Yeah I know it's like a month past Christmas. But I had these, and I couldn't wait until the next Christmas, so here they are. For dealing with my dodgy updating schedule, and me in general, I'm doing a triple-times-two update. So six updates right after each other. Baek first :P Enjoy~
Baekhyun liked Christmas a lot. Quite a lot. In fact, he could call it his favourite holiday.
Because it brought him you.
Though sometimes he wished it didn't have to be all white Christmases with glittering trees laden with snow and streets packed with people. Because maybe then the way you were presented to him could've been better...
But then again, if it had been like that, he might have never met you at all.

'I hate snow. I hate Christmas shopping. I hate snow. I hate Christmas shopping. I hate-' You momentarily paused your highly irritated tirade to avoid runing into a crowd of huddled-up, slow-speed tourists interested in every goddamn thing in the street. Had these people never ever seen a freaking fairy light in their whole life?! If not, then they led a very sad life.
It was a blustery, wintry day when you were stumbling around in the streets, trudging on the thin snow that was slowly turning into slippery ice on the pavements. You hated snow at the moment. Despite all those silly romantics (and formerly being one of those) narrating snow as beautiful, mesmerising and just wonderful in general, you despised snow with a vehement hatred right now. It was the most retarded-
Slip.
You lost your footing on the ice and fell forward, crashing into the ground with a dull thud. This was just great. You cussed under your breath as you hastily got up and ignored the pain.
Snow was an idiot.
Number 1, it had tripped you. And number 2, snow kept falling onto your face, and you really couldn't be bothered to- or generally couldn't- wipe it off your face because you were practically buried under millions of layers and were holding a bunch of shopping bags full of presents in both hands.
Plus the fact that it was dirtying your coat and slowly melting into the soft fabric. You shivered in disgust.
So the snow melted on your face. Which was utterly disgusting. You felt rivulets of water running down your face, and then another snowflake promptly landed on your forehead. And then another. And then yet another. Agh cold, you thought.
They melted too. And ran down your face. Along with something else... A black liquid.
You cursed. 24 hour waterproof mascara your hat, you thought. You applied it this morning.
As you tried to manoeuvre yourself through the streets with your eyes half-closed, you earnestly attempted to get rid of the leaking mascara. It obviously looked appalling. You were sure to throw away that mascara and get a new-
'Annyeong haseyo~ Would you like to come in?'
You whipped your head around to see a cute smiling man standing before you. 'Uhh hi. What?'
This was most embarrassing thing ever. You must've looked so bad, what with running mascara, messed up hair and a throbbing purple-blue bruise under your knee.
'Come into the café. We have very nice coffee.'
Coffee sounded like a good idea. 'Sounds nice, but I spent all my money on christmas shopping.'
'Did you?' he asked wryly. 'That's okay. I'll make it on the house for you.'
'Can waiters do that?'
The man raised an eyebrow. 'Ahm... I'm not a waiter. I kinda own this little café.'
'Whoa you do this stuff for random strangers?'
'Nah, I think you're just-'
'Lucky?'
'No, no. Special. You look like you need the coffee anyway. Come in?' He smiled widely.
His eyesmile is so adorable, you thought. 'Okay then.'
He took your bags and ushered you into the warm café. Mm. It was wonderful in here.
You sat by the window and the man served you a coffee quickly. 'Thanks. What's your name?'
He looked at you in surprise. 'Oh? I thought you'd never ask. My name's Baekhyun. You?'
'___.'
'Nice.'
Baekhyun slid into the seat opposite you with his own cup of steaming drink, smiling genially.
There was a comfortable silence while you finished up. 'Thanks for the drink. Uhh lemme see if I can find you a gift-' you began, rummaging through your bags for a little thank you token.
Baekhyun reached over and held your hand still, making you look up, startled. 'It's okay,' he said, chuckling. 'Meeting you is a great gift. Though I can think of a better gift. Your phone number, perhaps?'
A delighted smile broke out on your face and you scribbled your number onto a napkin before sliding over it to him.
'Thank you.'
'No thank you,' you said. 'Merry Christmas, Baekhyun.'
'Merry Christmas, ___. I'll see you around.' He winked.
No time to dilly-dally, go on. Next page, dearie~ Oh and perhaps a vote and/or comment? It would be the best Christmas present XD Nah, m'not bribing you, the star just looks awfully nice and... tempting, don't you think? Haha s'ok. But thanks everyone! ~Dancing
