Their eyes were soft, staring into mine. Soft, (E/C) eyes that shone bright like the stars twinkling bright. My knees were jelly, just at the sight of them. Oh so sweet and beautiful. Am I truly deserving of this masterpiece in front of me? My partner. My soulmate. My angel.

Snowflakes falling one after another, drifting down like feathers one by one. Their (H/L), silky, luscious, (H/C) locks being speckled one after the other with tiny little dots. Their cheeks flushed, their grasp cold, their expression cute.

Simply looking at them caused me to melt into a puddle of nothing but pure love. They were beautiful. They were perfect. They were simply everything I could ask for.

I take their hand into mine, with a metallic box in my hand, causing a lump getting in the way of our warm touch. My smile shows, pressing the box that revealed to be a remote control, to reveal an array of soft, (F/C) lights from below us to shine. The lights stretched on, lighting up the dance floor I've planned for so long.

Soft, gentle music then started to play from the speakers that were barely noticeable from afar, as I sent my beautiful partner a suggestive look. By suggestive, I meant a look that read 'Shall we dance?'

Wordlessly, they nod, having their breath seemingly taken away from the beauty of their current surroundings. A smile appears on my face, as I grasp their mitten-clad hands within mine, and started to sway along with the music.

Wise men say,
"Only fools rush in"
But I can't help
falling in love with you

My voice sang, although it was hard to keep along with the English lyrics the song provided. They giggle, a smile now forming from beneath their (F/C) muffler. Seeing this made my heart flutter, and my cheeks then flush red.

Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you

They sing the part perfectly, unlike my part just not-so-long ago. My cheeks flush once more, and I smile appears on my face. Waltzing across the lit dance floor flashing of their favorite colors, we smile, knowing well that the next verse was coming.

Like the river flows
Shortly to the sea
Darling, so we go
Some things were meant to be

My heart pounds in my chest, butterflies fluttering in my stomach as we sang that part with grace. Her moves were clumsy, yet oh so graceful. The music was gentle in its acoustic tone, as the next verse came up.

Take my hand, take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you

Our hearts pound and resonate with one another, as we continued waltzing across the dance floor. Sometimes, we stepped upon each other's feet, but still, nothing was perfect. They were our perfectly imperfect flaws, and it was silly. Besides, if I get to hear a giggle made from heaven, I'd do anything for it.

Like the river flows
Shortly to the sea
Darling, so we go
Some things were meant to be

Once again, they step upon my foot once more. They mutter out a small 'sorry', accompanied with a giggle that lit up my entire world. My face flushes red, but I still remain intact as I could only nod. The next and final verse comes up, and we smile to each other knowingly.

Take my hand, take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you

The song comes to an end, but I knew that it wasn't the end just yet. Coming to a stop, I graciously dip them, with them gracefully accompanying my actions by propping their leg up. (I could feel something fall softly, though that was one thing I didn't want to think about right now.) Our faces were close to each other, as we could almost feel each other's breath, our lips nearly connecting, as we stare breathlessly into each other's eyes.

But I can't help falling in love with you

I finish the song off breathlessly, as I finally seal our lips with a kiss. Their eyes widen in shock, but they kiss back as well, our lips mingling with each other. It felt like fireworks were setting off, the sensation was too good to be true. I loved it, and I never wanted to let go of it.

Good things had to come to an end though, as, with hesitance, they had to pull away, due to the lack of air that pressured us into separating. The kiss was short, yet sweet. Their eyes wide, and their mouth stood agape, breathlessly staring into my figure.

"(Y/N), I—"

"Wait, hold on. My shoe fell off from earlier."

...so that was what fell earlier when I dipped them. I playfully roll my eyes, snorting along as they squatted over to get their shoe that apparently fell off when I dipped them. What a stupid way to interrupt a sentence, but that was one of the reasons why I fell for them, and only them.

After retrieving their shoe and putting it back on, they then engulf my figure into a hug, leaving me breathless. Their embrace was warm and welcoming, and it prompted me to wrap my arms around them as well. The snow was especially cold tonight, so a warm hug was what I needed right now. Especially from the one I love the most.

"I love you so much..."

They spoke, burying their head within my shoulder. My face flushes, and a smile forms upon my face. My hands reached for the bottom of their chin, forcing them to look up at me.

"We all know the answer to that question, right?"

"I love you too. More than you could ever know."

And with that, our Christmas ends with a sweet and loving kiss. Two slightly lonely souls, in a secluded, open place, on a dance floor, in the snow, loving each other faithfully.

"Merry Christmas, (Y/N)."

"Merry Christmas, I love you."

("And a Happy New Year!"

"...I love you."

"I love you too!")
