Christmas! (Calum)

It is 7:00am Christmas Day and you wake up to the bright sunshine and the blinding light from new fallen snow coming through your window. Immediately your heart leaps because you remember what you are doing today. Today just so happens to be your six month anniversary with your sweet boyfriend, Calum. Per his suggestion, you are spending the day together, both here at your house and outside going places. You can't wait for what he has planned. He hasn't told you anything.

You jump out of bed and go to the kitchen to have a quick breakfast. You never know when the doorbell will ring. He didn't tell you when he was coming either. The day will be filled with surprises. You make some pancakes and bacon, and sit at the kitchen table with a glass of milk, enjoying the morning. This is the happiest and most content you have felt in a long time and you know nothing is going to change that today. You try to slowly eat and enjoy your food but you also want to finish in case Calum comes knocking.

As soon as you put your rinsed dishes in the sink, the doorbell rings. 7:46. You will be spending many hours with this boy. You can't help but squeal as you run to the front door and open it to reveal Calum in...snow pants? "Hey Cal! Come in. Merry Christmas." You let him in and he trudges in, wiping his boots on the doormat.

"Hey, Y/N. Merry Christmas and Happy Anniversary." His arms gravitate to your waist and wrap themselves around you while he leans down to give you a kiss. "Wanna know what we're doing first?"

"I'm guessing it has to do with snow." you say looking again at what he is wearing.

"Yeah but do you know what we're doing in the snow?" he asks. You think of all the possibilities: building a snowman, having a snowball fight, sledding, skiing, etc. It could be any of them.

"Uh...Are we gonna build a snowman?" you guess.

He chuckles and says, "I believe the question is 'Do you wanna build a snowman?'..."

"Yes! We are! And I love you for making a Frozen reference." You kiss his cheek and run to your bedroom to find your snow gear. You quickly put everything on and come back out bundled from head to toe.

"How can you walk?" Calum questions laughing.

"Shush. Let's go." You open the door and walk out to your front yard.

There is currently at least a foot of snow covering the ground. You pick a spot right in front to build your snowman and find it pretty easy to roll up big solid snowballs for the body and head. When you are done, you think it looks really cute and take a picture of it on your phone.

"Send that to me?" Calum asks.

"Okay? You never want the pictures I take on our dates. You don't even like that I take them at all." you comment. It's true. Only you did make him take a picture with you on each of your anniversaries.

"Yeah but today is our anniversary. And our half year one. I wanna remember it." he says.

"Aw. You're adorable. Okay, what are we doing next?" you ask while admiring your snowman. Out of nowhere, you are hit in the left arm with snow.

"Snowball fight!!" Calum shouts. You then begin throwing snowballs at each other as fast as you can, Calum beating you by a long shot because of his strength. But you still had fun and pelted him plenty of times. After five minutes or so, you get too tired to throw anymore, and decide to go inside.

"Want some hot chocolate?" you offer going to the kitchen.

"Yes please. Do you have marshmallows?" Calum asks. All you do is look at him and he says, "I know, stupid question. Of course you do." You smile, proud of him for knowing better. You make your cups of cocoa and join him at the kitchen table. "Are your parents still sleeping?"
