Ben and I are out Christmas shopping for everyone and as a little celebration for wrapping up filming on bohemian rhapsody. I spark up and run over to the card aisle. "Oh my God Rami would love this!" I burst out. "It's a snowman Freddie singing the snow must go on. That's the cheesiest thing I've ever seen." Ben says looking half asleep. "I think it's cute. Also, haven't you seen Joe?" I remark as sassily as possible. "Yeah yeah whatever." Ben rolls his eyes and laughs. We walk into the clothing department of the store and see ugly sweaters. A LOT of ugly sweaters. "These all look so uncomfortable." Ben mutters.

"Why are you so mad today?" I turn around as he accidentally bumps into me. "Because it's a week before Christmas, almost everything is sold out, it's cold, and they are only playing Mariah Carey." He says, his tone getting progressively angrier. I cock my head back in disgust. "What's wrong with Mariah? You don't understand Ben. This is so that we have a very merry Christmas this year. It's our duty for the Christmas party to bring gifts. Last year it was Rami and Lucy, and the year before that it was Gwil and Miranda, and even before that it was Joe. It's finally our turn and we have to blow them away. C'mon. Please?" I give him the biggest puppy dog eyes I can muster.

He sighs deeply and rolls his eyes again. "Fine" he says finally. "I'm thinking of getting Joe something. Since you're always in interviews and can't always be there with everyone else, let's get him a cutout." Ben raises an eyebrow. "Of me?" I nod evily " Yep. It's not like I'm super mega famous. I just tag along with you. I think he'll love it." I grin. "Where are we even going to find a cutout of me anyways?" I smirk. We buy the card and get in the car. "Let me drive since I know where we're going." I get in the driver's seat. A sign that says Standees greets us. "How did you know where this was?" He looks genuinely concerned. "I used to come here and spend my allowance getting one direction cutouts."

"What were you doing with those cutouts y/n?" He smiles. "Huh?" I try to pretend that I didn't hear him. "What were you doing with those cutouts?" "Let's go into the store shall we?" I grab his hand and sprint into the store. "I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO KNOW Y/N" "THATS NOT THE POINT BEN." We get into the store. "Hello, what can I help you with today?" A voice calls from the register. "Yeah do you have a cutout of this guy?" I say pointing at Ben. The man squints his eyes and responds "yep, in the back." We both nod and smile and walk to the back. The first thing I see are cutouts of everyone. Lucy, Rami, Gwil, Joe, and Ben. "Well thats conveniently convenient." I laugh. I grab it "and only 20 bucks. Ben you're so cheap."

"Yeah right whatever. Let's just buy it." I pick it up and we walk to the register. The man scans the tag and I pay for it as we walk out the door. I throw they cardboard Ben in the back seat and buckle him up. Real Ben gives me a funny look. "What? Even cardboard people have to wear seatbelts! Rest in piece cardboard cutout of Harry styles I got when I was 13." I say kissing my fingers and turning them to the sky. We drive back home with the cards and gifts and cardboard Ben. I wrap up the gifts with a red wrapping paper and put stick on ribbons on them, along with name tags. "Rami, check. Lucy, check. Gwil, check." I begin. "Joe, check." Ben finishes.

"Now can we go to sleep?" He asks. "Nope. You gotta take a shower. You STINK." I tell him.   He rolls his eyes and starts his water. When he gets in, I run back to the car and grab Ben's present. I wrap it quickly as possible and put the ribbon and name tag on it. But instead of writing Ben, or Roger, I wrote: my true love. "Ben, check." I whisper and put it behind the nightstand. Ben gets out of the shower and pulls his flannel pants up. "You look like a darling little elf." I giggle. He doesn't respond and instead just plops on the bed, next to me. He cuddles up next to me, making me the little spoon. "I love you." He whispers. "I love you too." I whisper back.

Soon enough I fall asleep. I wake up to the smell of chocolate. DELICIOUS. I walk downstairs as silently as I could. I walked behind Ben. "HEY BUDDY." He slings a hot pan at me as I duck just in time. "Man, you would think after 2 years you would try to kill me less often." I I furrow my eyebrows. Ben puts a hand to his chest as he pants. "Jesus, CHRIST. You have got to stop doing that to me. Halloween was 2 months ago." Ben says in between breaths. "I'm just that type of girl. Once I scared my dad so bad he fell down the stairs! It sucks I had to pay for his hip replacement though." I sigh.  Bens eyes widen as the last part sinks in. "Whatcha making?" I say nearly sticking my face in the pan. "Chocolate chip pancakes." Ben replies. "And for the record, NEVER stick your face in anything I cook." I smirk. "What about when we have a baby?" I ask. "That's different."
