First Christmas Together

 First Christmas Together

A I Will Love You More Than Death one-shot

Emily P.O.V

It's Christmas Eve! I'm so excited! First I'm gonna have pancakes with my family, then I'm going over to my boyfriend's place to give his mom the gift I got her. Then Kieran and I are going to build a snowman in the park, and grab some hot cocoa at the coffee shop. It's gonna be so good! After breakfast, I walk over to Kieran's house. I knock on the door, and his mom answers. She was actually able to get today off work, which is awesome! "Why hello Emily!" She says inviting me in. "Merry Christmas Eve Miss Danson!" I say, handing her the present I got her. "Oh thank you dear, and I've told you to call me Sandra." She says with a smile. "Oh right, sorry." I say shyly. "It's okay darling." She then proceeds to unwrap her gift. "Oh Emily this is beautiful!" She says, taking out a bracelet. "Do you like it? I made it myself." I say. "I love it! I'm gonna put it on right now." And she did, it was a blue and purple beaded bracelet with the word "Hope" and a little heart charm on it. "I'm so happy you like it!" I say, and she pulled me in for a hug. "Where's Kieran?" I ask, looking around. "Oh, I'm afraid he's not feeling well today. I know of all days to be sick, it had to be today." She says sadly. "Oh poor K." I say looking down. (That's my nickname for him) "But I'm sure he would love to see you." She says, with a smile. I head upstairs to his room, and when I reach his door I softly knock. "Kieran? It's me! I'm sorry you're sick." I say entering his room. When I look inside, I see my love all curled up in blankets, and sniffling. "My poor boy." I say, sitting down on the bed. "Hey baby, Merry Christmas Eve." He says, his voice a little scratchy. "Merry Christmas Eve babe!" I say, gently feeling his forehead. "Hmm, you're a little warm." I say. "Yeah, I have a fever. And my body aches, I also have this awful cough." He says, and just as he says it, his body was wracked with a coughing fit. "Oh babe." I say with concern. I rub his back gently, "there we go it's okay." I say gently. "Ow, that hurt." He says, laying back against the pillow. "It sounded like it hurt, I'm sorry you feel so bad." I softly caress his face, looking into his glassy eyes. "I'm sorry, about our plans being cancelled. I know how much you wanted to spend the day together outside." He says sniffling. "Don't worry about that K, I'm just as happy being here, helping you feel better." I say, with a small smile. "You're so sweet baby girl." He says, grabbing my hand. We settle in for the rest of the day, watching Christmas movies, and Kieran's mom even made us some hot cocoa. "I know, Christmas is tomorrow. But I wanted to give you your present now." I say, grabbing my bag. I take out a small box wrapped in black and red plaid paper. "Oh thank you baby." He says, sitting up to open it. The look on his face was pure joy, as he pulled out the picture frame. "Baby, this is amazing!" He says, looking at the picture. It was a picture of us on our first trip to the park, our favourite spot to go. "You still look so beautiful." He says, looking up at me. "Aww babe, thank you. And you still look as handsome as ever." I say blowing him a kiss. "Thank you so much baby girl, this is the best gift ever!" He says, pulling me in for a hug. "I'm so glad you like!" I say. "I have something for you too." He says, reaching over the side of his bed, and pulling out a wrapped package. I take the package from him, beginning to unwrap it. When I opened it, I saw the most romantic thing in the world to me. It was the sheet music, and lyrics for the first song he ever wrote for me. I teared up. "I wanted you to have a physical copy, of all the love and thought I put into this song." He said. I pushed the box aside, and flung my arms around him. "This is the sweetest thing ever! I love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I say, kissing his forehead. "Hehe, I'm so happy you love it!" He says, rubbing my back. Another coughing fit raged through his body, and I was there to hold him through it. "Shh, shh, it's okay K, I've got you." I say, through each spasm. "Ouch, that hurts so bad every time." He says, out of breath. "I know, I wish I could help you feel better." I say, feeling a little hopeless. "You already are helping me feel better baby, just being here is a huge relief." He tells me. "Ouch, my sides are so sore." He says, moving slightly in bed. "You poor thing, I know what I can do for that." I say, getting in next to him on the bed. "Move onto your side." I say. Kieran gently moves onto his side, wincing as he turns. "I'm gonna massage your sides, it should help ease the pain." I say, as I softly begin to rub my hands into his sore side. "That feels good baby, thank you." He says, sighing at the feel. "Anytime my love." I tell him. After I finished massaging his sides, Kieran was beginning to feel sleepy. I told him he should rest, because that was going to help him get better. So he laid back down, and I slid in next to him. I put my arms around him, and snuggled into his side. "Get some good rest babe, I'll be right here when you wake up." I whisper to him. "Okay, baby. I love you so much, Merry Christmas." He said, before closing his eyes. I chuckle at his cuteness, and whisper "I love you too K, mwah! Merry Christmas." I say, kissing him.
