Motionless in White One Shots

First Christmas - Vinny

Background: Y/N is the newest drum tech for Motionless and they are on tour, only having 2 days off for Christmas it was spent away from home and in a hotel.  I also made her dad a famous musician in this but never said who so.... Theres that

Well, like usual you were awake before the boys, not that it bothered you any as it gives you some peace to yourself before you are forced to figure out whatever is going on this time.
"We all are still gathering in Rick and Vin's room this morning, correct?" You send in the group chat before walking into the hotel lobby to grab some coffee from the in house coffee shop.  In doing so you accidentally bump into Gabby, Rick's girlfriend who just flew in and he has no clue about.
"Hey y/n," she says, pulling you into a hug. "Has Ricky figured any of this out yet?"
"Not a single person has a clue that I arranged with you to fly in for Christmas.  I figure we can still do the secret santa thing with it... just like we planned hence me paying for your ticket," you tease, smiling at her and happy to help make her and Ricky's Christmas special.
Both of you grab a coffee and then make your way up to your hotel room, she didn't book one as she figured she could stay in your room with you and then with Rick once he knows.
"Do you mind if I jump in the shower quick? It was a long flight and I could really use it," she asks you, the hint of jetlag visible on her face but still not outweighing the excitement that is there.
You nod and as she does so you quickly get dressed, not bothering to try much because it is just the guys and they have all seen you in your lounge wear so you just throw on jeans and a hoodie... that you are pretty sure you stole from Vinny but you don't remember anymore honestly.
Your phone dings and you finally get a response from someone in the group chat, Chris.
"Yeah, we are all planning on it in like an hour, still correct?" he asks.
After multiple replies that say that is correct you set your phone down when Gabby steps out of the shower, getting to work on her hair and makeup as she wants to look decent for the first time she is seeing Rick in months.
"I'm anxious and we have a little time left, can I do your makeup y/n? I know you hate doing it yourself," she asks you, already coming towards you while hoping that you will say yes.
"Sure if you want to, it will kill time," you respond as you get your makeup bag out, avoiding her eye contact when your mood falls slightly.  "Honestly I didn't plan to do it  because I know at some point today I will probably cry being the first Christmas since losing dad."
"It will be a rough day for you for sure, but you still will have all of us here for you today.  We all love you and are here for you.  The boys already have said that they aren't going to let you leave if you try.  I also think there is one that really loves having you here... close your eyes," she says, teasing you about your not so hidden crush on Vin.
"Yeah, only because I keep fixing all his broken shit," you respond as you do as she asks, closing your eyes,
"We all know that is not the only reason why he likes you, but whatever, keep lying to yourself.  Open up and I'll finish with your lashes," she says to you.
You choose to ignore what she just said but do open your eyes, glad that she is almost done and that you can get away from this awkward conversation.  You love your best friend and love that she got you this job... but she definitely can be irritating when she chooses to tease you about things.
"Well, get your bow on Gab, it's time to be there and I can't wait for everyone to find out my secret santa gift for Rick," you say, helping her put her bow in her hair before you sneak off ahead of her towards the hotel room you are all meeting in, she follows behind you keeping back so that when Vin let you in the door nobody sees her.
You instantly walk in and demand that you get to give Rick his gift first as you had to leave it in the hallway as you find a seat on the floor, Vin taking a seat next to you.
"Okay, so clearly my gift is for Rick and I am not trying to rush anything but even if we wait for everyone elses he has to go get it like now.  Sorry, it was too big so it's in the hallway still," you say with a smile as you watch the confusion on his and everyone else's faces as he makes his way towards the door.
"What the fuck could you have gotten thats too big to bring in?" Ryan asks you softly as everyone watches the door.
The second the door opens you hear a gasp and look up to see Rick pulling Gabby into a tight hug and kiss, clearly happy that he gets to see her for the holiday.  Everyone starts chatting to let them have their moment, waiting for them to come into the room before continuing. 
Rick instantly pulls you into a hug when they do, whispering a thank you in your ear which makes you blush and smile, excited that you did something that he really appreciated.
They all slowly make their way around the room, everyone passing out their secret santa gifts, laughing and having a great time before it's finally your turn to open yours.
"Okay y/n, last gift is yours and clearly it is Vin who drew you so," Chris trails off glancing over at you.
