Considering you and Leigh had just gotten engaged you both had discussed and decided that just for this Christmas it was just gonna be you and her. To fully relax after the excitement of the engagement and just be in peace with two of you stuffing your faces all day with food, drinking all the alcohol possible and rewatching Christmas movies you both had seen a hundred times since you both were kids under a blanket with the fire on with your dog and cat on either side of you. You both were okay and agreed with this plan…. Your families however the second you both discussed this with them it may as well have been world war 3. Needless to say, you both were quite taken aback that they calmed down and accepted it once you explained the reasoning. It made you both feel very uneasy but you carried on and thought nothing of it.

Here you both were a few days before shopping for groceries for Christmas dinner and dessert just enough for the both of you. As you were picking up so food just about to throw it into the shopping basket you heard from behind you “Y/N/N I love you but we don’t need those this year.” You look down at your hand and place it back and shake your head “force of habit Leigh you know that.” you giggle as you hear her mumble trust me I know.

Once you finally pulled up into the driveway you sighed in relief. “Leigh I am not changing from my pyjamas and lazy clothes for the next few days. I am not leaving this house until this holiday season is finished with.” Leigh smirks as she stares at you she gives you a high five “ohh you don’t have to worry about that same. You are going to be seeing good old natural Leigh, no makeup, messy bun and who doesn’t give a damn about anything.” you smile and lean over the dashboard to kiss her “excellent because I love being around that Leigh, it is my favourite Leigh to be around.” Leigh pats your chest and gets out of the car as she mumbles suck up.

After a while, you both settle down with your takeaway, glasses of wine and cuddled up underneath a blanket intending to spend the next few days in the exact position.

You had woken up far too early for a morning but it was Christmas morning you decided to let Leigh sleep for longer as you chose to let Leigh sleep for as long as she possibly could. As you opened the door to your bedroom slightly your dog and cat both ran to the bed to sleep as close as possible to Leigh. You couldn’t help but smile at the sight as you closed the door quietly.

You lost track of the time of how long you had been prepping the food for later on but the next thing you knew was Leigh was walking into the kitchen her arms wrapping around you as she bit into a piece of chocolate as you heard a muffled Merry Christmas. You smiled and handed her your coffee mug “Merry Christmas.” Leigh groaned at the sight and smell of the coffee as she placed multiple kisses around your face “oh my God. I love you, I love you, I love you. You are the best, you’re so good to me. Mwah!” you grin as you see her skip off to the living room with the pets following right behind her. You waltz in a few minutes after Leigh holding another mug of coffee as you kiss the top of her head. “All the dinner stuff is cooking so it should be done in a while even though it is early. I know we’d prefer to get dinner out of the way and get to eat all the junk food sooner.”

“You know me so well.” Leigh leans up and places a kiss on your lips.

“I’d be worried if I didn’t considering I’m getting married to you.”

“I would offer you alcohol but 1. It is far too earlier and 2. As much as I love drunk Leigh I don’t fancy taking care of drunk Leigh and her forgetting our first Christmas engaged.”

Leigh huffs crosses her arms and pouts like a child “as much as I want to disagree. I agree with your last point I want to remember this Christmas with you, sweetie.”

You grin as you both lean in and place soft kisses on each other's lips, you both chuckle when you feel your dog and cat nuzzle in between the two of you. “They get the jealousy and possessiveness from you Leigh.” Leigh scoffs and rolls her eyes. You both didn’t get each other many gifts because you both thought the engagement was a big enough gift as it was. But she got you some more records for your record player. Whilst you got her a new laptop and some more equipment for her home office, to help her out more with her writing. Which you both were appreciative of.

Both of you were cuddled up on the couch after eating probably far too much than what was necessary but you both couldn’t deny the fact it was so delicious. So here you both were absentmindedly watching the movie that was being shown on the television. As you ran your finger around the rim of your wine glass. Discussing just how much had to be planned for this wedding and especially how Leigh wanted this wedding to go considering her past. As much as she said this was your wedding as well you wanted to make sure she was comfortable with everything going on, hell you even offered to just run off and elope and get married in private and come back and surprise everyone.

