due to covid vinnie couldn't visit his family, i knew that took a major toll on him since his family was super important to him. christmas was next week and the usual cheery happy vinnie was now a sad gloomy vinnie.
usually he would be so excited to decorate the house and bake cookies and watch the orginal basic christmas movies, me on the other hand well lets just say i didn't love christmas. reasoning for this was because every christmas something bad happened.
when i was seven my uncle burnt himself trying to deep-fry the turkey, then when i was nine my grandma got the news she had esophageal cancer. then the next christmas she had died. then when i was 15 i broken my neck from festive activities lets just say i no longer enjoy ice skating.
but i knew vinnie loved christmas and this year was gonna be hard on him, so i decided to pick him up his favourite sugar cookies and hot chocolate. though the stores were pack it was surprisingly easy to get the two items.
walking into sway gaming i made a bolt for vinnies room, i enter his room to see his body stiff as he cries. i frown placing the two holiday snacks on one of the night tables. he glances at me before wiping his tears away.
"hey hey hey no don't do that love" i frown taking his face in my hands, he bits his lip trying not to cry some more, i frown letting him cry into my chest.
"oh baby its gonna be okay" i whisper running my hand through his light auburn curls he sniffles leaning back.
i wipe his tears before kissing his face, "don't cry my love" i whisper hugging him, he frowns at me.
"im sorry" he whispers and i shake my head, "never apologize for showing your emotions baby" i say and he nods sitting up against his headboard.
"i brought cookies and hot chocolate" i say and a smirk appears on his face making me smile.
"thank you" he whispers biting into the soft cookie, he looks at the half eaten cookie before looking at me, "wants sum" he asks with his mouth full, crumbs falling on the sheets making me scrunch my nose up.
"no thank you baby" i smile before picking the crumbs off his hoodie, "and don't speak with your mouth full love" i scold and he mumbles a quick sorry.
"its okay" i chuckle and he continues eating the sugary cookie, "wanna facetime your family?" i ask and he nods excitedly, i awe as i grab the mac book off his nightstand.
i enter the password before clicking facetime, i click his moms contact before positioning the laptop at an angle where they would be able to see us clearly.
after ringing for a good ten seconds the hacker family pops up on the screen, maria is sat next to nate on the couch, reggie is on the floor in front of them, they're all wearing matching pjs making vinnie frown. it was his favourite family tradition, dressing up in cozy pjs and watching movies.
"vin love remember that Christmas coloured bag i sent you?" his mother asks making me raise a brow as vinnie nods, "go open it" she says smiling and vinnie gets up running towards his closet.
"no way!" he exclaims making me look towards the closet door confused, vinnie walks out in the matching pjs his family's wearing. i smile as he looks so happy.
"baby theres a pair for you too!" vinnie says handing me the red and black plaid pants and a black cropped t-shirt. vinnie motions for you to go put it on so you giggle getting up and walking towards the bathroom.

its hours later and you and vinnie just ended the facetime call, you had fallen asleep and hour ago the hackers not minding one bit. vinnie had explained how hard you had been working these past couple months and the stress had been taking most of your energy.
after hanging up he plugged the laptop in before tucking you in, he placed a soft kiss on your head before pulling the fluffy blanket over you, he carefully and quietly walked to the washroom doing his night-time routine. after completing that task he carefully slipped into bed beside you before letting himself drift into a deep sleep himself.
