Thank you harleyy098 for vibing with me while I wrote most of this and giving me some ideas for this chapter:)

Just some maintenance:

Thank you for 34k, it means the absolute world to me and I appreciate every single one of your souls. Literal angels.

Second, above I took a picture and thought it was pretty so I might just do a picture I take every chapter just for you too look at. Think of it as a thing to remember why you are here:)

okay let start this bandwagon.

*Jaden's Pov*
-a few days later-

The soft pitter patter of the water stirs me from my sleep and the faint indent that was in my bed is no longer there. Light is shining through the bathroom door along with the sound of rushing water. Emilia's taking a shower? At 5am?

Ripping the blankets off, I stalk towards the bathroom, opening the door. Most of the small room is filled with fog and heat but there is a small, dark frame leaning towards the shower door, her forehead resting against the glass.

"Em?"

She jumps a bit before sliding the glass door open and pokes her soaking head out. "Hey, I didn't mean to wake you. I'm sorry"

"You didn't. What are you doing?"

"Taking a shower?"

"At 5 am." I add. She just shrugs before closing the door back up. I let out a sigh before closing the bathroom door. I end up sitting next on toilet lid listening to the soft hums of Emilia and the water. That right there could draw me to sleep.

A few moments later, the water turns off and the humming stops but my eyes still remain close, too peaceful to open them. She moves around the bathroom, opening various things and closing them as quietly as she can and before I know it, she's back in bed.

"Em, you left me" I pout walking back into the room. She is laying face down on the bed with her feet dangling off the foot of the bed. A low grunt comes off before a soft "fuck off" reaches my ears.

"Asshole" I mutter back. I sit back down on my bed before placing my hand on her back starting to rub up and down.

"Bastard"

"Shit head"

"Jackass"

"I'm not a donkey thank you very much" She let's out a small chuckle that is followed by a yawn. We sit in silence for a few minutes, my hand still working up and down her small back. Eventually, her breathing turns soft and her shoulders slack. She looks so much for peaceful when she is asleep even if you want see her face. She has some nights but most of the time she sleeps like a baby.

I throw a chunky grey blanket I had at the foot of my bed and I lay on my side, securing her in place.

-

"Merry Christmas!" My mom sings. The aroma of peppermint fills most of the room and the sizzling of the pan makes me smile. My mom is making her famous peppermint pancakes.

This may sound disgusting, and I agree with you however they are the best thing in the entire world. It's on a whole other level of greatness.

"Merry Christmas" We both say.

"I have got a call from my boss, I need to run in for a emergency meeting. Leaving soon so i'm trusting you both not to break anything. Grandma's flight got to delayed to tomorrow so she won't be here today."
