happy holidays!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"ugh, it's snowing," i said as i got up from the couch and went to go get another glass of wine,
"you don't like snow?!" damiano looked at me like i was crazy.
"no, it's just such a mess and it's just such a big inconvenience.."
"you're serious? you don't even think it looks pretty? what about when you were a kid you didn't like playing in the snow? come on vic back me up here?"
"y/n has hated snow since we were little kids, as long as i could remember," she added.
i grabbed another bottle of wine from the fridge and grabbed a corkscrew and then walked back into the living room,
"more wine for either of you two?"
"yes please!" vic said as she raised her glass to me,
"ahh sure why not?" damiano said doing the same.
*time skip*
"y/n help me make cookies!" victoria said grabbing me by the arm and practically dragging me into the kitchen,
"ok!" i said as i grabbed some cookie sheets.
"alexa play michael bublé christmas!" vic cheered as i grabbed the cookie ingredients from the cupboard,
we started making cookies and all of a sudden damiano walked into the kitchen and sat down at the island
"hi baby," i smiled as i walked towards him and put my hands on his cheeks
"hi," he replied smiling
"whatcha been up to?" i said as i giggled and wiped the frosting i got on his face off,
"mmm not much.. just wanted to see what you were up to.." he chuckled as i walked back around to where victoria was and returned to helping make the cookies,
"baby try this," i said handing him the spatula..
"that's yummy" he said and returned to watching us cook,
just then thomas entered the kitchen, he opened the blinds, "guys look at all the snow!" he cheered as victoria ran to the window,
"it's so pretty!" she screeched out as damiano joined her and thomas at the window.
"yeah, yeah, whatever.. get back over here and help me!"
"oh i'm sorry little miss i hate snow!" vic said and stuck her tongue out,
"woah what?!" thomas exclaimed
"y/n doesn't like snow! apparently since she was a little kid!" damiano blurted out
"how can you not like snow?" thomas said running over to me
"i don't know i just don't like it?" i said as i returned my focus to the cookies,
"but- but how?" he stammered
"can't a girl just not like snow?" i chuckled
"no! no how can you not like snow?" damiano added,
"guys give her a rest, if she doesn't like it she doesn't like it!" victoria said as she pulled up a chair at the island for herself.
i put yet another cookie sheet into the oven and grabbed the last batch off the cooling rack,
"dami baby, do you want to frost these for me?" i said as i handed him a plate of cookies and some frosting,
"yes!" he giggled and dipped his finger into the frosting,
"damiano!" i giggled as he stuck his finger in his mouth and ate the frosting,
"i had to make sure it's good!" he said as i grabbed the frosting from him and gave it to thomas,
"thomas make sure the little boy here doesn't eat all the frosting!"
*time skip to the next day*
i woke up to damiano kissing my neck.. "mmm" i managed to mumble out, still half asleep.
"buon natale bambina.." he said between kisses, shortly after he returned his full attention back to my neck,
"mhm.." i slid out from under his lips,
"you're such a grinch!" he chuckled and pulled me back over to him,
"am not!" i protested and attempted to escape his grasp.. of course to no avail.
"come on get up it's christmas for goodness sake!" victoria shouted, bursting into our room, thomas close behind her,
"it's also 8:30.. can't we be adults for once and just.. wait.."
"your mom is the grinch!" damiano chuckled out to them and welcomed them onto the bed with us, we often joked about me and damiano being the parents, ethan being the older responsible sibling and thomas and vic being the babies so it wasn't abnormal for something like this to happen,
"i am not the grinch! i just don't want to get up at 8:30!" i hit him with a pillow,
"love you too bambina, buon natale," he laughed and kissed my head.
"come on ma please!" thomas pleaded,
"fine! now get out!"
"GRINCH!" the three yelped out at once, thomas and victoria sprinting out of me an damiano's shared bedroom,
i scooted over towards my side of the bed and pulled the blankets up over my head, damiano immediately ripped them off,
"come on baby, it's christmas and you know those two are just toddlers in adults bodies, let's just go and eat and open presents, we can even watch your favorite christmas movie.." i considered for a moment at the dangled idea of watching the year without a santa claus but i refused to let them win so instead i dragged the covers back over my head.
