Chapter 14

(A/N So I decided to do a time skip in the end. It's now the 23rd of December, Finn's birthday. Sorry for the time skip but I wasn't sure what else to do!)

Y/n's Pov

"Morning birthday boy." I say, ruffling Finn's hair as I walk into the kitchen. "Thanks." He says laughing. Finn and I have been spending a lot of time together these past couple of weeks and he's one of my closest friends in the cast. I get out the cereal from the cupboard and two bowls knowing that Finn will want a bowl as well. I make our bowls of cereal and put his in front of him before sitting down at the breakfast bar next to him. "So, what are you up to today?" I ask. We've stopped filming until the 26th and then we'll have another break on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

"Nothing much, I'm just hanging out with my parents. They flew in last night but they can't stay for Christmas which sucks." "That makes two of us." I say. "What?" He asks, confused. "My mum couldn't make it for Christmas either, she's working over the break." "At least we have each other." He says with a small smile. I smile at his remark and we continue eating our cereal in silence. When we finish he take our bowls to the sink and I pull out a neatly wrapped present from under the counter. "Ok so I know you told us not to get you anything for your birthday because it's so close to Christmas but I felt bad so I had to get you something." I say, handing him the present. "Y/nnnnn why did you do this?" He says in a whiny voice. "Nice to know that you're grateful for my gift and it's literally nothing so don't worry about it." "Ugh fine, I hate you sometimes." He says. "You know you love me." I say.

He rolls his eyes and opens the present. It's a family pack of M&Ms, his favourite. "See, it's nothing." I say. "It's not nothing, thank you! How did you know these are my favourite?" "I was a fan before I was your friend, remember?" "Of course. Seriously though, you shouldn't have gotten me anything." He says, pulling me into a hug. "It's fine." I say and we pull apart. "I'm going to head up for a shower before I meet up with my parents. I'll see you later tonight, ok?" He says. "Ok, have fun!" I say. "I will!" He calls, halfway up the stairs.

I wash up the dishes left in the sink and just as I finish I remember something. I haven't gotten Finn's Christmas present yet. Well shit. I run upstairs into my room and sit on a sleeping Millie. "Wake uppppp!" I yell, shaking her. After much difficulty she opens her eyes and says, "Ok, ok I'm up. What time is it?" "12pm. Don't worry it's not that bad, I only woke up 10 minutes ago." I tell her. "Ugh, thank god we're on break." She says, sitting up. "Thank god for that. Now I need you to help me with something." I say. "Yeah, what is it?" "I have no idea what to get Finn for Christmas." She just rolls her eyes and says, "Have a shower and get dressed, we're going to the mall."

Millie and I were at the mall for a little over 2 hours which isn't terrible. I ended up getting Finn a photo frame with a couple of pictures that I printed out of us and the cast together so he can pick which one he wants to use in the frame as well as a new guitar pick since his current one looks like it's about to snap in half. I quickly wrap the present once we get home and put it under the plastic tree we have set up in the basement. I then lay down on the couch and turn on the TV, enjoying the time alone before Finn gets home.

A knock is heard at the door followed by voices fighting over who's going to get it. I eventually get up, sick of the yelling, and open the door just in time to see a red car drive away. "Hey, your parents didn't stay?" I ask Finn once I've let him inside. "No they had to catch their flight back." He says as we walk down to the basement. "Oh so they were literally staying for a day." I say. "Yup." He says, taking out his phone and plopping down on one of the couches. I walk up to the top of the basement stairs and yell, "FINN'S HOME, GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE!" I walk back down the stairs and lay on the couch next to Finn, putting my head on his lap. He puts his phone down and begins playing with my hair. Shortly after I hear footsteps running down the stairs and the rest of the kids have assembled in the basement.

No one reacts to Finn and I's position since it's just become something we always do. Everyone greets Finn with a happy birthday since I was the only one to see you this morning and they take their spots on the couches around us. "Wait where's Sadie?" Finn asks, looking around. As soon as Finn says this Sadie walks in with a delicious looking chocolate cake topped with 15 candles. She begins singing happy birthday and we all join in, I sit up so I can get a better look of Finn's face. He looks surprised but obviously ready to drool all over the cake. We finish singing happy birthday and Sadie holds her creation proudly in front of Finn.

"Make a wish." I say before Finn blows all the candles out in one go. Sadie brings out plates and forks and Finn cuts the cake. "Don't touch the bottom or you'll have to kiss the person closest to you!" Millie warns him. He looks over at me and smirks. He cuts the cake and touches the bottom, looks at me again and says, "Oh what a shame!" Laying on the sarcasm. "Come here." He says and leans in giving me a sloppy kiss on the cheek. "Ewwww come on Finn! That was disgusting." I say, wiping his saliva off my cheek, my face getting redder by the second. "You know you loved it." He says, winking at me. If only he knew how right he was. I punch him playfully on the arm which causes him to chuckle and we grab a piece of cake. "Remind me to tell you what I wished for in about a week." He says. "Ok?" I say before digging into Sadie's delicious cake.

It's 2:05am and the night is coming to an end. After an intense karaoke competition and a failed game of twister we are all exhausted. Most people have gone to bed, it's only Gaten who has been able to stay awake with us until now and has just left us, giving Finn a final happy birthday before heading upstairs. "Hey it's Christmas Eve." Finn says, looking at the clock hanging on the wall. I look at the clock myself and say, "So it is. Merry Christmas Eve Finny." I say smiling. "Merry Christmas Eve Y/n/n." He replies with one of his mid fogging-ly beautiful smiles. "We better get to bed." I say. "Yeah it's pretty late. I'll stay and clean up a bit though, you go ahead and get some sleep." He says. "It's ok I'll help clean up." "No, no I insist. You've done enough already, thank you for making this one of the best birthdays ever." "It was my pleasure, I had a pretty great time." "Even with the sloppy kiss?" "Even with the sloppy kiss." I say smiling. He smiles back and I say, "Goodnight Wolfhard." "Night Y/l/n." He replies and I head upstairs, my eyes barely staying open.
