Andrew Siwicki Imagines

The One with The Christmas Tree - 85

*Y/n's pov*
Christmas time. I'm not the biggest fan of it necessarily, if I'm being completely honest, I'm actually kinda a grinch. Not that I try to be down all the time during the holidays but, I am somehow. I lost family members who used to make it special and now it all just seems so dull. Watching Christmas movies, listening to Christmas music. None of it is appealing to me anymore. Wrapping gifts is sorta fun, I mean I like giving them to people, not so much the buying part, I don't like leaving my house. And decorating is alright. If it's a tree with a couple stockings by the fireplace. I'm not big on having multiple trees or garland everywhere with candles and shit going, it really just isn't me. Andrew on the other hand, is the complete opposite of me, he LOVES Christmas, with a passion. When I walked into his apartment a few minutes ago, all I saw was decor everywhere, all of it Christmas themed. He has like four candles going in the living room alone. He has lights everywhere, his tree is up. Presents underneath it. He's like if Santa was his age and lived in LA. I was on the phone texting when I walked in and didn't notice the entire room being Christmasy until about 3 minutes after I walked in. He was in his kitchen making a coffee in, *surprisingly*, grey sweats and *not so surprisingly* a hoodie. After I looked around the room for. Bit he noticed my presence and walked over to me from the kitchen. "Sup" "very casual of you" "I'm sorry, hello, what is up with my girlfriend who's currently standing in front of me?" "I'm admiring your work ethic" "my work- OH" "mm" he smiled and sat on the couch while I looked at the ornaments on the tree. "Aw I got you this one- and that one- and this one" "I know I put all of the ones you got me up there" "sweet" he chuckled and I walked over and sat beside him. "You look bored" "mm no just tired" "mm. You decorated yet?" "Nope" he immediately turned to me "WHAT" "what? I haven't had the time" "that's when you call me, the person who has free time, to do it for you- so what, your house is just empty?" "I- no.. I have a singular Christmas whale that's sitting on the fireplace." "That's it?" "Mhm. And a candle.. because you know how candle obsessed my friend is." "Yeah she's strange with that.." "sooooo" "so" "what've you been doinggg?" "Sleepinggg which is why I'm having coffeeee" "aw I wish. I had a meeting at like 7am and another one at 11 until 2pm" "HA I was sleeping during all of that" "I'm aware I tried texting you multiple times when I had a small lunch break with Damian but you didn't answer." "Oops- wait no. I would've gotten up-" "mhm" he slid his phone out of his pocket and tapped the screen to turn it on. When it did, my multiple texts came up and a missed call from both Garrett and his mother too. "Oops.." "uh huh" I got up and walked to the kitchen. "Hey! I was tired. And you're here now so I can answer" I walked back out after grabbing a water bottle from his fridge. "Go on" he opened my texts and read them one at a time. "Hi. No I was not awake. Good morning and afternoon to you too. I also love you. I can see that you're bored. And I'm now going to need to call them both. Better?" "Mhm" "hey" "hm?" "Better?" "Yes" "good"

