———————————————————————————————————————————————
Axel had never cared much for the holidays, I mean why would he? He never had family to spend it with and his friends were always off with theirs. He didn't celebrate and he never understood what all of the fuss was about.
But then he met you.
You loved Christmas. Everything about the season made you giddy, whether it was buying and wrapping gifts or all of the Christmas themed goodies, just everything was magical to you.
He actually looked forward to Christmas each year simply because of how happy you were. He loved waking up and hearing you sing Christmas carols in the shower, or coming home at night and cuddling up on the couch and watching Christmas movies.
That is what Axel needed in his life, someone who found happiness and enjoyment in all of the small things. The two of you had actually met on Christmas Eve four years prior and he knew the moment you spoke that you were exactly what he needed to bring light back into his life.
His favorite thing about Christmas time though was definitely what he was seeing right now. You sitting on the floor across from him in your pjs, with messy hair. You were sipping your morning coffee and pulling presents out from under the tree. He couldn't help but grin as he watched you.
Your [color] eyes twinkled as you read some of the cards from family and friends and he could see a faint smile even with your lips pressed to your cup.
He was pulled from his thoughts when you leaned towards him and spoke, "Here, open this."
He smiled as he took the present from you, admiring how naturally beautiful you were. You caught sight of his smiling and got a goofy grin of your own. "What?"
"Nothing."
"Stop looking at me like that then." You turned your head to try and hide the fact that you were blushing under his gaze.
"Like what? Like I love you?" He chuckled at you.
"Shut up and open your gift." You grabbed some bunched up wrapping paper and chucked it at his head. Axel dodged it then nodded and started to unwrap the gift.
Surprisingly you both did very good at getting each other gifts this year, buying things that the other had wanted but never thought to ask for. The two of you opened all of the presents under the tree and then made your way to the kitchen into the kitchen where you informed Axel that you were going to make a special Christmas breakfast. He wasn't quite sure what that entailed but he sat at the table anyway.
Axel watched you dance around the kitchen, humming to yourself as you cooked again remembering how lucky he was. After a few minutes he got curious so he walked up behind you, wrapped his arms around your waist and rested his chin on your shoulder.
"Go sit down. It's suppose to be surprise." You lifted your left hand and tried to cover his eyes while attempting to flip a pancake with your right.
"But [Name].." Axel turned his head and started giving you delicate kisses down your neck.
You stopped for a moment and turned around lacing your fingers behind his neck as he hugged around your waist. Without saying a word he pressed his lips against yours in a rough yet sweet kiss. Your lips moved in sync with one anothers and Axel tried pulling you closer to him. You could feel him smiling against your lips and that's when you pulled back.
Reaching back, you stuck your finger in the pancake batter then brought it up to his nose and smeared it from there to his cheek. "Now go sit."
After a few more minutes you finally perfected your masterpiece and you walked over to the table and sat two plates down, one in front of your seat the other in front of Axel. He looked down at his plate and saw it was santa made up of pancake, strawberries, and whipped cream.
"You're so cute." Your boyfriend looked up at you while you draped your arms over this shoulders and leaned down to give him a brief kiss.
"Merry Christmas, Axel!"
With a smile he kissed you back. "Merry Christmas, [Name]!"
