"Hey! You're taking up the whole bed," you rolled on top of Taeil, who had completely star fished on top of the already small bed. He had asked you to spend then night after you'd both realized how late it had gotten, and to be fair you were more comfortable just staying over as opposed to going home at three a.m. Although Taeil was surprised to see that the other members were more excited than he was when you agreed. He couldn't help but worry about what they were plotting. But, now that you were both alone, Taeil couldn't help but feel like he was forgetting to ask you something. "Taeil! Sharing is caring!"
"Yuta said we could just push the beds together."
"No way," you said with disbelief.
"Seriously, it was his idea. He even changed the sheets and everything." As soon as Taeil told him you'd be staying over Yuta was on top of it. He had never seen that room so clean.
"Oh, why didn't you say anything in the first place?!"
"I was hoping for Christmas cuddles."
"It's not even Christmas yet," you playfully jabbed his side before obliging, burying your face in his chest and sighing. "Where is he anyway?"
"With Mark," Taeil watches you get off of him and move to the other bed. "Need help with that?"
"Nah, I got it," you pushed the bed, which was really more of a mattress on top of another one, towards Taeil's. "Bet one of us is going to wake up in between these mattresses tomorrow morning," you said with a small grin.
"Or we could just sleep the other way?" Taeil moves his pillow against the wall.
"Oh, yeah, that's smart," you tossed the other one next to him and flopped onto the makeshift bigger bed. Once again, you rolled over close to him. "Taeil! When was the last time we slept together like this?"
"Uh... four months ago, I think," Taeil's voice trails off as he realizes that it really had been that long since either of you spent the night together. The last time being your two year anniversary, then now. "Holy... wow, I didn't think it was that long ago," he turned his head towards you.
"Darn, and I'm too tired to really do anything too..." you sighed. "Oh well," you clung onto his arm and Taeil reached over and poked your cheek. "Hm?"
"You forgot to close the curtains."
"What? You're closer! I'm already comfy..." you groaned. You got up anyway, crawling over the bed to grab onto the curtains. Before you could close them, though, you looked out the window. Soon, you knelt next to it.
"What are you looking at?" Taeil moved towards you.
"Nothing really, it just looks really nice outside right now," you commented. It had begun to snow earlier, and now a fresh undisturbed blanket had covered the sidewalks and streets. "I kinda hope it snows like this on Christmas too, it would look so nice," you wondered out loud. You leaned against the windowsill and Taeil joined you.
"It does look really nice," he says. "Would be a shame if two people who couldn't sleep just disturbed it, ya know?"
"It would, it would be a shame," you nodded. You both stared at each other.
Next thing you knew it, you were both outside. Pajama bottoms soaked with snow and hands freezing cold, but once and impulse decision was made, it was best to just go all out. Taeil formed a large snowball and hurled it at you, something you had narrowly avoided.
"Stay still!" Taeil shouts.
"No way!" You ducked behind a wall. Taeil cornered you, snowball in hand.
"Gotcha," he readied himself to throw the snowball. Until he got hit with one himself, one that was thrown at a pitcher's speed and hard enough for him to temporarily lose his balance. "What the..." He looked off to the side, spotting Yuta tossing a snowball in the air with Mark and Jungwoo holding some of their own behind him.
"Two and against three! How's that fair?!" You hurled the snowball towards them and the group dispersed. Soon, you and Taeil established a fort behind two trees in the courtyard, while the other three stood out in the open. "Why are they so good at this?" You asked him, trying to catch your breath.
"It's Yuta, he's good at everything," Taeil shakes his head. "From the looks of it, Mark's just making the snowballs. If we get Mark out first then we can slow them down."
"Agreed, then we get Jungwoo, his followups sting like hell."
"Then we gang up on Yuta," Taeil nods while he holds his hand out, you take it and shake it firmly.
"You know we can hear you, right?!" Mark calls out. They were, after all, only a few feet away.
"Shh, we're strategizing!" You shouted back. Then, it hit him. And he wasn't talking about Jungwoo's snowball.
"Are you coming for Christmas?" Taeil asks. He had forgotten to ask you earlier. Sometime at the beginning of that month he explained to you all of his schedules, some of which fell on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, then he reluctantly told you that he wouldn't be able to visit you because of that. Quickly, a little too fast actually, you told him you'd figure out if you could go see him instead. You just needed your family's blessings.
"We're having a fairer rematch on Christmas, Nakamoto!" You shout back, effectively answering his question.
Looks like he has something special to look forward to this Christmas.
