Christmas Day - Day One

* Diamond's POV *

"Wakey wakey!" Wanda's voice shouts from the other side of the door and I grumble, burrying my face in the pillow. It's too early! I hear the door opening and before I know it, Wanda jumps on my bed making me being shot in the air for a few inches.

"Wanda!" I scream when I land back in my bed on my stomach. But I hadn't sound as angry as I wanted because my voice was smothered by the pillow.

"O come on, sleepy head. It's Christmas Day!" My eyes fly back open and I turn on my back only to meet Wanda's enthustiac expression.

"Come on!" she orders again and with a flick of her hand, I'm floating out of my warm bed to meet the cold.

"Ey!" I protest and she giggles. "Too slow." I get as an answer back and I sigh. Carefully she sets me on my feet and I ask her to wait outside while I dress myself. She nods but warns me not to go back to bed, otherwise the consequenses wouldn't to be overseen. I roll with my eyes but swear not to go back to bed, I'm already out of it so going back wouldn't be of much use.

When I'm stepping outside, dressed in black trousers and a trim white blouse, I'm grabbed by my arm and Wanda drags me upstairs to the living room. Everything from last night is already cleaned up but beside Elizabeth and Iris, there's nobody awake. I knew it was way too early to get up.

"Morning," Iris greets me and I return the greeting. With a jawn and a thud I set myself on the couch next to them.

"So... I saw you dancing with Pietro a lot last night," Iris teases me and I blush a bit. Yes, it had been a great evening but even though we have been on a few dates together, we've never kissed. I kind of expected that to happen last night, but nothing, unfortunately. It made me feel a bit unsure, perhaps he didn't like me as much as I liked him? They notice my moodchange and concerned Elizabeth asks what's wrong.

"Nothing," I answer but I can see they don't really believe that.

"Well, I've heard Pietro has a very special present for you today," Wanda says trying to distract me from my own thoughts.

Suprised I look at her. "Really?" I ask and as she nods  my heart starts to feel a bit lighter again. Maybe he does like me, I think to myself, and perhaps he's just too unsure himself to make the move? I wonder what the present could be, I myself did buy something for him too although I'm not quite sure if it would be something very special but I do hope he'll like it. The present is lying on top of the others and the light blue package is smiling towards me when I glance at it. In it are some new shoes for him which wouldn't fall off when he was running. The ones he has now are a bit weared out and he sometimes complained they always fall off his feet when he made a sudden move. I had talked to Bruce about it and together we had designed some new sneakers specially made for him and his powers.

We talk a bit more and after half an hour or so, the others are waking up too and start to come upstairs.

First we're having some breakfast but after that it is time to open the presents. Everyone has several presents lying for them under the tree, and when Pietro grabs a middle seized present wrapped in red paper with little white and silver snowflakes and hands it over to me, a smile spread across my face. Carefully he places it in my hands and I notice it is very light, almost like there's nothing in it although it's not very small. I place it on my lap and inspect it, I see the top has a lid I can take off without unwrapping it all so I quickly do that. I place the lid next to me on the couch and look inside. On the bottom of the presents is a little note placed.

'Look up' that's all it says and confused I rip my eyes of the note, to look up just as it instructed. I hadn't notice it but Pietro had crouched down in front of me and is now on my eye sight. My heart start to bounce loudly because he's so nearby and in my belly butterflies start to fly chaotic in different directions. I want to ask why I have to look up but for the second time today my voice is smothered. But this time not by a pillow but by a loving kiss. For less than a second I'm shocked when I feel his lips pressed gently on mine but then I give in and close my eyes. In the distance I can hear some giggling from the girls and jeering voices from the boys. I can feel him smile against my lips and we end our kiss. I stare in his blue eyes and chuckle softly, I hadn't see that coming. He winks and opens a secret box inside the present with the note. He takes out a silver necklace with a small lightling bolt. In the top is a little blue gem placed and I think it's really beautiful.
