Chapter 17

Jack's POV

It's finally Christmas. December 25, the the best day of the year. I can't fucking wait to give Finn his present, that I really hope he loves and doesn't find weird. Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year, even more so since I met Finn. It just makes me feel loved and like I actually have people who care about me. Every year we exchange presents early in the morning and then spend the entire day cuddling and watching Christmas movies. It's so basic, but I love it and doing it with Finn makes it even better.

"Merry Christmas Finnie!" I yell while jumping on his stomach, trying to wake him up. Even though we're so-called "adults" now, I'm still so small compared to Finn that I can easily jump on him without having any fear of hurting him.

"Merry Christmas Jackie," he says while yawning and stretching his arms out. "You're so cute when you're excited." I chuckled and leaned in to give him a lingering kiss on the lips.

"Come on, let's go," I said motioning to the door while pulling Finn's hand with my own.

An hour later, we had opened almost all of the presents; we each had one left to open. I got Finn a promise ring with my initials engraved into it to remind him that I was always going to be there for him no matter what and that I planned on spending the rest of my life with him. The ring was small and silver and I got it at this jewelry place at the mall a couple of weeks ago.

"Here, open it," I said, handing Finn the small box with the ring in it. He smiled and chuckled at how excited I was. As soon as I handed it to him, he quickly ripped the wrapping paper off before opening up the tiny black box. When he saw what was inside, his face dropped and I swear a tear rolled down his pale cheeks.

"It's a promise ring," I started, a grin plastered on my face, "because I will always be yours no matter what. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I can't imagine being with anyone else because you are the love of my life. When we get a little bit older, I will marry you Finn Wolfhard." As soon as I finished, Finn leaned in to give me a sweet and salty kiss due to the endless amount of tears streaming down his face. His mother was sitting across from us with a look of adoration on her face. She will be my mother-in-law soon, I thought.

"Open mine now," Finn said handing me a nearly identically wrapped box with To Jackie, my love, written on the top. I teared up just at those words and Finn's stupidly messy but adorable handwriting. Once I got my emotions under control, I opened the box and saw an identical silver ring with the letters FW engraved on the band.

"Oh my god," I whispered to myself since I couldn't believe that Finn got me a promise ring as well.

"I just got this for you a couple days ago, and I swear I didn't know that you got the same thing for me. But Jackie, I love you and I always will, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." We leaned in again and kissed for what must have been a long time because Finn's mother ever so slightly coughed trying to get our attention. We pulled apart and I smiled before all three of us burst out into fits of laughter. Nothing could ruin this day.

For the rest of the day, Finn and I watched Christmas movie after Christmas movie. We started with Elf obviously and then watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, followed by all three Santa Claus films. The night was going perfectly, Finn and I were cuddled up on the couch leaning into each other, occasionally giving each other kisses and whispering to each other. I didn't think anything could ruin that moment... and then the phone rang.
