it's christmas morning and louis surprises olivia with a puppy

fluff
—

the sun's just risen by the time louis opens the door to his and olivia's apartment, carrying a large cardboard box in his arms. he turns on the lights and walks into the fully decorated living room, the scent of chocolate chip cookies and candy canes hitting him.

he sets the box down carefully next to the christmas tree, then letting out a breath when he finally gets the chance to relax his arms. he's carried the box—containing a small golden doodle puppy—from tribeca to greenwich on foot, never putting the box down once until now.

suddenly, the excited puppy scratches against the walls of the cardboard, eager to get out and explore. louis looks down at him and he can't help but smile. "how can i resist that face?" he picks the puppy up and sets him in his lap. "well, this is it. welcome to your new home."

knowing it'll only be quite soon until olivia wakes up, he has to put the dog back into the box and hide him someplace until then. he jogs over to the closet and puts the box back down.

"okay, now i'll be back soon. i want you to be a surprise, so try not to make any noise. i'll give you some treats after." louis feels a bit silly talking to the puppy, knowing he can't understand him anyway. but it makes him feel better about the situation as he closes the closet door.

when he comes back to the living room he decides to turn on a classic christmas movie, which is none other than home alone. he sits down on the couch and relaxes as he waits for his girlfriend to wake up.

when olivia walks into the kitchen, louis is already waiting for her in the living room while the movie continues to play on the tv. her hair is messy from sleep and her eyes are tired, but the sight of her boyfriend makes her face completely light up.

"hey, babe," she says with a voice raspy from sleep, coming over and wrapping her arms around his shoulders to press a kiss to his lips. "merry christmas."

"merry christmas, liv." he picks her up and spins her around, making both of them laugh. he puts her down after two spins and she rests her head against his chest.

"before we have breakfast i want to give you your present first—or should i say ours," louis announces. he takes olivia's wrist and sits her down next to the christmas tree. "okay, close your eyes. i'll be right back."

as olivia nods and follows, he gets up and runs to the closet, picking up the golden doodle from the box and lightly stroking its fur.

"good boy," he whispers. "i hope you're ready to meet my girlfriend; she's very lovely."

louis slowly walks back into the living room and kneels down next to olivia, setting down the puppy. "you can open now."

olivia opens her eyes to see the small golden doodle rolling around on the floor like a ball of fluff, her mouth opening in surprise. "oh my god, louis! you did not." she picks up the dog, which barks in excitement as she runs her hand through its fur.

"merry christmas, babe," louis smiles again, pulling olivia and the puppy into a hug.
