*Your POV*

Today is the Christmas party here at the London Institute. I was staring at the full-length mirror and admired the Y/F/C/ dress I had on. My hair was plaited and pinned into a neat bun on my head with a little glitter in it.

As I looked in the mirror, I started thinking back to when I was younger. I started thinking of a certain person. Will Herondale.

*Flashback*

Today the institute are getting a new resident, I was standing in the entrance hall of the institute as we waited. Then through the door came a boy around my age. He had dark hair and piercing blue eyes. 

"Everyone, this is Will Herondale. Make him feel welcome." The Henry, the head of the institute said.

I smiled at him but he seemed to ignore it and asked to be taken to his room. I watched as he left, with a frown on my face. I haven't had a friend in my life, well at least not someone my age. I was hoping we could be friends, I guess not.

*End of flashback*

That was the first day I bet my best friend Will. It's been 6 years now and we're both 18. Since then, we have made and a new friend. Jem Carstairs. Since Jem came, all three of us have been inseparable. 

Since we've practically have grown up together, we haven't left each other's side. But with growing up, comes new things. Such as new emotions, and feelings. And that's what's led to today. Me, having a crush on my best friend Will. 

As I was swimming in my thought, there was a knock at my door.

"Come in."

I turned around and saw Jem enter my room. 

"Y/N, you look beautiful."

"Thank you Jem, you look quite handsome yourself."

"Well, the party is in full swing downstairs. But before we go down, I have a present for you. Think of it as an early Christmas present."

"You didn't have to give me an early gift Jem. I don't have one for you."

"Don't worry about it, now close your eyes."

I closed my eyes like I was asked. Whilst my eyes were closed, I felt something cool be placed around my neck. 

"OK, open up."

I looked down, to see my family ring on a chain around my neck.

"I love it Jem. Thank you."

"I remembered you saying your family ring was too big for your finger, so I thought I'd do this so you can always wear it."

We both then headed downstairs to the party. Jem kindly offered me his arm as he leads me into the room in which a lot of dancing and talking was taking place. Everybody was dressed in their best clothes. A large Christmas tree stood proudly in the back corner, decorated to look like a winter wonderland.

"Y/N, you look incredible." I turned to see the one and only Will Herondale. He wore a black suit with a Y/F/C tie.

"You look quite handsome yourself Will."

"May I have this dance?"

"You may"

I took Will's hand as he leads me to the centre of the room. He placed one hand on my waist and the other in my hand, whilst I placed one hand on his shoulder and the other in his hand. The music played and Will and I me and Will waltzed around the room. Everyone watched us, but as my eyes held Will's it felt like we were the only ones in the room.

As the music ended, people clapped whilst Will and I left the floor. I gently looped my arm with Will's as he leads me out to the balcony facing the gardens of the Institute. Snow had slowly begun to fall, painting the garden as a winter wonderland. I shivered at a slight cold breeze passed over us. 

"Are you cold?" asked Will. Gosh, his voice was like an angel.

"Only a little, it is snowing after all."

"Here." He removed his suit jacket and placed it over my shoulders. I wrapped the jacket around myself, sighing at its warmth.

"Thanks, Will. You didn't have to give me your jacket, what if you get cold?"

"It's no problem, and I would rather get cold than let a beautiful girl get cold."

I blushed, red dusting my cheeks. Though it was hard to tell from the cold. "You think I'm beautiful?"

"Of course I do. You are very beautiful. And kind. And Caring. The list goes on. You're...Perfect." He took a step closer to me and held my hand as he spoke, looking directly into my eyes as he confessed.

"Well I thin you are very handsome, smart, funny. My list could go on. You are perfect to me Will, you always have been." I smiled up at him. My eyes flickered up as I saw something hanging from the railing above us.

"Mistletoe." we both uttered. My eyes looked to the left of it and I could see the smile of Jem as looked down at us. I'm going to kill him after this. I looked back at Will, who was looking at me smiling.

His hand reached up and cupped my rosy cheek as he slowly leaned down. I took a small intake of breath as his lips meet mine in a fiery kiss. My mind exploded with fireworks. It was perfect, better than I could have imagined.

We pulled apart to take a breath of air. I'm sure my whole face was red now. "Wow, that was...perfect."

"It was. Y/N, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, of course."

He leaned down and whispered in my ear. "How long have you liked me?"

"uhh, for a while...maybe slice we became friends."

"Well Y/N. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course Will, I wouldn't have it any other way."

Will smiled brightly, pulling me in for another explosive kiss.