"don't be such a grinch!" damiano said removing the covers once more, kissing my forehead,
"i'm not a grinch!" i protested and turned away from him, he scooted up closer to me and kissed behind my ears.. which he knew was my favorite..
"of course you're not a grinch bambina.." he released himself from behind my ear and i turned to face him and gave him a quick peck on the lips..
"scrooge" he mumbled not too loud but loud enough i could still hear it,
"alright that's it, get out!" i said and held a pillow over my head,
"come on let's go downstairs.. i'll make you a fancy coffee.."
i threw the pillow off my head and looked at him..
"serious? not a gross coffee maker one?" i cringed at the thought of the watery, miserable keurig coffee's we usually had in the morning, damiano could make the best homemade coffee but it takes a lot of effort to make so he doesn't make it often..
"of course, now come on grinchy!" he said and pulled me out of bed downstairs to the living room,
"finally!" victoria said as she sipped on a hot chocolate, i gave her a death stare to which damiano reminded me of our deal,
"why so upset?" ethan asked,
"it's 8:45 in the morning and my boyfriend and children keep calling me the grinch, do the math!"
"alright alright calm down grinchy!" damiano said taking a seat next to me and handing me a coffee,
"grazie bambino.." i said softly and laid my head down on his shoulders,
"can we open presents?" victoria and thomas said at the same time..
damiano chuckled at their childishness, "sure, why not?"
i slowly stood up and passed out everyone's gifts..
"ok don't go yet.." i said pulling up the camera on my phone.. "ok... go!" i said and watched as they each opened a gift,
we each opened up our gifts and damiano and ethan made us breakfast,
"breakfast is ready!" damiano called from the kitchen and i paused the movie me, victoria, and thomas had started before slowly walking into the kitchen,
"bambina come here," damiano said and pulled me into a hug, he leaned down to kiss me.. "feeling any better scrooge?" he said after pulling away.
"mhm.." i said and sat down, ethan passed me a plate of food.
"how's the food?" damiano questioned between bites,
"it's great bambino, grazie! grazie ethan!"
"yeah it's really good!" thomas added, victoria mumbled something while still chewing,
"victoria chew your food!" i commanded before everyone looked at me, "what?" i questioned,
"you wonder why we call you mom, but you say stuff like that.." thomas giggled,
"no, chewing is just good god damn sense so you don't choke!" i protested.
everyone laughed and we finished our dinner, before going to finish the movie,
"alright guys, see ya!" i said as i headed for the stairs..
"bambina where are you going?" damiano said getting up from the couch himself,
"i have a lot of work to do.. so.. i was gonna go do it.." i said unsure of what was wrong with that.
"bambina it's christmas, please just spend the day with us!" he pleaded and wrapped his hands around my waist,
"we're not really doing much anyways though.." i said quietly
"y/n.. please it's christmas.."
"i'm sorry.." i said as i saw his eyes well up and i started walking up the stairs.
i have nothing against christmas, and i don't mind spending time with the guys but we were sitting around watching tv.. i didn't understand why he was so adamant about me being with them when on a regular day he could have cared less,
i spent a few hours working on stuff i had to do for the band, mostly brand deals and gucci ambassador things, boring stuff but i had the time to do it so why not?
i checked the clock on the desk next to me, 18:00, "just in time for dinner.." i said quietly to myself on my way out of my office, i walked downstairs and saw damiano and ethan prepping for dinner,
"what you cooking up guys?"
damiano mumbled something i couldn't quite hear... "what was that bambino?" i said before he stormed out of the kitchen, "what's wrong with him?" i said turning to ethan,
"no idea, but to answer your question we're having filet mignon!" he said returning his focus to the pans on the stove,
"huh.. oh uh yeah filet mignon.. that sounds good.. smells great!" i said before exiting the kitchen to find damiano.
"dami?" i called out, no response. "dami?" i tried again, not exactly to my surprise, no answer.
"damiano david where the hell did you go?" i said, now starting to get irritated,
i had no luck finding him but when i returned to the kitchen he was there,
"dami baby where have you been?" i questioned, walking towards him, he walked away from me..
