Day 9 of CountDown to Christmas
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Joshua was at training and you were home alone. You had done a lot of the main housework that needed to be done and you had also caught up on the series that you had been watching. Searching through the house, you couldn't find anything to do so after some long thought you decided to go to the shop which was about a 10-minute walk so you could buy some things to do baking. You took a slow walk to the shop just enjoying the quiet and the fresh air even though it was quite chilly outside. It was nice just to have the cold air on your skin especially since it wasn't raining so better take advantage of the dry weather whilst it was still here. When you made it to the store you slowly walked around looking at everything making sure you didn't forget anything. The silence was nice since you don't get a lot of that now since you live with Joshua. You got everything that would be needed to do some baking plus some other little bits to treat yourself because you do deserve it having to deal with Joshua every single day. Since it was just after 2 it didn't take long to get through the queue because a lot of people were in work. As soon as you took a step out of the supermarket you took a deep breathtaking in all of the fresh air before you started the walk back home. You eventually made it back home after a long and slow stroll back home. There wasn't anywhere that you needed to be so you decided to take a leisurely stroll. You weren't home alone though for a long time because Joshua can back from training shortly after you made it back.
"Y/N, I'm back!" Joshua shouted as soon as he opened the door. You finished putting the stuff away as Joshua could come to find you in the kitchen instead. You were about to open your mouth to reply but another voice started to talk before you could.
"Oh Y/N" Leon shouted as he walked in as well. So you were guessing that Josh and Leon were just going to hang out. You walked into the hallway from the living room rolling your eyes at Leon. You would always joke about how loud Leon was so now every time he would walk into yours and Joshua's house he would make as much noise as possible to annoy you. He always knew how to get on your nerves and he definitely always tried to annoy you as much as he can.
"Oh great, he's back." You said jokingly to Leon. You and Leon were good friends and this was the point at which your friendship was at just annoying each other to no ends. Leon just smiled at you not even bothering to say anything back to you.
"We're going to play some FIFA," Joshua said kissing your cheek before turning back to the living room to go and set the game up for him and Leon. He would usually kiss you properly but because Leon was with him he didn't. Leon watched the exchange before jokingly copied Joshua. He kissed you on the cheek before going into the living room. You could hear both Joshua and Leon laughing at the look on your face. You were in some sort of shock at what just happened it's not like it hasn't happened before because it has. When there was a big event with cameras he would kiss you on the cheek for a polite welcome but he's never done it when there were no cameras around so that was why you were in shock.
"Idiot." You shouted after Leon once the shock left you. Joshua and Leon didn't say anything back they just started laughing harder. This just made you laugh as well at hearing them laugh. The two of them together were a lot of trouble so you knew that you would have to keep a watch on them. If you didn't watch them they would probably set up traps in your house and play different pranks on you. The amount of times Joshua has played different pranks on you since the two of you got together was unbelievable and even though you sometimes got him back there was a lot of times that you didn't. When Joshua and Leon were together they would plan pranks together not only to play on you but also on the team. There were some times where you would join in with the pranks but not a lot. The pranks were never too extreme but just really annoying.
"I'm going to make some cookies." You said to them just letting them know where you would be but you got no reply from them. You just guessed that there were already too far into there game to actually care. That what's your thought anyway. Unknown to you they were actually planning to do things to annoy you they just put on the game so you would think that they were playing that. They did put on a game and start playing it though so when you walked into the living room they were actually playing the game. Since the two of them were to busy playing the game you decided to put on some Christmas music so you wouldn't have to listen to the music that came from the game. The first song that came on was Little Mix's new Christmas song 'the one I've been missing' and you did enjoy this song.
'Cause I've been gone so long
But I kept holding on
'Cause I need to show you
Just how much I love you this Christmas
Is it the lights in your eyes?
They never shone so bright
I've waited all year to be near
To the one I've been missing
This Christmas'
You started to sing as the chorus as it came one and you turned away from the dough to make sure that the oven was on and at the temperature, it needed to be on for the cookies. When you turned back around you saw Joshua putting his finger in the dough of the cookies. You just watched him do it for a couple of seconds before you actually realised what Joshua was doing. You thought that the dough was slowly going down but you kind of thought that it was just your imagination playing tricks on you.
