*Garroth's POV*
~26 Days Later~

It's Christmas eve. The holiday Laurance and I have been anticipating. It's finally here...

And in a couple more days, we'll have been dating for four months.

Everything is so surreal.

To imagine, I've been dating my long-term crush for this long. It feels like a dream. Like, we aren't in reality. Perhaps, maybe it is. But, it feels all too real- to be a dream.

"Merry Christmas, Love~" Laurance happily sang, throwing his arm around my shoulder.

"Laurance, it isn't Christmas, yet. It's only the 24th. Still gotta wait another day," I giggled, kissing his cheek.

"I know, Beautiful. I'm just excited. I get the spend the holidays, with you."

I leaned my head on his shoulder, still giggling a little. Everything has been so peaceful lately. And, everything has been at ease- since we have told all of our friends that we're together.

"Hey, Garroth..," Laurance was speaking in an almost whisper-like tone.

"Yes..?" I looked up at him.

"What do you want for Christmas? That isn't a material possession?" He asked me.

"Uh..," I smirked to myself, knowing the answer. "How 'bout a kiss under the mistletoe, from my awesome boyfriend?"

Laurance laughed, grabbing my hand. I got off of his shoulder, and he dragged me over to the kitchen door. Right above it, was the plant itself. Our mistletoe.

I giggled, standing up on my tiptoes. "Who said you were the awesome boyfriend I was talking about?"

"I'm not?" Laurance smirked, leaning his forehead on mine.

"Nope, you weren't. I was referring to my other boyfriend. You know...the cool one," I joked.

"When did you get another boyfriend?"

"Vylad and Dante's wedding," I teased. "We had super epic, and hot make-out session."

I winked at him. I could see Laurance get slightly flustered. I knew my advantages over him. I could either be super cute, or just mess with him until I have him under my wraps. I've lived with him long enough to learn these things.

"O-oh, is that so? I'm sure I'm a better kisser, than him, though," Laurance wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Hm? Well, then. Prove it."

Before any more words could be spoken, Laurance smashed his lips onto mine. I melted into the kiss, throwing my arms around his neck. And even though it was freezing, due to the cold winter, I felt warm inside. Everything just felt right, in this moment in time...

Because, I am with the love of my life.

And everything is perfect.

~The Next Day~

"Merry Christmas, Beautiful!" I exclaimed, engulfing Garroth in a hug.

Garroth was giddy with excitement as well. He was still in his pyjamas, his hair not done. Which, might I add, was an extremely rare sight to see. And, that probably meant, that later today would end with us being in the bathroom for two hours.

I would have to sit there, and watch Garroth fix up his hair- for hours on end. Irene, help me. But, it is the holidays. So, I guess I can let it slide. Just for today, though.

"Laurance, I love you~" Garroth dreamily sang, holding me tighter.

He buried his face into my chest. I chuckled, running my hand through his soft blonde locks.

"I love you, too, Garroth. Now, c'mon, let's go open our gifts to each other. Then, we can head to Aphmau's place later. She is holding a holiday party, and all of our friends are going to be there."

"Right!"

~~~

"Hey, Garroth! Laurance! Glad to see you could make it!" Aphmau greeted us, allowing us inside.

Her house was beautifully decorated, with holiday decorations. She had a snack bar, along with a punch bowl. Everyone was chatting with each other, enjoying themselves. I also was  experiencing major dejá vu.

When Garroth and I...

No, forget that. We already established, that our first kiss was on our porch. That other one didn't count.

"Yo, Laurance! Over here!" Dante called over to me.

I nodded, walking over to him. He was leaning against the wall, his arm around Vylad's shoulder, and Vylad laying his head on Dante's shoulder.

"Hey, Dante, Vylad. How's the married life, doing for ya?" I crossed my arms, smiling at the couple.

"It's going great. I love being married to this dork," Dante smiled, kissing the top of Vylad's head.

"Aww~" I cooed.

"So, Laurance," a smirk appeared across Vylad's face. "When are you gonna propose to my big brother?"

I felt my face heat up, and I nervously laughed. "Heheh...well...hopefully sometime soon..."

"Really?!" Vylad stared at me, wide-eyed.

"Y-yeah..," I scratched the back of my head, biting my bottom lip. "I love him to death, and of course I wanna marry him. Not sure of the right time. I actually, almost did...twice now. But, I either played it off as a joke, or just scratched the idea."

"Wow...I see..," Vylad looked in some off-direction, pondering something.

"So, Dante. How did you propose to Vylad?" I turned my attention to him.

"Well..," Dante thought on the question for a minute. "When I picked him up from the airport, one time. I'm not gonna get into much detail, but I proposed to him, right when he found me. There was a lot of cheering, as Vylad said yes and ran into my arms."

"It was absolutely romantic," Vylad added on.

"How precious..."

"What times did you try?" Dante rose an eyebrow at me.

"Well...the first time, we were talking about marriage. I thought it'd be the best opportunity, but quickly realized that Garroth wasn't ready. The second, was during our three month anniversary. I wanted to, especially then, but...I lost my courage. But, I'm gonna keep trying. Garroth knows how I feel...but he isn't ready himself. Maybe one day, though..."

*Garroth's POV*

"That party was so much fun!" I giggled, running up the stairs of our porch.

Laurance trailed behind me, chuckling slightly. I started to open the door, but Laurance stood there awkwardly. I turned around to face him, raising an eyebrow.

"Laurance?"

"Hey, Garroth..," Laurance cleared his throat, his face a light shade of red.

"A-are you alright..?"

"Me? I'm fine...but..," Laurance walked closer to me.

I shut our front door, staring into Laurance's eyes. The eyes of the man I have fallen for. He put his hands on my shoulders, a tiny smile tugging at his lips.

"L-Laurance..," my heart was beating out of my chest.

"Garroth..," Laurance slightly sighed, his smile fading. "...remember that night...when we confessed to each other..?"

"Yes...I do."

"We shared our real first kiss, in this very spot."

I didn't even realize...

"And...Garroth..," Laurance's smile returned once again, but still slightly faltered. "I just want to say...that we have fallen in love."

"We have, haven't we?" I chuckled a little.

"I love you, Garroth Ro'Meave. And, I always will."

"...I love you, too..."
