Love easter or easter love?

Kirstie's POV

We would really need to get up in a few minutes if we wanted to search a few eggs before the search of our presents for each other could begin. And yes, I was really impatiently.

"Boys, can we get up now? You know what… I'm just going to grab a bucket of water for you guys."

Nobody made a move. Really now? Even with the threat? Nothing?! I groaned immediately. Maybe I should get the bucket ready, if I wanted to begin the search. Yes, maybe I was a bit too old for this but I love tradition… and Mitch wanted to search them too. So we have decided to get together as a group and search them together. And yes, first the other three boys refused but we have convinced them that they just had to search one or two eggs because we would eat them all together. And the bags with our presents had our names on it so if somebody finds one for another one, we would just bring it with us. Afterwards, everybody should have one bag with four little, sweet presents.

"Don't get the water, Kirst." Really, Avi? Now you're awake? Well, it sounded pretty cute with his low, sleepy voice. It was lower than when he was awake and talked… and that was just sweet and cute and… argh, like a cute teddy bear.

"I know that I'm cute but really? Teddy bear? You can't just cuddle with me." Oops. Maybe I have spoken that out loud. Damn. But now that it was out, I couldn't get it back. And Avi was a nice guy so he wouldn't do something or treat me bad right now.

Oh, c'mon Kirstie, it isn't like you said to him that you had a crush on him.

Yep, now I was speaking to myself. Wasn't it lovely?

"Yeah, I can just cuddle with you. See." Now I scooted closer to him and got under his blanket – lucky me has lied down next to him. Afterwards I slipped my arms around his torso and laid my head next to his.

"See", I whispered.

"Got me. Obviously you can just cuddle with me", Avi whispered back and glided his arms around my torso.

"When can we search our presents and eggs?"

"When everyone is awake. Now sleep a bit. It's just a little bit after seven am. It won't hurt you when you have to wait a bit more. And you can stay here, if it makes you more comfortable."

My heart started to race and I nodded smiling. Then I whispered – like the whole time: "Maybe one more hour won't hurt."

"Well, maybe two or three… or four won't hurt, too. Because I bet, they'll over there", he pointed to Scott and Mitch who were also cuddling – sweet, "won't be awake for a bit. They are really sweet."

"They are", I nodded.

"Were they like that in high school, too?"

"Not that close, but they have been close since like forever." I smiled a bit at Avi and laid my head into his warm and soothing body. It was like he managed to make me calm down with only his presence.

When I woke up again, the boys surrounded us with grinning faces.

"Hm?", I asked, completely unaware from the whole situation. Avi next to me just groaned.

"Really? Guys, can't you get away just when we're sleeping? It's pretty annoying right now."

"But you look so cute."

"I look always cute. I mean, I'm like a teddy bear."

I almost cracked up laughing right then and there but then again… I was just awake for a few seconds, I couldn't think right now.

"Kirstie's words?"

"Maybe?", Avi said unsure of what he should say because let's be real. He couldn't lie to his friends. He was like the nicest guy of the world.

"Cute."

"Y'know what else is cute? Bunnies." Then it hit me again. We had Easter.

"Oh my gosh! We have to get started RIGHT NOW. Wait. I have to get dressed first. I'll be right back and then we're going to search."

"Now? But it's so early."

"You guys can be happy that I happened to be awake when she wanted to wake us. At seven am. And with a bucket of water."

"WHAT?!"

"I'm going to get dressed now… See ya!" With that I ran to my clothes, grabbed them and sprinted to the bathroom just to lock me in and breath. Maybe I overreacted but you couldn't know… These boys were really demons when it came to sleep in or not. It was crazy.

"Okay, so we're going to search them alone, right?"

"Well, it would be pretty awesome if we searched them in teams. Maybe we could be like you, Kevin and me and Avi and Kirstie since these both were like crazy and awoke at seven am. Would be a pretty good team though." Scott smirked at me and I just wanted to grab him then and there to kill him. I loved him like a brother though but he was also just as annoying as brother.

"Fine with me. You know why?"

"Because you loooove her", Mitch said making annoying kissing noises. I got bright red in my face while Avi rolled his eyes.

"Because we'll win. And, start!" With that he grabbed my hand and I just managed to scream a "What?!" before we got in his room.

"Why are we in your room?"

"Because we need a plan. We need to win."

"Avi, it's just an egg hunt, nothing more. We can't win something or wouldn't die if we lost."

"But… it's important to you."

"Well, you wouldn't just freak out because this. So what's wrong right now?"

"No- okay, here's the thing. Kevin, Scott, Mitch and me made a little deal. And they said that we need to win so I could, ehm, win our deal… yeah…" Avi cleared his throat a few times and I noticed a light blush on his cheeks. He was clearly lying. And to be honest, it was a bit hurtful but I didn't want to disappoint him so I got on a little smile and nodded my head.

