9. "well, you're my hot head."

It seems to be a trend for him.

Or maybe it's just that his family gets some sick joy from jumping on his bed at 6 a.m.

Either way, Christmas morning began just like the morning before. The twins happily bounced into his room before the sun was even in the sky, jumping on his bed yelling that "Santa came! Santa came!" Then, the rest of his siblings emerged, along with Mark and Dan, urging Louis to "get his lazy bum up." Finally, he felt a soft kiss against the back of his neck, along with a warm hand against his skin.

"Wake up, baby."

Louis whined as he sat up, however he couldn't keep the smile off his lips. He then got ready, which took "way too long" in Lottie's opinion.

"You are more of a girl than me!" She huffed when Louis finally made it downstairs.

Her brother rolled his eyes, plopping down on the couch beside Harry and snuggling into the younger's side. "Merry Christmas, angel."

"Merry Christmas, princess."

Last night, Harry's mother and sister joined the large family for dinner. The teen was supposed to go back home with them, but after lots of kisses from his small boyfriend, he decided to stay the night, after promising his mother that he would be home Christmas afternoon.

Dan and Mark entered the living room holding two trays of hot chocolate, handing one to each member before sitting on the opposite couch. Ernest found his way into Lottie's lap, while Dan situated Doris in his.

First, the oldest set of twins opened all their gifts, followed by Fizzy and Lottie. Ernest and Doris also had a few gifts thrown in from their siblings and dad, but they were mainly interested in the wrapping paper.

After Mark opened his gift from his daughters, Louis insisted that it was Harry's turn. The family as a whole had a gift for the oldest Tomlinson's boyfriend. The shirt on the top of the box had a note that read: "FOR LOUIS", while the one on the bottom read: "FOR HARRY." Louis giggled when he took out the shirts, smiling happily when he held Harry's up to his chest.

The pair received matching black t-shirts. The older's said: "IF LOST, RETURN TO HARRY", and Harry's had: "I'M HARRY" in big block lettering. Louis let Harry in on the joke, and the younger laughed, pulling Louis into his arms and kissing his shoulder.

"Never going to lose you," he claimed.

Louis then placed a box into Harry's lap, kissing his cheek. "Merry Christmas," he said, tapping the box. "I hope you like 'em."

"I know I will," Harry promised, before opening the box. Inside, was a smaller box, along with two braille books: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton– Harry's two favorite audiobooks. "Aw, baby, thank you so much."

Louis blushed, putting the small blue box in his hand. "This too," he urged. In the box was a silver paper airplane necklace. "It's a paper airplane. Paper airplanes are symbolic of launching yourself, creating a new beginning. I know I didn't know you when it happened, but when you lost your sight, you essentially had to start again. I thought it was cute, but it's probably stupid. Sorry."

Harry rapidly shook his head, hugging Louis tightly. "I love it. Thank you."

Finally, it was time for Louis' gifts. The pile was made up of a combination of Christmas and birthday gifts, large boxes and small envelopes. He opened his family's presents first, thanking them all for what he was given. At the end, Harry gave Louis his birthday gift first