Leigh was tipsy and you couldn’t lie so were you, you both had gotten to the stage of sitting at each end of the sofa attempting to throw sweets into each other's mouths. It had started off perfectly it was going in every single time. But as it progressed it would miss completely. It would either hit off another section of your face or be thrown way off target. Which led to you both running to make sure the pets didn’t eat it. Once you both started to settle down again you had gone to the kitchen to get some glasses and bottles of water to sober up considering it was still early in the day. At the instance, you and Leigh started to sober up both of your phones went off at the same time. You both stared at each other as you hesitantly reached to your phone. You both uttered fuck in unison as you turned to each other and said at the same time.

“My family is coming over now.” that instant the doorbell and knocking started you both took a deep breath as you reached the door and open it. You both greeted them with a small Hi as all of your family barged in past the two of you. The scene of both of your families running around the house and kitchen with even more food made you both feel sick to your stomachs but you both stared at each other and grinned. “I mean at least we got a few hours to ourselves and kind of had our own Christmas day.”

Leigh nodded slowly “Let’s be honest we both knew when they agreed with us about having the day to ourselves it was too easy. We knew they were gonna show up and that’s why you subconsciously got up so early so we could still have some of the day to ourselves.” You rub your arm up and down Leigh’s arm and kiss the top of her head, as you and Leigh are just standing there taking each other and everything else in you hear both of your mother’s at the same time exclaim “are you two just gonna stand there or are you gonna help?” You both tense lightly and mutter we’re coming, mom.

It had once again come around to spending the Christmas season with the Shaws. It’s been years since you and Leigh started dating it just so happened that you spent most of the holidays no matter what they were with her family. Albeit Leigh felt guilty about always spending time with her family and not yours. However, you assured her as much as you could that they understood, they wanted her to spend as much time as she could with her family and that now included you. It was when you both started first dating she slowly but surely started telling you about the difficulties she had with starting new relationships after what happened Matt. You assured her then like you do now that everything could go at her pace whatever she felt comfortable with you weren’t gonna pressure her. She couldn’t have been more thankful, you were one of the few people who weren’t coddling her like a baby without even knowing you made her go out and face the world head-on and actually put a huge focus on her articles with Drew.

Here you both were years later living together in a house with a little dog running around the house listening to the tippy taps on the wooden and tiled floors. As you were lugging down boxes and boxes of decorations from the attic, listening to the taps of keys from Leigh in her office listening to her soft mumbles as she types. Whilst sometimes as she calls it you become her sounding board to see if everything she’s gonna say is acceptable. As you were rooting through the attic looking for the Christmas tree you shouted down to her “Leigh, do we not have a tree here? Did we throw out our last tree?” you hear a stop in her typing as she leans back in her chair as she clicks her tongue “ehh that is a good question, I don’t think so I’m pretty sure you’re right. We threw it out because it was a small enough tree with the apartment we were staying in.”

She gets out of the chair and walks over to where the entrance is. As you sat down and looked down at her “that’s what I thought because there is no tree shape box or bag up here, am I gonna have to go get one?” Leigh smirks as she looks up at you and nods “yeah you are sweetie.” You stare at her as you start exiting the attic and exhale “and are you sure my wonderful, smart, strong girlfriend doesn’t wanna come with me?” you wrap your arms around her waist and pull her against you. Leigh giggles as she places her hands around your neck and plays with your hair “as much as I would love to join you, I gotta get this article done for Drew. You know how he gets if it’s even a second late.” You throw your head back and groan “ugh it’s just annoying sometimes but I understand I’ll see what they have and I’ll facetime you once I’m there so you can have some input.”

Leigh grins “see this is why I’m dating you, you are a genius I wouldn’t have thought of that.” Leigh places kisses around your face ending with your lips as you both smile and admire each other. You place another long kiss on her lips “alright I better go before the crazies get all the good trees, actually do you want me to go get a real or fake tree?” Leigh leans against the door frame as she crosses her arms “just get a fake one that way we won’t have to spend money every year and one year if we decide to treat ourselves to a real one we can.” You nod as you walk downstairs and grab your keys and wallet “alright I’ll be back in a while Babe.” you hear a faint bye as you shut the door.