"Let's get it on."

"That'd be something different, Kirst. I mean, I'd be fine with it, but…"

"Oh shut up you idiot!", I laughed lightly. "Avi, we don't need a plan to search these eggs. I'm the queen of egg hunts. Trust me, I got this."

Almost two hours later, we finally decided that there wasn't any eggs and presents left. We don't only got our presents but also Scott's and Mitch's so there was a pretty good chance that we were better than the others. At least in that point. We got like fifteen eggs, but we didn't know how many there were in the (big) garden – that was Scott's job. And now we both agreed that it was really, really unfair.

"How many do you have?"

"Four present bags and fifteen eggs." Avi's voice sounded really cute when he was proud. "All thanks to Kirstie, of course."

"No, we were a pretty good team, that's the reason." I smiled at him and he smiled back at me causing me to bite my lip. Maybe I had more than a huge crush on him… but hey, you couldn't really blame me, could you?

"We have one present bag and the other fifteen eggs, Mitch and I made thirty."

"So we won? Wait – why 'Mitch and I'? You said, you have done it alone!"

"Uhm, yeah… that's because we wouldn't want to tell you that we are like a couple now… Wait, I did tell it. Damn it", Scott mumbled.

"Watch the language", Kevin warned and got a quick apologize from Scott.

"Why are you ashamed? Are you afraid we would judge you because you're gay? Oh, wait. We all knew it all along", I said pretty sarcastically. Then a huge smile appeared at my face. "It was about time. I mean, c'mon, everybody saw that you were pretty 'hot' on each other as you'd put it." And I smirked as I saw that these both blushed right then and there. It was really priceless.

"Oh, we should go and split our things, you know?" Avi smiled at us and winked briefly at me – causing me to get a mega blush, but I managed to keep calm.

"Good idea."

It was evening and we were currently unpacking our presents. All you could hear was always the same: "That's so cute, thank you!"

"I have always wanted something like that."

"That's so great, thanks man!"

And so on, and so on… but the best one was Scott about Mitch's present for him: "Mitchy, I knew you loved me but that much?! That's so great, thank you so, so much! I love you."

Mitch's answer was a smirk and a wink, nothing more. Hilarious and cute at one time.

As for me, I have wanted to open Avi's present as the first one but he said that he wanted it to be the last one – so I did it. He would have an excuse if said something like that, so I was fine.

After a new blanket – yes, I love blankets, they are so amazing and cuddly – from Kevin and new pairs of lovely earrings from Scott and Mitch – looked like they went shopping together, but I didn't mind because these earrings were so amazing –, I could finally open Avi's present. My present for him was a new beanie and a small dragon stuffed animal. He was so happy about it – and I was happy that he was happy.

When I opened it, my breath got caught. Then my heart raced the doubly time than before. In the small box lied a necklace. It was beautiful with its green and blue jewelry and the silver metal around it. It wasn't big and it looked simple but it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

"Avi, that must have costed so, so much. You shouldn't have done that for me."

"Are you saying that you aren't worth it? Because, yes, you are. Do you like it?"

"It's the most beautiful thing, I've ever seen, isn't it?"

"Well, not for me", he mumbled and I looked at him curious.

"What?"

"You're way more beautiful than a simple necklace."

"I… thank you, Avi. You're really too sweet for the world."

I looked him in the eyes and spotted a special expression; love. That was the moment I fell really hard for Avi. Literally. Kevin has obviously decided he would end this whole staring contest and got me the needed 'push' to go for Avi… well, he pushed me onto Avi and so it happened that I fell on him. And… maybe, just maybe our lips connected. I first wanted to pull away but then Avi started kissing me and my head went numb. It was the most glorious feeling, I've ever had. The whole 'a firework exploded inside me'-stories in books or something like that aren't even right. It was so much more than a firework. Maybe an atomic bomb would fit better…

When we pulled away, we smiled like idiots and even our so-called 'friends' couldn't ruin our mood with their "Whoooo, Kavi finally prevails!"-shouts. We just stared into each other's eyes. And maybe kissed a bit more.

Easter special for you guys! I hope, you guys liked it - with Kavi AND Scömìche. ;) [Did I write that right? Oh boy...]

Nightling: And you just made my day a whole lot better, thank you! I'll think about the Kevin-and-Lindsay one because... in this one I kind of felt bad for him... I mean, Scomiche has cuddled and Kavi, but him? He was alone :/ So, I'll definitely try it ;) The joke was good - I like jokes like that^^

So happy Easter everyone - here in Germany it's almost twelve am, so Easter is almost at its end...

Love you guys!
