Merry Christmas

Remington's POV
CHRISTMAS IS TOMORROWWWWWW!! I'm really excited! Christmas is, like, my absolute favorite time ever!
We have a bunch of our friends coming over tomorrow, and Dezi doesn't know that Jessie is gonna be here, so that's gonna be a surprise for her.
"Emerson!" I whisper-yell at him, even though he's literally 10 feet from me.
"What, Remington?" He said at a normal volume.
"Can I have the tape?" I continue to whisper-yell, because it's fun and it annoys Emerson.
He threw the plastic encased tape at my chest. "Thaaank youuu!" I smile obnoxiously wide at him. Again, because it pisses him off, therefore, making it funny. He grunts back in response and continues wrapping presents. More specifically, a watercolor pallet for Dez. I was wrapping a necklace for Monica. We still had Shy's stuff, Seb's stuff, Dez's stuff and Monica's stuff. Sebastian and Dezarea wrapped stuff for me and Emerson and Larissa.
"You think Dezarea's okay? She might be really anxious about Christmas and all the people and questions and stuff." Emerson asked.
"I mean...I don't know, maybe? I know we should ask, but she seemed fine on her birthday, with a surprise and all." I scratched the bridge of my nose, "I can text Sebastian and have him ask, unless you want to do it. I know she spends a lot of time with you?" I suggested, unsure if it was stupid or not.
"Maybe, we'll have to see. I'm surprised at how well she did on her birthday." He said, pushing the box he just wrapped aside. "Well, we're done now.  And it's almost 2 AM." Emerson stood up and stretched.
"Jesus Christ. Goodnight. I'll see you in a few hours." I got up and stretched my arms over my head. "Merry Christmas, little bro." I playfully punch him in the arm.
"Merry Christmas, bro." He punched me back.
We followed each other up the stairs and awaited tomorrow morning.
*time skip to the actual morning*
I woke up first, no surprise there, and I went to go and wake up Dezarea.
I quietly opened her door, went up to her and poked her in the back.
"What?" She exhaled, pulling her blankets farther over her.
"It's Christmas, Dez!" I sat on the foot of her bed and  slowly pulled the blankets off of her.
"Noooo!" She protested and tried to pull them back.
"Let's think about this: a 16 year-old trying to win a tug-of-war match against a 24-year old. You sure about this one, Dez?"
"Yes. Gimmie my blankies back." She mumbled and pulled at them again.
"Hey, Jessie's here!" Emerson called up the stairs.
"Yeah, there's already a human here, so I suggest you get somewhat ready. Try to tame your hair, maybe put on different Pajamas. Something." I let go of the blankets and walk downstairs to greet our ever-bubbly friend, Jessie Paege.
"Remi!" She smiles and hold her arms out for a hug. "Merry Christmas!" She said into my shoulder. She may be 5'10, but I'm still taller than her.
"Merry Christmas, Jess!" I smile back at her.
Not a second later, I heard someone come downstairs and a small gasp.
"Wassup, Dez?" I smirk, knowing that she's freaking out about Jessie.
"You must be Dezarea! I'm so glad to finally meet you!" Jessie beams at my sister.
"Y-yeah, I'm glad to meet you t-too..." She stutters.
"Do you need a hug?" Jessie laughs and hold her arms out. Dezarea's eyes somehow widen even further and hugs Jessie who is also taller than her.
"Wow, Dez, you're really short!" I stifle a laugh.
"Shut up, Rem!" She crossed her arms. "I'm still growing..." She muttered. I let out the laugh I was holding.
We heard the doorbell ring, and before any of us could go get it, Emerson ran past us and opened it to reveal Shy. He greeted her with a kiss and we all gagged at them.
"Hey, shut up!" He broke away from her. Shy just laughed.
"Hey, Dezarea!" She came in and handed a box to Dez.
"Thanks, Shy!" She smiled, and hugged her. She walked off to, what I assume, put under the tree with everything else.
*Time Skip to present opening*
"Alright, Rem, your turn!" Sebastian slid a box across the floor to me.
The tag said it was from Monica. "Aww, thank you baby!" I look over my shoulder at her and smile.
"You're welcome, hon." She ruffled my hair. Or tried to.
I tore off the paper and opened small box to find a ring. A simple black band, with our names on the inside and rosed tangling around each other engraved on the outside.
"Baby," I turn to face her. "This is gorgeous!"
"It's a promise ring." She told me.
"Thank you, I love you!" I kiss her lightly.
"I love you too." She smiled. I slipped the ring on.
"Okay, ew. Dez, you're up next." Sebastian slid a box over to her. Ooh, I got her this.
"Holy hell!" She said as she opened the box.
I got her Sylveon plush that she's been looking for forever.
"Thank you so much, Rem!" She hugged the Pokémon. I smiled and scrunched my face in response.
"Well that downplayed my gift." Shy laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, Dez, this is Shy's. Let's see what Rem gave you that was better." Seb slid the bag over to her.
She took out the paper and covered her mouth.
"Hell yeah!" She laughed. She pulled out a Bulbasaur and a Psyduck plush. "Hell yeah! Thank you, Shy! I love them!" She scooted over to hug her.
"You're welcome, hon." She hugged back.
"I see how it is." I joked and crossed my arms.
"Oh, Rem. You know I love Sylveon, but I love Bulbasaur and Psyduck." She shrugged and giggled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After another hour of opening gifts, laughing and even some tears, we were just sitting with our items.
"We have food, are you guys hungry?" I asked no one in particular.
A chorus of 'yeahs' and 'sures' came after and we stood up and migrated towards the kitchen.
"We have mashed potatoes, bread, some other stuff that I don't remember." I gesture.
~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone got food and we all sat in the living room and watched A Christmas Story since it was on all day. Literally. All day.
At around 4, Jessie left to go to her parents.
"Bye, Jessie!" We all shouted and waved as she back out of our driveway.
"I'm gonna go up to my room." Dezarea said, scooping up her stuff.
Monica and I sat on the couch while Emerson and Shy sat in the Kitchen and Sebastian and Larissa were outside.
"I'm lucky to have you." She said, putting her head on my shoulder.
"I'm lucky to have you." I planted a kiss on top of her head.
I'm lucky to have my baby sister with me forever, and a girlfriend I adore. I'm lucky to have the friends I have and I'm especially lucky to have my siblings.
I'm a lucky guy.
