Twenty-five Days of Lloya ✔︎

Day One

Day One
Title: Decorations
Summary: uhhhh...Nya hates her height...that's it

There's a loud thump in the upstairs hallway. Jolting up from her place on the sofa, Nya sprints up the stairs. Lloyd is stood on the ladder that leads up to the loft. There's a long cuboid white box on the floor. Lloyd climbs down and rubs the back of his neck.

"Sorry, I dropped it when I tried to climb down."

Nya stands on her tiptoes and plants a small kiss on Lloyd's cheek, "it's okay."

A light blush creeps across his face, blending in with his paler skin complexion. Nya giggles and drops back onto her feet. Lloyd grabs her by the waist and presses his lips to hers. Nya kisses back, snaking her arms around his neck. Lloyd slowly pulls away and crouches down at one end of the box.

"Help me?"

Nya crouches down at the other side of the box and curls her fingers underneath it. They lift the box up and carry it downstairs. Lloyd grabs a pocket knife from the kitchen and cuts the sellotape along the seam of the box.

"What's in there?"

"Don't you know what day it is midget?"

"Uhh...Tuesday?"

"December first."

"Huh? What's so special-oh."

Lloyd chuckles and kisses her hair. A blush dusts across Nya's cheeks as she smiles up at her boyfriend. Lloyd smiles back down at her and pulls a fake tree out of the box.

☃︎☃︎☃︎
It hadn't taken them long to set up the tree. Only about ten minutes. Nya is sat surrounded by lights while Lloyd is holding up tinsel.

"Green, blue or silver?" Lloyd asks.

"Blue and green," Nya murmurs, trying to untangle the lights.

"Want me to find the rest of the blue and green decorations?"

"Yes please."

Nya untangles the lights before standing up, clutching the lights in her hands. Lloyd puts the tree in its stand. He takes some of the lights from Nya and starts to put them on the bottom of the tree, slowly working his way up. Once the lights are on, they start to hang the tinsel and ornaments from the branches.

Once that's done, Nya turns to Lloyd.

"What topper are we having?"

"An angel."

"Wow, cliche. Why?"

"Because you're an angel," Lloyd smirks.

A heavy blush creeps across Nya's face at the cheesy compliment/pickup line. Lloyd chuckles and plants a kiss her on the cheek. Nya smiles and takes his hand. Lloyd squeezes her hand before pulling away and grabbing the angel topper from the box. Nya glances at the tree and then back at Lloyd as the angel topper is pressed into her hand.

"The tree is six foot tall."

"Yeah, I'm well aware of that."

"I can always get a chair-" Nya starts.

"Who said anything about a chair?"

Without warning, Lloyd picks her up and walks over to the tree with her in his arms. Nya squeals and wraps her arms around Lloyd's neck. Lloyd chuckles.

Nya reaches up and perches the angel on the highest branch of the tree. Lloyd sets her down and holds her to his chest.

"Should we do the rest of the house or...?"

"Or...we can cuddle?" Nya suggests, blinking up at him.

"I like that idea."

Lloyd drags Nya to the sofa, laying down and pulling her on top of him. Nya lays on top of him and clutches his hoodie in both of her hands as a possible source of comfort. Lloyd's hand travels from her waist up to her hair, combing through it gently. Nya relaxes on top of him and slowly drifts off.

The team walk into the Bounty, all hunched forward and yawning loudly. Walking into the living room, their eyes widen in surprise.

The fireplace has fake greenery along the top which has lights weaved in and out of the branches. On either end of the fireplace, there are two white birds wearing silver glittered bobble hats and silver scarves. In the far corner of the room, a fake tree is in the farthest corner. The tree is covered in small lights which are glowing a soft blue. It's adorned with pale green tinsel, pale blue tinsel, white baubles, silver baubles and rose gold baubles. The angel on the top has messy blonde hair and a halo attached to her head with her wings outstretched.

Looking over to his left, Kai spots his little sister curled up on top of Lloyd, her head resting on his chest and her hands curled up around his hoodie. Lloyd has one hand on her back and one in her hair.

"Hey. Guys look at this."

The others turn and aww when they see the young couple cuddled together on the sofa.

"Lets let them sleep."

Jay pushes the others out of the living room.

So...day one is complete. It's kind of based off what I do in my house pretty much every December first, which is to put the Christmas decks up. Some of it is based on my current Christmas decorations as we put them up on November twenty-eighth this year. Hope you're you're all staying safe and well.
