In the bustling hallways of high school, you navigate the sea of students, your attention drawn to the rhythmic melody of a distant guitar. Following the sound, you find yourself in the courtyard where your boyfriend, a talented musician, is strumming away, lost in the world of his own creation. The sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a warm glow on his profile as he weaves magic with his music.

His fingers dance gracefully across the strings, each note resonating with a passion that mirrors the intensity in his eyes. The courtyard, once a mundane space between classes, transforms into an intimate concert venue, the music becoming a soundtrack to our high school experience.

As he finishes the song, the applause from a small audience of intrigued classmates fills the air. The everyday routine of textbooks and lectures momentarily fades into the background, replaced by the enchantment of his musical expression. His guitar, adorned with well-worn strings, becomes an extension of his soul, and the courtyard, a canvas for the emotions he weaves into his melodies.

Your high school days are punctuated by these impromptu performances, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. The auditorium, usually reserved for official events, becomes a stage for him to share his musical creations with a wider audience. The cafeteria echoes with the soft strumming of acoustic chords during lunch breaks, creating a harmonious atmosphere that transcends the confines of textbooks and exams.

As his girlfriend, you find yourself immersed in a world where music intertwines with your shared experiences. The gentle lullabies and upbeat tunes become the soundtrack to your love story, each note a reminder of the passion that unites you both. High school, with all its challenges and triumphs, becomes a canvas for the artistry that defines him.

In the midst of exams and extracurricular activities, we carve out moments to explore the rich tapestry of music together. His guitar becomes a constant companion, and the melodies he crafts weave into the fabric of our relationship. The highs and lows of teenage emotions find expression in the chords and lyrics, creating a bond that transcends the ordinary teenage romance.

As you both navigate the complexities of high school life, the music becomes a refuge-a source of solace, joy, and understanding. Whether it's the sweet serenade in the courtyard or the soulful ballad shared in a quiet corner of the library, the melodies become the threads that connect your hearts in the vibrant tapestry of youth.

But the excitement of his musical journey takes a bittersweet turn as the holiday season approaches. Thomas and Måneskin are having gained recognition, finds themselves on the set of X-Factor, a whirlwind opportunity that demands their presence during the festive season. As the realization sets in that he won't be able to come back for Christmas, a mix of pride and longing fills your hearts. "I'm sorry y/n. I know how much this season leans to you." He apologizes over the phone. "Yes, but your happiness means more. And music is your happiness so got for it. There will hopefully be otter Christmas to spend." You forced down a smile, still meaning every word. "You are my happiness too. Please don't force yourself like that..." "I'm not doing so- you should go practice, your break it's over." "mhm. buona vigilia di natale amore." "You too, I'll talk to you in the morning " and you hang up not being able to handle more.

The vibrant lights and festive decorations that adorn the city streets seem to mirror the conflicting emotions within. The joy of his success mingles with the ache of his absence during a time traditionally reserved for togetherness and celebration.

Through late-night video calls and heartfelt messages, you navigate the emotional distance. His enthusiasm for the competition and the camaraderie with his bandmates become a source of pride, a testament to the dedication they've poured into their musical journey. Yet, the echoes of holiday traditions and the longing for his physical presence make the season feel incomplete.

As midnight draws near, the usual rituals take on a different hue. The solo guitar sessions in the courtyard are replaced by virtual jam sessions across screens. The warmth of the fireplace at home is exchanged for the glow of a laptop, connecting us across miles.

In the midst of the holiday buzz, the X-Factor competition becomes a parallel universe, a stage where dreams are pursued and passions unfold. While the audience cheers for the band's performances, you find solace in the thought that this Christmas, albeit different, contributes to a narrative of growth and achievement.

The snowy landscapes outside, once a backdrop for shared adventures, now stand witness to a chapter marked by sacrifice and ambition. The gift of his music echoes through the airwaves, a melody that transcends the physical distance between each other. As you both exchange virtual presents and share laughter through video calls, the spirit of Christmas endures, bridging the gap created by the demands of his newfound success.

In the quiet moments, when the world is hushed, you find yourself listening to the songs that first brought you together. The music becomes a bridge between the present reality and the cherished memories of Christmases past. While he may be physically absent, the essence of our connection remains, woven into the notes and lyrics that define our shared journey-one that continues to evolve, even during a Christmas marked by the distant glow of stage lights and the promise of musical dreams fulfilled.

You mother's voice echoes through the house, a mix of excitement and mystery as she informs you that there's something waiting for me at the door. "I'm coming!" Curiosity piqued, you make your way to the entrance, the anticipation building with each step.

As you open the door, your eyes widen at the sight of an enormous present, beautifully wrapped in festive paper and adorned with a bow that seems almost as big as the package itself. The sheer size of it leaves me momentarily speechless, and your mind races with possibilities about what could be concealed within.

With eager hands, you carefully unwrap the layers of paper, revealing a box that seems to hold the promise of a delightful surprise. "What the-"
As you marvel at the newly unwrapped guitar, a sudden movement catches your eye. Before you can fully comprehend what's happening, the lid of the box starts to shift, and to your surprise, someone bursts through with a burst of laughter. "Thomas..?" Shocked, you stumble back as your boyfriend emerges from the oversized gift box, grinning mischievously. You can't even think for a minute. Four weeks apart

"Surprise !" The element of surprise renders you momentarily speechless, and then laughter bubbles up from both of you. His unexpected entrance adds a playful twist to the already magical moment. "How ?" "Did you really think I would end up not coming to your favourite event of the year." You stare at him in disbelief, taking in. His shaking form. "Come in, it's cold." The cozy atmosphere of the room, filled with the glow of holiday lights, becomes the backdrop for your shared laughter and the sense of wonder that accompanies his surprise arrival.

He hugs you tightly under the gushes of your mother. His presence, a gift within a gift, transforms the room into a haven of joy. The guitar, now a symbol of music and love, takes on new meaning as you share a hug, surrounded by the scattered wrapping paper and the echoes of our laughter. The snow outside, untouched by your revelry, seems to glisten with the magic of the unexpected reunion. "Let's go to your room. I have a new song and I need you to hear it..."

He's on your bed, playing while looking from time to time into your eyes. As you twiy settle into the warmth of the room, the acoustic guitar becomes a shared treasure-a source of melodies that now include the laughter and surprise of this extraordinary Christmas. You can't help but whisper. "Ti amo." The unexpected arrival, a playful twist orchestrated by your mother and boyfriend, turns a simple holiday celebration into a memory etched with laughter and the enduring magic of shared moments. And he whispers it back.

Done, see ya tomorrow loves <3
