Tom decided Christmas is the perfect time to tell y/n about his feelings...will she reciprocate?
I spent the past 2 weeks with Tom and his brothers as my family were out of town and I didn't want to be alone on Christmas. I've been best friends with the Holland brothers since I first met Tom in year 7 and I had a play date round his house. 12 years later and we're still as close as ever, especially Tom and I.
"Merry Christmas lazy!" I shouted, running into Toms room. He simply groaned and covered his face with his duvet.
"It's too early y/n"
"But it's Christmas!" I whined.
"Look y/n, I love you but you're disturbing my beauty sleep!"
"Princess." I mocked.
"What did you say?" He raised his eyebrows.
I leaned in closer to his face, repeating the word slower and clearer; "princess."
"That's it." He tackled me into the bed and started tickling me. He knows it's my weakness. After 5 minutes, we were both out of breath and just laughing at each other. I realised how close we were and the butterflies in my stomach began to flutter. What made it worse was when I realised his hand was placed on my hip. I smiled awkwardly and got up.
"So now that you're awake..."
"Yes yes I'm coming!" He laughed.
I practically ran down the stairs and straight to the tree to grab presents to give out.
"Someone's eager." Harry laughed from the kitchen.
"Not like that, I cant wait to give you guys your presents from me!" I squealed.
Finally Sam and Tom came downstairs and sat around the tree.
"Tea for everyone except y/n who has hot chocolate." Harry announced.
"Awww, thank youuu." I grinned.
"Y/n is overly excited for us to open the presents she got us so...I think we should do that first."
"Okay if you insist." Tom smiled.
I got harry some things for his camera; "oh these are perfect, thanks so much y/n"
I got sam a new apron and chefs hat; "these are wicked, thank you y/n"
I got Tom lots of spiderman related things such as a funko pop, tshirt and even underwear; "very cheeky y/n, but they're brilliant, thank you love."
We carried on exchanging gifts and I got some lovely things from harry and sam. Then it got to Tom.
"Okay so I know you didn't want us to buy anything expensive but I really wanted to get this." Tom explained. I rolled my eyes in annoyance at the price and slowly opened a little box. A gorgeous heart necklace lay there.

"Oh Tom, it's beautiful."
"Wait- that's not the best part."
He took my hand and dragged me over to the white wall in the hallway. He got his phone out and put the torch on. Once he placed the light on the necklace, an image was projected onto the wall.
My heart melted.
The picture was of Tom and I on my birthday. I'm grinning from ear to ear as he is kissing my cheek.
"It's my favourite picture of us. I know it's a little cheesy but-" I shut him up by giving him the biggest hug.
"Tom, this is the best gift I've ever gotten." I spoke softly, still squeezing him.
"Hey, what about my bath bombs I got you!" Sam called from the other room making us chuckle.
"Stop eavesdropping!" I shouted, still smiling toothily.
"Here, let me put it on for you." Tom smiled. I turned around and brought my hair forward. He was so close as he placed it around my neck, his breathing sending chills down my spine.
"There, it looks amazing on you love." He softly gazed.
"Thank you so much Tom. I love it and I love you." I hugged him again but this time when I pulled away, our faces remained close.
"Um-y/n I need to tell you something." Toms voice cracked with nerves. I nodded telling him to go on.
"If you don't feel the same then we can just forget what I'm about to say because I can't bare you not being in my life after all this time. But, I've got to get this off my chest. I like you. I've liked for so bloody long that it actually hurts me. If there was the off chance that you liked me back then I would be the happiest person on earth but of course I don't want to pressure you or-"
I kissed him. Only a quick peck to let him know I felt the same as, well, he wasn't really giving me a chance.
"Wait so...do you feel the same?" He stuttered.
"Tom, I've probably had a crush on you longer than you liked me!" He stared into my eyes with shock, but as he caught up, the lines on his face became visible as his grin widened.
"So, can I kiss you properly this time instead of doing it just to shut you up?" I giggled.
"Of course love."
As our lips touched and we both began kissing softly, it felt as though the entire world had stopped. I began playing with his hair which I could tell he liked and he ran his hand slowly down my sides. The feeling was so incredible I didn't want it to end. Of course, there were two rascals in the house that didn't feel the same...
"ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!" Harry screamed as he walked into the hallway.
"THEY'RE IN LOVE!" Sam shouted.
We reluctantly pulled apart and chuckled.
"I would tell you to shut up but...you're only speaking facts." I smiled and looked up at Tom. He smiled back and kissed my cheek.
