Usually Harry did not like having decoration in his place but ever since he meet her she had changed him, it was little over half an hour until she would arrive and the house were smelling of pinecones and Christmas food that he had made ready for the celebration with her. They had been together around a year now and this were their first time they would celebrating Christmas together and he wanted everything to be perfect for her.
When he had first meet her he had been reluctant with speaking with her and the pressure from Piu Piu were what had helped him give up on his stubborn side of not wanting to talk and share things about himself.
He still wore the horse mask whenever he were around people he just didn’t want to know how he looked like but with the ones that knew how he looked he didn’t care if they did as they all knew how much he strived to keep his personal life to himself.
She weren’t as anyone else and he had shortly after meeting her started to fall for her and pay attention to what she said and thought about what he went trough on a daily basis with being forced to attend events and his noisy friends always being around making his days long. He got trough it all because of her and now he wanted to show her how much she had changed him in a good way and spend the holiday with her.
He had sent out The big guy earlier that day to pick up the gift he had got for her and the red roses that would go along with the gift he had personally had spent hours picking finding as she were special for him and he wanted to leave a good impression and show her how much she mattered to him.
He could hear Piu Piu in the background as he still had staid to check in on them both even if they had gotten to meet up outside of the Ssum but he weren’t as bothered by the bird now that he had been in the start as Piu Piu had become quite useful to make sure she had a way to see what he were doing daily when he could not speak with her. He still got quite annoyed when pit pit did shock him or sound the alarm when he ignored his phone for too long but after scolding Piu Piu he usually felt good again.
«Piu Piu put on some music would you, something Christmas themed if you got a playlist for it.» He said as he cleaned away the last of the items that he had to get ready for the night of Christmas celebrations with her. he walked into the kitchen and in the background he heard piu piu’s owl sounds that he had decided to keep using as he made the music sound trough out the place. He had put a big tree up in the middle of the living room and decorated it entirely self and the smell of the tree were going trough the place mixing with all of the smells from the food that he had plated on a tray. He had went with finger foods that were easy to eat but were tasting just like how Christmas food should taste like. Since it would only be the two of them alone every details he had put into planing had been down to the moment when she were going to arrive and went into making sure she were comfortable.
He had picked up from the chats that she were shy and a bit quiet but he would help her along the way as he didn’t mind that one bit as he only wanted to spend time with her no matter how she were. Once he were sure he had everything ready in the kitchen he went back to his room and put on the shirt he had chosen for this evening making sure he looked his best for her.
«She is arriving! She is arriving!» Piu Piu’s voice echoed trough the room as he let him know she were outside his door, he took a last look in the mirror before he headed out of his room and toward the front door excited for her arrival but also calm as always. As the sound of door bell sounded he opened the door and there she stood outside the door looking stunningly beautiful and he were speechless for a second as he took her beauty in, then smiled as he said «you look gorgeous». She had dressed in a beautiful looking short dress in a red color for the evening as she wanted to look her best for the holiday and for him, she had spent the afternoon getting ready and had spent long time picking out the dress that were prefect for the night with him. They had meet not long ago for the first time outside of the ssum and it had taken some convincing of them both for Piu Piu to finally upgrading and letting them share their addresses but when they finally had managed to do so they had both started planing and they had meet up, it had been easy to be outspoken and talk freely over the app but once out in the real world she always had slightly issues expressing herself and sometimes being able to feel like she could be fully herself so it felt freeing that she could be completely herself around Harry at any given moment.
He had even appreciated when she had treated him just the same as he did her and it had made her feel more calm when they meet outside of the app the first time. She gave him a shy little laughter as she smiled as she looked him up and down as well it had been one of the things she liked about him, no matter what he were dressed in he looked so handsome and ever since they had started talking she had appreciated the pictures Piu Piu had sent of him on a daily basis with the different ways he dressed, even the horse mask that at first she didn’t understand why he had worn but after Harry had told her about keeping his private life separate from his public figure she accepted and understood him much more and had grown to be ok with it more.
«Thank you, You look handsome yourself» she smiled as he moved to the side and let her inside. She walked past him into the house and then took of her shoes that she had put on they hurt her feet when she had to use them for a long time so she were glad she could take them off and walk freely without them on. He walked into the kitchen and he found the glasses and filled them with some drinks then walked to her and handed her one as he led her into the living room that were decorated with Christmas themed decoration.
She knew he were minimalistic and didn’t like having as much things in his place but seeing how he had decorated for tonight she could see the change that had come over him and the way he had gone for her. She took in everything and smiled as she already felt calm and so happy they were spending the night together. She usually ended up spending the holiday alone after she had moved out from her parents place as they lived too far for her to travel to, so when he had asked her to spend the holiday with him she had accepted right away, not just because of the holiday but her feelings for him had grown and she wanted to spend as much time with him and see where they would end up together. She could not deny that her own feelings for him were deep and had been for a while but she didn’t want to push him so she would wait until he said the words himself and until then she would take the time he had to spend with her.
