Christmas Wish (Shizuo Heiwajima x Reader)

Christmas was always a holiday that you enjoyed dearly. It wasn't because of the presents that made you love it so much; it was because of how closely it brings people together. Whether it be cooking for Christmas dinner, decorating the tree, or even sitting down drinking hot cocoa with the people you care about the most. Christmas was and always would be a holiday you loved the most.

Sitting on the couch in Shinra's apartment with Shizuo right by your side, you could already tell that this would be a Christmas worth remembering. As Celty and Shinra were off in the kitchen preparing desert, you couldn't help but cuddle up against Shizuo- your boyfriend of over two years. You couldn't believe you had been with him for all that time, it seemed like only months for you. There was no doubt in your mind that he was the one, you only wished he thought the same.

As strong as his feelings are for you, you couldn't help but think that there was a chance he didn't love you as much as you loved him; that he didn't want the relationship to go any further than it was already. All your life, you always made Christmas wishes each year, but the only wish you had for that year was to know if Shizuo truly loved you as much as you loved him.

Shinra and Celty walked out from the kitchen each holding a plate full of delicious looking desserts. They placed the plates on the coffee table before taking a seat across from you and Shizuo.

"Sorry for taking so long, Celty was making me so flustered back there with her sexy-" Celty cut him off with a punch to his gut before rapidly typing on her phone.

Just ignore him. Please, have as many sweets as you want, I baked them all, she typed.

Not needing to be told twice, you grabbed two cupcakes and handed one to Shizuo who hesitated before taking a bite from it. You devoured the cupcake right away, getting some of the red frosting on your nose.

"Hey, look, Shizuo," you said as you looked up to him. "I'm Rudolph."

He snorted. "You're so goddamn cute," he said before wiping the frosting off your nose with his finger and soon after leaned down to place a quick kiss on your lips.

"Ah, young love. Remember when we were together before we got married, Celty?" Shinra asked as he wrapped an arm around her.

We never even dated. You just proposed to me out of the blue, she wrote.

"But you said yes so we must've had something going on!" he exclaimed.

You and Shizuo laughed at Shinra's display of affection. Celty started typing again.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you both for coming over to our place for Christmas Eve. We invited the others, but everyone else already had plans.

"Thanks for inviting us, being here was probably the best way I could spend my Christmas," you said as you rested your head in the crook of Shizuo's neck. He absentmindedly started to stroke your hair. He seemed so out of it but you had no idea why.

"Did you ever invite your brother, Shizuo?" Shinra asked, sitting straighter up in the chair. You felt Shizuo's body suddenly stiffen.

"He couldn't make it," he said gruffly.

Feeling the tension in the air, no one dared to push for any more answers. Was his brother not attending the reason why he seemed so out of it? It surely couldn't be, Shizuo knows how busy his brother always is. Still, it was a possibility.

Shinra and I are going to go clean up in the kitchen now, Celty typed right before standing up.

"W-wait, we are?" Shinra asked as he swallowed a big piece of a cupcake. Without responding, Celty grabbed his arm and started pulling him away with her. "Wow, Celty, I didn't know you were this eager to be alone with me!"

You waited until the married couple was out of earshot before turning to Shizuo. You were starting to worry about him, you had no idea what was wrong. Did you do something?

"Are you okay?" you asked him softly.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Are you upset that your brother didn't come?"

"No. He has his own life as a movie star, I know how busy he is."

"Then what's wrong? Because it's obvious that something is going on with you."

He hesitated a moment. "I'm just worried," he sighed as he leaned back and stretched his arms in the air.

"Worried about what?"

His lowered his arms and stuffed his right hand into his coat pocket. "Worried about your answer."

"What answer?"

Suddenly, he got off the couch and knelt on one knee in front of you. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and held it out to you to reveal a stunning diamond ring. You felt your heart to start beating rapidly and your mind froze, unable to process what was currently happening.

"(Y/N), you're the love of my life and I always want you to be here with me. Will you marry me?" he asked, showing a side to him that he rarely ever showed, not even to you.

Your mind finally started to process everything at once and you couldn't help but start to cry. Your only response was wrapping your arms around his neck and slamming your lips against his, giving him the best answer you possibly could.

Your tears of joy only increased when he carefully slipped the life changing ring onto your finger. Even he, Shizuo Heiwajima, was close to tears when he realized that you would always be his.

Your Christmas wish came true.