"dinner is ready!" he shouted into the living room,
"ok then.." i sighed and sat down at the table, waiting for everyone else, ethan dished out food for everyone and we started to eat..
"how was everyones day?"
"mm.. good," ethan said,
"it was really good!" victoria added, on a sugar high from all the sweets she ate,
"victoria you need to stop eating so much sweets!" thomas giggled "but my day was good y/n, you?"
"it was fine, just got caught up on some work stuff which wasn't super exciting, how about you damiano?"
"dam?" victoria said, radio silence.
"damiano?" i said and waved my hand in his face,
"my day was fine!" he raised his voice not to a yell, but louder than normal..
"what the hell has gotten into you lately?" i said looking at him, he just set down his fork and slammed his chair into the table before storming out of the room,
"ok then.."
"you gonna go after him?" thomas said looking at me,
"nope," i said continuing to eat my food, "he needs time to let off some steam, by now he's sure to be chainsmoking so i'm just gonna let him cool down then go talk to him"
i cleared my plate before heading upstairs to me and damiano's room, sure enough he was on the balcony with a pack of cigarettes,
"can i borrow a lighter?" i said softly before grabbing my own pack of cigarettes from inside my jacket pocket,
he handed me the lighter and we sat in silence, enjoying the cool breeze.
"so.. why are you mad at me?" i said as we were both leaned over the railing watching cars drive by, it was weird but whenever we were upset that always calmed us down,
"i'm not mad." he said and turned around to leave again,
"damiano clearly you are so help me out here," i felt my voice breaking,
he sighed, "fine.." i felt tears start to stream down my face "..cazzo.." he whispered so quietly i almost didn't hear, he wiped away my tears with his thumbs, "bambina i didn't mean for you to cry.." he pulled me into a hug,
"why.. why are you so upset with me? did i do something?" i sniffed and nuzzled closer to him,
"i'm not.. don't worry about it.."
"damiano do you really see a world where pretending like there's nothing wrong ends up fine for you? i'm literally crying now so please.. just tell me whats wrong.."
"you're going to think it's stupid anyways.. or i'm stupid.."
"honestly honey right now i already kind of think your stupid, so just spit it out.."
"it's christmas and you spent more of the day with your computer then you did with me.." he said in almost a whisper,
"oh.." i pondered what to say next, "honey why didn't you say anything earlier, you could have come up to my office or something!" i chuckled now pulling him into a hug, him now the crier.
"gosh the guys were right, we are dramatic.." i tried to lighten the mood, damiano just giggled, "soooo... you gonna tell me why you're so ungodly upset i didn't spend a shit load of time with you?" i said rubbing his back,
"it's christmas," he sniffled,
"and?" i continued on,
"and i wanted to spend time with you i really wanted today to be special.."
"my dear, everyday with you is special.." i coaxed, now running my fingers through his hair.
"but today was going to be different.."
"why's that honey.." i spoke softly, as to relax him,
"because.. i.. i can't tell you.." damiano said carefully deciding whether or not to let it slip,
"dami." i said in a tense voice, he sensed the tone and reassured me,
"no! no! i can't tell you because i'll just have to save the plans for tomorrow.."
"oh ok then.."
"let's go watch christmas movies!" he cheered up and dragged me off the balcony,
"i'm good, i'm pretty tired i'm gonna get ready for bed, you know take a shower and stuff.."
"fine, grinch!"
"am not a grinch!" i giggled and ran after him down the stairs into the living room,
"plan worked!" he laughed and i sat down on the couch between him and victoria, damiano tossed a blanket over me and him and i cuddled up to him to watch movies..
"alright goodnight guys!" i said as we all broke off into our respective rooms,
"dami i'm going to take a shower!" i yelled into the bedroom from the bathroom,
"can i come with you?" he said entering the bathroom,
"sure but this isn't going to be a sexy shower, i just want to take a quick relaxing shower before bed.." i said as i pulled my shirt over my head and untied the drawstring on my sweatpants, well damiano's sweatpants..
"we'll see about that.." he said giggling and getting into the shower..
"fine but that's gonna be your christmas present then.. i'm so tired.."
"merry christmas to me!" he said and pulled me into the shower..
