Day 5 of fluffmas!
Summary: Matt proposes to you during a cozy family Secret Santa night, turning the holiday into the most magical moment of your life.
You were curled up on the couch with a warm mug of hot chocolate, the scent of cinnamon and pine lingering in the cozy living room. Matt’s entire family was gathered around the glowing fireplace, its gentle crackle adding to the holiday charm. Twinkling lights lined the walls, and stockings hung perfectly along the mantle. It was finally time for the big reveal, Secret Santa gift exchange.
You smiled as Mary Lou’s name was called, and you stood up excitedly, picking up the gift you had wrapped just for her. She opened the soft tissue paper, pulling out a pair of fluffy slippers, a matching pajama set, and a three wick holiday candle. Her eyes lit up as she looked up at you.
“Oh, sweetheart! These are perfect!” she exclaimed, standing up and hugging you tightly. “You’re such a sweet girl, thank you, thank you!”
You blushed and sat back down, heart full from making her so happy. One by one, gifts were exchanged, and laughter filled the room. Eventually, only one person hadn’t given their gift,Matt.
You turned your head and squinted at him, already grinning. “Oh my god, baby, you had me this whole time?”
He chuckled and stood up, brushing imaginary dust off his pants. “I’m gonna go get your gift,” he said nonchalantly as he walked out of the room.
You waited, giddy, your hands folded in your lap. But when he came back, he wasn’t holding anything.
You tilted your head. “Matt?”
He held his hand out toward you. “Baby, come here.”
Your brows furrowed, but you slid your hand into his, letting him guide you in front of the fireplace. Everyone’s eyes were suddenly on you, and the room fell unusually quiet.
“Matt, what are you doing?” you whispered, your voice barely audible over the soft pop of the firewood.
He held both your hands and looked into your eyes, his thumb brushing over your knuckles with so much care.
“I love you,” he began. “I’ve loved you since the moment I met you. And I’ve known for a long time that I want to spend forever with you.”
Your breath caught, eyes wide as realization began to sink in. Your lips trembled, and your eyes welled up.
You glanced over your shoulder, Mary Lou had her hands covering her mouth, already crying.
“Matty-” you whispered, your voice cracking with a soft pout, blinking through tears.
Then, he dropped to one knee.
From his back pocket, he pulled out a small velvet box, flipping it open to reveal the most beautiful ring you’d ever seen.
“Will you marry me?”
You gasped, a soft “oh my god” escaping your lips before you nodded quickly and shouted, “Yes!!”
You jumped into his arms as everyone clapped and cheered. He caught you with ease, lifting you off the ground and spinning you around as he kissed you deeply.
“I love you,” he whispered in your ear.
“I love you more,” you whispered back, still crying, still laughing, still processing.
Mary Lou came up, tears rolling down her cheeks. She hugged you tightly. “Welcome to the family, sweetheart.”
Jimmy, Justin, Chris, and Nick all came up to hug you, one by one. Nick, your best friend, grabbed your hands and jumped up and down excitedly with you.
“DUDE! You’re gonna be my official sister in law!” he shouted, and you both squealed like kids.
It wasn’t until all the commotion calmed that you looked down at your hand and really saw the ring.
“Wow, Matt. It’s beautiful,” you said in awe, your fingers gently twisting in the light.
He smiled, brushing a tear from your cheek. “Beautiful like you.”
He leaned in and kissed your cheek gently.
Chris walked up, phone in hand, grinning from ear to ear. “I got the whole thing,” he said, showing you the video preview. “You’re gonna wanna watch this back later.”
You laughed through the tears, snuggling into Matt’s side as he wrapped his arm around you protectively. The fire crackled behind you, your new family surrounding you, and your heart fuller than it had ever been.
Christmas had never felt so magical.