To say the store was chaotic was an understatement but you did as you said and face timed Leigh as soon as you got in the door of the store. It took a few minutes but when she answered she was downstairs “hey love, also you’re in the kitchen what are you doing?”

Leigh shrugs “I was just taking a break now show me trees!” you laugh at her antics. One thing you didn’t expect was Leigh to be so picky about choosing Christmas trees alas here you were showing her every tree on display in the store. She finally decided on a tree she liked, you looked down at her and smirked “alright I’ll be back in a few with our new tree.” Once again you lugged the tree and shoved it into the back of your car, it may have been in the most awkward position but it fit. As you pulled into the driveway you balanced the tree on your shoulder as you knocked on the door with your forehead. She opened it far quicker than you anticipated and nearly fell in the door but to your luck she grabbed you. “You clutz.” You couldn’t do anything but look up at her and nod.

As you walk further into the house you smell the scent of fresh cookies being baked and some of the decorations being hung up around the house, as a faint smile appears on your face. You place the tree down as you run over to the kitchen like a child. The faint yelling of Leigh can be heard “Y/N step away from the cookies, they are just out of the oven they’ll burn your mouth.” but she couldn’t help but smile and seeing your happiness about the decorations starting to be hung up around the house as well as your excitement for the cookies. Your eyes dance between the cookies and Leigh, she can see the mischievous glint in your eye as she crosses her arms tilts her head and raises her eyebrow. Your eyes stop at Leigh as you purse your lips and move away from the cookies and walk over to unbox the tree. “why did you make cookies anyway?”

Leigh skips into the kitchen as she checks on the other cookies currently in the oven “well you were being so nice going into the attic to get our decorations and then went to get our very own Christmas tree. So I thought I’d do something nice for you well for the both of us as well. You lean against your knee as you look up at her “I fucking love you so much, you are the best.” Leigh looks down and blushes slightly as shifts the weight across her feet. “I love you too.” once Leigh leaves the room to get out the rest of the cookies you start setting up the tree in the corner you both had previously discussed. As you stepped back and looked at it your jaw dropped and muttered a fuck. You cleared your throat “...uhh Leigh babe can you come in here for a sec?”

“Yeah coming” Leigh runs into the living room with a cookie hanging out of her mouth. Her jaw drops and the cookie falls out of her mouth but luckily manages to catch it. “Y/N what’s with the size of the tree.”

You look at her in disbelief “Leigh I love you but this is the tree you picked out and decided.”

She eyes you as she takes a bite of her cookie “Y/N we can’t have this tree in our house it’s huge! Take it down! I don’t need that monstrosity in our living room!” you stare at Leigh and run your hands down your face and through your hair as you stare at the tree. “Leigh maybe it just looks massive because our last tree was so small, why don’t we decorate it and then see how it is. Maybe you’ll warm up to it and if you don’t we can ring your mother and Jules for their opinion also we can’t take it down because a Christmas tree is a staple of Christmas. We can’t be celebrating Christmas without a tree.” Leigh stares at you as she shoves the rest of her cookie in her mouth. Whilst her foot is tapping against the floor. “Fine let’s decorate it.”

After many hours of trying to have the tree decorated perfectly, you both flopped down onto the sofa as you both stared at the tree with the lights reflecting off the windows and mirrors. You hear Leigh let out a big sigh, you turn your head towards her and raise your eyebrows. “Okay, maybe you were right. It was just such a change from the small tree we had before.” you giggle as you shove her shoulder “I told you, you’d end up loving it.” She eyes you as she gets up grabbing the plates of cookies as she hands you one. “As much as I hate it you were right.” You grin and place your arm around her and place half the cookie in your mouth and turn your head towards Leigh. She raises her eyebrow confused, you wiggle your head motioning to the cookie in your mouth. She smiles as she leans in and bites the other half of the cookie. She hears the slight moan and eyes rolling back as you taste the cookie. Much to your surprise Leigh leans in and places a chaste and passionate kiss on your lips.

“Merry Christmas my love.”

“Merry Christmas Darling.”
