Sorry guys I literally don't know anything about any other holidays so I'm going to write this about christmas and shit. Also I know this is like a week after christmas, just wait until you see how late my new years story will be.
Fem!Nordics x reader
You were invited over to the scandinavian lesbians' house, just like you had been every year since you met the five after you decided to study abroad in northern europe. You bundled up in all seven layers of coats you had and started making your way over, the cold air making your face feel tingly. The roads were covered in layer upon layers of snow but it wouldn't have been worth it to drive because their house was only one and a bit of a block away, so you trudge through the knee-high snow. It was easy to tell which house was their's due to the blinding christmas lights and loud obnoxious christmas music blasting inside. You quickly made your way up the driveway, knocking three times on the door and taking a step back. For a second you thought they wouldn't hear you but then you heard Marie's excited shouting and loud footsteps running over to the door. Marie slammed to door open and grabbed your arm, dragging you inside and into a hug. You gratefully accepted the hug, hugging back and taking the opportunity to non-creepily smell Marie's hair. She brought you over into the living room where everyone was sitting with a cup of hot chocolate and an ugly christmas sweater. Tina put her hot chocolate down and went over to go hug you while Emilia gave you a small awkward smile, Liv gave you a longing look, and Beatrix gave you a slightly violent glare. Then Beatrix broke the awkward silence that formed after Tina finished hugging you, "You're not wearing an ugly christmas sweater. I thought we told you that the theme was ugly christmas sweaters."
"Is this not tacky enough?" You looked down at your red and white stripped cable knit sweater, then back at Beatrix, who shook her head ever so slightly. Emilia stepped up to your help, telling Beatrix to calm down and that she would give you one of her sweaters to wear for the night. You walked over to Emilia's room with her and sat on her bed and she searched through her closet to find a christmas sweater that was tacky enough for Beatrix's standards. Emilia found a red sweater with white reindeer and green stitches all over it and threw it at your face without giving you without giving you heads up to catch it. You thanked Emilia then shooed her out so you
could change your shirt. When you walked back out with Emilia's sweater on, Beatriz gave you an ever so small smile and you took a seat next to Liv. Marie's cheery, alcohol-filled voice slightly echoed around the room due to just how loud she was "Let's open our presents guys!!"
"Did you guys not open your presents yet?" You asked as you looked over to the christmas tree to see that it was full of presents underneath. They all shook their heads and you waited for one of them to answer you. None of them wanted to say anything, even Marie, who normally spoke up about anything and everything, was fidgeting her thumbs and looking at the ground. Finally Tina spoke up "We didn't want to open anything until you got here, it just wouldn't be like christmas if you weren't here, too." You looked over at the clock in the corner of the room to see that it was already a quarter past nine. You looked back over at Tina and smiled. Knowing that you want that much to them, that they would wait to open their gifts until you got there, no matter how late it was, made you feel all warm and tingly inside.
"Ok well then I guess it was the perfect time to bring these over." You smiled as you opened up the late bag that you had brought over and started pulling out wrapped boxes with ribbons and bows on top of them. All their faces lit up as you handed them their individual boxes. Emilia wanted you to open her gift to you first, to which you gratefully complied. Emilia's gifts were always special and handmade, like how last year she made you a teddy bear and the year before that she made you a scarf and matching mittens. You unwrapped the dark purple wrapping paper to see an old shoe box. You made a joke about how you always wanted a box for christmas and she covered her face in second hand embarrassment for your terrible and overused joke. You opened up the box to see a stocking that was just like the ones they all used, red with pretty patterns and their names stitched at the top. You ran your fingers over the cursive ____________ at the top and smiled widely, walking over to hug Emilia, giving her a small peck on the cheek as you did so.
"Me next! Me next!" Marie yelled and dove under the tree to grab one of the presents labeled to her. She smiled and exclaimed that it was to her from Liv. It was a fairly large box, which must have been why Marie picked it, she honestly still thought like a kid. Bigger must = better. She tore through the wrapping paper and ripped open the box like some sort of predator eating for the first time in days. She looked confused as there was nothing in the box. Liv insisted that there was and that she needed to reach to the bottom on the box. And so Marie reached to the bottom of the box and pulled out a piece of paper. She read it out loud "Fuck you." And Liv's face cracked into a smile. You couldn't help smiling yourself.
