♡︎christmas

"Merry Christmas!" I announced while walking into our bedroom. He groaned out of his sleep and looked at me with furrowed eyebrows, angry that I've woken him up at 8:00 am.

"Get up, we're going to the Curtis's." I grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of bed and pushed him into the bathroom so he could take a shower and I finished wrapping the gift that I had bought him.

I poked the holes in the bottom of the wrapping paper and waited for him to finish and get out.

"Merry Christmas." He mumbled with a smile as he approached me, and I smiled bright and held out the box to him and he took it out of my hands and smiled.

"I don't need anything-" He began and I shushed him and told him to open it and he carefully tore it apart. He opened the cardboard box and out came a tiny golden retriever puppy and he laughed when it jumped on him.

"You got me a dog?" He was a lot happier than I expected him to be and I was happier too. He pulled out a tiny box and handed it to me as he pet the puppy.

"I didn't get you a dog, but it's just a little something." He said and I carefully opened it and I saw a necklace with a tiny "d" on it. I smiled and I hugged him.

"Thank you. It's perfect."

"So what are we gonna name this little guy? Wait- is it a little guy?" He asked and I laughed.

"Yeah. And it's up to you, whatever you want to name him."

"Hmm," He thought and he looked around the apartment and landed on a drawer, of course the drawer with our spare hand gun in it, "Gunner."

"We should bring him to the Curtis's, they've been keeping him for a couple days." I said and he nodded and I picked up Gunner and headed out the door towards the car.

"Did he like it?!" Ponyboy asked as soon as I stepped into the house.

"I loved it." He responded behind me, walking in. I looked at him with his jacket and my red scarf I forced him to wear when he got extremely cold.

He threw the scarf off and put the dog down and he immediately ran to Ponyboy and Johnny.

"I think he likes me!" Ponyboy said happily.

"What's this little guy's name?" Johnny asked petting him as he wiggled excitedly.

"Gunner, I let Dally name him." I smiled at Dally and he put his arm around my waist and Steve ran out from the kitchen.

"Presents!" He yelled and handed Dallas and I 4 gifts and we gave everybody theirs. After we all exchanged, we ate and laughed and had the times of our lives.

Dallas received a fancy new blade and I received a leather jacket I had been talking about for a couple years from the Curtis brothers. Two-Bit and Steve teamed up with our gifts and gave Dally and I matching rings, and Johnny gave us a dog collar.

I never imagined my life to be this happy, I always imagined it down the hole with the rest of my family. But instead, I was with my boyfriend, and best friends. Happy. For once in my life.
