Part One:

» [Luhan] The Gift

» LOVE ON CHRISTMAS EVE THEME

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Jagiya~" You heard Luhan call out while you were busy preparing foods in the kitchen. Before you could even answer, he was already running down the stairs and jumped to wrap you in a warm back hug.

"Jagiya~" He sing-songed, making you laugh. He was having one of his cuddle attacks again.

"Mmmm, you smell like pie." He buried his face into your hair, and you finally turned around to pinch his cheeks, smiling.

"Jagi, I really do want to cuddle right now, but we have to prepare the food. Our parents are gonna arrive soon, and we wouldn't want them to see an empty dinner table, right?"

He smiled and pecked you on the lips, catching you by surprise. There was something about the happy glow in his eyes. It was brighter than you have ever seen before.

"Don't worry much, jagi. They said they'll bring foods as well. They don't want my jagi get tired on a Christmas eve."

He smiled, and your stomach started fluttering. You have been in a relationship for almost a year and yet, you could still get these fluttery feelings whenever he smiles.

"Well then, at least we have to clean up. The pie will be out the oven in ten minutes and by then, we're done." You pecked him as well before turning to check the time in your watch. It's almost ten. You were about to go to cleaning, but froze when you noticed the ever so familiar bracelet you were wearing.

'We are one'

You smiled. The engraved words now seem to have a deeper meaning compared to that first night in the gift store. Now that you think of it, that Christmas eve seemed to be more magical than any Christmas you have ever had.

You felt Luhan wrap an arm around your waist as he gently held your wrist to look at the bracelet.  "Do you know what I thought when I saw you there at the counter that night, holding that bracelet in the glass box?"

He flashed a soft smile before continuing.

"I thought I was just seeing things. I thought, 'is that girl real? If I move , would she disappear?' Because babe, you were the prettiest girl I have ever seen."

You bit your lip, not sure whether to feel flattered or embarrassed. He placed his arm so your couple bracelets were side by side.

"You know... I thought you were not real too." You blushed and couldn't meet his eyes. "With your pink hair and all. I actually wondered if you were an angel."

You ran a hand through his soft hair, which is now dyed brown, but still equally dazzling. It was his turn to smile shyly. Gawd this conversation is getting too cheesy, but it made you feel like the happiest girl on earth. Luhan turned you around so both of you were face to face.

"I love you so much, _______. Ever since that second I laid my eye on you."

"I know, jagi. I love you too." He leaned in to give you a kiss. He wanted to prolong the moment, but you had to pull back because you really had to set the table already. Laughing, he went around and started grabbing some plates. It would be your first Christmas Eve with Luhan's parents, so you were determined to make it the most special as you can.

A little past ten, your parents finally arrived with a huge bowl of fruit salad, and a fruitcake. It made you almost burst into tears of happiness as you saw that yours and Luhan's parents were getting along really well. It was like they were already BFFs.

"Eomma, how was the show?" Luhan went to kiss his mom on the cheeks. Apparently, they went to the theater earlier together to watch a Christmas Special Musical, but you and Luhan decided to stay at home to prepare things and well... have quality time together.

"Oh _______ dear, you don't have to be shy!" His mom laughed and pulled you in for a warm hug. "We're one big family now. You can treat me like your real mom. Well, your real second mom."

She glanced at your mom and they both chuckled. The dads headed straight to the kitchen to grab some beers, and immediately found their comfortable space at the front porch. Your mom came up and patted your hair.

"It's ok honey, no need to be nervous. It's just family dinner." You tried to smile and nod. She looked at you with sparkling eyes for a few seconds, before leaving to set the food down on the table. You stood there, quite weirded out. What's up with people with sparkling eyes tonight?

Soon, the six of you were all seated around the table. The moms and dads were facing each other, talking about stuff and just having a good time. You were seated beside Luhan, and for some reason, you didn't know what to say or what to do. Luhan softly nudged you.

"Jagi, are you ok?"

"Uhh... yeah..." He leaned closer because you couldn't meet his eyes.

"Are you sure? Do you feel unwell?"

You forced a smile. "I just feel nervous, I guess. I'm afraid I'll mess up and do something stupid." You can't help it. You're awkwardness was all to blame. He just softly smiled and squeezed your hand, understanding by now how exactly your mind works. His angelic smiles and soft touches always worked in calming you down.

"Awww, they're so cute!" Your head shot up as Mrs. Lu cooed. Your mom second the motion.

"My honey is soooo lucky to have your son! All her life, she was this awkward little patootie and rarely speaks to people, but suddenly, when we failed to accompany her on Christmas she meets this really nice boy!"

"Moooooom!" You whined. Oh God she is embarrassing you again. Luhan softly chuckled beside you.

"Do you know what Luhan told me last year the very next day after Christmas eve?" Mr. Lu suddenly spoke. "He said, 'appa, I met this girl in town last night. She was so pretty and nice. I can't stop thinking about her. Do you think I like her?'"

It was Luhan's turn to whine. Oh great, now they're embarrassing us both. 

"If you two get married soon I won't even hesitate to agree." Your dad said. For some reason, Luhan suddenly tensed up. Your mom groaned.

"Oh come on Hun, that's supposed to be a secret!"

Your brows furrowed. "Um... guys? What's happening?"

They all looked at Luhan expectantly. Luhan seemed flabbergasted, but managed to look at you. He looked absolutely nervous.

"Uhh... well..."

"Come on honey! You can do it!" Your mom cheered him on. Luhan suddenly stood up, pulling out something from his back pocket. Then, he bet down on one knee, holding out a small velvet case with a silver ring sitting in it. He took a very deep breath.

"_______, ever since that night in that store, I have grown to love you more and more each day I spend time with you. You make me feel happy in ways I never thought possible. It's been a year, but I still feel like I want more of you. To have you all to myself for all eternity. I know we made a promise that we will always be one, but can we make that 'always' a 'Forever and Ever'?

________, will you marry me?"

You couldn't help but sit there, dumbstruck. You weren't sure if you were just hallucinating. You looked around to see your parents, looking like they were about to cry in happiness.

"You guys... you knew about this?" They furiously nodded.

"All of them already said yes. But it's never an official decision without your answer, of course." Luhan smiled sheepishly. Then slowly, you got over the shock, and this overwhelming feeling of happiness flooded your veins. You felt your eyes clouding with tears.

"Yes, Luhan. We'll forever and ever be one."

"Jinjja???" He looked really surprised. You choked out a laugh.

"Were you expecting me to say no?" In a split second, he was already hugging you. Laughing, you slightly pulled away to give him a long, loving kiss. It was probably the most special kiss ever.

"Oh, the ring. Almost forgot." He laughed at himself as he held your hand. He slipped the beautiful ring into your ring finger, and you immediately marvelled at it. It had something engraved.

Forever and Ever.

"I'm already wearing mine." He lifted his hand. You were about to pull into a kiss again, when the moms' sobs pulled your attention.

"Omo, my baby is all grown up now!" Your mom wailed, making you laugh.

"I want 4 cute babies, okay?"

"Moooooom!" Luhan whined at his mom. Oh my, this will be one heck of a fun family. You turned to look at Luhan, and he kissed the tip of your nose. You giggled and pulled in for a tight hug.

We are one, Forever and Ever.