The next present was Tina's present for Beatrix, which was a small box wrapped in light blue and white stripped wrapping paper. When Beatrix opened the box the smiled and turned it around to show the rest of you. It was a silver broach with some sort of floral design and a pink jewel in he middle. It was beautiful. Emilia sighed and threw a smaller sized box at Liv, facing away from everyone as she did so. Liv smiled, even though Emilia couldn't see her (actually probably especially because Emilia couldn't see her) and started undoing the red ribbon. Liv opened the box to see a paper with Emilia's cursive writing on it that said "Free sister bonding time coupon. Only to be used once". Emilia was still facing away from Liv, so she had to hug her from behind.
"Here." Liv said and handed Emilia a box that was about the same size as the one Emilia had given to Liv. Emilia opened the box to see a piece of paper with words that would make any introvert happy. "I bought a subscription to Netflix for you." Emilia hugged Liv with a huge smile. Tina picked up a box and read the label, smiling to herself when she realized that it was from you. She carefully opened the purple paper to see a box from an expensive jewelry store. Tina popped the box open and looked at the silver necklace you got her before squealing and running over to hug you, exclaiming that she loves it about twenty times as she did so.
"Your turn again." Beatrix said in her monotone voice as she handed you a box. You smiled and accepted, peeling the wrapping off and trying to figure out what if was before you finished taking off the wrapping paper. You smiled widely as soon as you realized what it was. It was a box filled with dvds of every single season of south park. You and Beatrix would always get together on weekends and watch episodes together so getting all the seasons from her seemed reasonable. You hugged her and thanked her but Marie had already grabbed a box and started ripping it open. Marie paused for a second to tell everyone that it was from you before ripping the rest of the paper off. As soon as she read the box and realized what it was she turned to you with the biggest grin possible. When you were visiting your family in canada, you bought beer to bring back for Marie and you were too lazy to give her another gift so you just went with that but she seems really happy so you weren't going to argue with that.
The rest of them opened their presents from each other and that left only the ones from you and the ones to you. You insisted that they be allowed to open the presents first and no one argued with you. You watched them open the boxes and watched as grins formed on all of their faces. Emilia got a lot of books from you, including but not limited to Cinder, Dorothy Must Die, and Matched. (your author's personal suggestions). You got Liv christmas lights but put a note saying that it was for her room because she would always send you pictures of people with lights like that in their rooms and say that it was goals, she seemed happy with that so. You and Tina had very similar minds about what to get Beatrix because you got her a broach as well, expect the one you got her was gold with a white jewel. You had also given Emilia's puffin a cute little christmas themed bow tie and obviously a dog toy for Tina's dog.
Once everyone thanked you for your gifts, you started opening their's. There was a specific order apparently, or at least you were told to open Marie's last. You opened Liv's, which was the biggest. It was galaxy patterned bed sheets and covers. You smiled at her because the both of you got stuff to make your bedrooms more aesthetic. Then Tina left to go get your present. She came back with a cute little dog with brown patches on its face and body. You smiled and hugged the doggy, deciding to name it after your favourite fictional character. Then Marie handed you a small box. You unwrapped it to see that it was a glossy wood box that could open easily. When you opened it you saw a key. You looked up at Marie confused but still smiled.
"It's the key to the attic. We know that you hate living in that tiny dorm room... So we fixed up the attic into a bedroom... _________ we want you to move in with us." Marie explained. You nodded and initiated a group hug, which Emilia was pretending to hate but actually loved. After the group hug ended, Liv stayed next to you to talk to you. The two of you looked up when you heard Beatrix say nothing other than mistletoe. You shrugged and pulled Liv close to you. It was a christmas tradition, what could you do? When you pulled away, Liv was blushing and Marie was yelling that it was her turn to kiss you next. Emilia made a comment about her wanting to kiss you as well. Then Tina said it was unfair that everyone but her got to kiss you. All while Beatrix just sighed and looked completely done with everyone. As soon as no lips were left unkissed, you all walked into the kitchen to start making dinner. Which honestly Marie will probably fuck up again and you'll all have to eat microwaveable meals like you had to do last year and the year before that.
Ok so quick(ish) a/n. So I'm actually starting to do real writing and less fanfic type stuff. So if you actually like my writing no matter what type of writing then please go check out my other account unironic-carrot where I write a lot about murder, the paranormal, and the gays. Currently I'm writing a kind of parody story about a group of gods that are essentially useless but want people to care about them so they go on a mission. A story about a serial killer who has to deal with the stress of not getting caught by the police but also the stress of high school life. And also a story about three paranormal friends who are creatures worshipped by cults but everyone think they're just normal kids. So yea, If any of those interest you please go check them out and just go check out that account even if it doesn't interest you. You might end up liking it anyway. Idk. I'm shit at selling myself.
