"Darling," Five hums in my ear, arms around my waist. He kisses my cheek. I grumble and turn around to face him in bed.

"What?" I ask half-asleep.

"Darling, it's Christmas."

"Christmas?" I open my eyes, excited.

"Come on, I got us some breakfast."

"Breakfast?" I look at him confused. "We never eat breakfast, it's a waste of food."

"Yeah, well, it's Christmas." He smiles. "I know that's your favorite holiday." I smile up at him. "Come on, it'll get cold."

"Cold?" I look at him even more confused. "Since when have we had hot food to eat?"

"I started up a little fire." He pecks my cheek. He grabs my hand and we get up. I look at the ground and see he shoveled the snow away to clear a path. I see he set up a little table and chairs, with steaming cans in front of each chair. I grin and sit in the closer chair, grabbing a fork and digging in. He sits in the other chair, watching me, resting his chin on his fist. I finish and notice he didn't even touch his food.

"Hey, weren't you worried about the food getting cold?"

"I was worried about your food getting cold." He grabs my hand.

"No, eat." I insist. "You're hungry."

"First," he reaches under the table, "I have a gift for you." He grins. He places a box wrapped in newspaper in front of me. It even has a little bow he placed on top, again made out of newspaper.

"You made this for me?" I look up at him, grateful.

"Open it."

I carefully unwrap the present, making sure to keep the bow intact. I open the box and move more newspaper out of the way.

"Oh my god," I gasp. I lift a necklace out from the box. It was a small silver chain necklace with a jewel at the end. I hold it in my hand. "Is this a flourite gem?" I gaze at the swirl of light turquoise, purple, black, and blue cut into the shape of a heart.

"I'm not actually sure," he confesses, "but I saw a big chunk of it in what seemed like the ruins of a gem shop. This was the one that reminded me the most of you."

"Aw," I look up at him lovingly.

"So I grabbed it and every night for the past few days after you fell asleep, I would work on shaping it." He continued. "I wanted to surprise you with it. Do you like it?"

"I love it, it's so pretty."

"I'm glad. Here," he gets up and puts his hand out to grab the necklace, "Let me put it on you." I smile and blush, handing him the necklace. He goes behind me, shifts my hair out of the way, and fastens the necklace around me.

"How do I look?" I stand up and twirl, landing in a pose, facing him.

"Fucking gorgeous." He comes close to me and wraps his arms around my waist. He leans down and kisses me. "It looks better than I imagined." He smiles.

"I love you." I smile back up at him.

He kisses me again.
