In Real Life Imagines

All I Want for Christmas (Michael Imagine)

*for Rsipley*

"Merry Christmas!" Michael exclaims as he opens the door.

I smile and walk inside, admiring all the decorations in his house. "Merry Christmas babe."

I kiss his cheek softly and slip my coat off, hanging it in the front hall closet as I always do.

"Ray! You're here!" Patrick comes out of the kitchen, eating a cookie and gives me a gentle hug.

"Of course! I wouldn't miss my little buddy on Christmas!" I hug him back and Michael chuckles as he watches us.

His family comes out from the kitchen then and I smile as they all greet me.

"I'm so glad you decided to spend Christmas with us. Michael talks about you all the time and I thought it would be nice to get to know the girl he's so in love with," Michael's mom says.

I blush and look over at Michael who scratches the back of his neck nervously. "Mom, stooopppp," He whines.

I laugh and slide my hand around Michael's arm. "Thank you for inviting me. I'm excited to be here."

She smiles and goes back to the kitchen to cook. "You're so in love with me huh?" I tease.

Michael chuckles and slides his hands around my waist, looking down at me. "Mayyybbbeee."

"Well Michael Conor, I'm so in love with you too." I smile and look up at him, my hands resting against his chest. He grins brightly and leans down, brushing his nose against mine lightly before connecting our lips in a slow, passionate kiss. I smile against his lips, kissing him back immediately. 

"Mm, what was that for?" I ask as he pulls away.

Michael shrugs and points up. I follow his finger and see a mistletoe hanging in the doorway and I laugh, shoving him playfully. "You totally did that on purpose!"

"Did I?" He teases with a small laugh.

As we sit down with his family to eat dinner we all get to talking and I feel a bond with all of them. They all remind me of Michael so much and I can see where he gets his personality from.

"So Rayanna, where did you and Michael meet?" His sister Kaitlyn asks.

"I actually bumped into him, literally. I was in a rush to get to a dinner date because I was running late, and I ran right into him. I apologized at least ten times I think. I had no idea as we were talking that he was from Boyband; it just did not hit me. I kept thinking 'who is this cute boy? I need him in my life.' I never made it to that dinner date," I explain, smiling as I reminisce. 

"When did you know you wanted to be together?" His other sister, Erica chimes in.

I look at Michael and he leans forward in anticipation, causing me to blush. "Yeah, when did you know you wanted to be with me?" He asks.

I bite the inside of my cheek and think for a moment as everyone watches me intently. "I think I knew I wanted to be with you that day when you invited me to Disney because the band had an extra ticket. You introduced me as 'your girl' and I thought it was so cute. You made a point to include me in whatever you guys were doing or talking about which made me feel appreciated. Plus, I just genuinely had a good time with you."

Michael smiles then and kisses my temple. "I was going to say that you were my girlfriend, but I remembered that I hadn't asked you officially yet so I stopped short and accidentally said 'my girl' but it worked out I guess."

I smile and nod and his mom and sisters "awww".

Brendan scrunches up his nose slightly. "You guys are gross."

"Michael literally talks about you every chance he gets," Patrick adds.

Michael smacks him in the back of the head lightly and Patrick grins, cleaning up his dishes. "What? It's true!"

Michael rolls his eyes. "How about we stop talking about us now?"

A few hours later we are all sitting around the living room to open presents. I curl up against Michael, resting my head on his shoulder and he drapes an arm around my shoulders lightly as we watch his family open their gifts from us. I bite my lip nervously, hoping I got them stuff they would like.

"You didn't have to get us anything," Kaitlyn comments as she folds up the sweatshirt I got her.

"Well you guys graciously let me into your home for the holidays. It was the least I could do to repay you. I just hope you guys like everything."

"Everything is beautiful. Thank you Rayanna," His mom says with a warm smile. I smile and nod and Michael squeezes my shoulder gently, almost as an 'I told you so'.

"You next Ray." Michael sits up slightly and pushes a small box toward me. I bite my lip and tear off the wrapping paper, opening the box carefully. Inside is a beautiful Pandora bracelet with four charms on it. I gasp and pull it out, sliding it onto my wrist right away. "Mike..."

"Do you like it? I wanted it to be our special gift. I got a coffee charm because that's where we went when we first bumped into each other. I got the star charm because we ended our first date staring up at the stars. I got the mickey charm because of our Disney adventure. and I got the stocking charm because this is our first Christmas together."

I smile and lean over to kiss him softly, my hand sliding around his cheek slowly. "I love it Michael. Thank you so much. It's thoughtful and so beautiful."

Michael smiles and pulls me closer to him, kissing my cheek. "I'm glad you like it. Hopefully there are many more Christmases to come."

"If you keep treating her like this, there's going to be a lot of them. I'm proud of you son," His mom says with a bright smile.

Michael beams happily and rests his chin on the top of my head. "Thanks mom. Merry Christmas Ray."

"Merry Christmas Michael. I didn't get you anything nearly as good." I say after a moment, biting the inside of my cheek nervously.

"That's fine. All I want for Christmas is you...not to be cheesy or anything."

I giggle and kiss Michael softly again. "That was super cheesy."

"Good. I totally lied when I said I wasn't trying to be cheesy." Michael grins against my lips and we both laugh, scooting closer to each other if that's even possible.

We stay like that until we are ready to go to bed. It ended up being a perfect Christmas.

*sorry this took so long! I had such a busy weekend and had no time to work on it! I hope you enjoy it!*
