you hear III choke in the background. Tilting your head over to him in concern as you watch him cough,“You good?” Patting his back to help him and standing back up to go grab some water for him to clear his throat, “All good, just went down the wrong pipe.” Nodding as you sit back down again to keep eating your pizza as you chat a little bit about your day and how everything is going with the band.
After finishing your pizzas, III gets up and throws away all the trash and comes back and stands in front of you with his hands on his hips, “So, what do you want to start with?” Looking around your apartment to think about what to do first, “How about we hang up some lights first?” He nods as he puts his hand out for you to grab as he lifts you up. Smiling and pinching his cheek which you can see a slight blush go across his cheeks as you walk over to your storage room as you go to grab the box that says Christmas and drag it back into the living room.
You walk in and see III standing there with the remote in hand and pulling up a little fireplace with some nice light music in the background. Smiling as he sets down the remote and walks over to the box you brought in and starts to look though and finds the lights and picks it up, “I’ll hang these up and you can put the other ones up. I can get the tall areas because, well obviously". You laugh as you grab the other set of lights and walk into the kitchen to add some color. Looking out the kitchen, you decide to add some lights to the little island you have and to try your best to add some to the top of the cabinets. Starting with the easier part of the task, you plug in the lights as you start to attach the lights to the island and try to make it look as nice as you can with what you have. Once you think you're done, you step back and look at the work you did with a smile before moving to the cabinets.
You start to climb on your counter as carefully as you can and start to place the lights on top. Most of your focus is on not falling and making it look nice. Slowly adding everything where you want it, you don’t hear it but III sneaks up behind you and startles you which makes you jump some but his hands go to your waist to make sure you don’t fall, “Jesus III.” He smiles a little as he carefully pulls you down off the counter and sets you down on the floor, “You think I would have let you fall. Never.” Rolling your eyes with a smile as he pulls you with him to look at how the kitchen turned out, “Looks nice, I like it.”
His thumb rubs against your side as he pulls you to the living room, covering your eyes which makes you whine, “III, really?” He laughs as he stops you in the doorway and slowly uncovers your eyes to the dimmed room with colorful Christmas lights around the room which it reflects off his face when you look at him. A little smile crosses his face at your reaction, “This looks so great. Thank you.” Pulling him into a tight hug which surprises him but he quickly hugs back. Laying your head on his chest and closing your eyes and just listening to his breath for a few seconds before standing up again, “Ok so now the tree?” He nods as you turn to face the rest of the room which he take as a chance to lay his head on your shoulder. You heartbeat stutters a little bit but you quickly hide it as you look to the corner of the room next to your tv and your window, “How about that corner?” He slowly tilts his head up enough to see what corner and hums , “I like it. Do that.” Smiling as you start to walk into the room with the tree you bought when you first got your apartment but III stops you by reaching for your hand, “I’ll set the tree up and you make us some hot coco. Sounds good?” You nod at that idea as he walks to go grab the tree, leaving you alone in the dim but colorful room.
Slowly walking into the kitchen to start to warm up some water to mix in the hot coco packet, you hear III pull the fake tree past the kitchen and into the other room. Laughing as he goes by, “Need any help?” He stops moving and looks up with his cocky grin, “You don’t think I can do this?” Smiling as you shake your head as you see him flex his muscles which makes you laugh. He goes back to bringing the tree into the room and starting to set it up. Going back to the water once you know he’s good as you continue to wait for the water to heat up. The water starts to scream after a bit so you pick it up and pour some into the cups with the mixes in it. Mixing with a spoon and going to grab the extra marshmallows and whipped cream to place on top, setting the spoon in the sink before picking up both mugs to walk back into the room.
The tree is already set up quickly and the lights are already on, adding some more color to the already colorful room. Handing III one of the mugs to him which he quickly takes a sip of but before you can warn him that its hot, “Fuck, that’s hot.” Laughing as you shake your head, “III, I just made it, obviously it's going to be hot.” He glares at you as you stick your tongue out at him which makes him set down his mug and quickly throws you over his shoulder and runs around the small apartment. You quickly start to laugh as he doesn’t stop until he has done a few laps around the room before plopping down onto the couch on top of you trying to catch his breath. Laughing at the stunt he did, it quickly comes to mind on how close he is to you but you don’t say anything.