"Sooo" "yeah?" "What should we do now" he laughed "we sound like every middle school couple ever." I bit my bottom lip and attempted to not laugh. "Jesus" "also I'm not sure what we should do." I laid my head on his shoulder and sighed. He slipped his hand underneath mine and held it. "When did you get your nails done-" "like yesterday" "I was with you yesterday-" "you were sleeping for like two hours so after like 25 minutes I decided to go get them done because they were growing out." "Aw they're Christmasy" "are you referring to the small Santa hat on one of 10 fingers?" "Yeah" "Garrett made me do it. I was on FaceTime with him when I got them done and he said I need to get them Christmasy" "as he should." I playfully pushed him slightly and laid my head back down on his shoulder. "You're missing your rings and the necklace that you always wear. And your two bracelets." "I love how you noticed that" "I noticed when you cut your hair an inch do you really think I wouldn't notice that" "you didn't notice the tattoo that I got a while ago" "the matching one you got with dumbass two on your ass? It's small." "Mhm" "I noticed absolutely everything else but a small letter" "I know. I noticed when you weren't wearing adidas sweats today" "I wanted a change" "you look good in both" "thank you" we both looked at each other at the same time and kind of just stared at each other for a few minutes before he broke it by looking down at my hands again. "Um-" "what" "where's your ring?" "My ring? I have a lot of ring baby you're gonna need to be more specific" "y/n." I looked down at the finger he was looking at and referring to and smirked. "We took it to get it cleaned remember?" "Jesus I thought you were hinting at something-" "absolutely not. I'm marrying your ass and there's nothing you could do to stop me." "Good" "I'm tired" "sleep then" "No I can't" "why's that?" "Have to fix my sleeping schedule" "mm. Well why don't we go back to your house." "That will prompt me to sleep" "mm no. I'm making you decorate." "Andrew." "Baby you need too." "Fine fine. But you're driving." "I'm fine with that" "Mkay" I got up and walked over to the front door where my shoes were and sat down on the floor to put them on. I slid one of them on and pulled the laces to tighten them before tying them and directing my attention to the other shoe. I grabbed it and slid it on then followed the same thing that I did two seconds ago, and once I finished doing so I stood up and looked over at him. "Hey" "hm" "get up" "no" I walked over to him and reached my hands out for him to grab onto, he did and I pulled him up. "Silly" "mhm" I grabbed my phone from my pocket and opened it then checked the weather app. It was cold. Or, colder than normal. Andrew was putting his shoes on so I took the opportunity and walked into his bedroom and closet and stole a zip up. I put it on and smiled and how big it was on me then walked back out towards the front door. "I could've given you the one I'm wearing" "I wanted one that zipped" "mm I only have a select few of those ones so good choice" "mhm. Go go" I said lightly pushing him towards the door. "I'm going" he unlocked it and opened it. "Hey" "hm?" "Wanna grab my keys from beside you?" I looked at the table by the front door and grabbed his keys. "Want your wallet?" "Yeah" " I handed both to him and he smiled "thanks" "no problem" "oh wait-" "what" "can you be a lamb and grab Yods from my bed" I glared and gave him a look for the reference. "Mhm" I walked through the hallway and back into his room and saw him laying there on Andrew's pillow. "Hey bud. You enjoying dads pillow? Yeah?" I picked him up and rested him on my hip then walked back through the hallway and stopped at the front door. Andrew pat his head and smiled then moved so I could walk out the door. He walked out behind me and closed the door behind him then locked it. When he was putting his keys in his pocket he slid his arm around my waist and started leading us to the elevator. He pressed the button and we waited for it. One of his neighbours came out of her apartment and walked towards the elevator. He smiled at her and she smiled at both of us. The elevator dinged and the doors opened. We let her get in first before we walked in, him letting me walk in first like the gentleman he is. He pressed the ground floor button and we all waited for it to go down. I got a notification on my phone, my phone buzzed, so I grabbed it from my pocket and looked at it. I smiled and slipped my phone back in my pocket and lightly poked Andrew's shoulder. He leaned down. "Hm?" "My ring is cleaned" he smiled "is that a hint that you want to go get it?" "Mhm" "Mkay" his neighbour spoke. "You guys are adorable" Andrew blushed and turned completely red and I answered "thank you" "how long have you been engaged? "a few months" She smiled at us "I'm hoping you have a long and happy marriage" "thank you" we both smiled at each other and it was silent for a few seconds. "Andrew I've known you since you moved into the building and you're still very shy" he cleared his throat and replied "yeah I've always been" "I'm assuming she's not" "depends on who she's speaking to" the elevator dinged and the doors opened. "Neither of you sound shy when I'm walking in the hallway to take my trash out later in the night." She smirked as she walked out and we both stood there in silence both staring at her as she spoke to someone walking into the building. "I uh.. you can go ahead.." I walked out before him and he followed behind me. Both of us eventually made it out to my car and both of us got in. "I'm sorry-" "no no it's fine-" "no seriously I see why we're at your house more.." "yeah" he started my car after making sure that I had my seat belt on and started driving towards my house. "Jesus I'm so sorry that happened-" "it's always the older people who know." "Yeah they say they're hard of hearing.." "they aren't. " "yeah" "we couldn't be that loud-" "I think we are.." I awkwardly settled into my seat and let my hand fall beside me. He moved his hand and held mine. He cleared his throat again and spoke. "What's the place called that your ring is at?" I told him and he drove there. He parked in a spot outside of the building and I unbuckled my seatbelt and set Yods on his lap then get out and close the door.
