Work Text:
Mike was sitting in the back of the class, glaring at Chris's head. It’s not that he hates him or anything; in fact, it’s quite the opposite—he loves Chris. He just doesn’t know how to tell him. From time to time, he teases him, makes fun of him, and can’t help but stare. It's ridiculous how anyone could not like Chris. He’s perfect: dorky, nerdy, sweet, and adorable. Also hot. Mike loves how Chris gets red in the face when he jokingly claims that "Star Wars" is the same as "Star Trek." Chris rambles about whatever his new fixation is; Mike wonders what it could be this time. He has been spending a lot of time alone lately.
The professor talked about the upcoming Christmas break and announced that there would be no homework. Everyone's quiet but happy on the inside. Then Mike smiled he had a plan. A wonderful plan to ask Chris out. I'll plan the best Christmas party, then kiss him under the mistletoe. He thought to himself with a grin on his face.
Once class was dismissed he caught up with Chris and jumped on his back and jumped off. Before they fell, Chris was losing his balance. "Hey ass, Christmas party tomorrow, okay." He said then saw Chris looked confused and blushing. He grabbed his face and smushed it. "If you say no, I will drag you myself to it." Then he ran off to plan it. Huh, strawberries, new shampoo..okay yeah, I'm obsessed. Mike thought to himself. He went home and went to the store to buy a ton of snacks, cake, food, and drinks. He also bought mistletoe, well, a few. He bought six. To put on everywhere. He left the store with a smile.
He decorated his entire home and placed everything out for the party. Mike loves Christmas so his home is always filled with decorations. If you think there isn't any space for more. He'll make some.
He got his phone out, put on a Christmas Playlist, and started to bake cookies. Not many people know this except for Chris but Mike loves to bake. But he often felt embarrassed because it was not manly enough. But Chris loves it and loves to bake with him. He helped him gain the confidence to bake more often and come up with new things. Mike smiled and laughed thinking about that. Chris is always there for him. He always helps, and he always feels so warm with him. He rubbed his eyes, trying not to tear up, and began to get emotional. "Okay let's do this!" He loudly said happily.
He put on his apron and took out the flour, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, bowls, mixer, spatula, chocolate chips, candy, frostings, and more. It was early afternoon I have enough time and I'll keep baking tomorrow. After all the party isn't till 4. So I got all morning tomorrow and afternoon.
Hours later, he is covered with flour, and the kitchen is a mess. "Okay, so I got chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies in Christmas shapes, awesomely decorated cookie brownies, fudge brownies, and peanut butter blossom cookies. Tomorrow I'll make some cakes. Okaayyy it's 8 I'll put these in the dishwasher and order pizza while I clean up. By the time it's here, I'll be finished cleaning." He spoke out loud to himself. He ordered it and began to clean singing terribly to All i want for Christmas adding his own lyrics.
"All I want for Christmas is Chrissssss" he sang while cleaning. As he finished cleaning, putting on his apron for washing, the doorbell rang. Pizza is here he thought. He opened the door, paid for the pizza, and sat down, putting on a Christmas episode of his favorite show. He ate happily and was excited for tomorrow. I can't wait to tell Chris. He couldn't stay still kicking his feet happily like a child with a goofy smile.
He finished the pizza and fell asleep on the couch completely exhausted from the day. He snored softly as the TV played and dreamt about him and Chris holding hands while walking. A simple but perfect dream.
He woke up to a phone call he sleepy operand it with a husky voice he answered. "Hello?" He said.
"Oh uhh I you voice I didn't mean to wake you up Mike I'll-" Chris stammered. Mike sat up quickly fumbling his phon dropping it on the floor he went down with it. Speaking to it on the floor. "CHRIS" he loudly said. "Hey what's up. I woke up a while ago actually it's all good bro." He spoke calmly and not at all nervously.
"Cool I wanted to know what time to be there and if I should bring something?" Chris asked.
"Nah just bring yourself okay and be here at four. But its fine if youre late totaly." Mike answered. Chris replied "okay. I'll see you soon." And hanged up.
Mike saw the time it was 12 and he ran into the kitchen. "Ahhhhhh the cakes" he screeched. He quickly went into work and began to work on multiple cakes at once and put them in the oven. Luckily his oven huge and everything will be fine. He made red velvet, marble, and chocolate fudge. Mike decorated the cake to look like Christmas presents. Somehow it was three, a Christmas miracle, and he has an hour to get ready. He can do that. He put everything away cleaning the kitchen and he ran to take a quick hot shower and put on a Christmas sweater. Why is it called ugly Christmas sweater it's kinda nice. He thought to himself.
He heard the door knocked and came downstairs to let everyone in with a smile.
They all loved everything. They loved the food, decorations, drinks. "Dude you went above and beyond. Nice" Josh said.
"The decorations are too cute and amazing. It really feels like Christmas here." Sam happily said.
"Yeah I loved this peppermint shot and brownies." Emily said giving one to Jessica. "So freaking good." She said.
"I love the cake I almost feel bad eating it . It looks so amazing" Matt said happily eating it.
"I love the holly margaritas and fudge brownies." Ashley happily said.
"I love the red velvet cake" Hannah said. "Same it's door good " Beth agreed
Chris put his hand on his shoulder. "Everything is so perfect and delicious." Chris said taking a bite and his eyes rolling back and moaning so good. Mike's face heated up and everyone laughed. "Huh what happened ?" Chris asked oblivious.
"Nothing come over here I want to talk" Mike said nervously. They went under a doorway and Mike stared at Chris's Christmas sweater. Smiling at it, then he looked at Chris and smiled wider.
With deep breath he spoke. "Chris you make me happy, you're so perfect and funny and sweet. You always make me want to be better and you encourage me, you're always there for me, and you're really cute and hot. Also you have the best laugh i always want to make you laugh and smile, and spoil you. I love listening to you talk even if i don't understand it up still love hearing you be happy and know what you know and ask questions and I love being with you. We could just sit in silence and id love it. I love you Chris. Do you want to be mine and go out. Oh I'll be yours too." Mike asked nervously but with confidence.
"Mike I..I yes! Hell yes Mike i had the biggest crush on you for a while and I didn't know if you felt the same and yes!." Chris happily shouted. Chris grabbed Mike and pulled him in for a kiss. He kissed Mike deeply staring into his surprised eyes and pulled back with a smile and pointed up. "Mistletoe. And I love you Mike. Merry Christmas." He said
Mike was surprised about the secret crush. Then he kissed Chris and laughed happily and hugged him tightly. "I love you too. You big dork Merry Christmas." Mike said grinning happily.
Everyone was so happy the pinning idiots finnaly confessed and they all enjoyed the party. Mike held Chris's hand the entire time and both blushed happily the entire party.
