Chapter Hundred and One

"Merry Christmas.", is the first thing I hear the next morning.

I turn around to see Dan having a huge grin on his face: "Merry Chrsitmas, Dan."

We just lay in bed for another 10 minutes, cuddling and keeping each other warm. Normally I would jump out of bed immediately, but having Dan with me is just a gift already so the one's waiting downstairs are secondary.

But as soon as I smell the smell of Christmas pancakes, I jump up and drag Dan down with me.

My family and I enjoy a big Christmas breakfast with Michael Buble accompanying our singing in the back.

Soon enough, it is time to get ready before the rest of family and friends come over for the dinner, so Dan and I go up to my room again.

And since we are the cringiest couple ever, our outfits accidentally match. Dan and I take an even more cringe mirror selfie, that he posts to Instagram with "she's so obsessed, even copying my style" as the caption, mocking the articles talking about how I am 'obsessed' with him and 'copy' him.

Not to our surprise, everyone and their goldfish goes crazy over that post, but for once, Dan and I just don't give a shit.

The actual Christmas part of the trip went smoothly as well. Dan was surprisingly social and spent most of the time chatting to everyone.

Awkwardly, I had those weird conversations you just have with aunts, when they ask you if you have a boyfriend, if you have a job or a steady life, and for once, I had satisfying answers to every one of them, even being able to say that me, the shy girl that barely has any friends, is moving to New York.

Seeing Dan get along with my family very well makes me incredibly happy.
Not only once does someone come up to me and speaks about him in awe, saying how charming and polite he is.

By the end of the night, the food is gone, the drinks in my system and all of the presents exchanged, leaving me with mostly, greatly appreciated, money.

The only presents that aren't exchanged, are the ones I have for Dan and vice versa, but we decided to do that after the actual party finishes and we are alone.

"You start.", he demands.

"Why me?"

"Because I want to save the best for last.", he smirks.

"Oh, so are you trying to say your presents to me are better than mine?", I jokingly tease.

"Probably, yea.", he laughs.

"Well we're going to have to see about that.", I smirk too and pull out the first present I have for him: A matte black record player including records by Kanye, Muse, TØP and FOB.

"Oh my god that is amazing! Thank you so much, babe.", he says and kisses me.

A few more presents follow: an essential malteser candle, an anime and Highschool Musical box set, a long card, black earrings, matte black nail varnish, a chibi totoro onesie and different merch which he is incredibly exited about.

Seeing him so giggly makes me happy about the decision to exchange gifts, because we originally didn't plan to.

"Let's see if I can top that.", he says and pulls out the first thing which is an anime box set of the anime he recommended to me on the day we first met.

All of his presents have such a beautiful meanig behind them, like a chuu totoro onesie so I can finally wear one, the same bowls I dropped when he did the livestream once, since they were my favorites, a card that I can't wait to read, and the same lingerie I wore the day I first slept at his, just in a different color and obviously as a joke.

But the last present is on another level of special: a collage including the piece of paper that chose our luck to kiss eachother on New Years, the pictures of us kissing on that exact day, the plane ticket to TATINOF New York, different polaroids, including the one we took on the beach in Iceland and photobooth pictures, such as the one taken at Zoe and I's launch.

Blown away by the heartfelt present, I just hug him and thank him multiple times.

"That wasn't it.", he says and points to the back of the frame that has a little bracelet attached to it that I gently take off.

It is in the same simple style as my ring and necklace and has a soundwave ingraved.

"It's of Tyler Joseph singing the chorus of Can't Help Falling In Love.", he adds.

"I love it so so much, babe, thank you.", I say and kiss him.

"It's alright.", he says, kissing me back.

I look at the ring, necklace and bracelet I'm wearing: "Looks like my collection's complete!"

He laughs: "Definitely not."

"What else is there to gift? Handcuffs? I know you're kinky but-"

"No, oh my. It's not handcuffs, silly. It's another, more special, ring."
