Armani Oneshots

snow in californ-ia

boo! did i scare you?

"Ariana? I'm about to go in twenty minutes, I would love it if we had... a talk?" Normani sentence ends with a whisper. She sees her fiancé lying on their bed sleeping peacefully. Part of Normani wants to be selfish and use every bit of time they have left together before she has to go and start her world tour. Another part just wants to watch the gorgeous woman sleep and take in every feature she'd miss while on tour.

Normani jumps when Ariana shifts and turns onto her side of the bed. That's when she spots Ariana's song journal lying flat where she was previously lying.

"She's gonna ruin that book. Heh, then blame me with a pout." Normani chuckles and makes her way to the notebook before snatching it up. Just as she was about to close it she spotted something odd.

'Santa? Christmas ended a day ago and she's already writing songs for next year. She's so silly..... Let me see what this one's about though.' Normani doesn't normally pry into Ariana's creative space but Ari insisted that she had nothing to hide and that the performer was more than welcome to look.

"Let's see...... Dear Santa, it's me, Ariana I know it's been a while but I really need your help this year. Let me make this clear. See I, I really love her and its been kinda tough cause she's only in town for the holidays. Tomorrow she's flying away. Away from me..." It immediately clicked that this song was about Normani and her upcoming tour. As she continues to read the lyrics her heart aches for Ari and herself. With a sad frown, she continues reading the heartfelt lyrics.

"I don't need another gift. I just have one wish. This year can you just make it snow in California? I'll even settle for rain. Don't want her to go tomorrow morning. Give me something to make her stay. Wrapped in her arms by the fireplace, will be the perfect gift. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Let it snow, in Californ-ia." Normani, ever the perfectionist couldn't help but feel that this song was flawless. You could feel how much Ariana meant each lyric. From the melody to the small notes she made for adlibs. It's clear that her fiance had this on her mind for a while. An overwhelming feeling of guilt washes over Normani as she finishes the song. The bridge hits her the hardest, her heart pounds imagining Ariana singing it.

"This won't do." Normani sighs out. She picks up her phone and presses a contact. She could not leave Ariana in this state. The singer had a plan and needed as much help as she could get.

Ariana's POV

I wake up shivering. 'I told Normani about touching the thermostat!' I could feel a groan bubbling in the back of my throat. I do not want to get up.

Wait. 'What time is it?' I look around my bed for my phone. Finding it under my pillow I snatch it up and check the time. '8:56 am. Holy fuck Normani's flight was four hours ago! I missed it.' I could feel myself tearing up. 'Fuck my depression nap screwed me up. No... this isn't my depression's fault, Normani should've woken me up!'

With tears running down my face I lie back down and cross my arms with an angry pout. I could try to go back to sleep but it's freezing in here.

"Great now I have to get up and turn this shit off. Normani just wait till you land." I begrudgingly climb out of bed mumbling curse words to myself. I'm shivering with every step I take, my Eevee socks not helping keep my feet warm at all.

Instead of being a normal adult I sit on the stair railing and slide down to the bottom. Only to save time of course. I look around the house and notice how empty it is without my family in it. I feel my heart break a little and the tears form again. I groan to myself and tip-toe to the thermostat.
