I knock on the door to Xander's room, with a big grin on my face. It's his birthday, so of course I have to do something special! The door opens and when we meet eyes it seems I somehow get happier. I don't know what it is, I'm just so happy today. Probably because I get to spend all day with Xander.. "Oh, hey! What's up?" he says, wondering why I showed up at his door with a big smile and my hands behind my back. I had prepared a little gift bag for him, and wanted to keep it a surprise. I open my arms to give him a big hug and I exlaim loudly, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, XANDER!!" Xander chuckles and says, "Ah, thank you! It.. makes me happy you remembered.." he looked to the side and blushes a bit. "So, you gonna let me in or not?" I asked playfully. "O-oh right, sorry, you can come in!" Xander let me into his room and we sat on his bed. I smiled and gave him the gift bag. "Eh? This is.. for me?! H-hey, you really didn't have to do this.." I felt kinda bad that he didn't want it. I don't wanna call him ungrateful, I just hoped he'd be happier about it. "Aww... I was hoping you'd have a happier reaction to me getting you a gift," I said. "Wait, i-it's not like I don't appreciate it, I really do! You just really don't have to get me anyth-" I cut Xander off by kissing him. He was very quiet for a few seconds. He looked honestly shocked at my action. He blushed, I obviously did too, as I could feel my face getting really warm. "Nnn... hey.. y-you can't just... k..kiss me, without warning.." Xander's face was red but he was trying to hide it by putting his scarf over his face. His stuttering was really adorable. "Oh, I-I'm sorry Xander, I wasn't really thinking.." I felt kind of bad. I'm worried I made him uncomfortable.. "N-no, wait, don't apologize. I.. I actually..." He takes a small breath before saying, "I really liked it. It just took me by surprise.." I was so focused on Xander that I forgot about the present I got him. "Oh, hey, you still haven't opened your gift!" He looked up at me, smiling a little. "R-right, I'll open it now," Xander responded quickly. He takes the tissue paper out of the top of the bag, and takes out what's inside, a little red notepad and a pen. "I-I didn't know if you'd even like this, I just thought you could use it to, like, write stuff, or.. something-It's dumb, never mind, y-you don't have to take it if you don't want it-" I started realizing this was a bad idea. What if he hates it, and then- No, I'm overthinking it.. "I really like it! And don't worry, I'll definitely use it a lot! Thank you, Y/N." Xander smiles at me reassuringly. He really likes it..!? "Ehehe.. it makes me really happy to know you like and will actually use it.." I say. "Hey, it's no problem. I'm telling the truth, you know~" Eh?! What does that mean..?! "Wow, you're sure flustered~" Xander looks at me and smirks. Our faces are so close together.. God, just thinking about it makes heart beat faster and faster. He leans into me to the point our faces are touching. "A-ah... Xander.. mmh!" He pulls my face into his and we kiss again, but this time for longer. At this point my heart is racing.. I have butterflies in my stomach. He pulls away, and we both smile from just how good that felt. "H-hey, I'm getting tired.. can I stay with you tonight?" I really couldn't imagine sleeping in the same bed as Xander, or even that we had just kissed. "Oh..! Y-yeah, sure!" Xander's face turns red yet again, he seems surprised by me asking that but also quite happy I even considered staying the night with him. So, we get comfortable in the bed, and I move as close to him as I can. "Good night, Y/N~" "Night, Xander!" I turn over so we face eachother, and I fall asleep in his arms.
