You groaned in annoyance as your alarm clock blared for you to wake up. Christmas morning. That was something you normally never were excited about, it was a pretty hard holiday for you to deal with. The orphanage you grew up in had gifts and toys donated of course but it never felt right when everyone you knew and grew up with were being taken in to loving and caring families just to leave you behind. Of course you've always felt envious of this holiday, not having a proper home or family was extremely hard. Your sister had her own place to call home and family so she never felt completely like your own, and since your decrease in contact you've felt like she's only taken pity on you. You strongly hoped you weren't being naïve in trusting Connor and Hank this time around, but you believed they cared. You were excited to feel like you could belong this time around. You dismissed the alarm before stumbling out of bed and into your bedroom where you'd prepare for your day before getting dressed and grabbing everything you needed before leaving your apartment.

You climbed out of your taxi before ringing the bell, you smiled and Connor once he opened the door. Giggling a bit at the apron he wore over his DPD hoodie,
"Merry Christmas, Connor."

"Merry Christmas, Y/n. Come in." he moved away from the door to let you inside; closing the door behind you once you've stepped inside. You smiled and quickly ran to a sleepy Sumo on the floor, petting and rubbing his fur which made his tail wag lazily. Connor smiled as he watched you. He couldn't help but feel this painful but joyous emotion grow inside him as he watched the way the corners of your lips curl up, the way your eyelashes fluttered when you blinked, the way your h/c hair framed your face gorgeously. He felt the way that everything in him longed for you to feel this same emotion for him and that brought his smile to weaken before he turned his attention from you, unable look at your beauty any longer before feeling something painful within himself. He walked into the kitchen and you stood once you noticed he had left the room. You entered the kitchen and washed your hands as you watched him gracefully prepare some of your favorite foods for the holiday.

"I'll make the desert before we out the ham in." 

"Alright. The bowls are here and the dry ingredients are there." he pointed at a pair of cabinets and you nodded

"Thanks." you grabbed everything to prepare your favorite dessert, the smile never left your face as you were full of joy. Connor couldn't help but stare at you with joy, despite the aching inside of him. Once you both had gotten a great amount of the meal finished Connor had woken up Hank and the man finally joined you two once he was dressed. You grinned and quickly went to the Christmas tree in the living room to grab the wrapped sweater you had bought for him. You brought it to Hank once he sat on the couch,
"Here, you get to open this early!" you smiled 

"What is it?" he softly shook the box

"Why don't you open it?" your grin grew as you anticipated his reaction

He tore apart the wrap and pulled off the lid, laughing at the abomination inside the box. He looked at you in shock,
"Are you serious? I'm supposed to wear this?"

You jokingly pouted and batted your eyelashes, 
"I got it just for you."

he rolled his eyes and snickered and pulled the sweater over the t-shirt he's wearing,
 "Thanks a lot, kiddo." he sarcastically exclaimed 

You pressed the Santa nose on the sweater which caused it to light up, which made you both burst out into laughter about the awful sweater,
"It's a surprise but I got Connor one too." you whisper


You and Connor finished up the meal and began to set the table before you heard the doorbell ring, you quickly headed to the door knowing it was Gavin for sure. You opened the door and smiled, 
"Merry Christmas." he smiled and raised his hand above your head and you quickly noticed the mistletoe in his hand, you giggled and leaned in to kiss him. Hank sighed as he noticed the pain on the android's face as he watched. He stood and patted his son on the back before speaking,
"Time to eat!" he tried to lift the mood and him and Connor went into the kitchen. You broke away from Gavin after he had deepened the kiss, his hand on the small of your back. You walked to the kitchen and Gavin closed the door behind him before following you. He stopped you before you sat, 
"I got something for you." he held up a box