She walked up to the three and smiled as she looked over the decoration on it and how beautiful it were shining and sparkling in the dim light in the room. «This Is beautiful, did you decorate yourself?» She smiled as she asked her eyes sparkling as took in everything. «For you» he said as he watched her take in everything in the room. He had not seen anyone like her before and she fascinated him even if he never said it out loud often as he wanted to keep it to himself too proud to admit it just yet. «Thank you for spending this day with me» he said and took a sip of his drink and then walked close to her standing next to the tree with her, the Christmas music playing in the background with Piu Piu making his «hoo hoo» sounds as he tried to imitate a owl as he always let them know he would be close by always. «Thank you for inviting me and wanting to spend the holiday with me, my family live too far away so I would have had to spend it alone if it weren’t for you» she said honestly as she turned toward him as she took a sip of the drink as he pointed to the comfy looking sofa «why don’t you get comfy over there while I find some food then we can talk some more» he said and she nodded and walked over and found a spot on the sofa and sat down.
He headed back to the kitchen and he took the plate with the food with him and then some plates for them both then headed back to the living room, before he gave her his gift he wanted her to feel comfortable and relaxed so starting with the food and some small talk seemed like the best way to take it, he were just happy that she were here with him celebrating with him. There were food of many sorts on the plate but also he had prepared some carrot dishes too because he mostly just ate dishes made of carrot and hardly ate anything else. But he made sure they looked presentable if she wanted to try them as well.
They spent some time small talking and enjoying the time together eating the food as they still needed to get to know each other more as most of the time she got to know Harry more than he got to known her over the app and he were still curious and wanted to learn more about her as she just felt so different from the other ones he had ever been around and also the calm way of being around him felt comforting whenever his daily life sometimes were hectic and made him too busy to take it easy, so it felt so good when he could talk with her and it made him more relaxed.
When he finally felt that it seemed like she were starting to seem comfortable after arriving he got up of the sofa and walked over to the shelf were the gift he had the big guy pick up for him stored were and he took it out and then found the bouquet of the red roses that he wanted also to give her. he walked back to where she were and then sat down next to her and he handed her the roses. «Merry Christmas, I wanted to give you something as a promise but also for the holiday.» He said as he watched her reaction to the roses and how her cheeks were having a slight blush to them. «The year we have had since we meet have been one of the best years, I know I hurt you the time when I rejected you and ever since I promised myself to find a way to show you I was wrong and what I said were wrong so this gift I have for you is a promise.» He handed her the box that had the neckless that he had spent a long time finding as he wanted it to be something unique and have a meaning.
She reached out for the box that he held out to him both curious but also alot of emotions were going trough her as she reached for it. The rejection at the time had made her quite upset for a while after but knowing that he didn’t want her to leave him even when he had rejected her had made her get trough it even when she felt sad, she could understand why tho Harry had rejected her, they had only known each other a little while and had yet to meet outside of the ssum and being together in a romantic relationship without having meet in real were leaving many doubts if they could manage to maintain a relationship that were healthy. But when they got to meet outside of the app she had felt a hope start to grow and she had hoped every day that maybe Harry would change his mind and give her a chance for something more. She placed the roses on the table so she could focus on the box, she opened the box and when she saw the pendant with the shining star in the middle of it she were speechless as the neckless were so beautiful. «It’s beautiful, Thank you Harry» she smiled as she took the neckless out of the box so she could get a better look at it. «This is a promise, a promise that everyday I will show you that I will be a worthy man for you, a partner and one you can always can trust if you will let me» he said as he could see the emotions that were going over her face, he had noticed after the rejection how she tried to hide her hurt even when he could see it was there all along and he felt guilty afterward and wanted his best to fix it even when he were unsure if he could so. «Does this mean I can ask you the question now?» She asked as she gave him a really bright smile as she looked up from the gift at him. He gave her a nod. «Will you be my boyfriend Harry Choi?» Her eyes were shining more and he could see the emotions that were coming out when she asked him the question and he gave her the nod «yes» as he got a bit closer to her and raised his hand up to her cheek and placed it on it gently as he looked into her eyes. «Yes, I want to be yours» he said as he spoke the words showing her he were serious this time. «Can I kiss you?» He asked as he wanted to know if he could take the next step, she gave him a nod and he leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips not a deep one but a soft one that gave meaning one that they both had waited a long time to get to. He broke the kiss and smiled the kiss felt really good and he craved more but he would be patient and take it slow with her and let her take the phase she wanted to take. «I have a gift for you too» she said as he reached for her purse and picked up a box and handed it over to him. «Merry Christmas» he opened the box and inside there were a neckless that looked close to how the tattoo he had gotten that she had chosen for him looked like. «I thought it would look good with the tattoo» she said as she waited for his reaction. He could seem a bit cold and sometimes said that something didn’t really mean anything to him and he chooses things just then and there but he had shown her many times that he were taking notice of her words and had cared enough to remember what she liked so she were sure he would like it even if he maybe didn’t say it mattered that much. «Hopefully this will mean we will spend more Christmas together?» She said and we’re so happy that he finally had admitted that he liked her and wanted more. «Defiantly» he said as he took the glass and held it up and she did the time. «For many more Holidays together» they clinked the glasses together and took a sip then he leaned in for a new kiss. the music changed into more some more romantic and calming music they both knew Piu Piu had heard them talking and they were absolutely ok about it as Piu Piu were the reason that they had managed to stay together until now and hopefully for a long time to come.
The end <3
