"josh! joshua wake up it's christmas!" i heard melanie's voice echo through my ears. my body was pressured to what seemed like melanie being on top of me, jumping up and down. "wake up, dad." she playfully slapped my cheeks back and fourth until i smiled and opened my eyes, flipping us around immediately.

i inched to her mouth, staring at it lazily until she stopped me and slid out underneath my grip. "just 'cause i brushed my teeth doesn't mean yours are clean! she chuffed away and sat on the stool for my old drum set in my room. she mindlessly tapped the drumsticks on different places, obviously not knowing what was what. she smiled when she made a small upbeat melody, and it made me stare in awe.

i decided to hurry up and get ready before we open gifts downstairs, me being slightly excited to give melanie her gifts. i did some amazon shopping over the tour, making sure i got a gift for everyone.

but melanie's got me excited more than ever.

christmas morning was actually amazing for me. even though the family apologized several
times for not getting me gifts, with the exception of joshua, they still offered to buy me some. which i politely declined with.

"alright you banshees, your father, and soon-to-be step-father for melanie," laura winked at me and i blushed, cuddling into josh on the couch, "will make breakfast. then we'll head to church. go play with your new crap or whatever," she waved off and we laughed, heading to our rooms. once we were back in josh's room, he closed the door rather more forcefully than a regular person would. it made me jump a little, but i kept walking to the bed until he stopped me before i jumped on it.

josh stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, snaking his hands up and down my sides. i craned my neck backwards and smiled at him as the back of my head hit his broad shoulder. he dipped his head down and kissed my neck, leaving little bites here and there.

"josh, what're you-"

"i have another gift for you," he murmured into my neck and pushed me down on the bed, flipping me over in time so my back hit the mattress. he hovered over me, placing a quick kiss to my lips before standing back up and walking to another part of his room.

"close your eyes," he commanded in a chimed voice, me obeying in return and sitting up from my laying position on the bed. he shuffled around before padding his feet towards me. "open," is all he said before i flicked my eyes open again to be greeted with a pink-striped box being held before me.

"are you-"

"open it, melanie." he groaned and laughed. i hesitated, but sighed and moved the lid that read VICTORIA'S SECRET in silver letters. underneath this lid was a neatly folded lingerie set of undergarments. i blushed and took it out, eyeing josh from behind it as i held it above my eyes. i saw his obvious smirk and i broke out into a blush, setting the box down and jumping onto josh. my legs swung around his torso immediately as i wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in for a slow, yet tensed kiss.

"do you like it," he stated more than asked in the kiss, biting my bottom lip and growling. i gasped.

josh walked backwards and flipped me to the wall so that it was pressed against my back. he repeated the question and stopped kissing me, both of us panting for air.

"yes, very much," i winked and he groaned, putting our lips together again.

"is this what christmas is?" we heard momma dun ask and giggle as we both snapped our heads to the door, josh setting me down.

"breakfast is ready," she mumbles and snickers, "unless you two wanna eat each other like gingerbread men!" with that she left.

"i like the second option," i suggested.

"m'yeah me too." he hummed and we continued what we started.

"i love you more than... puppies."

"i love you more than cats!" josh protested.

"i love you more than twenty one pilots." i stated in triumph.

"i love you more than drums," josh murmured and i gasped dramatically, looking at him with wide eyes.

"but that's your career,"

"i know, darling. but nothing can get in the way of you." he kissed my temple and held me closer, warmth radiating from the fireplace and joshua himself.

"you know what?" i asked.

"no i don't. tell me,"

"i- you're- i'm- frick!" we laughed, "you're just perfect. you know? wouldn't ask for anyone or anything else. thank you, joshie. i hope you know i love you more."

"but i love you more, cutie." he poked my nose.

"don't try me," i said lowly as josh's mood shifted a bit, straddling me closer and flipping us over so i was below him.

"we'll see who can win this tickle contest."

little did they know that in this precious time they cherished, some good things go bad.
