Star
"It's so boring Puck" Rachel complains, her arms and legs splayed out on the couch.
"Yeah I know" I sigh, walking over to the couch.
"You wanna play video games?" I ask her, I lift her legs to sit down then drop them back on my lap once I am sat down.
"No, I am starting to think we should have celebrated Christmas."
"I'm not." I whisper and look away I am afraid she is going to give me one of those Rachel death glares.
"What are we suppose to do then?" She asks, her head laying on the arm rest. Her body lifting off the couch to stretch. My eyes trail down her legs to her feet, her toes are curled. I look all the way back up her body.
"Puck what are you doing? You look like a hungry dog." Rachel asks. I snap right out of the trance.
"Oh I think we should watch a movie and cuddle." Ok it's not a complete lie.
"Cuddle?" she repeats echoing my tone back to me.
"Yeah...cuddle" I cough awkwardly.
"Are you sick? You aren't acting like yourself. I mean serious Puck you want to cuddle...with me." She seems totally confused right now I don't blame her. If I saw me acting like this I would be out of my mind.
"No I am not sick and why wouldn't I not want to cuddle with you?" I ask her but really I am trying to answer the question myself.
"Ummm many reasons, I am not pretty, not cool...not." I don't let her try to list all the impurities she thinks she has.
"Shh, you are beautiful and totally cool and anyone that disagrees is ugly and stupid." I whisper she sits up putting her back against the side or the arm rest and smiles at me.
"Are you ticklish?" I ask looking down at her feet. "Because I am the tickle monster and I am hungry."
"Puck you better not...ah" I attack her feet and she tries to wiggle out. Her smile is glowing and her laugh is contagious. She tries to grab at my hands but the swing back as I keep tickling her feet.
"Puck, Puck haha stop!" she shouts giggling and it's the cutest thing I have ever seen her do.
When I stop she sits back up still laughing but trying to catch her breath.
"Come here I want to cuddle now." I whisper, scooting closer to her, my arm reaching out towards her.
"Say please" she pants.
"Please" I whisper and she rests her head on my chest.
"Ok tickle monster" she laughs. I can't help but smile and say "You better watch out I might get hungry again later on."
"Well I will be ready this time."
"I bet you will..."
"I will"
"You know what I forgot to tell you."
"What Puck?"
"That you are my Christmas star."
