Simon: xiXmas

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄❤️

"And what do you think you're doing?" You asked, your arms crossed and an amused expression on your face. JJ and Simon immediately jump back, surprised you had entered the room.
"Uhhh..." Simon struggled to come up with an explanation.
"Just seeing if everything's here." JJ lied, throwing a scrap of wrapping paper onto the floor.
"Snooping are we?" You questioned, the boys' eyes widening.
"Snooping? Pppffft of course not..." JJ rolled his eyes.
"Then why are all of the presents pulled out from under the tree?" You smirk as the boys look behind them to see every present spread sporadically across the wooden floor.
"Fuck sake, must've been Ethan searching for his virginity." Simon shrugged with a laugh.
"Are they snooping again?" Josh asked walking into the room with a bin bag full of presents.
"Big time." You replied as Josh shook his head.
"You two are like a pair of fucking children." He chuckled kneeling in front of the tree and placing the presents back underneath neatly. He then began pulling out wrapped gifts from the bin bag and checking the tags, before placing them under too.
"More presents?!" JJ gasped excitedly.
"These aren't even a fraction of how many there are left." Josh laughed.
"This is why I loved the idea of spending Christmas with you guys!" Simon smiled brightly.

You heard your bedroom door creaking open and then light footsteps across the carpet. Then you felt the end of your bed dip in and some soft, almost silent, giggles. You opened your eyes slightly, the bleak deep navy of the sky outside shining through the small gap in the middle of the curtains, indicating morning had almost arrived. You look towards the end of your bed, rolling your eyes as you saw a broad figure stood on top of your duvet.

"JJ fuck off...don't you dare." You mumbled, sleep still apparent in your voice.
"MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS (Y/N)!!!!!" JJ screamed bouncing up and down on your bed. JJ was always the first awake, excluding Vik staying awake all night, on Christmas and it had become an irritating tradition for him to wake you up in the early hours of Christmas morning.
"Ughhhhh." You grumbled.
"WAKE UP, COME ON, SANTA'S BEEN!!!"
"Fuck you Jide." Simon groaned walking out of his room and into the bathroom.
"Oh god you woke the whole house." You sighed tiredly, running your eyes.
"I DON'T CARE, IT'S MOTHERFUCKING CHRISTMAS! GET YO ASS UP!" He cackled excitedly running out of your room and down the stairs.
"Remind me again why we let him move in with us?" Simon chuckled leaning against your doorframe.
"I honestly don't know." You smirked pulling back the duvet and placing your warm feet onto the cooler fluffy carpet. "Merry Christmas Si."
"Merry Christmas (Y/N)." Simon smiled.

Walking into the living room you were instantly hit with the festiveness off the room. The Christmas tree was lit, with Christmas lights shining across the TV stand and across the walls. Tinsel was strung across the ceilings and the presents under the tree were being pulled out by a very excited JJ.

"Jesus, JJ, is everyone even awake?" You yawned, sitting down on the black leather sofa, your fluffy dressing gown wrapped around you.
"Vik is in the shower, Josh and Freya are waking up, fuck knows what that lanky twat is doing and you're here! Now, present time!!" JJ grinned sorting the presents into piles.
"Jide what about the others?"
"Morning." Tobi groaned, shuffling into the living room and dropping onto the sofa beside you. All of the boys had stayed over in order to spend the entire day together.
"Fucking hell, kill me." Harry growled jumping onto the opposite sofa face down.
"Will you all stop being such Scrooge cunts and just enjoy Christmas? Fuck sake!" JJ exclaimed turning on the TV, allowing festive music to play throughout the house.
"We do enjoy Christmas JJ, it's just getting woke up at 5am by you spilling water onto my head doesn't make me feel festive." Ethan quietly laughs sitting on the floor, Emily sat next to him, yawning.

"Awwww, Josh thank you!" Freya grinned admiring her silver necklace that Josh had got her. They both shared a kiss before Simon handed you a gift wrapped in silver paper with a black bow.
"Did you wrap this?" You questioned knowing his wrapping skills were pretty bad.
"Yeah of course!" He smirked. You raised your eyebrow as he began laughing. "Okay, so maybe Emily helped a little, but I honestly tried!"

You tore off the paper and we're faced with a small black leather box. You looked at Simon questioningly as he urged you to open it. You slowly lifted the lid and your eyes fell upon a beautiful white marbled bracelet, the initials of your name engraved in the small silver plaque. You were lost for words. Usually, Simon would buy you a jokey present like the rest of the boys but this was too much. You couldn't accept this.

"Simon, I can't accept this!" You protested, Simon smiling happily.
"You have to." He smiled. "I'm not taking no for an answer."
"But why? This is too expensive!"
"I don't care, I want you to have it." He grinned as everyone kept their gazes upon you two. There it was again, the connection. The connection you had whenever Simon looked at you. The connection that everyone had noticed apart from the pair of you.
"It's so beautiful Simon. Thank you so much." You beamed as you leant forward, hugging him.
"No problem. Merry Christmas you idiot."

As the day drew on, you all slowly calmed down and enjoyed a huge Christmas dinner. You helped Freya and Emily in the kitchen and you were pretty proud of yourself for cooking a bomb dinner. Everyone was full and were playing board games and listening to music in the living room, laughing and singing away. You were finishing the rest of the washing up, the others reluctantly allowing you to clear away only the few plates that remained. You didn't mind though, it allowed you to think to yourself.

"Let me help you." You heard a voice say as they entered the kitchen.
"Simon, honestly I got it." You smiled, thankful for his offer to help.
"Okay, okay. I just wanted to say thank you again for my watch. It's honestly so sick." He grinned, storing away the clean plates and cups.
"It's fine, and thank you for my stunning bracelet."
"It's a pleasure. It was too beautiful not to get for you to be honest."
"Well I love it." He smiled, relieved you adored the present he had spent a while searching for for you. "You weren't snooping yesterday were you?"
"I told you I wasn't." He bit his lip.
"What were you doing?"
"I was trying to put in the bracelet. I left it until the last minute to wrap it. Mainly the reason Emily helped me...that and I'm terrible at wrapping." He chuckled nervously. "Not as bad as JJ though." He joked taking another shot at Jide's music.

"Come on you two, you need to join this game!" Tobi shouted from the living room. You and Simon both started to walk towards the doorway, Simon's hand pulling your arm back.

"Yeah?" You whispered.
"Look." He whispered back, both of your heads tilting upwards to see a piece of mistletoe hung from the doorframe. Who's idea was this?
"Huh. Mistletoe, would you look at that." You breathed, Simon subconsciously standing close to you. You could smell his alluring aftershave on him, his smell comforting to you.
"Its tradition to kiss under mistletoe." Simon nodded slowly.
"Oh yeah."
"It'd be bad to break tradition."
"Yeah it would. I guess you're right."
