KAGE'S POV:
As we all walk out of the restaurant, everyone full of food, Michael swings his arm over my shoulders.
"That was so good. I'm a genius for suggesting this."
"Ooookay michael." I laugh. We all get into Lola and I drive us home.
We get to the house and Luke flops down on the couch. He's had a rough day. I go over and sit on the floor by his head.
"You okay?" I ask him.
"Eh, yeah. I'm just worn out." He lifts his head and half-smiles at me. I can tell that he's not okay.
"I'm sorry that happened." I rest my chin on his arm.
"I just need a nap." I kiss his cheek before he sits up.
"Okay, sleep tight." I smile up at him and get up to walk over to Mikey.
"I feel so bad. This is kind of my fault."
"Babe, it's not your fault. You didn't mean to piss Liv off." He leans against me. I rest my head on his shoulder.
We were all watching T.V. when Luke walks out.
"Well good morning." I laugh
"Hey." He smiles, running a hand through his hair.
"Good, now that you're up, we can start the party." Em mentions, as she is squeezed between Rory and Ashton.
"Yay." Michael squeaks.
I set up the snacks and drinks. As I was turning on my Pandora to a quiet playlist Michael came over
"Play Christmas music pleeeeeaaaase?"
"Ugh I hate it.. fine." I said as I create a new playlist. As the bells started coming out of the speakers, I heard a mixture of glee and disgust from my friends.
"Are you kidding me? This is so cliche." Em says to me.
"Just deal with it. It's CHRISTMAS TIME." I say, grabbing her face making her laugh.
About two and a half hours later I look at the clock. it's almost 9 already. I mention to Mikey about the gift exchange.
"Oi mates, we have gifts to exchange."
Michael shouts over the music. I go to change the playlist to something quieter. Everyone goes and grabs their gifts. Luke sits on the floor. Fuck he has no gifts to give.. every one sits next to each other on the floor. I sit myself down next to Luke and Michael sits on my other side.
Em gave Ashton a TMNT t-shirt and Ashton (with some help from me) gave Em a really nice big candle. Em hugged him, less awkwardly this time. Rory bought Calum concert tickets and Calum got a scarf for Rory. I get up and grab the gift from Michael and I to Luke. A new guitar. I bring it out to him and his mouth hangs open.
"Merry Christmas, Luke." We both smile at him. I bought Michael a Kurt Cobain shirt and a new flannel.
"Now you can be so grunge." I smile and kiss him.
"My turn." He grins and stands up.
"Where are you going?" I watch as he walks to the bedroom.
"Just hold on." Michael chuckles. I turn back around and see the boys smirking at me. What the fuck?
We're sitting there chatting about the gifts when I hear clicking. That sounds like little paws on wood.. I turn around to see this little black pug waltzing towards me.
"What the fu- OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I hop up and grab the dog.
"AAAAHH I FUCKING LOVE PUGS. OH MY GOD MICHAEL." I start to cry. Michael walks over to me, hugging me.
"You like it?" He looks at me, grinning.
"Fuck I love her so much." I kiss michael then the dog.
"What are you gonna name her?" Em asks from the other room.
"Uuuh.." I look at her "Zoe." I smile.
"Wait.. what's this?" I look at the ribbon around her neck. I look up at Michael and he starts hopping and grinning. I look back at the ribbon and untie it.
On the ribbon is a beautiful diamond ring.
"Wait.. wha-" I stare at Michael, wide-eyed and my mouth hanging open.
He gets down on his knee.
"Fuck Michael.." I'm starting to cry again.
"Kage. I love you. And I want you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?" He grins. I look down at him, dumbfounded. I struggle for words.
"Michael Gordon Clifford. Of course I'll marry you." I smile as he stands up and pulls me into his arms, kissing me. I hear our friends clap and cheer.
I look up at Michael.
"You're my world." He whispers to me. I begin to cry as I bury my face into his shoulder.
