My Brothers New Friend

19

I feel something moving next to me. But it's not just one thing, there's multiple. I slightly open my eyes and see that everyone is in my room. I get my eyes to get used to the light and sit up and open fully open them. Chris is right next to me, Lucas is on top of Chris. Hannah is laying on my left side, Alex is laying on top of Hannah. JJ is spread across the bottom half of my bed and Jayden is on top of me. what the hell? When did they all get here? Jayden felt me get move and he started to wake up. "sorry, the heater stopped working for a couple of hours and you and Chris wouldn't get up so we came here and we all fell asleep" he mumbles. "the heater stopped working?" I ask him. "mhm" he says. "im going to go see if its fixed" I tell him. "okay ill go too" he says stretching and telling Alex to move to my spot. "the house feels pretty warm now" I tell him. "yeah, they must have fixed it a few hours ago" he says. "jayden, it's Christmas eve" I say to him. "huh?" he says confused. "yeah, we've been so caught up on other things that we forgot the date" I say to him. "so what? we don't have gifts so there is no way Santa is coming in this weather" he says chuckling. "you get what I mean" I say when we get to the storage room. "yeah look the heater is back on" I tell him. "oh well, it turned off at night and that's why we went to your room" he says walking into the living room. "That's fine, but are we going to do about Tomorrow?" I ask him sitting down. "I do have a couple of gifts in mom's closet that I didn't want anyone to see" he says. "and you thought mom's closet was the best bet?" I ask laughing. "yeah duh, have you ever seen anything leave her closet?" he asks laughing too. "you got a point" I say. "and I have gifts too" I tell him. "then we can just put them under the tree at midnight" he says. "YOU can put them under the tree, if I leave my room Chris is gonna wake up" I tell him. "ugh whatever" he says playfully rolling his eyes. "what in the world are we going to do though?" I ask him. "well in what sense?" he asks. "I mean like are we going to get ready to do nothing? or are we all going to match colors?" I ask him. "y/n it doesn't matter because we aren't going out" he says. "okay but what if we want to take pictures?" I ask. "I think we should all get dressed up for fun" says Alex walking down the stairs with Hannah behind him. "see they get me" I tell jayden. "I want to have a good picture to post and tell everyone how I got stuck in a house with a ton of friends for Christmas" says Alex sitting down and Hannah sitting next to him. "what do you think hannah" asks Jayden. "I don't think its a bad idea, but I didn't think we were going to dress up so I didn't bring anything" she says laying her head on Alex's shoulder. "girl you know that I have your back" I say smiling. Jayden starts clearing his throat which makes us all look at him. "sorry I don't mean to be nosy but" he says pointing between Hannah and Alex. "oh" I say laughing. "we're just friends" they both say at the same time. which makes me start laughing even more. "okay then" says Jayden not snooping into it any more. Hannah and Alex look at each other and chuckle. 

LATER THAT NIGHT

Chris and I were getting ready to go to bed, the heater was working fine now so everyone slept wherever they pleased. Before going to bed, I texted Jayden to remind him to take the gifts downstairs when everyone was asleep. "y/n, i know tomorrow is Christmas and we all aren't in the best situation but I brought a couple of gifts that i had prepared before" says Chris coming out of my bathroom, fresh out the shower. His hair, a towel in his hand, drying his ends that were wet and dripping on the floor. A black shirt with grey nike sweatpants. wow. "y/n?" he says. "oh sorry chris, i got distracted" I say turning away from him and putting my phone down. I hear him giggling behind me. "oh yeah your gifts, jayden and i also have a few and hes going to sneak them downstairs when everyone is sleeping" I say, still turned away from him, hiding the obvious blush on my face. "oh mhm, maybe I'll help him then" he says sitting on my bed. "yeah just text him" i say calming down and turning to him. "you know you're pretty cute when you get embarrassed" he said smiling and pulling his phone out to text Jayden. "okay he said he'd text me whenever everyone was asleep" he said. I nod and start getting under the covers to get ready to sleep. Chris also gets under the covers as we get ready to sleep. "come here" he says pulling me into him, i gladly melt into his touch and start dazing off. "Why did you get so flustered seeing me shirtless?" he says scratching my back softly. "mm because you're so handsome" i say into his chest while giggling. he just chuckles and hugs me tighter. The scent of my soap on his is so different then when I use it, it's comforting. Slowly I start drifting to sleep. Once my eyes shut, there is nothing but softness. and I absolutely love it.
