"What should we name him" the couple sat on the white fluffy rug of their new apartment staring at the golden puppy in front of them. Y/N pulled out her phone as Minho cooed at the dog. "Apollo" Y/N read off after scrolling, Minho frowned. "No, what else?" Y/N sighed and continued scrolling. They sat for a good half hour bouncing back names, Y/N holding the dog in her lap watching each reaction to the names they each said to him. "He's gonna have an identity crisis if we keep doing this" Minho said looking to Y/N as she nodded in a agreement.

"what about charlie?" Y/N said scratching behind the small dogs ears. They both watched as the puppy's ears perked up, "Charlie? Does that sound good to you?" Minho asked as the puppy began to kiss his face. "Charlie it is!"

Over the months, Minho had aquired a series of photos of Charlie and Y/N...mostly pictures of Charlie. "You do know your office just looks like a shrine of your dog and girlfriend, right?" Seungheon said as he sat in the small office inspecting each of the pictures.

Minho flicked him lightly on the back of the head and rolled his eyes. "Maybe too you, but they are my family and I love them both. A lot. So leave me alone with my shrine and do your homework" Minho said aimlessly tapping around on his ipad. Seungheon groaned but followed the directions given nonetheless. Minho snickered as he left the room. 

He looked up from his iPad to the picture that was taped carefully to the wall of his office, Y/N and Charlie both wide smiles evident on their faces glistened on the picture. Minho felt a flush coming to his face, remembering the day the photo was taken perfectly. 

That same night, Minho walked home rather quickly trying to avoid the winter snow that was falling. He entered the shared apartment shivering and dusting the snow that had fallen on his knitted hat. 

"You're home early" Minho was quickly caught off guard from the fit of giggles that rung like church bells in his ears. He watched as You and Charlie played on the floor, Charlie panting from the endless amount of chasing he had done around the home. 

Minho smiles pressing a quick kiss to Y/N's forehead before joining her on the floor, "The holidays coming up, they let us take break early. " Minho said, grabbing the ball from Charlie and giving him a few pets before throwing it once more. Y/N leaned her head onto Minho humming, "That's perfect because I have something planned next weekend" Y/N said, smiling. 

Minho mirrored the smile Y/N wore, he moved hair out of her eyes. "What could have possibly have planned for us, my love" he said, Y/N let out a small squeal getting up running into their bedroom. Minho sat confused, Y/N reappearing with a large box. 

She sat down and pulled out a sat of red plaid pajamas. "I got us all a pair" She smiled happily holding up the shirt to Minho. Charlie walked carefully back to the couple, ball slobbered in his mouth. Y/N smiled lifted the dog into her arms, "even you, baby" she said pressing a small kiss to his head. Minho laughed, "Is there more to the pj's" he questioned, a smirk evident on his face. 

"Yes! I scheduled photos to be taken" Y/N paused trying to read the reaction on Minhos face. He got up pressing a long kiss to Y/N's temple, "our first family Christmas cards, huh?" he said petting Charlie who wiggled in Y/N's arms to get comfortable. "Your mom always asks, I thought she would like it" Y/N said, Minho blushed nodded. 

Minho scrolled through his phone, biting his lip as he looked through ring options. His mind raced as he looked at you silently asleep on the couch. Dinner sizzled on the stove, he let put a breath. You guys had been together for so long, what could possibly go wrong? he thought to himself as anxiety pooled in his stomach. He quickly shook his head and focused on the now burnt food infant of him.

The day of the photos had rolled around, Minho played with the small velvet box that sat in his pajama pocket. Y/N and Charlie fought to get his pajamas on, "Charlie, it's just for an hour. I promise I'll give you treats!" Y/N whined as Charlie grumbled in respond finally complying. Minho laughed at the two, the photographer calling them all to the beige backdrop that stood in studio. 

Minho felt it hard to smile and pose with how nervous he was. Y/N took notice of his mood quickly, "You okay, Min?" she said whispering too his as the photographer went to check the previous photos taken. He gulped and nodded, "Im okay lovey, no worries" He kissed her cheek. A sharp flash was heard as the photographer gushed over the couple and the dog at played at their feet. 

"Okay, get close!" the photographer said motioning them to scoot closer if that was even possible. Minho wrapped his arms around Y/n's waist and set his chin on her shoulder smiling. The photographer gave a knowing look to Minho, he slightly nodded and hid behind Y/N taking one more picture before getting down on one knee. 

Y/n stood confused at the loss of contact from into turned around, a loud gasp came from her as she looked to Minho. Charlie sat also confused, but he's a dog, so that makes sense. "Minho if you're pranking me you need to get up right now, I'm not even joking." Y/N said, as tears pricked her eyes. Minho shook his head as he open the small velvet box. A small ring with a pink pearl sat neatly encrusted on the band. 

"Y/N, I have loved you ever since I met you, and I know this is our first family Christmas card but I want to have a card with you and me on it for the rest of my life" Minho said his voice breaking slightly. Y/N smiled and sniffled out a laugh as she looked between the ring and Minho. "Y/N will you marry me?" he said, wiped the tears that fell silently. Charlie coming over and licked his face lovingly. "Of course I will, Minho" Y/N said choking out a sob as Minho slid the ring on her finger and pulled her into a bone crushing hug.

 "I love you" Y/N spoke into Minhos chest as she still hiccuped coming down from the height of emotion. "I love you more" Minho said smiling and kissing the top of Y/N's head. Charlie let out a high pitched bark, at Minho's legs. They both laughed as Minho picked up the dog, and finished taking photos. 

Days later Y/N sat at the coffee table surrounded in a mess of envelopes and stamps, Christmas music played softly in the background. Y/N sighed as she finally finished sealing the last envelope. "You look tired" Minho said handing her a warm mug as she slugged into the couch. "I had no idea we knew so many people" Y/N said picking up an extra card that hadn't gotten packaged. She smile seeing her red teared face as Minho proposed. " Are you waiting to send the cards out till you tell cry or-" Minho started but was quickly cut off . 

"Oh Crys and Haemin were the first ones too know, I made sure they kept quiet till everything was sent out." she laughed placing the card in Minhos lap. Charlie played sound asleep in the fuzzy bed that sat next to the couch. 

"Maybe do you think-" "We aren't getting another dog Y/N" Minho said quickly turning down the idea. "Charlie needs a friend!" she whined, Minho rolled his eyes and pressed a soft kiss to Y/N's lips, "you already got your Christmas present, so you need to wait till next year." he smirked and went back to the kitchen. "THIS HOUSE IS A PRISON." Y/N yelled causing Minho to laugh. 

Minho smiled to himself, he couldn't wait till next year and they got to send out Christmas cards again.
