☃️Ashton☃️
The lights of the tree reflected off of the glossy windows, and you could see the refracted beams staining the new blanket of powdery snow that was steadily growing on the ground. The frost was just beginning to form against the edge of the glass and tendril in as the world began to eagerly fall asleep.

You should be following in their footsteps, laying down your head on the warm pillow upstairs and cocoon your body in piles of soft blankets to insulate you through the cool night.

You just couldn't bring yourself to sleep alone again.

It was Christmas Eve, Ashton was supposed to be home hours ago, but his flight was continuously delayed until ultimately being canceled by the storm that had brought you the picturesque white landscape.

You pressed your forehead and hands against the thin barrier protecting you from the outside world, hearing the clink of your left ring finger against the windowpane. Your first married Christmas will be spent alone. All of the brightly wrapped presents you had set under the tree for him will go unopened, you'll have to drink your hot cocoa and wear fuzzy socks to keep warm without his warm skin constantly against yours. No more waking up on Christmas morning with Ashton at your side. No more hanging your "First Christmas Married" ornament together. It would all have to be put off, and none of it could be done on Christmas.

Everything that you had been dreaming about for weeks was suddenly spoiled.

A single, bitter tear slid out of your eye and you sniffled as you swiped it away. It was pathetic really, you weren't a little kid anymore, Christmas morning shouldn't be so important. But it still was.

It felt like Christmas was more of a place than a time. A loving, beautiful place of giving and showing others how much they mean to you. In Christmas everyone is happy and the lights are always bright and the music is always playing.

Maybe, for one day, Earth and Christmas are the same place. Twenty four hours of peace and love and hope, once a year.

And the one person you really wanted to celebrate with was gone.

A deep sigh escaped your lips and fogged the glass. Somewhere behind you the old grandfather clock chimed to let you know there were fifteen minutes left of Christmas Eve, and soon Christmas morning would arrive.

You didn't want to be awake when it came, and have to acknowledge that you were alone on Christmas for the first time in your life.

You turned away from the window and began the walk up to your bedroom. Halfway up the stairs, your phone vibrated.

For a moment, your heart leaped. Maybe he was coming, maybe he was right outside and he just needed you to let him in!

You stopped and your hands were suddenly shaking as you stuffed them into your pocket and wrenched your phone out.

💒Ashton💌
I'll be home for Christmas, If only in my dreams...

You let out a shaky breath as you squinted at the bright screen. What did that mean?

You were still staring in shock when another text came through:

ENDING 1:
💒Ashton💌
I'm going to call you

Just after you read the text, Ashton's lovely face popped up on your screen and you quickly accepted the call.

"Baby? What's going on?" You asked softly, not trying to hide the confusion in your voice.

"I'm really sorry babe," Ashton let out a sigh that crackled in your ears and made your heart drop. "I really tried so hard, I'll be there as early as I can, I have a flight for the 26th at 5 A.M." he apologized even though it wasn't his fault.

"I'm okay Ashton." You didn't even believe yourself. You were about ready to cry again, and it made your tone low and raspy as you tried to hold it all together.

"No it's not! It's our first Christmas Married and..." he sighed again. "I just... I wish I could be there with you in person. But always remember, I gave you my heart a long time ago, and you always have that part of me. I'm always with you Y/N and you're always with me."

You sniffled and stared down at your lap. He was right, you and Ashton were never truly apart, as sappy as it was to say, he always had you with him.

"And you have me." You just finished speaking before the clock went off again, this time striking midnight. It was Christmas.

"Merry Christmas baby," Ashton whispered, "I love you."

"Merry Christmas babe, I love you too."

And even if he wasn't with you in person, you could feel Ashton there on Christmas morning.

ENDING 2:
💒Ashton💌
Open the door

You gasped as three loud knocks echoed up to you.

It couldn't be.

"Y/N?" You could hear his voice calling for you through the door.

It was.

Your mind went blank and your heart soared. Without a second thought you went sprinting down the stairs, and threw open the door.

He was there. Ashton. Bundled under his winter coat with a hat pulled down over his ears so that just the ends of his golden curls peeked out.

His arms opened and you jumped into them, wrapping your arms around his neck and burying your face in his snowy neck.

"You're here!" You cried into his shoulder and pushed yourself closer.

"It's gonna take a lot more than some stupid snow to keep me away from you on Christmas," Ashton said as his arms wrapped around you just a little tighter.

You spent a few moments wrapped in each other's arms until the cold began to nip at you, and you shivered.

"Let's get you inside," luggage forgotten, Ashton swept you up off your feet and carried You bridal style into the house. He kicked the door shut with a heavy boot and then set you down carefully.

You didn't let him straighten out before you were pulling him down again, and your lips came together just as the clock struck midnight.

"Merry Christmas baby, I love you," Ashton smiled against your lips.

"Merry Christmas babe, I love you more," you replied between kisses.

He was all you wanted for Christmas, and you got your wish.

Cheesy as Hell but that's just who I am atm

HAPPY BREAK

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS
