Meet me under the mistletoe (AkkAye)

Christmas Eve

With Christmas around the corner I've been trying to find Ayan the perfect gift. Being the son of a diplomat however, he has everything anyone could ever need. His mother got him the car he wanted just a few days ago as an early present so that's out the window. Chadok also ended up buying him a villa, not that I could afford it.

Sure I'm not exactly struggling to stay afloat. Most would classify me as middle upper-class even so getting my boyfriend a Christmas present shouldn't be difficult. But it is.

Ayan. My boyfriend of six years. He is a very simple low maintenance creature despite his extravagant upbringing. Before his mother got into politics she was married to the owner of one of the biggest hotel and tourism enterprises in the country so its safe to say he's never wanted for anything. However that silly man seems to forget all that every now and then which I absolutely love... most of the time.

This is our sixth Christmas together and our third living together so surely I should make is special. I missed the five year mark because I randomly got sick on Christmas eve and had to spend a week in the hospital so this year needs to be perfect.

I take my phone out of my pocket to search from some inspiration on the internet. I don't know how long I sit there just scrolling but it's long enough for Aye to have returned from buying us dinner. "Whachu doin?" he asks peering at my screen over my shoulder.

I switch the phone off before he sees what I was looking at only earning myself a smack on my shoulder. Ayan walks up in front of me and crosses his arms, "Akk..."

"Huh?"

"Are you cheating on me?"

Not this. I roll my eyes and make to get up from the couch but Aye gently pushes me back down "Are you?" he pouts making puppy eyes at me.

I look at him for a second. He can be insanely adorable sometimes, "Yes, definitely." I say watching his reaction.

Aye drops his arms and takes a step towards me, "Is that so?" he asks leaning dangerously close, "Do you really think you can cheat on me Akk?"

His eyes slowly move across my face scanning. They linger on my lips for a second before flicking up to mine, "Amor you freak out when I'm of your sight for a second too long without telling you. You could never cheat on me."

He plants a quick peck on my lips and walks away to set the table for dinner.

While doing the dishes Aye suddenly stops and stares at our reflection in the window,"What?" I ask trying to make sense of his sudden action.

Ayan doesn't say anything, he jist stands there staring at me in the window before smiling to himself, "Please finish up here. I'm going out for a little bit."

He plants and kiss on my cheek as he dries his hands off and then he takes his car keys and leaves. He's been doing this for a while but I can't question him. I can never actually question him, ever.

I finish doing the dishes and decide to take a shower. Aye us still not back when I finish so I head to bed and grab my tablet and continue trying to figure out what to get him. I must have fallen asleep with the tablet in my hands because when I wake up Ayan is crouched next to me trying to gently pull it out of my hands. When he sees that I'm awake he smiles softly at me, "Did I wake you?"

I groan in response rolling my shoulders which now feel a little stiff, "What time is it?"

"Eleven thirty," Ayan says still smiling at me, "You should go back to sleep. You have an early day tomorrow."

I nod and yawn before moving into a comfortable sleeping position, "You should sleep too."

"Mn."

I wake up before Ayan to do some last minute Christmas shopping and to get more things for lunch today. Aye and I are hosting Wat and Kan as well as my parents and his ma. I leave a note on the fridge for Ayan before heading out.
