Christmas Surprise

700+ Words

Darryl POV

The anxiety started to build the moment I set foot on the plane. I hated planes, but I wanted to surprise Zak for Christmas.

As soon as I was in my seat I shoved my earbuds into my ears and pressed play  on my playlist.

I was too nervous to sleep for most of the 5 and a half hour flight, but I eventually slipped into unconsciousness, although it didn't last long.

When the plane finally landed I rushed out and into the crowded airport.

I called an Uber and waited patiently out front for it to arrive. As soon as it did I climbed in and repeated the address to the driver. We had a pleasant conversation about candles for some reason and he dropped me off. I gave him a nice tip then he drove off.

I entered the apartment block and held my breath as I stopped in front of a door. I held out my hand and knocked briskly on the door.

I relaxed when I heard the familiar voice of my best friend shout, "Coming!"

A few seconds passed, then the door swung open to reveal Zak. His fluffy black hair seemed poofier in real life and his mocha brown eyes gleamed.

His eyes settled on me and he froze. "Bad…?"

"Merry Christmas Muffin." I smiled widely.

Before I knew what was happening I was nearly knocked over by Zak hugging me.

I giggled. "You're sure excited to see me."

"Oh shut up." He grumbled.

Zak pulled back and led me inside. He sat down on the couch and patted the spot beside him.

I took the seat and we both just… sat. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"Soo… uh do you want to watch a movie or something after you settle in?" Zak shuffled awkwardly.

I stood. "Sure! Uhh could you show me where I'm staying at?"

Zak nodded then led me down a short hallway. "Okay so, the thing is, since I didn't know you were coming, the guest bedroom is kinda messy, so for tonight you can sleep in my room and I'll sleep on the couch."

"No muffin! That's not fair! It's my fault. I'll sleep on the couch."

Zak glared at me playfully, which I returned, he eventually gave in and led me back to the living room.

I sat back down on the couch and Zak and I debated over which movie to watch. Eventually we decided on Elf or Frozen. I wanted Frozen, and Zak wanted Elf. I eventually gave in and Zak turned on Elf.

About halfway through the movie I felt a light weight on my shoulder. I glanced over and noticed Zak had his head on my shoulder. Thank goodness that it was dark, otherwise my bright red face would be plainly visible.

Zak didn't seem to take his eyes off the movie, but I could no longer focus. I couldn't seem to tear my mind from the fact that I was basically snuggling with my best friend, mere hours after meeting him in real life for the first time. My heart was racing and butterflies exploded in my stomach.

Neither of us moved after the movie ended. I looked down to find him asleep. I moved and scooped him up. Carrying him bridal style to his room. At this point he was in a half awake, half asleep, state.

"Darry~ I looooovvvveeee you. I'm so glad you came." He mumbled.

I looked away, blood rushing to my face.

I set him down on the bed. I started toward the door.

"Nooo. Wait Darry! Stay and cuddle me!" Zak groaned.

I shook my head. "Z-Zak! No you numpty muffin!"

"Pweeeeeaaaaessseee?" Zak pouted.

I tried not to look at him but as soon as I saw his face my heart melted. "Fine you mean muffin."

I pulled back his blanket and slid in beside him. Zak buried his face in my chest and I started to feel like I was on fire.

I nervously wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him closer.

You know what? I like this.

A steady feeling of comfort settled over me as I cuddled with my muffin.

I placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

"I love you. More than you know."
