A/N: Another Merry Christmas chapter :) Part 2, enjoy! :D

Chapter 16

12:01 - 25th December.

Kirstie crept into the spare bedroom, softly closing the door behind her. As quietly as she can manage she steps up to the side of the double bed that was against the wall and climbed onto it. She shuffles up and sits cross-legged in front of the large lump in the bed.
Kirstie slowly reaches out to close the gap and jab Avi in the shoulder, she jerks her hand back and waits for movement. When nothing happens she tries again, and again, and again, getting quicker. When it still doesn't work she tries shaking him lightly then more roughly.
She groans in frustration after her few minutes of failed attempts at waking up her bandmate, he slept like a rock. She knew he wasn't dead though, he was snoring too loudly.
"Avi, Avi, Avi, wake-up," she whispers closely next to his ear. She leant back shaking her head, knowing it wouldn't work so she reached out, blocking his nose and covering his mouth. Avi's eyes shot open instantly and Kirstie pulled her hand away and gave him a big grin, "Finally you're awake!"
"What?" Avi frowns, "Why?" his voice was lower than normal and Kirstie's breath hitched slightly as she went to speak again.
"Um, well I... it's Christmas."
"It's dark... what time is it?"
"That it is, great observation, it's about five minutes past now, I decided to come and see you pretty much on the dot..."
Avi leans up on his elbows, "Midnight?" he asks in disbelief. "Why?"
"Because... because I wanted to give you your first ever Christmas present," she gives him one of her crooked smiles.
Avi is silent for a moment before a small smile crosses his lips and he lets out a slightly surprised, "Oh."
"Yeah, so," she holds out a neatly wrapped package for him to take, "Open it."
He sits up properly in the bed and takes the parcel wrapped in a green paper with candy cane images on it. "Right now?"
She nods, jumping her spot, her smile spreading further across her face.
Avi opens the present, unable to really see what he was doing in the dark, he nods as he gets it open a smile on his face even though he didn't know what it was, because he couldn't see. He looks up at Kirstie as she turns on the her phone light.
"A beanie? Awesome," he nods with a smile. "Thank you," he says to Kirstie.
"Yeah I noticed that you never wear a beanie or a scarf or anything when we're out in the cold, well a jacket but you know everyone wears a jacket, and I thought you might look really good in a beanie," she tells him in a ramble and rush to get all her words out. "Look," she says turning the beanie over in his hand, "I stitched PTX on there too, you could wear it when we perform since Scott's started calling Pentatonix PTX, you know?"
"And because it was easier to stich than 'Pentatonix' right?" he raises an eyebrow.
"Waaay easier, I realised after the 'P' that I am not cut out for stitching," she laughs.
"I've never been much of a beanie guy but I guess if you think I'll look good then there's no harm trying something new," he smiles, pulling the beanie onto his head so that it was sticking straight up.
Kirstie shakes her head with a laugh, "Not like that, you slide it back a bit so you don't look stupid," she hands Avi her phone with the light as she reaches up to adjust the beanie, "Even pull a little of that hair forward," she fluffs around until she's happy then smiles at Avi. "Now if only you could see how good you look."
"But instead I need to take it off so I can sleep."
"You can sleep with it on."
"No way, I don't want to wreck it! It's the best Christmas present I've ever gotten."
"Avi, it's the only Christmas present you've ever gotten," Kirstie laughs.
"So, it's still the best," he shrugs with a smile.
Kirstie nods, then pops up on her knees to pull the blanket out from under her, then in a swift movement she has it up over herself as she snuggles down on the pillow and turns off the light on her phone. "Goodnight," she tells him as she rolls over to face away from him with s devious smile on her face.
Avi stares at her barely visible shape in the darkness for a moment, completely unsure of what she was doing, buy says goodnight to her anyway and eventually slides down to be back under the covers himself.
