To say you were upset was an understatement.

You and your parents had been planning for them to fly out to London for Christmastime for three months now, but today, December 24th, they revealed two hours before their flight that they wouldn't be able to make it. Christmas was ruined...or so you thought.

You're in your room moping, when you get a phone call. You sigh, seeing that it's your boyfriend, Niall, and hesitantly pick up the phone.

"Hello?" you mumble. You were in no mood to talk, not even with your boyfriend of almost two years.

"Hey Monami. I was wondering if you wanted to come over for dinner?" You can practically see Niall grinning on the other end of the phone.

"Look Niall, I'm not really in the–"he cuts you off.

"Babe, I know you're upset about your parents, but please? It's Christmas! You can't be sad on Christmas."

"Niall, I–"

"Please?" Niall begs. Finally, you give in. You couldn't resist him.

"Okay, alright. I'll be there in thirty," you tell him. He cheers on the other end of the line and the two of you say 'I love you' and 'goodbye' before hanging up.

You groan before standing from your bed and walking over to your closet. It's cold and snowy out so you choose a dark red, long sleeved dress to wear over black leggings and black boots. You fix your hair into a braid and put on some light makeup on before grabbing your bag and going downstairs. You go to your garage and get into your car, going over to Niall's home (the two of you were trying to move in together, but, unfortunately, you couldn't find anyone who was willing to buy your tiny house). Once you're there, Niall opens the door before you even get a chance to ring the doorbell.

"Hey Monami," he kisses you sweetly on the lips as you step inside. You smile at him, trying to act happy for his benefit, as the two of you pull away, and you instantly catch a whiff of something delicious.

"Mmm something smells good," you say as you take off your coat and hang it up. Niall beams at you.

"Steak and potatoes. I started cooking before I called you, so it should be done soon," Niall explains as you nod. "You look beautiful."

You blush and, this time, give him a genuine smile. "Thank you."

Niall had started a fire in the living room so the two of you cuddle on the couch in front of the fireplace and sip hot cocoa (that Niall had also prepared) while you wait for dinner to be done. You were actually starting to enjoy yourself a little, and caught yourself admiring Niall's Christmas tree (that the two of you decorated together a few weeks ago) several times.

After awhile, Niall excuses himself to finish up the last minute dinner preparations and the two of you move to the dining room. It's warm, cozy, and you can see the snowflakes falling from outside a big window. You and Niall sit across from each other and eat silently, simply enjoying each other's company. That is, until Niall suddenly stops eating, and groans.

"What is it, Ni?" You look at him in confusion.

"I forgot the napkins," Niall sighs. "I'll be right back."

You chuckle to yourself and sip red wine as Niall gets up from his seat and disappears into the kitchen. A moment later, he's back with two napkins in hand.

"Here," he smiles, handing you your napkin as he sits back down. You thank him and take it.

As you unfold the napkin to place it in your lap, you gasp as something falls out. A ring. Your eyes widen as you left the golden band up and look at Niall, who's grinning and blushing all at the same time.

"I love you Monami, and I want you to be mine forever. Will you give me the greatest Christmas present of them all and become my wife?"

You continue to stare at the ring in silence for a moment, before looking at Niall with a grin on your face and tears in your eyes. "Yes Niall, I'd be honored to become your wife."

Niall gets up from his seat and embraces you, kissing you gently. As the two of you pull away, you lay your head on his chest.

"Niall?"

"Yes, my beautiful fiancée?"

"You've turned today into the best Christmas I've ever had."
