I woke up to the sun peaking through the window, Sitting up I realized that Ted was no longer laying next to me. I rubbed my eyes and checked the time. 9am. I was about to lay back down when I smell food in the other room. Getting out of bed I hear Charlie and Ted talking in the living room. As I walked out and they both turned their attention to look at me.
"Good Morning Y/n!" Charlie had a plate of food next to him, He handed it to me. "Something to eat!" He smiled.
"Good Morning N/n!" Ted Said, That was the voice I was looking for. "I was thinking of doing some Christmas shopping today. We learned Schlatt has nothing, No tree, No decorations, Nada." He pulled up a list on his phone.
"Yeah, That works. We should take Shlatt with us though." I continued to eat breakfast. "We could also get some presents for each other as well!"
"Sounds like we are on the same page! Should we get something for Alli as well?" Ted asked Still working on his list. I nodded, I had texted Alli as soon as Schlatt told me about his plans. "We will be leaving around 12." Ted finally put down his phone.
"I'm gonna try to figure out what's going on with my room today, I'll head down in a few minutes." Charlie put his dishes into the sink and headed down to the lobby. He was gonna text Ted if his room was ready or not. I went to the bathroom to clean up, Once I got out of the shower I noticed I forgot to grab clothes to wear for today.
"Ted!" I shouted. I heard nothing. "Ted, If your here. I'm walking out in only a towel. I forgot clothes!" I walked out of the bathroom carefully. Looking around, Not seeing or hearing Ted anywhere. I ran into the bedroom changing into new clothes. I headed back to the living area when Ted walked into the room holding two drinks.
"For you." He handed me my favorite drink. I sat on the couch sipping my drink as Ted washed up and changed.
--Time Skip to Shopping--
We arrived at a mall in the city. We decided that we would split up for 3 hours, We each hand to buy our gifts, 3 things for the tree, And at least one activity to do. I went over to a pet shop first buying a few cat toys for Jambo. Once I was done there, I figured to buy tree decorations next. Walking into the store they had F/c ordainments and Tinsel. I had been put in charge of the star, finding a pretty on I bought it. I went to a couple of different stores to buy each of the guys and Alli a small gift that was basic and a larger more meaningful gift. I looked at the time and I had to meet everyone back in 10 min. I hurried back to the food court seeing everyone with their bags.
"Everyone get what they needed?" Schlatt asked, Everyone nodded and we headed to Schlatt's place. Before meeting up with everyone he had bought a tree and dropped it off at his house. Walking into his house I see a very pretty tree that almost touched the celling. "Y/n, You can put your gifts in the guest room, Charlie put yours in the broom closet and Ted you can put yours in my room. We will take turns leaving to wrap." Everyone rushed to put their gifts away and met in the living room. "I'll wrap first, You guys do Teds decorations while I'm gone, Then we will swap." Schlatt said as he left the room.
"Alright, Here's what I got. I got some basic ordainments, Some fake snow for the bottom and some fancy string lights!" The ordainments were passed out between the three of us. I went to the back of the tree, I felt a hand brush past me. Looking up I see Ted standing behind me with a smile on his face. Turning around he grabbed my waist, Keeping me where I was. I felt my face turn pink as I looked away. "Oh N/n." My heart skipped a beat from me hearing him say that so close. My face turning a brighter pink. "Your even more adorable when your flustered." Did he say even more? I couldn't let him get the best of me, I perk up onto my tiptoes and give him a kiss on the nose. His face turned bright pink.
"Oh Teddy." I looked at him, Seeing his eyes dart from looking at mine to my lips and back. I could have kissed him in that moment, Both of our eyes wandering on the other.
"Where are Ted and Y/n?" I hear Schlatt, Ted moved from his position looking over the tree.
"Y/n was too short!" Ted said. The other two looked at each other with doubt, They started laughing. "Charlie, Go wrap your gifts." Ted said, Stopping them from saying anything else. "Y/n Lets do your decorations now." I handed out some tinsel and ordainments, getting back to work. Ted was now in the corner he had just trapped me in. I walked up behind him tapping his shoulder. As he turned around I gave him a large hug. He wrapped me in a hug setting his head on mine. after a few moments he lifted his head up planting a small kiss on my forehead. Not long after Charlie came back, Ted Next to go wrap.
"Look I didn't need to get anything for buying the tree." Schlatt said putting his hands up. "So, I have a better idea on how to spend this time." He and Charlie looked at me. I knew they were going to ask about Ted and I didn't know what to say, Do I tell them I might like him. "What's going on with you and Ted?" He asked.
"I dont know." I Sighed.
"Well do you like him?" Charlie asked.
"I think so, But there is no way that Ted likes me back." I sighed. "He is just being friendly." I looked down to avoid eye contact.
"Are you stupid? I mean that in the nicest way possible. You dont spend hours with someone to be friendly." Schlatt started. "You dont try to fluster someone you dont like." He continued. "You dont keep drunken photos of someone you dont like." My head peaked up.
"Drunken photos, What drunk photos?" I was so confused.
"When you got wasted, you stole Teds phone taking at least 50 photos. He kept each one." Schlatt said. I could feel myself smile. Was there a chance of him liking me back. Ted walked out into the living room pointing at me.
"Your turn N/n." I got up and headed for the guest room. As I leave the room I hear Charlie ask Ted the same questions I was just asked.