"Wait, give me a second to start recording before she gets it... okay and go," Ricky says, you now embarrassed about the fact that for some reason Rick is recording only you opening your gift.
"Can I ask why the hell you are only recording my gift?" You ask, looking up and annoyed about the prospect of being recorded.
"Your sister helped me with your gift and made me promise that we would get a video of your reaction." Vinny says as he hands you a rather big box.
"Oh god, should I be scared about this?" You ask, trying to make a light joke to make things less awkward.
You slowly remove the paper, slightly disappointed to see that the box is plain.  Opening the box it takes you a second to register what is going on, but when you do you can't help the gasp that escapes your lips as you slowly pull the blanket that is in the box out, instantly tears are flowing down your face.
"It's.... How did you?" you can't even get your words out as you look closely at all the details of the quilt that is in front of you.
"I got your sisters phone number from Gabby so I could ask if she had one of your dad's band tour shirts so that I could have one of those bears made with it for you and she mentioned that she had an entire tote full of old merch shirts that he kept over the years.  So I asked my mom who sews a lot to help me make a t-shirt quilt of all of them for you.  I knew that having something of your dad's for Christmas would mean a lot more than something stupid from the store," he says, watching you with a big smile when he can clearly see how much you love it.
You glance up at him, meeting his eyes with tears still falling from yours. "I-I love it, I.. thank you," you say softly, leaning over to pull him into a hug.
He moved slightly, pulling you into his chest while you cry, a hand moving to brush through your hair to comfort you as you cry.
"Okay so can I look at it? I haven't seen it yet," Gabby asks, you nod your head without moving, still needing another second to compose yourself.  Listening to everyone around you talk while you gather yourself.
Slowly you get yourself a bit more composed and lift your head away from Vin's chest, wiping at your eyes with the sleeves of your hoodie before realizing that some of your makeup is on Vinny's shirt now from where you cried.
"Shit, sorry Vin, I didn't mean to stain your shirt," you mumble glancing down, embarrassed.
"It'll wash off, I don't mind," he responds softly with a smile. "You on the other hand, why don't we go wash it off your face now that you look like us after a show."
You can't help but giggle at his awful joke as you get up and make your way to the bathroom, grabbing a washcloth to wet in the sink, unaware that Vinny has followed you until you see him in the mirror behind you.
"Here, let me help you.  After all I am the reason that you are crying," he says  as he gently takes the washcloth out of your hands to begin cleaning your face with it, careful not to rub your skin too roughly.
Once he is done he pulls you into another hug for a minute, just standing there holding you for a moment before you both make your way back out to the main part of the room towards everyone else, both of you standing in the doorway for a second while you watch everyone talk.
"Hey guys look up," Chris says with a smirk as you both glance up at the ceiling.
You instantly blush bright red when you realize that what he was trying to show you was mistletoe that is hanging from the bathroom door frame, no clue what you should do in the moment.
"What the fuck? I don't remember us putting any up?" Vin asks, glancing at Rick with a confused expression on his face.
"That's because there wasn't, I just hung it up while you both were in the bathroom so we can trap you guys.  Figured the two of you deserved a second gift," Justin says, winking at both of you when you look at him as he speaks.
"And you did ask us how you should make a move so we decided to make it for you," Ryan adds with a laugh.
"None of you are going to shut up until I actually do it are you?" Vinny asks, glancing around the room while avoiding your gaze as everyone nods at the two of you. "Fuck, please don't punch me for this." he says softly.
Next thing you know his hand settles on your cheek, lightly making you look up at him.  For a second he hesitates, and you aren't fully sure what you expect until you feel his lips gently on your own.  You hesitate yourself before you start to kiss him back, shy and unsure what to think when he pulls away, both of you quiet as you process what has just happened between the two of you. 
"You're welcome," Chris says loudly. "Now stop being shy and admit that you both want to be with each other so the damn tension is finally gone.... And then we will figure out Christmas dinner."
Feeling shy you go and take your seat on the floor again, embarrassed but honestly happy with what just happened.  Even more so when Vin rejoins his spot next to you and takes your hand, pulling you into his side as his way to confirm that Chris was right and he does like you without saying it outloud.  You can't help but think that you should probably talk about everything but decide to enjoy the moment while it lasts, the two of you can always talk about this at a later time when you are alone.