He lays on top for a minute or so before lifting his head up to meet your face, “So, time to decorate the tree.” Taking a breath before nodding which he takes as a cue to get up but not before kissing your blushed cheeks as he stands up and grabs the box with all the ornaments to hide his face that's also flushed. He grabs one of the pretty light orange glass bulbs first and looks at you first before placing it on the tree. Smiling as you stand up and picking up the next one that is a dark red and placing it on the tree, next to the orange one. Looking at each other before slowly going to grab the next one and put it on.
You have a slow conversation until all of them are on, which makes the two of you step back and look at your work, “Perfect.” He nods but tilts his head at the tree as he thinks, “It’s missing the star. I don’t think you will be able to stay up there all Christmas.” You cough as you drink your hot chocolate but hum in response, “I don’t think that would be very comfy.” He nods as he takes your mug and sets it down on the table and crouches down in front of you and pats his shoulders, “Hop on.” Laughing and shaking your head, “III, I’m not doing that. I don’t want to fall.” He looks up at you under his eyelids, “I caught you earlier, didn’t I?” You sigh and slowly nod to eventually walk over to his back and slowly get on. Before standing up, he holds your legs close to him as he stands and waits for you to get as comfy as you can before handing you the star. Taking it from his hands slowly as he walks over to the tree, holding you as tight as he can without hurting you.
Finally getting up close enough to the tree, you slowly reach out to place the silver star on top and pats at his head to let him know you're done. He looks up at the top with a smile on his face as he rubs his thumb on your calf, “Looks beautiful.” He walks over to the couch and carefully crouches so you can slide on the couch. You do so slowly and get comfy but he stays on the ground and slowly turns to you. To get a better view of his face, you sit up slightly to see him but he tilts his head up some and looks into your eyes, “Come here.” Slowly coming closer he grabs your face carefully before bringing his face an inch or so away. Looking slightly confused he takes a breath and goes to kiss you softly which you return.
He slowly pulls away and sits back fully on the floor again and closes his eyes. You watch him carefully to see his reaction but he starts to laugh and lays down laughing. Looking at him really confused at first before he stops laughing and sits up, “God, I don’t know how I finally did that.” Your eyebrows furrow in confusion before he stands up and hovers over you, “You never knew?” You smile and shake your head, “No, you aren't very secretive III. You are the worst with this type of thing." He smiles as he falls onto the couch laughing which makes you start laughing as you fall on top of him.
He catches you in his arms as you keep laughing but he takes one of your hands and holds it in his which makes you slow down, “Hey I very much mean that kiss.” A little shy smile goes across his face which makes you smile in return as you wrap your free arm around his neck, “And I meant every little bit of this kiss back.” Slowly you meet his lips again in a kiss that is just as soft as before but without as much of the nerves the two of you had before. He wraps an arm around your waist to pull you closer and holds the small of your back as he sits up with you in his lap. You break away for a second to see what he's doing but he quickly pulls you back to his lips, “Don’t move away. I don't want to stop.” Smiling into his kiss, you wrap your arms around his neck and start to play with the hair on the back of his neck which he squeezes your waist in return.
The two of you sit there kissing for a few more minutes before slowly pulling away from each other. He plops his head down on the back of the couch to catch his breath but you lay your head on his shoulder, “I don't know why that took me so long.” Shifting a little closer to get to his neck, you decide to leave little soft kisses where his jaw meets his neck. A little smile crosses his face as he slowly turns his head to you as you close your eyes and breathe him in, “I can already tell that you will be a handful.” He kisses your forehead before going back to laying his head down and reaches for your hand.
Laying in the quiet of the room with the soft sounds of his breath and the TV that still has the fireplace with music running. You can see his eyes are closed as he breathes slowly before you pull his hand up to your mouth, “Do you have anything to do in the next few days? I mean besides Christmas?” Slowly opening his eyes and looking at your face, “No, not really. I mean me and the boys have a little dinner on Christmas but that's really it.” You smile as you shift to sit up in his lap more, “How about you stay here for a few days and we can just hang around, maybe even a little fort.” He smiles and nods as he kisses your cheek before rubbing your back, “Sounds better than just staying home all day, doing nothing.” Nodding as you push some of his hair out of his face and kiss his nose, “I'm so glad I can kiss you now.” He smiles as he leans forward and whispers in your ear, “Maybe even some fun activities.” A smirk crosses his face as you laugh but go to whisper back, “We could definitely do some activities.”