"Stop sneaking in here to eat the dough or I'll smack you with the spoon." You said to Joshua and Leon who when you weren't looking we're putting there fingers in the dough to eat some of it. You even went to jokingly hit him with the spoon just to put emphasis onto what you said to them. They were meant to be playing their game but no they decided to annoy you. Joshua and Leon both stood there with smirks on there faces. Joshua looked at you in the eye as he put his finger into the dough and put it in his mouth. Without hesitating you grabbed the spoon and hit him in the arm. Hard. The slap of the spoon against his arm was loud but you didn't care you warned him and he continued doing it. You could see out of the corner of your eye that Leon was trying to hold back his laugh probably scared that you would hit him with the spoon as well which you obviously wouldn't. Unless he ate some more of the dough then you would have to.
"Ow, that hurt," Joshua whined rubbing his arm from where you hit him. The red mark was really showing against his pale skin. You quickly looked over at it but it didn't look too bad there will defiantly be a mark but no bruise or anything and it was his own fault. You warned him and he didn't take the warning so you hit him.
"Don't test me." You said to him. You turned to Leon to see if he would try anything but he just put his hands up in surrender. You just stared at him not believing that he wouldn't touch the dough but you left him slightly trusting him but you wouldn't take your eyes off the dough. Since the dough was all made and the oven was warm enough you started to put it on the oven tray so you could place them in the oven. With the amount of dough that both Joshua and Leon ate the cookies were smaller then you expected them to be and there wasn't as many. You just shook your head and placed them in the oven and set a timer on the oven so it would go off when the cookies were done. Joshua and Leon moved back into the living room whilst you were doing this so that they could actually play a game of FIFA. You could hear them shouting at the TV so when the cookies were in the oven you just stayed in the kitchen sorting out all of the little things not wanting to be in the room whilst the two of them were screaming and shouting. There wasn't a lot that needed to be done so you were just watching the cookies to make sure that they didn't burn that was until you decided to make a hot chocolate. When you were at the shop you brought some and some whipped cream and marshmallows to put on it so you knew that you definitely had some unless Joshua messed with it when you weren't watching.
"Do you guys want hot chocolate?" You shouted in the direction of the living room. You were only making a hot chocolate because it gives you something to do whilst the cookies are still in the oven. You waited for a response but you never got one. You just shrugged your shoulders not bothering to go into the living room. If they didn't hear you then they weren't getting one. You checked the cookies before probably starting the make the hot chocolate and you suddenly realised how long it's been since you last time you had a hot chocolate. It had to be around Christmas time last year. The hot chocolate didn't take long to make and as you were putting the whipped cream on top the timer for the oven started going off so as soon as the hot chocolate was fully done you went and took the cookies out so that they could cook down before eating them.
"Josh, you and Leon want any food?" You shouted to Josh. If they wanted any food you would bring it to them since you were about to go in there and if they wanted something later you wouldn't be moving unless you wanted something. You heard Joshua ask Leon if he wanted anything before he shouted back to you.
"Can we have some cookies?" Joshua shouted back to you. So he heard that but not when you were asking if they wanted a hot chocolate. You mumbled under your breath how he shouldn't have any since he ate the dough.
"Yeah" You ended up replying with putting the cookies that were now cool enough to move onto a plate so you could carry them into the living room. Before you did you grabbed a candy cane and opened it and popped it into your mouth before deciding to take everything into the living room. Carefully you picked up both the cookies and your hot chocolate walking slowly into the living room and placing the cookies on the table as soon as you could. You were shocked with yourself that you didn't drop either of them whilst walking into the living room because you are clumsy. You sat down next to Joshua with the hot chocolate in your hand as you were watching the FIFA game that was happening on the screen. Out of the corner of your eye, you could see Joshua sneaking his hand over and swipe a bit of the whipped cream off of your hot chocolate. You saw his hand come back to do it again but before he could you moved your hot chocolate out of his reach.
"Try stealing the whipped cream of my hot chocolate again I will stab you with a candy cane." You said taking the candy cane out of your mouth which was sharp at the end from the way that you had been eating it. You kept it in your hand whilst you ate some of the whipped cream off of the top of the hot chocolate. You also took a sip of your hot chocolate to see if it was still too hot to drink which it was so you put the candy cane back into your mouth. You also placed the mug down onto the table so that it wouldn't burn your hands since the mug was still burning hot. Once the mug was on the table you sat back on the sofa next to Joshua just watching there FIFA game which was currently at 1-1 and you couldn't care less about who would end up winning.
"She's crazy Leon," Joshua whispered to Leon. Well, it wasn't really a whisper because it was quite loud. You turned around and hit him with your hand which made both Leon and Joshua burst into laughter. He was lucky that you didn't stab him with the candy cane in your mouth because it was tempting. Very tempting but you didn't. You just hit him with your hand on the spot where you hit him with the spoon and his arm was still red from that. He was laughing too much to complain but you could see him rubbing his arm from where you slapped him.
