Hero and I were strolling helplessly round London looking for Christmas presents for everyone. I hate Christmas with a burning passion, I hate the whole you buy for me I buy for you shit. I wasn't complaining because I got to spend time with Hero and I got well earned retail therapy.

"You should get those" Hero chuckles pointing to a hideous pair of leopard print joggers.

"I would never, there £200 Hero. £200 to look like a fucking animal" I say clearly shocked at the price.

"Okay, let's go to the shoes. I know why you came into this shit hole" he jokes.

Selfridges was far from a shit hole, it was were ones well earned money goes to burn quite literally. I excitedly run over to the limited edition converse section and I start looking over them. Hero saunters over and throws himself on a chair his back facing a blonde haired girl. I wander further into the converse section trying to find the shoes I wanted.

I eventually find them picking them up and spinning round bumping into someone. I take a step back quickly collect myself and look back at what I hit. An oddly familiar face staring down at me with a weird expression on his face, probably the same as my own. I give him a small smile and walk round him back to Hero.

"Here" I say handing Hero the shoe.

"Why are you giving me this?" He asks looking between me and the shoe.

"Well you've been sat there" I check my fake watch "about five minutes so it's your turn to go get the person so I can buy my shoes" I tell him.

"The whole point of Christmas is to buy for other people" he says standing up towering over me.

"And I'm Santa Claus" I reply sarcastically earning a deep laugh from him.

"I'll go find someone, you just put your feet up Santa and relax" he jokes back walking away.

"Bye Rudolf!" I shout after him and he flips me off while laughing.

I pull my phone from my pocket to see I had no texts or calls. I aimlessly scroll through my social media's trying to find something to occupy my time while I wait for Hero to get back from his adventure.

"Are you Midas Tiffin?" A girl not much younger than me asks.

"Erm, yeah" I say looking up from my phone.

"Can I have a photo please?" She asks politely and I nod.

I get up from my seat and stand beside her, she give me her phone and I take a few photos with her. I give her a quick hug and then she leaves, the girl who was sat behind me was still there and she kept sighing heavily.

"Ruel if you don't hurry up I'm gonna leave you here!" She shouts into the shoe section.

That name was so familiar. I stop thinking when Hero returns with a yellow bag and a big grin on his face. I glare at him already knowing what he did. He takes a seat beside me and hands me the bag with a cheesy smile on his face.

"I know what you did Hero" I say bluntly.

"Merry Christmas Midas" he cheers doing jazz hands.

"Your not funny, I would slap you right now but we're in public" I say through gritted teeth.

"You aren't the only one gonna be slapping someone" the girl smiles facing us.

"You two are cute by the way my brother walks round looking at shoes for hours, I just order them online but his size 14 arse can't" she laughs.

I nonchalantly point to Hero and nod my head. He slaps my hand away from me and make a scoff noise. His feet weren't even that big, he was only a size 8 but hell 14 this guy must be a beanstalk.

"My feet aren't actually that big, I'm a size eight" Hero says.

"Ruel just has big feet, and he's way too big for his own good" the girl smiles.

"I'm Coco by the way" she says introducing herself.

"I'm Midas, this is Hero" I introduce the two of us.

"Coco can you see if they have these shoes online my phone died" the guy says walking towards us.

Now I know why I recognise him. I look to Hero and nod to the exit but he shakes his head, I want to die so bad right now. This was Harrison's friend the one that lives in Sydney, the fucking singer that's originally from here. Oh how I want to die.

"Oh my god, your Midas aren't you" he says realising my face.

"Told you we should of stayed" Hero whispers and I glare at him.

"Yeah, I am" I turn to Ruel and smile at him.

"I'm sorry about Harrison" he says sincerely.

"It's fine, nothing this big guy can't handle" I say trying to smack Hero but when I look he's walking away from me on the phone.

When I get home you are having it Beauregard. You are so dead beyond dead leaving me with these two people I barely know. I look back to them and smile softly, Ruel was sat beside Coco looking at her phone leaving me staring at the ceiling of this stupid shop.

"Let's go Macho man" Hero smiles walking towards me.

"I'm Santa remember" I say rolling my eyes at him.

"I think you'll find I'm Santa, I just bought you those shitty shoes" he grins.

"Oh Beauregard Faulkner, your getting your ass whooped when we get home" I warn him and he slings and arm over my shoulder.

We start to walk from the section and out towards the exit, playfully shoving each other occasionally. We both hop in a cab and head home deciding we'd both had enough. I headed to my room and wrap everything up I'd bought hiding it in my room so no one can find it.
