Chapter 8 - Christmas Miracle

A/N

A few months had passed since you and Betelgeuse had...fun times, to put it lightly. You still hang out nearly every moment of every day, your bond growing stronger over time. You've wanted to ask him out for quite awhile now, but you just haven't had "the right moment" yet. It's Christmas day, you and BJ have been working on decorating the house since Thanksgiving ended, and you'd be damned if it wasn't one of the most festive houses on Earth. 

You wake up to the sound of a very certain someone yelling in your ear...

Y/N POV

"Ho ho ho, merry Christmas babes!" I look up; my eyes squinting and straining to see from lack of sleep. I see BJ standing there dressed up as Santa..."BJ It's early, can't I just sleep a tiny bit longer?" He grabs me by my right arm and pulls me up out of bed. "Nope, can't wait. I need my Mrs. Claus for my day to be "jolly", now don't I?" He winks at me; I shrug. "Ugh...fiiiine. But at least let me have time for coffee before we get to opening presents, okay?" He just smiles and nods his head in agreement, then runs off. 

A/N

You get dressed in some fuzzy black and white pajamas, do the rest of your daily routine, then head downstairs and make yourself some coffee. Eventually you start looking through your stockings and opening your presents. As your finishing your present opening, Betelgeuse gives you an odd smirk and runs off. A few minutes later he comes back and helps you stand up; grabbing you by your arm, forcing you to follow him.

Y/N POV

"BJ where the hell are you dragging me?" He just smiles at me; soon we find ourselves back in my bedroom. I roll my eyes thinking that he probably just wants sex, right? He shuts the door behind us and gestures for me to sit down on my bed, so I do. "Okay...what now?" He smiles, yet I notice in his eyes, that for once, he looks scared. He takes a deep breath in and out. 

"This is where I first met you, I watched you for a while as you know. And from the moment I saw you I thought you were the most beautiful chick I've ever laid my eyes on, and babes lemme tell ya, I've been dead for a millennium. When I finally worked up the courage to come see you I couldn't believe how you were somehow even more beautiful in person, I was shocked from your beauty. And that's not even including your body if I'm honest babe."

He suddenly makes a small bouquet of flowers appear from thin air, as well as a note.

 "On the second day I gave you a bouquet of flowers exactly like this; with red, dark purple, dark blue, and black roses; and a note saying "Hey Babes, it's me, your "secret admirer". I saw these roses somewhere and thought they're as pretty and sweet as you. Call me if you wanna talk...you know my name." On it there was drawn a few bleeding hearts and a winky face. And then days went by and I came to like you more and more, seeing you nude was quite the nice touch, but simply spending time with you was enough to make me happy."

He hands me the roses and the note, my heart starts racing and my palms get sweaty. 

"After a month or so went by I found myself...falling for you. The last time I truly fell for someone the way I have you was when I was still alive. I've been waiting for the right moment, but I just haven't felt like any other time would be right other than right now. So ima say it before I back out like a pussy, and I may love pussy but that doesn't mean I am one. I....I-I...I love you. Fuck I haven't said that in so long...but anyways...point is, will you be my girlfriend? I know I probably sound stupid and cheesy right now but I just couldn't wait any longer to ask. And I understand if you say no, I mean, who would ever wanna date me?" 

Tears begin streaming down my eyes; My hands shaking, and my heart pounding in my chest. "I...Love you too. I really do; And if there's anyone who would date you it's me, so, yes." He starts tearing up, and at this point I'm full on crying from happiness. He hugs me tight, I hear him beginning to cry too. 

After a few minutes of sobbing in each others arms we lay down on the bed and cuddle. It feels so nice to officially be with him, I've wanted it for so long. Although I never wanted to admit it, and when in a rare moment I did, I simply couldn't find the courage to say so. But all in all, I'd say the wait is completely worth it. We spend the rest of Christmas kissing, cuddling, and just all around loving each other. This is officially the best Christmas I've ever had, and after all the time we spend with each other in the day, we spend just as much time holding each other in bed, fast asleep.
