Both

It's not a silly little moment

It's not the storm before the calm

This is the deep and dying breath of

This love that we've been working on

Miley woke up slowly on Christmas morning and got dressed before walking downstairs to greet everyone. She was met with a "Hi, Miley, merry Christmas. Did you sleep alright?" from Nicks mom, who was cooking breakfast, and answered with a short but polite answer.

Everybody soon gathered around the table to eat breakfast together, and even though Miley stole some glances towards Nick, she tried not seeking his attention because she often had to remind herself that she was moving and that any relations with Nick might be impossible – maybe a friendship was even too much to expect. She was going to live in other countries and experience new cultures and people, and Miley was pretty sure Nick thought she'd think he was boring, if she would see him again when she had been abroad for some years. But even though Miley didn't know what would happen, she was positive she'd never forget Nick or find him boring - ever.

Miley returned to her room and started to get excited to open her presents – they were going to wait to unwrap because Nick's family found it cozier and more satisfying for everyone if they opened their presents together after their stomachs were full.

Just as she was about to call Demi, Miley heard a knock on her door and stood up to answer it.

"Oh, hey Nick," she said as she saw Nick in her doorframe with his hands digging in his pockets. She turned her back and walked back to sit on the bed.

"Hi…" he said insecurely and followed her to the bed before sitting down beside her.

"So…" Miley began when he wasn't saying anything. "What's up?"

At first, Nick said nothing, but then he suddenly said, "Happy Christmas!" like the idea of that sentence had just stuck him.

"You, too!" Miley said and smiled. Nick didn't continue, so she had to. "Was that all you came in here to say?"

"Uh, no, I bought you something…" he said. Mileys eyes immediately light up with excitement.

"You did!" she said excitedly. "What is it?"

"It's kind of embarrassing…"

"No, come on Nick! What is it!"

Then he pulled a hand out of one of his pockets and out came a small pretty blue Tiffany & Co. box. Miley couldn't believe he would even consider buying her something as nice as Tiffany.

She accepted the box with slow motions, and when it was entirely in her grasp she looked up and into his brown orbs, not believing he had bought this for her.

"Come on, Miles. Open it," he encouraged her alluringly. "I know you want to."

She smiled beyond her will and smacked him playfully on the shoulder. Then she took off the ribbon and lifted the lid of the case. Inside was a plain silver necklace with a peace sign pendant.

"Wow, thank you Nick!" was all she could say when she looked up again. "You didn't have to do this."

"Do you like it?" he asked her and ignored her last statement.

"Do I like it?" Miley said, admiring the necklace. "I love it!"

"I knew you collected peace signs," he said, smiling at her reaction.

Miley put the box on the bed beside her and wrapped her arms tightly around him with the necklace in her hand.

"Thank you, Nick," she said into his ear softly before letting go. They both stood up and Miley turned around. She opened the necklace, held her hair away and gave him both parts of the lock, asking him to close it behind her neck. She held the pendant at her collar as his big fingers struggled to close the necklace. He finally got it and they shared a last hug before Nicks mom called them downstairs to open the rest of their presents.
