Christmas Party (Really long chapter oops)

Christmas day with all your family ad friends, was the best thing ever. You were especially excited for Soulla, Abbie and Blake to come. You'd had a little crush on him ever since your parents had become friends. Okay, maybe the crush wasn't that small. He was VERY fit, though.

He was in the year above you at school and you always saw each other around and said hello. He didn't know that the little waves he sent to you made your heart lift, or that every time he spoke to you it made butterflies erupt in your stomach. Only one person knew. Your gay best friend, Tommy. And all his family were coming over too.

Every year your mum and dad hosted a huge Christmas party in your house and garden. Your relatives, Blake's family, your best friend's family and a load of other people that you knew from somewhere. You didn't even know half the people that came over, so you tended to stick with Tommy.

Tommy arrived a few hours earlier, handing your parents their presents and cards before coming and giving you a huge hug. "Merry Christmas, y/n. Here you are," He said, passing you a present. "Aww Tommy that's so sweet. Merry Christmas to you too. Come with me to grab your present," You lead him upstairs to your room, where his present was.

"Y/n. Don't tell me you're wearing that ugly Christmas sweater to the party," Tommy tutted, shaking his head. You looked down at your outfit, desperately trying to explain that it had "festive spirit" and that "It'd do". He was having none of it. He was some sort of fashion genius and knew exactly what you should wear. He pulled out a short gold sparkly dress from your wardrobe and passed it to you. "Sassy, sexy and 100% Christmassy. Blake will love it," He smirked, throwing a pair of skin coloured tights out at you too. "Now, go change. Knock him dead," He added, shooing you out the room and towards the bathroom.

You reappeared looking like an absolute goddess, having completed a festive makeup look and straightening your hair. "O.M.G, y/n. You look incredible! Blake won't be able to keeps his eyes off of you, or his hands," He winked, slapping your bum. You whipped around pointing a finger muttering a jokey "watch it" to him.

Everyone had arrived and you were so nervous. Blake was here and he looked absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. He had a green jumper on, his hair styled like usual, a long silver necklace on, some black skinny jeans and some brown Timberland boots, making his even taller than usual. You were a bit on the short side... especially compared to Tommy or Blake. 

Your mum was laying out several trays of canapés while your dad found the perfect party playlist on Spotify, blasting it through speakers around the house. The house was very cramped, the only place no one really was was outside. You were going to be making s'mores, candy cane hot chocolates and messing about with sparklers a bit. You and Tommy headed outside. You stood in the cold, chatting and laughing, when Blake and Abbie came outside. "Well here he comes, y/n. Play it cool. You got this, girl," He whispered as they came over.

"Y/n! Tommy!" Blake exclaimed as he joined the two of you, j20 in hand. He gave Tommy a hug and while you and Abbie hugged, before swapping over. You took the chance while in his embrace to breathe in his scent quickly, without seeming creepy. He smelt of expensive aftershave, deodorant and boys musk. You began the usual party conversation - "How've you been?" "What've you been up to?"  etc. - before your mum called all four of your inside. 

"Kids, would you mind setting up all the hot chocolate and s'mores stuff for me? It's all on the side, just take it to the garden tables ad pop them down in a somewhat nice arrangement," She smiled, gesturing to the ingredients. The 4 of you headed over, reaching for bowls and plates to grab. You reached for a bowl of melted chocolate when your hand met Blake's warm one instead of the cold surface of the bowl's edge. Chills shot up your arm, apologizing quickly. He just dipped his finger in the bowl and licked off the chocolatey substance. You copied him with a giggle before grabbing the candy canes and following him to the tables.

A couple of hours later, everyone came outside to light their sparklers and slurp their warm drinks. Your mum lit Blake's sparkler first, and he turned to you, trying to light yours next. He smiled up at you, the light from the mini firework lighting up his eyes. You smiled back down, lighting Tommy's sparkler with your lit end before dancing around with it. A few things were almost burned down, but it was your mum's fault for entrusting you with what is essentially fire on a stick anyway.

After the sparkler episode, you all sat on the grass around a big campfire with s'mores and hot chocolates. You were getting really cold. Maybe short sleeves weren't the best idea. Blake noticed your shivering and quickly shuffled closer, taking off his coat, and offering it to you. "No, Blake. You'll freeze!" You exclaimed. "Yeah but at least I have sleeves, y/n. You'll freeze even more!" He replied, wrapping the warm coat around you. You blushed and smiled slightly, looking up at Tommy, who just winked and nodded at Blake. You didn't notice that he was now placing an arm over your shoulders to keep you even warmer. You shuffled closer to make it easier for him, your knees folding over each others'. This made you shiver, which made Blake think that you were still cold. He held both of your small hands in his larger one and brought them closer to his face, breathing his hot breath on them. You smiled up at hm before watching the fire flicker, his arm still wrapped around you.

It was Christmas Games time! everyone went back through the living room, squeezing onto the arms of sofas and on each other's laps. You stood in the doorway, watching on. You didn't want to take part. Blake came and stood next to you in the doorway, squeezing out from in between your uncle and some random family member you'd forgotten. "Are you not gonna come play, y/n/n?" He asked, looking deeply into your eyes. Your response was cut short by your dad's booming voice.

"OH YES!" He shouted, "SOMEONE HAS WALKED INTO MY TRAP!" He pointed at the two of you. You were so confused. Everyone gasped in delight as they pointed at the mistletoe berries that hung above your heads. You looked up, gulping slightly. You looked back into his deep brown pools, as his flickered from your lips, to your body, to your eyes. He leant in, his lips meeting yours. Metaphorical fireworks exploded around the two of you as his hands met your body.

"Guys, steady on. The whole family is here," Tommy pointed out, getting a little grossed out but excited for you at the same time. You pulled away in embarrassment, a heavy blush flooding your cheeks quickly. You both quickly turned back to face the others, still stood in the doorway. You felt his finger gently grip yours as he lead you to the carpet to sit down together.

"I've been waiting to do that for years," he whispered to you.

BLOOMIN HECK THAT WAS A LONG ASS CHAPTER

I hope you enjoyed it though, I hope it met your cliche/Blake/festive needs.

For those confused, imagine this as a different way of getting together, if you hadn't already gathered that.

I actually really enjoyed writing this chapter, even though I'm really lazy and this is the longest chapter in this book so far.

Enjoy, my festive ones!
