"I'll finish this first and then we'll come to help", you said giving Jacob an apologetic look. He just nodded and walked off. As you took a glance back at Lou, you caught him smirking, so you gave him a soft punch. 

In the nearby boxes, you took out the rest of the decorations out and spread them onto the floor. There wasn't really much that had to be put up, mainly the fairy lights and the big star that was supposed to be on top. While you already claimed dibs on putting it up, you hadn't realized that you were way too small to do that task. You stretched the best you could, but your arms were just too short. Lou was chuckling next to you, but in the end, gave in and kneeled down, patting his back, motioning you to get on his back.

Hesitantly you wrapped your arms around his neck, then wrapped your leg around his torso with him supporting them tightly. You wondered how easy it was for him to just pick you up like that and you were also amazed at how the view was from up here. Surely you didn't expect it to be this much of a difference, yet the world did seem somewhat smaller.

You held the star up and Lou walked closer to the tree. Once the shiny light was on top, you prepared to get down, but Lou had other plans. Holding onto you tightly he began to run around the living room and twirling around, making you hold onto him tighter as you screamed your lungs out. You even considered pinching his cheeks for him to stop, but the fun was soon over as he dropped the two of you onto the couch. 

With a quick turnaround, you were facing each other and just grinning. You were to first to place a peck onto his lips, then the same confidence from few days came back possessing Lou as he once more took hold of your lips and engaged into a passionate kiss, completely forgetting the fact that you were supposed to help Jacob out with the technical stuff, only when you heard the sound of someone clearing their throat you realized that maybe you had spent too much time fooling around. Immediately you stood up and blushingly walked out of the room towards Jacobs, Lou following closely behind. You couldn't help but grin to yourself.

The rest of the evening went by peacefully as you all enjoyed each other's presence and celebrate Christmas next to the colorful tree. After the trip took an end, the four of you, Lou, Ziu and Ayno that was started spending much more time in school together and you grew stronger bonds with them. As for your relationship with Lou, to this day you still listen to his voice as you fall asleep, telling you about his day and which problems seemed to bother him at that time.
