Wrapping presents,

Honestly the hardest thing of the Christmas period, for some reason your boyfriend Hercules could wrap them like a pro, you were just stuck with- well.

Let's just say they looked as if a hurricane had swept the paper up and tore it.

You sighed tiredly and looked at the mess in your apartment you shared with the tailors apprentice. The door opened and in came the lumbering teddy bear that you may have a massive crush on, who knows? Well. You would hope so, he's your boyfriend.

"What the hell happened here?" He asked, you sighed, feeling frustrated to the point of tears. "I tried," you whimpered, "I really tried." You brought your knees up to your chest and took a deep breath.

In and out. In and out. In and out. In and out.

You felt a pair of arms wrap around you and you melted into them. "It's okay." A soothing voice whispered. "We can put them all in gift bags or I could help you." He played some music on his phone and then kissed your forehead.

You wiped your eyes and then sniffed, sitting up, "yeah, let's do this." You mumbled, Hercules smiled watching you. Then he lifted your chin and kissed you gently. You smiled into it and then you listened to the Ed Sheeran song you loved.

"They are the sweetest thing that I know you should see the way they hold me when the lights go low. Shakes my soul like a pot hole, every time, took my heart upon a one way trip. Guess they went wandering off with it. Unlike most I know this one will bring it back whole."

Hercules sang along and you smiled. You felt happy with your life.

"Daisies, daisies perched upon your forehead. Oh my baby, lately I know that every night I'll kiss you, you'll say in my ear."

You joined in only pausing to say, "oh we're in love aren't we?" You asked, looking up at your gentle giant. He smiled and you studied his face, his wide hazel brown eyes that stared back at you with love in them, his slightly open lips, his muscular face, his stubble and you were in love. "Yes," he whispered.

"Hands in your hair, fingers and thumbs baby, I feel safe when you're holding me near. Love the way that you conquer your fear. You know hearts don't break around here. Oh yeah yeah yeah , yeah yeah yeah yeah."

You both thought back to when you had taken the spider out the apartment whilst freaking out and Hercules had gone into an old antique doll shop. Sure, he freaked and ran but he went in. Then you both laughed.

"They are the river flow in Orwell and tin wind chimes used for doorbells. Fields and trees and their smell, fill my lungs. Spent my summer time beside them and the rest of the year the same. She is the flint that sparks the lighter and the fuel that will hold the flame."

Hercules kissed you again and by now you'd both forgotten the wrapping paper that was strewn about the place as you danced. "Oh roses roses laid upon your bed spread. Oh my, hold this, oh this, I know. That every night I'll kiss you you'll say in my ear."

"Oh we're in love aren't we?" You asked, leaning up to kiss him, he nodded. Kissing you

"Hands in your hair, fingers and thumbs baby. I feel safe when you're holding me near. Love the way that you conquer your fear. You know hearts don't break around here, oh yeah yeah yeah!"

Hercules placed his finger on up your lips and pulled something out of his back pocket.

"Well I found love in the inside the arms of a person I know. They are the lighthouse in the night that will safely guide me home and I'm not scared of passing over. Or the thought of growing old because from now until I go, every night I'll kiss you, you'll say in my ear.-"

You looked at him confused and whispered "oh we're in love aren't we?"

"Hands in your hair, fingers and thumbs baby. I feel safe when you're holding me near. Love the way that you conquer your fear."

Hercules got down on one knee and pulled out a ring, you stared at him.

"You know hearts don't break around here."

He waited for your reaction, but almost toppled over when you barrelled into him. "Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah."

It was perfect.

"GUYS WE CAUGHT IT ALL ON TAPE!!!" You both whirled round and saw your best friends, the 'Hamilsquad,' and the Schuyler sisters.

"How'd you get in?" Hercules asked, gripping your hand tightly. "I 'ave a key," Lafayette smirked. "Guys, go away."
