Life Is Beautiful » Lil Peep ✔

~~part 25~~

"I have an important question for you, Ivy Taggart," Gustav said dramatically while playing with his newly half-shaved, pink hair. "How do I look?"

He crossed his eyes and stuck out his tongue. Ivy laughed. "Great. Just like always."

"Stahp iiitttt..." He blushed and looked at her sideways. "You're too kind."

"Can you two stop flirting and help me distribute presents," Corey whined from under the 10-foot Christmas tree. Ivy chuckled and began helping the blonde-haired man. When she finished she sat back down next to Gustav, handing him his last present from her father. She kept the one for her from her friend's mother.

Everyone waited patiently until everyone was sat down and finished their conversations. "Why don't we start with Gus."

"Nah, let Corey start 'cause he's the only violent little leprechaun here." Corey cursed him under his breath and picked up his first gift.

Gus smiled as he picked up the four mini Peep plushies (which would most likely end up on the dashboard of his Jeep) he had received from Ivy. He placed them on top of the box of his new MacBook Pro next to his AirPods. "Thanks, Vy." He side hugged her.

Ivy picked up the gift from Gustav. The boy giggling for some reason. "What?"

"Open it..." He rested his chin in his palm. She unwrapped the box and opened it. A note laid on top of the pink tissue paper. I promise I got this for you cause you need one, not for self-promo lol. Also I didn't wrap this mama did and all she had was pink paper. Sorry. ❤

Ivy laughed and peeled the tissue paper back, seeing a baby blue Hellboy sweater. She took it out of the box and flipped it around where people could see the front. She saw that Gustav had signed it on the back. "Merry Christmas to my number one fan and friend. XO, Lil Peep (aka your BFF)," Ivy read aloud. The black-haired girl placed it on top of the additional shirts and hoodies she had obtained as gifts from others. "Thanks, boo."

The pink-haired teenager expected a hug but got a kiss on the cheek instead. His face and neck turned red since everyone was staring at them. "Does anyone besides Ivy and Gus have any unopened gifts?" Liza asked, looking around at everyone. They all responded with 'no' in a verbal and/or physical way. "You two can open them now."

They quickly opened the boxes and each of them pulled out a piece of paper. The boy and girl looked at each other then their two parents standing in front of them, confusion on their faces. "You guys are going to Universal!"

Ivy and Gustav smiled. "Liza is gonna take you guys to Orlando for spring break," Andrew informed them.

"Coolio," Ivy said.

"Litty McFlitty," Gus said.

Everyone laughed at their completely different responses. "Well, looks like you'll have to deal with me a bit longer, Vy."

"I'm okay with that." She replied, giving the boy a bear hug then laying on him for no particular reason.
