Chester
"Wake up! Max wake up it's Christmas!"
Chester woke up to Maxxies brother, Ezra, shaking the two awake excitedly.
He heard Maxxie groan in response and tried his hardest not to laugh at the boys laziness.
"Come on Max"
Chester encouraged as he lifted himself up out of bed.
"Merry Christmas Ezra"
The brunette smiled as Ezra looked up at him with a large grin on his face.
"Max, get up"
Chester ordered as Maxxie rolled over and slowly started opening his eyes.
"Morning"
Maxxie spoke groggily.
"Good morning. Merry Christmas"
Chester smiled looking down at the sleepy boy.
"Merry Christmas"
Maxxie replied in a raspy voice as he stretched and pushed himself out of bed.
"Hey Ez, why don't you go wake everyone up and me and Chester will go downstairs and get all the presents ready?"
Maxxie spoke excitedly to his brother as he ruffled his hair.
Ezra began running off to wake everyone up as Maxxie called out "Merry Christmas"
happily.
The two boys lazily made their way downstairs, Maxxie turned on the radio in the kitchen before going out to the back yard, putting his dad's boots on.
'Jingle Bells' by Frank Sinatra played lightly on the radio as Chester watched from the back door as Maxxie walked down the stairs that lead to his back yard, heading to the shed and grabbing a few wrapped up gifts.
"Can you put the kettle on? Mel's gonna want coffee"
Maxxie asked Chester as he walked back into the house, kicking his dad's boots off as Chester shut the door behind him.
"Yeah, you want a coffee?"
Chester asked as he made his way to the kettle, filling it up with water.
"No thanks, cocoa powders top cupboard to the right if you want a hot chocolate"
Maxxie informed as he placed the very small pile of presents under the tree in their living room.
"I'll be right back, I've got some gifts in my room"
Maxxie enlightened as he made his way up the stairs.
Only seconds later Maxxie was bounding down the stairs with a few more presents, placing them all under the tree before making his way over to the kitchen and sitting on the counter next to Chester.
"Merry Christmas"
Maxxie smiled, pulling out a gift from behind his back, it was a middle sized box and wrapped in metallic red wrapping paper.
Chester ripped it open, revealing a star wars lego set.
"No way, how'd you know I like lego?"
Chester smiled as he looked up to his best friend.
Maxxie shrugged and smiled.
"Asked around. You like it?"
"I love it. Thankyou, one second"
Chester put the lego set down and ran up the stairs, leaving Maxxie, confused, waiting on the kitchen counter.
Chester came tumbling down the stairs only a few seconds later with a wrapped small box.
"Merry Christmas freckles"
Chester blushed as he passed Maxxie the gift.
Inside the box was a personalised copper guitar pick, written on it was
'MAXXIE: I pick you forever. C.T'
Maxxies ears turned a dark red along with his cheeks as his heart warmed and his palms sweat.
"Pun intended, by the way"
Chester interrupted, making Maxxie snicker.
"Thankyou, I needed a new guitar pick"
Maxxie looked up at Chester with adoration, his pupils taking up the entirety of his eye as people began making their way down the stairs.
