Just a warning!

Yes, I am one of those crazy people who starts thinking about Christmas the first day of September, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to write a Christmas story about my favorite character romance, Ezra & Aria!

I wrapped my arms around Aria's waist and planted a kiss atop of her head. Fluffy white snowflakes were starting to lie in her thick dark hair.

"mmm, I love the snow" She said into my chest, being muffled by my jacket.

I chuckled, the smallest things excited her and it was adorable, "Okay you little Eskimo, let's get in the car though, I'm freezing."

We both got into my car and drove back to my apartment. We were out getting takeout and renting a movie and now we were on our way to my apartment for a night of cuddling. Emily was going to be Aria's alibi for the night, so I had her all to myself.

When we got back, we rushed from the car up to 3B, to keep ourselves and the food warm. We walked in and I cranked the heat up to keep us warm. It was December 16th and it was just starting to get to the part of the season where it snowed. It was my favorite time of the year. Everything was so bright and happy and the cold weather made it perfect for cuddling. We both piled onto the big comfy chair and dug into our food. We also put in our movie, tonight; we were watching "It's a Wonderful Life". We were both suckers for Christmas movies, not matter how corny they were.

"I have an idea," I said to Aria, after our food had settled, "Let's set up the tree."

"Right now?" She asked.

"Of course right now! I mean we have less than 10 days until Christmas, so now's a better time than ever."

"I love how you think!" She replied. I probably was nuts planning to start a project like this at 8:30 at night, this was something that required all day.

We both tiptoed down to the storage facility on the bottom level of my apartment complex and brought up the tree and box of ornaments. When we got back up, I started putting the tree together as Aria unwrapped my ornaments asking about each one that looked like it had sentiment.

"Ohh! I like this one!" she cooed, holding up a miniature old fashioned telephone, "where did you get it?"

"Uhmm…" I thought, " that one was from my mom when I went away to Hollis, it was to remind me that she was always a phone call away."

She giggled, "That's cute."

"Thanks." I replied.

"Awe!" She cried as she pulled out another ornament. It was an ornament I made in elementary school, it had my picture in the middle of a lace doily that I decorated heavily with stickers, "look how cute you are!"

At that comment, I think I blushed, "It's hard not to be cute when you're a little kid and obsessed with stickers and anything shiny."

Then she spotted another, "This one is beautiful!" It was a Celtic-looking cross that was made of a dark metal.

"That one was my great grandfather's. My dad gave it to me on my 18th birthday, you know…passing it on."

She just nodded. She was completely in awe of everything. I didn't know if it was just because of Christmas being right around the corner, and it is hard for anyone to be anything but bright eyes when it comes to Christmas, or if it was because she felt like she was digging into a more personal side of me. Either or, neither was a bad thing.

After a few hours of hard work, we stacked the empty opened boxes on top of one another, not bothering to put them away. We turned on the Christmas lights, put on some Christmas music, and sat back down in our chair.

We were completely silent for a while, admiring what we had just created. I looked out the small window and saw that the snow was heavily falling outside.

"It's beautiful." I heard her say in almost a whisper.

I kissed her for a moment, wrapped my arms around her and pulled in closer to one another.

"You're beautiful, Aria." I replied.

"There's something about Christmas that's just so romantic," I barely heard her say, she was quickly drifting off to sleep. I scooped her up and carried her on to the bed and got in beside her. Within minutes Aria and I were fast asleep with her head resting on my shoulder.

Thank you so much for reading!

I really enjoyed writing it so far, Ezra's POV is my favorite!