"You could've offered us one," Joshua said to you. You looked at him in shock since you knew that you defiantly did offer. You may have shouted it so they may not have heard you but you defiantly did ask them.
"I did. You both were too engrossed in your game to pay attention to me." You said gesturing to the game that Leon had unpaused when Joshua was laughing to try and score another goal so that he could win without it going to extra-time or penalties. Joshua quickly noticed this though and picked up his controller and began to play to stop Leon from scoring. They were both too competitive for there own good. You sat back and just enjoyed watching Joshua and Leon jumping out of there chairs when they nearly scored but slumping back down into it when the goalkeeper saved it. You were actually really entertained by the game as you didn't know who was going to win. You picked up your hot chocolate and began drinking it watching intently the game. In your head, you started making bets to yourself about what the score was going to be and who was going to win.
"Let's go," Joshua shouted as he watched whoever he was playing with place the ball into the back of the net. It was literally the last minute of the game when the ball went into the net and he started dancing and celebrating around the living room rubbing it into Leon's face. Taking a glance at Leon you could tell he was annoyed. You didn't know whether he was annoyed that he was losing or if it was because Joshua was rubbing it in his face. Probably a bit of both to be honest. Joshua did eventually sit down and won the game. Joshua at the end put his hand out for Leon to shake and he just hit it away but pulled Joshua into a hug saying how he better be leaving.
"See you tomorrow in training," Leon said to Joshua and they did there handshake which they do every single time that they see each other and every time they leave. It always seemed to change as well every time you saw them do it. It was like they could never remember what it was so decided to change it on the spot.
"Bye Y/N" Leon said once he eventually let go of Joshua. He went up and gave you the biggest hug which you gave him back.
"See you soon Leon." You said closing the door once he left. Joshua instantly grabbed you from behind as soon as the door closed. He pulled you against his chest obviously missing you from this morning because he couldn't do this when Leon was here. Joshua was always really cuddly and needy when none of the guys was around just wanting to be around you constantly and would hardly let go of you. However, when the guys were around it was a completely different story and although he was still near you a lot of the time he wasn't as cuddly. Alone Joshua would just randomly grab you and hug you tightly and kiss you and you had to admit you did like that Joshua. He pulled you into the living room and straight to the sofa where he collapsed onto it and pulled you onto him.
"Can you get some food for us please?" Leon asked you since he couldn't move. He couldn't move but you just didn't want to move you were too comfy laying on Joshua.
"Get it yourself." You said to him kissing the side of his neck. His hands were on your back tracing shapes onto it. It was really nice but it wouldn't make you go and get the food for him. If anything it would make your stay on Joshua for longer because of how soothing it is.
"I've had training all day I'm hurting," Joshua said like it's an excuse to why he can't get up and off of the sofa to go and get the food himself. Like that's a good enough reason. How is it your fault that he's had training all day? You never told him to be a football player. You could also work all day and then go home to cook and make food for both you and Joshua for when he comes home. You would also do the housework after coming home from work and he was complaining about going to get food when he doesn't even have to cook it. If he generally thinks that you will move to go and get him food that you don't even want he is kidding himself.
"Poor you." You said laughing not moving an inch off of him. You were too comfortable just lying on him talking so you didn't want to move. To be honest you didn't want him to move either because that would mean that you would have to move but you wouldn't have to get off of the sofa. You heard him sigh deeply but not moving.
"Leon would" Joshua grumbled to himself but you clearly heard him.
"Go and marry Leon then." You retaliated. You couldn't help but smile at the thought of Joshua and Leon getting married it would be the best thing in the world.
"Maybe I will!" Joshua stated. This made you let out the laugh at how determined he actually seemed to make this happen. You knew it was a joke but to someone who didn't, they may actually think that he was telling the truth and was determined to do it.
"Who said I would be marrying you anyway?" Joshua said after a couple of minutes of silence like he just properly realised what you said. There was nothing about you said that indicated that you and Joshua would get married but that's what he took from it.
"Everyone we meet." You said to him smiling brightly. There were times when you would just think of the future and you could actually imagine you and Joshua getting married with all of your closest friends and family around you sharing the moment. Joshua smiled back at you like he knew what you were thinking of.
"One day... one day I will," Joshua said. He was making a promise and you knew that. The two of you were pretty young and you just wanted to enjoy life at the moment so you knew that was a promise for the future. You lifted your head up and kissed him like you were sealing the promise with a kiss. 'One day' you thought. 'One day this man will be your husband and you will have your own family.'
